A Life Changing Way of Looking at... an Orange
About this video
Prince Ea uses an orange as a metaphor to teach that our emotional reactions come from within us, not from external circumstances. He argues that when life challenges us and negative emotions emerge—anger, hatred, or depression—it’s because those feelings were already inside us. Prince Ea suggests that to change our experience, we must look inward so that only understanding, love, and peace emerge when we’re tested.
Key takeaways
- Our emotional reactions to life’s challenges reveal what is already inside us, not what others put there
- Blaming external people or circumstances for our feelings ignores the internal source of those emotions
- To experience more peace and love when tested, we must do inner work to change what we carry within
