01:24 Chapter 9, WORN OUT Situation - when we feel too tired, cut off, or lonely. The dual nature of Money. We are like Gulliver meeting the giants. The giants of Money: old societies, institutions, and bureaucracies. Protection, but also forced loyalty. How best to engage not only with Money, but also with the giants of Money?
06:03 Pausing when WORN OUT. Conventional asymmetry and deeper symmetry. Accepting the challenge of actively looking for that deeper symmetry by being competitive: 1. Talking and listening. 2. Spark and traction - looking for the key opening the fortified gate. 3. Rest and alone time away from the asymmetrical relationship. Pausing when WORN OUT is about looking for symmetry - again, and again.
11:29 Our relationship with the giants of Money. How we relate to ourselves effect Money, and how the giants relate to themselves effect Money, as well. Some of us like to live close to the societies, institutions, and bureaucracies of Money. Others of us want to live as far away from them as possible. And still some of us want to live sometimes close to, sometimes away from, the giants. Our task as individuals is finding a personal way of engaging with the giants of Money. Our relationship has real value if it adds to our sense of purpose, and if it feels like our own personal choice. We ask ourselves: where can the symmetry best be found between us? Sometimes we must look long and hard, but still must keep looking, until we find it - because otherwise, the day we stop looking would become the day we become consistently WORN OUT. We want our Money to feel like Breathing Space.
