This applies in many cases. People have. Let's say you might feel a sense of lack of something meaningful in your life, or you might feel a sense of lack of feeling that you are not in. You are not good enough, you are not enough in this world. And some people then come up with, what is it that I want? And the egos might say, in many young people, you have that. You might say, I want to be a famous. This or that. I want to be. If you ask young people, because they're always online and doing things in the virtual world. I want to be a famous YouTuber. I want to be a famous. Okay, now what? Let's say somebody says, I want to be a famous YouTuber. That is not good. That is not enough. You can, you can, you can sit down and then you imagine, I'm a famous YouTuber. And even if you, if you feel. Feel the power of beingness, there's still something missing. And, and the. What is missing is in the dimension of doing. Let's say you have. Let's say you have the dimension of being. You're rooted in the being and you feel the fullness of life. And then you say, okay, I am. If I meant I. I am a. An influential and famous YouTuber. I am an influential. But what are you doing? Do you have anything to convey to people on YouTube? Is there anything that you are enthusiastic about? Is there anything that people would love to hear from you or that people would find helpful? That is this. It's not enough. The foundation. Yes, the foundation is to be rooted in the dimension of being through the sense of fullness of life within you here and now. But then for many things, maybe not for all things, but for many things, you need to also address the dimension of doing. You have the being dimension. That's the foundation. The doing dimension is, okay, let's come back to the famous you. I want to be a famous YouTuber. Do you have something that you feel enthusiastic about that perhaps other people would appreciate? It would help them? What could. What could it be? Is it music or singing or information, conveying information or entertaining, whatever it is. And then you focus on that. Develop technical skills, because putting things on, you do rich skills of editing and cameras, producing videos, and enjoy the doing of it. When you engage in the doing of it, this enjoyment of being flows into the doing. And again, you're not. Do not be attached too much to the outcome. That's very important. But enjoy the doing of it so that the being flows into the being dimension, flows into the doing dimension. Too. So you enjoy learning, learning how to produce videos, learning editing, video editing, learning. And then whatever subject matter you have that you feel enthusiastic about that would help the world and other people. Other people. Then you, you learn more about it or you go more deeply into it and then you begin to practice and it's all a wonderful thing. And you're not, you're not attached to the outcome, but from time to time, then you're able to, from time to time you go within and you imagine yourself as a famous YouTuber that's reaching hundreds of thousands or million of people who are being helped or they love you contribute some, something to other people's lives by doing whatever it is you're doing and by doing that, you are a famous YouTuber, then it's more powerful. If you feel that this is already the case, it's already I'm already a famous YouTuber. Perhaps for the time being you only get 20 views per video. That's fine. That's at the moment. That's all that, that's fine. But you. And even that you appreciate those 20 views. Great twin, I've reached 20 people. And then you go within and again you feel you're already a famous YouTuber and you're helping. It's not just this image of me as a famous YouTuber. There must be another dimension to it that relates to the, the world. How does that affect the world? Whatever you want to achieve that, that can be there, that empowers you. What does, how do you help? What does what, what does the universe want to manifest through me? When, when, when I say universe, I mean the intelligence that pervades the universe that's behind it all, the universal intelligence behind it all, the divine intelligence behind the phenomenal world. What does it want from me? And maybe it wants me to become a famous YouTuber. But the most important thing is not the famous. It's just 40 or what is it that the energy that's flowing through me.
