Understanding Life Through Hospice Perspectives

Everything is perfect.

What does that mean?

It means that everything that's happening right now is actually a

perfect manifestation of a maturation of a

species.

We don't actually have,

you know, a polycrisis going on. We've got a hospice moment.

And the joy that I had as a hospice doctor was so different than when I was running

ICUs and battling against death and failing against death

every day. You change your perspective for a moment

as a doctor, and you

suddenly are sitting by somebody's bed, and

the victory is no longer staying alive longer.

It's integrating everything that's happened.

And I got to watch over and over again how humans at

that last few minutes of life

suddenly look back and realize their life was perfect.

And I think that's the exciting moment we're in, is we're gonna move past this

polarized state of human perspective where we keep

flipping the victim-perpetrator code, and we use the savior

mentality to keep that victim-perpetrator coin flipping

to keep a mirage going. And we can get into why we

created the mirage in the first place.

But in the hospice moment, you suddenly put that coin down,

and somebody

starts dipping across the veil of the limited five senses of their

brain, and they start feeling an ecstatic moment

where they

realize, "Oh my God, the whole thing was

poetically perfect. All of the heartbreak, all of the estrangement, all

of the disappointment, all of the insecurity.

I did that for the experience, and I felt

everything. I felt everything a human can feel."

And you get to see somebody who just a moment ago really thought their life was a

failure, you know, difficult time with their kids,

never became

successful in their jobs, and they suddenly realized it had nothing

to do with any of those metrics. It had to do with the experience of

feeling

everything a human being is capable of, which is probably one of the most unique

experiences a soul can have. We are a very strange species for the

limitations of our perception, and for that, we get to feel a lot,

and that's really blessed. And so I think we're moving towards this

moment as a

species now. We've been-- we're on our hospice bed,

and we've been here 300,000

years in our current form. We've been given our hospice diagnosis.

We got a few decades left in this current form.

At that moment when we put down that victim-perpetrator polarized sense of

like,

he's right, she's wrong,

she's right, he's wrong,

we set that coin down, we're gonna suddenly have a hospice moment

where

everything suddenly makes sense, and we understand why we did the journey

together.

We realize that those that we thought were our enemies or the biggest problems

of

our lives were holding polarity to a human experience.

I was waiting for our deathbed moment because about 10% of

hospice patients don't die. They get discharged and go on to live a

new life
