0:00.0	Hi, this is against everyone with Connor Habib. Friends, the way the world seems to be coming in
0:08.8	again and again in our lives is like a wave to beat us down. Have you noticed that? I want to talk
0:16.9	about that a little bit before I start this episode with Lisa Romero. For some of us,
0:22.3	that wave has been unbearable. In fact, it has been a killing wave for some people. But for many
0:29.1	of us, most of us, actually, this wave is knocking us about. We see the swells and currents from different vantage points and the tides at different times.
0:43.0	So whether these waves, this water started to come to you back in 2001 with the shattering of a sense of global security,
0:52.2	or maybe you're seeing water in your dreams again and again,
0:56.8	and that's creating a certain kind of mood in your psyche. Or maybe you feel you're drowning in
1:03.6	responsibilities or washed out by the exhaustion of debts. Or maybe, and I think a lot of people feel this, there's a kind of unceasingness
1:13.7	of world tragedies coming ashore and pulling away and coming ashore and pulling away. That's eroding
1:19.8	your confidence or even your normal sense of participating in life. I think beyond all the material and psychic effects, though, we can also
1:31.8	feel that our ability to be, just to be, has been taken from us. It's like we're pulled in our lives
1:42.8	away from who we really are.
1:47.0	Like, you know, when you go to the beach and you walk into the ocean and you're in the water for a while and then you look back and you see you've been carried so far from the spot at which you entered, how did I end up all the way over here? Isn't that
2:01.3	where my home bases? Isn't that where I was sitting or standing? I've definitely been going
2:08.4	through a lot of that for a while now. Of course, there are things in my life that I am happy
2:15.0	about, but so much of who I am is being transformed by
2:18.9	the waters of being, the waters of my life, and the life that we all share. Maybe, and I don't,
2:27.3	in some ways I don't like saying this, but maybe you've sensed this from listening to the show.
2:32.4	My life is undergoing so many changes, and I talk about all of them
2:36.5	with Lisa on this episode. But when I say perhaps you sense them, I should say the episodes so far this
2:45.8	year, it's not that I don't think they offer anything, but I felt so disconnected from who I am and the show in
