This Art School Drawing Trick Will Change How You Look at Everything
Episode 208
Sunday, 4 October, 2026
Send me a messageIn art school, they gave us a strange assignment. It ended up changing how I see everything, and it has very little to do with drawing.If everything we do is ultimately for happiness, why does our happiness never last? We blame people, money, luck and circumstances for our misery, but we also blame them for our joy. In both cases, we hand our peace to things that are always changing.In this episode of Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter, I share how to stop blaming others, and ourselves, in two steps: letting go of identification with the ego, and resting our attention in the stillness and silence beneath every thought. That's where lasting peace comes from, and the art school lesson at the end shows why it's been there all along.Chapters0:00 We blame things for our happiness too1:30 The blame game2:21 Why the answer isn't blaming ourselves3:10 Expecting others to make us happy3:39 The illusion of separateness4:50 Blame is a mental habit6:39 Whatever we depend on becomes our prison7:45 Two steps out of the blame addiction8:01 Step one: disidentify from the ego10:55 We are recycled atoms11:33 Happiness only exists within us13:06 Separateness vs. oneness13:34 Where our thoughts come from15:10 Step two: focus on the stillness16:18 The movie screen and the projector19:57 The art school drawing trick20:53 Peace is always there21:48 Thank youPlease enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.
