Extrait du cours

If you ask the question the right way, "Okay, this is who I am, I want to look at others to motivate myself, to also lift myself up," then the way you ask it, it's water that will build you up. If you ask the question of why the other person has it and not me, it's water that will destroy you, that will drown you. That is Noah’s teva. Noah, he knew how to build his teva. Building his teva means that, above all, he knew how to understand who he was. Who he was? He set limits, he set boundaries, he built himself. Once he had built his own self, then he was preserved from the torrent and the flood all around him.

If you ask the question the right way, "Okay, this is who I am, I want to look at others to motivate myself, to also lift myself up," then the way you ask it, it's water that will build you up. If you ask the question of why the other person has it and not me, it's water that will destroy you, that will drown you. That is Noah’s teva. Noah, he knew how to build his teva.

Building his teva means that, above all, he knew how to understand who he was. Who he was? He set limits, he set boundaries, he built himself. Once he had built his own self, then he was preserved from the torrent and the flood all around him.

>> And so he would float above the waters. It's when you have built your teva that the waters, which represent envy—the world of competition—you see? Well, on the contrary, it will lift you up, it will propel you to look at others. But you must look at others only once you have asked yourself the right question.

Who am I? When you know who you are, you have your lifebuoy. Agreed ? You know who you are, and well, the world will carry you.

You will be lifted above the waters. But when you only look at others, you drown. Ah.
