The analytical mind does not serve us well.  Very interesting talk.

Peace and enlightenment.

The video shows as private for me, but could be a region thing.

The title sounds like something Alan Watts would say. From personal experience I find that once I stop trying to control an outcome, my abilities are less hindered so I'm more likely to get the sort of outcome I was trying to get in the first place.

This is also as I have experienced things.
