Every appearance is essentially meaningless. We are here to provide the story. We are here to define the experience in whatever way we want. We have this freedom. But we also have the freedom do give up all meaning. Freedom from ourselves. ❤️🙏🏽
I LOOOOOVED this when I saw it first time, so glad you've posted it here too. We torture ourselves by believing false meanings, instead of looking in AWE at the magical mystery of the unknown.
I've heard a simiar story where the person says "Is that so". It is a great story of detachment, witnessing as opposed to making meaning and reacting to the meaning. I love it. It is not making meaning of anything just be. See it without measuring, comparing or making meaning. Thanks Kyle a good reminder.
I was sitting outside today... thinking about the meaning behind why X doesn’t communicate with me very much any more. And then i thought about this vid. Which I watched yesterday. And then birds, which were there all the time, called NOW to me. Not literally :) but I snapped into NOW and saw them. They were eating and drinking and chirping. I stayed with them for awhile.... ten or fifteen minutes, without attaching meaning. And without worrying about X. Thank you Kyle. 🌼
The problem arises when we give meaning to things from a place of our trauma like fear of the government ect. Because then you can bet that it’s distorted. But at the same time everything and everyone is right in their own way. They create their own reality from their lens of perception.
Kyle, one of the biggest thing you taught me is it is okay not to know. I'm proudly accepting the fact that "I don't know" what is going to happen in the future (at this moment). Surrendering to the Universe. I know the Universe have my back!! Much love to all of you 💖
You're spot on, Kyle! You've described exactly what it means to be human. We make a meaning of everything. But understanding that everything is meaningless is the first step to a new paradigm.
Omg... Kyle, I'm laughing so hard at your revision of that tale. THANK YOU!! I was feeling sad tonight and it totally cheered me up. You're so awesome!!
Bingo exactly...same thing with symptoms ..I have a major headache, that means I have a brain tumor; I'm having chest pains, that means I'm having a heart attack; my face is tingly, that means I'm having a stroke; my hand is twitching, that means I have Parkinson's, etc....great video.
Perfect for me to hear right now. I have consciously stopped myself from attaching meaning, 5 times since listening. It felt so much lighter. I hope I can keep this up. Feels really good. Thank you.
Cracking up at your version of the story! I’ve heard it before and it is a good example of how we can just sit without judging a situation. That was really hard for me at the beginning of the pandemic. I felt like I had to have it “all figured out.”
This is an amazing video. I am going to bring this into my awareness and try to just let things be instead of having to attach meaning to everything. I can't explain how much your content is changing my life, thank you Kyle.
Everyone has a point of view/their own mindset. I have learned to shut off the news and do my own thing, be the authentic "ME". If you don't give a shit, THAT is very powerful!
You are freaking hilarious AND totally on point. Those beings who have yet to realize that they are pure awareness of being (I AM) expressing in, as and through a conditioned physical form are the ones applying all kinds of meanings...mostly crazy human meanings! Those of us who are aware of our True Identity...Spiritual being having a human experience, are simply in the flow of life loving and accepting what is. We know we manifest our reality (dream life here on Earth) through our Mind (interaction of conscious and subconscious activity) so we are relaxed knowing what we consciously called forth from the infinite field of all possibility that resides in us. We don't have control over the how, when, where and what our desired manifestations will look like but that is the fun and mystery of life. We get still and commune with our Higher Self who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. We are the physical expression of that Presence and it loves to surprise and delight us, so there is nothing to fear. Nothing can harm you unless you believe it can. Believing is seeing. Therefore to have a happy dream life - relax, clear your mind of all human beliefs, flow with Divine Presence knowing all is well. When you do catch yourself in an unconscious moment applying meaning where it doesn't belong, be still, go within and clear that belief from your mind. Life is a wonderful harmonious dance of light and dark or yin and yang energy when you are Self-aware. It is only a nightmare or fight of light and dark when you have to dis-cover the True Self. Peace and love to you always! xoxo
“He said that, in Chinese, he said ‘she’s hot’” hahahaha. Like listening to a 6yo make up a story on the spot 😂 I’ve always been overwhelmed by reality’s infinite variables and the feeling that it’s a bad thing to be on the fence. But idk there’s a truth under every perspective ? 🥸
Meaningless just means there's no meaning yet, so there's endless possibilities, I think it might be a bum to find your meaning because then you're pretty much creating boundaries for yourself and if that falls through you're gonna feel as if you're drawing the short straw, but when you're open to everything when one thing ends it just means something new and possibly better comes along and that can go on forever with the right mentality
I remember the Wednesday Night he did this, I was laughing hysterically. So nice to have this section of that night to watch and laugh any time!! THANK YOU Kyle Cease!!
OMG. Kyle you are flippin precious and are cracking me up! And I love this message. I have been saying for a while that it’s exhausting “finishing other people’s stories.” THANK YOU!
AAAHHHH!!! I know the Chinese farmer story, and, I have to say, your version is by far my favorite!! :) Thank you for all of the food for thought that you share on a regular basis.
I found the story this way: Many years ago a wise peasant lived in China. He had a son who was the apple of his eye. He also was the proud owner of a fine white stallion (horse) which everyone admired. One day his horse escaped from his grounds and disappeared. The villagers came to him one by one and said: “You are such an unlucky man. It is such bad luck that your horse escaped.” The peasant responded: “ Who knows. Maybe it’s bad, maybe it’s good.” The next day the stallion returned followed by 12 wild horses. The neighbors visited him again and congratulated him on his luck. Again, he just said: “Who knows. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.” As it happened, the next day his son was attempting to train one of the wild horses when he fell down and broke his leg. Once more everyone came with their condolences: “It’s terrible.” Again, he replied: “Who knows. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.” A few days passed and his poor son was limping around the village with his broken leg, when the emperor’s army entered the village announcing that a war was starting and they were enrolling all the young men of the village. However, they left the peasant’s son since he had a broken leg. Everyone was extremely jealous of the peasant. They talked about his sheer good luck, while the old man just muttered: “Who knows. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s bad.”
Kyle, as soon as the Chinese Farm joke happened, I knew I had been watching the same video twice. Wow. Still learning new things even the second time around! But, truth be told, I'm not going to finish now!😆
The story of the Chinese farmer was favourite and I heard it from Alan Watts lectures. I'm in a place of I don't know. But it's external rather than internal where it has always been. Yer there's a little meaning but I'm currently sat in a place of I don't know and I'm OK with that. I'm sure what's suppose to happen will, if not same thing. I've ballsed up a great connection in the process and I have no idea how it's going go from now but it's OK. I'm good with not knowing.
That was the most bizarre version of the good luck / bad luck story I have ever heard. Hilarious 🤣 this is the version I remember: theunitycodex.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/good-luck-bad-luck-who-knows/
I've been one that would see everything from many many perspectives so I could be open to, and relate to other peoples tbought processes. But never thought about looking at things as ,"maybe nothing", or "whatever", just be...
This is the most hilariously bad telling of the Chinese farmer's son story! LMAO
Our greatest gift is that the world is meaningless…. We are the meaning givers…🌹
I don’t know why but “the carrot section” cracked me up.
Every appearance is essentially meaningless. We are here to provide the story. We are here to define the experience in whatever way we want. We have this freedom. But we also have the freedom do give up all meaning. Freedom from ourselves. ❤️🙏🏽
Agreeeeee
"It's not what happens in life that bothers us. It's what we're believing about it that bothers us."
-Byron Katie
“We give everything all the meaning it has” ACIM ❤️🙏🏻
I LOOOOOVED this when I saw it first time, so glad you've posted it here too.
We torture ourselves by believing false meanings, instead of looking in AWE at the magical mystery of the unknown.
A new Kyle video makes my day!!!!
I've heard a simiar story where the person says "Is that so".
It is a great story of detachment, witnessing as opposed to making meaning and reacting to the meaning.
I love it. It is not making meaning of anything just be. See it without measuring, comparing or making meaning.
Thanks Kyle a good reminder.
The video you posted releasing Michael’s deep guilt and shame is a process I very much want to go through. I am getting the Absolutely Everything pass
I think those neighbors reincarnated into my neighbors!!! They also watch and comment on everything I do, they even make up stuff I haven’t done! 🤣🤣🤣
Listening to you totally eff up the details of the Chinese farm metaphor was the highlight of my day 🤣🤣
Dude, This is brilliant insight. Your shit keeps waking me up. Thank you.
Thank you for this!!! The timing could not have been better!!! And THANK YOU for the retelling of the Chinese Farmer Story!! LOL!!!
I was sitting outside today... thinking about the meaning behind why X doesn’t communicate with me very much any more. And then i thought about this vid. Which I watched yesterday. And then birds, which were there all the time, called NOW to me. Not literally :) but I snapped into NOW and saw them. They were eating and drinking and chirping.

You're spot on, Kyle! You've described exactly what it means to be human. We make a meaning of everything. But understanding that everything is meaningless is the first step to a new paradigm.
Meanings that define our _Identity_ and our _World_ are the most _Influential_ in our lives.
Honestly, this is the BEST DEAL anyone could ask for in support of your WELLBEING.
She flew into the no-fly zone 😂😂
😂😂 I love you Kyle but that was truly the worst and most hilarious version of the good luck/bad luck story! 😂😂💚
Omg... Kyle, I'm laughing so hard at your revision of that tale. THANK YOU!! I was feeling sad tonight and it totally cheered me up. You're so awesome!!
Bingo exactly...same thing with symptoms
..I have a major headache, that means I have a brain tumor; I'm having chest pains, that means I'm having a heart attack; my face is tingly, that means I'm having a stroke; my hand is twitching, that means I have Parkinson's, etc....great video.
Wow I'm so grateful thanks again kyle lol for the millionth time lol evolving together eh brother, I'm so proud of you
Perfect for me to hear right now. I have consciously stopped myself from attaching meaning, 5 times since listening. It felt so much lighter. I hope I can keep this up. Feels really good. Thank you.
Hahaha! That is the most hilarious version of that story ever. A good morning chuckle:). Thanks, Kyle
❤️ I'm in the right place again. Thank you ❤️
Meaning is the _Particle_ We _Define_ out of The Wave of infinite quantum possibilities.
💫brilliant 💫
Cracking up at your version of the story! I’ve heard it before and it is a good example of how we can just sit without judging a situation. That was really hard for me at the beginning of the pandemic. I felt like I had to have it “all figured out.”
Love this! 🥰
While saying 'I don't know' is also an opinion, it's one that at least leaves openness to everything possible.
This is an amazing video. I am going to bring this into my awareness and try to just let things be instead of having to attach meaning to everything. I can't explain how much your content is changing my life, thank you Kyle.
Love this 😄. Thanks for being present and real.
Wow! Your presence has such clarity! You are on a roll, man! Keep it up. 🙏
Gold blood!!!! The riches reside within. Thanks Kyle fun and insighful post.
Everyone has a point of view/their own mindset. I have learned to shut off the news and do my own thing, be the authentic "ME". If you don't give a shit, THAT is very powerful!
You rock Kyle!!! Love this, And you’re funny version of the farmer was hilarious!
😂😂😂 omg your version of that story is so awesome….I think I’ve heard the original from Eckhart Tolle….you’re hilarious!

We have always been meaning making machines

Don't sweat the Farmer story, even Eckhart improvise it every single time 😄
Find peace ,love yourself, have no expectations and just be.
All possibilities exist!
As always, your messages are funny and soulful and they always move us towards our true purpose. The Chinese farmer story-awesomeness! Thank you!!!
The bastardization of the story 😆😆😆 Love it.
"It turns out... she can fly!" At this point I'm not even surprised 😂
I’m dying with your story! Hahaha!!!!
Maybe.
LMAAOOOOOO "THE CARROT SECTION" IM DYYYYYYYING PEEPEE LAUGHTER...I LOVE U MR. CEASE!!!
"They fell into a big hole" You're cracking me up 😂😂😂

I've never heard of told like that before. Well, I tell you one thing, it sticks in the mind more than the original. 😅💕
We give meanings to things through the lenses of our perception which is different for every one of us
It’s so true someone was coughing so hard at the nail salon yesterday and everyone was freaking out 😂
So good! Love your message
I’m going to play a game today. See how many meanings I assigned to my day today. This is meaning number 1! I don’t know!
That sounds awesome!
Thank you Kyle Awesome Video,
That story made me laugh! 😂 i guess sums up the meaning of this topic well, what meaning are we giving to what we heard? ✨ nice work Kyle😉
“Fell down in the carrot section....” 😂😂😂
looool 🤣
Comedy therapy FOR SURE 💯💥
Wow! This is my favorite video of yours by far! Thank you for all you do! 🤗
Oh wow. So true! Thank you beautiful you.
Kyle, as soon as the Chinese Farm joke happened, I knew I had been watching the same video twice. Wow. Still learning new things even the second time around! But, truth be told, I'm not going to finish now!😆

The carrot section is, to be fair, the most dangerous area on an agricultural farm.
