of staying backstage and just doing my 130 00:06:58,610 --> 00:06:54,810 thing I actually went out and sat with 131 00:07:02,570 --> 00:06:58,620 the audience and and and joined you 132 00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:02,580 right and I went through your enthusiasm 133 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:04,230 is one thing and the way that you 134 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:08,010 interact with the audience is great but 135 00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:11,610 what blew my mind was sitting and 136 00:07:19,340 --> 00:07:16,110 watching your presentation of the sites 137 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:19,350 and the research and the

Gregg is a doer there's two kinds 141 00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:30,660 of people in this world right there's 142 00:07:36,260 --> 00:07:33,510 those that talk and those that actually 143 00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:36,270 go out and do these things and they're 144 00:07:40,340 --> 00:07:39,960 fascinated with it what came first for 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:40,350 you 146 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:42,450 was it the spiritual side of things or 147 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:46,080 was it chasing the science mmm well 148 00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:48,210 first thank you.thank I remember that 149 00:07:51,590 --> 00:07:49,710 introduction I know precisely what 150 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:51,600 conference that was for and I did not 151 00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:53,610 know that you were in my audience so so 152 00:07:57,740 --> 00:07:54,660 thank you for being part of that 153 00:07:59,780 --> 00:07:57,750 audience you know this is probably the 154 00:08:01,400 --> 00:07:59,790 hardest thing for a scientist to talk 155 00:08:02,870 --> 00:08:01,410 about as their own lives it's easier to 156 00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:02,880 talk about the discoveries and the 157 00:08:08,690 --> 00:08:06,060 research so because this is our first 158 00:08:11,780 --> 00:08:08,700 time and we're on your couch in in your 159 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:11,790 living room I'll just share with you I I 160 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:15,530 come from a a very dysfunctional family 161 00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:18,720 abusive alcoholic family I was born and 162 00:08:23,180 --> 00:08:20,820 raised in a rural area of northern 163 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,190 Missouri in this Midwest of this big 164 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:25,680 beautiful country of ours and at an 165 00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:28,170 early age I mean I was looking for 166 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:33,300 refuge from my my conditions and I found 167 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:35,850 refuge refuge in two places 168 00:08:42,050 --> 00:08:38,130 this is in the 1960s so it was obviously 169 00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:42,060 in the music at the time and in the 170 00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:44,400 science of the time the 60s it was I 171 00:08:48,830 --> 00:08:46,470 really happened in time and you know in 172 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:48,840 terms of science we had manned space 173 00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:50,970 missions that were happening and and 174 00:08:56,690 --> 00:08:53,910 satellites and you know science was 175 00:08:59,000 --> 00:08:56,700 really honored and really respected you 176 00:09:01,520 --> 00:08:59,010 know that in a way that you don't see so 177 00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:01,530 much today at least in mainstream so 178 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:06,030 those two areas of interest quickly 179 00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:11,610 became my sources of refuge and I I left 180 00:09:16,250 --> 00:09:14,460 home at the age of 14 I was a musician I 181 00:09:18,140 --> 00:09:16,260 started playing guitar at 8 left home at 182 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:18,150 14 moved in with a rock-and-roll band 183 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:20,510 everybody was in their 20s and 30s and 184 00:09:26,450 --> 00:09:24,080 and I went to my first rock concert 185 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:26,460 during that time and it was Jefferson 186 00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:30,570 Airplane man for our listeners he might 187 00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:31,830 listen I'll tell you exactly where it 188 00:09:34,820 --> 00:09:33,720 was it was Memorial Hall in Kansas City 189 00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:34,830 Kansas Wow 190 00:09:40,510 --> 00:09:37,830 and I saw this band move the souls of 191 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:40,520 30,000 people in that relatively small 192 00:09:46,910 --> 00:09:44,190 arena and and that was important to me 193 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:46,920 and not long after that I had the 194 00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:49,770 opportunity to go to the Royals Stadium 195 00:09:54,290 --> 00:09:51,830 Kansas City Royals Stadium at that time 196 00:09:57,620 --> 00:09:54,300 well as Kansas the Athletics at that 197 00:09:59,840 --> 00:09:57,630 time and I saw a man speak he wasn't 198 00:10:02,450 --> 00:09:59,850 with a band he just spoke his name is 199 00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:02,460 Billy Graham and it wasn't so much about 200 00:10:09,950 --> 00:10:06,030 his message for me but what I saw was he 201 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:09,960 moved the souls of 70,000 people and the 202 00:10:14,390 --> 00:10:11,970 difference between that concert and 203 00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:14,400 where I saw at Billy Graham was this at 204 00:10:18,650 --> 00:10:15,990 the end of the concert people left and 205 00:10:21,710 --> 00:10:18,660 everybody was good but they they needed 206 00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:21,720 something more to give them the feeling 207 00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:23,700 that they had during the concert they 208 00:10:26,570 --> 00:10:25,110 need to go out and buy the album you 209 00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:26,580 know at that time there was 8-track 210 00:10:32,180 --> 00:10:29,940 tapes and and and they needed that when 211 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:32,190 I left that Billy Graham show those 212 00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:34,530 people didn't need anything because the 213 00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:37,140 words that he had spoken changed 214 00:10:41,540 --> 00:10:39,540 something inside of them and they began 215 00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:41,550 to look at themselves in their world 216 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:45,630 differently and I knew at that moment I 217 00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:47,370 said I wasn't sure what I would do but I 218 00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:49,740 think we get one shot yeah 219 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:51,630 contributing to this world to make it a 220 00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:54,090 better place and I knew that I would 221 00:10:58,370 --> 00:10:55,560 need to do it through through music or 222 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:58,380 through science and I knew that words 223 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:00,480 would become a very powerful part of 224 00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:03,120 that so that is a little a little 225 00:11:08,030 --> 00:11:04,980 background and I became a scientist I'm 226 00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:08,040 a degree geologist with strong 227 00:11:13,370 --> 00:11:09,780 background in geophysics molecular 228 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:13,380 biology life sciences computer science 229 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:16,410 and and those Sciences Jimmy have given 230 00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:18,330 me the opportunity to stay abreast with 231 00:11:23,210 --> 00:11:20,790 the new discoveries that are published 232 00:11:26,090 --> 00:11:23,220 in these really obscure journals and 233 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:26,100 very few people get to see in pretty 234 00:11:31,250 --> 00:11:28,800 technical language but to stay abreast 235 00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:31,260 with the discoveries that have the 236 00:11:36,410 --> 00:11:34,620 potential to change our lives to make 237 00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:36,420 this world such a better place and to 238 00:11:40,790 --> 00:11:38,340 help us to become the best version of 239 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:40,800 ourselves on the one hand and on the 240 00:11:46,730 --> 00:11:43,290 other hand early in my life as as you 241 00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:46,740 mentioned I was drawn there's a whole 242 00:11:51,980 --> 00:11:48,120 story about how it happened but I was 243 00:11:55,730 --> 00:11:51,990 drawn to leave America and began a 244 00:11:57,830 --> 00:11:55,740 search that started in Egypt 1986 that 245 00:11:59,570 --> 00:11:57,840 led me into Peru and 89 during a 246 00:12:02,240 --> 00:11:59,580 revolution I was part of a revolution 247 00:12:06,620 --> 00:12:02,250 down there that eventually led me into 248 00:12:08,150 --> 00:12:06,630 Tibet and Nepal and India India and all 249 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:08,160 through the American desert Southwest 250 00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:10,680 and Australia and what I began to 251 00:12:15,380 --> 00:12:12,870 understand him is that those who have 252 00:12:17,510 --> 00:12:15,390 come before us I've been here a long 253 00:12:20,210 --> 00:12:17,520 time were 5,000 years of recorded human 254 00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:20,220 history they didn't know science but 255 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:21,510 they understood us in our relationship 256 00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:25,530 to the world and what I began to find is 257 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:28,670 that ultimately what we call 258 00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:31,890 spirituality is just that it's it's I'm 259 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:32,820 going to make a distinction between 260 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:35,760 religion and spirituality spirituality 261 00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:37,890 is the understanding of the human 262 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:40,230 relationship that we have with ourselves 263 00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:42,810 with our own bodies with other people 264 00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:45,420 with the earth with our past and with 265 00:12:50,330 --> 00:12:48,300 our future the religions came along 266 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:50,340 later and wrapped the rules in the dogma 267 00:12:55,010 --> 00:12:52,410 around those very very basic 268 00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:55,020 understandings right so so I decided to 269 00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:56,430 cut through the religion forget the 270 00:12:59,810 --> 00:12:58,020 religion go right to the core what did 271 00:13:02,450 --> 00:12:59,820 these people know that we've either 272 00:13:03,860 --> 00:13:02,460 forgotten or what did they know that 273 00:13:06,350 --> 00:13:03,870 our own science is only beginning to 274 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:06,360 understand and what I found is that the 275 00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:08,610 language of science is the contemporary 276 00:13:14,450 --> 00:13:12,420 language for the mystical that was 277 00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:14,460 described in so many of these and still 278 00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:16,500 is in some of these ancient indigenous 279 00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:20,550 traditions am I feeling my one shot in 280 00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:22,740 my lifetime to contribute make this 281 00:13:26,810 --> 00:13:25,320 world a better place and and for me to 282 00:13:29,570 --> 00:13:26,820 become the best person I can be 283 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:29,580 is to cross those traditional boundaries 284 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:32,850 that have separated science the the 285 00:13:37,010 --> 00:13:34,410 sciences you know geology and chemistry 286 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:37,020 and biology and physics we put them in 287 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:38,490 boxes but nature doesn't know anything 288 00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:40,050 about those boxes that's not the way the 289 00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:43,350 world works and the sciences that have 290 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:46,590 largely discounted the wisdom of our 291 00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:49,050 ancestors to cross the traditional 292 00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:51,240 boundaries and marry these two great 293 00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:55,440 ways of knowing into a form of wisdom 294 00:14:00,320 --> 00:13:57,870 that gives us the evolutionary edge so 295 00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:00,330 that we succeed in this great transition 296 00:14:06,140 --> 00:14:02,160 that's sweeping the earth right now 297 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:06,150 where past cycles of civilization appear 298 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:08,160 to have failed so I know there's a lot 299 00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:09,690 in there we can unpack that as we go 300 00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:12,960 through the evening but but for me it 301 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,160 was less of a quantum leap it wasn't 302 00:14:23,690 --> 00:14:20,160 like a big AHA it was more of a logical 303 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,700 progression as I began to follow and the 304 00:14:28,130 --> 00:14:25,920 science and I understood what the 305 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:28,140 science was saying at the same time I 306 00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:31,050 was studying and experiencing these 307 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:33,270 ancient indigenous traditions and I said 308 00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:34,800 you know they're saying the same thing 309 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:37,590 in a very different language and they're 310 00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:39,210 talking about things that we're only 311 00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:40,950 beginning to understand in the 20th 312 00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:43,080 century how did they know this stuff and 313 00:14:48,740 --> 00:14:45,000 what is it that we can learn from them 314 00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:48,750 today well each book I got tell you Jim 315 00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:50,190 it's funny I was doing a radio program 316 00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:52,830 not long ago it's what I call one of the 317 00:14:57,500 --> 00:14:54,750 hostile interviews you know we get those 318 00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:57,510 every once in a while right and and the 319 00:15:01,100 --> 00:14:58,770 interviewer came out and there were he 320 00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:01,110 didn't read a bio or any kind of a 321 00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:02,520 greeting or welcome you know it wasn't 322 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:04,080 like hi Greg welcome to the program 323 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:06,090 first thing he said to me when he came 324 00:15:11,150 --> 00:15:08,730 on he said he said Braden why can't you 325 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:11,160 stick with one topic like everybody else 326 00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:13,170 he said man you are all over the map he 327 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:15,480 said you talking about genetics or the 328 00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,170 magnetic 329 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:18,000 of the earth or cycles of time or 330 00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:20,250 ancient civilization he said he said for 331 00:15:24,350 --> 00:15:22,710 God's sake just stick with one topic and 332 00:15:26,780 --> 00:15:24,360 I you know I was taking a little back I 333 00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:26,790 wasn't prepared for that and I I thought 334 00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:29,340 about and I said you know I do cover a 335 00:15:33,260 --> 00:15:30,750 lot of topics I said that if you look 336 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:33,270 closely every book I've ever written and 337 00:15:40,130 --> 00:15:36,450 each topic that you've just mentioned 338 00:15:42,110 --> 00:15:40,140 they represent one facet of the human 339 00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:42,120 experience of our experience in this 340 00:15:46,940 --> 00:15:44,910 lifetime so in a very real sense I have 341 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:46,950 stayed with one topic it just happens to 342 00:15:50,660 --> 00:15:49,410 be a big topic and he said okay let's go 343 00:15:51,070 --> 00:15:50,670 the station break and I never heard from 344 00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:51,080 him again 345 00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:53,940 [Laughter] 346 00:16:02,260 --> 00:15:57,710 so if you look at the hit the breadth of 347 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:02,270 the work that I've offered to date and 348 00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:04,530 I'm not finished there's a lot more 349 00:16:11,410 --> 00:16:07,140 coming that's precisely what I've done 350 00:16:14,450 --> 00:16:11,420 and I've explored one facet of our 351 00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:14,460 experience in depth in each of those 352 00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:17,520 books and those are the books that that 353 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:18,900 you mentioned at the beginning of the 354 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:21,450 program that are out there now I wanted 355 00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:23,610 to ask you about when you when you're 356 00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:26,190 going through the education side of 357 00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:29,190 things and you're dealing with the 358 00:16:35,540 --> 00:16:31,440 possibility of professors and 359 00:16:38,510 --> 00:16:35,550 instructors that are closed-minded as 360 00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:38,520 especially to things that are outside of 361 00:16:43,540 --> 00:16:40,200 the box they want to stick to the rules 362 00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:43,550 which is fine but was there a moment 363 00:16:49,670 --> 00:16:47,070 where you were you know looking at both 364 00:16:51,710 --> 00:16:49,680 sides of the the coin here where you 365 00:16:54,650 --> 00:16:51,720 went okay hold on wait a minute 366 00:16:57,050 --> 00:16:54,660 this needs to stop I don't really trust 367 00:17:00,770 --> 00:16:57,060 what I'm being taught here there's 368 00:17:03,710 --> 00:17:00,780 something else going on absolutely and 369 00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:03,720 you know what you're describing not only 370 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:05,130 has happened to me it's half of the many 371 00:17:08,689 --> 00:17:06,720 of my friends and colleagues dr. bruce 372 00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:08,699 lipton evolutionary biologist was 373 00:17:13,850 --> 00:17:12,060 writing medical students and and he was 374 00:17:16,310 --> 00:17:13,860 not allowed to share with his students 375 00:17:18,189 --> 00:17:16,320 the results of the experiments and the 376 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:18,199 research that he was required to perform 377 00:17:23,290 --> 00:17:19,970 Joe Dispenza 378 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:23,300 healthcare practitioner chiropractor 379 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:26,130 began to understand that the human body 380 00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:27,510 there's so much more to the human body 381 00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:30,030 then he'd been led to 382 00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:32,130 believe and and the three of us are 383 00:17:37,010 --> 00:17:34,320 friends and colleagues we work together 384 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:37,020 frequently now but independently before 385 00:17:41,230 --> 00:17:38,970 we knew one another we all made the same 386 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:41,240 choice to leave our respective 387 00:17:45,650 --> 00:17:44,250 professions we could have stayed I could 388 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:45,660 have stayed in the corporations as 389 00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:47,850 scientist I had a very good career my my 390 00:17:51,740 --> 00:17:49,710 last career is with Cisco Systems I was 391 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:51,750 a first tech office manager in Palo Alto 392 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:52,650 California 393 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,810 Bruce was teaching at Stanford you know 394 00:17:59,930 --> 00:17:57,120 Joe had his own practice we could have 395 00:18:02,720 --> 00:17:59,940 stayed in those careers written white 396 00:18:06,260 --> 00:18:02,730 papers about our discoveries that would 397 00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:06,270 be buried in academia we all made the 398 00:18:09,230 --> 00:18:07,830 choice and others have as well these I'm 399 00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:09,240 just giving three examples not I'm 400 00:18:14,900 --> 00:18:11,430 looking for those men I'm just sharing 401 00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:14,910 that we've had common experiences each 402 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:16,710 of us in our own way made the choice to 403 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:19,410 leave those respective professions to 404 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:21,840 take the discoveries peer-reviewed 405 00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:24,330 science these aren't our hypotheses 406 00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:26,280 necessarily or our theories this is rock 407 00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:28,830 solid science that simply is not being 408 00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:31,260 shared in the mainstream classrooms 409 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:33,150 textbooks it's not being shared even in 410 00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:36,210 mainstream documentaries and take this 411 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:39,350 information directly to the people 412 00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:41,250 because that's how you bring about 413 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:45,060 change and to be honest the the speed of 414 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:47,010 the change that we're seeing in the 415 00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:48,720 world today we really don't have the 416 00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:51,480 time to take a peer-reviewed paper and 417 00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:53,700 run it through six or eight years of a 418 00:18:57,860 --> 00:18:55,110 peer-reviewed cycle and have it 419 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:57,870 published in some obscure journal so you 420 00:19:00,890 --> 00:18:59,280 know we can still do that and you know 421 00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:00,900 we write and we contribute where we can 422 00:19:07,730 --> 00:19:05,670 but I did recognize pretty early on that 423 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:07,740 what we're being taught in mainstream 424 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:13,110 science is a subset of a much deeper a 425 00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:17,970 much more all-embracing science that has 426 00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:20,640 the potential to free humankind from the 427 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:22,500 bonds and the shackles of the suffering 428 00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:25,050 that had been the hallmark for 5,000 429 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:27,600 years of human history including war I 430 00:19:32,990 --> 00:19:31,290 believe that we have the ability to to 431 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:33,000 raise the standard of living for people 432 00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:35,930 in the world that in a way that makes 433 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:39,510 scarcity of resources obsolete because 434 00:19:43,730 --> 00:19:42,810 of the abundance of the resources 435 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:43,740 available to us 436 00:19:48,049 --> 00:19:44,970 when it comes to these advanced 437 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:48,059 technologies we see evidence of it in 438 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:50,640 ancient traditions and the new sciences 439 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:53,370 is leading us to these understandings in 440 00:19:57,830 --> 00:19:56,250 the world around us Jimmy but where I'm 441 00:20:00,919 --> 00:19:57,840 really focused right now is the world 442 00:20:03,470 --> 00:20:00,929 within us because what I've also come to 443 00:20:06,410 --> 00:20:03,480 understand is the more we know the 444 00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:06,420 better we understand ourselves the less 445 00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:09,150 we fear one another unless we fear 446 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:12,360 change in the world and the human body 447 00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:15,690 our origin our potential the 448 00:20:20,090 --> 00:20:18,510 extraordinary capacities that we have 449 00:20:23,150 --> 00:20:20,100 are simply not shared in the mainstream 450 00:20:25,549 --> 00:20:23,160 and these are the things that I'm really 451 00:20:27,650 --> 00:20:25,559 passionate about talking about right now 452 00:20:30,410 --> 00:20:27,660 for reasons that I know that we'll get 453 00:20:32,750 --> 00:20:30,420 into technology is actually infringing 454 00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:32,760 upon our very humanists right now we're 455 00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:35,160 on the verge of giving our humaneness 456 00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:36,900 away before we even know what it means 457 00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:39,540 to be fully human so when we when we 458 00:20:42,410 --> 00:20:40,140 marry 459 00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:42,420 all of these things together we're on 460 00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:48,150 this the the horizon of this just the 461 00:20:54,230 --> 00:20:51,840 threshold of the unleashing of powerful 462 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:54,240 internal and external technology that 463 00:20:58,220 --> 00:20:56,730 changes everything when it comes to the 464 00:21:01,460 --> 00:20:58,230 way we think of ourselves and the way we 465 00:21:03,410 --> 00:21:01,470 solve our problems do you find that the 466 00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:03,420 way that science and I'm talking about 467 00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:06,110 physics and quantum physics and and 468 00:21:14,540 --> 00:21:10,860 cosmology biology science is moving at 469 00:21:19,010 --> 00:21:14,550 such a rapid clip right now and it is 470 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:19,020 forcing them into areas of consciousness 471 00:21:23,870 --> 00:21:21,450 and spirituality that they're not going 472 00:21:26,450 --> 00:21:23,880 to be able to avoid that they are 473 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:26,460 they're going to continue to overlap and 474 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,130 we will have those answers about what 475 00:21:33,890 --> 00:21:30,960 makes us us and the soul and 476 00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:33,900 consciousness two things are happening 477 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:36,360 simultaneously on the one hand science 478 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:39,330 largely has been hijacked in the modern 479 00:21:45,530 --> 00:21:43,050 world in the Western world by competing 480 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:45,540 interests so corporate interests have 481 00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:49,370 hijacked science to cherry-pick data and 482 00:21:54,409 --> 00:21:52,350 use that cherry-pick science to support 483 00:21:56,150 --> 00:21:54,419 corporate goals the same thing has 484 00:21:57,230 --> 00:21:56,160 happened with politics the same thing 485 00:21:58,850 --> 00:21:57,240 has happened with religion 486 00:22:02,420 --> 00:21:58,860 and same thing has happened with 487 00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:02,430 academia so science can only serve us 488 00:22:08,540 --> 00:22:04,950 Jimmy if we keep it honest and science 489 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:08,550 is designed to be constantly updated as 490 00:22:13,610 --> 00:22:11,370 new discoveries come to light and what 491 00:22:15,890 --> 00:22:13,620 we find right now is we're living in a 492 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:15,900 world where the academics want static 493 00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:18,450 science there's a story there's a battle 494 00:22:22,430 --> 00:22:21,030 there's a battle unfolding in our world 495 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:22,440 that's happening is playing out before 496 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:25,290 your eyes and my eyes and in the eyes of 497 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:26,880 the Western world there's a battle 498 00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:29,250 playing out to maintain what's called 499 00:22:35,510 --> 00:22:32,190 the standard model and that is the story 500 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:35,520 of how the universe began and how humans 501 00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:39,330 began in what our potential is really 502 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:41,790 all about and there is an old way of 503 00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:44,010 thinking that's a very limiting way of 504 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:47,370 thinking and that limited thinking is a 505 00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:49,710 static model the new discoveries that 506 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:51,840 you're talking about are upsetting that 507 00:22:56,210 --> 00:22:54,450 model so we've asked science to tell us 508 00:22:59,090 --> 00:22:56,220 who we are and science is giving us 509 00:23:01,400 --> 00:22:59,100 answers and many scientists don't like 510 00:23:03,110 --> 00:23:01,410 the answers and so one of the places 511 00:23:07,910 --> 00:23:03,120 that I'm really seeing this is it when 512 00:23:09,740 --> 00:23:07,920 it comes to to evolution and where the 513 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:09,750 conversation gets really sticky my 514 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:12,960 friends who are college professors well 515 00:23:19,610 --> 00:23:14,730 they're my friends until we have this 516 00:23:22,190 --> 00:23:19,620 conversation because because the new 517 00:23:24,290 --> 00:23:22,200 discoveries are overturning a hundred 518 00:23:27,410 --> 00:23:24,300 and fifty years of thinking when it 519 00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:27,420 comes to us where we came from how we 520 00:23:31,430 --> 00:23:30,240 originated what our potential is and I 521 00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:31,440 know we'll get into this as we go 522 00:23:34,550 --> 00:23:32,940 through our evening but the new 523 00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:34,560 discoveries this is the point the new 524 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:37,320 discoveries no longer support the old 525 00:23:42,140 --> 00:23:40,650 story so I asked my my colleagues you 526 00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:42,150 know my professor friends I said why 527 00:23:47,810 --> 00:23:44,940 can't you share these new discoveries 528 00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:47,820 with with your students and they tell me 529 00:23:53,420 --> 00:23:50,550 three things first they say great if if 530 00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:53,430 I share the new discoveries they say it 531 00:23:58,820 --> 00:23:56,760 will invalidate my 40-year career of 532 00:24:01,640 --> 00:23:58,830 what I've been teaching my students and 533 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:01,650 I said no no no I said science is 534 00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:04,530 designed to be updated it would show 535 00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:06,840 your students how relevant science 536 00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:09,510 continues to be in their lives and then 537 00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:10,950 he said well he says think 538 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:13,529 how much money that would cost you know 539 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:15,179 to change all the textbooks and I said 540 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:17,369 man you're a dinosaur your your students 541 00:24:21,529 --> 00:24:19,440 there they're learning online I said you 542 00:24:23,269 --> 00:24:21,539 change it on the server him and it's 543 00:24:24,919 --> 00:24:23,279 changed everywhere and he said well I'd 544 00:24:26,629 --> 00:24:24,929 have to change all my class notes he 545 00:24:28,609 --> 00:24:26,639 said I've got 40 years of class notes 546 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:28,619 and and I'd have to change all this and 547 00:24:32,419 --> 00:24:30,090 I said that's what they're paying you 548 00:24:34,489 --> 00:24:32,429 for you know and so here here's what I'm 549 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:34,499 hearing my professor friends are saying 550 00:24:42,499 --> 00:24:39,570 the new science is so revolutionary I'm 551 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:42,509 gonna let the new professors the new 552 00:24:46,639 --> 00:24:44,369 guard I'm gonna leave it to them to 553 00:24:48,049 --> 00:24:46,649 figure out how to teach this I'm going 554 00:24:50,419 --> 00:24:48,059 to stick with the old story until I 555 00:24:53,509 --> 00:24:50,429 retire in a couple of years I'm not even 556 00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:53,519 going to tackle this this revolution 557 00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:55,049 that the new science is bringing on will 558 00:24:59,180 --> 00:24:56,820 let the new young professors you know 559 00:25:00,979 --> 00:24:59,190 take care of that so this is what's 560 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:00,989 happening we're actually teaching our 561 00:25:07,099 --> 00:25:04,769 young people obsolete science based upon 562 00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:07,109 false assumptions and we're asking them 563 00:25:11,239 --> 00:25:09,059 to solve the problems that we've left in 564 00:25:14,060 --> 00:25:11,249 the world based upon information that we 565 00:25:16,669 --> 00:25:14,070 know isn't is not true so that's that is 566 00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:16,679 where we are today and it's changing and 567 00:25:22,669 --> 00:25:20,700 the change is happening slowly and as we 568 00:25:24,919 --> 00:25:22,679 travel the world myself and some of my 569 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:24,929 colleagues that I've spoken with I'll 570 00:25:29,479 --> 00:25:26,970 just be very honest when we leave the 571 00:25:32,299 --> 00:25:29,489 borders of this big beautiful country 572 00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:32,309 that I love so much we leave the safety 573 00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:34,049 and the borders of America there's an 574 00:25:41,269 --> 00:25:37,230 openness beyond America that is so much 575 00:25:44,989 --> 00:25:41,279 greater to receive and accept and apply 576 00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:44,999 this information America is is open but 577 00:25:50,499 --> 00:25:47,639 they're not nearly as open as as we see 578 00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:50,509 people in Europe South America Australia 579 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:54,960 Middle East it's just amazing this this 580 00:26:00,979 --> 00:25:57,570 revolution in thought that is sweeping 581 00:26:02,690 --> 00:26:00,989 the earth so fast Jimmy and and a lot of 582 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:02,700 people just don't realize how fast it's 583 00:26:06,919 --> 00:26:04,559 actually happening yeah I couldn't agree 584 00:26:09,379 --> 00:26:06,929 with you more and on so many different 585 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:09,389 points here and we'll we'll come back 586 00:26:14,749 --> 00:26:11,970 after the break but I want to circle 587 00:26:18,289 --> 00:26:14,759 back to your comment about you know tech 588 00:26:21,919 --> 00:26:18,299 starting to replace our evolution right 589 00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:21,929 our own growth and I saw this a couple 590 00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:23,849 of years ago and it's like burned into 591 00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:24,740 my 592 00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:27,710 Gregg I saw this picture it's in a 593 00:26:33,310 --> 00:26:30,470 museum it's in an art museum and in the 594 00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:33,320 background you see this ginormous like 595 00:26:38,860 --> 00:26:36,320 10 foot by 10 foot classic Renaissance 596 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:38,870 painting beautiful right just gorgeous 597 00:26:45,940 --> 00:26:42,890 in front of it is a couch with five 598 00:26:47,170 --> 00:26:45,950 little girls sitting there staring at 599 00:26:50,340 --> 00:26:47,180 their cell phones 600 00:26:53,049 --> 00:26:50,350 [Laughter] 601 00:26:56,049 --> 00:26:53,059 you know and I just it was astonishing 602 00:26:58,510 --> 00:26:56,059 to me it was very prophetic but you know 603 00:27:00,279 --> 00:26:58,520 it goes beyond that so we can begin this 604 00:27:03,490 --> 00:27:00,289 conversation now we can pick it up on 605 00:27:06,490 --> 00:27:03,500 the other side of the short shirt there 606 00:27:08,769 --> 00:27:06,500 there's technology it's happening so 607 00:27:13,210 --> 00:27:08,779 quickly that technology is being 608 00:27:15,779 --> 00:27:13,220 introduced to replace human biology and 609 00:27:19,690 --> 00:27:15,789 I'm talking about even replaced neurons 610 00:27:21,159 --> 00:27:19,700 so quickly and I'll give an example of 611 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:21,169 this in here in just a moment but the 612 00:27:28,210 --> 00:27:25,250 key is when we replace our biology with 613 00:27:31,539 --> 00:27:28,220 wires and circuits that biology begins 614 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:31,549 to atrophy within our bodies and and 615 00:27:37,090 --> 00:27:34,610 when it happens in one generation you 616 00:27:39,610 --> 00:27:37,100 know it can be fun to accept these new 617 00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:39,620 technologies but pretty soon just like 618 00:27:45,220 --> 00:27:42,110 there was a generation where cell phones 619 00:27:46,539 --> 00:27:45,230 was an option now you know we we hardly 620 00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:46,549 know anyone that doesn't have a cell 621 00:27:49,570 --> 00:27:47,929 phone it's a way of life and there's an 622 00:27:52,779 --> 00:27:49,580 entire generation of young people that 623 00:27:54,490 --> 00:27:52,789 only know communication through through 624 00:27:57,789 --> 00:27:54,500 digital communication through their 625 00:28:00,669 --> 00:27:57,799 handheld device a couple years ago Elon 626 00:28:02,409 --> 00:28:00,679 Musk I think all of our listeners know 627 00:28:04,690 --> 00:28:02,419 know who he is here a developer of 628 00:28:07,149 --> 00:28:04,700 PayPal and Tesla and SpaceX and a 629 00:28:10,210 --> 00:28:07,159 brilliant man visionary 630 00:28:12,510 --> 00:28:10,220 innovator wealthy has got a big vision 631 00:28:14,919 --> 00:28:12,520 and he's pushing the boundaries of 632 00:28:17,409 --> 00:28:14,929 technology and I'm not saying this right 633 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:17,419 wrong good or bad and I'm saying that it 634 00:28:25,419 --> 00:28:22,210 is opening our eyes to the morality of 635 00:28:27,450 --> 00:28:25,429 the role that we want technology to play 636 00:28:30,610 --> 00:28:27,460 in our lives so here's a perfect example 637 00:28:31,649 --> 00:28:30,620 he just a company public called 638 00:28:35,289 --> 00:28:31,659 mirrorlink 639 00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:35,299 this was happened last year but they 640 00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:37,039 actually made the news mid-year this 641 00:28:40,810 --> 00:28:37,910 year 642 00:28:43,210 --> 00:28:40,820 and it's the first interface actually 643 00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:43,220 implanted it's a chip implanted into the 644 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:46,270 human brain so neurons are actually 645 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:49,730 linked into ports on this chip in the 646 00:28:55,290 --> 00:28:52,330 human brain to link the human brain 647 00:28:58,930 --> 00:28:55,300 directly to the hard drive of a computer 648 00:29:00,400 --> 00:28:58,940 with wireless technology so you know 649 00:29:02,410 --> 00:29:00,410 young people when they hear that they 650 00:29:03,580 --> 00:29:02,420 say oh you know sweet man I can play my 651 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:03,590 games right 652 00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:06,080 you know without using any wires here's 653 00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:10,510 deal we are such technologically 654 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:13,070 biologically sophisticated beings we 655 00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:15,890 have neurons that already perform that 656 00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:17,990 function that we are not even told about 657 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:21,020 and we don't even use and what the the 658 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:24,050 science is showing is from other other 659 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:28,130 technologies is when humans begin to 660 00:29:34,780 --> 00:29:30,770 rely on something other than their own 661 00:29:36,670 --> 00:29:34,790 biology to perform even reproduction 662 00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:36,680 this is actually something that's 663 00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:39,830 happening in some parts of Asia where 664 00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:42,200 the human reproduction is being replaced 665 00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:44,540 by other forms of reproduction and what 666 00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:46,520 they're finding is the fertility rates 667 00:29:50,550 --> 00:29:47,840 have dropped the sperm counts have 668 00:29:53,740 --> 00:29:50,560 dropped the the number of mortalities 669 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:53,750 now exceeds the number of live births 670 00:29:59,260 --> 00:29:56,480 and they're attributing this to to the 671 00:30:03,100 --> 00:29:59,270 role the technology's playing in our 672 00:30:06,010 --> 00:30:03,110 lives we begin to replace human neurons 673 00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:06,020 with chips one generation it's kind of a 674 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:07,460 cool thing to do but pretty soon that's 675 00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:10,490 all we know and we begin to lose that 676 00:30:14,350 --> 00:30:12,950 aspect of our humanists and again I'm 677 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:14,360 not saying it's right or wrong or good 678 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:17,450 or bad but at least know who we are know 679 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:19,610 what that potential is before we make 680 00:30:24,580 --> 00:30:21,410 the choice to give it away yeah it only 681 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:24,590 takes one generation that's it yeah it's 682 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:27,050 altered immediately let's take our break 683 00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:28,970 right here Greg our guest tonight is 684 00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:30,800 Gregg Braden this is fade to black 685 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:32,960 I'm your host Jimmy Church I'm the game 686 00:30:38,650 --> 00:30:35,930 changer networking kgr a the planet you 687 00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:38,660 can follow me on twitter at JDO you can 688 00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:41,240 follow Greg on Twitter at Gregg Braden 689 00:30:46,420 --> 00:30:43,550 Greg with two g's and the links are 690 00:30:48,220 --> 00:30:46,430 right up in Twitter in our feed we'll be 691 00:30:49,140 --> 00:30:48,230 right back after this short break stay 692 00:31:04,530 --> 00:30:49,150 with us 693 00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:08,590 [Music] 694 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:11,289 all right welcome back may the block I 695 00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:13,130 am your host Jimmy church tonight gregg 696 00:31:17,889 --> 00:31:15,769 braden is with us want to remind 697 00:31:20,110 --> 00:31:17,899 everybody the scheduling changes this 698 00:31:22,749 --> 00:31:20,120 week tomorrow night is Fator night open 699 00:31:24,789 --> 00:31:22,759 lines Wednesday night Lin pick nits and 700 00:31:27,789 --> 00:31:24,799 Clyde prints are here and then Thursday 701 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:27,799 night live from India deep Prasad 702 00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:30,250 tonight it's Gregg Braden and and Gregg 703 00:31:35,259 --> 00:31:32,809 we were discussing right before the 704 00:31:38,590 --> 00:31:35,269 break about replacing our own biology 705 00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:38,600 with technology there are aspects to it 706 00:31:44,139 --> 00:31:42,049 that I'm sort of okay with like say for 707 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:44,149 instance music I don't think guitar is 708 00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:46,490 ever gonna go away but we've got a lot 709 00:31:52,690 --> 00:31:49,070 of electronic drums out there there's 710 00:31:54,730 --> 00:31:52,700 that part or digital painting and the 711 00:31:56,850 --> 00:31:54,740 creation of digital art I don't think 712 00:32:00,789 --> 00:31:56,860 paintbrushes are going to get replaced 713 00:32:03,909 --> 00:32:00,799 and when you look at real fine art you 714 00:32:06,820 --> 00:32:03,919 can appreciate and feel the human 715 00:32:09,639 --> 00:32:06,830 element in it when brushes are used but 716 00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:09,649 then there's the other part where if we 717 00:32:16,450 --> 00:32:12,950 start to depend on technology to think 718 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:16,460 for us with smart devices smart 719 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:19,490 everything smart cars well things are 720 00:32:25,389 --> 00:32:22,490 gonna change our brains will not be 721 00:32:27,610 --> 00:32:25,399 responding the same way as they did a 722 00:32:30,490 --> 00:32:27,620 couple of generations ago right oh 723 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:30,500 absolutely I was just gonna clarify that 724 00:32:34,419 --> 00:32:32,090 when we came on this side of the hour 725 00:32:36,879 --> 00:32:34,429 you know the technology is never good or 726 00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:36,889 bad it's how it's applied and what 727 00:32:41,889 --> 00:32:39,710 typically happens in science is that the 728 00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:41,899 technology is developed first and then 729 00:32:47,499 --> 00:32:44,929 we have to catch up we have to backtrack 730 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:47,509 and say you know how do we use this and 731 00:32:53,259 --> 00:32:50,690 do we have the right to use this I I've 732 00:32:55,899 --> 00:32:53,269 been the scientific community for most 733 00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:55,909 of my adult life and one of the things 734 00:33:00,909 --> 00:32:58,850 the ongoing battle that you will always 735 00:33:03,850 --> 00:33:00,919 hear between scientists at the water 736 00:33:05,409 --> 00:33:03,860 cooler over the coffee machine or you 737 00:33:07,330 --> 00:33:05,419 know in the bar after work or in the 738 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:07,340 laboratory it's the same one there 739 00:33:14,740 --> 00:33:10,370 there's one school of thinking one camp 740 00:33:17,259 --> 00:33:14,750 that says because we have developed this 741 00:33:20,529 --> 00:33:17,269 technology because we've done it it 742 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:20,539 gives us the right to apply this in our 743 00:33:23,770 --> 00:33:22,370 lives if we were never meant to 744 00:33:26,020 --> 00:33:23,780 but we never would have developed it 745 00:33:29,230 --> 00:33:26,030 that's one way of thinking another way 746 00:33:30,910 --> 00:33:29,240 of thinking is just because we can does 747 00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:30,920 not necessarily mean that we should 748 00:33:35,710 --> 00:33:33,950 apply this in our lives it's like you 749 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:35,720 know you might have a Ferrari I was just 750 00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:37,850 with a friend in Zurich Switzerland has 751 00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:40,280 got a Maserati and the speedometer 752 00:33:45,100 --> 00:33:42,830 clocks it much higher then you know they 753 00:33:46,780 --> 00:33:45,110 really want you to drive on the freeway 754 00:33:48,250 --> 00:33:46,790 so just because you can doesn't 755 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:48,260 necessarily mean that you that you 756 00:33:54,030 --> 00:33:50,210 should so I'm gonna give you a perfect 757 00:33:58,330 --> 00:33:54,040 example of this up until a few years ago 758 00:34:00,970 --> 00:33:58,340 the idea of gene editing was pretty much 759 00:34:04,450 --> 00:34:00,980 science fiction you know on any kind of 760 00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:04,460 a large scale a few years ago technology 761 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:05,870 was developed and I'm sure you've got a 762 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:07,610 very sophisticated audience here and I'm 763 00:34:11,940 --> 00:34:09,050 sure they're familiar with it's called 764 00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:11,950 CRISPR mmm-hmm so just the way that we 765 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:15,230 edit words with a word editor on the 766 00:34:22,210 --> 00:34:18,050 computer you can bring up a strand of 767 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:22,220 DNA and delete and add in splice genes 768 00:34:26,290 --> 00:34:24,770 with an editor the same way so we've had 769 00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:26,300 this for a while you know scientists 770 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:28,190 been using it with worms and flies and 771 00:34:31,020 --> 00:34:30,290 you know certain kinds of crops and 772 00:34:34,889 --> 00:34:31,030 things like that 773 00:34:37,090 --> 00:34:34,899 last year 2018 all of a sudden 774 00:34:39,970 --> 00:34:37,100 completely unexpected a Chinese 775 00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:39,980 scientist announced that the first set 776 00:34:45,310 --> 00:34:43,070 of twins had been born as the result of 777 00:34:47,139 --> 00:34:45,320 gene editing and the scientific 778 00:34:48,580 --> 00:34:47,149 community came down on him like a ton of 779 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:48,590 bricks and they said wait a minute 780 00:34:53,710 --> 00:34:51,290 you know we never agreed that we were 781 00:34:55,690 --> 00:34:53,720 going to use this you know for real we 782 00:34:57,970 --> 00:34:55,700 were talking about developing it and 783 00:35:00,550 --> 00:34:57,980 what the potential is you know and he 784 00:35:01,930 --> 00:35:00,560 was of the thinking hey you know if we 785 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:01,940 if we weren't meant to use it we 786 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:05,210 wouldn't have it so now the science has 787 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:06,530 to catch up and there's a huge 788 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:11,090 scientific debate over how we edit the 789 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:13,490 DNA of unborn children who is it that 790 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:15,890 makes the choice of what's a desirable 791 00:35:22,210 --> 00:35:18,770 trait and what's not and how did they 792 00:35:24,070 --> 00:35:22,220 filter that through their history of you 793 00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:24,080 know their experience and and you know 794 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:26,750 do we do we make all children have the 795 00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:29,570 same intelligence I - or you know 796 00:35:33,250 --> 00:35:31,520 intelligence quotient or do they all 797 00:35:35,530 --> 00:35:33,260 have the same color of hair or what's an 798 00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:35,540 undesirable color of hair that we want 799 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:35,670 to 800 00:35:40,039 --> 00:35:38,010 take out and this is science is really 801 00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:40,049 struggling with this right now and this 802 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:42,960 is an example of where the technology 803 00:35:49,940 --> 00:35:46,170 has advanced before the morality do we 804 00:35:54,589 --> 00:35:49,950 have to write do we have to have a DNA 805 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:54,599 police write like DNA courts well this 806 00:35:59,569 --> 00:35:57,359 is where this is where the next part of 807 00:36:02,089 --> 00:35:59,579 our conversation comes in my personal 808 00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:02,099 feeling and I'll be very clear with with 809 00:36:07,010 --> 00:36:03,990 you sitting here on your couch and the 810 00:36:08,809 --> 00:36:07,020 buzzer that might be listening I I'll 811 00:36:11,299 --> 00:36:08,819 separate the peer-reviewed science from 812 00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:11,309 my personal feeling the research that 813 00:36:18,349 --> 00:36:15,349 I've done the the science that I've seen 814 00:36:21,049 --> 00:36:18,359 in this you know over 60 years of my 815 00:36:23,390 --> 00:36:21,059 life now there are some things I really 816 00:36:26,089 --> 00:36:23,400 think are that we shouldn't be messing 817 00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:26,099 with because of the way they were 818 00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:29,030 created and human DNA is part of that 819 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:33,089 one of the the paradigm shattering 820 00:36:38,059 --> 00:36:35,010 discoveries I mean this is just blowing 821 00:36:40,339 --> 00:36:38,069 the doors it's it's like an earthquake 822 00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:40,349 shaking the foundations of the life 823 00:36:46,099 --> 00:36:43,140 sciences and biology is that evolution 824 00:36:48,650 --> 00:36:46,109 as we have been led to understand it is 825 00:36:49,940 --> 00:36:48,660 not our story and I want to be really 826 00:36:53,089 --> 00:36:49,950 clear about what I'm saying here I'm a 827 00:36:54,829 --> 00:36:53,099 geologist and I've seen evidence of 828 00:36:56,539 --> 00:36:54,839 evolution in the fossil evolutions of 829 00:37:00,710 --> 00:36:56,549 fact I've seen it in the fossil record 830 00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:00,720 for many plants many insects many many 831 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:03,480 forms of life the story of evolution 832 00:37:09,620 --> 00:37:06,450 breaks down when it comes to humans and 833 00:37:12,260 --> 00:37:09,630 this is really really causing a lot of 834 00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:12,270 problems the theory of evolution is in 835 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:14,460 trouble right now so I'm going to give 836 00:37:19,130 --> 00:37:16,410 you two two different ways of looking at 837 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:19,140 one is the physical evidence supporting 838 00:37:23,569 --> 00:37:21,930 evolution has never existed if you look 839 00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:23,579 at one of those evolutionary family 840 00:37:28,789 --> 00:37:26,910 trees you see on you know the PBS or the 841 00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:28,799 Nova special we're in the Smithsonian 842 00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:32,220 magazine you know you see us a skull of 843 00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:33,630 a modern human at the top and then you 844 00:37:37,099 --> 00:37:34,710 see all the branches of this tree 845 00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:37,109 connecting it to all these other forms 846 00:37:42,980 --> 00:37:40,710 of life and if you look closely those 847 00:37:46,099 --> 00:37:42,990 branches typically are either broken 848 00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:46,109 lines or the legend that tells you that 849 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:49,140 they are what are called inferred 850 00:37:54,650 --> 00:37:51,570 or speculative for relationships they 851 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:54,660 are believed to exist although no 852 00:37:59,630 --> 00:37:57,050 physical evidence has ever been found 853 00:38:01,910 --> 00:37:59,640 linking us to those other forms of life 854 00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:01,920 physical evidence now that theory was 855 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:05,190 proposed in 1859 and from the time it 856 00:38:09,980 --> 00:38:07,530 was proposed a lot of scientists had a 857 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:09,990 problem with a theory so we've known 858 00:38:13,370 --> 00:38:11,970 this and if that is all there was I 859 00:38:15,470 --> 00:38:13,380 probably wouldn't even be having this 860 00:38:17,570 --> 00:38:15,480 conversation with you but the new 861 00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:17,580 discoveries now that are changing 862 00:38:21,130 --> 00:38:19,200 everything go beyond the physical 863 00:38:23,540 --> 00:38:21,140 evidence Jimmy now we're looking at DNA 864 00:38:25,370 --> 00:38:23,550 so I think some of our listeners 865 00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:25,380 probably remember there was a movie 866 00:38:30,290 --> 00:38:27,720 Jurassic Park the first Jurassic Park 867 00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:30,300 came out a few years ago where it was 868 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:33,020 science fiction at the time where DNA 869 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:36,090 was extracted from the fossilized 870 00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:39,450 remains of ancient forms of life and in 871 00:38:45,020 --> 00:38:42,960 the movie that DNA was was reconstituted 872 00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:45,030 it was brought back to life well to the 873 00:38:48,710 --> 00:38:46,260 best of my knowledge we haven't gone 874 00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:48,720 quite that far but what we are able to 875 00:38:54,380 --> 00:38:51,840 do now is we have we I say we the 876 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:54,390 scientific community we have the ability 877 00:38:58,850 --> 00:38:56,850 to extract the DNA from fossilized 878 00:39:01,760 --> 00:38:58,860 remains of ancient forms of life 879 00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:01,770 including the forms of life that were 880 00:39:08,030 --> 00:39:04,830 once believes to be our ancestors that 881 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:08,040 we had descended from so now we're that 882 00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:09,690 comes usually it comes from the bone 883 00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:13,110 marrow and a lot of times the ribs of 884 00:39:18,380 --> 00:39:16,440 those those primitive beings are where 885 00:39:21,170 --> 00:39:18,390 you find the best preserved bone marrow 886 00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:21,180 so now we're able to build a genome of 887 00:39:25,700 --> 00:39:23,460 those ancient forms of life and compare 888 00:39:27,830 --> 00:39:25,710 it to modern DNA today and this is the 889 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:27,840 kicker this is what's blowing the doors 890 00:39:33,590 --> 00:39:30,330 off of of the ideas of evolution is 891 00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:33,600 there's not enough DNA overlap to 892 00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,250 suggest that we have descended from 893 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:37,440 those forms of life for example we did 894 00:39:43,490 --> 00:39:39,330 not descend from Neanderthal we now know 895 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:43,500 that we there's not enough common DNA to 896 00:39:48,410 --> 00:39:45,930 show that we descended from them we we 897 00:39:50,630 --> 00:39:48,420 shared the earth with them and we 898 00:39:53,740 --> 00:39:50,640 probably interbred with them and that's 899 00:39:57,260 --> 00:39:53,750 why some people do you know if you go to 900 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,270 23andme or ancestry.com and they have 901 00:40:02,510 --> 00:39:59,280 your DNA analyzed you might find if you 902 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:02,520 have some some Neanderthal DNA because 903 00:40:06,110 --> 00:40:04,410 there was in her breeding but we shared 904 00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:06,120 the years with them we did not descend 905 00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:08,820 from them so this is this is one of the 906 00:40:13,010 --> 00:40:10,950 discoveries we did not descend from 907 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:13,020 those forms of life but but here's where 908 00:40:18,650 --> 00:40:15,930 it gets really interesting we showed up 909 00:40:21,650 --> 00:40:18,660 we as anatomically modern humans this is 910 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:21,660 what we're called AMH is the acronym in 911 00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:24,210 the scientific jargon anatomically 912 00:40:29,930 --> 00:40:26,730 modern humans we appeared on earth about 913 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:29,940 200,000 years ago and scientists agree 914 00:40:35,390 --> 00:40:31,410 with that there's no controversy there 915 00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:35,400 the problem is how we got to be where we 916 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:38,430 are there is no evolutionary path 917 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:41,370 leading to our emergence we showed up 918 00:40:48,290 --> 00:40:45,450 jimy fully with a brain 50% larger than 919 00:40:51,380 --> 00:40:48,300 our nearest primate relatives with this 920 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:51,390 this advanced neural network in our 921 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:53,850 heart and in our brain and in our bodies 922 00:40:58,370 --> 00:40:56,370 with the same body proportions we have 923 00:41:00,590 --> 00:40:58,380 today with the same capacities the same 924 00:41:02,570 --> 00:41:00,600 capabilities we have today and what the 925 00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:02,580 DNA is showing is we showed up and we 926 00:41:07,490 --> 00:41:05,160 have not changed since we appeared that 927 00:41:11,330 --> 00:41:07,500 is a problem for Darwin's idea of 928 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:11,340 evolution when we start looking at the 929 00:41:18,410 --> 00:41:14,610 specific chromosomes that give us our 930 00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:18,420 uniqueness as humans this is where it 931 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:21,000 just goes right off the charts because 932 00:41:28,340 --> 00:41:25,170 we're looking at mutations in the human 933 00:41:31,070 --> 00:41:28,350 genome that could not have happened 934 00:41:33,650 --> 00:41:31,080 through evolutionary processes and and 935 00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:33,660 the scientists say that in the technical 936 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:35,730 pin of national for the proceedings for 937 00:41:40,190 --> 00:41:37,410 National Academy of Sciences for example 938 00:41:42,770 --> 00:41:40,200 on the volume genetics talking about 939 00:41:45,890 --> 00:41:42,780 human chromosome number two chromosome 940 00:41:48,820 --> 00:41:45,900 two gives us our larger brain it gives 941 00:41:52,340 --> 00:41:48,830 us our capacities for empathy sympathy 942 00:41:54,650 --> 00:41:52,350 emotion self regulation compassion all 943 00:41:57,380 --> 00:41:54,660 those things that make us human that 944 00:42:00,560 --> 00:41:57,390 chromosome is a result of a fusion Jimmy 945 00:42:02,750 --> 00:42:00,570 it's a fusion of two pre-existing 946 00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:02,760 chromosomes that after the fusion 947 00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:06,350 happened the DNA was tweaked genes were 948 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:09,710 removed genes were added and all of this 949 00:42:14,210 --> 00:42:12,570 didn't make any sense to us until we saw 950 00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:14,220 the CRISPR technology within the last 951 00:42:19,220 --> 00:42:16,350 few years it looks like 952 00:42:21,740 --> 00:42:19,230 crisper type event except it happened 953 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:21,750 over 200,000 years ago and in others 954 00:42:25,820 --> 00:42:24,330 chromosome 7 you can allowed this you're 955 00:42:28,310 --> 00:42:25,830 a musician I didn't know this I'm a 956 00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:28,320 musician so as a musician have you ever 957 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:33,030 wondered why chimpanzees that share 98% 958 00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:35,610 of our DNA can't sing you ever wondered 959 00:42:38,810 --> 00:42:36,750 what you're never going to see a 960 00:42:42,650 --> 00:42:38,820 chimpanzee sing stairway to heaven right 961 00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:42,660 and and the answer the answer why that 962 00:42:49,250 --> 00:42:45,120 cannot happen is because there is a 963 00:42:52,460 --> 00:42:49,260 mutation in human chromosome 7 that had 964 00:42:55,220 --> 00:42:52,470 not occurred previously for 75 million 965 00:42:57,590 --> 00:42:55,230 years and all of a sudden this mutation 966 00:43:00,980 --> 00:42:57,600 happened and it happened exactly at the 967 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:00,990 same time that 200,000 year mark and you 968 00:43:06,860 --> 00:43:04,410 see this time and time again so so we 969 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:06,870 can go on and on with this let me jump 970 00:43:11,390 --> 00:43:09,330 in though Greg what are what are we 971 00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:11,400 suggesting here I'll give you a 972 00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:15,300 suggestion this is my suggestion that 973 00:43:23,990 --> 00:43:19,280 that quite possibly we were placed here 974 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:24,000 you know that that that we just appeared 975 00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:27,570 here how that happened I don't know I 976 00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:30,000 don't know if it's offworld if it's 977 00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:32,730 somebody visited here and did did some 978 00:43:38,180 --> 00:43:35,760 CRISPR work 200,000 years ago but I can 979 00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:38,190 tell you what it wasn't it wasn't a 980 00:43:45,890 --> 00:43:42,630 lightning strike that magically altered 981 00:43:48,620 --> 00:43:45,900 our DNA cook the soup in the ocean right 982 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:48,630 it wasn't wasn't the lightning exactly 983 00:43:52,610 --> 00:43:50,490 well tell me what you're saying this is 984 00:43:56,090 --> 00:43:52,620 the very point the evidence does not 985 00:43:58,370 --> 00:43:56,100 support the story and the point is we 986 00:44:01,160 --> 00:43:58,380 don't have the answer because we're 987 00:44:03,140 --> 00:44:01,170 forcing our young people to follow a 988 00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:03,150 story that the evidence doesn't support 989 00:44:07,450 --> 00:44:04,710 even though we know it's no longer true 990 00:44:11,350 --> 00:44:07,460 there there's a huge difference between 991 00:44:14,270 --> 00:44:11,360 forcing all of the existing data into a 992 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:14,280 predetermined story sure to support that 993 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:18,810 story and following the evidence to 994 00:44:25,130 --> 00:44:20,730 whatever story it's going to lead that 995 00:44:28,070 --> 00:44:25,140 lead us to and and my feeling is as we 996 00:44:30,470 --> 00:44:28,080 follow the evidence to wherever it leads 997 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:30,480 we're writing a new human so 998 00:44:36,620 --> 00:44:34,410 it's going to to free us in so many ways 999 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:36,630 from the shackles of these these 1000 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:38,130 limiting beliefs that we've had in the 1001 00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:42,090 past but the point is we we we can't get 1002 00:44:48,770 --> 00:44:45,150 there scientifically until we free our 1003 00:44:51,350 --> 00:44:48,780 scientists from the bonds of these 1004 00:44:53,450 --> 00:44:51,360 pre-existing ideas that are being 1005 00:44:55,730 --> 00:44:53,460 imposed upon them through the system 1006 00:44:57,470 --> 00:44:55,740 through the university system and in the 1007 00:44:59,630 --> 00:44:57,480 academics and I'm not saying through 1008 00:45:02,300 --> 00:44:59,640 Darwin's ideas out we've got smart young 1009 00:45:03,860 --> 00:45:02,310 people in these schools give them all of 1010 00:45:06,860 --> 00:45:03,870 the data give them all of the evidence 1011 00:45:08,930 --> 00:45:06,870 show them Darb Darwin's ideas show them 1012 00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:08,940 the new discoveries so that they've got 1013 00:45:14,810 --> 00:45:10,800 everything they need to go after this 1014 00:45:17,870 --> 00:45:14,820 answer and and tell us in a way that is 1015 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:17,880 accepted in a language is not based in 1016 00:45:22,250 --> 00:45:20,490 religion and the language of science who 1017 00:45:24,130 --> 00:45:22,260 we are and where we've come from and 1018 00:45:26,180 --> 00:45:24,140 when we begin to understand those things 1019 00:45:27,980 --> 00:45:26,190 then we begin to look at one another 1020 00:45:30,110 --> 00:45:27,990 very differently and we begin to look at 1021 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:30,120 our relationship to the world very 1022 00:45:34,780 --> 00:45:31,650 differently and I think that's where 1023 00:45:37,730 --> 00:45:34,790 peace begins and that's where a 1024 00:45:41,450 --> 00:45:37,740 compassionate sharing world really 1025 00:45:43,310 --> 00:45:41,460 begins so the the the new discoveries I 1026 00:45:45,290 --> 00:45:43,320 mean these what I'm saying to you this 1027 00:45:46,730 --> 00:45:45,300 is peer-reviewed science you know write 1028 00:45:48,170 --> 00:45:46,740 about my books I'll talk it about the 1029 00:45:51,650 --> 00:45:48,180 conscious life x-bow I'll show great 1030 00:45:54,500 --> 00:45:51,660 pictures of you know how these things 1031 00:45:57,830 --> 00:45:54,510 happened they that the mutations 1032 00:46:00,200 --> 00:45:57,840 happened all at the same period of time 1033 00:46:03,220 --> 00:46:00,210 that two hundred thousand year mark so 1034 00:46:06,380 --> 00:46:03,230 as a scientist what I have to say is 1035 00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:06,390 that when I'm asked what caused those 1036 00:46:11,780 --> 00:46:09,030 mutations I have to say it appears there 1037 00:46:13,700 --> 00:46:11,790 is some form of intervention now what 1038 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:13,710 that intervention is I don't know as a 1039 00:46:19,550 --> 00:46:17,010 scientist but here's what I also know as 1040 00:46:21,860 --> 00:46:19,560 I have spent so much of my adult life 1041 00:46:24,650 --> 00:46:21,870 with indigenous traditions and ancient 1042 00:46:26,330 --> 00:46:24,660 texts I've not studied every tradition 1043 00:46:28,370 --> 00:46:26,340 Jimmy but every one that I have studied 1044 00:46:30,470 --> 00:46:28,380 is different as they are from one 1045 00:46:32,170 --> 00:46:30,480 another there's a common theme and that 1046 00:46:34,940 --> 00:46:32,180 common theme is that we are the product 1047 00:46:36,910 --> 00:46:34,950 of an intelligent intervention and that 1048 00:46:40,790 --> 00:46:36,920 we are related to something so much more 1049 00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:40,800 than the limited way that we've been led 1050 00:46:44,210 --> 00:46:42,720 to think of ourselves in the world we're 1051 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:44,220 part of a much greater community 1052 00:46:48,770 --> 00:46:46,770 we we have this extraordinary potential 1053 00:46:51,500 --> 00:46:48,780 and it's for that reason I'm going to 1054 00:46:55,849 --> 00:46:51,510 tie this back it's for that reason until 1055 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:55,859 we embrace the deep truth of what that 1056 00:47:01,790 --> 00:46:57,930 science is showing us I don't think we 1057 00:47:04,580 --> 00:47:01,800 want to be tweaking the DNA and that we 1058 00:47:06,410 --> 00:47:04,590 appeared with 200,000 years ago another 1059 00:47:09,349 --> 00:47:06,420 way of saying it is the DNA that we were 1060 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:09,359 given this extraordinary potential you 1061 00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:12,240 know in evolutionary biology a lot of 1062 00:47:18,020 --> 00:47:15,359 people don't know this Charles Darwin is 1063 00:47:19,580 --> 00:47:18,030 noted often as the author but he had a 1064 00:47:23,170 --> 00:47:19,590 co-author of the theories name was 1065 00:47:25,370 --> 00:47:23,180 Alfred Wallace and one of the tenants of 1066 00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:25,380 evolutionary biology is that nature 1067 00:47:32,210 --> 00:47:29,760 never over endowed a species with more 1068 00:47:34,609 --> 00:47:32,220 than it needs in the moment of its 1069 00:47:38,089 --> 00:47:34,619 existence that's right so in other words 1070 00:47:40,849 --> 00:47:38,099 it's it's only when circumstances 1071 00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:40,859 present us with a need to develop new 1072 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:42,510 abilities and new capabilities new ways 1073 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:44,490 of seeing or hearing or tasting or 1074 00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:46,650 assimilating food or whatever it is that 1075 00:47:52,250 --> 00:47:48,810 we develop those and and this is the 1076 00:47:54,050 --> 00:47:52,260 problem we appeared over and out we are 1077 00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:54,060 an over endowed species I know some 1078 00:47:58,700 --> 00:47:56,550 people love to hear that and you can you 1079 00:48:01,579 --> 00:47:58,710 can take that in a lot of places but we 1080 00:48:04,270 --> 00:48:01,589 are an over endowed species because we 1081 00:48:07,250 --> 00:48:04,280 appeared 200,000 years ago within 1082 00:48:08,750 --> 00:48:07,260 internal technology light-years beyond 1083 00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:08,760 what we needed for our everyday 1084 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:11,849 existence already intact it did not 1085 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:13,530 develop slowly gradually over a long 1086 00:48:17,089 --> 00:48:15,810 period of time that is a problem for 1087 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:17,099 evolutionary biology 1088 00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:18,930 now can I play devil's advocate for a 1089 00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:24,089 second yeah I'm your guy I'm I'm one of 1090 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:26,730 your fellow educator sitting across the 1091 00:48:32,140 --> 00:48:29,280 table let you say this and I leaned 1092 00:48:34,550 --> 00:48:32,150 forward and I say what do you mean 1093 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:34,560 intelligent intervention what are you 1094 00:48:40,150 --> 00:48:37,890 really trying to say here I'm not I want 1095 00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:40,160 you to be clear you know what I mean I 1096 00:48:46,430 --> 00:48:42,990 and that's that was what I would say to 1097 00:48:48,620 --> 00:48:46,440 that - that educator I would say you 1098 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:48,630 just hit the nail on the head I don't 1099 00:48:54,050 --> 00:48:50,250 know and neither do you 1100 00:48:56,170 --> 00:48:54,060 educator and we don't know as a society 1101 00:48:58,050 --> 00:48:56,180 because we've not allowed ourselves to 1102 00:49:00,300 --> 00:48:58,060 answer this question 1103 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:00,310 to the fullest extent we're running the 1104 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:01,090 other way 1105 00:49:06,660 --> 00:49:04,170 discounting the evidence when I say 1106 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:06,670 intelligent intervention our own 1107 00:49:11,430 --> 00:49:09,370 scientist peer-reviewed science there is 1108 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:11,440 a an organization of proceedings 1109 00:49:16,770 --> 00:49:13,770 National Academy of Sciences this is a 1110 00:49:18,630 --> 00:49:16,780 peer-reviewed publication when they 1111 00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:18,640 began writing about human chromosome 2 1112 00:49:23,970 --> 00:49:20,710 they were the first that said this 1113 00:49:26,490 --> 00:49:23,980 fusion and the tweaking that happened 1114 00:49:28,650 --> 00:49:26,500 after the fusion occurred that gives us 1115 00:49:31,830 --> 00:49:28,660 our uniqueness could not be the product 1116 00:49:34,530 --> 00:49:31,840 of evolutionary processes something 1117 00:49:38,820 --> 00:49:34,540 happened that that evolution cannot 1118 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:38,830 explain so this is where another there's 1119 00:49:42,570 --> 00:49:40,810 two ways of thinking of this I have 1120 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:42,580 colleagues that say we've got to answer 1121 00:49:47,010 --> 00:49:44,370 the question we have to know who we are 1122 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:47,020 before we know what our potential is and 1123 00:49:53,670 --> 00:49:49,210 I'm taking the other path Jimmy on what 1124 00:49:56,910 --> 00:49:53,680 I'm saying is let's develop the fullest 1125 00:49:59,730 --> 00:49:56,920 extent of our extraordinary potential 1126 00:50:03,000 --> 00:49:59,740 these extraordinary capabilities that we 1127 00:50:05,430 --> 00:50:03,010 all have of super super cognition super 1128 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:05,440 perception super immune response super 1129 00:50:10,890 --> 00:50:08,050 longevity the ability to access deep 1130 00:50:13,290 --> 00:50:10,900 states of intuition on demand to heal 1131 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:13,300 our bodies quickly than sciences has 1132 00:50:16,650 --> 00:50:15,130 been led to believe and we do all this 1133 00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:16,660 I've read about my books doing our 1134 00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:19,860 workshops so that my colleagues by 1135 00:50:27,150 --> 00:50:23,730 embracing the deep truth of who we are I 1136 00:50:30,570 --> 00:50:27,160 think that will lead us to understand 1137 00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:30,580 our relationship to who or whatever it 1138 00:50:33,660 --> 00:50:32,350 is that is responsible for us being here 1139 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:33,670 it's a very very different way of 1140 00:50:38,220 --> 00:50:35,290 thinking yeah and I want to continue 1141 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:38,230 this after the break but I want to ask 1142 00:50:47,250 --> 00:50:43,690 you this before the break did the did 1143 00:50:49,410 --> 00:50:47,260 the technology movement that happened at 1144 00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:49,420 an extraordinarily fast rate back in 1145 00:50:57,450 --> 00:50:54,790 1995 until today it is completely out of 1146 00:51:01,890 --> 00:50:57,460 our control now it's too much too fast 1147 00:51:04,350 --> 00:51:01,900 and it is causing changes on this planet 1148 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:04,360 with consciousness with the the 1149 00:51:10,830 --> 00:51:07,450 infighting the divisive nests the 1150 00:51:15,150 --> 00:51:10,840 complexity of things was it too much to 1151 00:51:17,790 --> 00:51:15,160 fast for us to handle in my opinion I 1152 00:51:19,590 --> 00:51:17,800 don't think so and and the reason I say 1153 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:19,600 that relates to something that we have 1154 00:51:25,620 --> 00:51:22,450 not yet talked about tonight but as a 1155 00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:25,630 scientist I'm a systems thinker and I'm 1156 00:51:32,700 --> 00:51:29,290 also process oriented and when I look at 1157 00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:32,710 systems I look at the history of our 1158 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:36,250 planet in terms of systems in cycles and 1159 00:51:44,190 --> 00:51:40,330 I look at the history of life and human 1160 00:51:46,650 --> 00:51:44,200 civilization and human emergence in 1161 00:51:48,390 --> 00:51:46,660 terms of cycles and when you step back 1162 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:48,400 and you look at the big picture Jimmy 1163 00:51:51,990 --> 00:51:50,890 what you find it's a very different 1164 00:51:53,730 --> 00:51:52,000 story than what we've been led to 1165 00:51:56,730 --> 00:51:53,740 believe when when I was in school back 1166 00:51:59,700 --> 00:51:56,740 in the 50s 60s early 70s you know I was 1167 00:52:01,770 --> 00:51:59,710 taught that civilization began in a 1168 00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:01,780 primitive state and it was a linear 1169 00:52:08,340 --> 00:52:05,110 growth up to this pinnacle that we find 1170 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:08,350 today the problem is the archaeology 1171 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:10,690 doesn't support that linear model with 1172 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:13,210 the archaeology says is that we are the 1173 00:52:18,450 --> 00:52:15,970 product of cycles of civilization and 1174 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:18,460 those cycles are largely driven by 1175 00:52:24,210 --> 00:52:20,530 cosmic cycles that affect everything 1176 00:52:27,450 --> 00:52:24,220 from climate to sea levels to 1177 00:52:29,790 --> 00:52:27,460 consciousness so when I look at what has 1178 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:29,800 happened within the context of those 1179 00:52:34,890 --> 00:52:31,530 cycles what I say is we are right on 1180 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:34,900 it's it's an evolutionary acceleration 1181 00:52:42,300 --> 00:52:39,010 and the technology had to happen quickly 1182 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:42,310 to push us to understand our 1183 00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:45,010 relationship to that technology within 1184 00:52:48,750 --> 00:52:47,110 where we are in the cycle so I know 1185 00:52:50,100 --> 00:52:48,760 that's that's a lot to unpack and when 1186 00:52:51,390 --> 00:52:50,110 we come back from you know from our 1187 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:51,400 break we can talk about that in more 1188 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:54,250 detail how do we how do we slow it down 1189 00:52:58,800 --> 00:52:56,770 though that's the thing so we can fully 1190 00:53:00,630 --> 00:52:58,810 understand how it's affecting us is 1191 00:53:04,110 --> 00:53:00,640 there a way to pump the brakes and and 1192 00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:04,120 take a breath in terms of the technology 1193 00:53:07,740 --> 00:53:06,310 yes I don't think so 1194 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:07,750 it's kind of like the genies out of the 1195 00:53:12,300 --> 00:53:10,570 bottle right what has happened is the 1196 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:12,310 traditional boundaries between the 1197 00:53:16,410 --> 00:53:14,650 sciences are collapsing so the 1198 00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:16,420 discoveries in physics are now being 1199 00:53:21,060 --> 00:53:18,670 applied to biology and the discoveries 1200 00:53:23,340 --> 00:53:21,070 in chemistry are now being applied to 1201 00:53:23,610 --> 00:53:23,350 physiology and neurology and there are 1202 00:53:26,580 --> 00:53:23,620 new 1203 00:53:28,230 --> 00:53:26,590 Sciences like neuro cardiology that are 1204 00:53:30,890 --> 00:53:28,240 linking the heart in the brain in ways 1205 00:53:34,050 --> 00:53:30,900 that we never did in the past so I think 1206 00:53:36,930 --> 00:53:34,060 the the the breakdown of the boundaries 1207 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:36,940 between the technologies is leading us 1208 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:41,680 to a wisdom that is greater than in its 1209 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:44,890 in its totality then what we have done 1210 00:53:48,780 --> 00:53:46,330 with the compartmentalized 1211 00:53:50,190 --> 00:53:48,790 wisdom of the past I'm just a quick 1212 00:53:52,590 --> 00:53:50,200 example that's the best way to describe 1213 00:53:56,100 --> 00:53:52,600 this when I was a geologist back in the 1214 00:53:58,110 --> 00:53:56,110 70s I was studying geophysics in the 1215 00:54:00,150 --> 00:53:58,120 magnetic fields of the earth it was 1216 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:00,160 obvious that the magnetic fields of the 1217 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:02,530 earth are changing very quickly and my 1218 00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:04,210 question was what does that mean to us 1219 00:54:08,610 --> 00:54:06,910 to to biological beings and my 1220 00:54:09,750 --> 00:54:08,620 colleagues they looked at me and they 1221 00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:09,760 said you know don't ask me I'm a 1222 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:12,550 geologist go ask a biologist so I'd 1223 00:54:15,810 --> 00:54:14,050 asked my biology friends and they'd say 1224 00:54:16,890 --> 00:54:15,820 hey don't ask me I deal with cells I 1225 00:54:19,140 --> 00:54:16,900 don't know anything about magnetic 1226 00:54:22,830 --> 00:54:19,150 fields and that's a perfect example of 1227 00:54:24,690 --> 00:54:22,840 where the compartmentalized science was 1228 00:54:26,910 --> 00:54:24,700 not serving us and now we know that 1229 00:54:28,500 --> 00:54:26,920 every cell in our body is influenced by 1230 00:54:32,070 --> 00:54:28,510 the shift of the magnetic fields of the 1231 00:54:34,890 --> 00:54:32,080 planet high magnetic fields we are more 1232 00:54:36,510 --> 00:54:34,900 cooperative less aggressive and more 1233 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:36,520 peaceful more willing to solve our 1234 00:54:40,220 --> 00:54:38,170 problems working together low magnetic 1235 00:54:42,390 --> 00:54:40,230 fields we become much more aggressive 1236 00:54:45,570 --> 00:54:42,400 and that's important when you look at 1237 00:54:47,580 --> 00:54:45,580 the cycles of where Earth is and how the 1238 00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:47,590 magnetic fields are part of those cycles 1239 00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:49,710 do you think that we've got one minute 1240 00:54:57,390 --> 00:54:54,970 is this something that it was suggesting 1241 00:55:00,240 --> 00:54:57,400 the Egyptians is this something that the 1242 00:55:03,420 --> 00:55:00,250 ancients were cognizant of that that 1243 00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:03,430 they fully understood this relationship 1244 00:55:09,510 --> 00:55:06,880 between us and the planet what I found 1245 00:55:13,290 --> 00:55:09,520 is that those who've come before us the 1246 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:13,300 the ancient Mayans Toltec Olmec the 1247 00:55:15,540 --> 00:55:14,050 Egyptians 1248 00:55:19,050 --> 00:55:15,550 I've spent a lot of time with the 1249 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:19,060 Tibetans modern-day Tibetans studying 1250 00:55:24,900 --> 00:55:21,130 ancient texts Jimmy they did not 1251 00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:24,910 separate science from spirituality from 1252 00:55:30,510 --> 00:55:27,730 art and think about that if you don't 1253 00:55:32,310 --> 00:55:30,520 separate those when you see something 1254 00:55:33,900 --> 00:55:32,320 that's beautiful that moves you inside 1255 00:55:35,670 --> 00:55:33,910 you have a feeling you're changing the 1256 00:55:36,810 --> 00:55:35,680 chemistry in your body based on that 1257 00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:36,820 feeling 1258 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:40,240 and that becomes a science and when you 1259 00:55:44,790 --> 00:55:42,370 begin to merge science and spirituality 1260 00:55:46,500 --> 00:55:44,800 in art you begin to think of your world 1261 00:55:48,540 --> 00:55:46,510 in yourself and your relationship to 1262 00:55:50,700 --> 00:55:48,550 other people very differently and I 1263 00:55:52,380 --> 00:55:50,710 think with the breakdown in the 1264 00:55:54,630 --> 00:55:52,390 traditional boundaries of the sciences 1265 00:55:56,790 --> 00:55:54,640 we're moving in that direction let's 1266 00:55:57,240 --> 00:55:56,800 take our break right here this is fade 1267 00:55:58,650 --> 00:55:57,250 to black 1268 00:56:00,030 --> 00:55:58,660 I'm your host Jimmy Church our guest 1269 00:56:01,980 --> 00:56:00,040 tonight Gregg Braden fascinating 1270 00:56:03,690 --> 00:56:01,990 conversation we're gonna pick up while 1271 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:03,700 we're leaving off right now fade to 1272 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:05,490 black I'm the game changer network and 1273 00:56:13,140 --> 00:56:09,130 kg are a the planet stay with us we'll 1274 00:56:51,070 --> 00:56:47,820 [Music] 1275 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:53,420 welcome back fade to black coming to 1276 00:56:57,260 --> 00:56:54,930 church I guess tonight gregg braden and 1277 00:56:59,150 --> 00:56:57,270 you can follow me on twitter @ JT radio 1278 00:57:01,910 --> 00:56:59,160 the conversations going down 1279 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:01,920 hashtag f2v in the sandbox we're gonna 1280 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:03,810 go through a few thousand tweets tonight 1281 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:06,240 during the show get Greg involved to add 1282 00:57:12,110 --> 00:57:08,690 Gregg Braden right there on Twitter 1283 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:12,120 Gregg going back to let's circle back 1284 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:13,530 for a second oh by the way I was just 1285 00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:16,290 listening to the commercial for the 1286 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:19,440 conscious life Expo and that ancient 1287 00:57:23,060 --> 00:57:21,810 secrets panel I might have an empty seat 1288 00:57:26,750 --> 00:57:23,070 if they're going to be there Friday 1289 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:26,760 night I have to talk to my my office I 1290 00:57:29,810 --> 00:57:28,170 was make a promise they can't keep but I 1291 00:57:37,700 --> 00:57:29,820 heard that as well and I thought it was 1292 00:57:41,450 --> 00:57:37,710 very intriguing going back to this 1293 00:57:44,210 --> 00:57:41,460 crisper situation and the fusing of 1294 00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:44,220 chromosome 2 I has always intrigued me 1295 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:48,930 and and 7 as well if we go back 200,000 1296 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:51,930 years what have we you know if it wasn't 1297 00:57:59,870 --> 00:57:57,210 nature that did this some type of high 1298 00:58:01,910 --> 00:57:59,880 technology was involved whether it was a 1299 00:58:04,570 --> 00:58:01,920 past civilization here on the planet 1300 00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:04,580 which I could I could totally embrace or 1301 00:58:12,290 --> 00:58:10,110 a drive by of some kind of civilization 1302 00:58:13,070 --> 00:58:12,300 that came by and saw us and did a 1303 00:58:17,180 --> 00:58:13,080 snip-snip 1304 00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:17,190 but if it wasn't done by nature we are 1305 00:58:21,740 --> 00:58:19,370 opening up the door to some pretty 1306 00:58:25,070 --> 00:58:21,750 fantastical theories here of which I'm 1307 00:58:27,410 --> 00:58:25,080 open to any of them but for us to just 1308 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:27,420 appear here or 200,000 years ago that 1309 00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:29,010 that doesn't make sense there's got to 1310 00:58:33,350 --> 00:58:32,040 be something logical well you know it it 1311 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:33,360 depends on who you talk to because 1312 00:58:38,300 --> 00:58:36,690 everybody has a story when you look at 1313 00:58:41,930 --> 00:58:38,310 the ancient traditions the ancient 1314 00:58:43,490 --> 00:58:41,940 Sumerians they had a story the 1990s I 1315 00:58:45,620 --> 00:58:43,500 had the opportunity to tour with 1316 00:58:48,050 --> 00:58:45,630 zecharia sitchin when when he was still 1317 00:58:50,270 --> 00:58:48,060 in this world and his work his 1318 00:58:53,420 --> 00:58:50,280 interpretation the translations and 1319 00:58:55,610 --> 00:58:53,430 interpretations the Sumerian texts told 1320 00:58:59,840 --> 00:58:55,620 the story that he interpreted as as 1321 00:59:01,610 --> 00:58:59,850 genetic manipulation and that was you 1322 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:01,620 know his perspective when you go to the 1323 00:59:06,470 --> 00:59:04,170 ancient Egyptians they have their story 1324 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:06,480 that we are we're not from here that 1325 00:59:10,370 --> 00:59:09,090 we're deeply related to the star system 1326 00:59:12,410 --> 00:59:10,380 Sirius 1327 00:59:14,300 --> 00:59:12,420 there's a whole story around that you 1328 00:59:17,660 --> 00:59:14,310 know you go to the aboriginals and and 1329 00:59:22,370 --> 00:59:17,670 you look at their 60,000 plus your 1330 00:59:25,580 --> 00:59:22,380 continuous lineage of history and story 1331 00:59:27,650 --> 00:59:25,590 and their their DNA lineage and they 1332 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:27,660 their creation story says that we are 1333 00:59:34,730 --> 00:59:33,090 the product of of we are related to 1334 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:34,740 other worlds and the we are the product 1335 00:59:38,750 --> 00:59:36,570 of those otherworldly relationships 1336 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:38,760 Hindu traditions say the same thing and 1337 00:59:42,020 --> 00:59:40,650 you know ultimately what I find 1338 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:42,030 interesting Jim even the Christian 1339 00:59:47,450 --> 00:59:44,610 traditions I think most of our listeners 1340 00:59:49,220 --> 00:59:47,460 know that the the modern Bible is the 1341 00:59:52,670 --> 00:59:49,230 product of a series of edits that 1342 00:59:55,070 --> 00:59:52,680 happened around the 4th century and we 1343 00:59:57,770 --> 00:59:55,080 know that those edits occurred because 1344 01:00:00,350 --> 00:59:57,780 in the mid 20th century we found the 1345 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:00,360 oldest records of the unedited text we 1346 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:02,610 found the the Dead Sea Scrolls were the 1347 01:00:08,150 --> 01:00:04,650 oldest records of the Old Testament in 1348 01:00:10,970 --> 01:00:08,160 the Torah and the the naga hamadi 1349 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:10,980 library in egypt was the oldest records 1350 01:00:15,620 --> 01:00:13,490 of the New Testament and we found 1351 01:00:17,450 --> 01:00:15,630 biblical books that had never been seen 1352 01:00:20,590 --> 01:00:17,460 because they were edited in that fourth 1353 01:00:23,030 --> 01:00:20,600 century panel the the Council of Nicaea 1354 01:00:24,650 --> 01:00:23,040 you know during the time of the emperor 1355 01:00:28,130 --> 01:00:24,660 constantine i talked about that some of 1356 01:00:29,630 --> 01:00:28,140 my books when you look at those and when 1357 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:29,640 you look at the indigenous traditions 1358 01:00:34,700 --> 01:00:32,010 all of them say that we are the product 1359 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:34,710 of an intervention and what's 1360 01:00:40,820 --> 01:00:37,410 interesting is they all say that they 1361 01:00:43,430 --> 01:00:40,830 are responsible for us being here they 1362 01:00:45,410 --> 01:00:43,440 it's always multiple beings whether it's 1363 01:00:48,410 --> 01:00:45,420 a low hem in the Christian traditions 1364 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:48,420 which is a plural or in the Mayan 1365 01:00:54,140 --> 01:00:51,210 traditions whether it's the the multiple 1366 01:00:56,330 --> 01:00:54,150 beings that that went through multiple 1367 01:00:59,180 --> 01:00:56,340 iterations and tried different materials 1368 01:01:02,090 --> 01:00:59,190 to create us that the first the first 1369 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:02,100 humans were not able to sustain the 1370 01:01:06,010 --> 01:01:03,810 power of the soul and in the physical 1371 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:06,020 body they had to find the right formula 1372 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:08,370 and they tried different materials I 1373 01:01:12,410 --> 01:01:10,410 mean these are common themes that you 1374 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:12,420 see run through these ancient traditions 1375 01:01:18,289 --> 01:01:15,930 is it science absolutely not but when 1376 01:01:21,349 --> 01:01:18,299 you find a common theme 1377 01:01:23,779 --> 01:01:21,359 that runs across so many traditions 1378 01:01:26,510 --> 01:01:23,789 covering so such vast periods of time 1379 01:01:28,730 --> 01:01:26,520 it's kind of like the flood story you 1380 01:01:30,740 --> 01:01:28,740 know every every ancient tradition 1381 01:01:33,609 --> 01:01:30,750 shared the flood story from their unique 1382 01:01:35,870 --> 01:01:33,619 perspective so they all vary from 1383 01:01:37,609 --> 01:01:35,880 community to community but the bottom 1384 01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:37,619 line was they all experienced the flood 1385 01:01:41,059 --> 01:01:39,240 and as a geologist I can tell you the 1386 01:01:45,140 --> 01:01:41,069 flood actually happened we we have the 1387 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:45,150 geologic evidence of that flood so so 1388 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:47,250 the idea of an intervention I'm the 1389 01:01:53,150 --> 01:01:48,960 first to Sage and I've got my personal 1390 01:01:55,430 --> 01:01:53,160 feelings about what has happened but as 1391 01:01:57,559 --> 01:01:55,440 a scientist I have to say I don't know 1392 01:02:00,950 --> 01:01:57,569 and that's to me that's the whole point 1393 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:00,960 we won't know until we unleash the inlet 1394 01:02:06,380 --> 01:02:04,170 and the technology and the passion of 1395 01:02:08,690 --> 01:02:06,390 these young people that are dedicating 1396 01:02:11,510 --> 01:02:08,700 their lives now to science to answer the 1397 01:02:13,250 --> 01:02:11,520 questions until we free them to follow 1398 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:13,260 the evidence to where it leads rather 1399 01:02:21,130 --> 01:02:17,250 than than forcing them to to preserve 1400 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:21,140 this this story that protects 1401 01:02:26,420 --> 01:02:23,970 corporations protects religion protects 1402 01:02:29,029 --> 01:02:26,430 academics but it's not our story so I 1403 01:02:30,019 --> 01:02:29,039 think we've reached a point in our 1404 01:02:32,539 --> 01:02:30,029 evolution 1405 01:02:34,279 --> 01:02:32,549 we're globalizing a planet eight billion 1406 01:02:37,700 --> 01:02:34,289 people learning how to live together and 1407 01:02:39,260 --> 01:02:37,710 we were forcing together men and women 1408 01:02:40,940 --> 01:02:39,270 and we think differently and were 1409 01:02:42,589 --> 01:02:40,950 forcing other religions that think 1410 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:42,599 differently and we're crossing 1411 01:02:46,940 --> 01:02:45,450 traditional borders of oceans and 1412 01:02:50,089 --> 01:02:46,950 mountains in ways that we never did 1413 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:50,099 before were globalized society and we're 1414 01:02:55,670 --> 01:02:53,039 asking ourselves to accommodate this 1415 01:02:58,700 --> 01:02:55,680 globalization through a thinking based 1416 01:03:01,160 --> 01:02:58,710 in separation through Darwin's ideas of 1417 01:03:06,049 --> 01:03:01,170 competition and conflict and scarcity 1418 01:03:08,210 --> 01:03:06,059 and and as we is we allow the science to 1419 01:03:10,460 --> 01:03:08,220 reveal these truths and as we embrace 1420 01:03:11,930 --> 01:03:10,470 what the science is telling us the 1421 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:11,940 science is telling us nature's based 1422 01:03:16,519 --> 01:03:14,490 upon cooperation not competition that's 1423 01:03:18,140 --> 01:03:16,529 important that was a message I shared 1424 01:03:20,299 --> 01:03:18,150 the United Nations with Bruce Lipton 1425 01:03:21,890 --> 01:03:20,309 when we spoke there the science is 1426 01:03:25,690 --> 01:03:21,900 telling us we're not the product of an 1427 01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:25,700 accident a fluke you know some random 1428 01:03:30,859 --> 01:03:28,410 mutations in biology and that's 1429 01:03:31,610 --> 01:03:30,869 important because the value of life 1430 01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:31,620 Jimmy 1431 01:03:37,490 --> 01:03:34,830 been cheapened by the thinking that we 1432 01:03:39,490 --> 01:03:37,500 are the product of some accident and and 1433 01:03:42,590 --> 01:03:39,500 that's all it is and when we begin to 1434 01:03:46,370 --> 01:03:42,600 understand that there's some intelligent 1435 01:03:48,110 --> 01:03:46,380 intervention that appears to underlie 1436 01:03:49,850 --> 01:03:48,120 our existence we begin to think about 1437 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:49,860 ourselves differently and it doesn't 1438 01:03:54,620 --> 01:03:51,210 have to be about religion it's just 1439 01:03:58,010 --> 01:03:54,630 about the respect for the potential that 1440 01:03:59,570 --> 01:03:58,020 we come to this earth with I'm going to 1441 01:04:03,020 --> 01:03:59,580 share a quick story yeah absolutely 1442 01:04:04,310 --> 01:04:03,030 absolutely over the break you gave me a 1443 01:04:06,890 --> 01:04:04,320 few minutes to reflect on the 1444 01:04:08,540 --> 01:04:06,900 conversation we had before the break you 1445 01:04:10,670 --> 01:04:08,550 asked me if I thought the technology 1446 01:04:14,150 --> 01:04:10,680 happened too quickly you know beginning 1447 01:04:15,770 --> 01:04:14,160 in 95 and moving forward and it's it's a 1448 01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:15,780 it's a good question it's a big question 1449 01:04:19,790 --> 01:04:18,210 and I hesitated because I knew we were 1450 01:04:22,670 --> 01:04:19,800 running up to a break and that's why I 1451 01:04:25,910 --> 01:04:22,680 didn't share this story a few years ago 1452 01:04:26,810 --> 01:04:25,920 I was hiking in a remote area in the 1453 01:04:29,090 --> 01:04:26,820 Four Corners area 1454 01:04:33,050 --> 01:04:29,100 it's an archaeological site as known as 1455 01:04:35,030 --> 01:04:33,060 Chaco Canyon New Mexico and I met a 1456 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:35,040 native man that was hiking there at the 1457 01:04:40,820 --> 01:04:38,370 same time and for a lot of reasons 1458 01:04:43,250 --> 01:04:40,830 rather than passing by one another we 1459 01:04:45,650 --> 01:04:43,260 struck up a conversation and he began to 1460 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:45,660 tell me a story and I think his story 1461 01:04:50,420 --> 01:04:47,490 has direct relevance on what we're 1462 01:04:53,150 --> 01:04:50,430 talking about here he he said Greg a 1463 01:04:55,370 --> 01:04:53,160 long time ago he said the people of the 1464 01:04:56,900 --> 01:04:55,380 earth lived very differently than they 1465 01:04:59,480 --> 01:04:56,910 do today they were close to the earth 1466 01:05:01,190 --> 01:04:59,490 and they remembered who they were he 1467 01:05:03,830 --> 01:05:01,200 said that then something happened and 1468 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:03,840 nobody knows exactly what that something 1469 01:05:08,570 --> 01:05:05,610 was he said but the people of the earth 1470 01:05:10,550 --> 01:05:08,580 began to forget who they are their 1471 01:05:14,030 --> 01:05:10,560 relationship to the earth and to the 1472 01:05:16,970 --> 01:05:14,040 cosmos and to themselves and they so 1473 01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:16,980 longed for that connection even though 1474 01:05:19,310 --> 01:05:18,480 they didn't know what it was they felt 1475 01:05:21,350 --> 01:05:19,320 empty inside 1476 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:21,360 he said they so longed for that 1477 01:05:28,070 --> 01:05:23,970 connection that they began to build 1478 01:05:31,670 --> 01:05:28,080 outside of their bodies the machines 1479 01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:31,680 that actually mimic the potential the 1480 01:05:35,750 --> 01:05:33,690 capabilities that they have inside of 1481 01:05:37,970 --> 01:05:35,760 their bodies and he said we live in that 1482 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:37,980 world today he said we live in the world 1483 01:05:43,730 --> 01:05:39,930 we're building the machine to the 1484 01:05:44,380 --> 01:05:43,740 devices that reflect what we already do 1485 01:05:46,809 --> 01:05:44,390 in the 1486 01:05:50,170 --> 01:05:46,819 cells of our body and he said will 1487 01:05:52,660 --> 01:05:50,180 continue to clutter our world with more 1488 01:05:55,660 --> 01:05:52,670 and more technology and our lives will 1489 01:05:58,990 --> 01:05:55,670 become more and more cluttered until we 1490 01:06:01,839 --> 01:05:59,000 realize that what we are building is us 1491 01:06:04,089 --> 01:06:01,849 and then we'll let that technology go in 1492 01:06:05,950 --> 01:06:04,099 the outer world because we will become 1493 01:06:11,140 --> 01:06:05,960 more sophisticated technologically 1494 01:06:13,870 --> 01:06:11,150 inside is he referencing a form of 1495 01:06:15,430 --> 01:06:13,880 entropy you know that we've gotten I 1496 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:15,440 think I think it could be you know I 1497 01:06:19,990 --> 01:06:17,930 worked during the 80s during the Cold 1498 01:06:21,809 --> 01:06:20,000 War years I worked in the defense 1499 01:06:25,660 --> 01:06:21,819 industry and and the aerospace industry 1500 01:06:27,700 --> 01:06:25,670 as a software developer projects - one 1501 01:06:30,730 --> 01:06:27,710 of them was called SDI Star Wars Defense 1502 01:06:32,769 --> 01:06:30,740 Initiative and I've seen tremendously 1503 01:06:35,799 --> 01:06:32,779 sophisticated technology as the reason 1504 01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:35,809 I'm sharing this and if sophisticated 1505 01:06:40,390 --> 01:06:37,670 this Jimmy I've never seen anything 1506 01:06:42,759 --> 01:06:40,400 built outside of us that we don't 1507 01:06:44,710 --> 01:06:42,769 already do from within you know every 1508 01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:44,720 cell in our body is essentially an 1509 01:06:48,910 --> 01:06:46,089 electrical circuit and we've got 1510 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:48,920 capacitors we've got resistors we 1511 01:06:54,670 --> 01:06:51,410 receive photons of light we emit photons 1512 01:06:56,289 --> 01:06:54,680 of light we store information we 1513 01:06:58,329 --> 01:06:56,299 retrieve information we release 1514 01:07:00,670 --> 01:06:58,339 information and the internet that we're 1515 01:07:03,069 --> 01:07:00,680 building reflects the way that we share 1516 01:07:04,539 --> 01:07:03,079 information on a quantum level and the 1517 01:07:06,999 --> 01:07:04,549 computers that we've built and the way 1518 01:07:08,710 --> 01:07:07,009 we store information and computers is 1519 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:08,720 reflecting the way information stored in 1520 01:07:13,900 --> 01:07:12,170 ourselves so when I I recognize that and 1521 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:13,910 I think back to what my native friends 1522 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:16,490 said to me and then your question you 1523 01:07:21,039 --> 01:07:17,930 asked Greg do you think it happened too 1524 01:07:25,900 --> 01:07:21,049 fast I there there's a school of thought 1525 01:07:29,829 --> 01:07:25,910 Jimmy that our creations the things that 1526 01:07:33,279 --> 01:07:29,839 we create our music our film our video 1527 01:07:35,740 --> 01:07:33,289 our books our sculpture our art are more 1528 01:07:39,420 --> 01:07:35,750 than diversions that the things that we 1529 01:07:42,460 --> 01:07:39,430 create around us our consciousness 1530 01:07:45,700 --> 01:07:42,470 informing us of what we need to know 1531 01:07:49,089 --> 01:07:45,710 about ourselves in a certain period of 1532 01:07:51,789 --> 01:07:49,099 time and from that perspective when we 1533 01:07:53,950 --> 01:07:51,799 look at this this explosion of 1534 01:07:58,060 --> 01:07:53,960 Technology I can't help but think maybe 1535 01:07:59,650 --> 01:07:58,070 this is us asking ourselves to remember 1536 01:08:03,490 --> 01:07:59,660 who we are and this extraordinary 1537 01:08:06,220 --> 01:08:03,500 potential that we have so that we don't 1538 01:08:07,510 --> 01:08:06,230 destroy ourselves in the absence of the 1539 01:08:11,310 --> 01:08:07,520 knowledge that we embrace this 1540 01:08:13,630 --> 01:08:11,320 technology and and learn what it means 1541 01:08:16,450 --> 01:08:13,640 again I said this earlier the better we 1542 01:08:18,610 --> 01:08:16,460 know ourselves the less we fear and when 1543 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:18,620 we're not afraid of the unknown that's 1544 01:08:24,789 --> 01:08:23,210 when we can freely we can freely love we 1545 01:08:30,250 --> 01:08:24,799 can love the planet we can love one 1546 01:08:31,660 --> 01:08:30,260 another we have the passion to make the 1547 01:08:35,470 --> 01:08:31,670 world a better place rather than 1548 01:08:37,750 --> 01:08:35,480 fighting for survival and and trying to 1549 01:08:40,059 --> 01:08:37,760 have enough because we believe we live 1550 01:08:41,559 --> 01:08:40,069 in this world of scarcity so I think all 1551 01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:41,569 this you know it's a big conversation 1552 01:08:47,020 --> 01:08:43,510 and I think it all plays out together 1553 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:47,030 but you know it's interesting if if we 1554 01:08:53,110 --> 01:08:50,810 think about our creations as something 1555 01:08:54,789 --> 01:08:53,120 more than just diversions if we say if 1556 01:08:57,250 --> 01:08:54,799 we say ok I bring every movie that's 1557 01:08:58,809 --> 01:08:57,260 made and the music that's out there and 1558 01:09:01,170 --> 01:08:58,819 I'm still a musician and I'm fascinated 1559 01:09:03,940 --> 01:09:01,180 by what's happening with music today and 1560 01:09:07,870 --> 01:09:03,950 the art and the music and in the books 1561 01:09:09,579 --> 01:09:07,880 if all of those things are us asking 1562 01:09:12,550 --> 01:09:09,589 ourselves to remember something about 1563 01:09:15,460 --> 01:09:12,560 ourselves what would those some things 1564 01:09:18,030 --> 01:09:15,470 be and although all the creations are 1565 01:09:20,230 --> 01:09:18,040 different if you look at the themes you 1566 01:09:21,670 --> 01:09:20,240 movies seem to come out and fiends 1567 01:09:24,660 --> 01:09:21,680 remember the matrix the very first 1568 01:09:27,789 --> 01:09:24,670 matrix came out was hugely and 1569 01:09:30,190 --> 01:09:27,799 unexpectedly successful and it was 1570 01:09:32,770 --> 01:09:30,200 telling us that there's a world that we 1571 01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:32,780 can't see but it influences the world 1572 01:09:36,940 --> 01:09:34,430 that we can see and that we're a part of 1573 01:09:39,010 --> 01:09:36,950 that world and in movies like Inception 1574 01:09:41,890 --> 01:09:39,020 and how our dreams are part of that an 1575 01:09:45,070 --> 01:09:41,900 avatar our relationship to nature there 1576 01:09:46,690 --> 01:09:45,080 were hugely successful movies and and 1577 01:09:49,809 --> 01:09:46,700 they're all telling us that there's 1578 01:09:52,030 --> 01:09:49,819 something more to our existence that is 1579 01:09:53,980 --> 01:09:52,040 available to us if if we're open and 1580 01:09:56,590 --> 01:09:53,990 willing to accept what those those some 1581 01:09:58,270 --> 01:09:56,600 things are and I think I think there's a 1582 01:10:00,189 --> 01:09:58,280 beautiful symmetry in everything that's 1583 01:10:01,930 --> 01:10:00,199 playing out right and and 1584 01:10:04,870 --> 01:10:01,940 I couldn't agree with you more there's a 1585 01:10:07,419 --> 01:10:04,880 reason why all of that resonated with 1586 01:10:09,250 --> 01:10:07,429 everybody worldwide as quickly as it did 1587 01:10:13,209 --> 01:10:09,260 because we're all seeking these these 1588 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:13,219 answers and I wanted to jump back to the 1589 01:10:21,850 --> 01:10:17,570 DNA question in the DNA police if if the 1590 01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:21,860 altering of of chromosomes and merging I 1591 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:24,080 should say above two in the altering of 1592 01:10:31,750 --> 01:10:28,370 seven if that happened that's one thing 1593 01:10:33,870 --> 01:10:31,760 and and we are who we are today but 1594 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:33,880 going back and using CRISPR technology 1595 01:10:42,970 --> 01:10:38,570 not to increase our IQ or choose eye 1596 01:10:46,650 --> 01:10:42,980 color right and and you know design our 1597 01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:46,660 children but to go back and remove 1598 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:51,110 diseases and cancers and and you know 1599 01:10:58,209 --> 01:10:53,690 muscular dystrophy or or whatever and 1600 01:11:02,500 --> 01:10:58,219 remove those from our DNA sequences is 1601 01:11:04,660 --> 01:11:02,510 that okay this is this is where we began 1602 01:11:06,310 --> 01:11:04,670 the last hour yeah I think the 1603 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:06,320 technology is never right wrong good or 1604 01:11:11,770 --> 01:11:10,010 bad I just spoke with with a student in 1605 01:11:14,110 --> 01:11:11,780 Dubai this morning and we had this 1606 01:11:15,850 --> 01:11:14,120 conversation you know the splitting the 1607 01:11:18,250 --> 01:11:15,860 atom I live in northern New Mexico just 1608 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:18,260 down the road from Los Alamos where with 1609 01:11:23,740 --> 01:11:20,810 you know the Manhattan Project occurred 1610 01:11:25,689 --> 01:11:23,750 and I'm fascinated by this because the 1611 01:11:27,729 --> 01:11:25,699 the technology was developed it could 1612 01:11:29,410 --> 01:11:27,739 have gone so many different ways Jimmy 1613 01:11:31,979 --> 01:11:29,420 but if it was developed during the time 1614 01:11:35,979 --> 01:11:31,989 of war so of course it was applied for a 1615 01:11:37,900 --> 01:11:35,989 wartime application I think there are a 1616 01:11:39,910 --> 01:11:37,910 lot of good things that can come from 1617 01:11:42,070 --> 01:11:39,920 CRISPR technology and even the chips 1618 01:11:45,189 --> 01:11:42,080 that we were talking about earlier Elon 1619 01:11:47,919 --> 01:11:45,199 Musk chips you know if if you are a 1620 01:11:51,189 --> 01:11:47,929 young man or young woman on the 1621 01:11:53,229 --> 01:11:51,199 battlefield in Afghanistan and you are 1622 01:11:55,959 --> 01:11:53,239 in a vehicle it's been hit by an AED and 1623 01:11:57,729 --> 01:11:55,969 you're you are now disabled and all of a 1624 01:12:00,520 --> 01:11:57,739 sudden you have the ability to use your 1625 01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:00,530 arms and legs again because of this 1626 01:12:06,430 --> 01:12:03,530 technology what what greater gift could 1627 01:12:08,340 --> 01:12:06,440 there be right and and I have no problem 1628 01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:08,350 with I was all to use it recreationally 1629 01:12:13,150 --> 01:12:11,449 we're we're kids just say man I want 1630 01:12:14,610 --> 01:12:13,160 that chip and playing my brains you know 1631 01:12:17,649 --> 01:12:14,620 so I can play video 1632 01:12:20,860 --> 01:12:17,659 without having to you know wire up to my 1633 01:12:22,780 --> 01:12:20,870 computer it sounds like fun at first 1634 01:12:24,970 --> 01:12:22,790 what our young people are not being 1635 01:12:29,380 --> 01:12:24,980 taught is that there's something so 1636 01:12:32,590 --> 01:12:29,390 unique so rare and so precious about the 1637 01:12:35,380 --> 01:12:32,600 soft technology the technologically 1638 01:12:38,350 --> 01:12:35,390 advanced highly sophisticated biology 1639 01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:38,360 that is their bodies they're not taught 1640 01:12:45,669 --> 01:12:41,330 that and when we begin to replace that 1641 01:12:47,860 --> 01:12:45,679 with machines with chips and we do it on 1642 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:47,870 a large scale basis on a generational 1643 01:12:52,689 --> 01:12:51,290 basis pretty soon if you look again look 1644 01:12:56,790 --> 01:12:52,699 at what the science fiction is telling 1645 01:13:01,229 --> 01:12:56,800 us we are we always see these films of 1646 01:13:04,540 --> 01:13:01,239 future races that have lost or given up 1647 01:13:07,660 --> 01:13:04,550 some aspect of their humaneness that 1648 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:07,670 they long for again coming back in time 1649 01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:09,890 you know in some of the movies or coming 1650 01:13:14,530 --> 01:13:12,770 from another planet they're they're much 1651 01:13:16,630 --> 01:13:14,540 more advanced than we are but they lost 1652 01:13:19,390 --> 01:13:16,640 the ability for emotion for example or 1653 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:19,400 they lost the ability to to conceive a 1654 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:21,890 new life inside of a body it's all done 1655 01:13:28,450 --> 01:13:24,650 outside the body so I'm I'm saying I 1656 01:13:30,250 --> 01:13:28,460 think we need to know what it is that 1657 01:13:33,610 --> 01:13:30,260 we're giving away before we give away 1658 01:13:35,350 --> 01:13:33,620 our humaneness we need to embrace what 1659 01:13:38,290 --> 01:13:35,360 it fully means to be human 1660 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:38,300 and then we have a choice we're no what 1661 01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:39,770 we're giving away if we choose to give 1662 01:13:45,270 --> 01:13:43,310 it away rather than just allowing these 1663 01:13:47,709 --> 01:13:45,280 things to become a part of our lives 1664 01:13:49,540 --> 01:13:47,719 without really even knowing what what 1665 01:13:54,250 --> 01:13:49,550 they mean why do we have that type of 1666 01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:54,260 amnesia why is it that we absolutely are 1667 01:13:59,860 --> 01:13:57,890 so quick to forget what we have learned 1668 01:14:03,939 --> 01:13:59,870 from the past and we can do it in a 1669 01:14:05,709 --> 01:14:03,949 matter of weeks it seems I think a lot 1670 01:14:08,380 --> 01:14:05,719 of it is it goes back to what we call 1671 01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:08,390 our story there is a battle for our 1672 01:14:12,850 --> 01:14:10,130 story there's a battle for our thoughts 1673 01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:12,860 it's playing out in in the media I think 1674 01:14:16,330 --> 01:14:15,050 we all know that but it goes deeper than 1675 01:14:19,149 --> 01:14:16,340 that there's a battle for our very 1676 01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:19,159 humanist and most people don't have the 1677 01:14:24,399 --> 01:14:23,090 time to even embrace the fact that this 1678 01:14:25,899 --> 01:14:24,409 battle is playing out they don't have 1679 01:14:27,620 --> 01:14:25,909 the time to research it and it's not 1680 01:14:30,260 --> 01:14:27,630 being carried in the mainstream 1681 01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:30,270 right well you're really seeing this I 1682 01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:32,610 gave an example earlier in Japan for 1683 01:14:36,620 --> 01:14:34,230 example Japan has always kind of pushed 1684 01:14:39,350 --> 01:14:36,630 the edge with technology and sexuality 1685 01:14:42,410 --> 01:14:39,360 and things like that young couples are 1686 01:14:45,410 --> 01:14:42,420 opting for AI babies artificially 1687 01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:45,420 intelligent robotic babies in place of 1688 01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:47,159 the real babies and they're opting for 1689 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:52,170 digital relationships rather than you 1690 01:14:58,490 --> 01:14:56,130 know body to body human relationships as 1691 01:15:00,379 --> 01:14:58,500 a practical matter it's just easier for 1692 01:15:02,270 --> 01:15:00,389 them to do that they have a strong work 1693 01:15:04,129 --> 01:15:02,280 ethic they're very busy they don't have 1694 01:15:07,370 --> 01:15:04,139 time for these things but the 1695 01:15:09,050 --> 01:15:07,380 correlations along with them embracing 1696 01:15:10,669 --> 01:15:09,060 these technologies they're one of the 1697 01:15:14,030 --> 01:15:10,679 countries where the birth rate the 1698 01:15:16,939 --> 01:15:14,040 sterility rate of men is increasing the 1699 01:15:19,430 --> 01:15:16,949 infertility of women is increasing the 1700 01:15:21,500 --> 01:15:19,440 birth rate is declining and they're now 1701 01:15:23,270 --> 01:15:21,510 the mortality rate is greater than the 1702 01:15:25,550 --> 01:15:23,280 birth rate so they're losing population 1703 01:15:26,990 --> 01:15:25,560 and now they're all of a sudden they're 1704 01:15:28,790 --> 01:15:27,000 playing catch-up they're saying wow you 1705 01:15:31,430 --> 01:15:28,800 know how did this happen and why didn't 1706 01:15:33,290 --> 01:15:31,440 we why didn't we see this but I think 1707 01:15:35,149 --> 01:15:33,300 it's you know there's there's a human 1708 01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:35,159 tenant that says use it or lose it and 1709 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:38,370 if we're not using right this biological 1710 01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:40,650 technology begins to atrophy and once 1711 01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:43,260 it's gone it's gone and I think that's 1712 01:15:47,510 --> 01:15:44,850 something that we need to be aware of 1713 01:15:49,669 --> 01:15:47,520 I'm not saying it's wrong I'm saying we 1714 01:15:51,709 --> 01:15:49,679 need to be aware of what we're giving 1715 01:15:53,570 --> 01:15:51,719 away before we give it away yeah they 1716 01:15:56,689 --> 01:15:53,580 didn't understand you're absolutely 1717 01:15:58,399 --> 01:15:56,699 right Japan didn't understand I get the 1718 01:16:01,189 --> 01:15:58,409 way that they embrace technology I 1719 01:16:03,970 --> 01:16:01,199 totally understand that but they are now 1720 01:16:06,410 --> 01:16:03,980 looking at the real numbers that a 1721 01:16:10,910 --> 01:16:06,420 generation from now they're not going to 1722 01:16:13,939 --> 01:16:10,920 have workers you know well I will talk 1723 01:16:17,570 --> 01:16:13,949 about this at the export and I've got 1724 01:16:19,430 --> 01:16:17,580 the the graphs are very very graphic I 1725 01:16:23,060 --> 01:16:19,440 mean you can't argue with the graphs 1726 01:16:25,340 --> 01:16:23,070 when you see the the steep drop in birth 1727 01:16:28,430 --> 01:16:25,350 rate and how it compares the mortality 1728 01:16:29,899 --> 01:16:28,440 rate and how that compares with the rise 1729 01:16:32,330 --> 01:16:29,909 of the technology and the way the 1730 01:16:36,050 --> 01:16:32,340 technology is being used I think it's 1731 01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:36,060 it's like the canary in the coal mine so 1732 01:16:41,209 --> 01:16:38,489 you know these are all examples the 1733 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:41,219 technology it's not good or bad 1734 01:16:46,130 --> 01:16:43,650 it's how its applied and we are now how 1735 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:46,140 can we make those decisions until we 1736 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:48,090 know who we are and that's the whole 1737 01:16:52,550 --> 01:16:50,730 point and the whole point science is 1738 01:16:54,890 --> 01:16:52,560 trying to tell us they're giving us the 1739 01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:54,900 answers we said science tell us who we 1740 01:16:58,910 --> 01:16:56,610 are where do we come from how do we get 1741 01:17:01,280 --> 01:16:58,920 here what is what is our potential do we 1742 01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:01,290 have the potential can everybody be a 1743 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:04,530 Jason Bourne for example with instant 1744 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:07,170 Total Recall and super cognition and the 1745 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:09,930 answers is pretty much yes there are 1746 01:17:14,900 --> 01:17:12,090 techniques we teach in our programs I'll 1747 01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:14,910 actually do some of the expo and the 1748 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:16,800 intelligence services use the same 1749 01:17:22,189 --> 01:17:17,690 techniques 1750 01:17:23,990 --> 01:17:22,199 it's about accessing this biology the 1751 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:24,000 the neurons in the heart in the brain 1752 01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:26,489 and harmonizing them through what's 1753 01:17:32,209 --> 01:17:29,010 called coherence and being able to apply 1754 01:17:34,250 --> 01:17:32,219 that coherence in our lives and in very 1755 01:17:38,209 --> 01:17:34,260 unique ways as well as the longevity 1756 01:17:42,290 --> 01:17:38,219 enzymes that that give us the ability to 1757 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:42,300 to not just not just heal our bodies but 1758 01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:44,489 to actually reverse the biological 1759 01:17:48,530 --> 01:17:46,890 markers of Aging now chronologically 1760 01:17:51,709 --> 01:17:48,540 will always be a year older than we were 1761 01:17:54,229 --> 01:17:51,719 a year ago but biologically it is not 1762 01:17:56,270 --> 01:17:54,239 only possible it's people do it all the 1763 01:17:59,360 --> 01:17:56,280 time well you're an example of that I 1764 01:18:01,850 --> 01:17:59,370 mean look how you look right now is you 1765 01:18:03,860 --> 01:18:01,860 if most people don't know Greg is 1766 01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:03,870 actually a hundred and seventy-eight 1767 01:18:07,700 --> 01:18:06,090 years old well you can't see me right 1768 01:18:09,260 --> 01:18:07,710 now so you know the first thing I looked 1769 01:18:11,229 --> 01:18:09,270 at for this interview I said is this a 1770 01:18:14,270 --> 01:18:11,239 video interview 1771 01:18:17,810 --> 01:18:14,280 hey I wanted to ask you let me tell you 1772 01:18:20,390 --> 01:18:17,820 I apply in my life what I have learned 1773 01:18:22,490 --> 01:18:20,400 and I spend a lot of time with monks and 1774 01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:22,500 nuns and the monasteries of Tibet in the 1775 01:18:27,470 --> 01:18:25,530 90s the early 2000s in general routine 1776 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:27,480 ly we met people there are a hundred and 1777 01:18:32,270 --> 01:18:28,890 fifteen hundred twenty twenty-five years 1778 01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:32,280 old I saw their papers it's not out of 1779 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:34,050 the ordinary and you would never know 1780 01:18:38,090 --> 01:18:36,570 they looked about half their age their 1781 01:18:40,100 --> 01:18:38,100 skin colour was good their eyes are 1782 01:18:42,020 --> 01:18:40,110 sharp their memory is sharp right I've 1783 01:18:44,090 --> 01:18:42,030 been with indigenous traditions in South 1784 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:44,100 America they don't have Alzheimer's 1785 01:18:47,090 --> 01:18:45,690 because they're older they don't have 1786 01:18:49,939 --> 01:18:47,100 breast cancer they don't have prostate 1787 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:49,949 cancer it's not about the aging our 1788 01:18:55,190 --> 01:18:52,410 bodies are designed to heal and 1789 01:18:57,500 -->

it's going as fast for you 1828 01:20:53,979 --> 01:20:52,429 this blazed by and and I can't believe 1829 01:20:58,929 --> 01:20:53,989 it I can't believe it 1830 01:21:02,919 --> 01:20:58,939 and going back to where we left off 1831 01:21:05,799 --> 01:21:02,929 which is this with technology which I 1832 01:21:08,290 --> 01:21:05,809 embrace right I've got GPS in all of my 1833 01:21:10,839 --> 01:21:08,300 cars and I've got the self I sit in a 1834 01:21:13,389 --> 01:21:10,849 beautiful studio full of technology and 1835 01:21:15,099 --> 01:21:13,399 and I get that I understand it you and I 1836 01:21:20,349 --> 01:21:15,109 are talking right now because of 1837 01:21:24,989 --> 01:21:20,359 Technology but with things like GPS or 1838 01:21:28,060 --> 01:21:24,999 phone books and in a contact list are we 1839 01:21:29,770 --> 01:21:28,070 losing the ability to remember things 1840 01:21:33,459 --> 01:21:29,780 you know like phone numbers or 1841 01:21:36,609 --> 01:21:33,469 directions does it force our brains into 1842 01:21:38,379 --> 01:21:36,619 becoming complacent and lazy I think 1843 01:21:39,790 --> 01:21:38,389 it's how we how we'll use them you know 1844 01:21:43,919 --> 01:21:39,800 I I just ranted this this afternoon 1845 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:43,929 somebody my office manager was asking me 1846 01:21:50,259 --> 01:21:47,090 some questions there we go revolved 1847 01:21:52,569 --> 01:21:50,269 around numbers and it's easy to you know 1848 01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:52,579 pull out a calculator and putting to 1849 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:53,449 punch some buttons 1850 01:21:58,419 --> 01:21:56,449 I personally make it a discipline to 1851 01:22:02,139 --> 01:21:58,429 pull out a piece of paper and and do the 1852 01:22:03,509 --> 01:22:02,149 math so that's just a personal personal 1853 01:22:05,979 --> 01:22:03,519 thing for me but what I know 1854 01:22:07,959 --> 01:22:05,989 understanding what I know about neurons 1855 01:22:09,879 --> 01:22:07,969 and the way neurons work in the heart as 1856 01:22:11,349 --> 01:22:09,889 well as the brain and I know your 1857 01:22:15,369 --> 01:22:11,359 listeners have heard this actually on 1858 01:22:18,909 --> 01:22:15,379 before is neurons that that fire 1859 01:22:23,109 --> 01:22:18,919 together wire together so when we begin 1860 01:22:25,869 --> 01:22:23,119 to to not use those connections they do 1861 01:22:27,279 --> 01:22:25,879 begin to atrophy the chemicals that hold 1862 01:22:29,169 --> 01:22:27,289 those connections in place begin to 1863 01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:29,179 atrophy because because we no longer use 1864 01:22:35,919 --> 01:22:32,510 them so I embrace technology as well I 1865 01:22:39,730 --> 01:22:35,929 think it makes no sense for us to fight 1866 01:22:43,180 --> 01:22:39,740 the technology we are like children 1867 01:22:45,670 --> 01:22:43,190 in a civilization where the technology 1868 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:45,680 was open the doors we've unlocked the 1869 01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:48,650 secrets to the some of the greatest 1870 01:22:54,010 --> 01:22:51,290 mysteries of creation in nature and 1871 01:22:57,100 --> 01:22:54,020 we've done it Jimmy without answering 1872 01:22:59,020 --> 01:22:57,110 the most significant question about 1873 01:23:01,060 --> 01:22:59,030 ourselves so you mean think about what 1874 01:23:04,300 --> 01:23:01,070 we've done you know we've we split the 1875 01:23:08,440 --> 01:23:04,310 atom we understand how to edit and and 1876 01:23:11,020 --> 01:23:08,450 you know DNA we've put put people on the 1877 01:23:14,620 --> 01:23:11,030 moon we're now bouncing signals off the 1878 01:23:17,290 --> 01:23:14,630 edge of the universe on the one hand and 1879 01:23:19,870 --> 01:23:17,300 the other hand Jimmy we scientifically 1880 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:19,880 may be not spiritually it's 1881 01:23:23,230 --> 01:23:22,010 scientifically we have yet to answer the 1882 01:23:26,740 --> 01:23:23,240 most fundamental question of our 1883 01:23:29,950 --> 01:23:26,750 existence who are we and until we answer 1884 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:29,960 that question who are we what do we use 1885 01:23:37,780 --> 01:23:34,570 as the yardstick by which we measure our 1886 01:23:40,170 --> 01:23:37,790 technology and we measure our worth in 1887 01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:40,180 terms of how the technology is applied 1888 01:23:45,700 --> 01:23:43,130 one of the you know this is one of the 1889 01:23:48,220 --> 01:23:45,710 few programs that I can have this 1890 01:23:50,650 --> 01:23:48,230 conversation with you and with our our 1891 01:23:52,030 --> 01:23:50,660 listeners are hundreds of thousands of 1892 01:23:54,270 --> 01:23:52,040 listeners who are now in your living 1893 01:23:57,970 --> 01:23:54,280 room all around your couch right right 1894 01:24:00,610 --> 01:23:57,980 if you have a lot of friends in the in 1895 01:24:02,830 --> 01:24:00,620 the UFO movement phenomenon movement 1896 01:24:07,210 --> 01:24:02,840 who've become very specialized in the 1897 01:24:08,530 --> 01:24:07,220 abductee phenomenon and I know you have 1898 01:24:12,150 --> 01:24:08,540 a lot of guests to talk about that as 1899 01:24:14,430 --> 01:24:12,160 well and one of the these are 1900 01:24:16,990 --> 01:24:14,440 professionals these are professional 1901 01:24:21,190 --> 01:24:17,000 therapists professional psych psych 1902 01:24:22,030 --> 01:24:21,200 psych ologist psychiatrists as well as 1903 01:24:25,090 --> 01:24:22,040 biologists 1904 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:25,100 who are helping people to come to terms 1905 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:28,130 with the experience that they've had in 1906 01:24:32,500 --> 01:24:30,530 what it means to them and to help them 1907 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:32,510 do that they interview these people and 1908 01:24:37,480 --> 01:24:34,970 they have found common themes across the 1909 01:24:39,790 --> 01:24:37,490 interviews and they've shared some of 1910 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:39,800 those themes with me I don't talk about 1911 01:24:44,590 --> 01:24:41,810 a lot typically from a public stage 1912 01:24:46,480 --> 01:24:44,600 because it typically doesn't tie into 1913 01:24:49,300 --> 01:24:46,490 you know whatever I've been invited to 1914 01:24:52,660 --> 01:24:49,310 speak about but it is a phenomenon one 1915 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:52,670 of the common themes Jimmy that comes up 1916 01:24:57,910 --> 01:24:53,330 in the abduch 1917 01:25:03,210 --> 01:24:57,920 and phenomenon is that the the beings 1918 01:25:06,370 --> 01:25:03,220 who have abducted these people when they 1919 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:06,380 embark upon a conversation whether it's 1920 01:25:11,470 --> 01:25:08,570 telepathic a lot of times it is 1921 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:11,480 telepathic or whether it's a verbal 1922 01:25:16,990 --> 01:25:15,050 conversation what they convey to the 1923 01:25:19,390 --> 01:25:17,000 abductees is just what we're talking 1924 01:25:21,430 --> 01:25:19,400 about tonight that they are the product 1925 01:25:24,820 --> 01:25:21,440 of an advanced technologically advanced 1926 01:25:29,290 --> 01:25:24,830 civilization who made a choice at some 1927 01:25:31,900 --> 01:25:29,300 point in their past to adopt technology 1928 01:25:34,330 --> 01:25:31,910 before they understood what it was that 1929 01:25:37,660 --> 01:25:34,340 they were giving away and that they lost 1930 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:37,670 so much of their uniqueness to the 1931 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:40,850 machines they longed to have that back 1932 01:25:45,370 --> 01:25:43,010 and they're interested in the abductees 1933 01:25:46,930 --> 01:25:45,380 for that reason they're interested in 1934 01:25:49,420 --> 01:25:46,940 the DNA they're interested in the 1935 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:49,430 neurons and in the way for these 1936 01:25:54,790 --> 01:25:51,610 particular people for whatever reason 1937 01:25:57,550 --> 01:25:54,800 the way that they have these people use 1938 01:26:00,250 --> 01:25:57,560 their biology in their lives maybe they 1939 01:26:03,310 --> 01:26:00,260 are you know compassionate healthcare 1940 01:26:05,740 --> 01:26:03,320 workers or maybe they are hospice you 1941 01:26:08,980 --> 01:26:05,750 know workers or whatever it is so I 1942 01:26:13,300 --> 01:26:08,990 think that it's interesting that 1943 01:26:16,780 --> 01:26:13,310 although each case is unique the among 1944 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:16,790 the common themes is the theme of an 1945 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:19,370 advanced technologically advanced 1946 01:26:26,350 --> 01:26:23,090 society that has moved forward with 1947 01:26:29,260 --> 01:26:26,360 their technology in a way that has led 1948 01:26:30,820 --> 01:26:29,270 them from the depths of their uniqueness 1949 01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:30,830 and they want that back 1950 01:26:34,500 --> 01:26:33,650 so I think there's something that we can 1951 01:26:39,850 --> 01:26:34,510 learn from that 1952 01:26:43,930 --> 01:26:39,860 is there another aspect to all of this 1953 01:26:47,350 --> 01:26:43,940 when we're looking at the changes here 1954 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:47,360 do we have to as a planet as a 1955 01:26:53,470 --> 01:26:50,570 civilization do we have to go to the 1956 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:53,480 edge do we have to go and stare into the 1957 01:26:59,260 --> 01:26:55,850 darkness and get the crap scared out of 1958 01:27:01,750 --> 01:26:59,270 us to to realize that we're heading in 1959 01:27:04,930 --> 01:27:01,760 the wrong direction and that there is 1960 01:27:06,140 --> 01:27:04,940 another way about this is that what we 1961 01:27:08,629 --> 01:27:06,150 have to do 1962 01:27:10,939 --> 01:27:08,639 you know this is a really I I have this 1963 01:27:13,820 --> 01:27:10,949 conversation frequently with with my 1964 01:27:16,370 --> 01:27:13,830 biology friends and with my philosophy 1965 01:27:20,270 --> 01:27:16,380 friends and there's there's a very 1966 01:27:24,290 --> 01:27:20,280 interesting a very interesting thing 1967 01:27:26,870 --> 01:27:24,300 about us humans in that we seem to to 1968 01:27:29,270 --> 01:27:26,880 experience what we don't want before we 1969 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:29,280 know we don't want it right and that's 1970 01:27:37,609 --> 01:27:34,650 very different from setting a course to 1971 01:27:40,700 --> 01:27:37,619 a vision of what we do want and working 1972 01:27:43,010 --> 01:27:40,710 toward that vision so we had to have not 1973 01:27:44,689 --> 01:27:43,020 one but but two great Holocaust on the 1974 01:27:45,890 --> 01:27:44,699 planet and and we say we're not going to 1975 01:27:47,330 --> 01:27:45,900 do that we had to have a couple of world 1976 01:27:49,490 --> 01:27:47,340 wars and we say we don't want that 1977 01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:49,500 anymore well we could have said let's 1978 01:27:55,310 --> 01:27:51,570 just live in a planet apiece but we 1979 01:27:58,240 --> 01:27:55,320 didn't do that so my experience and this 1980 01:28:02,089 --> 01:27:58,250 goes back to a conversation that we just 1981 01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:02,099 barely scratched the surface of two 1982 01:28:08,330 --> 01:28:04,050 breaks ago it was in the the second 1983 01:28:11,780 --> 01:28:08,340 second segment what the archeology 1984 01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:11,790 clearly shows you know one of the 1985 01:28:17,180 --> 01:28:13,770 benefits that's coming from global 1986 01:28:21,649 --> 01:28:17,190 warming is it is melting ice in places 1987 01:28:25,070 --> 01:28:21,659 that have that have seen only ice in you 1988 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:25,080 know in recent memory and when that ice 1989 01:28:30,649 --> 01:28:28,170 melts it begins to expose archaeological 1990 01:28:33,620 --> 01:28:30,659 sites and and the earth penetrating 1991 01:28:36,140 --> 01:28:33,630 radar is exposing archaeological sites 1992 01:28:39,589 --> 01:28:36,150 and we're beginning to have a very 1993 01:28:41,870 --> 01:28:39,599 different picture of human civilization 1994 01:28:44,149 --> 01:28:41,880 so when I was in school again back in 1995 01:28:46,939 --> 01:28:44,159 the 50s 60s or early 70s I was taught 1996 01:28:48,919 --> 01:28:46,949 and many of your listeners were taught 1997 01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:48,929 the same thing and and their children 1998 01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:51,449 today in grandchildren are still being 1999 01:28:55,850 --> 01:28:53,250 taught that civilization began about 2000 01:28:58,910 --> 01:28:55,860 5000 years ago right around the time of 2001 01:29:00,770 --> 01:28:58,920 ancient Sumeria and then Egypt came 2002 01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:00,780 along and then the things like you know 2003 01:29:04,790 --> 01:29:03,090 Rome and Greece and the Incan 2004 01:29:07,910 --> 01:29:04,800 civilization and Mayans that you know 2005 01:29:09,310 --> 01:29:07,920 those all came along later and we were 2006 01:29:12,890 --> 01:29:09,320 taught that's the history of the world 2007 01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:12,900 so that that civilization began about 2008 01:29:18,890 --> 01:29:15,300 5,000 maybe 5,500 years before a 2009 01:29:20,300 --> 01:29:18,900 president BP before present now what the 2010 01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:20,310 archeologist 2011 01:29:26,090 --> 01:29:24,330 is there are archaeological sites I take 2012 01:29:30,250 --> 01:29:26,100 groups into a place of northern Peru 2013 01:29:34,010 --> 01:29:30,260 that is called chorale CA RAL chorale 2014 01:29:36,890 --> 01:29:34,020 collapsed when we're told that that 2015 01:29:38,930 --> 01:29:36,900 civilization began it collapsed about 2016 01:29:41,210 --> 01:29:38,940 fifty five hundred years ago it was the 2017 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:41,220 most technologically advanced 2018 01:29:45,650 --> 01:29:43,730 civilization and is the oldest 2019 01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:45,660 technologically advanced civilization in 2020 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:47,370 all of the Americas that's older than 2021 01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:49,410 the Inca than the old Olmec than the 2022 01:29:53,900 --> 01:29:52,410 Toltec the new Maya then the Aztec the 2023 01:29:56,180 --> 01:29:53,910 history books are having to be rewritten 2024 01:29:58,370 --> 01:29:56,190 now to accommodate this discovery of 2025 01:30:00,920 --> 01:29:58,380 coral and then you go back from there 2026 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:00,930 you know you talk about gobekli tepe and 2027 01:30:06,910 --> 01:30:04,890 one of the great mysteries and we've got 2028 01:30:09,500 --> 01:30:06,920 the new information as a geologist 2029 01:30:11,150 --> 01:30:09,510 looking at the Giza Plateau you know we 2030 01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:11,160 know this is what's called floovio 2031 01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:13,650 erosion on the Sphinx and on the 2032 01:30:17,660 --> 01:30:15,420 pyramids fast moving water over long 2033 01:30:20,390 --> 01:30:17,670 periods of time that hasn't happened 2034 01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:20,400 since the ice melted during the Ice Age 2035 01:30:24,470 --> 01:30:22,290 and that was right around 10,000 years 2036 01:30:27,830 --> 01:30:24,480 ago and we're looking at places like the 2037 01:30:29,840 --> 01:30:27,840 Gulf of Khambhat in India a city three 2038 01:30:33,260 --> 01:30:29,850 miles long five miles wide under a 2039 01:30:35,510 --> 01:30:33,270 hundred and twenty five feet of water we 2040 01:30:37,610 --> 01:30:35,520 either have to say that the city was 2041 01:30:38,930 --> 01:30:37,620 built underwater which doesn't doesn't 2042 01:30:41,900 --> 01:30:38,940 make a lot of sense probably is not 2043 01:30:43,430 --> 01:30:41,910 likely or that it was submerged after it 2044 01:30:45,350 --> 01:30:43,440 was built and that didn't happen until 2045 01:30:48,850 --> 01:30:45,360 after when the ice melted and the sea 2046 01:30:51,110 --> 01:30:48,860 levels rose and we're looking at cities 2047 01:30:54,380 --> 01:30:51,120 that are being discovered that were 2048 01:30:56,510 --> 01:30:54,390 thought to be fairytales Gulf of 2049 01:31:02,000 --> 01:30:56,520 Khambhat is one it's in the Mahabharata 2050 01:31:05,710 --> 01:31:02,010 and the evidence of of atomic war in you 2051 01:31:09,110 --> 01:31:05,720 know in places that were finding glazed 2052 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:09,120 sand across the desert and radioactive 2053 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:11,250 skeletons and huge craters it can only 2054 01:31:17,090 --> 01:31:13,890 be seen from the sky and they correlate 2055 01:31:19,790 --> 01:31:17,100 with what the Hindu traditions tell us 2056 01:31:21,110 --> 01:31:19,800 was a great battle that happened that 2057 01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:21,120 has always been believes to be 2058 01:31:24,890 --> 01:31:23,010 make-believe a fairy tale so when you 2059 01:31:27,950 --> 01:31:24,900 put all these together now we're looking 2060 01:31:30,980 --> 01:31:27,960 at technologically advanced societies 2061 01:31:32,810 --> 01:31:30,990 twice as old is what we were taught 2062 01:31:33,440 --> 01:31:32,820 they've gone back over ten thousand 2063 01:31:38,030 --> 01:31:33,450 years and go back 2064 01:31:40,670 --> 01:31:38,040 happy now is over 13,000 years and and 2065 01:31:42,440 --> 01:31:40,680 now that we're looking beyond earth 2066 01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:42,450 we're looking at the archeology on the 2067 01:31:47,390 --> 01:31:45,090 lunar surface and beyond those sites are 2068 01:31:48,710 --> 01:31:47,400 now being dated around fifty thousand 2069 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:48,720 years before present 2070 01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:52,050 so rather than this linear model it 2071 01:31:58,870 --> 01:31:55,530 appears that civilization is cyclic that 2072 01:32:01,850 --> 01:31:58,880 we reach a certain level of complexity 2073 01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:01,860 this is unsustainable and that 2074 01:32:08,270 --> 01:32:05,010 civilization collapses possibly due to 2075 01:32:11,300 --> 01:32:08,280 war and begins again we have to ask 2076 01:32:14,570 --> 01:32:11,310 ourselves are we following that pattern 2077 01:32:18,140 --> 01:32:14,580 are reliving that cycle right now and if 2078 01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:18,150 we are do we have the wisdom to choose 2079 01:32:23,690 --> 01:32:21,330 wisely so that we don't fall into the 2080 01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:23,700 same path as those civilizations that 2081 01:32:27,530 --> 01:32:25,170 have failed in the past and I I 2082 01:32:29,060 --> 01:32:27,540 personally believe that we this 2083 01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:29,070 generation we're answering that question 2084 01:32:31,940 --> 01:32:29,810 right now 2085 01:32:33,740 --> 01:32:31,950 well I may not know that we're answering 2086 01:32:35,990 --> 01:32:33,750 it but we're answering it in technology 2087 01:32:40,030 --> 01:32:36,000 is a big part of it and you know and 2088 01:32:42,110 --> 01:32:40,040 this is what I find interesting because 2089 01:32:44,810 --> 01:32:42,120 anthropologists and archaeologists even 2090 01:32:48,860 --> 01:32:44,820 geologists had all said the same thing 2091 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:48,870 when John Anthony West and and Robert 2092 01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:51,090 Schoch you know did the documentary and 2093 01:32:59,240 --> 01:32:55,290 and and they said look just give us some 2094 01:33:02,180 --> 01:32:59,250 evidence of something before 3,000 BC 2095 01:33:04,940 --> 01:33:02,190 and we have a conversation here but 2096 01:33:07,940 --> 01:33:04,950 until then we're right and you're wrong 2097 01:33:12,050 --> 01:33:07,950 since then you know you have called 2098 01:33:14,150 --> 01:33:12,060 you have the caves outside of tel aviv 2099 01:33:17,420 --> 01:33:14,160 you have gobekli tepe 2100 01:33:20,930 --> 01:33:17,430 and other sites around the planet that 2101 01:33:23,330 --> 01:33:20,940 clearly suggests the opposite of what 2102 01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:23,340 we've been taught but they still choose 2103 01:33:29,630 --> 01:33:26,330 to ignore it when is that stranglehold 2104 01:33:31,790 --> 01:33:29,640 gonna end well we mentioned in the last 2105 01:33:33,410 --> 01:33:31,800 hour there's a battle unfolding in our 2106 01:33:35,390 --> 01:33:33,420 lives to maintain what's called the 2107 01:33:38,180 --> 01:33:35,400 standard model right and that's that 2108 01:33:40,820 --> 01:33:38,190 standard model begins with the beginning 2109 01:33:43,490 --> 01:33:40,830 with the origins of the cosmos the Big 2110 01:33:46,370 --> 01:33:43,500 Bang Theory when and how that happened 2111 01:33:46,910 --> 01:33:46,380 it begins with human origins who are 2112 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:46,920 reword 2113 01:33:51,410 --> 01:33:49,170 we come from are we the product of 2114 01:33:54,350 --> 01:33:51,420 random mutations an accident and a fluke 2115 01:33:56,540 --> 01:33:54,360 of biology or is there some some sort of 2116 01:33:58,490 --> 01:33:56,550 intervention and some level of 2117 01:34:02,209 --> 01:33:58,500 intentionality sure you're lying our 2118 01:34:04,310 --> 01:34:02,219 existence and civilization does it go 2119 01:34:06,380 --> 01:34:04,320 back further than we've been led to 2120 01:34:08,150 --> 01:34:06,390 believe you know one of the really 2121 01:34:11,810 --> 01:34:08,160 interesting happened things that has 2122 01:34:14,300 --> 01:34:11,820 happened and I was during the Cold War 2123 01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:14,310 years I didn't work in the aerospace 2124 01:34:18,169 --> 01:34:16,290 industry and then because it was wartime 2125 01:34:20,950 --> 01:34:18,179 I was drafted in the defense industry 2126 01:34:24,470 --> 01:34:20,960 that's where they needed the the 2127 01:34:27,350 --> 01:34:24,480 expertise and it was a really bizarre 2128 01:34:29,390 --> 01:34:27,360 time it was such a weird time Jimi when 2129 01:34:33,050 --> 01:34:29,400 the two former superpowers were poised 2130 01:34:36,500 --> 01:34:33,060 you know to do the unthinkable and and I 2131 01:34:38,510 --> 01:34:36,510 remember it was emotionally going into 2132 01:34:41,300 --> 01:34:38,520 the the secret vaults where we worked 2133 01:34:43,970 --> 01:34:41,310 every day and creating the software and 2134 01:34:48,830 --> 01:34:43,980 and working with Star Wars and things 2135 01:34:53,209 --> 01:34:48,840 like that my player was that somehow we 2136 01:34:55,550 --> 01:34:53,219 were all working so that the horror of 2137 01:34:57,620 --> 01:34:55,560 wars that we had seen in the past would 2138 01:35:01,610 --> 01:34:57,630 never happen again and that the 2139 01:35:03,890 --> 01:35:01,620 technology would give us a way to work 2140 01:35:06,229 --> 01:35:03,900 together so that we would never see 2141 01:35:09,350 --> 01:35:06,239 those wars again well it was it was 2142 01:35:11,930 --> 01:35:09,360 during that time that the former Soviet 2143 01:35:13,189 --> 01:35:11,940 Union and well the former America 2144 01:35:15,410 --> 01:35:13,199 because it was a different country then 2145 01:35:18,950 --> 01:35:15,420 they had the agreements that they would 2146 01:35:20,689 --> 01:35:18,960 never share what was found when those 2147 01:35:22,130 --> 01:35:20,699 countries went onto the lunar surface 2148 01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:22,140 they were the only two countries that 2149 01:35:27,770 --> 01:35:24,210 had the money in the technology to to go 2150 01:35:31,370 --> 01:35:27,780 to the lunar surface and they've honored 2151 01:35:33,140 --> 01:35:31,380 that agreement and we now have those two 2152 01:35:34,790 --> 01:35:33,150 countries or two Broke America is 2153 01:35:37,610 --> 01:35:34,800 they're not going anytime soon 2154 01:35:39,650 --> 01:35:37,620 Russia's not go anytime soon but there 2155 01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:39,660 are countries that are that are not part 2156 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:41,730 of that agreement China for example and 2157 01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:44,489 China has said that when they land on 2158 01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:47,610 the lunar surface they are going to beam 2159 01:35:51,590 --> 01:35:49,890 back to the earth live whatever it is 2160 01:35:55,310 --> 01:35:51,600 they find there they were not part of 2161 01:35:56,750 --> 01:35:55,320 that original agreement my sense and I 2162 01:35:59,150 --> 01:35:56,760 know you've had guests on they've talked 2163 01:35:59,729 --> 01:35:59,160 about this and you know George has and 2164 01:36:02,310 --> 01:35:59,739 you know for 2165 01:36:03,899 --> 01:36:02,320 years mm-hmm my sense is when we see 2166 01:36:06,779 --> 01:36:03,909 those archeological remnants you know 2167 01:36:10,410 --> 01:36:06,789 we're looking for microbes as signs of 2168 01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:10,420 life on the lunar surface right next to 2169 01:36:16,410 --> 01:36:14,530 two archeological remnants that are now 2170 01:36:20,910 --> 01:36:16,420 estimated be fifty thousand years old 2171 01:36:22,709 --> 01:36:20,920 and when we find those remnants people 2172 01:36:25,859 --> 01:36:22,719 are going to automatically think oh you 2173 01:36:29,669 --> 01:36:25,869 know it must be ETS UFOs which are very 2174 01:36:33,209 --> 01:36:29,679 possible I think it's very possible they 2175 01:36:36,270 --> 01:36:33,219 could be however based on what I now 2176 01:36:38,279 --> 01:36:36,280 understand about cycles of human 2177 01:36:41,100 --> 01:36:38,289 consciousness and civilization in 2178 01:36:43,259 --> 01:36:41,110 history I think we're going to find that 2179 01:36:46,049 --> 01:36:43,269 those are not remnants from an alien 2180 01:36:48,629 --> 01:36:46,059 civilization I think they're us from 2181 01:36:50,279 --> 01:36:48,639 another time in our history when we 2182 01:36:53,729 --> 01:36:50,289 achieve great and beautiful things 2183 01:36:56,430 --> 01:36:53,739 because we worked together before we 2184 01:37:00,239 --> 01:36:56,440 went to war and if we did that in the 2185 01:37:01,830 --> 01:37:00,249 past just as our world is coming so 2186 01:37:04,229 --> 01:37:01,840 close you know there's a push for war 2187 01:37:06,739 --> 01:37:04,239 you can feel it there is an element that 2188 01:37:08,939 --> 01:37:06,749 wants war and there's a lot of our 2189 01:37:11,939 --> 01:37:08,949 global community that doesn't want the 2190 01:37:16,140 --> 01:37:11,949 war happening right now can you imagine 2191 01:37:18,089 --> 01:37:16,150 what would happen if we beam back from 2192 01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:18,099 the lunar surface evidence of something 2193 01:37:24,419 --> 01:37:21,010 that we created it's sometime in our 2194 01:37:26,759 --> 01:37:24,429 past and we said if we were able to do 2195 01:37:28,950 --> 01:37:26,769 this together ten thousand years ago 2196 01:37:31,620 --> 01:37:28,960 what could we accomplish if we work 2197 01:37:34,529 --> 01:37:31,630 together now and it has the potential I 2198 01:37:36,419 --> 01:37:34,539 believe to be the most unifying right 2199 01:37:39,689 --> 01:37:36,429 experience for the people on the earth 2200 01:37:42,239 --> 01:37:39,699 just at the time Jimmy when our world is 2201 01:37:43,500 --> 01:37:42,249 becoming so polarized something that 2202 01:37:46,350 --> 01:37:43,510 could bring us together in such a 2203 01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:46,360 powerful way something to give us hope 2204 01:37:55,169 --> 01:37:51,449 something does evident right right I 2205 01:37:59,609 --> 01:37:55,179 couldn't agree with you more and one of 2206 01:38:01,649 --> 01:37:59,619 the the plays on this is that you know 2207 01:38:04,319 --> 01:38:01,659 are we alone in the universe right and 2208 01:38:06,569 --> 01:38:04,329 answering that question well okay that's 2209 01:38:09,390 --> 01:38:06,579 fundamental and we've been to you know 2210 01:38:11,890 --> 01:38:09,400 contemplating that you know for for 2211 01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:11,900 millennia but 2212 01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:16,570 if we find out that there is a reason to 2213 01:38:25,510 --> 01:38:20,570 clean up this planet to live to exist 2214 01:38:28,330 --> 01:38:25,520 because we have a reason to make friends 2215 01:38:32,260 --> 01:38:28,340 out there in the universe it would be 2216 01:38:34,990 --> 01:38:32,270 the opposite of if we found if they 2217 01:38:37,450 --> 01:38:35,000 wanted to project on us Greg that we are 2218 01:38:39,340 --> 01:38:37,460 alone in the universe then you know what 2219 01:38:42,340 --> 01:38:39,350 that does of this planet it's like let's 2220 01:38:45,189 --> 01:38:42,350 burn this sucker down there there's no 2221 01:38:47,290 --> 01:38:45,199 way we bring every human for themselves 2222 01:38:49,419 --> 01:38:47,300 maybe country for itself that's survival 2223 01:38:51,939 --> 01:38:49,429 with the strongest that's right that's 2224 01:38:54,550 --> 01:38:51,949 right and this is where and this is 2225 01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:54,560 exactly the precisely the point where 2226 01:39:00,340 --> 01:38:57,530 best science of the 21st century is now 2227 01:39:03,130 --> 01:39:00,350 overturned that fundamental tenant in 2228 01:39:06,030 --> 01:39:03,140 peer-reviewed journals are now telling 2229 01:39:08,530 --> 01:39:06,040 us nature's fundamental rule is not 2230 01:39:10,689 --> 01:39:08,540 competition it's not survival of the 2231 01:39:12,850 --> 01:39:10,699 strongest by the way those were Darwin's 2232 01:39:15,459 --> 01:39:12,860 actual words I researched them in his 2233 01:39:17,770 --> 01:39:15,469 manuscript he called it survival of the 2234 01:39:20,050 --> 01:39:17,780 strongest later is interpreted as 2235 01:39:22,270 --> 01:39:20,060 survival of the fittest his words were 2236 01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:22,280 survival of the strongest and what we 2237 01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:24,290 now know is that nature's fundamental 2238 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:27,250 rule is cooperation and the more 2239 01:39:31,660 --> 01:39:30,170 conflict in the more competition that 2240 01:39:34,030 --> 01:39:31,670 you see I mean I'm not denying that's 2241 01:39:36,070 --> 01:39:34,040 there obviously it's there but the more 2242 01:39:38,530 --> 01:39:36,080 of that conflict we see that tells us 2243 01:39:41,979 --> 01:39:38,540 how far we've strayed from this 2244 01:39:43,689 --> 01:39:41,989 fundamental truth of of the way nature 2245 01:39:46,300 --> 01:39:43,699 operates and that was part of the 2246 01:39:47,979 --> 01:39:46,310 message bruce lipton and i were invited 2247 01:39:51,310 --> 01:39:47,989 to speak at the United Nations a couple 2248 01:39:53,830 --> 01:39:51,320 of years ago as a team me as a an earth 2249 01:39:55,930 --> 01:39:53,840 scientist and he is a life scientist and 2250 01:39:58,570 --> 01:39:55,940 this was part of the message that we 2251 01:40:01,419 --> 01:39:58,580 shared is that nature is based on this 2252 01:40:04,959 --> 01:40:01,429 fundamental rule of cooperation do we 2253 01:40:07,180 --> 01:40:04,969 think that we're so different from the 2254 01:40:09,580 --> 01:40:07,190 natural rules and the natural laws and 2255 01:40:11,649 --> 01:40:09,590 rhythms of this planet that we don't 2256 01:40:13,750 --> 01:40:11,659 need to follow that and if we're serious 2257 01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:13,760 about solving the problems and that that 2258 01:40:19,390 --> 01:40:15,770 is supposedly what the United Nations is 2259 01:40:20,830 --> 01:40:19,400 all about then it behooves us to follow 2260 01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:20,840 this this fundamental rule of 2261 01:40:25,630 --> 01:40:23,810 cooperation rather than then conflict 2262 01:40:27,250 --> 01:40:25,640 and competition so 2263 01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:27,260 this is where it all comes back to where 2264 01:40:31,420 --> 01:40:29,090 we began this conversation Jimmy the 2265 01:40:33,310 --> 01:40:31,430 better we know ourselves the better 2266 01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:33,320 equipped we are to deal with whatever 2267 01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:35,690 Life brings to our doorstep and the last 2268 01:40:41,440 --> 01:40:39,530 we fear the unknown we we are what are 2269 01:40:44,830 --> 01:40:41,450 called self referencing beings so we 2270 01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:44,840 tend to hinge our sense of well-being on 2271 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:46,250 what's happened in the world out there 2272 01:40:49,630 --> 01:40:48,290 so you know you come home from work and 2273 01:40:50,980 --> 01:40:49,640 you know you see a bunch of impeachment 2274 01:40:52,540 --> 01:40:50,990 hearings and the government looks like 2275 01:40:54,880 --> 01:40:52,550 it's dysfunctional and the markets are 2276 01:40:56,500 --> 01:40:54,890 crazy and you know war is breaking out 2277 01:40:59,350 --> 01:40:56,510 all over and and you try to have dinner 2278 01:41:01,150 --> 01:40:59,360 with your family and you know it can be 2279 01:41:04,450 --> 01:41:01,160 a pretty rocky road and you come home 2280 01:41:07,660 --> 01:41:04,460 and you know all the things are just the 2281 01:41:11,710 --> 01:41:07,670 opposite and it influences the way that 2282 01:41:15,490 --> 01:41:11,720 we feel about ourselves because we hinge 2283 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:15,500 our sense of well-being on the external 2284 01:41:20,980 --> 01:41:18,290 world as we embrace these new 2285 01:41:22,210 --> 01:41:20,990 discoveries what we find out is it 2286 01:41:23,950 --> 01:41:22,220 doesn't change what happened in the 2287 01:41:26,380 --> 01:41:23,960 world necessarily but it changes the way 2288 01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:26,390 we feel about what happens in the world 2289 01:41:32,650 --> 01:41:28,850 and when we begin to write the new human 2290 01:41:35,530 --> 01:41:32,660 story that is where we open the doors to 2291 01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:35,540 new ways of thinking and new ways of 2292 01:41:41,140 --> 01:41:37,610 working together in cooperation there's 2293 01:41:44,980 --> 01:41:41,150 a big part of that so I think it is 2294 01:41:46,150 --> 01:41:44,990 worth our time and worth the energy that 2295 01:41:48,790 --> 01:41:46,160 it takes to answer this fundamental 2296 01:41:50,740 --> 01:41:48,800 question who are we because it's going 2297 01:41:52,900 --> 01:41:50,750 to change the kind of energy that drives 2298 01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:52,910 this planet it brings you know 2299 01:41:56,560 --> 01:41:54,410 electricity to our homes it's going to 2300 01:41:58,180 --> 01:41:56,570 change the way we grow our food good to 2301 01:42:00,190 --> 01:41:58,190 change the way we heal our bodies and 2302 01:42:05,430 --> 01:42:00,200 ultimately it's going to change the way 2303 01:42:12,310 --> 01:42:10,000 before we wrap up I want your thought on 2304 01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:12,320 this really quick and you're more than 2305 01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:15,770 welcome to hang out for some overtime if 2306 01:42:22,030 --> 01:42:17,050 you want to continue the conversation 2307 01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:22,040 but it's this why is it that it's it's 2308 01:42:33,370 --> 01:42:26,210 so hard to do the right thing right it's 2309 01:42:36,460 --> 01:42:33,380 it's easier to be bad well the question 2310 01:42:39,339 --> 01:42:36,470 is it's the environment that we find 2311 01:42:41,589 --> 01:42:39,349 ourselves in we 2312 01:42:44,500 --> 01:42:41,599 have been everything that's that's 2313 01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:44,510 happening in the world is only happening 2314 01:42:50,859 --> 01:42:47,090 because of the way we've been taught to 2315 01:42:53,349 --> 01:42:50,869 think so all the atrocities you know of 2316 01:42:56,949 --> 01:42:53,359 the wars and what was happening with 2317 01:43:00,009 --> 01:42:56,959 Isis and you know that the conflicts 2318 01:43:01,779 --> 01:43:00,019 that we see and the revolutions and all 2319 01:43:04,149 --> 01:43:01,789 the bad and all the good things they're 2320 01:43:06,729 --> 01:43:04,159 the product of a way of thinking we are 2321 01:43:11,319 --> 01:43:06,739 conditioned to to think about ourselves 2322 01:43:13,029 --> 01:43:11,329 as random mutations the value of life 2323 01:43:14,739 --> 01:43:13,039 our young people it's easy for them to 2324 01:43:16,689 --> 01:43:14,749 take their own lives it's easy for them 2325 01:43:19,379 --> 01:43:16,699 to take the lives of someone else it's 2326 01:43:22,419 --> 01:43:19,389 easy for them to disrespect their bodies 2327 01:43:25,629 --> 01:43:22,429 I asked a group of young people one of 2328 01:43:27,250 --> 01:43:25,639 my programs recently what how they felt 2329 01:43:29,469 --> 01:43:27,260 how optimistic they were about their 2330 01:43:31,149 --> 01:43:29,479 future and every one of them told me 2331 01:43:32,739 --> 01:43:31,159 that the I won't use their exact 2332 01:43:35,709 --> 01:43:32,749 language but what I'll say is they said 2333 01:43:39,129 --> 01:43:35,719 the world is so messed up we are only 2334 01:43:41,259 --> 01:43:39,139 thinking about today and we're not 2335 01:43:42,549 --> 01:43:41,269 thinking about what's gonna happen ten 2336 01:43:44,020 --> 01:43:42,559 years from now our twenty years well we 2337 01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:44,030 don't think we have a future we don't 2338 01:43:48,099 --> 01:43:46,010 think that world is even gonna exist 2339 01:43:51,219 --> 01:43:48,109 it's the way we've been taught to think 2340 01:43:52,989 --> 01:43:51,229 so as we begin to change the way we 2341 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:52,999 think all the things you're saying I 2342 01:43:57,639 --> 01:43:55,010 believe change this is where science 2343 01:44:00,969 --> 01:43:57,649 comes in science is a language that's 2344 01:44:02,889 --> 01:44:00,979 trusted and it's respected and it's it's 2345 01:44:05,049 --> 01:44:02,899 more of a neutral language than the 2346 01:44:09,219 --> 01:44:05,059 language of spirituality religion or 2347 01:44:11,949 --> 01:44:09,229 politics so I think the ideas are 2348 01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:11,959 accepted more readily when they are 2349 01:44:16,389 --> 01:44:13,489 conveyed through the language of science 2350 01:44:19,929 --> 01:44:16,399 and science is revealing some very very 2351 01:44:21,250 --> 01:44:19,939 powerful very deep truths about our 2352 01:44:23,139 --> 01:44:21,260 extraordinary potential and what 2353 01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:23,149 extraordinary beings we really are and 2354 01:44:28,389 --> 01:44:25,489 what an extraordinary planet we live on 2355 01:44:29,859 --> 01:44:28,399 in our relationship to that planet that 2356 01:44:30,369 --> 01:44:29,869 brings us back to where we started two 2357 01:44:32,169 --> 01:44:30,379 hours ago 2358 01:44:36,099 --> 01:44:32,179 yeah I know I know and I'm not ready to 2359 01:44:39,159 --> 01:44:36,109 end this conversation I kind of can't 2360 01:44:42,609 --> 01:44:39,169 can I talk you into another twenty 2361 01:44:44,919 -->

01:45:38,869 everything up in our feed we'll be right 2384 01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:51,440 [Music] 2385 01:45:56,550 --> 01:45:54,510 all right welcome back heading into some 2386 01:45:59,400 --> 01:45:56,560 overtime with Gregg Braden saw this 2387 01:46:01,920 --> 01:45:59,410 coming too many things left on the table 2388 01:46:03,540 --> 01:46:01,930 Gregan and I want to thank you and I'm 2389 01:46:06,030 --> 01:46:03,550 watching Twitter and everybody's very 2390 01:46:09,630 --> 01:46:06,040 thankful that you're able to hang on and 2391 01:46:12,090 --> 01:46:09,640 one of the things that I don't want to 2392 01:46:15,300 --> 01:46:12,100 we were talking about right before the 2393 01:46:18,990 --> 01:46:15,310 break which is this the manipulation of 2394 01:46:22,440 --> 01:46:19,000 the media with our consciousness is 2395 01:46:25,430 --> 01:46:22,450 something that it's a mental thing but I 2396 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:25,440 think it's also physical because I found 2397 01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:28,690 that you brought up Isis right had that 2398 01:46:34,290 --> 01:46:31,690 I watched one too many Isis beheading 2399 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:34,300 videos on the news where I started to 2400 01:46:41,430 --> 01:46:37,810 physically change like get like ill like 2401 01:46:45,030 --> 01:46:41,440 get sick I stopped I stopped watching 2402 01:46:46,980 --> 01:46:45,040 the news and I did this five or six 2403 01:46:51,690 --> 01:46:46,990 years ago and I'm a better person today 2404 01:46:55,820 --> 01:46:51,700 because of it I read the news I choose 2405 01:47:00,150 --> 01:46:55,830 what I'm going to be fed I don't allow 2406 01:47:03,630 --> 01:47:00,160 to to myself to be manipulated by video 2407 01:47:06,900 --> 01:47:03,640 is this is this something real in that 2408 01:47:10,620 --> 01:47:06,910 we are physically being changed and does 2409 01:47:15,060 --> 01:47:10,630 the man understand this well that's two 2410 01:47:17,130 --> 01:47:15,070 questions we can it's possible to be 2411 01:47:18,930 --> 01:47:17,140 changed and and again this this goes 2412 01:47:20,780 --> 01:47:18,940 back to a very powerful statement began 2413 01:47:24,180 --> 01:47:20,790 with there's a battle that's playing out 2414 01:47:26,790 --> 01:47:24,190 for our thoughts it's a battle for our 2415 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:26,800 story it's a battle for our humaneness 2416 01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:30,970 those are three very distinct aspects of 2417 01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:34,090 this battle and to the degree that we 2418 01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:37,330 allow media to play the role in our 2419 01:47:43,710 --> 01:47:40,570 lives that has in the past it has the 2420 01:47:47,670 --> 01:47:43,720 potential to change us we we begin to 2421 01:47:51,690 --> 01:47:47,680 think there was a linguist in the early 2422 01:47:56,970 --> 01:47:51,700 20th century that worked with the the 2423 01:47:58,470 --> 01:47:56,980 the Hopi traditions and he discovered he 2424 01:48:01,520 --> 01:47:58,480 was the one that made the discovery that 2425 01:48:04,020 --> 01:48:01,530 the words that we use not only 2426 01:48:07,740 --> 01:48:04,030 determined 2427 01:48:10,529 --> 01:48:07,750 what we think but they determine how 2428 01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:10,539 we're even capable of conceiving our 2429 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:13,210 world the the words the language that we 2430 01:48:19,169 --> 01:48:17,050 use and that was the what opened the 2431 01:48:21,510 --> 01:48:19,179 door to the understanding that media 2432 01:48:24,029 --> 01:48:21,520 actually can change the chemistry in our 2433 01:48:26,700 --> 01:48:24,039 brain right it happens in a couple of 2434 01:48:27,839 --> 01:48:26,710 different ways when you know I was I was 2435 01:48:29,970 --> 01:48:27,849 a kid growing up in the Midwest 2436 01:48:34,260 --> 01:48:29,980 conservative community northern Missouri 2437 01:48:35,790 --> 01:48:34,270 50s and 60s and men were taught to 2438 01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:35,800 discount your feelings discount your 2439 01:48:40,859 --> 01:48:37,449 emotion so you know it's just just a 2440 01:48:44,669 --> 01:48:40,869 feeling what we now know is the the 2441 01:48:47,160 --> 01:48:44,679 recovered texts excuse me from the 2442 01:48:48,899 --> 01:48:47,170 Nagamani library for example tell us 2443 01:48:51,750 --> 01:48:48,909 that the power of human emotion in the 2444 01:48:54,390 --> 01:48:51,760 heart is actually the power to change 2445 01:48:58,649 --> 01:48:54,400 our physiology to change our bodies when 2446 01:49:01,500 --> 01:48:58,659 we have a feeling about what we see they 2447 01:49:04,500 --> 01:49:01,510 we emit very specific kinds of chemicals 2448 01:49:08,700 --> 01:49:04,510 this is why art is so powerful when you 2449 01:49:11,129 --> 01:49:08,710 see art that that makes you feel good 2450 01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:11,139 your body begins to emit the chemicals 2451 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:13,690 that reflect that the dopamine and 2452 01:49:20,069 --> 01:49:17,650 serotonin but it also emits what are 2453 01:49:22,049 --> 01:49:20,079 called neuro peptides every emotion 2454 01:49:24,330 --> 01:49:22,059 creates a neuropeptide in our bodies and 2455 01:49:27,390 --> 01:49:24,340 those neuro peptides play a very 2456 01:49:29,819 --> 01:49:27,400 powerful role in in our physiology so 2457 01:49:32,069 --> 01:49:29,829 when young people are watching video 2458 01:49:33,330 --> 01:49:32,079 games all day long it it begins to 2459 01:49:36,510 --> 01:49:33,340 change the way that their brain 2460 01:49:39,270 --> 01:49:36,520 functions and the same with with the 2461 01:49:41,580 --> 01:49:39,280 media I think part of it is conscious a 2462 01:49:42,319 --> 01:49:41,590 conscious manipulation that here's the 2463 01:49:45,870 --> 01:49:42,329 good news 2464 01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:45,880 so few people you know we we live in a 2465 01:49:50,370 --> 01:49:47,650 country at about three what three 2466 01:49:54,060 --> 01:49:50,380 hundred thirty million plus give or take 2467 01:49:57,990 --> 01:49:54,070 in the United States today so few people 2468 01:50:01,049 --> 01:49:58,000 are watching what we call news if you 2469 01:50:03,569 --> 01:50:01,059 know you go through the airports and CNN 2470 01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:03,579 is blaring on every flat screen in every 2471 01:50:08,270 --> 01:50:06,489 restaurant and at the gates at the 2472 01:50:10,589 --> 01:50:08,280 airports and you would you would think 2473 01:50:12,959 --> 01:50:10,599 that everybody in the world is watching 2474 01:50:15,890 --> 01:50:12,969 what you're watching and the reality is 2475 01:50:18,300 --> 01:50:15,900 the ratings the numbers are so low for 2476 01:50:20,460 --> 01:50:18,310 the network 2477 01:50:22,650 --> 01:50:20,470 that relatively few people are actually 2478 01:50:26,190 --> 01:50:22,660 being influenced by what you're talking 2479 01:50:29,670 --> 01:50:26,200 about those that watch may be influenced 2480 01:50:32,010 --> 01:50:29,680 and when I go to live events all over 2481 01:50:34,740 --> 01:50:32,020 all over the world I asked a question I 2482 01:50:37,380 --> 01:50:34,750 said who stopped watching television and 2483 01:50:40,230 --> 01:50:37,390 at least of our audiences the majority 2484 01:50:42,180 --> 01:50:40,240 of people recognize that that news is no 2485 01:50:45,480 --> 01:50:42,190 longer news it's commentary it's 2486 01:50:49,580 --> 01:50:45,490 somebody's idea somebody's spin on an 2487 01:50:53,730 --> 01:50:49,590 event that has happened and I prefer to 2488 01:50:56,370 --> 01:50:53,740 to interpret those events through my own 2489 01:50:58,350 --> 01:50:56,380 lens of perception and I have to work 2490 01:51:01,020 --> 01:50:58,360 really really hard I'll tell you it's 2491 01:51:04,110 --> 01:51:01,030 very difficult to find a solid source of 2492 01:51:07,950 --> 01:51:04,120 objective news and I don't think there 2493 01:51:09,650 --> 01:51:07,960 is one but I find news feeds from other 2494 01:51:12,510 --> 01:51:09,660 countries when I'm out of this country 2495 01:51:15,300 --> 01:51:12,520 I'll give you a perfect example I was in 2496 01:51:18,030 --> 01:51:15,310 Australia over 9/11 I could not even get 2497 01:51:21,710 --> 01:51:18,040 back into my own country it was a very 2498 01:51:26,910 --> 01:51:21,720 strange time and I watched 9/11 unfold 2499 01:51:31,260 --> 01:51:26,920 through the eyes of of Middle Eastern 2500 01:51:34,410 --> 01:51:31,270 and Asian and Australian television Sky 2501 01:51:39,110 --> 01:51:34,420 News was out of the UK some of us were 2502 01:51:41,340 --> 01:51:39,120 out of India and I and I saw a CNN world 2503 01:51:43,410 --> 01:51:41,350 the pictures were the same the 2504 01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:43,420 commentary was so very very different 2505 01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:45,850 and I was amazed at how different the 2506 01:51:51,530 --> 01:51:49,090 commentary could be so I think to answer 2507 01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:51,540 your question it is possible to be 2508 01:51:57,390 --> 01:51:54,370 changed it is possible to be manipulated 2509 01:51:59,340 --> 01:51:57,400 if we allow ourselves to be and I think 2510 01:52:03,060 --> 01:51:59,350 so few people are really plugged into 2511 01:52:06,390 --> 01:52:03,070 that media any longer than I think those 2512 01:52:09,930 --> 01:52:06,400 that are probably in the minority yeah I 2513 01:52:14,850 --> 01:52:09,940 found that when I would go to a 2514 01:52:17,430 --> 01:52:14,860 conference or you know head out that I 2515 01:52:19,500 --> 01:52:17,440 would I would consciously did I would 2516 01:52:22,940 --> 01:52:19,510 make the decision to disconnect in other 2517 01:52:27,030 --> 01:52:22,950 words no internet no cell phones no 2518 01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:27,040 social media no television on in the 2519 01:52:30,670 --> 01:52:28,370 hotel room nothing 2520 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:30,680 and I would come back and I would I 2521 01:52:38,740 --> 01:52:34,970 would relax I'd come back from those 2522 01:52:42,100 --> 01:52:38,750 escapes and turn out and get connected 2523 01:52:44,200 --> 01:52:42,110 again and find myself physically change 2524 01:52:46,930 --> 01:52:44,210 and I thought okay you know what there 2525 01:52:49,690 --> 01:52:46,940 is actually something going on here and 2526 01:52:52,510 --> 01:52:49,700 and that's what I that's what I had to 2527 01:52:54,850 --> 01:52:52,520 do well sure so here's what's happening 2528 01:52:56,620 --> 01:52:54,860 and it started right after 9/11 and I 2529 01:52:58,210 --> 01:52:56,630 think you probably are very aware of 2530 01:53:01,990 --> 01:52:58,220 that being in the industry that you're 2531 01:53:03,820 --> 01:53:02,000 in it was almost the next day all of a 2532 01:53:06,610 --> 01:53:03,830 sudden the way that we receive our news 2533 01:53:09,820 --> 01:53:06,620 changed the music that was playing in 2534 01:53:11,830 --> 01:53:09,830 the background the visuals right the way 2535 01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:11,840 information was being presented to us it 2536 01:53:17,890 --> 01:53:14,570 changed almost overnight so what has 2537 01:53:19,660 --> 01:53:17,900 happened is that we are if we allow 2538 01:53:23,260 --> 01:53:19,670 ourselves we plugged in to those new 2539 01:53:26,830 --> 01:53:23,270 cycles so we're constantly fed crises 2540 01:53:28,780 --> 01:53:26,840 that have no resolution so what happens 2541 01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:28,790 is we hear things that we cannot 2542 01:53:33,790 --> 01:53:31,250 possibly solve or do anything about the 2543 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:33,800 threaten us our families our well-being 2544 01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:37,250 our future our economic well-being our 2545 01:53:42,550 --> 01:53:39,530 physical well-being 2546 01:53:45,040 --> 01:53:42,560 that's stress so our bodies are 2547 01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:45,050 responding can respond with a stress 2548 01:53:48,010 --> 01:53:45,770 response 2549 01:53:50,460 --> 01:53:48,020 it's called fight or flight and so those 2550 01:53:53,380 --> 01:53:50,470 are high levels of cortisol adrenaline 2551 01:53:55,570 --> 01:53:53,390 shifting of the brain chemistry to 2552 01:53:57,190 --> 01:53:55,580 accommodate stress which is okay for 2553 01:53:59,350 --> 01:53:57,200 short periods of time but when there's 2554 01:54:02,080 --> 01:53:59,360 no resolution and that goes on day after 2555 01:54:03,310 --> 01:54:02,090 day you know hour after hour and then 2556 01:54:04,810 --> 01:54:03,320 you go to work and your coworkers 2557 01:54:08,260 --> 01:54:04,820 reinforce it because of what they've 2558 01:54:10,090 --> 01:54:08,270 seen that changes our chemistry it 2559 01:54:12,670 --> 01:54:10,100 changes our physiology it changes our 2560 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:12,680 biology and there are some people that 2561 01:54:17,320 --> 01:54:15,650 are it can be very addictive Jimmy the 2562 01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:17,330 some of those chemicals are very 2563 01:54:24,130 --> 01:54:20,810 addictive and I know people that are 2564 01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:24,140 really caught up in that but you have to 2565 01:54:28,210 --> 01:54:25,850 ask yourself when you finish watching 2566 01:54:30,970 --> 01:54:28,220 one of those programs what you've just 2567 01:54:33,820 --> 01:54:30,980 said Jimmy how do I feel when I finish 2568 01:54:36,280 --> 01:54:33,830 do I feel closer to my family or do I 2569 01:54:39,460 --> 01:54:36,290 feel closer to my neighbors do I feel 2570 01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:39,470 closer to my community am i angry you 2571 01:54:42,550 --> 01:54:40,730 know when you go to bed at night you 2572 01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:42,560 know how those things make you feel and 2573 01:54:47,860 --> 01:54:45,890 and an honor honest answer to those 2574 01:54:49,090 --> 01:54:47,870 questions I think tells us everything 2575 01:54:52,030 --> 01:54:49,100 that we need to know about our 2576 01:54:55,780 --> 01:54:52,040 relationship to those new cycles how do 2577 01:54:57,780 --> 01:54:55,790 you how do you avoid negativity how do 2578 01:55:00,160 --> 01:54:57,790 you keep yourself grounded 2579 01:55:04,990 --> 01:55:00,170 you mean negativity from other people 2580 01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:05,000 yes yes yes you know I I'm really 2581 01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:08,690 blessed in that this is the 36th year 2582 01:55:16,420 --> 01:55:10,730 I've done this work in one form or 2583 01:55:18,220 --> 01:55:16,430 another and I have not been in every 2584 01:55:21,400 --> 01:55:18,230 nation but I've been on every continent 2585 01:55:25,060 --> 01:55:21,410 and I have to tell you it's because of 2586 01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:25,070 that that I'm optimistic the people of 2587 01:55:29,020 --> 01:55:26,930 this world to me the people of the world 2588 01:55:31,420 --> 01:55:29,030 I think are pretty much good people I 2589 01:55:33,010 --> 01:55:31,430 mean there's always exceptions but the 2590 01:55:34,900 --> 01:55:33,020 people aren't having the problems people 2591 01:55:36,730 --> 01:55:34,910 know how to share resources they know 2592 01:55:39,700 --> 01:55:36,740 how to share food and water and and 2593 01:55:41,380 --> 01:55:39,710 energy and and while they may not always 2594 01:55:43,990 --> 01:55:41,390 like one another I think people 2595 01:55:46,570 --> 01:55:44,000 typically love one another and I've seen 2596 01:55:48,100 --> 01:55:46,580 people you know total strangers risk 2597 01:55:49,690 --> 01:55:48,110 their lives for other strangers without 2598 01:55:52,510 --> 01:55:49,700 even given in the second thought it's 2599 01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:52,520 like we're wired to do that so it's not 2600 01:55:56,590 --> 01:55:54,050 the people that are having the problems 2601 01:55:58,450 --> 01:55:56,600 generally it's a handful of individuals 2602 01:56:00,520 --> 01:55:58,460 and positions of power 2603 01:56:02,860 --> 01:56:00,530 that are bumping chests it's not the 2604 01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:02,870 everyday person on the street and the 2605 01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:05,090 everyday person on the street is now 2606 01:56:10,660 --> 01:56:09,050 awakening to the fact that something has 2607 01:56:13,630 --> 01:56:10,670 shifted on the planet something's 2608 01:56:17,350 --> 01:56:13,640 changing in the world and that something 2609 01:56:20,470 --> 01:56:17,360 can no longer be ignored and you're 2610 01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:20,480 seeing that reflected in the the systems 2611 01:56:24,460 --> 01:56:22,730 that are collapsing you know the only 2612 01:56:26,070 --> 01:56:24,470 systems that are breaking down are the 2613 01:56:28,660 --> 01:56:26,080 ones that are unsustainable 2614 01:56:31,450 --> 01:56:28,670 unsustainable economies unsustainable 2615 01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:31,460 ways of producing energy unsustainable 2616 01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:34,090 ways of containing and confining people 2617 01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:36,170 those are the only systems that are 2618 01:56:40,090 --> 01:56:37,370 breaking down there's a lot of other 2619 01:56:43,480 --> 01:56:40,100 systems that are are just fine because 2620 01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:43,490 they are based upon sustainable ways of 2621 01:56:47,920 --> 01:56:46,250 thinking and living what we learn and 2622 01:56:50,350 --> 01:56:47,930 this is the value you know we're 2623 01:56:52,990 --> 01:56:50,360 covering so much ground and in so many 2624 01:56:56,009 --> 01:56:53,000 topics but they're all pieces of the 2625 01:57:00,370 --> 01:56:56,019 same story I mean what we learn from 2626 01:57:03,359 --> 01:57:00,380 from these cycles of the past and and we 2627 01:57:05,589 --> 01:57:03,369 look at how climate has driven 2628 01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:05,599 civilization cycles and we look at how 2629 01:57:10,689 --> 01:57:08,570 war has been a consequence of changing 2630 01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:10,699 climate and in the competition for 2631 01:57:13,620 --> 01:57:12,650 resources you know and we're doing the 2632 01:57:16,390 --> 01:57:13,630 same thing right now 2633 01:57:19,870 --> 01:57:16,400 but what we find when we we look at 2634 01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:19,880 those cycles is that the key to 2635 01:57:26,799 --> 01:57:24,170 successfully navigating the kinds of 2636 01:57:29,379 --> 01:57:26,809 changes that we're seeing is on the 2637 01:57:32,319 --> 01:57:29,389 outside is what we call localized living 2638 01:57:35,169 --> 01:57:32,329 so where we're not dependent on a 2639 01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:35,179 central anything no central forms of 2640 01:57:42,129 --> 01:57:39,010 energy no central forms of you know of 2641 01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:42,139 economy or Commerce localized Commerce 2642 01:57:46,600 --> 01:57:45,050 localized agriculture you know and we're 2643 01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:46,610 doing this farm-to-table is a perfect 2644 01:57:50,140 --> 01:57:47,690 example right 2645 01:57:51,989 --> 01:57:50,150 yeah localized banking where the the 2646 01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:51,999 money stays in your community and and 2647 01:57:57,669 --> 01:57:56,210 now that we know that we're in a cycle 2648 01:57:59,919 --> 01:57:57,679 where the climate is changing I'm a 2649 01:58:03,640 --> 01:57:59,929 geologist I mean I can see this stuff in 2650 01:58:04,569 --> 01:58:03,650 in the in the ice core records and 2651 01:58:06,850 --> 01:58:04,579 that's the whole point 2652 01:58:08,529 --> 01:58:06,860 climate change is a fact it's not 2653 01:58:10,060 --> 01:58:08,539 happening for the reasons that we're 2654 01:58:13,870 --> 01:58:10,070 being led to believe this has been 2655 01:58:16,270 --> 01:58:13,880 politicized but it is happening and we 2656 01:58:19,629 --> 01:58:16,280 have to make a choice are we going to 2657 01:58:23,319 --> 01:58:19,639 adapt to the changes that history that 2658 01:58:24,609 --> 01:58:23,329 the earth shows us happen on a cyclic 2659 01:58:26,859 --> 01:58:24,619 basis they've been happening since 2660 01:58:28,479 --> 01:58:26,869 before humans appeared you could see 2661 01:58:30,279 --> 01:58:28,489 that in the ice core record so we showed 2662 01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:30,289 up 200 thousand years ago we're looking 2663 01:58:35,020 --> 01:58:33,050 at it climate cycles much more extreme 2664 01:58:36,819 --> 01:58:35,030 than what we have right now that go back 2665 01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:36,829 twice that over 400 thousand years 2666 01:58:44,680 --> 01:58:40,610 before present so you know why not adapt 2667 01:58:47,109 --> 01:58:44,690 to these cycles de-centralized so that 2668 01:58:49,359 --> 01:58:47,119 when a big storm that we know is going 2669 01:58:52,540 --> 01:58:49,369 to happen hits the the Northeast for 2670 01:58:54,850 --> 01:58:52,550 example that localized sources of food 2671 01:58:56,410 --> 01:58:54,860 are able to get into the grocery stores 2672 01:58:59,259 --> 01:58:56,420 they're not depending on on trucks 2673 01:59:01,239 --> 01:58:59,269 moving across icy highways and why not 2674 01:59:03,939 --> 01:59:01,249 harden the power grid put those power 2675 01:59:05,830 --> 01:59:03,949 lines underground so yeah the ice storms 2676 01:59:07,450 --> 01:59:05,840 are going to happen every year but 2677 01:59:09,189 --> 01:59:07,460 doesn't mean you have to lose power to 2678 01:59:10,010 --> 01:59:09,199 your hospitals and do your homes and 2679 01:59:12,200 --> 01:59:10,020 take Heat in your 2680 01:59:15,020 --> 01:59:12,210 home and think of all the people that 2681 01:59:16,250 --> 01:59:15,030 would be employed by by hardening that 2682 01:59:17,510 --> 01:59:16,260 power grid think of all the trees that 2683 01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:17,520 you don't have to cut down to make 2684 01:59:21,500 --> 01:59:19,530 telephone poles that are destroyed every 2685 01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:21,510 year I mean it just common sense these 2686 01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:24,330 are just very simple very simple things 2687 01:59:28,160 --> 01:59:26,250 that that makes sense 2688 01:59:30,770 --> 01:59:28,170 when we understand where we are in the 2689 01:59:33,110 --> 01:59:30,780 cycles if we don't understand those 2690 01:59:36,710 --> 01:59:33,120 cycles and my mom was a perfect example 2691 01:59:38,300 --> 01:59:36,720 of this when when she and I we can't 2692 01:59:40,010 --> 01:59:38,310 have these conversations any longer she 2693 01:59:42,890 --> 01:59:40,020 doesn't she doesn't even know who I am 2694 01:59:44,570 --> 01:59:42,900 right now but before that happened to 2695 01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:44,580 her we were able to have these 2696 01:59:48,980 --> 01:59:47,610 conversations and and she felt like the 2697 01:59:52,760 --> 01:59:48,990 world was just falling apart at the 2698 01:59:54,080 --> 01:59:52,770 seams and it's easy to think that if you 2699 01:59:55,700 --> 01:59:54,090 don't step back and look at the big 2700 01:59:58,730 --> 01:59:55,710 picture and see where we are in the 2701 02:00:01,880 --> 01:59:58,740 cycles the cycles are intense in their 2702 02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:01,890 brief and it's it's where we are in the 2703 02:00:07,160 --> 02:00:05,010 cycle that I think determines how the 2704 02:00:09,530 --> 02:00:07,170 options we have and how we respond so 2705 02:00:10,910 --> 02:00:09,540 I'm just giving a couple of examples you 2706 02:00:12,620 --> 02:00:10,920 know when it comes to climate but it 2707 02:00:14,690 --> 02:00:12,630 goes for economy and it goes for 2708 02:00:17,510 --> 02:00:14,700 conflict all of these are following 2709 02:00:19,910 --> 02:00:17,520 rhythms and cycles in nature yeah one of 2710 02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:19,920 the real interesting things that I've 2711 02:00:26,240 --> 02:00:22,490 seen as a scientist is this is the way 2712 02:00:29,330 --> 02:00:26,250 that nature functions nature creates 2713 02:00:32,210 --> 02:00:29,340 systems that become more and more and 2714 02:00:34,460 --> 02:00:32,220 more complex until they are 2715 02:00:37,430 --> 02:00:34,470 unsustainable in their complexity and 2716 02:00:39,500 --> 02:00:37,440 then they collapse but they don't go all 2717 02:00:43,010 --> 02:00:39,510 the way back to zero they collapse to 2718 02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:43,020 give way to a higher order so I'm seeing 2719 02:00:50,270 --> 02:00:46,170 the collapse of unsustainably complex 2720 02:00:52,850 --> 02:00:50,280 systems to give way to a higher order in 2721 02:00:55,820 --> 02:00:52,860 our personal lives and our communities 2722 02:00:58,550 --> 02:00:55,830 and our nations with economies with 2723 02:01:00,530 --> 02:00:58,560 energy but it's all happening and it's 2724 02:01:02,780 --> 02:01:00,540 really compressed period of time Jimmy 2725 02:01:04,940 --> 02:01:02,790 and if if no one tells us that it looks 2726 02:01:06,650 --> 02:01:04,950 really scary but if you know what's 2727 02:01:07,880 --> 02:01:06,660 happening you could see light at the 2728 02:01:11,090 --> 02:01:07,890 other end of the tunnel and then you say 2729 02:01:13,340 --> 02:01:11,100 well what are the let's make the best 2730 02:01:15,050 --> 02:01:13,350 choices possible what what's the best 2731 02:01:17,150 --> 02:01:15,060 decision based on what we know and this 2732 02:01:18,770 --> 02:01:17,160 is where all the science that we're 2733 02:01:21,590 --> 02:01:18,780 talking about tonight and much more this 2734 02:01:23,390 --> 02:01:21,600 is where the science comes in and the 2735 02:01:23,870 --> 02:01:23,400 wisdom of our past because we're not the 2736 02:01:25,850 --> 02:01:23,880 first 2737 02:01:27,379 --> 02:01:25,860 been through these cycles you know what 2738 02:01:27,919 --> 02:01:27,389 can we learn from those who have come 2739 02:01:32,660 --> 02:01:27,929 before us 2740 02:01:33,740 --> 02:01:32,670 I firmly believe and I walk or I say 2741 02:01:35,540 --> 02:01:33,750 this all the time 2742 02:01:38,990 --> 02:01:35,550 that I walk around with flowers hanging 2743 02:01:42,260 --> 02:01:39,000 out of my pockets and and I say that not 2744 02:01:46,100 --> 02:01:42,270 to be naive but I know that we 2745 02:01:48,439 --> 02:01:46,110 eventually are going to mature we're 2746 02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:48,449 gonna grow up and we're gonna figure all 2747 02:01:55,700 --> 02:01:52,170 of this out I don't see the dark side in 2748 02:01:58,520 --> 02:01:55,710 our future I just don't and I totally 2749 02:02:01,010 --> 02:01:58,530 agree with you there's there's a way out 2750 02:02:03,879 --> 02:02:01,020 there is a path forward and I'm excited 2751 02:02:06,410 --> 02:02:03,889 for our children and our grandchildren 2752 02:02:09,050 --> 02:02:06,420 you know and and that's that's the 2753 02:02:11,840 --> 02:02:09,060 position that I will always have I want 2754 02:02:15,890 --> 02:02:11,850 to ask you a really quick before I do 2755 02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:15,900 let you go you do a lot of stuff around 2756 02:02:20,270 --> 02:02:18,330 the world you you lead a lot of tours 2757 02:02:23,330 --> 02:02:20,280 and you're always out there speaking 2758 02:02:26,930 --> 02:02:23,340 where's the best resource for everybody 2759 02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:26,940 to stay informed the best place the 2760 02:02:30,740 --> 02:02:28,650 one-stop shop where you can see 2761 02:02:34,340 --> 02:02:30,750 everything is my website is Gregg Braden 2762 02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:34,350 WW Gregg Braden calm and that's great 2763 02:02:40,370 --> 02:02:38,130 with two G's because because two g's is 2764 02:02:42,379 --> 02:02:40,380 just a Greg and one G is short for 2765 02:02:44,990 --> 02:02:42,389 Gregory and my mom didn't want me to be 2766 02:02:47,540 --> 02:02:45,000 a Gregory so so I'm just a plain old 2767 02:02:50,149 --> 02:02:47,550 Greg you're Gregg Braden calm and it's 2768 02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:50,159 got all of our

--> 02:05:50,100 you what did you get out of the show 2838 02:05:55,610 --> 02:05:53,880 tonight there was so much stuff my age 2839 02:05:58,280 --> 02:05:55,620 just kind of floating out there right 2840 02:06:03,530 --> 02:05:58,290 now so I can't pick one thing dude it 2841 02:06:09,140 --> 02:06:03,540 was just so much stuff yeah my my take 2842 02:06:13,760 --> 02:06:09,150 is this is science is where we do need 2843 02:06:17,450 --> 02:06:13,770 to constantly focus we need to 2844 02:06:20,180 --> 02:06:17,460 constantly look at the science and not 2845 02:06:22,220 --> 02:06:20,190 so much these it's about what we were 2846 02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:22,230 taught it's the science that is coming 2847 02:06:28,580 --> 02:06:25,770 out today and what we are learning it is 2848 02:06:30,710 --> 02:06:28,590 happening so fast and and I talked about 2849 02:06:35,180 --> 02:06:30,720 this in my lead-in into the show tonight 2850 02:06:38,420 --> 02:06:35,190 but it's exactly what Greg kept coming 2851 02:06:40,580 --> 02:06:38,430 back to tonight we can ignore the 2852 02:06:43,850 --> 02:06:40,590 science the science is speaking to us 2853 02:06:45,710 --> 02:06:43,860 science has always been about correcting 2854 02:06:47,680 --> 02:06:45,720 correcting correcting correcting 2855 02:06:50,050 --> 02:06:47,690 correcting 2856 02:06:53,470 --> 02:06:50,060 and presenting and that's what science 2857 02:06:56,530 --> 02:06:53,480 is about today science is is trying to 2858 02:06:58,660 --> 02:06:56,540 not correct things and he's absolutely 2859 02:07:00,880 --> 02:06:58,670 right the the what is happening right 2860 02:07:03,100 --> 02:07:00,890 now is something that we can all learn 2861 02:07:05,680 --> 02:07:03,110 from and there's gonna be a breakthrough 2862 02:07:08,170 --> 02:07:05,690 I don't know what it is I don't know if 2863 02:07:10,060 --> 02:07:08,180 it'll warming is gonna cause Antarctica 2864 02:07:12,820 --> 02:07:10,070 to melt and we find out that there's 2865 02:07:15,070 --> 02:07:12,830 some giant city there that is a hundred 2866 02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:15,080 thousand years old I don't know what 2867 02:07:19,510 --> 02:07:17,690 it's going to be but something is going 2868 02:07:23,530 --> 02:07:19,520 to happen and we can't ignore the 2869 02:07:28,420 --> 02:07:23,540 science today Pat hey I got a question 2870 02:07:33,190 --> 02:07:28,430 for you yes at what point did science 2871 02:07:37,330 --> 02:07:33,200 hit the gas pedal that you think I keep 2872 02:07:38,980 --> 02:07:37,340 going back to 1998 when I was a kid you 2873 02:07:40,780 --> 02:07:38,990 know it was so different than what it is 2874 02:07:42,130 --> 02:07:40,790 now it's just like something and I just 2875 02:07:44,440 --> 02:07:42,140 want to know what you think it was it 2876 02:07:46,780 --> 02:07:44,450 made everything just kick off yeah if 2877 02:07:50,110 --> 02:07:46,790 you go back 1998 is such an important 2878 02:07:54,220 --> 02:07:50,120 year for so many different reasons but 2879 02:07:58,390 --> 02:07:54,230 if you go back and you look at 1998 the 2880 02:08:02,020 --> 02:07:58,400 breakthroughs that happened not only in 2881 02:08:06,700 --> 02:08:02,030 cosmology but in physics and in quantum 2882 02:08:10,360 --> 02:08:06,710 physics and and biology and and and the 2883 02:08:13,450 --> 02:08:10,370 medical side 1998 was a crazy year and 2884 02:08:16,270 --> 02:08:13,460 it forced other scientists to step back 2885 02:08:19,540 --> 02:08:16,280 and go wait a minute we've got a lot of 2886 02:08:23,230 --> 02:08:19,550 exploring to do we've now corrected so 2887 02:08:26,380 --> 02:08:23,240 many things from the past in 1998 that 2888 02:08:29,950 --> 02:08:26,390 moving forward it's been breakneck since 2889 02:08:32,530 --> 02:08:29,960 1998 and yeah I think 1998 was the year 2890 02:08:35,170 --> 02:08:32,540 that forced other scientists around the 2891 02:08:39,420 --> 02:08:35,180 world to start to rethink things and you 2892 02:08:42,280 --> 02:08:39,430 can also throw in gobekli tepe as well I 2893 02:08:44,230 --> 02:08:42,290 appreciate that goodies man you do
