Introduction to "Deep Water"

The video introduces the chapter "Deep Water" by William Douglas. The author mentions that the classes will be held on alternate days - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The chapter is autobiographical, detailing Douglas's aversion to water that started in his childhood and how he eventually overcame his fear. The author also highlights the importance of facing your fears to overcome them.

About William Douglas

William Douglas was born in 1898 and died in 1980. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Economics and later pursued a legal career. He became an advisor and friend to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Douglas was a strong advocate for individual rights and served as a justice for 36 years, the longest tenure in the history of the court. The chapter "Deep Water" is an excerpt from his book "Men in Mountains," focusing on his near-drowning experience in a swimming pool and his subsequent journey to conquer his fear of water.

Early Experiences with Water

Douglas recounts an incident from when he was 10 or 11 years old when he decided to learn to swim at the YMCA pool in Yakima. He contrasts this with the Yakima River, which his mother warned him against due to its treacherous nature and frequent drownings. The YMCA pool was safer, with a shallow end of 2-3 feet and a deeper end of 9 feet, with a gradual slope. Douglas recalls feeling self-conscious about his skinny legs. He also remembers an earlier incident at the California beach when he was three or four years old, where a wave knocked him down and made him feel buried in the water, leading to his initial aversion to water.

The Misadventure at the YMCA Pool

Douglas describes how his introduction to the YMCA swimming pool brought back unpleasant memories and stirred up childish fears. He started with water wings, paddling and copying other boys. One day, when the pool was quiet, an 18-year-old "bruiser" of a boy tossed him into the deep end. Douglas landed in a sitting position, swallowed water, and went straight to the bottom. Though frightened, he planned to push off the bottom, come to the surface, and paddle to the edge.

Struggling in the Water

Douglas describes his struggle as he sank, feeling the nine feet were more like ninety. His lungs felt ready to collapse. He tried to jump upwards with all his strength but came up slowly, seeing only dirty yellow water. He reached for a rope but found only water and felt suffocating. He tried to yell, but no sound came out. His eyes and nose came out of the water, but his mouth didn't. He swallowed water and felt his throat choke.

The Second Attempt and Descent

Douglas started sinking again, striking at the water and expending his strength like in a nightmare. He lost his breath, his lungs ached, and his head throbbed. Despite feeling dizzy, he remembered his strategy to spring from the bottom and float to the surface. He went down endlessly, seeing only yellow, dark water. A stark terror gripped him, a terror beyond understanding or control.

The Third Attempt and Near-Death Experience

Douglas describes feeling like he was shrinking underwater, unable to scream. His heart pounding was the only indication he was alive. He remembered to jump when he hit the bottom and tried to grab the tiles. Despite his efforts, the water remained around him. He looked for ropes and ladders but found nothing but water. A mass of yellow water held him, and terror took over. He couldn't move his arms or legs and couldn't call for help. Then, strangely, there was light, and he was coming out of the awful yellow water, at least his eyes were. He started down a third time, gasped for air, and got water. All efforts ceased, his legs went limp, and blackness swept over his brain.

The Aftermath and Lingering Fear

Douglas remembers lying on his stomach beside the pool, vomiting. The boy who threw him in said he was only fooling. Douglas walked home weak and trembling, unable to eat that night. For days, fear haunted him, and any exertion upset him. He avoided the pool and water whenever possible. Years later, even when he wanted to enjoy the waters of the Cascades, the terror from the pool would return, paralyzing him and gripping his heart. This handicap stayed with him, affecting his enjoyment of activities like fishing and canoeing.

Conquering the Fear with an Instructor

Douglas decided to overcome his fear and hired an instructor. He practiced five days a week, an hour each day. The instructor used a belt and rope system, moving him back and forth across the pool. Gradually, Douglas learned to control his panic. The instructor then taught him to exhale underwater and inhale above the surface, repeating the exercise many times. Finally, he learned to kick with his legs while at the side of the pool. Piece by piece, he became a swimmer.

Testing the Waters and Final Victory

In April, the instructor declared Douglas could swim. Douglas swam the length of the pool, but he still felt terror when alone. He continued practicing, swimming up and down the pool. Though vestiges of the old terror would return, he would confront it and continue swimming. To further test himself, he swam two miles across a lake in New Hampshire. Only once did the terror return, but he dismissed it. Finally, he went to Warm Lake, dived in, and swam across and back, shouting with joy as he conquered his fear of water.

The Deeper Meaning of the Experience

Douglas reflects on the deep meaning of his experience, appreciating it as only those who have faced and conquered their fears can. He quotes Roosevelt, "All we have to fear is fear itself." Having experienced both the sensation of dying and the terror of it, he felt released and free to enjoy life without the burden of fear. The author concludes by summarising how William Douglas finally overcame his fear of water.

0:09 Welcome to Language Edda. You are all welcome to this channel. So, in this video session, we are going to cover another chapter and the name of the chapter is Deep Water which is written by William Douglas. So, every student's session will be watching me in the comment section. My voice is all about me. Am I audible and visible to everybody or not? And also, we will focus on this, that the classes will be on alternate days. That means Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So you will think that you are the same as a child. You are constant here. And with this, we will prepare the vocabulary. That's going to help you in your examination as well. Right? So let's tell everyone, my voice is coming. Shall we begin with the session? My

0:57 voice is coming. Confirm it. If you do the best, you will find the water. That's nice. Amazing. Very beautiful.

1:44 It is a stone with a stone with a stone. Wow. Amazing Sachin, that's so awesome and I think with a beautiful quote of this we should start up with a very beautiful chapter because this is the same as you have written in quotation, it's written so beautifully, this chapter is also written in which he tells himself autobiography. What is autobiography? Listen to it. Auto means self, bio means life, graphy means something which is written. autobiography में उन्होंने अपनी लिखाए कि किस तरीके से जब वो छोटे थे तो उन्हें पानी का aversion याने कि dislike create हुआ फिर दीरे दीरे वो पानी का डर बन गया और पानी के डर बनने के बाद उन्होंने कैसे उसको welcome किया क्योंकि वो काफी सारी चीजे life

2:36 can enjoy नहीं कर पा रहे थे और फिर you want to do it, you have to face it to overcome it. So let's start this chapter of the love of this chapter, starting with William Douglas only. Tell you, he was born in 1898. When was the birth of 1898? And his birth was in 1980. Now, he was born in Maine, Minnesota, After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Economics, he spent two years teaching high school in Yakima. So you will notice that when he had his graduation completed, Bachelor of Arts in English and Economics, this is his degree, you can

3:25 say. He spent two years in high school in Yakima. However, he got tired of this. He also got tired of this thing and then he thought that he went to a legal career because legal career is interesting and he also gets to learn a lot of things. He met Franklin D. Roosevelt at Yale and became an advisor and friend to the president. So now his case is Franklin D. Roosevelt from Yale and after that he becomes an advisor and his friends. Let's see what he wrote. Douglas was leading advocate of individual rights He retired in 1975 with a term lasting 36 years and remains the longest serving justice in the history of the court. In only

4:12 36 years, his job served. and after that you can consider that he remains the longest serving justice in the history of court so long, nobody served so long, if we go further, we will understand the following excerpt is taken from the Men in Mountains generally, you can see the books in many chapters, they have taken from someone's books so the book's name is Men in Mountains and Men in Mountains is a small chapter where we are studying about William Douglas, Deep Water he talked about some deep water Now, it reveals how as a young boy William Douglas nearly drowned in a swimming pool. In this essay he talks about his fear of water and thereafter how he finally overcome it. So, he tells us in this chapter how he falls in a pool and then he tells us how he has overcome

5:00 his fear of water. Notice how the autobiographical part of the section is used to support his discussion of So, they wrote the autobiography and narrated the story and you will feel like you are reading your story when you read it. So, let's see. If you have any incident or not, please tell me in the comment section. Now, look at this. It had happened when I was 10 or 11 years old. They say, hmmm, this is the time that happened, when I was 10 or 11 years old. I had decided to learn to swim. I decided that I will do swimming. There was a pool at YMCA. YMCA full form, you can ask for the exam. Young Men's Christian Association. So, they said, hmm, okay. When I was

5:46 in Yakima, there was a pool called YMCA. Young Men's Christian Association. And there was a good opportunity provided to swimming. So, I thought, that's it. This is the place where I will learn swimming. Now, look at this. The Yakima River was treacherous. Mother continually warned against it. and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. Actually, they didn't choose Yakima River and why they chose YMCA pool, they are telling you. Yakima River was actually very dangerous. It was dangerous. Mother told her to continue to go there. I don't know if there was accident. It happens sometimes.

6:31 We don't think we're scared of anything but when someone continuously says that this is the issue, that's the issue, I think that it's a fear of being scared. This is truly dangerous. So if you think that Yakima River has any doubt in William Douglas, it's just because of her mother. Because her mother has warned her twice. But in the YMCA pool, it was safe. But what happened here? What happened to Yakima River? YMCA pool was safe. Okay, now we have a description of the YMCA pool. You can ask the exam. It was only 2 or 3 feet deep at the shallow end and while it was 9 feet deep at the other. The drop was gradual. I got a pair of water wings and went to the pool. I hated to walk naked into it and

7:17 show my skinny legs. Now understand this. It's like William Douglas. Is it right? You know it's a little soft. Tell it to your wife. What can you say? Kangal. William Douglas said that I have looked at the pool. Now, how did the pool look? Just imagine that this floor is built here and this pool is built. So, the pool was made of YMCA, the pool was made of such a big, that when you go, the pool is so big and as you go inside, it will get big. So, if you look at these two or three feet, you will get big. But if you go here, it is 9 feet. It is a little slow. It is not like you are

8:04 going to go straight to 2 feet, but you will go straight to 6 feet. So William Douglas thought that I will go straight to 2 feet, then 3 feet, then 4 feet, then 5 feet, then 6 feet. I will slowly increase. So he was like that. Now they say that I chose YMCA pool but because I was a very big pool and a very smart person I was like what should I do? What should I do? They had a doubt that I should go or not So they would sideline their doubts and go but they would say that I was very scared to go because my body was a big pool So I hope this will be clear But I subdued my pride and did it Then they put their strength in some way subdued my pride means that he had a chance to get him out of his way and he went out from the beginning however I had

8:52 an aversion he said that at the beginning I had a dislike of what a aversion means that dislike of what a when I was in it this started when I was three or four years old and father took me to the beach in California he told me that from starting What was the reason behind it? So, behind the reason there was a small reason that when they were little, 3 or 4 years old, they went to California beach and there was a wave that knocked down there. It felt like they were buried in the water. So, it was written that when they were 3 or 4 years old, their father went to California beach and then they were standing there on the surf. Now, I hang on to him. He was a little bit of a father, but he

9:41 also fell down the water and swept over me. He went up and went up. I was buried in water. Now they didn't come to their breath. They were scared. They were scared. They were laughing. Why did they laugh? You can ask this. You can ask this. What are water wings? You can ask this. Why did they laugh? They were not being angry, but they were not being angry. They were not being angry, they were not being angry. They were being angry and they were being angry. So they were being angry and they were being angry. They were being angry and they were being angry and they were being angry. They were being

10:27 angry and they were being angry and they were being angry. My introduction to YMCA swimming pool revived unpleasant memories and stirred childish fear. William Douglas says that when I went to YMCA pool, my feeling was bad. I remember my childhood memories. So unpleasant means that you don't have to happy memories. So in their mind, they don't have to worry about how I was drinking water in the water. But in a little while, I gathered confidence. But just like that, they had to put him back. I paddled with my new water wings. Now they're using water wings and they're

11:14 running their legs to move their legs. Watching the other boys and trying to learn by aping them. Aping means copying them. So they're watching other kids, They are doing movements in the whole way. So they are copying the movements. I did this two or three times. On different days, I was just beginning to feel at ease in the water when I was about to. And then the misadventure happened. It means that slowly they felt comfortable with their hands. Now what was the accident? It was seen. I went to the pool when no one else was there. This was going to go in the pool, but no one was there. The place was quiet. It was very

12:01 quiet. In YMCA pool, one time it was very quiet. The water was still and the tiled bottom was as white and clean as a bathtub. The water is showing clean as a bathtub. When you see the water, the water is showing marble because it was very clean. I was timid. Timid means shy, dumb, and very little introvert. So, they were afraid that they said, I don't want to go in the water and go in the water. So, I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. They were expecting that someone came and I will go in the water. Because they came alone, they will go in the water. Now, what happens with them? I had not been there long when in came a big bruiser of a boy, probably 18 years old. He had thick hair on his chest.

12:47 Now, they say, and He was a beautiful physical specimen. Physical specimen means if you see his body personality, it was good. It was like a kushty guy who came to gym. So his body was very good. With legs and arms that showed rippling muscles. His hands were very good, his head was very good, it was very good. It was like a body shotty. So his muscles were very good. How many calves were. Now he yelled,

13:36 Hi skinny, how would you like this? to be ducked, ducked means to throw it in a place so here Big Bruce boy says he says oh, he's a big boy with a big boy tell me how will you throw it in the water? he says to William Douglas with that he picked me up he took William Douglas and he took the toss and threw the deepest end of the pool. I landed in a sitting position. William Douglas says that I was in a sitting position. Luckily, I was

14:22 sitting in a sitting position. I was sitting. I was sitting. I was sitting. I was sitting. I was sitting. I was sitting. I was swallowing water. I was running a lot of water. I went at once to the bottom. Where did I reach? The floor. frightened but not yet frightened out of my wits. Now William Douglas said, I was scared but I was so scared that I would fall out of my wits. Out of my wits means that I don't have to go down. On the way I planned, when I was coming down, I planned that as my pad touches my bottom, I would make a big job. I would go to the surface and go flat and paddle to the edge of the pool. और मैं कहाँ पैडल करके चला जाओंगा पूल के उपर, normally कोई भी इन सान

15:10 हो ऐसा ही सोचता है. How do you think? If it's in the water, it should be a jump before it. So, when you jump on the earth, you jump on the surface and you jump on the surface. So, William Douglas was making a plan. But what his plan was successful? You answer me in the comments section. Yes or no? I have got 36 marks in my COD. What is your BHU? How many of you have come out of your BHU? So, you can tell me. Okay? No. Happy class. We are learning class 12. Okay, so if you want, I can take a session on this. Can I, it seemed a long way down. I was like, it was very high water. Those 9 feet were more like 90. I was like, I was going down to 90 feet. And

15:59 before I touched bottom, my lungs were ready to collapse. So William Douglas is saying, what do I tell you to tell you about your health? I was not on the ground yet, I was like, I was going to fall down. because I couldn't buy it but when my feet hit bottom I summoned all my strength and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. But William Douglas is telling me that as I touched my bare bottom, I have put my whole strength and then I tried to take my upper hand. I tried to make a great spring up. I imagined I would bop to the surface like a cock. I felt like a bottle or rubber can get

16:48 out of the bottle. I would pop up and reach it up. Like a popcorn comes up and the rubber comes up. I would go up and go up. Instead, I came up slowly. William Douglas said that I would have come up quite fast but I was slowly coming up I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water and he opened his eyes and saw something you see what he is seeing and he said water water that had a dirty yellow taste to it water that has a little bit of a color of the misty or the dark color you understand? you mean water that has a little bit of a color on the top? If there is a little dark, then it looks like a yellow yellow. So, they are

17:35 showing them. They are going to be scared. What will happen? I reached up as if to grab a rope and my hands clutched only water. They are like, no water will get a glass. Put it in the water and come out. But they didn't get a glass. They said, what is the water? I was suffocating. They stopped their breath because if you are a swimmer, you can't survive in a long time. I tried to yell but no sound came out. They started to hear in the water. But when you are in the water, you can hear in the mouth. No sound came out. Then my eyes and nose came out of water. Then my eyes and nose came out of water. I was like to hear in the mouth, my eyes and mouth came out. But my mouth was not in the air. कोशिश उन्हों

18:25 ने करी पहले attempt में लेकिन ये बहार नहीं आपाए. I feel like the surface of the water. मैं surface तक पहुच गया था लेकिन मैं हार गया. क्यों? क्योंकि मेरा मुँपानी के बहार ही नहीं आपाया. कि मैं कुछ कर पाता. ओ, what I did. उन्होंने पानी को swallow कर दिया, उनका गला चोक हो गया, य बगवान ने उन्हें मुझे नहीं कर रहे थे मुझे लग रहा था जैसे कि बस वो मर चुके हैं और वो बस एक भार है जो मेरे उपर लटका हुआ है पारलाइज और जिट वो मुव्मेंट ही नहीं कर रहे थे मुझे लग रहा

19:17 था जैसे मुझे उनका बोज़ड हो रहा हूँ � I had started on the long journey back to the bottom of the pool. Now, I had to cover my feet again. I struck at the water as I went down, expending my strength as one in a nightmare fight and irresistible force I had lost all my breath, my lungs ached, my head throbbed, I was getting dizzy. But I remembered the strategy. What are you saying? When I went down, like the water has got me in my mouth, I fell asleep. Struck

20:06 at the water means that it fell asleep in the water. Expanding my strength, as one in a nightmare fights. You have seen that in the night you are trying to get out of your sleep but you feel that someone is hiding and you don't have your breath and you don't have your sleep. So that's how they are drinking water. They are looking for a dream and they are dying and they are trying to save you. They are taking full strength but they are not working. right now I had lost all my breath. Their breath was almost gone because the water was being in a very irresistible way. Their breath was getting hurt. Now, when we have a lot of pain, our breath is not getting hurt. Their breath is

20:53 getting hurt. Their breath was getting hurt. Now, they felt that their energy was not saved. But, their breath was in their mind. I would spring from the bottom of the pool and come like a cog to the surface. They thought that they would go down, go up the cog with rubber and go to the surface. Then I would flat lie on the water, strike out with my arms, I would go on my hands. After playing, I would go on the pool edge either by hook or group. So how bad they were in their mind, their plans were solid. I went down and down endlessly. Now William Douglas is saying, what do I say to you? I was just going down and down and

21:39 down and down. I opened my eyes. Nothing but water. Yellow glow, dark water. That one could not see through. Now he's saying, what do I do? I opened my eyes and tried to see the water. But it was showing me mid-team mix water. Which I tried to see the water. I was not showing anything because the water was dark. I couldn't see it on her. And then she stalked terror and then a very bitter fear was hit me. Terror that knows no understanding. That's a fear that doesn't understand anything. Terror that knows no control. That's a terror that no one knows नहीं कर सकता क्योंकि उसे पता ही

22:26 नहीं किसे इसे किया जाए कि इसे होता है ना हमारे साथ कि हमें बहुत जादा डर लग रहा हुता है भयंकर और हमें यह भी नहीं पता हुता कि हमें डर लग रहा है तो क्यों लग रहा है है ना तो कह रहा है आई वस श्रीकिंग अंडर वॉर But he was unable to. Even the screams in my throat were frozen. Only my

23:12 heart and the pounding in my head Instead that I was still alive. But there was a thing that realized that no William you are still alive. What was the thing? It was the pain of his heart. Okay? It was the pain of his heart. And it was the pain of his heart. So if it was pounding and it was not the pain of his heart, it would not be the pain of his heart. And then in the midst of the terror came a touch of reason. I must remember to jump when I hit the bottom. At last I fell. The tiles under me. My toes reached out as if to grab them. I jumped with everything I had. But now, look, this

23:58 is a shame. It's a thought that I have to touch the water inside the earth. But as they went down the water, they tried to touch the bottom. Okay? They tried to touch the bottom. But nothing happened. My toes reached out. As if to grab them, I jumped with everything I had. They tried to jump up, but this jump didn't get any benefit. The water was still around me. What was the water now? I looked for robes, ladders, water wings. They are looking for rust, trees, they are looking for water wings. I know I am saving my nothing but water. But they don't get anything except for water. A mass of yellow water

24:47 held me. Pani, Pani, Pani, Pani, Mitti wala Pani, wo unke upar hi tha. Stock terror took an even deeper hold on me. Ab dar unka, or zada unke upar haavi honne laga. Like a great charge of electricity. Like a big blow. It was like a big blow. It was like a big blow. It was like a big blow. It was like a big blow. I shook and trembled with fright. I was scared of the whole door. My arms didn't move. My hands didn't move. My legs didn't move. My legs didn't move. I tried to call for help. To call for mother. Nothing happened. I called my mom. I called my help. I called my mother. I called my mother. I called my help. I called my mother. But no one came. And then strangely there was

25:33 light. And then there was light. I was coming out of the awful yellow water. I was coming out of the water. At least my eyes were. My nose was almost out to my nose. Then I started down a third time. Now it was going to go back into the water. I stucked for air and got water. They didn't want water but they didn't want water. The yellowish light was going out. Then all efforts ceased. And then they were all finished. Now they were not able to work. They were relaxed. Their legs were limp. They were not able to do

26:23 movement. And a blackness swept over my brain. And their eyes and eyes were very good. It wiped out fear, because of that their fear also went away It wiped out terror, because of that their fear and tension either they were panicked or they were scared, it was quiet and pleasant, nothing to be afraid of, they were saying, nothing, I didn't need anything to do because I didn't feel anything, this was nice, it was good, I was like, it's nice to be carried gently. I was like to float along in space. I was like, tender arms around me. I was like, I have to take my hands on my

27:12 hands. I felt like a It was a good feeling. We have a mother who lives in our hands and in our hands. Tender arms like mothers. It was like a mother's hands. Now I must go to sleep. Now I have to sleep. My mother has to sleep. Across to oblivion. Oblivion is a stage of unconsciousness. This is a stage of unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is a stage of unconsciousness. Unconsciousness is a stage of unconsciousness. It is a little aware of that. It was also a sudden. And the curtains of life fell. And when you know that drama is finished so the pardes are falling down and they were falling down so they thought that's it bye bye I'm going to go the next I remember I was lying on my stomach beside the pool now he's saying that the next one who remembers me I don't know if I'm dead or not I don't know but

28:00 the next one who remembers me was I was alive I was taken in the pool and I was vomiting on vomit on vomit on vomit on vomit on vomit on vomit the chap that threw me in was saying but I was only fooling now that girl who was throwing it in the water, he was listening to his voice. He was saying, but I was just joking. Now, someone said, the kid nearly died. This child was going to die. Be all right now. Now, this is okay. Let's carry him to the locker room. Let's take him to the locker room. Several hours later, a few hours later, I walked home, his house went out. I was weak and trembling. He was very weak and scared. I shook and cried. He was very weak and was very loud. He was

28:45 laid on his bed. When he was laid on his bed, he was still crying. I couldn't eat that night. I couldn't eat anything at night. For days I was wanting. Fear was in my heart. I don't know how many days they would have been in their hearts. The slightest exertion upset me. If something was hit like they would have hit them, they would have thought that they would have died. Making me wobbly in the knees. If they had a little bit of a bit, they started to get their blood. I am sick to my stomach. They are going to vomit and they have to go to the washroom. I never back to the pool again. This is never the pool again. I feared water, I avoided it whenever I could. Now they scared them from water and they avoided it whenever they could. A

29:34 few years later, when I came to know the waters of the cascades, I wanted to get into them. Now they thought they were not they have to go into the water. Okay? And whenever I did, whether I was wading the titan or bumping river or bathing in the warm lake of the goat rocks, the terror that had seized me in the pool would come back. And whenever they went, for boating, swimming, whatever they enjoyed, they would come back to their door and they would say, no, you cannot go there. Okay? No, I will kill you. It would take possession of me completely. It was like, My legs would become

30:21 paralyzed. I see horror would grab my heart. This handicap stayed with me as the years rolled by. In kinoes, on main lakes, fishing for landlocked salmon, bass fishing in New Hampshire, crowd fishing on the deshoots and metellus. In Oregon, fishing for salmon, So what are you telling them? They were fishing, they were fishing, they were

31:08 fishing, and they were all the trucks. Why? because their fear didn't enjoy their activities so they wrote all that they went and they created a kind of harm in their enjoyment now I used everyday I knew to overcome this fear but it helped me firmly in its grip in their mind it was that I have to overcome this fear as I am going outside He was not able to get out of that fear. I went to a pool and practice 5 days a week and an hour each day the instructor put a belt around me. So now you will learn this. This is a

31:54 very important line. They tried to overcome the water, but they couldn't overcome it. So they decided on October that they will hire an instructor and he will teach them what will they do. So they went to a pool where they practiced 5 days. So on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, May, and Sunday, we will practice Monday to Friday. Every day, the instructor put a belt around me. Now, for learning, the instructor put his belt on his belt. And on that belt, there was a rope attached to the belt. It went through a pulley. The belt that I attached, suppose this is William Douglas, and this is his belt. There was rope attached to the belt. And this rope that was attached to the belt.

32:43 and as you can see this pulley, he held on to the end of the rope and we went back and forth, back and forth across the pool. Which rope had the other end? The instructor had the other end. Now, with this help, he went back and forth, back and forth, he was just moving forward. So, the first step that they learned from the swimming pool, he was moving forward. Fine, now. Now you will see, day after day, week after week, they learned to go back. On each trip across the pool, a bit of the panic seized me. When they trip across the pool, they would be scared back. Then they would be scared back. Each time the instructor relaxed his hold, on the rope and I went

33:32 under. He tried to try to figure out how to do it. He has shown a big role play here. He kept the rest of the water and went out. The second process he taught is to inhale and exhale. I went under, sub of the old tenor returned and my legs froze. In the inhale and exhale process, he tried to go into the water but he also It was 3 months before the tension began to slack. Then he taught me to put my face under the water and exhale to raise my nose and inhale. After 3 months,

34:18 they just asked how to stop the water and exhale. I repeated the exercise 100 times and they did 100 times. Bit by bit I shed part of the panic that seized me when my head went underwater. Then slowly they overcome this part. Slowly slowly they came out and they were getting out of panic. When the panic was in the mood, they felt that he was gone. He will not be able to survive anymore. Next he held me at the side of the pool and had me kicked with my legs. After that, What did William Douglas teach the third step? He took him to the pool and said, let's go, let's go. For weeks, I did just that. He did this for weeks. At first, my

35:04 leg refused to work. Tellin's pair didn't work in the water. But they gradually relaxed. He started to relax slowly. And finally, I could command them. He started to command them to move forward, move forward. Thus, piece by piece, he said, I made a swimmer slowly. and when he had perfected each piece and when he had learned each step with perfection he put them together into an integrated hole and then go together and go together, the first process is back forth, the second inhale exhale and the third is the leg movement when he had joined and then go together and then go together and in the April he said now you can swim now his instructor said in April, he started in October and he said in April You have to swim in the pool. Dive off and swim the length of

35:52 the pool. Crawl stroke, I did. Now you can swim. They swim in the pool and swim the length of the pool. Crawl stroke, I did. The instructor was finished. The instructor was finished. But my job is not. if I would be terror-stricken when I was alone in the pool. They were surprised that if I was alone in the pool, I would be scared. I tried it and tried it. They swam the length up and down. They did swimming in the pool. Tiny vestiges of the old terror would return. But small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small, small small small small small small small small small small small small small small small

36:41 small, small, small, small, small, small, small who were the past images, they were holding them back. They were scared every time. But now I could frown and say to the turd trying to scare me. Well, here to you, look and off I'd go for another length of the pool. But the fear that they had come to come to the pool, now they would say a lot of anger. Okay, so now you will try to get scared. I was

37:40 Wentworth in New Hampshire. Hampshire in Wentworth, he dived off a dock at Triggs Island and swam two miles across the lake to Stamped Act Island. So, he covered two islands' distance, which is a lot of different, that it is two miles. So, you can see, Triggs Island, they had a full assumption that his fear would go away. I swam the crawl. Breast stroke, side stroke, back stroke. Whatever the way they did swimming, whatever the steps were. They did crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl. Everything they did. And only once did

38:27 the terror return. They said, once it happened, I was scared. When I was in the middle of the lake, or when the lake was under the beach, I put my face under water. They put their mouth in their water. and so nothing but bottomless water. The old sensation returned in miniature. I laughed and said, he is always stressed. So, well, Mr. Ter, what do you think you can do to me? It fled and I swam upon. So, when they had a problem with the fear, the fear fell. Yet I handled the dual doubts. Lekin, then me, I had a little doubts. At my first opportunity, I hurried west. Went up to the Titan, to Cornet Meadows, up the Cornet Creek Trail, to meet Glacier,

39:16 and camped in the high meadow, by the side of Warm Lake. Toh, then they went to Warm Lake. The next morning, I stripped, dived into the lake, and swam across to the other shore and back, just as Dog Corpon used to do. So, I tell you about a very good swimmer, I have done a lot of swimming in Wormlick. Now, I shouted with joy and Gilbert Peek returned the Eko. He said, I was very loud. and my voice echoed. I had conquered my fear of water. Yay! I had won! I had blown away my fear. Now, the fear of water was not in my water. The experience had a deep meaning for me. Now, the whole experience of water was

40:05 a very difficult experience. As only those who have known, stucked and conquered it can appreciate. As Roosevelt knew when he said, Because Roosevelt knows this when he said this All we have to fear is fear

40:51 itself. What is fear? Fear is fear and nothing. Because I had experienced both the sensation of dying and the terror that fear of it can produce. He says I felt very weak. One is the feeling that comes to death and the fear that comes to death will produce. The will to live somehow grew in intensity. But remember that if you want to live in your life, then you can't lose all your fear. At least I felt released. At least I was relaxed. Free to walk the trails and climb the peaks. And to brush aside fear. Now it was free to walk on

41:39 trails, climb, and get the fun of the water. Right? So, How finally William Douglas came out of his

42:27 fear. Finally, William Douglas came out of water. So, you know, he had instructed him to hire. This is the question which you people have to answer in the comment section to me.
