You became how you survived.

Survival shapes who you are.

That's the key to understanding yourself.

And we're going to go into a lot of depth on this point.

This episode builds on top of two previous episodes about survival, called Understanding Survival Part 1 and Part 2.

Go watch those two episodes if you haven't already. It's going to change your entire

orientation towards life and how you see

human beings and yourself.

And then this will take it just to the next level.

So, first I want you to notice just looking at the animal kingdom,

looking at the shape of animals, literally look at the shape that animals take. Why does a snake have that kind of shape that it has? Which is very

different from the shape of a giraffe, which is different from the shape of a giraffe

which is different from the shape of a kangaroo

which is different from the shape of a bat

which is different from the shape of an octopus

which is different from the shape of a

ant and so on.

As kids, we look at all these weird animals like the platypus or something

and were amused by these interesting creatures.

You might even fall in love with some of them.

But we don't really see just how serious their shape is.

Their shape is not just some arbitrary thing.
