Life looks like this to me: um, you know, you start off and you head in a direction, and you evolve. And then you have your setbacks and the pains and so on. Ideally, you learn and you readapt, and you go on, and you have another one of those. It's that process through life of learning through the mistakes and the setbacks, and you keep evolving in that way all the way through, yeah.

Um, tell me about your um staircase. I think it's exactly the same. What you call failures or experiences that we call painful are always recycled unless we learn from them. Now, we use it in a different way. The terminology Karma recycles. Karma means all the lessons that you needed to learn; if you didn't learn them, they would recycle. And once you learn them, then you transcend them, you move to the next level, and you evolve. You keep evolving, and evolution is a never-ending horizon. It's the journey.

Isn't it funny how we discover these things? I mean, it's just—and it's not because we're unique. Yeah, no, it's because you look at it, and it's real.
