Q & A
What does the 'road to success' look like according to the script?
-The road to success is not straight; it's full of twists, turns, ups and downs, and challenges. People often face obstacles, or 'gates,' that require them to grow and overcome personal limitations.
What is a 'gate' as defined in the script?
-A 'gate' is described as a barrier or obstacle that prevents someone from advancing towards their goals. It represents an internal oppositional factor that needs to be addressed and overcome for personal growth.
How does overcoming a 'gate' contribute to personal development?
-Overcoming a gate leads to personal expansion, growth, and transformation. As individuals pass through these gates, they become more aware, refine their values, and experience inner transformation, ultimately contributing to their personal and universal evolution.
Can you give an example of a 'gate' someone might face in their pursuit of success?
-One example given is an athlete facing a gate related to lack of support. To pass through this gate, the athlete must demonstrate perseverance and push forward even when others might quit, overcoming both internal and external barriers.
What happens when people resist facing these 'gates'?
-When people resist going through gates, they may give up on what they want, lose interest, or stop wanting it as much. This can make the gate swing open because there is no longer resistance to not achieving the goal.
Why do people sometimes get what they want when they no longer desire it strongly?
-People often get what they want when they no longer desire it strongly because they are no longer resisting not having it. This lack of resistance can make it easier for them to pass through the gates that once blocked their path.
What is the 'final gate' mentioned in the script, and why is it significant?
-The final gate is described as choosing to face the very thing one has been avoiding their entire life. This is the most difficult gate because it often involves confronting deep-seated fears or traumas, but it is essential to achieving one's deepest desires.
How are trauma and desire related in the script's explanation?
-According to the script, many deep desires are driven by a need to avoid or heal from a trauma experienced in the past. At the final gate, the individual must confront this trauma directly instead of avoiding it, as the experience of it becomes crucial to obtaining what they want.
What are some examples of personal 'gates' faced by individuals in the script?
-Examples include Jeremy, who must risk homelessness to live authentically; Aifa, who must choose unsafety to gain empowerment; Mia, who must face rejection to find true belonging; and De Way, who must choose aloneness to fight for his cause.
What does the script say about the relationship between desire and suffering?
-The script argues that desire itself is not the cause of suffering. People suffer when they do not make peace with the fact that desire is endless and when they resist facing the 'gates' that stand in the way of achieving their desires.
