I have a new metric of how good you are.
And it’s not what you’d expect.
Let’s start with old people. Somebody might say: “I’m 35. I’m not old. Old is 45, or 65.” Yes, right. See you in ten years and you’ll just switch numbers.
Everybody is old.
Old people getting old: it’s not just bodies age. The memory data bank is getting larger, too.
“I remember when 10 years ago I was…”
Are you listening to the same music you listened to in school?
We need to dump that cache memory.
How often do you say or think:
“Years ago, there was a gas station in this place.”
Your memory load is getting larger. Pretty soon you’ll be like your old computer: clunky, slow, unresponsive.
You need to do a serious inventory of how much of what you’re thinking is past as in memory.
I know, it’s hard work. Reduce the past to ashes. Reduce thinking.
Whether it was “good” or “bad” it doesn’t matter. There is no good and bad.
Eckard Tolle said : Time is mind. Spend less time thinking. Shrink the cache memory. Time is a series of NOWS. No more past. present and future.
Watch yourself. You’re seriously aging when you remember too much.
What you should be doing: For example: spend much time looking for new music to listen to. (doesn’t matter if music is old, as long as it’s new to you).
You’re as good as you’re not remembering often. Because you have no reason to.
Max somewhat echoes Sadhguru :There are no good or bad people.
Hello Max,
This dude Mark Spilker wakes up at 4:30 AM
Is that a requirement or not ?

Hi Pilar,
Matter of fact, it’s good discipline to wake up at 4:30 AM.
But that means you can’t stay up until 1.
Kudos to Spilker.
And to all others that do it.

Arjun,
This Sadhguru video is newer
Purging the memory ? Impossible.
Ok, Leo
That’s why people like myself, Tony Robbins and many others recommend you live in action mode.
Remembering is a function of memory. With the music example, if you were searching for music you wouldn’t be listening to the same old music.
Hear this quote, from Osho: “Thinking is dreaming with words, dreaming is thinking with pictures—that’s the only difference. Dreaming is a primitive way of thinking, and thinking is a more evolved way of dreaming—more civilized, more cultured, more intellectual, but it is the same—only the pictures have been replaced by words. And, in a way, because pictures have been replaced by words, it has gone even farther away from reality, because reality is closer to pictures than to words. ” -Tao, The pathless path
The problem with modern man is he lives in his head.
