So I'd like to start by talking about the concept of freedom.

I think the term "freedom," the concept of freedom,

is something that is very important to us.

We're very passionate in our search for freedom

and in our defense of our rights of freedom.

And we fought very hard for many centuries to achieve a certain

level of freedom, which in many ways has been achieved,

a certain degree of external freedom in terms of how we live

our lives, in terms of how we dress, what we believe in,

think is more important, which is deep down in our minds,

So if we look at our mind and we see how often it does

often, our mind goes to places we don't want it to go--

So the mind is not behaving in a way we want it to behave.

very often, our mind does things or goes to places

worries, obsessive planning, painful memories, reactions.

When we're sitting in a car stuck in traffic,

and then we find ourselves reacting negatively--

Or when somebody says something to us that we don't like,

So in many ways, we are not in control of our minds.

And of course, you discover this really strongly

Anybody who meditates discovers within five minutes, or five

We're trying to sit there and focus on our breathing,

And within seconds, the mind is planning menus, or writing

So there's this lack of freedom, this lack of choice.

that we don't know how to choose happiness.

Very often, we think happiness will come from,

can manipulate our life to a certain degrees

based on a sensation, a kind of quick sensation,

We have this kind of-- we want to get high.

that is triggered by something, and then we feel good.

And of course, the problem with that is it doesn't last.

So when our happiness depends on an external trigger,

then the problem is when the trigger is absent,

And we're just, in a way, lurching from one

high to the next, looking for a buzz, looking for a sensation.

And so much of the way we construct our lives now

is based on that with our use of the internet, even

We construct our life to give us these sensations that

But the problem is the more we are hoping that happiness

We're creating a deficiency or sense of almost despair,

And then also, the wanting and the grasping and craving

that we experience becomes a habit that creates more
