    I had to listen multiple times and at multiple moments in my life to understand and realize the deep meaning of his words.
    His talk about water has very much in common with zen and the realisation of who or better what we actually are, what actually is important in a self build worls full of illusions and false promisis. This story is brilliant and Im so thankfull to been able to listen to this video over and over again, thank you very much Derek Chua! Keep posting more! 💚🙏🏻🍄🌱🕉🌍☮

    idk, it felt like there was a lot of platitudes in it, it flattened reality to a degree that it wasn't really all that helpful.

    Is the present time the water?

      Personally, I think the "water" is a constant. Flowing through our lives.

      ​@@darthchua surely we flow through the water. Water is life, the world we're in, a state of being, and space-time. 🤷‍♀️
      Sure I've heard this speech before but it's wonderful to hear again. 💜

    To the fish and the water we drink, this is water. But, in regards to what David is talking about, the climate of human consciousness, this is our water, in grave need of learning from.
    What else the collective made up of, but the sum of its individuals, which means it begins with the individual that is you, not the world around you. The grand dilemma of a platitude to save and change the world, including God.

    The Devil chooses his timing. He is a liar and a deceiver. He attacks us when we are Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired......HALT stop and think. I am not vulnerable to let this put me down in Jesus name, amen. 🙏
