00:00When you say, something bad can happen to me, either right now or in the future, aren't you saying, you are very important, at least to yourself?
00:09Some really big misfortune is going to fall on me.
00:13Indirectly you are asserting that you are so big that you can attract a big misfortune.
00:19Are you that big? Has anything really big ever happened to you?
00:23Then how can even a big boulder fall on your head?
00:26But there is pleasure in worry.
00:28This will sound strange to many, but stay with it.
00:31There is a subtle pleasure in worrying.
00:34The opposite of this self-centered worry is immersion in action.
00:40Immerse yourself in the right action and then where is the space and the time to worry?
00:46Surely you are stealing time away from work so that you can indulge in worries and anxieties and fancies of all kinds.
