Depth Requires Depth – Ideas from Dr. Kapil Gupta

Over the past 4 years, I have learned more from Dr. Kapil Gupta's work than everything else put together. I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Gupta recently and we decided to record our conversation in case it is useful for others. This is a pretty direct, candid conversation. The ideas in this video will not resonate with everyone. The only thing I can say from my own life experience is that they point to the Truth. If you choose to listen to it, I hope you do that with an open mind and a learning mindset.

This particular video requires some familiarity with Dr. Gupta's unique approach. Without that, there is a higher chance of misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

Dr. Kapil Gupta quotes from this video:

"Where there are groups, there cannot be truth."

"The original is always the original. The secondary is not the original and never will be. When you hand something over to someone, it's finished."

"The masses are the masses, and the masses will always be the masses, and you aren't gonna unmass them. And the rare are the rare."

"The belief in motivation I think is a very misguided belief. Motivational speakers for employees I think it's the most laughable garbage you can possibly think of."

"If you subscribe to society and its tenets, you'll be destroyed."

"If there tends to be within a human being by birth a natural mistrust of the norms and the status quo, that is a superpower."

"The realization is the doing. There's no doing on top of that. That just removes you from realization. That's why the ultimate power in anything is to know the truth about it. Not to have the five steps. No one understands that."

"Raw truth means that there's no trying to massage it in order to help you. Raw truth means just as it sits. There's no dilution of it."

"It's the rare one who is the one around which everything should be stated, but that'll never be done because in order to write around the rare one, you must be rare yourself."

"I think motivation is nonsense, and I think the attempt to motivate is nonsense. Internal drive makes things happen, not motivation. There must be a talent. To sell the idea of it's all hard work is garbage. It's pure garbage. There must be a talent and that talent can't just be dormant."

"The people who really discover truths and the people who really discover great things from their originality, there's always a crypticness. And the reason isn't an intent to be cryptic as some tend to believe, because they're stupid. The reason is because the thing is so deep, it cannot be reduced into words that you, at your level will understand, and therefore it's going to appear cryptic to you."

"You have to have depth to understand anything that has depth."

"If you don't have the depth, you cannot understand it according to the intent with which it was written. Because words are extremely limited in what they are able to convey. And the more true and deep and real something is, the more that words fail."
