00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: It's all in one location. Ero dot net a r

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,599
r oe dot net. I've talked about hosting seventeen different

3
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:09,000
podcasts for how many years, and it's been like, well,

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,400
where are they at? I don't know, just google it. Well,

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,240
that's not a good idea ero dot net, a r

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,519
r oe dot net. I'm always asking questions. The reason

7
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,760
why is because the fund begins when you start researching

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,559
for answers such as the Bible talks about forty days

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,640
and forty nights. Is it the same as our forty

10
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,160
days and forty nights? Plus? What is it about life

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,159
that gives off this perception that there are no breaks?

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,880
I'm spelling breaks both ways b r a k e

13
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,840
s and b r e a k s. My name

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,439
is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,159
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen,

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,960
and study, then activate. I happen to call it the

17
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,159
daily Mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,359
it's my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas.

19
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:57,000
We as people tend to throw things to the side

20
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:00,079
because we think we're gonna deal with it later on.

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,039
How about that thing you started about six and a

22
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:04,439
half years ago. Did you get to it yet this weekend? Right?

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,280
All right? Okay, good good, I'm proud of you. Okay.

24
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:09,959
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal.

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,959
But by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,879
is the daily mess. The forty days and forty nights

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,719
talked about in the Big Book. Are they equivalent to

29
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:27,799
what we experience in forty days and forty nights today?

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,599
The answer yes, but but, but but but In Hebrew culture,

31
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:36,959
any part of the day counted as a day. If

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,760
something began in the afternoon and ended the next morning,

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,840
that in itself was two days. There's a symbolic meaning

34
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:48,120
to all of this. It represents a period of testing, preparation,

35
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,959
and transformation. While it's a real time frame, it holds

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,239
a much deeper meaning, a complete time of trial and purification.

37
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,840
Ancient Hebrew months where usually based on twenty nine to

38
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:04,840
thirty days, forty days and forty nights wasn't seen as

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,439
a single month. Why then, does it feel faster today?

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,599
Forty days and forty nights is nothing compared to already

41
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,439
being three quarters of the way through this year. The

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,599
reason why it feels like forty days flying by today

43
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:23,199
is due to psychological, cultural, and technological factors rather than

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,159
any physical change on how long a day really is.

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,000
No matter what, keep telling yourself, We're always going to

46
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:35,240
have twenty four hours, not twenty three, not twenty one,

47
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:40,879
not twenty five, twenty four hours coming up next. Why

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,800
does it feel like it's moving so fast? What are

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,319
we doing wrong? Hey? Thanks for coming back to the

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,919
daily mess. We've been putting our focus on the infamous

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,560
forty days and forty nights that are featured inside the Bible.

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,879
There are so many things to learn about this moment

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
in history, as well as our own history and our

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
own everyday walks. They keep picking up from where we

55
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:10,319
left off yesterday. Our physical perception of time changes as

56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,199
we age. Each year becomes a much smaller fraction of

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,639
our total life. When you're ten years old, that's only

58
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:19,439
ten percent of your life. Therefore, life feels like, oh

59
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,800
my god, it's forever. Just get me through high school please.

60
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:27,639
When you're fifty years old, that's two percent of your life,

61
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:32,039
and the events feel extremely shorter. This makes time seem

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,479
to move a lot faster, even though it's really still

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,319
just twenty four hours in a single day. Technology is

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,840
a constant stimulation. Rapid information notification and tasks shift our focus,

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,919
making it feel like we have less time for real

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,560
reflection or memory formation. A busy life is a blurred path.

67
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:56,680
Let me say that one more time, because I wanted

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,719
to sink into my own soul. A busy life is

69
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,000
a a blurred path. Being constantly connected compresses our sense

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,159
of time. The best way to slow down time is

71
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:12,919
to break your routine, create marker memories, and that in

72
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,720
itself will generate new experiences. I'm Marrow, and that's the

73
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,439
daily mess.
