rita louise

4
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:22,080
we have learned from einstein's theory

5
00:00:26,230 --> 00:00:24,160
that matter and energy are one

6
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:26,240
physicists believe that all systems in

7
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:28,080
nature have their own particular way of

8
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:29,840
vibrating from the swinging of a

9
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:32,000
pendulum to the waves of the ocean to

10
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:33,920
the light that brightens the sky each

11
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:36,239
day each of these oscillates at its own

12
00:00:40,310 --> 00:00:38,160
unique rate the same holds true for

13
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:40,320
every thought feeling event or word we

14
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,800
speak each has its own frequency or rate

15
00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:44,960
of vibration what many of us don't

16
00:00:49,510 --> 00:00:46,879
realize is when we take everything in

17
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:49,520
our universe down to its simplest form

18
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,239
it is all just energy

19
00:00:56,869 --> 00:00:54,399
join dr rita louise on a journey through

20
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,879
time and space where past present and

21
00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:58,399
future collide

22
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:01,120
today what you believe may be called

23
00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:03,680
into question what we want to know is

24
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:05,760
who made up the rules

25
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:08,560
be brave and step outside the box we are

26
00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,720
about to turn our world upside down and

27
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:12,799
venture into the unknown

28
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:15,520
hold on we are departing our own beliefs

29
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:18,320
and entering alternative realms

counseled innumerable people who whose

83
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:22,800
mortality has been threatened by illness

84
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,680
dr bernie siegel embraces a philosophy

85
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:27,920
of living and dying that stands out in

86
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:30,560
the forefront of the medical ethics and

87
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:33,280
spiritual issues our society grapples

88
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:34,640

89
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:36,799

90
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:39,200
of new ground in the field of healing

91
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:42,000
and personal personally struggling to

92
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:45,680
live the message of kindness and love

93
00:03:49,550 --> 00:03:47,360

96
00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:53,760
jess energy radio

97
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:56,879
dr bernie siegel hey bernie how are you

98
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:00,319
all right every time your show begins my

99
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:02,640
mind starts flying i gotta mention

100
00:04:08,710 --> 00:04:05,840
number one that i find naturopaths to be

101
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:08,720
an enormous help in caring for cancer

102
00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,560
patients number two the word

103
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,480
possibilities that came up you know when

104
00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,480
you talk about miracles

105
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:17,040
our lives don't depend on statistics

106
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:19,600
things are possible and i've learned

107
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,160
from success when people don't die when

108
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:24,800
they're supposed to i say how come you

109
00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:28,080
didn't die and they always have a story

110
00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:29,759
you know as one woman said when you live

111
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:31,600
in your heart magic happens

112
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:34,800
and then ernest holmes science of mind

113
00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,280
i love this sentence he wrote in one of

114
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:39,040
his books and i know he was smiling when

115
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:41,440
he wrote it what if jesus was the only

116
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,000
normal person who ever lived

117
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:46,560
so think about our potential that's a

118
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:48,800
word i always use with people and if

119
00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:52,000
you're not afraid of failing hey you try

120
00:04:56,230 --> 00:04:53,280
you see if you can achieve your

121
00:05:00,550 --> 00:04:56,240
potential

122
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:02,870
bernie i wanted to ask you

123
00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:04,880
what got you inspired to write your book

124
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:07,440
of miracles in the first place

125
00:05:10,469 --> 00:05:08,400
it's

126
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:10,479
you know to open people's minds because

127
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:13,440
they're all stories as i say you know

128
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:16,000
that these are not just about physical

129
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:17,360
problems

130
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,680
but they're interesting

131
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:21,600
things that happen to people

132
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,919
you're walking in a national park in a

133
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,639
fog you hear a voice that means

134
00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:29,120
something to you so you stop and turn

135
00:05:33,749 --> 00:05:32,400
around and the next day there's no fog

136
00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:33,759
and you

137
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,240
realize you would be dead today

138
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:38,560
if you hadn't turned and responded to

139
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:39,680
the voice

140
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:40,960
because

141
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:42,880
there was a cliff and a couple more

142
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:45,280
steps she would have been off the cliff

143
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:47,360
you have a dream a woman appears and

144
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:50,000
says there's a lump in your right breast

145
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,720
she has dark skin she has an accent

146
00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:54,800
you go to the hospital they diagnose it

147
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:56,080
as cancer

148
00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,199
who walks in to take care of you a woman

149
00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,160
physician from india who is the woman in

150
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:04,319
your dream

151
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:07,520
now yeah and about 90 years ago carl

152
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:09,680
jung interpreted a dream and diagnosed a

153
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,919
brain tumor nobody tells that to medical

154
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:13,199
students

155
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:15,440
we should be saying to people what are

156
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:16,639
you dreaming

157
00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:18,880
what do you know about your body and

158
00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:20,479
that's why i got into whether you call

159
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:23,199
them miracles or just consciousness and

160
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:25,840
the drawings by patients that patients

161
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:28,880
draw their anatomy they draw the future

162
00:06:33,749 --> 00:06:31,440
one child in the waiting room drew a

163
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,759
picture of the operating room it's

164
00:06:37,909 --> 00:06:36,160
symbolic but everybody who looked at it

165
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:37,919
knew that she was drawing an operating

166
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:39,680
room she'd never been in

167
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:41,840
meaning there were two yellow objects

168
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,520
and there are two lights in there with

169
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,000
black knobs on them and she drew four

170
00:06:50,550 --> 00:06:48,800
four black knobs and other you know the

171
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,560
number of people the colors of the

172
00:06:53,590 --> 00:06:52,479
drapes that you cover patients with i

173
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:53,600
mean it's just

174
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,680
unbelievable but that's what converted

175
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:57,440
people in the hospital

176
00:07:03,830 --> 00:07:00,160
so i went from being crazy

177
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,840
to interesting then they made a drawing

178
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:06,080
you know the operating room created a

179
00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:08,560
drawing book for kids to color in before

180
00:07:12,790 --> 00:07:09,759
surgery

181
00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:12,800
and some of the kids now on one page it

182
00:07:17,189 --> 00:07:15,440
said you will meet an anesthesiologist

183
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:17,199
who's wearing an outfit that looks like

184
00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:19,440
green pajamas

185
00:07:23,230 --> 00:07:20,880
hey it tells you

186
00:07:25,029 --> 00:07:23,240
and what does a child draw a red

187
00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:25,039
anesthesiologist

188
00:07:32,230 --> 00:07:29,680
there's danger his mother has muscular

189
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,240
dystrophy he may have a genetic defect

190
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,000
and be

191
00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,400
severely damaged by muscle relaxants

192
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,479
because he'll go into contractions not

193
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,880
relaxation raise body temperature damage

194
00:07:44,790 --> 00:07:43,039
his brain i said hey look at the last

195
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:44,800
page if he draws himself purple a

196
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,520
spiritual color i'm sending him home

197
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:49,199
because he may be saying

198
00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:51,280
i'm gonna die in the operating room well

199
00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:53,759
the last page was red and black you know

200
00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:56,400
it hurts we operate and i'm not happy

201
00:08:02,150 --> 00:07:59,759
being here so we went ahead but again

202
00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,160
how does a child intuitively know that

203
00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:04,879
and believe me it's not an accident

204
00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,240
you know i mean i've had enough

205
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,400
experience but

206
00:08:12,950 --> 00:08:10,639
again the crazy medical profession i

207
00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:12,960
sent articles to medical journals

208
00:08:15,909 --> 00:08:14,639
yes this is interesting but it's not

209
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:15,919
appropriate

210
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,240
i sent them to psychology and psychiatry

211
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:20,479
journals yes it's appropriate but it's

212
00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:22,479
not interesting we know this

213
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:24,960
that's the part that drives me nuts

214
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:28,000
doctors treat the result not the cause

215
00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:29,520
you know it's like having electricians

216
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:31,919
and plumbers they can't

217
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:34,080
do the other one's work and and as

218
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,320
doctors we become so specialized we

219
00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,880
don't take care of the person

220
00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:40,560
we take care of

221
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:42,479
the diagnosis

222
00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:45,680
and i learned to take care of people

223
00:08:50,389 --> 00:08:48,880
and when you took care of people

224
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:50,399
they didn't die when they were supposed

225
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:51,279
to

226
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:54,480
you know see solzhenitsyn in his book uh

227
00:08:58,870 --> 00:08:57,760
cancer ward uses a wonderful term

228
00:09:00,550 --> 00:08:58,880
if somebody gets well and they're not

229
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:00,560
supposed to doctors will say oh you had

230
00:09:04,470 --> 00:09:02,880
a spontaneous remission or a miracle see

231
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,480
well what the hell do you learn from it

232
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,480
nothing you're lucky

233
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,399
but souls solzhenitsyn talks about

234
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:10,800
self-induced healing fluttering out of

235
00:09:15,269 --> 00:09:12,240
the book

236
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:15,279
like a rainbow-colored butterfly

237
00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,120
when i read that

238
00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:19,680
he knows the story the rainbow is your

239
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:21,120
life in order

240
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:22,720
the butterfly is a symbol of

241
00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,160
transformation

242
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:26,640
you want good things to happen

243
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:29,760
transform your life create harmony and

244
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,800
order

245
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:32,160
and your body

246
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:34,640
changes its chemistry

247
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:36,160
i always say if i have to summarize

248
00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:37,760
everything i'm trying to teach people is

249
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:40,480
love your life and love your body

250
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:43,279
but you said something really important

251
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,800
is that

252
00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:47,040
when we change our mood and change our

253
00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:48,880
expression it changes the chemistry

254
00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,680
inside of us which changes everything

255
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:53,839
yeah it's all physical

256
00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:55,839
i mean it's not you know

257
00:10:00,710 --> 00:09:58,080
just what you're imagining i mean i have

258
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:00,720
a crazy mantra every morning that i put

259
00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:02,560
together from

260
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:05,920
lao tzu zen therapist psychologists and

261
00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:07,839
others you know it's about eight or nine

262
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:09,519
or ten lines i don't know if you want to

263
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:12,480
hear it sure why not yeah because my

264
00:10:16,069 --> 00:10:14,000
wife has multiple sclerosis when i'm

265
00:10:17,670 --> 00:10:16,079
getting her to exercise i say it and it

266
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:17,680
perks her up

267
00:10:21,829 --> 00:10:19,200
thank you for everything i have no

268
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:21,839
complaint whatsoever i am happy i am

269
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,600
healthy i love my life my family my body

270
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:27,200
and my pets

271
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:30,000
i am content with what i have i have all

272
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:37,190
i rejoice in the way things are nothing

273
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:41,920
is lacking the whole world belongs to me

274
00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:44,560
and you feel better after you say that

275
00:10:47,509 --> 00:10:46,399
what i really like about that

276
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,519
is you're not

277
00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,920
asking for anything you're not begging

278
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,320
for anything it's more like you're

279
00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:54,480
accepting and coming to terms with that

280
00:10:59,350 --> 00:10:56,880
and changing my attitude

281
00:11:01,350 --> 00:10:59,360
and the reason i do it is i know i feel

282
00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:01,360
better when i say it no matter what's

283
00:11:05,829 --> 00:11:03,680
going on that morning but i also know

284
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:05,839
from studies by psychologists who were

285
00:11:09,670 --> 00:11:07,920
doing these things

286
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,680
that three to six months later people

287
00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:11,120
said hey it works

288
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:12,800
because in the beginning i had to laugh

289
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:14,560
at some of the stories i was reading

290
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:15,920
what good is that going to do i have no

291
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:17,440
complaint whatsoever i got plenty of

292
00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:19,760
trouble but you know when the therapist

293
00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:22,160
kept saying just keep repeating it three

294
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:23,839
months later they'd come in saying you

295
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:26,399
know i do feel better

296
00:11:29,590 --> 00:11:28,240
but you have to be willing to give it a

297
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:29,600
try so

298
00:11:33,670 --> 00:11:31,680
i experiment with myself then i know

299
00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,680
it's not my imagination i mean that it's

300
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:36,000
really working not because i believe in

301
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:38,000
it or have faith in it i mean that works

302
00:11:42,389 --> 00:11:40,160
too and i do that with people if they

303
00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:42,399
believe in me yeah i help them

304
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:45,200
with the beliefs but i know it works

305
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:47,440
because i'm testing

306
00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,360
it on myself

307
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:51,279
and my wife too because i see it makes a

308
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,870
um

309
00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,040
with you doing that work with her have

310
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,680
you noticed changes in her

311
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:03,680
physical ability

312
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,440
or less less

313
00:12:09,110 --> 00:12:07,600
like a couple of flights of stairs that

314
00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:09,120
are in the house on the way to the

315
00:12:13,350 --> 00:12:11,200
kitchen to have breakfast so that's like

316
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:13,360
our first exercise in the morning and i

317
00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:16,240
can see that her steps you know are more

318
00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:20,320
rhythmic and energized going up and down

319
00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:21,120
than

320
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:22,800
if i don't say it

321
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:25,360
and sometimes if i forget she'll start

322
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:28,800
saying it and it clicks you know it's

323
00:12:32,949 --> 00:12:31,440
like a rhythm if each step is

324
00:12:35,110 --> 00:12:32,959
thank you for everything i have no

325
00:12:37,430 --> 00:12:35,120
complaint whatsoever i am happy i am

326
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:37,440
healthy you know you get into a rhythm

327
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:40,160
and and it improves everything

328
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,560
and she puts up with me

329
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:44,399
well and that's you know probably a good

330
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:47,440
thing right there yeah

331
00:12:52,310 --> 00:12:48,880
yeah because she has a good sense of

332
00:12:54,389 --> 00:12:52,320
humor too and uh you know she teaches me

333
00:12:56,710 --> 00:12:54,399
she's my therapist i'm her therapist so

334
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,720
we help each other

335
00:13:01,190 --> 00:12:58,320
it just seems that

336
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:01,200
people don't

337
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:04,800
realize or understand that

338
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:06,959
they can learn so much from the things

339
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:09,680
they say from the situations that happen

340
00:13:13,509 --> 00:13:11,519
around them from the situations they

341
00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:13,519
find themselves in

342
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:15,360
from the people that they interact with

343
00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:18,480
don't you think yeah and it's crazy that

344
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:21,440
in medicine they don't study success

345
00:13:25,990 --> 00:13:23,920
i mean i can't tell you how many people

346
00:13:27,670 --> 00:13:26,000
well a lawyer

347
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,680
he was told he had a five percent chance

348
00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:29,839
of living two years when his car is

349
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,240
being fixed he went into used bookstore

350
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:34,399
found my book

351
00:13:38,389 --> 00:13:36,800
love medicine and miracles read it

352
00:13:40,150 --> 00:13:38,399
transformed his life his cancer

353
00:13:42,069 --> 00:13:40,160
disappeared

354
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:42,079
now if i were his doctor i'd say what

355
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:43,760
the hell did you do let me tell other

356
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:46,399
patients his doctor said no i'm not

357
00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:47,680
interested

358
00:13:50,069 --> 00:13:49,120
you know you're lucky i'm glad it

359
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,079
happened

360
00:13:54,870 --> 00:13:52,160
i mean that's ridiculous

361
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:54,880
we need to learn from success

362
00:13:59,430 --> 00:13:57,279
you know what is it that you did that i

363
00:14:00,870 --> 00:13:59,440
could say to another patient

364
00:14:02,629 --> 00:14:00,880
to have it happen

365
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,639
and that's something i learned because

366
00:14:06,710 --> 00:14:04,320
i'd be out lecturing and see people in

367
00:14:08,230 --> 00:14:06,720
the audience i thought we're dead

368
00:14:10,389 --> 00:14:08,240
and because i worked with three other

369
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:10,399
surgeons so we had a lot of patience you

370
00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:12,160
know and sometimes

371
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:13,360
hey they're not coming back to the

372
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:16,880
office oh they must have died and then

373
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:19,440
who's out there the patient

374
00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:20,880
i mean i have one story if i have a

375
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:23,519
moment to tell you this was a landscaper

376
00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:26,320
see there's a poem by w h orden about

377
00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:27,600
cancer

378
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:29,120
childless women get it and then when

379
00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:31,440
they retire it's as if there had to be

380
00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:34,320
an outlet for their foiled creative fire

381
00:14:38,550 --> 00:14:36,079
now a doctor said just because it rhymes

382
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:38,560
doesn't make it true but it is true

383
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,240
loneliness affects the genes that

384
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:42,160
control immune function

385
00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:44,560
so a landscaper retires develops an

386
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:46,320
ulcer and to make a long story short

387
00:14:50,069 --> 00:14:47,680
when it didn't heal

388
00:14:51,829 --> 00:14:50,079
biopsy shows cancer

389
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:51,839
i operate on him

390
00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,760
but when i said to him i need to get you

391
00:14:56,710 --> 00:14:55,680
right in the hospital he said no

392
00:14:58,389 --> 00:14:56,720
i want to go home make the world

393
00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:58,399
beautiful so if i die leave a beautiful

394
00:15:01,829 --> 00:15:00,079
world

395
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:01,839
a couple weeks later he came back we

396
00:15:05,350 --> 00:15:03,199
operate

397
00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,360
i said john i can't cure you you need

398
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:07,519
more treatment no you forgot something

399
00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,760
but i forget it's springtime gotta go

400
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:11,360
make the world beautiful so when i die

401
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,360
leave a beautiful world

402
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:15,440
he never came back to the office until

403
00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:18,560
six years later i said to the nurse

404
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:20,480
when she handed me his chart i said he's

405
00:15:26,069 --> 00:15:22,800
dead we must have two people with the

406
00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,079
same name

407
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:28,480
and she said bernie open the door i

408
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:30,240
opened the door and john said i have a

409
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:32,000
hernia from lifting boulders in my

410
00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:34,000
landscape business

411
00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,199
john lived to 94.

412
00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:39,360
i gave a talk at his 70th wedding

413
00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,560
anniversary

414
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:43,040
to tell people what an incredible guy he

415
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:45,440
was and that he'd become my teacher

416
00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:47,360
about how beautiful life and the world

417
00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:48,480
was

418
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,720
and when his wife died he

419
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:52,720
just sort of turned the switch off too

420
00:15:58,470 --> 00:15:55,680
to go with her but that's the kind of

421
00:16:01,350 --> 00:15:58,480
thing you see you hear a story that he's

422
00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:01,360
not lucky he's not having a spontaneous

423
00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:02,560
remission

424
00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:03,600
he is

425
00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:05,759
changing his life

426
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:07,600
and his body

427
00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:09,600
heals itself

428
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:12,880
that chemistry that message that energy

429
00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,360
you know it's all scientific and so i'd

430
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,680
say yeah we need to learn from john and

431
00:16:21,590 --> 00:16:20,160
we all need to go home and do that

432
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:21,600
even pets

433
00:16:25,910 --> 00:16:24,000
a study of people who had a heart attack

434
00:16:28,389 --> 00:16:25,920
if you had a dog in the house a year

435
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:28,399
later six percent of the people had died

436
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:30,959
no dog in the house 24 of the people had

437
00:16:34,470 --> 00:16:32,160
died

438
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:34,480
and to discuss love for a minute harvard

439
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:36,320
students asked did your parents love you

440
00:16:41,269 --> 00:16:37,680
they said no

441
00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:41,279
98 had suffered a major illness by

442
00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:42,399
middle age

443
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:45,519
of those who said yes i was loved about

444
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:49,120
25 had suffered a major illness

445
00:16:55,030 --> 00:16:51,920
that's why you want to change the world

446
00:16:57,590 --> 00:16:55,040
love the children

447
00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:57,600
that's amazing

448
00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:59,519
um

449
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:01,680
and and you know i keep thinking of

450
00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:04,000
people in the office suicidal teenager

451
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:06,319
said to me one day you're my cd

452
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:08,160
i said what are you talking about

453
00:17:13,189 --> 00:17:09,520
i'm a senior yeah what are you talking

454
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:13,199
about he said you're my chosen dad

455
00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:16,079
that's a cd a chosen dad

456
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:18,400
and that's what i learned that i

457
00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:19,520
became

458
00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:21,439
people's

459
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:23,919
parent and i loved them

460
00:17:27,029 --> 00:17:25,760
not just treated their disease but i

461
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:27,039
loved them

462
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:28,240
and

463
00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:29,840
it's very different than liking if you

464
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:31,120
know what i mean they may not like how

465
00:17:34,470 --> 00:17:33,520
they behaved but i let them know i love

466
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:34,480
you

467
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:36,880
then with time they realized they were

468
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:38,720
worth something and began to love

469
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:42,160
themselves and take care of themselves

470
00:17:47,190 --> 00:17:44,320
so i'd say to everybody

471
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,200
become a cm or a cd just tell people you

472
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:48,960
need a father you need a mother i'll be

473
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:50,240
that person

474
00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,039
and it affects them profoundly

475
00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:54,720
but the part that i find the most

476
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,000
interesting is that you are a doctor and

477
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,559
i think most people's experience with

478
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:02,720
their doctors

479
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:05,280
has nothing to do with who you are your

480
00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,440
personality and how it sounds like you

481
00:18:11,669 --> 00:18:08,960
treat your patients

482
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:11,679
yeah i'm not a normal doctor

483
00:18:15,430 --> 00:18:13,520
and that's it move to texas so you could

484
00:18:18,070 --> 00:18:15,440
be my doctor i mean not that i ever go

485
00:18:20,470 --> 00:18:18,080
to the doctor also said that those who

486
00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,480
seek to be normal it's because they feel

487
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:22,799
inadequate to begin with so i've never

488
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:25,280
worried about being normal you know i've

489
00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,720
just been myself see i shaved my head

490
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:30,880
back in the 1970s

491
00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:32,080
i had to

492
00:18:36,150 --> 00:18:34,240
that's the only thing i can tell you i

493
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:36,160
had this incredible urge i have to shave

494
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,120
my head

495
00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,600
our family our kids were so embarrassed

496
00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:41,440
you know by their father their hair's

497
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:43,280
down to their shoulders and i'm shaving

498
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:46,320
my head and looking bizarre i was enough

499
00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:48,640
of a problem already

500
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:49,919
and

501
00:18:57,669 --> 00:18:54,240
been in therapy i might have unknown

502
00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,679
this i came across again reading jung

503
00:19:03,029 --> 00:18:58,960
he said

504
00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:03,039
this story the hero's head is shaved

505
00:19:08,870 --> 00:19:06,320
it is called the tantra t-o-n-s-u-r-e

506
00:19:12,870 --> 00:19:08,880
what monks do to uncover their

507
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,880
spirituality and be like a newborn again

508
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:14,480
when i read that

509
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:16,480
i knew that was me

510
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:18,400
and i thought wow if i'd only seen a

511
00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:19,760
therapist

512
00:19:24,150 --> 00:19:21,360
maybe they would have explained that to

513
00:19:26,789 --> 00:19:24,160
me why i had this incredible urge but it

514
00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:26,799
just didn't seem to make any sense but i

515
00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:29,280
knew it was about uncovering because i

516
00:19:33,510 --> 00:19:31,520
have a self-portrait i was a painter

517
00:19:35,590 --> 00:19:33,520
part of i became a surgeon i felt was to

518
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:35,600
use my hands i was an artist

519
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:38,320
and i paint myself in a cat mask and

520
00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:39,520
gown the way you're dressed in the

521
00:19:43,430 --> 00:19:41,360
operating room you don't know it's a

522
00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:43,440
portrait of me

523
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,400
and

524
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:46,160
why do you would you paint yourself that

525
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:48,880
way i mean today i couldn't conceive of

526
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,720
that's your self-portrait because when

527
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:52,880
the family got tired of posing and our

528
00:19:57,909 --> 00:19:55,760
pets got tired sitting still i said oh

529
00:20:01,029 --> 00:19:57,919
i'll paint myself in a mirror

530
00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:01,039
and i covered myself up

531
00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:03,600
and it it all fit together what you

532
00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,320
needed to uncover is what was within you

533
00:20:10,470 --> 00:20:08,559
and that's true of everybody out there

534
00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:10,480
you keep it stored in you it'll cause

535
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:11,919
you trouble

536
00:20:15,350 --> 00:20:13,440
and if you're

537
00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:15,360
smart yeah you'll let the trouble wake

538
00:20:19,430 --> 00:20:17,440
you up and start your living again

539
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:19,440
um but i always say don't wait for a

540
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:20,880
disaster

541
00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:23,120
to then write a book to help everybody

542
00:20:28,789 --> 00:20:24,720
the books have been written

543
00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:30,710
here here

544
00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:33,679
way back a lot of decades ago and i

545
00:20:36,549 --> 00:20:35,200
didn't know this is not normal i thought

546
00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:36,559
hey this is what happens to everybody

547
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:38,400
when you die and i thought this is

548
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:39,840
really neat

549
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:41,840
i prefer being dead i'm sorry my parents

550
00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:44,080
will find me dead but

551
00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:50,230
people didn't come in to save me the kid

552
00:20:56,310 --> 00:20:54,159
on the bed had a seizure and vomited

553
00:20:58,710 --> 00:20:56,320
and the piece came loose and he took a

554
00:21:01,270 --> 00:20:58,720
breath and it was like a vacuum cleaner

555
00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:01,280
you know boom i was back in there

556
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:03,280
and again it gave me a different concept

557
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:04,960
of creation even though i was just four

558
00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,880
years old it's like hey it's not up to

559
00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:08,159
you kid

560
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:09,600
you know you don't make all the

561
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:10,880
decisions

562
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:13,360
there's something more to this

563
00:21:19,510 --> 00:21:16,640
and then many years later

564
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:19,520
i was very busy with interviews and

565
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:21,520
doing all kinds of things and writing

566
00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:23,520
books and a friend of mine over the

567
00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:26,320
phone said why are you living this life

568
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:28,880
because i was so busy

569
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:31,760
i said to her oh my god

570
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:33,200
she said what do you mean i said i've

571
00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:35,120
gone into a trance

572
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,120
because of what you just said

573
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:39,520
and to summarize it all

574
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:41,520
i saw myself with the sword in my hand

575
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:42,799
killing people

576
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:45,200
and animals and their pets

577
00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:46,960
um

578
00:21:51,430 --> 00:21:49,200
and i said wow maybe that's why i'm a

579
00:21:54,070 --> 00:21:51,440
surgeon to help people with a knife

580
00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:54,080
and even our home i always called it a

581
00:21:57,830 --> 00:21:55,039
zoo

582
00:21:58,789 --> 00:21:57,840
with our five kids who were like crew

583
00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:58,799
members

584
00:22:03,029 --> 00:22:01,440
i mean we had fenced in and i'm talking

585
00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,039
about an acre and a half you know we're

586
00:22:07,350 --> 00:22:05,120
not living on a farm we broke all the

587
00:22:09,430 --> 00:22:07,360
joining zoning laws we had animals

588
00:22:11,909 --> 00:22:09,440
fenced in the front yard goats and ducks

589
00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:11,919
and geese the house was filled with all

590
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:13,679
kinds of things and veterinarians gave

591
00:22:18,549 --> 00:22:16,320
us all kinds of exotic pets roaming the

592
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:18,559
house everybody was family i mean i know

593
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:20,320
it sounds crazy as a matter of fact some

594
00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,559
of it was humorous because we'd hatch

595
00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:24,559
all the eggs in an incubator

596
00:22:30,310 --> 00:22:28,080
and they would imprint on the children

597
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:30,320
and think that's our parents so when the

598
00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:32,240
school bus would pull up guess who would

599
00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:34,159
go to get on the bus all the ducks and

600
00:22:38,710 --> 00:22:36,159
geese would follow the kids to the

601
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:38,720
school bus try to get on the bus

602
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:41,840
and uh it was a joke in our neighborhood

603
00:22:46,710 --> 00:22:43,840
but when i released some of them on my

604
00:22:48,870 --> 00:22:46,720
mother's house near a lake she called me

605
00:22:51,590 --> 00:22:48,880
i thought it was fascinating you see

606
00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:51,600
animals have feelings and memories too

607
00:22:54,789 --> 00:22:53,440
she called me up said bernie what is it

608
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:54,799
huh

609
00:22:58,549 --> 00:22:56,240
our neighbors want to know something

610
00:23:00,070 --> 00:22:58,559
what every time a school bus pulls up

611
00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,080
all the ducks and geese come out of the

612
00:23:04,950 --> 00:23:02,640
lake and up to the road i laughed i said

613
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:04,960
they're looking for our children

614
00:23:10,230 --> 00:23:07,440
but you know it shows we're all

615
00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:10,240
involved in thinking feeling

616
00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:12,960
relationships i mean

617
00:23:16,390 --> 00:23:15,440
it's a mystical mystical

618
00:23:21,029 --> 00:23:16,400
world

619
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:21,039
and we need to be here to enjoy it too

620
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:23,039
and to accept what's here

621
00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:25,039
and be at peace but there are so many

622
00:23:29,430 --> 00:23:27,440
people that don't i know

623
00:23:31,350 --> 00:23:29,440
and i'm i keep trying to help them

624
00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:31,360
that's why as a surgeon

625
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:33,840
a patient said to me i need to know how

626
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:36,559
to live between office visits

627
00:23:40,950 --> 00:23:39,039
and medicine is just beginning

628
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:40,960
well this sentence tells it all say

629
00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:43,360
whether it's your work or mine

630
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:45,360
we're trained to treat the result not

631
00:23:48,830 --> 00:23:47,520
the cause

632
00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:48,840
so

633
00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,679
emotionally this is a medical an ad in

634
00:23:55,029 --> 00:23:53,520
the medical journal i'm depressed unable

635
00:23:57,270 --> 00:23:55,039
to cope i went to see my physician he

636
00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:57,280
prescribed an anti-depressant i feel

637
00:24:02,070 --> 00:23:59,600
better now i wrote to the drug company

638
00:24:03,510 --> 00:24:02,080
in the journal i said excuse me don't

639
00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:03,520
you think the doctor ought to say what's

640
00:24:08,950 --> 00:24:05,840
going on in your life before he hands

641
00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:08,960
the person a pill and they cancel the ad

642
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:12,240
but you see if you're trained to say

643
00:24:16,630 --> 00:24:14,000
what's your complaint okay here's your

644
00:24:18,549 --> 00:24:16,640
diagnosis go home and do this

645
00:24:20,070 --> 00:24:18,559
but i would say to people what are you

646
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:20,080
experiencing

647
00:24:23,590 --> 00:24:22,000
and what was fascinating is the words

648
00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,600
they used

649
00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:25,279
were about their life

650
00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:26,880
they and some of those were a book i

651
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:28,880
wrote right after book of miracles the

652
00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:31,360
art of healing that's 60 drawings in it

653
00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:33,760
and discusses dreams too but you say to

654
00:24:38,149 --> 00:24:35,120
a woman

655
00:24:40,149 --> 00:24:38,159
what are you experiencing oh failure

656
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,159
how does that fit your life well my body

657
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:42,240
failed me i'm asking you how does

658
00:24:45,909 --> 00:24:44,159
failure fit your life oh my parents

659
00:24:48,549 --> 00:24:45,919
committed suicide when i was a child

660
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:48,559
that must have been a failure as a child

661
00:24:53,590 --> 00:24:52,000
that helped heal her life that question

662
00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:53,600
your migraine headache that you're being

663
00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:55,520
admitted to the hospital for what does

664
00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:58,159
it feel like pressure

665
00:25:01,990 --> 00:25:00,159
what's the pressure in your life my

666
00:25:03,990 --> 00:25:02,000
marriage

667
00:25:05,350 --> 00:25:04,000
i talked to her for a while and she got

668
00:25:07,990 --> 00:25:05,360
up and went home instead of to the

669
00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:08,000
hospital free of pain to straighten out

670
00:25:12,149 --> 00:25:10,240
her marriage and i always say this to

671
00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:12,159
people i don't care what your problem is

672
00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:14,080
stop and say to yourself how would i

673
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:16,240
describe this to someone else

674
00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:17,760
and then if you come up with negative

675
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:19,919
words say what else in my life fits

676
00:25:22,870 --> 00:25:21,279
those words

677
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:22,880
and then eliminate them it'll help you

678
00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:23,760
heal

679
00:25:27,909 --> 00:25:25,600
now there are people

680
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:27,919
fortunately who say it's been a wake-up

681
00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:30,559
call a blessing a new beginning i call

682
00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:32,240
life a labor pain

683
00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:34,080
but when you know whether it's joseph

684
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:36,000
campbell or a lot of other philosophers

685
00:25:39,669 --> 00:25:37,279
when you say

686
00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:39,679
as campbell said on my journey through

687
00:25:42,310 --> 00:25:40,720
hell

688
00:25:44,149 --> 00:25:42,320
if i stop and say what am i to learn

689
00:25:45,269 --> 00:25:44,159
from this experience

690
00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:45,279
yeah

691
00:25:50,230 --> 00:25:47,840
you see and a friend of mine said it and

692
00:25:52,870 --> 00:25:50,240
i thought it was very neat she helped me

693
00:25:55,590 --> 00:25:52,880
because i'm complaining one day bernie

694
00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:55,600
you get upset when you're hungry no

695
00:25:59,909 --> 00:25:56,799
what do you do

696
00:26:02,789 --> 00:25:59,919
i get something to eat okay then ask

697
00:26:04,789 --> 00:26:02,799
yourself what nourishment you need

698
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,799
and i think that's like campbell is

699
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:06,720
saying in a different way that when you

700
00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,640
don't like how you feel and what's going

701
00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:11,039
on in your life say

702
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:13,600
what nourishment do i need

703
00:26:18,470 --> 00:26:15,840
so i can correct this problem in my life

704
00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:18,480
and change my life

705
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:20,480
and again it's like get letting your

706
00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:22,320
heart make up your mind not what do i

707
00:26:27,909 --> 00:26:26,159
think i should do no what feels right to

708
00:26:30,549 --> 00:26:27,919
quote a lawyer because i always say

709
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:30,559
being a lawyer is a serious illness

710
00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:33,520
because they're trained to think

711
00:26:37,510 --> 00:26:35,840
um and engineers have problems too

712
00:26:38,950 --> 00:26:37,520
because i asked one engineer to draw a

713
00:26:40,310 --> 00:26:38,960
picture and he wrote a page full of

714
00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:40,320
instructions

715
00:26:43,029 --> 00:26:41,200
um

716
00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:43,039
and everybody laughed when they saw what

717
00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:45,120
he handed me but that woke him up you

718
00:26:49,430 --> 00:26:46,799
know he was asked to draw a picture and

719
00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:49,440
he wrote instructions but the lawyer

720
00:26:53,990 --> 00:26:51,279
sent me this an article he had written

721
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,000
because in a tragedy occurred and he was

722
00:26:59,190 --> 00:26:56,480
busy thinking see about what i should do

723
00:27:01,669 --> 00:26:59,200
and this was a sense that he sent

724
00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:01,679
i came to a conclusion that was

725
00:27:07,350 --> 00:27:03,520
eminently reasonable

726
00:27:09,590 --> 00:27:07,360
totally logical and completely wrong

727
00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:09,600
because while learning to think

728
00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:12,880
i almost forgot how to feel

729
00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:15,039
yeah

730
00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:18,320
so pay attention to your feelings

731
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:21,279
and don't make your body

732
00:27:24,230 --> 00:27:23,120
wake you up with a life-threatening

733
00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:24,240
illness

734
00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:26,240
see monday morning we have more heart

735
00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:30,000
attack stroke suicides and illnesses

736
00:27:33,669 --> 00:27:31,679
and you know there's a there's a

737
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:33,679
survivor personality you mentioned my

738
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:35,520
website there's something there called

739
00:27:39,990 --> 00:27:38,000
immune competent personality i was happy

740
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:40,000
to see in usa today an article by a

741
00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:42,480
doctor see that they're waking up

742
00:27:47,110 --> 00:27:44,640
because what she said was

743
00:27:48,789 --> 00:27:47,120
if we're doing a study on a new drug we

744
00:27:49,669 --> 00:27:48,799
need to know the people we're giving it

745
00:27:51,510 --> 00:27:49,679
to

746
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:51,520
because she said that you know when you

747
00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:54,640
look at exercise nutrition i mean there

748
00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:56,880
are people who survive not because it's

749
00:28:00,870 --> 00:27:58,880
a wonderful drug

750
00:28:02,389 --> 00:28:00,880
but because of their lifestyle and their

751
00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:02,399
attitude

752
00:28:06,389 --> 00:28:04,880
and so you have let's say 100 depressed

753
00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:06,399
people who don't want to live and you

754
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:08,960
give them a pill to cure disease

755
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:11,120
and you get lousy results it ain't the

756
00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:13,600
pill it's the people

757
00:28:17,669 --> 00:28:16,000
and i found that too the mind is so

758
00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:17,679
powerful you talk about energy when

759
00:28:22,389 --> 00:28:20,080
people due to medical errors you don't

760
00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:22,399
receive the treatment you thought you're

761
00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:23,279
getting

762
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:24,799
and i'm talking about surgery

763
00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:27,600
chemotherapy radiation

764
00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:30,399
the doctors don't know

765
00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:32,880
that they're not treating their patients

766
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:34,559
okay these are true stories i don't make

767
00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:35,600
these up

768
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:36,399
and

769
00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:38,240
what happened is when the doctors did

770
00:28:42,070 --> 00:28:40,080
routine you know inspections and

771
00:28:44,950 --> 00:28:42,080
checking they realized oh we haven't

772
00:28:47,430 --> 00:28:44,960
been treating but the patients

773
00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:47,440
had beneficial effects literally

774
00:28:51,669 --> 00:28:49,440
shrinking cancer

775
00:28:53,350 --> 00:28:51,679
and side effects because they thought

776
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:53,360
they were getting treatment and that's

777
00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:55,760
why the doctors didn't know they weren't

778
00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:57,200
treating them because i was trying to

779
00:29:00,950 --> 00:28:59,039
help the doctors who were so upset and

780
00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,960
depressed over oh i haven't treated

781
00:29:04,389 --> 00:29:02,240
anybody

782
00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:04,399
i said it's not your fault they acted as

783
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:06,480
if they were being treated so you didn't

784
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:07,919
know

785
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:09,360
and you should have seen their eyes

786
00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:11,360
bulge

787
00:29:15,190 --> 00:29:13,440
because it never occurred to them that

788
00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:15,200
that's why they never stopped to think

789
00:29:19,590 --> 00:29:17,120
they weren't treating someone because

790
00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:19,600
they were all acting as if they were and

791
00:29:23,669 --> 00:29:21,200
it's hypnotic

792
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:23,679
about something but can it happen in the

793
00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:26,480
inverse where the doctor will say

794
00:29:32,549 --> 00:29:29,520
something and it will make your body not

795
00:29:34,149 --> 00:29:32,559
work like i have a client who we won't

796
00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:34,159
talk about his issue

797
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:37,279
but he was taking some herbal remedies

798
00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:41,039
that are very effective relatively safe

799
00:29:46,789 --> 00:29:44,720
and he was told by the physician

800
00:29:48,630 --> 00:29:46,799
those things don't work why are you

801
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:48,640
bothered taking them and

802
00:29:52,830 --> 00:29:51,200
it's kind of like really

803
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:52,840
yeah that's a stupid

804
00:29:56,310 --> 00:29:54,720
doctor um

805
00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:56,320
and i mean that you see because we're

806
00:30:01,510 --> 00:29:59,360
giving information not an education

807
00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:01,520
that doctor's treating the disease not

808
00:30:05,110 --> 00:30:03,360
the patient

809
00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:05,120
i have an article on my website called

810
00:30:11,029 --> 00:30:08,240
deceiving people into health

811
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:11,039
now why would you be upset if i lied to

812
00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:12,720
you and you got better

813
00:30:16,950 --> 00:30:14,480
i don't think so

814
00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:16,960
and i did a lot of children surgery and

815
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:19,200
i realized how powerful my words were

816
00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:20,720
and then one of our kids brought this

817
00:30:24,470 --> 00:30:22,000
home and i don't think this was an

818
00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:24,480
accident write the word words words

819
00:30:29,029 --> 00:30:27,039
words words on a piece of paper with no

820
00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:29,039
space between the words

821
00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:31,279
you know what they become

822
00:30:38,789 --> 00:30:35,600
a lot of words swords sword sword swords

823
00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:38,799
so we can kill a cure with words

824
00:30:44,549 --> 00:30:42,640
see i know people who died in a week why

825
00:30:46,710 --> 00:30:44,559
you have lung cancer

826
00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:46,720
yes you have cataracts but we're not

827
00:30:51,269 --> 00:30:49,120
paying for cataract surgery because you

828
00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:51,279
only have a year or two to live

829
00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:53,279
he went home and died in a week

830
00:30:58,870 --> 00:30:55,360
that was his health plan

831
00:31:00,310 --> 00:30:58,880
okay so yes i hear those things too that

832
00:31:02,549 --> 00:31:00,320
killed people

833
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:02,559
but giving people hope and i got

834
00:31:07,830 --> 00:31:05,039
criticized for giving false hope there's

835
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:07,840
no false hope if you have hope

836
00:31:11,590 --> 00:31:09,760
i mean what would you be upset about if

837
00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:11,600
it helps you live longer

838
00:31:14,470 --> 00:31:12,320
so

839
00:31:17,830 --> 00:31:14,480
one of the things that started me doing

840
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:17,840
that was as i say lying to children

841
00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:20,320
because i realized my words meant so

842
00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:22,880
much to them they took it literally

843
00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:24,320
you'll go to sleep and you go in the

844
00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:26,159
operating room you'd say this to a child

845
00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:27,919
in the emergency room

846
00:31:31,669 --> 00:31:30,320
with appendicitis going up to the

847
00:31:33,269 --> 00:31:31,679
operating room to go to sleep when you

848
00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:33,279
go in the room i'm thinking of

849
00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:36,000
anesthesia so you won't be frightened

850
00:31:40,389 --> 00:31:38,159
the kids used to fall asleep on the

851
00:31:42,470 --> 00:31:40,399
stretcher we wheeled them in on it got

852
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:42,480
to be a joke in the operating room

853
00:31:46,149 --> 00:31:44,000
because you'd wheel this child down the

854
00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:46,159
hall into the room they'd flip over and

855
00:31:49,509 --> 00:31:47,360
fall asleep

856
00:31:50,950 --> 00:31:49,519
and i laugh every time i think of it

857
00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:50,960
because a lot of the kids would yell at

858
00:31:55,029 --> 00:31:53,039
me i sleep on my stomach and you're

859
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:55,039
turning me over

860
00:31:58,230 --> 00:31:56,720
and i would say that's the only way i

861
00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:58,240
can get your appendix then they would

862
00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,480
say oh all right but they took it so

863
00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:02,559
literally they flipped over and went to

864
00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:05,519
sleep and the other was just showing the

865
00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,399
benefits of hypnosis and the authority

866
00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:10,799
figures words take an alcohol sponge

867
00:32:14,789 --> 00:32:12,960
because i tell this to doctors nurses

868
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:14,799
take an alcohol sponge and say to the

869
00:32:18,149 --> 00:32:16,640
patient this is going to numb your skin

870
00:32:19,509 --> 00:32:18,159
it's a new type of sponge you won't feel

871
00:32:21,509 --> 00:32:19,519
the needle

872
00:32:23,029 --> 00:32:21,519
i guarantee you at least one third of

873
00:32:24,310 --> 00:32:23,039
the people will say hey that's great

874
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:24,320
thank you

875
00:32:29,269 --> 00:32:25,840
and the others will say you know i felt

876
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:29,279
it oh bad sponge

877
00:32:34,149 --> 00:32:32,000
but again it's not the same needle you

878
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:34,159
know once they have that belief so i

879
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:36,320
would always say to parents i want you

880
00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:38,080
to lie to your children for their

881
00:32:43,190 --> 00:32:40,559
benefit take some vitamins

882
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:43,200
put a new label on the bottle

883
00:32:48,389 --> 00:32:45,840
hair growing pill anti-nausea pain

884
00:32:50,310 --> 00:32:48,399
whatever problem the kid was having and

885
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:50,320
they had a complaint here take this

886
00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:52,000
you'll feel better

887
00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:54,799
and believe me it works

888
00:33:00,389 --> 00:32:57,279
i know there's some family stories

889
00:33:03,269 --> 00:33:00,399
you know where family members have given

890
00:33:04,149 --> 00:33:03,279
their sick relative the wrong medication

891
00:33:06,870 --> 00:33:04,159
or

892
00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:06,880
a vitamin pill and the person got

893
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:08,399
perfectly well

894
00:33:11,269 --> 00:33:09,360
um

895
00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:11,279
you know there's well one of the most

896
00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:13,279
wonderful it's not in the miracle book

897
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:14,640
but is sort of

898
00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:16,240

the car so your husband is nice enough

901
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:23,039
to bring a big bag that you can throw up

902
00:33:29,669 --> 00:33:24,880
in

903
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:29,679

905
00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:33,200

911
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:48,960
and the image and what it does for the

912
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:50,000
person

913
00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:51,039

laughing

919
00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:00,000
i mean there's only one thing to be

920
00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:02,000
afraid of i learned that from a 90 plus

921
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,320
year old with cancer when everybody was

922
00:34:08,550 --> 00:34:06,480
in a panic i said to her one day

923
00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:08,560
what are you afraid of

924
00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:10,079
and she sat there for about three

925
00:34:14,069 --> 00:34:11,839
minutes four minutes

926
00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:14,079
and we're all waiting and then she said

927
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:16,879
oh i know what it is i said really what

928
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,720
is it driving on the parkway at night

929
00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:22,480
and the whole room bursts out laughing

930
00:34:24,629 --> 00:34:23,599
you say

931
00:34:26,470 --> 00:34:24,639
why

932
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:26,480
because we're all sitting there worried

933
00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:28,159
about what's going to happen

934
00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:30,000
and her only problem is driving on the

935
00:34:34,869 --> 00:34:33,119
parkway at night and how humor works

936
00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:34,879
we're sitting in a support group again

937
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:37,839
and i always bring our dogs and pets and

938
00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:39,919
you know makes everybody feel better so

939
00:34:43,750 --> 00:34:41,760
somebody got there late and didn't know

940
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:43,760
i had you know brought dogs it was his

941
00:34:47,109 --> 00:34:44,960
first meeting

942
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:47,119
and he's telling his tragic story and he

943
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:52,869
and he starts screaming at the group

944
00:34:56,790 --> 00:34:54,560
you don't care you're totally

945
00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:56,800
insensitive you're falling asleep while

946
00:34:59,589 --> 00:34:58,240
i'm telling you about what's happening

947
00:35:01,589 --> 00:34:59,599
in my life

948
00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:01,599
and everybody in the room you know i was

949
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:03,839
sort of motioning at him calm down and

950
00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:06,240
they point at my chair under the chair

951
00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:08,160
as one of my dogs who fell asleep and

952
00:35:12,230 --> 00:35:09,599
was snoring

953
00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:12,240
well that guy just burst out laughing

954
00:35:17,109 --> 00:35:15,200
that was the best therapy he's ever had

955
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,119
because it went from this horrible

956
00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,359
terrible life to

957
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:21,760
you know what a jerk i am and he's

958
00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:23,920
laughing and it it just totally

959
00:35:29,349 --> 00:35:26,320
transformed him and taught him you know

960
00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:29,359
the benefit of laughter so

961
00:35:32,790 --> 00:35:31,680
and and if people do that laugh for no

962
00:35:35,349 --> 00:35:32,800
reason

963
00:35:37,349 --> 00:35:35,359
study done to cancer patients the group

964
00:35:39,829 --> 00:35:37,359
who laughed for no reason several times

965
00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:39,839
a day lived longer than the control

966
00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:41,520
group which laughed if something funny

967
00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:44,480
happened but did not laugh you know for

968
00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:45,680
no reason

969
00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:48,079
and anybody wants to try it just do it

970
00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:49,920
you'll see how much better you feel if

971
00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:51,599
you laugh does that mean i'm going to

972
00:35:54,150 --> 00:35:52,880
live forever

973
00:35:57,430 --> 00:35:54,160
it's possible

974
00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:59,109
yeah that's expensive with plastic

975
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:00,960
surgery and all that but

976
00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:04,480
hey i have good skin yeah but my wife

977
00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:07,520
started to do one-liners you know like i

978
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:09,760
always say a female and a young man

979
00:36:14,150 --> 00:36:12,480
to get people to really see the benefits

980
00:36:17,349 --> 00:36:14,160
of laughter so i would talk for about an

981
00:36:19,270 --> 00:36:17,359
hour she'd come up and do humor

982
00:36:23,349 --> 00:36:19,280
and then i'd say to people how do you

983
00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:23,359
feel now say 10 15 minutes later

984
00:36:27,829 --> 00:36:25,440
after you've left and everybody knew

985
00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:27,839
that sitting up feeling younger better

986
00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:29,680
and literally she would get more thank

987
00:36:33,750 --> 00:36:32,480
yous at the end of the workshop than i

988
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:33,760
did

989
00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:36,240
because of how she helped people feel

990
00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:37,599
better

991
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:40,400
you know versus my informing them and

992
00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:42,880
giving them things to do and how to help

993
00:36:49,829 --> 00:36:46,000
yourself and but the laughter makes such

994
00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:52,069
he who laughs lasts

995
00:36:54,470 --> 00:36:53,359
i don't know if you heard that line he

996
00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:54,480
who laughs

997
00:37:00,870 --> 00:36:57,040
lasts that was like one of her closing

998
00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:03,510
well that's pretty good yeah it's living

999
00:37:08,630 --> 00:37:05,920
woody allen said it very well too

1000
00:37:10,870 --> 00:37:08,640
because one guy is very depressed

1001
00:37:13,670 --> 00:37:10,880
and after he rambles on about the

1002
00:37:15,349 --> 00:37:13,680
hopelessness of you know the universe

1003
00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:15,359
his friend says what are you doing

1004
00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:17,040
saturday night

1005
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:19,760
and he says i'm committing suicide

1006
00:37:22,950 --> 00:37:22,000
and his friend says how about friday

1007
00:37:25,829 --> 00:37:22,960
night

1008
00:37:28,310 --> 00:37:25,839
and i think that's what life is about

1009
00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:28,320
you know enjoy the day

1010
00:37:38,069 --> 00:37:35,670
but when you're worrying about tomorrow

1011
00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:38,079
you're creating a problem

1012
00:37:40,630 --> 00:37:39,599
and again you know the kids and the

1013
00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:40,640
animals

1014
00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:42,400
aren't thinking about tomorrow they're

1015
00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:45,200
trying to have a nice day

1016
00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:48,240
that's a sentence one of our kids

1017
00:37:53,990 --> 00:37:50,960
who i thought he had a tumor and it

1018
00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:54,000
looked malignant on x-ray and so after i

1019
00:37:57,829 --> 00:37:56,240
looked at the x-ray i thought

1020
00:37:59,990 --> 00:37:57,839
hey he'll lose a leg and he'll be dead

1021
00:38:02,230 --> 00:38:00,000
in the air

1022
00:38:04,390 --> 00:38:02,240
he came to me the next day

1023
00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:04,400
after i informed the family

1024
00:38:08,630 --> 00:38:06,079
and he said dad can i talk to you for a

1025
00:38:11,109 --> 00:38:08,640
minute yeah what is it keith

1026
00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:11,119
you're handling this poorly that's a

1027
00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:13,839
seven-year-old that's fun

1028
00:38:18,950 --> 00:38:16,079
he said we're trying to have a nice day

1029
00:38:22,870 --> 00:38:18,960
and you want us in our room depressed

1030
00:38:24,790 --> 00:38:22,880
we'd like to go out in the front yard

1031
00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:24,800
and he was my therapist for a week

1032
00:38:28,950 --> 00:38:26,880
because when he had the surgery it

1033
00:38:31,829 --> 00:38:28,960
turned out to be a very rare

1034
00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:31,839
benign tumor it's extremely painful but

1035
00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:34,000
um he taught me a hell of a lot that

1036
00:38:37,030 --> 00:38:34,800
week

1037
00:38:40,069 --> 00:38:37,040
so i always remember hearing those words

1038
00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:40,079
you're handling this poorly

1039
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:43,680
out of the mouth of babes as they say

1040
00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:45,760
the kids were always my teachers i did

1041
00:38:49,270 --> 00:38:48,240
as i said a lot of pediatric surgery

1042
00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:49,280
and

1043
00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:51,119
you know the kids who had love they

1044
00:38:54,390 --> 00:38:53,040
managed to get through

1045
00:38:57,670 --> 00:38:54,400
through it all

1046
00:38:59,430 --> 00:38:57,680
um the unloved and that's the biggest

1047
00:39:01,190 --> 00:38:59,440
health problem of our planet if you grow

1048
00:39:02,710 --> 00:39:01,200
up without love you become

1049
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:02,720
self-destructive

1050
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:04,720
well even the violence

1051
00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:05,520
is

1052
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:07,839
a response to the rejection

1053
00:39:11,430 --> 00:39:09,760
then you go out

1054
00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:11,440
to seek revenge and you kill a lot of

1055
00:39:15,109 --> 00:39:13,520
people then you kill yourself or let the

1056
00:39:16,870 --> 00:39:15,119
police kill you

1057
00:39:19,510 --> 00:39:16,880
but if you grow up with love you have a

1058
00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:19,520
reverence for life can i ask you a test

1059
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:22,400
question sure

1060
00:39:27,270 --> 00:39:24,720
tomorrow you're going to walk outside

1061
00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:27,280
and there's been a rain in the evening

1062
00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:29,280
and as you walk all right so i'm already

1063
00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:30,560
going to answer the question i won't go

1064
00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:32,640
outside because it'll be too cold no no

1065
00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:34,400
i mean it's not you know the

1066
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:36,960
temperature's all right it rains okay

1067
00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:38,720
you go out after the rainfall and as

1068
00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:40,320
you're walking down the street you see

1069
00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:43,440
quite a few worms on the pavement

1070
00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:45,280
because they've been washed away you

1071
00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:47,440
know off the ground by the water by the

1072
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:49,920
rain what do you do when you see the

1073
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,910
make a really ugly face at them

1074
00:40:02,470 --> 00:40:00,390
and then walk around them

1075
00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:02,480
what i've been doing for decades is

1076
00:40:05,829 --> 00:40:04,160
picking them up and putting them back on

1077
00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:05,839
the earth how did i know you were going

1078
00:40:11,589 --> 00:40:08,240
to say that yeah and i really thought i

1079
00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:11,599
was neurotic but i couldn't help it

1080
00:40:15,109 --> 00:40:13,599
and then i came across dear albert

1081
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:15,119
schweitzer

1082
00:40:20,310 --> 00:40:17,760
some one of his books and he said if you

1083
00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:20,320
come out after the rain and you see a

1084
00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:22,480
worm on the pavement pick it up and

1085
00:40:27,270 --> 00:40:24,800
place it back on the earth and if you

1086
00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:27,280
see an insect in a puddle give it a leaf

1087
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:29,359
to climb up on

1088
00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:31,040
and he always talked about a reverence

1089
00:40:34,310 --> 00:40:32,160
for life

1090
00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:34,320
and that's what i saw in our children i

1091
00:40:38,230 --> 00:40:35,839
wasn't thinking about it with all the

1092
00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:38,240
animals it just i had to rescue

1093
00:40:40,630 --> 00:40:39,440
everybody

1094
00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:40,640
but

1095
00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:42,960
they can't hurt anything they grew up

1096
00:40:46,150 --> 00:40:45,280
with all these creatures

1097
00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:46,160
and

1098
00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:48,240
one is in law enforcement

1099
00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:50,960
i mean he's capable of killing

1100
00:40:57,030 --> 00:40:54,640
but he spent a half an hour saving a

1101
00:40:59,349 --> 00:40:57,040
turtle's life

1102
00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:59,359
he said i saw this turtle on the ground

1103
00:41:03,349 --> 00:41:00,960
must have been a male because it didn't

1104
00:41:05,670 --> 00:41:03,359
ask for directions um he has a sense of

1105
00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:05,680
humor too so he picked the turtle up and

1106
00:41:10,069 --> 00:41:08,160
spent half an hour to find a pun to

1107
00:41:11,589 --> 00:41:10,079
release it

1108
00:41:13,030 --> 00:41:11,599
now i don't worry about him hurting

1109
00:41:14,710 --> 00:41:13,040
somebody

1110
00:41:16,630 --> 00:41:14,720
you know i mean yes he might kill

1111
00:41:19,670 --> 00:41:16,640
somebody to save a life

1112
00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:19,680
but i don't have to worry about him

1113
00:41:24,790 --> 00:41:22,960
being a law enforcement person for the

1114
00:41:26,390 --> 00:41:24,800
wrong reasons

1115
00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:26,400
you know for not knowing how to deal

1116
00:41:31,349 --> 00:41:29,599
with his aggression see another i mean i

1117
00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:31,359
like i never stop talking because it's

1118
00:41:36,790 --> 00:41:35,040
all part of my learning that

1119
00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:36,800
carl mending of the psychiatrist also

1120
00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:39,520
became a friend and therapist for me

1121
00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:41,680
years ago and he said to me bernie what

1122
00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:43,920
if you became a surgeon as a reaction

1123
00:41:49,349 --> 00:41:47,200
formation to your destructive tendencies

1124
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:49,359
and i love saying that to people why'd

1125
00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:51,040
you become a surgeon well i like cutting

1126
00:41:57,990 --> 00:41:52,560
people up but i don't want to go to jail

1127
00:42:02,550 --> 00:41:59,829
you know he said bernie aggression is

1128
00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:02,560
normal but it's how you use it so i

1129
00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:04,079
always think you know football players

1130
00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:06,480
are knocking each other's heads off and

1131
00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:08,319
recently you read about how they're

1132
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:10,560
treating their family but if you get the

1133
00:42:15,109 --> 00:42:13,040
aggression out on the field you don't

1134
00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:15,119
take it out on your family

1135
00:42:20,069 --> 00:42:18,000
say or your neighbors or the people even

1136
00:42:21,589 --> 00:42:20,079
who rejected you because you've gotten

1137
00:42:23,589 --> 00:42:21,599
it out

1138
00:42:26,069 --> 00:42:23,599
and i took care of some football teams

1139
00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:26,079
as a doctor and i was amazed at how

1140
00:42:31,109 --> 00:42:28,240
quiet these guys were

1141
00:42:34,069 --> 00:42:31,119
you know off the field um you know six

1142
00:42:35,990 --> 00:42:34,079
foot three 250 pounds yeah i don't want

1143
00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:36,000
them to ever be angry at me

1144
00:42:40,230 --> 00:42:38,400
but um

1145
00:42:42,950 --> 00:42:40,240
it impressed me that when they were out

1146
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:42,960
on the field knocking heads when they

1147
00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:45,839
came off yeah they were calm inside

1148
00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:50,000
because the aggression had been released

1149
00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:53,440
so we all need to know ourselves better

1150
00:42:58,390 --> 00:42:56,480
and what's within us

1151
00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:58,400
well and i always find it interesting

1152
00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:01,520
that when asked most people know what

1153
00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:04,240
they need to do or they know the source

1154
00:43:08,390 --> 00:43:06,880
of their disquiet

1155
00:43:10,309 --> 00:43:08,400
but when you say

1156
00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:10,319
okay so why don't you do that why don't

1157
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:12,079
you quit your job or end this

1158
00:43:16,790 --> 00:43:14,560
relationship or talk to your spouse or

1159
00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:16,800
whatever that thing is

1160
00:43:21,030 --> 00:43:18,880
they are so reticent

1161
00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:21,040
i think it has a lot to do with

1162
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:23,280
fail your feelings because i saw this

1163
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:24,480
years ago

1164
00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:26,640
when i send 100 letters out to people

1165
00:43:33,670 --> 00:43:29,760
with cancer saying let me help you live

1166
00:43:36,150 --> 00:43:33,680
a longer better life come to a meeting

1167
00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:37,990
i thought several hundred people would

1168
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:39,839
show up because the secretary forgot to

1169
00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:41,760
say it's just for our patients you can't

1170
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:44,240
bring friends and relatives

1171
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:46,640
less than a dozen women showed up

1172
00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:48,720
i couldn't believe it

1173
00:43:52,470 --> 00:43:49,680
that

1174
00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:52,480
everybody didn't want to live a longer

1175
00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:53,760
better life

1176
00:43:57,349 --> 00:43:55,200
but i realized they were afraid of

1177
00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:57,359
failing that's how they grew up i mean

1178
00:44:00,950 --> 00:43:59,119
this is a quote my mother's words were

1179
00:44:03,109 --> 00:44:00,960
eating away at me and maybe gave me

1180
00:44:04,790 --> 00:44:03,119
cancer she said i was a failure i

1181
00:44:07,510 --> 00:44:04,800
embarrassed her she only dressed me in

1182
00:44:11,430 --> 00:44:07,520
dark clothes so nobody would notice me

1183
00:44:13,109 --> 00:44:11,440
now what saved that woman's life cancer

1184
00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:13,119
that's when she said

1185
00:44:18,150 --> 00:44:15,520
gave me permission to be my authentic

1186
00:44:19,589 --> 00:44:18,160
self and to buy a red dress and red high

1187
00:44:21,430 --> 00:44:19,599
heels juice

1188
00:44:24,230 --> 00:44:21,440
yeah it's sad that you need to get a

1189
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:24,240
life-threatening illness to start living

1190
00:44:28,710 --> 00:44:26,640
um and i say that to people you know

1191
00:44:31,030 --> 00:44:28,720
that abandon the past

1192
00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:31,040
put your pictures up around your

1193
00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:32,720
house where you work

1194
00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:35,520
and love that kid that you are

1195
00:44:38,470 --> 00:44:37,040
i mean i know people don't even have

1196
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:38,480
pictures of themselves as children

1197
00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:40,480
because of how they're paired i mean

1198
00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:45,349
you know one woman the reason i i sigh

1199
00:44:48,069 --> 00:44:47,200
when i think of all these people

1200
00:44:49,990 --> 00:44:48,079
um

1201
00:44:51,990 --> 00:44:50,000
you know when you i mentioned the woman

1202
00:44:54,069 --> 00:44:52,000
who said her cancer is a failure her

1203
00:44:55,349 --> 00:44:54,079
parents committed suicide she's not the

1204
00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:55,359
only one i know

1205
00:45:00,630 --> 00:44:57,760
whose parents committed suicide and told

1206
00:45:01,430 --> 00:45:00,640
their children to kill themselves

1207
00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:01,440
so

1208
00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:02,800
how do you grow up and take care of

1209
00:45:07,430 --> 00:45:06,240
yourself when that's your life story

1210
00:45:10,950 --> 00:45:07,440
you know

1211
00:45:12,790 --> 00:45:10,960
versus having a grandmother like i had

1212
00:45:14,950 --> 00:45:12,800
who loved me

1213
00:45:17,670 --> 00:45:14,960
no matter what and i don't have pictures

1214
00:45:19,589 --> 00:45:17,680
of myself as an infant because

1215
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:19,599
my parents didn't want a record of what

1216
00:45:23,829 --> 00:45:21,280
i looked like i mean there were pictures

1217
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:23,839
of a covered carriage you see again as a

1218
00:45:27,270 --> 00:45:25,920
kid i thought i must have been sleeping

1219
00:45:29,589 --> 00:45:27,280
because they never told me this story

1220
00:45:31,990 --> 00:45:29,599
until i grew up

1221
00:45:35,190 --> 00:45:32,000
but again my memories were still of

1222
00:45:36,390 --> 00:45:35,200
being loved no matter what i looked like

1223
00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:36,400
my parents didn't want to upset

1224
00:45:41,589 --> 00:45:38,240
neighbors and relatives so they covered

1225
00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:41,599
me and hidden me but they still loved me

1226
00:45:45,510 --> 00:45:43,280
and what a difference that makes in

1227
00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:45,520
terms of caring for yourself you go into

1228
00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:48,079
an assisted living facility

1229
00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:50,400
and say to the residents

1230
00:45:53,109 --> 00:45:51,680
how many of you were loved by your

1231
00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:53,119
parents they look at you like you're

1232
00:45:57,990 --> 00:45:54,720
nuts what do you mean of course we were

1233
00:45:59,910 --> 00:45:58,000
loved so 90 of the hands go up and i say

1234
00:46:01,510 --> 00:45:59,920
that's why you're alive today because

1235
00:46:04,710 --> 00:46:01,520
they loved you and you've taken care of

1236
00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:04,720
yourself go into a high school

1237
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:07,359
thing 70 percent of high school students

1238
00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:11,040
have contemplated suicide in one study

1239
00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:13,200
ask high school students write a suicide

1240
00:46:17,109 --> 00:46:15,680
note why you should commit suicide and

1241
00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:17,119
write a love note while you're worth

1242
00:46:20,230 --> 00:46:18,960
loving for homework i tell them you

1243
00:46:21,589 --> 00:46:20,240
don't have to sign it i don't need a

1244
00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:21,599
name on the paper

1245
00:46:25,910 --> 00:46:23,839
the suicide pile is three to five times

1246
00:46:27,829 --> 00:46:25,920
higher than the load pile and most time

1247
00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:27,839
the load pile was never more than one

1248
00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:30,240
page and the suicide is

1249
00:46:33,430 --> 00:46:31,680
several pages

1250
00:46:35,109 --> 00:46:33,440
and and i'm telling you you go into any

1251
00:46:37,109 --> 00:46:35,119
high school and ask that question which

1252
00:46:39,910 --> 00:46:37,119
pile will be higher you'll get the right

1253
00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:39,920
answer do you think that let me just

1254
00:46:43,349 --> 00:46:42,079
add this that a lot of teachers thought

1255
00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:43,359
the suicide rate will go up you're

1256
00:46:47,109 --> 00:46:46,000
making the kids no the suicide rate went

1257
00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:47,119
down

1258
00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:49,839
because the kids then began to get into

1259
00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:51,119
therapy

1260
00:46:54,870 --> 00:46:53,359
you see once they knew i'm not the only

1261
00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:54,880
one who has parents

1262
00:46:59,190 --> 00:46:57,359
who abuse you i don't have to lie about

1263
00:47:01,109 --> 00:46:59,200
it anymore i don't have to say i fell

1264
00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:01,119
off my bike when my father has punched

1265
00:47:05,270 --> 00:47:02,720
me in the eye

1266
00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:05,280
and so then the therapy starts and they

1267
00:47:09,670 --> 00:47:07,839
help each other

1268
00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:09,680
you know do you think do you think it's

1269
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:11,680
endemic with

1270
00:47:15,349 --> 00:47:13,760
contemporary culture or do you think

1271
00:47:17,589 --> 00:47:15,359
that this has just been something that

1272
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:17,599
has been ongoing in society and it's

1273
00:47:22,309 --> 00:47:20,640
just now coming to the surface

1274
00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:22,319
i think it's always been a part of

1275
00:47:26,550 --> 00:47:25,520
society but i think emotionally

1276
00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:26,560
it's

1277
00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:28,160
worse now

1278
00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:29,520
that we're becoming more and more

1279
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:31,359
detached

1280
00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:34,319
see even back in the 1800s i mean it

1281
00:47:37,109 --> 00:47:35,599
showed up in

1282
00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:37,119
orphanages

1283
00:47:40,550 --> 00:47:38,640
where kids

1284
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:40,560
would die of infections

1285
00:47:44,069 --> 00:47:42,480
and the assumption was we don't want to

1286
00:47:46,710 --> 00:47:44,079
pass the infection around so don't touch

1287
00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:46,720
the kids that's why they were dying

1288
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:48,960
nobody was loving them

1289
00:47:54,230 --> 00:47:51,680
so when you don't when you do massage a

1290
00:47:56,309 --> 00:47:54,240
child its brain develops faster it gains

1291
00:47:57,990 --> 00:47:56,319
weight faster than a child not touched

1292
00:47:58,790 --> 00:47:58,000
fed the same amount

1293
00:48:01,670 --> 00:47:58,800
so

1294
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:01,680
again mechanically these things have

1295
00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:03,760
gone on for hundreds of years well let

1296
00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:06,720
me give you a quote from maimonides 900

1297
00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:08,400
years ago

1298
00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:10,640
and then from cat fancy magazine a

1299
00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:12,240
couple of years ago

1300
00:48:17,990 --> 00:48:15,040
maimonides said if people took as good

1301
00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:18,000
care of their animals oh excuse me of

1302
00:48:24,309 --> 00:48:21,200
themselves as they do their animals they

1303
00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:24,319
would suffer fewer illnesses

1304
00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:26,400
and a few years ago in cat fancy

1305
00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:27,839
magazine

1306
00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:29,520
because of what was happening to her

1307
00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:30,720
cats

1308
00:48:36,630 --> 00:48:33,760
doug and i now smoke in the yard we're

1309
00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:36,640
not killing our cats anymore we hope

1310
00:48:41,510 --> 00:48:39,200
you're not killing yours because we love

1311
00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:41,520
our cats more than the convenience of

1312
00:48:44,790 --> 00:48:43,200
smoking indoors

1313
00:48:47,030 --> 00:48:44,800
now i wrote a letter to cat fancy

1314
00:48:48,790 --> 00:48:47,040
magazine which they didn't publish

1315
00:48:50,230 --> 00:48:48,800
because basically what they're saying is

1316
00:48:52,470 --> 00:48:50,240
you want to kill yourself fine but be

1317
00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:52,480
good to your cats

1318
00:48:55,270 --> 00:48:53,280
i mean

1319
00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:55,280
you know how can a woman say i love my

1320
00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:56,559
cats

1321
00:49:00,390 --> 00:48:59,440
while i'm killing myself

1322
00:49:03,910 --> 00:49:00,400
so

1323
00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:03,920
this is not new but i think as we become

1324
00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:06,400
more involved in technology

1325
00:49:11,349 --> 00:49:08,720
you know when you see families all

1326
00:49:13,589 --> 00:49:11,359
sitting looking at

1327
00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:13,599
things you know little gadgets they're

1328
00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:15,280
holding in their hand

1329
00:49:19,589 --> 00:49:17,040
instead of talking to each other at the

1330
00:49:21,829 --> 00:49:19,599
dinner table and anywhere else even when

1331
00:49:24,710 --> 00:49:21,839
they're out walking people don't look in

1332
00:49:27,109 --> 00:49:24,720
the eye i like saying hello to people

1333
00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:27,119
you know but they're busy with earphones

1334
00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:28,640
they're looking they're talking on the

1335
00:49:32,870 --> 00:49:31,760
phone and the detachment

1336
00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:32,880
is

1337
00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,040
sickening and dangerous

1338
00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,880
as i say that's why monday morning we

1339
00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:38,400
have more illnesses you know it's what's

1340
00:49:43,109 --> 00:49:40,480
going on in your life and when your body

1341
00:49:44,390 --> 00:49:43,119
knows you don't enjoy your life it tries

1342
00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:44,400
to get you out of here

1343
00:49:47,750 --> 00:49:46,319
you don't like living fine you know

1344
00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,760
we'll leave

1345
00:49:51,510 --> 00:49:49,760
you'll be perfect again

1346
00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:51,520
once you leave your body yeah it feels

1347
00:50:00,549 --> 00:49:59,190
well that would be kind of different um

1348
00:50:02,230 --> 00:50:00,559
yeah

1349
00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:02,240
i mean i really feel that life is a

1350
00:50:07,109 --> 00:50:03,920
school

1351
00:50:09,190 --> 00:50:07,119
uh i describe it in two ways i mean life

1352
00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:09,200
is a labor pain you know they're

1353
00:50:13,270 --> 00:50:11,440
of self-birthing

1354
00:50:14,230 --> 00:50:13,280
so we use the pain

1355
00:50:16,150 --> 00:50:14,240
to

1356
00:50:17,030 --> 00:50:16,160
work out who we are

1357
00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:17,040
and

1358
00:50:21,190 --> 00:50:18,800
that it's also a school that we're here

1359
00:50:23,829 --> 00:50:21,200
to move up in grades to learn

1360
00:50:24,829 --> 00:50:23,839
so we improve the future by raising our

1361
00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:24,839
level of

1362
00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:26,720
consciousness and

1363
00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:28,079
you know if we were all graduate

1364
00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,079
students this would be a nice world i

1365
00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:31,920
mean think of what just went on

1366
00:50:36,630 --> 00:50:34,480
you know in paris i mean how can you do

1367
00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:36,640
this to people

1368
00:50:39,589 --> 00:50:38,079
you know i just talked about reverence

1369
00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:39,599
for life i'm picking up worms and

1370
00:50:42,630 --> 00:50:41,280
they're walking in and killing human

1371
00:50:45,589 --> 00:50:42,640
beings

1372
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:45,599
i mean what the hell is going on here

1373
00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:48,640
but it's how they were brought up

1374
00:50:51,910 --> 00:50:50,400
you know they're and they think that

1375
00:50:55,030 --> 00:50:51,920
it's okay

1376
00:50:57,910 --> 00:50:55,040
yeah well their parents their god

1377
00:51:01,030 --> 00:50:57,920
you know their it's revenge this is from

1378
00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:01,040
um east of eden john steinbeck

1379
00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:04,319
we all experience rejection

1380
00:51:08,549 --> 00:51:06,079
now let me say this before i give them

1381
00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:08,559
the full quote the opposite of love is

1382
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:11,680
indifference rejection and abuse it's

1383
00:51:16,390 --> 00:51:13,280
not hate and fear

1384
00:51:18,549 --> 00:51:16,400
and he said we all experience rejection

1385
00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:18,559
with rejection comes a desire for

1386
00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:23,040
revenge with revenge guilt and there is

1387
00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:26,240
the story of mankind

1388
00:51:30,470 --> 00:51:28,400
when i came across that sentence it was

1389
00:51:34,230 --> 00:51:30,480
wow thank you

1390
00:51:35,109 --> 00:51:34,240
yeah now i understand all the headlines

1391
00:51:36,870 --> 00:51:35,119
yeah

1392
00:51:38,710 --> 00:51:36,880
i mean those people didn't grow up with

1393
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:38,720
a house full of animals

1394
00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:40,240
they

1395
00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:44,960
house rather than have their father swat

1396
00:51:49,910 --> 00:51:47,599
you know a fly or a bee who had gotten

1397
00:51:51,349 --> 00:51:49,920
into the house and our kids did they

1398
00:51:53,109 --> 00:51:51,359
would yell at me if i was going to kill

1399
00:51:54,390 --> 00:51:53,119
an insect

1400
00:51:56,150 --> 00:51:54,400
and

1401
00:51:57,589 --> 00:51:56,160
you know i thought it was a little crazy

1402
00:51:59,109 --> 00:51:57,599
a little extreme

1403
00:52:01,430 --> 00:51:59,119
but

1404
00:52:04,950 --> 00:52:01,440
yeah you're safe with them

1405
00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:04,960
and think of again what went on here

1406
00:52:09,270 --> 00:52:08,079
they i tell people first seek out life

1407
00:52:11,349 --> 00:52:09,280
coaches

1408
00:52:12,870 --> 00:52:11,359
people who will be

1409
00:52:15,430 --> 00:52:12,880
critical of you

1410
00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:15,440
in a coaching way in other words to

1411
00:52:19,270 --> 00:52:16,640
improve

1412
00:52:22,549 --> 00:52:19,280
who you are and how you perform

1413
00:52:24,549 --> 00:52:22,559
and then you become a love warrior

1414
00:52:26,390 --> 00:52:24,559
and what that came from was something i

1415
00:52:28,390 --> 00:52:26,400
was reading where it said you could be a

1416
00:52:30,309 --> 00:52:28,400
warrior you know like these killing

1417
00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:30,319
people or you can be alone

1418
00:52:36,150 --> 00:52:32,640
and i said yeah you could be a love

1419
00:52:37,990 --> 00:52:36,160
warrior see love is my weapon

1420
00:52:40,710 --> 00:52:38,000
what do i mean by that

1421
00:52:43,829 --> 00:52:40,720
oh i just am going ow

1422
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:43,839
you walk in to me with a gun and what am

1423
00:52:46,630 --> 00:52:45,760
i likely to say to you before you kill

1424
00:52:48,390 --> 00:52:46,640
me

1425
00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:48,400
i love you

1426
00:52:54,630 --> 00:52:52,079
that's going to make it harder to pull

1427
00:52:56,470 --> 00:52:54,640
the trigger then hey you son of a [\h__\h]

1428
00:52:57,829 --> 00:52:56,480

00:53:00,390 --> 00:52:57,839

1430
00:53:02,630 --> 00:53:00,400
hell you're doing

1431

yeah i love you

1432
00:53:06,470 --> 00:53:04,880
and it really upsets people

1433
00:53:10,549 --> 00:53:06,480
when they're angry at you because i love

1434
00:53:13,030 --> 00:53:10,559
doing it well again a true story

1435
00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:13,040
we're up in cape cod very heavy traffic

1436
00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,640
summertime

1437
00:53:18,790 --> 00:53:16,400
is a teenager in the car behind me

1438
00:53:21,430 --> 00:53:18,800
screaming obscenities

1439
00:53:23,190 --> 00:53:21,440
like it's my fault

1440
00:53:25,109 --> 00:53:23,200
we get to a corner there's a cop i said

1441
00:53:26,710 --> 00:53:25,119
to the cop who can hear him screaming

1442
00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:26,720
all this i said will you tell him to be

1443
00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:27,680
quiet

1444
00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:30,160
the cop said that's not my job i

1445
00:53:34,230 --> 00:53:32,160
couldn't believe he would say that

1446
00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:34,240
but since he did i got out of the car

1447
00:53:36,870 --> 00:53:36,000
with our kids saying daddy can have a

1448
00:53:39,430 --> 00:53:36,880
gun

1449
00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:39,440
because they know i'm crazy

1450
00:53:45,670 --> 00:53:42,480
and i walked over to the kid and i said

1451
00:53:47,190 --> 00:53:45,680
to him i want you to know something

1452
00:53:51,349 --> 00:53:47,200
i love you

1453
00:53:53,109 --> 00:53:51,359
i'm sorry that your parents do not

1454
00:53:56,230 --> 00:53:53,119
now as i walked away i thought maybe

1455
00:53:57,990 --> 00:53:56,240
that wasn't nice to add the second part

1456
00:54:00,069 --> 00:53:58,000
but i now think it was the best thing

1457
00:54:01,990 --> 00:54:00,079
ever happened to him he made a u-turn

1458
00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:02,000
and drove away

1459
00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:04,720
i know i told him the truth

1460
00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:07,760
my hope is because i said it he will go

1461
00:54:12,230 --> 00:54:10,400
home and change his life

1462
00:54:14,309 --> 00:54:12,240
and realize he is worth

1463
00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:14,319
being loved no matter what his parents

1464
00:54:20,230 --> 00:54:16,720
treat him like it's they're the problem

1465
00:54:25,589 --> 00:54:22,309
bernie we have

1466
00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:25,599
um like one well actually two minutes

1467
00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,160
before we need to wrap up

1468
00:54:31,829 --> 00:54:30,480
well i know what to say

1469
00:54:34,309 --> 00:54:31,839
well okay

1470
00:54:35,589 --> 00:54:34,319
yeah because i talk so much everybody

1471
00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:35,599
interrupts me and says bernie we're

1472
00:54:39,270 --> 00:54:37,520
running out of time

1473
00:54:41,910 --> 00:54:39,280
and that's what i want everybody to

1474
00:54:43,430 --> 00:54:41,920
remember we're all going to run out of

1475
00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:43,440
time someday

1476
00:54:48,790 --> 00:54:47,119
so enjoy your lifetime

1477
00:54:51,829 --> 00:54:48,800
and the best way

1478
00:54:54,069 --> 00:54:51,839
is giving love when you give you also

1479
00:54:55,270 --> 00:54:54,079
receive it benefits the giver and the

1480
00:54:57,670 --> 00:54:55,280
receiver

1481
00:55:01,030 --> 00:54:57,680

well i'm just wonderful thank you very

1708
01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:28,799
much it's lovely to be here you know

1709
01:05:32,470 --> 01:05:30,640
it's been so long since you've been on

1710
01:05:34,630 --> 01:05:32,480
the show and i'm

1711
01:05:37,349 --> 01:05:34,640
just very thrilled to have you on and

1712
01:05:39,990 --> 01:05:37,359
this new book

1713
01:05:41,029 --> 01:05:40,000
i loved it loved it

1714
01:05:44,230 --> 01:05:41,039
so

1715
01:05:45,910 --> 01:05:44,240
we're just gonna jump right in

1716
01:05:49,430 --> 01:05:45,920
um

1717
01:05:51,829 --> 01:05:49,440
because one of the things that i love is

1718
01:05:53,990 --> 01:05:51,839
to have people step outside the box to

1719
01:05:55,829 --> 01:05:54,000
look at things from a new perspective

1720
01:05:58,230 --> 01:05:55,839
and that's exactly

1721
01:06:00,789 --> 01:05:58,240
to me what this book does

1722
01:06:03,510 --> 01:06:00,799
but in reading it you seemed a little

1723
01:06:05,829 --> 01:06:03,520
down on what we're doing here on earth

1724
01:06:08,069 --> 01:06:05,839
or at least our perception

1725
01:06:10,710 --> 01:06:08,079
that the systems that we have put into

1726
01:06:12,630 --> 01:06:10,720
place are leading to a higher quality of

1727
01:06:15,270 --> 01:06:12,640
life for humanity

1728
01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:15,280
so why so down on kind of what we're

1729
01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:20,549
because what we're doing here is not

1730
01:06:24,549 --> 01:06:22,720
working in any area of our lives the

1731
01:06:27,430 --> 01:06:24,559
book is called by the way the title of

1732
01:06:30,309 --> 01:06:27,440
the book is god's message to the world

1733
01:06:31,109 --> 01:06:30,319
you've got me all wrong

1734
01:06:34,230 --> 01:06:31,119
and

1735
01:06:36,230 --> 01:06:34,240
the book makes the point at the outset

1736
01:06:37,990 --> 01:06:36,240
that the problem in the world today is

1737
01:06:40,069 --> 01:06:38,000
that none of the systems we have put

1738
01:06:41,990 --> 01:06:40,079
into place to create a better life for

1739
01:06:44,309 --> 01:06:42,000
all of us on this planet

1740
01:06:46,390 --> 01:06:44,319
have in fact produced that

1741
01:06:48,470 --> 01:06:46,400
in fact it's worse than that not only

1742
01:06:50,470 --> 01:06:48,480
have they not produced the outcome for

1743
01:06:52,549 --> 01:06:50,480
which they were designed

1744
01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:52,559
they've actually produced exactly the

1745
01:06:56,470 --> 01:06:54,000
opposite

1746
01:06:57,829 --> 01:06:56,480
let me give you some examples if i might

1747
01:06:59,990 --> 01:06:57,839
sure go ahead

1748
01:07:01,829 --> 01:07:00,000
our political system which we created to

1749
01:07:04,150 --> 01:07:01,839
produce safety and security for the

1750
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:04,160
world's people have produced nothing but

1751
01:07:10,150 --> 01:07:07,200
disagreement and disarray

1752
01:07:13,109 --> 01:07:10,160
our economic systems created to produce

1753
01:07:15,670 --> 01:07:13,119
opportunity and sufficiency for all

1754
01:07:18,789 --> 01:07:15,680
have produced increasing poverty and

1755
01:07:21,109 --> 01:07:18,799
massive economic inequality

1756
01:07:22,390 --> 01:07:21,119
with 85 of the world's richest people

1757
01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:22,400
holding more than

1758
01:07:26,069 --> 01:07:24,960
more wealth than 3.5 billion let me

1759
01:07:29,270 --> 01:07:26,079
repeat that because you might have

1760
01:07:32,789 --> 01:07:29,280
missed it 85 people

1761
01:07:35,109 --> 01:07:32,799
hold more wealth than 3.5 billion put

1762
01:07:37,430 --> 01:07:35,119
together

1763
01:07:40,470 --> 01:07:37,440
our ecological systems created to help

1764
01:07:42,710 --> 01:07:40,480
us produce a sustainable life lifestyle

1765
01:07:44,069 --> 01:07:42,720
have been abused so much

1766
01:07:47,349 --> 01:07:44,079
that they're now generating

1767
01:07:48,950 --> 01:07:47,359
environmental disasters right and left

1768
01:07:51,589 --> 01:07:48,960
our educational systems which were

1769
01:07:53,349 --> 01:07:51,599
created to lift higher and higher the

1770
01:07:54,630 --> 01:07:53,359
knowledge base of the planet's

1771
01:07:57,109 --> 01:07:54,640
population

1772
01:07:59,670 --> 01:07:57,119
have actually produced a drop

1773
01:08:02,710 --> 01:07:59,680
in global awareness and sensitivity that

1774
01:08:05,029 --> 01:08:02,720
each year sinks our intellectual common

1775
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:05,039
denominator lower and lower we can't

1776
01:08:09,190 --> 01:08:06,960
even remember our own telephone numbers

1777
01:08:11,109 --> 01:08:09,200
anymore

1778
01:08:13,029 --> 01:08:11,119
our health care systems

1779
01:08:16,229 --> 01:08:13,039
which were created in hopes of producing

1780
01:08:18,390 --> 01:08:16,239
a good and long life for an increasingly

1781
01:08:20,390 --> 01:08:18,400
higher percentage of people are doing

1782
01:08:22,229 --> 01:08:20,400
little to eliminate any quality of

1783
01:08:25,990 --> 01:08:22,239
access to modern medicines and health

1784
01:08:28,709 --> 01:08:26,000
care services thus actually providing

1785
01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:28,719
top level medical services to a lower

1786
01:08:32,390 --> 01:08:30,880
and lower percentage of people every

1787
01:08:34,309 --> 01:08:32,400
year

1788
01:08:36,630 --> 01:08:34,319
our social systems

1789
01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:36,640
which we created to produce the joy of

1790
01:08:41,189 --> 01:08:38,400
community and harmony

1791
01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:41,199
among a divergent population more and

1792
01:08:44,709 --> 01:08:42,159
more

1793
01:08:47,030 --> 01:08:44,719
generate and encourage discordance

1794
01:08:49,349 --> 01:08:47,040
disparity prejudice and

1795
01:08:51,669 --> 01:08:49,359
despair to say nothing of rampant

1796
01:08:53,510 --> 01:08:51,679
injustice and we only need to mention

1797
01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:53,520
two words

1798
01:08:58,070 --> 01:08:55,440
to illustrate that

1799
01:09:01,910 --> 01:08:58,080
eric garner

1800
01:09:04,149 --> 01:09:01,920
and most sadly most dysfunctional of all

1801
01:09:06,149 --> 01:09:04,159
our spiritual systems

1802
01:09:07,349 --> 01:09:06,159
created to produce a greater closeness

1803
01:09:09,990 --> 01:09:07,359
to god

1804
01:09:12,070 --> 01:09:10,000
and to each other have actually produced

1805
01:09:15,669 --> 01:09:12,080
bitter righteousness shocking

1806
01:09:18,789 --> 01:09:15,679
intolerance widespread anger deep seated

1807
01:09:21,349 --> 01:09:18,799
hatred and self-justified

1808
01:09:23,749 --> 01:09:21,359
violence what gives here what's going on

1809
01:09:26,309 --> 01:09:23,759
with the human race you ask me why i'm

1810
01:09:28,309 --> 01:09:26,319
down on what's going on on the planet

1811
01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:28,319
there's wonderful stuff happening too on

1812
01:09:33,269 --> 01:09:30,719
the earth but none of the systems we

1813
01:09:36,709 --> 01:09:33,279
have put into place to create a better

1814
01:09:39,510 --> 01:09:36,719
life has done anything near that they've

1815
01:09:42,950 --> 01:09:39,520
done in fact exactly the opposite

1816
01:09:43,829 --> 01:09:42,960
nothing is working except for maybe

1817
01:09:45,669 --> 01:09:43,839
maybe

1818
01:09:48,070 --> 01:09:45,679
five percent of the world's people i'm

1819
01:09:50,550 --> 01:09:48,080
sure you must be aware that roughly five

1820
01:09:52,829 --> 01:09:50,560
percent of the world's people now hold

1821
01:09:54,390 --> 01:09:52,839
or control

1822
01:09:57,189 --> 01:09:54,400
95

1823
01:09:59,110 --> 01:09:57,199
of the world's wealth and resources

1824
01:10:00,390 --> 01:09:59,120
that means unless we're okay because you

1825
01:10:02,070 --> 01:10:00,400
know of course those five percent are

1826
01:10:04,470 --> 01:10:02,080
fine with that they say neil what's the

1827
01:10:06,709 --> 01:10:04,480
problem what's the problem

1828
01:10:07,910 --> 01:10:06,719
just because 95 percent of the world's

1829
01:10:09,990 --> 01:10:07,920
people

1830
01:10:11,990 --> 01:10:10,000
do not control the wealth and resources

1831
01:10:13,030 --> 01:10:12,000
of the planet what's the trouble oh wait

1832
01:10:15,990 --> 01:10:13,040
a minute

1833
01:10:18,790 --> 01:10:16,000
i think i begin to understand

1834
01:10:20,070 --> 01:10:18,800
it turns out that 2.6 billion people let

1835
01:10:23,750 --> 01:10:20,080
me repeat that because you might have

1836
01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:23,760
missed it 2.6 billion people do not have

1837
01:10:28,630 --> 01:10:25,360
a toilet

1838
01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:28,640
on this planet today

1839
01:10:31,270 --> 01:10:30,320
all right be kind of hurting with that

1840
01:10:33,990 --> 01:10:31,280
one

1841
01:10:35,270 --> 01:10:34,000
this is a civilization that calls itself

1842
01:10:36,709 --> 01:10:35,280
civilized

1843
01:10:37,669 --> 01:10:36,719
where

1844
01:10:39,830 --> 01:10:37,679
one

1845
01:10:41,990 --> 01:10:39,840
third of the population does not have

1846
01:10:45,189 --> 01:10:42,000
sanitation

1847
01:10:46,790 --> 01:10:45,199
where 1.5 billion people

1848
01:10:49,669 --> 01:10:46,800
do not have electricity did you know

1849
01:10:51,189 --> 01:10:49,679
that 1.5 billion people as we sit and

1850
01:10:52,510 --> 01:10:51,199
talk today

1851
01:10:57,510 --> 01:10:52,520
in this year

1852
01:10:59,590 --> 01:10:57,520
2014 do not have electricity

1853
01:11:01,750 --> 01:10:59,600
that's just hard to believe

1854
01:11:03,590 --> 01:11:01,760
see because and then you ask me why i'm

1855
01:11:04,790 --> 01:11:03,600
down you asked me the quest that's why i

1856
01:11:08,149 --> 01:11:04,800
laughed when you asked me the question

1857
01:11:10,229 --> 01:11:08,159
because clearly you don't understand

1858
01:11:11,750 --> 01:11:10,239
you don't understand that one one out of

1859
01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:11,760
eight people in the world will go to bed

1860
01:11:16,630 --> 01:11:13,120
tonight hungry

1861
01:11:19,590 --> 01:11:16,640
that's one out of every eight people

1862
01:11:22,390 --> 01:11:19,600
has insufficient food to eat

1863
01:11:24,550 --> 01:11:22,400
well and and i get it and the reason why

1864
01:11:26,310 --> 01:11:24,560
i ask the question is you know your

1865
01:11:28,149 --> 01:11:26,320
other books are very spiritually

1866
01:11:30,070 --> 01:11:28,159
uplifting and i started reading this

1867
01:11:32,070 --> 01:11:30,080
book and i'm like boy he's kind of

1868
01:11:34,310 --> 01:11:32,080
pissed off

1869
01:11:36,390 --> 01:11:34,320
so i had to ask the question

1870
01:11:38,229 --> 01:11:36,400
yeah i'm not pissed off what i am is

1871
01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:38,239
observing and when you finish reading

1872
01:11:42,310 --> 01:11:40,400
the book the book

1873
01:11:44,870 --> 01:11:42,320
excuse me

1874
01:11:46,390 --> 01:11:44,880
i'm sorry the book is very uplifting

1875
01:11:48,630 --> 01:11:46,400
the book because the book talks about

1876
01:11:51,189 --> 01:11:48,640
solutions but the book also points to

1877
01:11:53,430 --> 01:11:51,199
the problems and the problem is

1878
01:11:55,189 --> 01:11:53,440
our fundamental belief system about life

1879
01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:55,199
we can't you know frankly we just can't

1880
01:11:59,750 --> 01:11:57,360
go on like this if we're going to

1881
01:12:01,669 --> 01:11:59,760
declare ourselves to be an evolved

1882
01:12:05,030 --> 01:12:01,679
species if we're going to declare

1883
01:12:06,870 --> 01:12:05,040
ourselves to be a spiritual species

1884
01:12:11,110 --> 01:12:06,880
if we're going to declare ourselves to

1885
01:12:13,110 --> 01:12:11,120
be a civilized civilization then we're

1886
01:12:14,390 --> 01:12:13,120
going to have to make some changes it

1887
01:12:16,709 --> 01:12:14,400
seems to me

1888
01:12:19,030 --> 01:12:16,719
we can't continue you know living the

1889
01:12:21,350 --> 01:12:19,040
way we're living

1890
01:12:24,149 --> 01:12:21,360
and and call it good

1891
01:12:25,910 --> 01:12:24,159
and and by the way it that ignores to

1892
01:12:28,229 --> 01:12:25,920
our personal benefit this is not just

1893
01:12:30,550 --> 01:12:28,239
about changing the world or making uh

1894
01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:30,560
conditions on the planet better this is

1895
01:12:35,430 --> 01:12:32,960
about our own individual lives because

1896
01:12:36,950 --> 01:12:35,440
it seems to me that it's very difficult

1897
01:12:39,189 --> 01:12:36,960
i would think it would be very difficult

1898
01:12:41,750 --> 01:12:39,199
for any individual

1899
01:12:44,550 --> 01:12:41,760
to reach and sustain

1900
01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:44,560
a place of high individual

1901
01:12:48,830 --> 01:12:47,440
consciousness spiritual awareness and

1902
01:12:51,510 --> 01:12:48,840
spiritual

1903
01:12:53,189 --> 01:12:51,520
peace when looking into the face of

1904
01:12:55,630 --> 01:12:53,199
these conditions

1905
01:13:01,669 --> 01:12:55,640
that are being experienced by

1906
01:13:03,910 --> 01:13:01,679
95 percent of the people on the planet

1907
01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:03,920
so it's not possible i don't think for

1908
01:13:07,990 --> 01:13:05,920
us to feel you know when neil you know

1909
01:13:10,390 --> 01:13:08,000
relax everything is fine i mean i'm

1910
01:13:12,790 --> 01:13:10,400
doing fine here in terre haute

1911
01:13:15,189 --> 01:13:12,800
things are wonderful in phoenix

1912
01:13:18,310 --> 01:13:15,199
there's no problem in minneapolis what

1913
01:13:19,990 --> 01:13:18,320
neil relax

1914
01:13:22,149 --> 01:13:20,000
and of course if you're okay with that

1915
01:13:24,470 --> 01:13:22,159
if you're okay with

1916
01:13:25,590 --> 01:13:24,480
one third of the population

1917
01:13:29,110 --> 01:13:25,600
needing to

1918
01:13:32,149 --> 01:13:29,120
relieve themselves outdoors

1919
01:13:34,390 --> 01:13:32,159
then fine

1920
01:13:36,870 --> 01:13:34,400
live your life and allow yourself to

1921
01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:36,880
imagine that all is well

1922
01:13:41,590 --> 01:13:39,600
with the world

1923
01:13:43,430 --> 01:13:41,600
on the other hand if you see that we're

1924
01:13:44,870 --> 01:13:43,440
moving in the wrong direction

1925
01:13:47,630 --> 01:13:44,880
on the planet

1926
01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:47,640
that we're moving into a place of

1927
01:13:51,270 --> 01:13:49,360
non-sustainability that we cannot

1928
01:13:53,990 --> 01:13:51,280
sustain this lifestyle then you might

1929
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:54,000
want to ask why what you know what is it

1930
01:13:57,669 --> 01:13:55,760
that we don't understand the

1931
01:13:58,830 --> 01:13:57,679
understanding of which

1932
01:14:01,750 --> 01:13:58,840
would change

1933
01:14:03,669 --> 01:14:01,760
everything and i believe that it is our

1934
01:14:06,550 --> 01:14:03,679
spiritual

1935
01:14:09,270 --> 01:14:06,560
understandings not necessarily yours and

1936
01:14:11,030 --> 01:14:09,280
mine specifically or individually

1937
01:14:13,430 --> 01:14:11,040
but those that are embraced by the

1938
01:14:16,550 --> 01:14:13,440
largest number of people on the earth

1939
01:14:19,350 --> 01:14:16,560
that is billions and billions of people

1940
01:14:22,310 --> 01:14:19,360
who hold ideas about life

1941
01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:22,320
and about god specifically

1942
01:14:27,110 --> 01:14:25,120
a whole raft of ideas about god

1943
01:14:29,189 --> 01:14:27,120
which drive the engine of the human

1944
01:14:31,430 --> 01:14:29,199
experience and create these conditions

1945
01:14:34,229 --> 01:14:31,440
i've just spoken of

1946
01:14:35,189 --> 01:14:34,239
that's why the book god's message to the

1947
01:14:37,990 --> 01:14:35,199
world

1948
01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:38,000
you've got me all wrong

1949
01:14:43,270 --> 01:14:40,719
has been written and published because

1950
01:14:45,189 --> 01:14:43,280
when i asked god in my conversations

1951
01:14:47,669 --> 01:14:45,199
with god you know what what is it what

1952
01:14:50,149 --> 01:14:47,679
what is it that creates

1953
01:14:51,669 --> 01:14:50,159
the extraordinarily dysfunctional world

1954
01:14:54,070 --> 01:14:51,679
in which we live god says it's really

1955
01:14:56,470 --> 01:14:54,080
very simple it's what you believe

1956
01:14:57,990 --> 01:14:56,480
it's what you believe about yourself

1957
01:14:59,510 --> 01:14:58,000
about life

1958
01:15:02,310 --> 01:14:59,520
about the world

1959
01:15:04,149 --> 01:15:02,320
and mostly about god

1960
01:15:06,470 --> 01:15:04,159
change those beliefs and you will

1961
01:15:09,350 --> 01:15:06,480
finally create the world for which you

1962
01:15:11,830 --> 01:15:09,360
say you all yearn

1963
01:15:14,630 --> 01:15:11,840
but for which you do very little to

1964
01:15:19,830 --> 01:15:17,590
it seems to me that in

1965
01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:19,840
i'm going to say recent years

1966
01:15:25,910 --> 01:15:22,239
that people are starting to lift the

1967
01:15:27,229 --> 01:15:25,920
veil of some of the dogma that

1968
01:15:29,590 --> 01:15:27,239
we have been

1969
01:15:30,390 --> 01:15:29,600
enculturated with

1970
01:15:31,990 --> 01:15:30,400
um

1971
01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:32,000
you know not necessarily in the

1972
01:15:37,510 --> 01:15:35,040
spiritual realms but in other areas i

1973
01:15:39,750 --> 01:15:37,520
mean in spiritual realms as well but

1974
01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:39,760
they're starting to ask more questions

1975
01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:41,040
they're starting to

1976
01:15:45,669 --> 01:15:43,199
wanting they're wanting to know who's

1977
01:15:48,149 --> 01:15:45,679
the man standing behind the curtain and

1978
01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:48,159
it seems like bringing god into the

1979
01:15:54,310 --> 01:15:50,400
picture in our relationship with each

1980
01:15:56,149 --> 01:15:54,320
other is is just another aspect of that

1981
01:15:58,630 --> 01:15:56,159
questioning

1982
01:16:00,310 --> 01:15:58,640
well i couldn't agree with you more and

1983
01:16:02,630 --> 01:16:00,320
i also agree with your observation that

1984
01:16:05,030 --> 01:16:02,640
we're seeing larger and larger numbers

1985
01:16:07,830 --> 01:16:05,040
of people who are going there who are

1986
01:16:10,550 --> 01:16:07,840
beginning to finally explore and examine

1987
01:16:12,950 --> 01:16:10,560
the root cause of our global dysfunction

1988
01:16:15,110 --> 01:16:12,960
to say nothing of our in some cases our

1989
01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:15,120
individual dysfunction you know

1990
01:16:18,950 --> 01:16:16,880
what i notice is that even among the

1991
01:16:20,950 --> 01:16:18,960
five percent of the people

1992
01:16:22,630 --> 01:16:20,960
who are holding ninety five percent of

1993
01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:22,640
the world's wealth and resources even

1994
01:16:27,430 --> 01:16:25,120
among that five percent many people are

1995
01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:27,440
simply unhappy

1996
01:16:36,470 --> 01:16:32,719
they're leading lives of

1997
01:16:39,669 --> 01:16:36,480
discomfort and despair and unhappiness

1998
01:16:41,510 --> 01:16:39,679
in way way way too many cases so we even

1999
01:16:42,709 --> 01:16:41,520
find we even find suffering and

2000
01:16:45,510 --> 01:16:42,719
unhappiness

2001
01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:45,520
among the extraordinarily well-to-do and

2002
01:16:49,430 --> 01:16:47,679
even among those who are living a very

2003
01:16:50,870 --> 01:16:49,440
comfortable and wonderful life so we

2004
01:16:52,709 --> 01:16:50,880
have to ask ourselves you know what's

2005
01:16:54,229 --> 01:16:52,719
what's going on and i think you're right

2006
01:16:56,070 --> 01:16:54,239
more and more people are asking

2007
01:16:59,189 --> 01:16:56,080
themselves that question

2008
01:17:01,110 --> 01:16:59,199
the the inquiry however that the key

2009
01:17:02,950 --> 01:17:01,120
question is

2010
01:17:05,590 --> 01:17:02,960
are we asking ourselves that question

2011
01:17:07,910 --> 01:17:05,600
fast enough that is

2012
01:17:08,950 --> 01:17:07,920
are enough people uh moving in that

2013
01:17:10,630 --> 01:17:08,960
direction

2014
01:17:11,830 --> 01:17:10,640
so that we can actually win this human

2015
01:17:14,790 --> 01:17:11,840
race

2016
01:17:17,270 --> 01:17:14,800
or are we going to be finding ourselves

2017
01:17:19,030 --> 01:17:17,280
in such an unsustainable situation that

2018
01:17:21,189 --> 01:17:19,040
in another 50 years

2019
01:17:24,229 --> 01:17:21,199
there's not enough water

2020
01:17:26,550 --> 01:17:24,239
to serve us all on the planet

2021
01:17:28,470 --> 01:17:26,560
we even have 50 years that's the

2022
01:17:30,870 --> 01:17:28,480
question i ask myself

2023
01:17:33,189 --> 01:17:30,880
fairly regular

2024
01:17:34,709 --> 01:17:33,199
that's a very good question

2025
01:17:36,390 --> 01:17:34,719
i i don't have any way of really

2026
01:17:38,070 --> 01:17:36,400
estimating whether it's 30 years 50

2027
01:17:39,430 --> 01:17:38,080
years or 100 years but it's certainly

2028
01:17:42,390 --> 01:17:39,440
not going to be

2029
01:17:45,350 --> 01:17:42,400
an infinite number of years i do believe

2030
01:17:46,950 --> 01:17:45,360
that in the lives of my grandchildren uh

2031
01:17:49,270 --> 01:17:46,960
things if unless we turn something

2032
01:17:51,590 --> 01:17:49,280
around here things could become

2033
01:17:53,189 --> 01:17:51,600
extremely difficult and very challenging

2034
01:17:54,790 --> 01:17:53,199
on this wonderful planet and there's no

2035
01:17:56,870 --> 01:17:54,800
re the sad part about it is there's no

2036
01:17:58,790 --> 01:17:56,880
reason for that we have in fact been

2037
01:18:00,149 --> 01:17:58,800
given a wonderful planet with abundant

2038
01:18:02,070 --> 01:18:00,159
resources

2039
01:18:03,830 --> 01:18:02,080
and and sufficient

2040
01:18:05,030 --> 01:18:03,840
opportunities for us to create the kind

2041
01:18:08,149 --> 01:18:05,040
of life that we really want to

2042
01:18:11,110 --> 01:18:08,159
experience we simply have to stop

2043
01:18:14,790 --> 01:18:11,120
being the way we're being now stop

2044
01:18:16,229 --> 01:18:14,800
acting the way we're acting now and stop

2045
01:18:17,750 --> 01:18:16,239
believing the things that we are

2046
01:18:19,590 --> 01:18:17,760
believing now

2047
01:18:22,229 --> 01:18:19,600
which is what is causing us to act the

2048
01:18:24,950 --> 01:18:22,239
way we're acting you see

2049
01:18:28,149 --> 01:18:24,960
and you believe that it all comes down

2050
01:18:30,709 --> 01:18:28,159
to this dogma that we have been fed from

2051
01:18:32,470 --> 01:18:30,719
a spiritual perspective

2052
01:18:34,950 --> 01:18:32,480
i don't know that it all comes down from

2053
01:18:38,070 --> 01:18:34,960
that but it certainly does uh to a large

2054
01:18:39,510 --> 01:18:38,080
degree come down to what we believe

2055
01:18:42,390 --> 01:18:39,520
about life

2056
01:18:44,229 --> 01:18:42,400
and those ideas emerge from what we have

2057
01:18:46,310 --> 01:18:44,239
been told about this

2058
01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:46,320
person that is called god and there are

2059
01:18:49,270 --> 01:18:47,440
a lot of people on the planet who don't

2060
01:18:50,790 --> 01:18:49,280
even believe in god but and and they

2061
01:18:52,470 --> 01:18:50,800
don't believe in god they've moved away

2062
01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:52,480
if they ever did

2063
01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:54,800
from their belief in god because they

2064
01:19:00,390 --> 01:18:57,360
don't agree with what's being said about

2065
01:19:01,910 --> 01:19:00,400
this god in whom many others do believe

2066
01:19:03,669 --> 01:19:01,920
so i'm not sure that that's the whole

2067
01:19:06,310 --> 01:19:03,679
problem but it's a huge

2068
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:06,320
huge part of the problem

2069
01:19:10,630 --> 01:19:08,320
and uh and

2070
01:19:13,270 --> 01:19:10,640
because it is and i can tell you why it

2071
01:19:15,669 --> 01:19:13,280
is by the way most of the laws

2072
01:19:17,189 --> 01:19:15,679
most of the civil laws i'm talking about

2073
01:19:19,830 --> 01:19:17,199
civil laws

2074
01:19:22,630 --> 01:19:19,840
on the earth from country to country are

2075
01:19:24,310 --> 01:19:22,640
based to some degree in spiritual and

2076
01:19:27,110 --> 01:19:24,320
religious beliefs

2077
01:19:29,030 --> 01:19:27,120
most of the laws of western countries

2078
01:19:31,830 --> 01:19:29,040
scholars about the law understand this

2079
01:19:34,229 --> 01:19:31,840
perfectly emerged from

2080
01:19:36,149 --> 01:19:34,239
canon law that is in the earliest days

2081
01:19:37,910 --> 01:19:36,159
when laws were being established whether

2082
01:19:40,070 --> 01:19:37,920
it's in england or later on in the

2083
01:19:42,390 --> 01:19:40,080
united states and elsewhere those laws

2084
01:19:45,510 --> 01:19:42,400
were based largely on canon law that is

2085
01:19:46,550 --> 01:19:45,520
the law of the christian catholic church

2086
01:19:48,870 --> 01:19:46,560
and

2087
01:19:51,590 --> 01:19:48,880
in even to this day in many countries

2088
01:19:54,310 --> 01:19:51,600
the law of the land is based on some

2089
01:19:56,390 --> 01:19:54,320
scriptural or or

2090
01:19:58,550 --> 01:19:56,400
spiritual religious passage like the

2091
01:20:01,510 --> 01:19:58,560
sharia which which of course is the

2092
01:20:02,870 --> 01:20:01,520
basis of much of the civil laws of many

2093
01:20:05,669 --> 01:20:02,880
of the countries

2094
01:20:07,830 --> 01:20:05,679
where islam is the predominant religion

2095
01:20:11,270 --> 01:20:07,840
so we we don't have to look very far to

2096
01:20:14,149 --> 01:20:11,280
see what is informing our civil laws and

2097
01:20:19,350 --> 01:20:16,950
are directed toward the behaviors of

2098
01:20:21,510 --> 01:20:19,360
individuals and corporations and

2099
01:20:23,669 --> 01:20:21,520
politicians and the whole the whole

2100
01:20:24,790 --> 01:20:23,679
mechanistic structure of society from a

2101
01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:24,800
to z

2102
01:20:29,189 --> 01:20:27,120
just to give you a simple simple example

2103
01:20:30,790 --> 01:20:29,199
there are actually laws in the united

2104
01:20:31,510 --> 01:20:30,800
states and elsewhere in the world by the

2105
01:20:34,070 --> 01:20:31,520
way

2106
01:20:36,630 --> 01:20:34,080
that say it is criminal

2107
01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:36,640
it is against the law

2108
01:20:42,870 --> 01:20:40,320
to marry a person of the same gender

2109
01:20:44,149 --> 01:20:42,880
now there is no reason in civil law for

2110
01:20:46,950 --> 01:20:44,159
that to become

2111
01:20:49,030 --> 01:20:46,960
an actual a legal question

2112
01:20:50,790 --> 01:20:49,040
that there's there's no no civil reason

2113
01:20:51,590 --> 01:20:50,800
no liberty there's no reason in civil

2114
01:20:53,350 --> 01:20:51,600
law

2115
01:20:54,630 --> 01:20:53,360
the only reason is that people believe

2116
01:20:56,870 --> 01:20:54,640
that god

2117
01:20:58,870 --> 01:20:56,880
says it's not okay

2118
01:21:01,189 --> 01:20:58,880
and so because billions of people not a

2119
01:21:04,310 --> 01:21:01,199
couple hundred thousand but billions of

2120
01:21:05,430 --> 01:21:04,320
people believe that it is against god's

2121
01:21:07,830 --> 01:21:05,440
law

2122
01:21:09,350 --> 01:21:07,840
to fall in love with and choose to spend

2123
01:21:10,390 --> 01:21:09,360
your life with a person of the same

2124
01:21:13,189 --> 01:21:10,400
gender

2125
01:21:16,070 --> 01:21:13,199
because it is a presumably against god's

2126
01:21:17,510 --> 01:21:16,080
law we have made it against our law as

2127
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:17,520
well

2128
01:21:21,830 --> 01:21:19,760
that's just one of many many examples

2129
01:21:26,390 --> 01:21:21,840
when i was a child

2130
01:21:28,870 --> 01:21:26,400
they they tied

2131
01:21:30,470 --> 01:21:28,880
the hands of children they tied the arms

2132
01:21:32,310 --> 01:21:30,480
of children behind their backs with a

2133
01:21:34,790 --> 01:21:32,320
towel if they were left-handed because

2134
01:21:36,790 --> 01:21:34,800
they said that left-handedness was a

2135
01:21:39,430 --> 01:21:36,800
sign of the devil i'm not making this up

2136
01:21:41,990 --> 01:21:39,440
this was in my childhood

2137
01:21:44,470 --> 01:21:42,000
in my childhood a black man could not

2138
01:21:46,950 --> 01:21:44,480
marry a white woman because interracial

2139
01:21:48,709 --> 01:21:46,960
marriage was considered to be follow my

2140
01:21:52,870 --> 01:21:48,719
follow my reasoning now

2141
01:21:54,390 --> 01:21:52,880
against the law of god

2142
01:21:56,629 --> 01:21:54,400
and because it was against the law of

2143
01:21:59,189 --> 01:21:56,639
god we decided we should make it against

2144
01:22:01,270 --> 01:21:59,199
the law of human beings as well

2145
01:22:03,990 --> 01:22:01,280
the mormon church until relatively

2146
01:22:06,470 --> 01:22:04,000
recently until about only 35 years ago

2147
01:22:08,709 --> 01:22:06,480
refused to allow a black man to become a

2148
01:22:10,870 --> 01:22:08,719
priest in the mormon church because of

2149
01:22:13,510 --> 01:22:10,880
the color of his skin

2150
01:22:15,590 --> 01:22:13,520
because the mormon church believed until

2151
01:22:18,149 --> 01:22:15,600
a new revelation came to the leaders 30

2152
01:22:19,590 --> 01:22:18,159
years ago the mormon church believed

2153
01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,600
that

2154
01:22:23,189 --> 01:22:21,840
persons with black skin carried here we

2155
01:22:25,830 --> 01:22:23,199
go again

2156
01:22:29,750 --> 01:22:25,840
the curse of satan

2157
01:22:32,550 --> 01:22:29,760
this was a church saying this

2158
01:22:34,390 --> 01:22:32,560
yeah i could go on forever about how

2159
01:22:36,470 --> 01:22:34,400
human beings have treated each other

2160
01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:36,480
based on

2161
01:22:41,669 --> 01:22:38,880
their understanding of

2162
01:22:43,510 --> 01:22:41,679
how god is treating us and then one day

2163
01:22:45,270 --> 01:22:43,520
we woke up and said you know what

2164
01:22:46,790 --> 01:22:45,280
what if god didn't have any of those

2165
01:22:49,189 --> 01:22:46,800
preferences

2166
01:22:51,350 --> 01:22:49,199
what if god never even dreamt of never

2167
01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:51,360
even thought of an idea that because of

2168
01:22:55,669 --> 01:22:53,440
the color of your skin you shouldn't be

2169
01:22:58,629 --> 01:22:55,679
a member of the clergy to say nothing

2170
01:23:01,030 --> 01:22:58,639
about your anatomical characteristics

2171
01:23:03,110 --> 01:23:01,040
because women still can't become members

2172
01:23:06,390 --> 01:23:03,120
of the clergy in certain faiths because

2173
01:23:09,669 --> 01:23:06,400
they don't have particular apertures

2174
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:09,679
what in the world what in the world

2175
01:23:13,590 --> 01:23:11,760
have we done to ourselves

2176
01:23:16,390 --> 01:23:13,600
saying that this is god's preference and

2177
01:23:19,270 --> 01:23:16,400
these are god's laws

2178
01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:19,280
so what we're calling for now is a brand

2179
01:23:24,550 --> 01:23:21,760
new look at the possibility that it

2180
01:23:27,270 --> 01:23:24,560
could be true god's message to the world

2181
01:23:30,470 --> 01:23:27,280
you've got me all wrong

2182
01:23:33,750 --> 01:23:30,480
guys you're making it all up

2183
01:23:36,629 --> 01:23:33,760
to suit your own personal predilections

2184
01:23:37,669 --> 01:23:36,639
having nothing to do with what god

2185
01:23:39,750 --> 01:23:37,679
serves

2186
01:23:42,390 --> 01:23:39,760
us with in terms of

2187
01:23:44,790 --> 01:23:42,400
her desires or what god gives us or what

2188
01:23:47,189 --> 01:23:44,800
god asks for or demands from us

2189
01:23:48,629 --> 01:23:47,199
so i've written a book that contains 17

2190
01:23:50,629 --> 01:23:48,639
statements

2191
01:23:52,950 --> 01:23:50,639
that human beings believe are true about

2192
01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:52,960
god none of which

2193
01:23:56,870 --> 01:23:55,040
are true and on the back of the book i

2194
01:24:00,070 --> 01:23:56,880
actually printed those statements as a

2195
01:24:02,229 --> 01:24:00,080
true or false quiz true or false god is

2196
01:24:03,510 --> 01:24:02,239
to be feared

2197
01:24:04,790 --> 01:24:03,520
well

2198
01:24:06,390 --> 01:24:04,800
three and a half billion people in the

2199
01:24:08,310 --> 01:24:06,400
world would say of course

2200
01:24:10,149 --> 01:24:08,320
of course we should be god-fearing

2201
01:24:11,430 --> 01:24:10,159
people

2202
01:24:13,990 --> 01:24:11,440
true or false

2203
01:24:16,149 --> 01:24:14,000
god demands obedience

2204
01:24:17,830 --> 01:24:16,159
well several billion people on the

2205
01:24:19,350 --> 01:24:17,840
planet would say of course of course god

2206
01:24:21,750 --> 01:24:19,360
demands obedience you don't obey god

2207
01:24:24,950 --> 01:24:21,760
you're in big trouble

2208
01:24:27,430 --> 01:24:24,960
true or false god requires us to believe

2209
01:24:29,750 --> 01:24:27,440
and to in god and to worship god in a

2210
01:24:32,070 --> 01:24:29,760
specific way that is you must belong to

2211
01:24:34,390 --> 01:24:32,080
a particular faith tradition or a

2212
01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:34,400
particular religion otherwise you're

2213
01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:40,070
true or false god is vengeful and god's

2214
01:24:45,189 --> 01:24:43,440
love can turn to wrath

2215
01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:45,199
and the list goes on

2216
01:24:51,350 --> 01:24:48,560
the book contains 17 such statements

2217
01:24:53,030 --> 01:24:51,360
belief systems like god has a plan for

2218
01:24:56,229 --> 01:24:53,040
us ah

2219
01:24:58,950 --> 01:24:56,239
or god is on our side and that allows us

2220
01:25:01,430 --> 01:24:58,960
to lop off people's heads and broadcast

2221
01:25:03,590 --> 01:25:01,440
it on television because god is on our

2222
01:25:06,149 --> 01:25:03,600
side

2223
01:25:09,990 --> 01:25:06,159
or god honors self-sacrifice and

2224
01:25:12,629 --> 01:25:10,000
long-suffering and martyrdom

2225
01:25:15,750 --> 01:25:12,639
or ideas like god sometimes answers our

2226
01:25:17,910 --> 01:25:15,760
prayers and sometimes does not

2227
01:25:20,070 --> 01:25:17,920
god will reward us or punish us on

2228
01:25:23,189 --> 01:25:20,080
judgment day

2229
01:25:24,830 --> 01:25:23,199
and the last two really really powerful

2230
01:25:27,430 --> 01:25:24,840
misbeliefs

2231
01:25:29,910 --> 01:25:27,440
misunderstandings god wants us to return

2232
01:25:33,750 --> 01:25:29,920
to heaven

2233
01:25:37,669 --> 01:25:33,760
and the biggest misunderstanding of all

2234
01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:39,270
he's over there

2235
01:25:43,830 --> 01:25:41,440
and we're over here

2236
01:25:46,550 --> 01:25:43,840
and never the twain shall meet

2237
01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:46,560
except of course on judgment day

2238
01:25:51,350 --> 01:25:48,080
when those of us who have been naughty

2239
01:25:53,910 --> 01:25:51,360
boys and girls will go straight to hell

2240
01:25:56,149 --> 01:25:53,920
a place of everlasting damnation not

2241
01:25:58,629 --> 01:25:56,159
even you know equal to the sins we've

2242
01:26:00,629 --> 01:25:58,639
committed but everlasting damnation and

2243
01:26:02,149 --> 01:26:00,639
by the way just in case you've missed

2244
01:26:04,070 --> 01:26:02,159
the point

2245
01:26:06,709 --> 01:26:04,080
you're going to experience everlasting

2246
01:26:08,870 --> 01:26:06,719
damnation the fires and the torment of

2247
01:26:11,750 --> 01:26:08,880
everlasting suffering in hell

2248
01:26:16,070 --> 01:26:11,760
even if you have been compassionate kind

2249
01:26:20,149 --> 01:26:18,390
peaceful and patient as a person on

2250
01:26:22,950 --> 01:26:20,159
earth doesn't matter

2251
01:26:24,950 --> 01:26:22,960
see because you chose the wrong religion

2252
01:26:26,709 --> 01:26:24,960
so if you belong to the wrong faith god

2253
01:26:28,709 --> 01:26:26,719
says i really don't care how you acted

2254
01:26:31,510 --> 01:26:28,719
while you were alive that doesn't matter

2255
01:26:33,350 --> 01:26:31,520
to me you you didn't belong to the right

2256
01:26:35,990 --> 01:26:33,360
religion so you're going to suffer in

2257
01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:36,000
the everlasting fires of hell

2258
01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:38,560
unbelievable torment forever and ever

2259
01:26:42,629 --> 01:26:41,040
and even forever more you were a nice

2260
01:26:44,950 --> 01:26:42,639
person everyone who knew you said you

2261
01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:44,960
were an incredibly wonderful human being

2262
01:26:50,229 --> 01:26:47,920
but see we don't care about that up here

2263
01:26:51,669 --> 01:26:50,239
we only care that you it's a name-brand

2264
01:26:55,350 --> 01:26:51,679
religion you got to belong to the right

2265
01:26:59,590 --> 01:26:57,430
growing up i went to catholic school and

2266
01:27:02,950 --> 01:26:59,600
they told us that if you weren't

2267
01:27:05,910 --> 01:27:02,960
baptized that you went to limbo

2268
01:27:07,990 --> 01:27:05,920
so that created some big issues for me

2269
01:27:09,830 --> 01:27:08,000
because my dad's jewish

2270
01:27:11,669 --> 01:27:09,840
and so

2271
01:27:14,149 --> 01:27:11,679
you know i was like can't you take it

2272
01:27:17,189 --> 01:27:14,159
back can't you take the baptism back

2273
01:27:19,830 --> 01:27:17,199
because it really upset me that when i

2274
01:27:21,669 --> 01:27:19,840
died i would never see my dad i'd never

2275
01:27:23,510 --> 01:27:21,679
see my grandmother i would never see my

2276
01:27:25,030 --> 01:27:23,520
grandfather again and it

2277
01:27:28,229 --> 01:27:25,040
it it

2278
01:27:29,510 --> 01:27:28,239
started this the schism within myself of

2279
01:27:32,310 --> 01:27:29,520
uh

2280
01:27:34,870 --> 01:27:32,320
separation from the catholic church in

2281
01:27:37,030 --> 01:27:34,880
second grade

2282
01:27:39,110 --> 01:27:37,040
just because of the stuff they say

2283
01:27:41,270 --> 01:27:39,120
unfortunately we're seeing some changes

2284
01:27:43,110 --> 01:27:41,280
even the catholic church has announced

2285
01:27:44,790 --> 01:27:43,120
that there's no such thing as limbo the

2286
01:27:46,790 --> 01:27:44,800
pope said a couple of years ago oh you

2287
01:27:48,709 --> 01:27:46,800
know what we made a mistake he made an

2288
01:27:50,390 --> 01:27:48,719
official declaration

2289
01:27:52,709 --> 01:27:50,400
and said you know there actually there

2290
01:27:54,790 --> 01:27:52,719
is no such place as limbo and the

2291
01:27:55,669 --> 01:27:54,800
teaching of limbo was just simply an

2292
01:28:00,709 --> 01:27:55,679
error

2293
01:28:02,870 --> 01:28:00,719
hundred years but in fact thinking about

2294
01:28:05,110 --> 01:28:02,880
it more closely we see that there's no

2295
01:28:07,350 --> 01:28:05,120
such place as limbo pope john paul ii

2296
01:28:10,870 --> 01:28:07,360
said something even more extraordinary

2297
01:28:12,550 --> 01:28:10,880
uh in 1999 he he in a in an encyclical

2298
01:28:15,270 --> 01:28:12,560
before an audience of several hundred

2299
01:28:16,870 --> 01:28:15,280
people in rome he said there's no such

2300
01:28:19,110 --> 01:28:16,880
place as hell

2301
01:28:21,189 --> 01:28:19,120
hell doesn't exist as a place of torment

2302
01:28:23,430 --> 01:28:21,199
or eternal damnation and furthermore he

2303
01:28:24,470 --> 01:28:23,440
said it's not god's job to send us to

2304
01:28:29,030 --> 01:28:24,480
hell

2305
01:28:31,430 --> 01:28:29,040
and it's the experience of separation

2306
01:28:33,430 --> 01:28:31,440
that we voluntarily enter into we

2307
01:28:35,750 --> 01:28:33,440
separate ourselves from god and there's

2308
01:28:36,790 --> 01:28:35,760
nothing more hell like nothing more

2309
01:28:38,629 --> 01:28:36,800
hellish

2310
01:28:40,390 --> 01:28:38,639
than to be separated from god but it's a

2311
01:28:42,390 --> 01:28:40,400
voluntary choice that we make and we can

2312
01:28:45,030 --> 01:28:42,400
undo it we can unchoose it

2313
01:28:47,030 --> 01:28:45,040
we can decide that we you know okay

2314
01:28:49,350 --> 01:28:47,040
we're going to actually in fact not

2315
01:28:51,189 --> 01:28:49,360
separate ourselves from god

2316
01:28:54,870 --> 01:28:51,199
so this is the pope of the roman

2317
01:28:56,790 --> 01:28:54,880
catholic church saying i'm impressed

2318
01:28:59,189 --> 01:28:56,800
i'm really impressed

2319
01:29:00,870 --> 01:28:59,199
so and and of course as i mentioned a

2320
01:29:02,950 --> 01:29:00,880
couple of uh years ago you know

2321
01:29:05,830 --> 01:29:02,960
relatively speaking 30 years ago or so

2322
01:29:08,390 --> 01:29:05,840
in the 70s the mormon church decided

2323
01:29:09,750 --> 01:29:08,400
that it was okay for blacks for black

2324
01:29:11,270 --> 01:29:09,760
men to become priests it was worse than

2325
01:29:13,110 --> 01:29:11,280
that actually in the mormon church not

2326
01:29:14,470 --> 01:29:13,120
only could black men not become priests

2327
01:29:17,189 --> 01:29:14,480
black women

2328
01:29:19,990 --> 01:29:17,199
men or women could not even attend

2329
01:29:24,229 --> 01:29:20,000
temple they were not get this not

2330
01:29:26,390 --> 01:29:24,239
allowed into the house of the lord what

2331
01:29:28,310 --> 01:29:26,400
about 30 years ago the leadership of the

2332
01:29:29,590 --> 01:29:28,320
church said you know okay fair enough we

2333
01:29:31,030 --> 01:29:29,600
made a mistake

2334
01:29:32,629 --> 01:29:31,040
and although although they didn't say

2335
01:29:34,629 --> 01:29:32,639
that they said that they had received in

2336
01:29:37,510 --> 01:29:34,639
the in the words of the of the church

2337
01:29:41,030 --> 01:29:37,520
leaders a new revelation

2338
01:29:42,310 --> 01:29:41,040
they had received a new revelation

2339
01:29:44,470 --> 01:29:42,320
that was those are the words that the

2340
01:29:46,390 --> 01:29:44,480
leaders of the church used

2341
01:29:48,070 --> 01:29:46,400
and because of that new revelation they

2342
01:29:51,350 --> 01:29:48,080
rescinded their

2343
01:29:53,590 --> 01:29:51,360
uh you know their their orders they

2344
01:29:55,270 --> 01:29:53,600
rescinded their idea that they held from

2345
01:29:56,070 --> 01:29:55,280
the beginning of the church

2346
01:29:58,629 --> 01:29:56,080
and

2347
01:30:01,510 --> 01:29:58,639
they then allowed black people to come

2348
01:30:02,550 --> 01:30:01,520
to temple and black men to become

2349
01:30:04,229 --> 01:30:02,560
priests

2350
01:30:06,790 --> 01:30:04,239
wow what an enlightened point of view it

2351
01:30:07,830 --> 01:30:06,800
took them only until 1976 to get to that

2352
01:30:10,070 --> 01:30:07,840
place

2353
01:30:13,510 --> 01:30:10,080
so you see how how

2354
01:30:15,270 --> 01:30:13,520
slow and how incredibly

2355
01:30:17,510 --> 01:30:15,280
how incredibly slow

2356
01:30:19,590 --> 01:30:17,520
our progress has been but

2357
01:30:21,910 --> 01:30:19,600
it's now speeding up

2358
01:30:23,510 --> 01:30:21,920
we are increasing in our a level of

2359
01:30:27,510 --> 01:30:23,520
awareness and we're saying to each other

2360
01:30:29,910 --> 01:30:27,520
okay obviously i mean obviously

2361
01:30:33,189 --> 01:30:29,920
some of these beliefs are may i use the

2362
01:30:36,149 --> 01:30:33,199
word ridiculous

2363
01:30:38,149 --> 01:30:36,159
and so we are now going to decide

2364
01:30:40,229 --> 01:30:38,159
what if it were true

2365
01:30:43,030 --> 01:30:40,239
that many of the things we believe about

2366
01:30:45,350 --> 01:30:43,040
god god is to be feared

2367
01:30:46,830 --> 01:30:45,360
god's forgiveness is required for us to

2368
01:30:49,510 --> 01:30:46,840
get into

2369
01:30:53,270 --> 01:30:49,520
heaven god was at war with the devil and

2370
01:30:57,270 --> 01:30:55,350
well and let me enter let me interject

2371
01:31:01,030 --> 01:30:57,280
something here i mean

2372
01:31:03,510 --> 01:31:01,040
your focus has been on

2373
01:31:06,310 --> 01:31:03,520
more contemporary religions and the

2374
01:31:08,149 --> 01:31:06,320
belief systems but much of the stuff

2375
01:31:10,950 --> 01:31:08,159
that you cover which is the part that i

2376
01:31:13,669 --> 01:31:10,960
was like sweet about this book

2377
01:31:15,270 --> 01:31:13,679
are belief systems that go

2378
01:31:19,510 --> 01:31:15,280
back so

2379
01:31:22,470 --> 01:31:19,520
far into antiquity long before the jews

2380
01:31:24,390 --> 01:31:22,480
long before the catholics

2381
01:31:28,149 --> 01:31:24,400
that really kind of create the

2382
01:31:30,390 --> 01:31:28,159
foundation of our civilization

2383
01:31:32,790 --> 01:31:30,400
and the question i always ask myself

2384
01:31:34,950 --> 01:31:32,800
when i start stepping outside that box

2385
01:31:36,950 --> 01:31:34,960
you know that little heretical box is

2386
01:31:38,790 --> 01:31:36,960
well who made up these rules in the

2387
01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:38,800
first place

2388
01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:41,520
whose guidelines are we following

2389
01:31:44,870 --> 01:31:43,360
because if they're not gods

2390
01:31:46,870 --> 01:31:44,880
they're somebodies

2391
01:31:49,030 --> 01:31:46,880
and this is you know some of them are

2392
01:31:50,310 --> 01:31:49,040
universal they are found in every

2393
01:31:54,070 --> 01:31:50,320
culture

2394
01:31:58,310 --> 01:31:56,390
i think that the challenge that we are

2395
01:32:00,390 --> 01:31:58,320
facing is that we are a very young

2396
01:32:02,629 --> 01:32:00,400
species number one

2397
01:32:04,390 --> 01:32:02,639
let me uh comment on that at two levels

2398
01:32:06,149 --> 01:32:04,400
first of all the age of our species

2399
01:32:08,149 --> 01:32:06,159
itself it's not widely understood it's

2400
01:32:10,629 --> 01:32:08,159
not widely known

2401
01:32:13,430 --> 01:32:10,639
uh or comprehended deeply that we are a

2402
01:32:14,709 --> 01:32:13,440
very very young species in this universe

2403
01:32:15,510 --> 01:32:14,719
first of all of course there are many

2404
01:32:17,189 --> 01:32:15,520
more

2405
01:32:19,910 --> 01:32:17,199
species of of

2406
01:32:23,270 --> 01:32:19,920
sentient beings in this universe than

2407
01:32:24,950 --> 01:32:23,280
human beings we we know that i mean any

2408
01:32:28,550 --> 01:32:24,960
thinking person understands that there

2409
01:32:31,110 --> 01:32:28,560
are billions and billions of stars

2410
01:32:32,149 --> 01:32:31,120
around which revolve trillions of

2411
01:32:34,229 --> 01:32:32,159
planets

2412
01:32:36,149 --> 01:32:34,239
surely there's at least one other one

2413
01:32:38,950 --> 01:32:36,159
and of course there are many more

2414
01:32:40,790 --> 01:32:38,960
where where uh life life forms have been

2415
01:32:42,790 --> 01:32:40,800
able to exist

2416
01:32:44,310 --> 01:32:42,800
and and those life forms have created

2417
01:32:45,910 --> 01:32:44,320
actual civilizations that is

2418
01:32:49,110 --> 01:32:45,920
civilizations that are

2419
01:32:50,709 --> 01:32:49,120
civilized as opposed to our uncivilized

2420
01:32:55,590 --> 01:32:50,719
civilization

2421
01:32:57,990 --> 01:32:55,600
we actually kill people

2422
01:32:59,910 --> 01:32:58,000
by the government the governments in

2423
01:33:01,590 --> 01:32:59,920
countries kill people

2424
01:33:03,590 --> 01:33:01,600
in order to tell people that it's wrong

2425
01:33:05,750 --> 01:33:03,600
to kill people

2426
01:33:07,430 --> 01:33:05,760
we call that the death penalty

2427
01:33:09,430 --> 01:33:07,440
and so in states like texas they

2428
01:33:13,110 --> 01:33:09,440
actually brag about the fact that last

2429
01:33:15,270 --> 01:33:13,120
year they put to death over 550 people

2430
01:33:19,110 --> 01:33:15,280
put to death by the state to teach us

2431
01:33:21,669 --> 01:33:19,120
that killing people is not okay

2432
01:33:23,510 --> 01:33:21,679
completely ignoring einstein's marvelous

2433
01:33:25,510 --> 01:33:23,520
insight that you cannot solve any

2434
01:33:26,950 --> 01:33:25,520
problem using the same energy that

2435
01:33:28,470 --> 01:33:26,960
created it

2436
01:33:30,550 --> 01:33:28,480
you're not going to end violence with

2437
01:33:32,950 --> 01:33:30,560
violence you're not going to end anger

2438
01:33:34,390 --> 01:33:32,960
with anger

2439
01:33:36,470 --> 01:33:34,400
and and and

2440
01:33:38,629 --> 01:33:36,480
so but you know we we're very young

2441
01:33:40,070 --> 01:33:38,639
species so here's how young we are just

2442
01:33:41,750 --> 01:33:40,080
so people can understand the nature of

2443
01:33:44,070 --> 01:33:41,760
the problem

2444
01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:44,080
if you take the age of the earth

2445
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:46,560
and put it on the scale of one year just

2446
01:33:50,229 --> 01:33:48,800
for purposes of scale so we can really

2447
01:33:52,629 --> 01:33:50,239
bring it within our ability to

2448
01:33:54,070 --> 01:33:52,639
understand let's pretend that the entire

2449
01:33:55,990 --> 01:33:54,080
age of the earth

2450
01:33:57,750 --> 01:33:56,000
is has been overlaid on a calendar year

2451
01:34:00,229 --> 01:33:57,760
if that's true the first

2452
01:34:02,390 --> 01:34:00,239
single cell forms of life on the earth

2453
01:34:04,310 --> 01:34:02,400
didn't appear until the end of march

2454
01:34:06,310 --> 01:34:04,320
dinosaurs didn't appear on this planet

2455
01:34:08,390 --> 01:34:06,320
until december the 7th

2456
01:34:10,629 --> 01:34:08,400
humanoids that is mammals who walked

2457
01:34:13,990 --> 01:34:10,639
upright on two legs did not appear until

2458
01:34:16,070 --> 01:34:14,000
around the 24th or 25th of december

2459
01:34:18,149 --> 01:34:16,080
and the entirety of human history that

2460
01:34:21,510 --> 01:34:18,159
is everything we've recorded in human

2461
01:34:24,950 --> 01:34:21,520
history has taken place in the last

2462
01:34:27,430 --> 01:34:24,960
60 seconds of the year

2463
01:34:30,830 --> 01:34:27,440
that's how young we are as a species

2464
01:34:33,270 --> 01:34:30,840
relative to the age of just this

2465
01:34:35,350 --> 01:34:33,280
planet forget about the age of the

2466
01:34:38,070 --> 01:34:35,360
universe

2467
01:34:41,669 --> 01:34:38,080
so we can see then that we are a very

2468
01:34:44,629 --> 01:34:41,679
very primitive immature species in the

2469
01:34:47,270 --> 01:34:44,639
very earliest stages of our birth

2470
01:34:48,550 --> 01:34:47,280
into the cosmic community of sentient

2471
01:34:50,229 --> 01:34:48,560
beings

2472
01:34:52,149 --> 01:34:50,239
so that's condition number one i wanted

2473
01:34:53,910 --> 01:34:52,159
to discuss in terms of where did all

2474
01:34:55,990 --> 01:34:53,920
these ideas come from these are the

2475
01:34:58,310 --> 01:34:56,000
ideas of children

2476
01:34:59,990 --> 01:34:58,320
who simply don't understand who simply

2477
01:35:01,270 --> 01:35:00,000
really believe in a deity will give them

2478
01:35:02,870 --> 01:35:01,280
credit for that at least they do believe

2479
01:35:04,470 --> 01:35:02,880
there is a deity at least they do

2480
01:35:05,750 --> 01:35:04,480
believe there's something larger than us

2481
01:35:07,830 --> 01:35:05,760
fair enough

2482
01:35:10,229 --> 01:35:07,840
but a very immature belief that says you

2483
01:35:11,910 --> 01:35:10,239
know it's the god of the brand name you

2484
01:35:13,110 --> 01:35:11,920
either belong to this religion or you're

2485
01:35:14,790 --> 01:35:13,120
going to hell

2486
01:35:16,550 --> 01:35:14,800
for the rest of all eternity because i

2487
01:35:19,189 --> 01:35:16,560
only accept people who have the right

2488
01:35:21,590 --> 01:35:19,199
membership card

2489
01:35:25,110 --> 01:35:21,600
and that is of course extraordinarily

2490
01:35:27,189 --> 01:35:25,120
immature primitive thought of a child

2491
01:35:28,790 --> 01:35:27,199
now where do these thoughts come from

2492
01:35:30,310 --> 01:35:28,800
where did the original thought come from

2493
01:35:32,310 --> 01:35:30,320
what is the original if there was an

2494
01:35:34,070 --> 01:35:32,320
original mistake what was the original

2495
01:35:36,709 --> 01:35:34,080
mistake

2496
01:35:39,669 --> 01:35:36,719
came

2497
01:35:42,550 --> 01:35:39,679
in the earliest days of our awakening as

2498
01:35:44,390 --> 01:35:42,560
a species of sentient beings when we

2499
01:35:46,550 --> 01:35:44,400
first began to put two and two together

2500
01:35:48,229 --> 01:35:46,560
even at the most primitive level and

2501
01:35:49,590 --> 01:35:48,239
began to come to understand some things

2502
01:35:52,629 --> 01:35:49,600
about life

2503
01:35:54,830 --> 01:35:52,639
picture the caveman looking into a pool

2504
01:35:57,910 --> 01:35:54,840
of water and he sees his

2505
01:35:59,590 --> 01:35:57,920
reflection and at some point in time it

2506
01:36:01,030 --> 01:35:59,600
occurred to him that the

2507
01:36:02,550 --> 01:36:01,040
person in the water was doing the same

2508
01:36:03,750 --> 01:36:02,560
thing he was doing he'd scratch his head

2509
01:36:06,149 --> 01:36:03,760
the person in the water would scratch

2510
01:36:07,510 --> 01:36:06,159
his head he'd tug on his ear the person

2511
01:36:11,590 --> 01:36:07,520
in the water would talk on his ear he

2512
01:36:15,030 --> 01:36:11,600
finally got oh my gosh that's me and so

2513
01:36:17,510 --> 01:36:15,040
the concept of self-awareness

2514
01:36:20,629 --> 01:36:17,520
came upon us as a species of sentient

2515
01:36:23,350 --> 01:36:20,639
beings we saw ourselves and we began to

2516
01:36:25,669 --> 01:36:23,360
recognize ourselves as different from

2517
01:36:27,110 --> 01:36:25,679
and other than

2518
01:36:28,870 --> 01:36:27,120
everybody else

2519
01:36:30,870 --> 01:36:28,880
now now we're all seated around the

2520
01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:30,880
campfire here in the caveman days we're

2521
01:36:34,950 --> 01:36:32,960
all seated around the campfire and you

2522
01:36:36,629 --> 01:36:34,960
know right we're eating whatever we

2523
01:36:38,629 --> 01:36:36,639
managed to capture that day and we're

2524
01:36:41,110 --> 01:36:38,639
having a fairly good time and suddenly

2525
01:36:43,430 --> 01:36:41,120
the rains come suddenly you know thunder

2526
01:36:45,350 --> 01:36:43,440
and lightning and and there's a crack of

2527
01:36:46,790 --> 01:36:45,360
thunder that cracks the air and we're

2528
01:36:48,310 --> 01:36:46,800
all wondering where that came from so

2529
01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:48,320
the head of the clan who is always the

2530
01:36:52,709 --> 01:36:50,960
biggest brutest strongest one the most

2531
01:36:54,870 --> 01:36:52,719
angry one and we all had to kowtow to

2532
01:36:56,229 --> 01:36:54,880
him and give him whatever he wanted as

2533
01:36:58,310 --> 01:36:56,239
long as we could give him what he wanted

2534
01:37:00,870 --> 01:36:58,320
and what pleasured him he would be

2535
01:37:03,430 --> 01:37:00,880
reasonably okay with life but if he got

2536
01:37:05,270 --> 01:37:03,440
him upset he'd be very very angry and

2537
01:37:07,750 --> 01:37:05,280
start punishing people actually killing

2538
01:37:10,070 --> 01:37:07,760
people so we had to take take very good

2539
01:37:12,149 --> 01:37:10,080
care of the biggest strongest guy you

2540
01:37:14,229 --> 01:37:12,159
know in the clan he turned around he

2541
01:37:16,470 --> 01:37:14,239
said who did that i demand to know you

2542
01:37:17,270 --> 01:37:16,480
know he just in his in his own grunting

2543
01:37:19,270 --> 01:37:17,280
way

2544
01:37:20,790 --> 01:37:19,280
who and and nobody around the campfire

2545
01:37:22,870 --> 01:37:20,800
would admit that they caused the thunder

2546
01:37:25,270 --> 01:37:22,880
and the lightning and then so that he

2547
01:37:27,510 --> 01:37:25,280
went sent his scouts out to other clans

2548
01:37:29,590 --> 01:37:27,520
around and no and finally they realized

2549
01:37:31,990 --> 01:37:29,600
oh none of us have created that

2550
01:37:33,669 --> 01:37:32,000
incredibly scary experience that crack

2551
01:37:35,270 --> 01:37:33,679
of thunder and that's in that lightning

2552
01:37:36,870 --> 01:37:35,280
that started the forest but none of us

2553
01:37:38,790 --> 01:37:36,880
did that

2554
01:37:39,590 --> 01:37:38,800
and that's when the idea of something

2555
01:37:40,870 --> 01:37:39,600
else

2556
01:37:43,910 --> 01:37:40,880
dawned upon

2557
01:37:45,590 --> 01:37:43,920
the just emerging human mind oh there

2558
01:37:47,510 --> 01:37:45,600
must be something else

2559
01:37:49,030 --> 01:37:47,520
if none of us did that

2560
01:37:50,950 --> 01:37:49,040
then there's something else that's more

2561
01:37:53,430 --> 01:37:50,960
powerful than we are

2562
01:37:55,669 --> 01:37:53,440
and so the nature gods the so-called

2563
01:37:57,910 --> 01:37:55,679
nature gods what became the nature gods

2564
01:37:59,990 --> 01:37:57,920
the idea of that was developed in the

2565
01:38:02,790 --> 01:38:00,000
primitive mind of man

2566
01:38:04,470 --> 01:38:02,800
god of the harvest god of the rain god

2567
01:38:06,310 --> 01:38:04,480
of this and god of that

2568
01:38:07,430 --> 01:38:06,320
and you know the evil spirits as well

2569
01:38:08,870 --> 01:38:07,440
that caused the thunder and the

2570
01:38:11,109 --> 01:38:08,880
lightning and the forest fires and the

2571
01:38:13,350 --> 01:38:11,119
earthquakes and all the other activities

2572
01:38:16,070 --> 01:38:13,360
of nature that were not so welcome and

2573
01:38:18,310 --> 01:38:16,080
so he began to think of us down here and

2574
01:38:20,070 --> 01:38:18,320
something else over there and so we

2575
01:38:21,430 --> 01:38:20,080
began to have this idea that we if we

2576
01:38:23,590 --> 01:38:21,440
could just appease if we could just

2577
01:38:25,350 --> 01:38:23,600
treat this other thing that was clearly

2578
01:38:27,830 --> 01:38:25,360
more powerful than us we had no control

2579
01:38:30,470 --> 01:38:27,840
over it but if we could appease it even

2580
01:38:32,470 --> 01:38:30,480
as we appease the head of our clan

2581
01:38:34,149 --> 01:38:32,480
by treating him with whatever pleasured

2582
01:38:37,270 --> 01:38:34,159
him if we could figure out what

2583
01:38:39,189 --> 01:38:37,280
pleasures this other huge huge thing

2584
01:38:41,109 --> 01:38:39,199
that's out there then maybe we can get

2585
01:38:43,189 --> 01:38:41,119
it to do what we want it to do or at

2586
01:38:44,950 --> 01:38:43,199
least not do so much of what we don't

2587
01:38:47,109 --> 01:38:44,960
want it to do

2588
01:38:49,109 --> 01:38:47,119
then along came a drought and it was a

2589
01:38:51,350 --> 01:38:49,119
long drought many many months and the

2590
01:38:53,109 --> 01:38:51,360
food was drying up and the clan was in

2591
01:38:54,870 --> 01:38:53,119
desperate trouble and they didn't know

2592
01:38:56,790 --> 01:38:54,880
what to do they didn't know how to get

2593
01:38:58,550 --> 01:38:56,800
this other thing that was so much larger

2594
01:39:00,870 --> 01:38:58,560
than it to bring the reigns you know

2595
01:39:02,149 --> 01:39:00,880
somehow to do something make it happy do

2596
01:39:03,990 --> 01:39:02,159
what do we have to do to make this thing

2597
01:39:06,149 --> 01:39:04,000
happy so they they threw a little

2598
01:39:07,990 --> 01:39:06,159
campfire party a little campfire

2599
01:39:09,910 --> 01:39:08,000
celebration as they used to do for the

2600
01:39:12,070 --> 01:39:09,920
head of the clan they treated him the

2601
01:39:14,709 --> 01:39:12,080
same way so how do we treat this brute

2602
01:39:16,470 --> 01:39:14,719
in the sky and what do we do make it so

2603
01:39:18,149 --> 01:39:16,480
this you know one person got up and did

2604
01:39:19,430 --> 01:39:18,159
a little dance and he reached over to

2605
01:39:21,270 --> 01:39:19,440
one of the branches of the tree which

2606
01:39:23,189 --> 01:39:21,280
was dying for a lack of water and of

2607
01:39:24,790 --> 01:39:23,199
course it was dry and so he snapped off

2608
01:39:26,390 --> 01:39:24,800
a branch and he started shaking it just

2609
01:39:28,229 --> 01:39:26,400
to do a little dance with it and it made

2610
01:39:30,470 --> 01:39:28,239
a little noise because you know because

2611
01:39:32,229 --> 01:39:30,480
the the leaves were all very dry so he

2612
01:39:35,189 --> 01:39:32,239
made a little rattling sound he did the

2613
01:39:38,790 --> 01:39:35,199
dance and as luck would have it

2614
01:39:41,030 --> 01:39:38,800
as it would happen the reigns came

2615
01:39:41,750 --> 01:39:41,040
in that moment and everyone turned to

2616
01:39:44,550 --> 01:39:41,760
the

2617
01:39:46,070 --> 01:39:44,560
rainmaker which is what he soon became

2618
01:39:48,229 --> 01:39:46,080
called he became the second most

2619
01:39:49,669 --> 01:39:48,239
powerful person in the clan the head of

2620
01:39:51,669 --> 01:39:49,679
the clan and then the rainmaker he

2621
01:39:53,990 --> 01:39:51,679
became the chief priest if you will of

2622
01:39:55,910 --> 01:39:54,000
the clan and whenever they wanted rain

2623
01:39:57,669 --> 01:39:55,920
more rain to come they asked him to do

2624
01:39:59,990 --> 01:39:57,679
his little rain dance and metaphysics

2625
01:40:01,830 --> 01:40:00,000
being what it is if you believe that

2626
01:40:03,830 --> 01:40:01,840
something will occur it will occur

2627
01:40:06,790 --> 01:40:03,840
whether you're primitive or not because

2628
01:40:08,870 --> 01:40:06,800
metaphysics is metaphysics so as it

2629
01:40:13,109 --> 01:40:08,880
turned out three times out of four when

2630
01:40:13,990 --> 01:40:13,119
he did his dance darn if it didn't rain

2631
01:40:15,189 --> 01:40:14,000
thus

2632
01:40:17,189 --> 01:40:15,199
was born

2633
01:40:18,229 --> 01:40:17,199
religion

2634
01:40:20,629 --> 01:40:18,239
do this

2635
01:40:22,550 --> 01:40:20,639
and you get that

2636
01:40:24,390 --> 01:40:22,560
be good little boys and girls

2637
01:40:25,830 --> 01:40:24,400
and you'll get rewarded

2638
01:40:27,270 --> 01:40:25,840
but it was a religion based on

2639
01:40:31,350 --> 01:40:27,280
separation

2640
01:40:34,229 --> 01:40:31,360
god is over here

2641
01:40:35,669 --> 01:40:34,239
and we're over there and never the twain

2642
01:40:37,270 --> 01:40:35,679
shall meet

2643
01:40:39,030 --> 01:40:37,280
and that wouldn't be so bad if the

2644
01:40:41,030 --> 01:40:39,040
separation theology began and ended

2645
01:40:43,270 --> 01:40:41,040
there my dear but it doesn't a

2646
01:40:45,990 --> 01:40:43,280
separation theology creates a separation

2647
01:40:47,270 --> 01:40:46,000
cosmology that is a cosmological way of

2648
01:40:48,629 --> 01:40:47,280
looking at life whether you believe in

2649
01:40:50,229 --> 01:40:48,639
god or not

2650
01:40:52,149 --> 01:40:50,239
that says that everything is separate

2651
01:40:54,149 --> 01:40:52,159
from everything else

2652
01:40:56,629 --> 01:40:54,159
and a separation cosmology creates a

2653
01:40:58,550 --> 01:40:56,639
separation psychology

2654
01:41:00,550 --> 01:40:58,560
individual psychological profiles that

2655
01:41:02,950 --> 01:41:00,560
allow us to feel totally alone and

2656
01:41:05,510 --> 01:41:02,960
lonely in a crowd in a planet that's

2657
01:41:07,109 --> 01:41:05,520
overcrowded and yet we feel still

2658
01:41:09,590 --> 01:41:07,119
totally alone

2659
01:41:11,910 --> 01:41:09,600
and a separation psychology produces a

2660
01:41:12,870 --> 01:41:11,920
separation sociology

2661
01:41:14,550 --> 01:41:12,880
that is

2662
01:41:16,470 --> 01:41:14,560
entire societies that imagine that

2663
01:41:17,350 --> 01:41:16,480
they're separate from each other and by

2664
01:41:19,990 --> 01:41:17,360
the way

2665
01:41:22,629 --> 01:41:20,000
better than each other

2666
01:41:24,790 --> 01:41:22,639
and a separation sociology produces a

2667
01:41:26,310 --> 01:41:24,800
separation pathology

2668
01:41:28,709 --> 01:41:26,320
pathological behaviors of

2669
01:41:30,070 --> 01:41:28,719
self-destruction

2670
01:41:31,350 --> 01:41:30,080
evident from the beginning of human

2671
01:41:33,350 --> 01:41:31,360
history

2672
01:41:36,149 --> 01:41:33,360
so we see then that a separation

2673
01:41:38,550 --> 01:41:36,159
theology creates a separation cosmology

2674
01:41:41,189 --> 01:41:38,560
which creates a separation psychology

2675
01:41:44,950 --> 01:41:41,199
which creates a separation sociology

2676
01:41:47,510 --> 01:41:44,960
which creates a separation pathology

2677
01:41:48,950 --> 01:41:47,520
oh my goodness

2678
01:41:52,229 --> 01:41:48,960
we have a problem

2679
01:41:53,430 --> 01:41:52,239
because we think that we're separate

2680
01:41:55,270 --> 01:41:53,440
from each other

2681
01:41:56,709 --> 01:41:55,280
and we think that we're separate from

2682
01:41:58,629 --> 01:41:56,719
god

2683
01:42:01,669 --> 01:41:58,639
and we are neither

2684
01:42:03,910 --> 01:42:01,679
and so the belief in separation

2685
01:42:05,430 --> 01:42:03,920
is where it all began i'm sorry to give

2686
01:42:06,950 --> 01:42:05,440
you a 14-minute answer to your

2687
01:42:10,229 --> 01:42:06,960
one-minute question

2688
01:42:12,149 --> 01:42:10,239
but it was not a small question

2689
01:42:15,030 --> 01:42:12,159
i like big questions

2690
01:42:17,030 --> 01:42:15,040
when um you know you bring up the point

2691
01:42:19,669 --> 01:42:17,040
about people that contend that god

2692
01:42:20,550 --> 01:42:19,679
doesn't exist then there is the whole

2693
01:42:23,430 --> 01:42:20,560
group

2694
01:42:25,350 --> 01:42:23,440
that believe that god is some

2695
01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:25,360
you know i try to find a politically

2696
01:42:29,510 --> 01:42:27,360
correct way of saying this and so this

2697
01:42:31,669 --> 01:42:29,520
is my more politically correct way you

2698
01:42:32,629 --> 01:42:31,679
know an older gentleman with a white

2699
01:42:33,430 --> 01:42:32,639
beard

2700
01:42:36,390 --> 01:42:33,440
um

2701
01:42:38,629 --> 01:42:36,400
when you think of god and our

2702
01:42:41,350 --> 01:42:38,639
relationship with god and and our

2703
01:42:43,109 --> 01:42:41,360
experience here on earth what is your

2704
01:42:52,629 --> 01:42:43,119
vision of god

2705
01:42:54,149 --> 01:42:52,639
it's it's god's revelation to humanity

2706
01:42:57,350 --> 01:42:54,159
and god has made it very clear in

2707
01:42:59,750 --> 01:42:57,360
revelation after revelation

2708
01:43:01,270 --> 01:42:59,760
through century after century and in

2709
01:43:04,310 --> 01:43:01,280
more recent times

2710
01:43:07,189 --> 01:43:04,320
in contemporary revelations as well by

2711
01:43:09,430 --> 01:43:07,199
the way god does reveal itself

2712
01:43:11,590 --> 01:43:09,440
even in contemporary times god hasn't

2713
01:43:12,470 --> 01:43:11,600
stopped talking to humanity

2714
01:43:17,510 --> 01:43:12,480
as

2715
01:43:19,270 --> 01:43:17,520
like for instance the pope who said you

2716
01:43:20,310 --> 01:43:19,280
know what he said about limbo doesn't

2717
01:43:21,750 --> 01:43:20,320
exist

2718
01:43:23,830 --> 01:43:21,760
a revelation

2719
01:43:25,350 --> 01:43:23,840
like the leaders of the mormon church

2720
01:43:27,910 --> 01:43:25,360
it's okay for black men to become

2721
01:43:29,830 --> 01:43:27,920
priests a revelation so revelations

2722
01:43:31,430 --> 01:43:29,840
occur in human history right up to the

2723
01:43:33,590 --> 01:43:31,440
present time

2724
01:43:35,350 --> 01:43:33,600
so the answer to your question is not

2725
01:43:37,030 --> 01:43:35,360
what i think that god is or what i think

2726
01:43:38,709 --> 01:43:37,040
our relationship is to god but what god

2727
01:43:41,109 --> 01:43:38,719
has revealed to us

2728
01:43:43,830 --> 01:43:41,119
through us and that is this

2729
01:43:45,430 --> 01:43:43,840
god obviously is not an

2730
01:43:47,430 --> 01:43:45,440
older gentleman with a white beard and a

2731
01:43:49,669 --> 01:43:47,440
long white robe sitting someplace on a

2732
01:43:51,750 --> 01:43:49,679
throne in the sky nor does god have any

2733
01:43:52,470 --> 01:43:51,760
gender in particular one gender or the

2734
01:43:54,950 --> 01:43:52,480
other

2735
01:43:57,030 --> 01:43:54,960
god is the essential essence

2736
01:43:59,270 --> 01:43:57,040
the prime force

2737
01:44:01,669 --> 01:43:59,280
the ultimate source of wisdom and

2738
01:44:04,229 --> 01:44:01,679
intelligence awareness and consciousness

2739
01:44:05,430 --> 01:44:04,239
god is a an energy if you please that

2740
01:44:09,109 --> 01:44:05,440
can take

2741
01:44:11,830 --> 01:44:09,119
any form it wishes to take and will

2742
01:44:15,030 --> 01:44:11,840
and will take any form that it seeks to

2743
01:44:17,669 --> 01:44:15,040
take as a means of revealing itself to

2744
01:44:20,229 --> 01:44:17,679
its own creations

2745
01:44:22,149 --> 01:44:20,239
so god will appear in one form or

2746
01:44:24,629 --> 01:44:22,159
another in whatever form it feels that

2747
01:44:27,430 --> 01:44:24,639
the creations that it has produced can

2748
01:44:30,629 --> 01:44:27,440
understand at that point at that level

2749
01:44:32,629 --> 01:44:30,639
in their evolutionary progress

2750
01:44:34,790 --> 01:44:32,639
but god is essentially

2751
01:44:36,870 --> 01:44:34,800
a foundational energy if i could put it

2752
01:44:39,430 --> 01:44:36,880
this way the stem cell of the universe

2753
01:44:41,990 --> 01:44:39,440
we've discovered just in recent times a

2754
01:44:44,229 --> 01:44:42,000
thing called a stem cell and we noticed

2755
01:44:46,950 --> 01:44:44,239
then that all the cells of the body

2756
01:44:50,229 --> 01:44:46,960
emerged at one at one point in time from

2757
01:44:52,229 --> 01:44:50,239
a single stem cell and the stem cell is

2758
01:44:55,030 --> 01:44:52,239
the undifferentiated

2759
01:44:56,629 --> 01:44:55,040
cellular structure of the human body and

2760
01:45:00,229 --> 01:44:56,639
now they've taken stem cells and they

2761
01:45:03,270 --> 01:45:00,239
can coax those cells in a laboratory to

2762
01:45:05,750 --> 01:45:03,280
regenerate themselves in the form of

2763
01:45:07,910 --> 01:45:05,760
brain cells heart cells lung cells or

2764
01:45:10,470 --> 01:45:07,920
the cells of any tissue in the body this

2765
01:45:12,470 --> 01:45:10,480
is called biomedicine now in the next 35

2766
01:45:14,470 --> 01:45:12,480
or 40 years talk about the future we're

2767
01:45:17,030 --> 01:45:14,480
going to be able to actually recreate

2768
01:45:19,270 --> 01:45:17,040
these stem cells and inject them into

2769
01:45:21,189 --> 01:45:19,280
the heart or the or the lung or any area

2770
01:45:23,590 --> 01:45:21,199
of the body that is that is has been

2771
01:45:25,750 --> 01:45:23,600
diseased and and give it healthy new

2772
01:45:27,669 --> 01:45:25,760
cells and regenerate themselves

2773
01:45:30,070 --> 01:45:27,679
to the point where our life lifespans

2774
01:45:32,310 --> 01:45:30,080
will increase by many many many many

2775
01:45:34,229 --> 01:45:32,320
years in fact sooner or later if we

2776
01:45:36,550 --> 01:45:34,239
don't kill ourselves in other ways we

2777
01:45:38,390 --> 01:45:36,560
don't just completely destroy the planet

2778
01:45:40,550 --> 01:45:38,400
the human species will have the option

2779
01:45:42,149 --> 01:45:40,560
of dying when it chooses to

2780
01:45:44,550 --> 01:45:42,159
and not what it feels it has to because

2781
01:45:46,790 --> 01:45:44,560
of dis-ease that's another whole topic

2782
01:45:48,629 --> 01:45:46,800
so but imagine that god would be to use

2783
01:45:50,270 --> 01:45:48,639
our imagination the stem cell of the

2784
01:45:52,790 --> 01:45:50,280
universe that is the

2785
01:45:55,430 --> 01:45:52,800
undifferentiated expression the

2786
01:45:58,470 --> 01:45:55,440
undifferentiated singular energy of life

2787
01:46:01,189 --> 01:45:58,480
that then differentiates itself quite

2788
01:46:02,629 --> 01:46:01,199
consciously and with full awareness

2789
01:46:04,629 --> 01:46:02,639
to become everything we see in

2790
01:46:06,870 --> 01:46:04,639
physicality

2791
01:46:08,790 --> 01:46:06,880
every planet every sun

2792
01:46:11,030 --> 01:46:08,800
every person every being

2793
01:46:12,390 --> 01:46:11,040
every expression of divinity through

2794
01:46:14,950 --> 01:46:12,400
physicality

2795
01:46:16,709 --> 01:46:14,960
so then we see that what is god

2796
01:46:18,790 --> 01:46:16,719
is better answered by asking the

2797
01:46:21,430 --> 01:46:18,800
question what is god not

2798
01:46:23,189 --> 01:46:21,440
and the answer to that question is

2799
01:46:28,390 --> 01:46:23,199
nothing

2800
01:46:30,470 --> 01:46:28,400
put it now in the reverse god is all

2801
01:46:33,430 --> 01:46:30,480
there is all there ever was all there is

2802
01:46:35,910 --> 01:46:33,440
now and all there ever will be

2803
01:46:36,790 --> 01:46:35,920
or as the catholic church has it and by

2804
01:46:38,550 --> 01:46:36,800
the way

2805
01:46:40,310 --> 01:46:38,560
churches are not totally and completely

2806
01:46:41,590 --> 01:46:40,320
wrong i'm not standing here saying for

2807
01:46:43,189 --> 01:46:41,600
one minute that

2808
01:46:45,270 --> 01:46:43,199
that organized religions don't have

2809
01:46:47,430 --> 01:46:45,280
anything right they do in fact have a

2810
01:46:48,709 --> 01:46:47,440
great deal of it right they simply are

2811
01:46:50,470 --> 01:46:48,719
incomplete

2812
01:46:52,790 --> 01:46:50,480
but i love the catholic church statement

2813
01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:52,800
on this on this particular aspect of who

2814
01:46:57,109 --> 01:46:54,960
and what god is

2815
01:46:59,270 --> 01:46:57,119
the essential energy the prime force the

2816
01:47:02,709 --> 01:46:59,280
stem cell of the universe as it was in

2817
01:47:04,709 --> 01:47:02,719
the beginning is now and ever shall be

2818
01:47:06,310 --> 01:47:04,719
world without end

2819
01:47:10,550 --> 01:47:06,320
amen

2820
01:47:12,950 --> 01:47:10,560
you're talking about people receiving

2821
01:47:14,550 --> 01:47:12,960
revelations from god which i i do

2822
01:47:16,550 --> 01:47:14,560
believe firmly

2823
01:47:18,709 --> 01:47:16,560
um

2824
01:47:21,590 --> 01:47:18,719
but it seems like you know you were

2825
01:47:24,470 --> 01:47:21,600
talking about like sharia law which

2826
01:47:26,229 --> 01:47:24,480
it was divinely given and we look at

2827
01:47:28,790 --> 01:47:26,239
some of these other cultures especially

2828
01:47:31,109 --> 01:47:28,800
ones we're having conflict with

2829
01:47:32,950 --> 01:47:31,119
it seems like the revelations that

2830
01:47:37,590 --> 01:47:32,960
they're receiving

2831
01:47:39,830 --> 01:47:37,600
are not congruent with the ones that we

2832
01:47:41,830 --> 01:47:39,840
have or we're receiving or

2833
01:47:44,870 --> 01:47:41,840
do you see where i'm going with that

2834
01:47:47,990 --> 01:47:44,880
yeah like the 300 years of the christian

2835
01:47:50,390 --> 01:47:48,000
spell that c-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n

2836
01:47:53,270 --> 01:47:50,400
christian crusades

2837
01:47:55,270 --> 01:47:53,280
300 years

2838
01:47:57,750 --> 01:47:55,280
directed by the pope who sent the

2839
01:47:59,189 --> 01:47:57,760
crusaders out and said you will tell

2840
01:48:01,510 --> 01:47:59,199
people they have the option of either

2841
01:48:03,189 --> 01:48:01,520
confessing in christ or being killed on

2842
01:48:11,189 --> 01:48:03,199
the spot

2843
01:48:13,030 --> 01:48:11,199
and this went on for 300 years

2844
01:48:15,270 --> 01:48:13,040
creating an understandable tradition of

2845
01:48:16,709 --> 01:48:15,280
hatred angst and anxiety among other

2846
01:48:19,189 --> 01:48:16,719
peoples of the earth not the least of

2847
01:48:20,870 --> 01:48:19,199
whom belong to the islamic religion

2848
01:48:24,390 --> 01:48:20,880
who say that you know what

2849
01:48:27,990 --> 01:48:26,310
however even they didn't start it's not

2850
01:48:29,750 --> 01:48:28,000
a question who's at fault i just want to

2851
01:48:31,510 --> 01:48:29,760
be real clear here this is not about

2852
01:48:33,510 --> 01:48:31,520
just people who believe in one

2853
01:48:35,030 --> 01:48:33,520
particular way and we're going to

2854
01:48:37,910 --> 01:48:35,040
suddenly make that

2855
01:48:40,149 --> 01:48:37,920
those guys the bad guys

2856
01:48:42,070 --> 01:48:40,159
there are enough people

2857
01:48:44,390 --> 01:48:42,080
in of other faiths as well who've

2858
01:48:46,229 --> 01:48:44,400
committed the exact same uh

2859
01:48:47,830 --> 01:48:46,239
i'm going to use the word offense

2860
01:48:50,070 --> 01:48:47,840
against humanity

2861
01:48:52,229 --> 01:48:50,080
and it's going on today

2862
01:48:55,030 --> 01:48:52,239
going on even today

2863
01:48:57,109 --> 01:48:55,040
so yes there are belief systems both

2864
01:48:58,310 --> 01:48:57,119
christian and islamic and others for

2865
01:49:01,270 --> 01:48:58,320
that matter

2866
01:49:03,109 --> 01:49:01,280
that uh are violate what we understand

2867
01:49:06,870 --> 01:49:03,119
to be our intuitive sense our

2868
01:49:08,629 --> 01:49:06,880
deep-seated cellular understanding

2869
01:49:10,550 --> 01:49:08,639
of who we really are i'm not even going

2870
01:49:12,149 --> 01:49:10,560
to say of what's right and wrong

2871
01:49:14,229 --> 01:49:12,159
because right and wrong our removable

2872
01:49:16,229 --> 01:49:14,239
feast but of who we really are and what

2873
01:49:18,310 --> 01:49:16,239
it really means to be and to express and

2874
01:49:20,550 --> 01:49:18,320
to experience divinity

2875
01:49:23,030 --> 01:49:20,560
flowing in us through us and as us and

2876
01:49:24,550 --> 01:49:23,040
clearly it can't be divine

2877
01:49:25,830 --> 01:49:24,560
to kill people because they disagree

2878
01:49:27,590 --> 01:49:25,840
with us

2879
01:49:30,709 --> 01:49:27,600
or to use violence

2880
01:49:32,070 --> 01:49:30,719
as a means of advancing a particular

2881
01:49:34,149 --> 01:49:32,080
spiritual

2882
01:49:36,470 --> 01:49:34,159
concept

2883
01:49:37,750 --> 01:49:36,480
or philosophy

2884
01:49:39,910 --> 01:49:37,760
so yes

2885
01:49:40,950 --> 01:49:39,920
there is a divergence because of our

2886
01:49:42,470 --> 01:49:40,960
youth

2887
01:49:44,229 --> 01:49:42,480
because we simply

2888
01:49:47,030 --> 01:49:44,239
don't understand

2889
01:49:49,830 --> 01:49:47,040
fundamental basics of

2890
01:49:52,950 --> 01:49:49,840
what is really true in the universe we

2891
01:49:54,550 --> 01:49:52,960
still believe in a separation theology

2892
01:49:57,830 --> 01:49:54,560
we still believe in a god who is

2893
01:50:00,310 --> 01:49:57,840
vengeful and wrathful and violent

2894
01:50:03,030 --> 01:50:00,320
and we allow our idea of a punishing

2895
01:50:05,510 --> 01:50:03,040
violent vile a violent a condemning god

2896
01:50:08,470 --> 01:50:05,520
we allow our ideas of that kind of god

2897
01:50:12,229 --> 01:50:08,480
to form and to form and to cr give us

2898
01:50:15,189 --> 01:50:12,239
the moral authority for us to form

2899
01:50:17,430 --> 01:50:15,199
our concepts of right and wrong and our

2900
01:50:20,070 --> 01:50:17,440
behaviors getting back to the wonderful

2901
01:50:22,790 --> 01:50:20,080
state of texas where they kill 550

2902
01:50:24,390 --> 01:50:22,800
people a year in the death penalty

2903
01:50:27,030 --> 01:50:24,400
and when you say well how how can a

2904
01:50:29,830 --> 01:50:27,040
civilized society do that i mean

2905
01:50:32,149 --> 01:50:29,840
how can a a group of sentient beings who

2906
01:50:34,149 --> 01:50:32,159
imagine themselves to be civilized kill

2907
01:50:35,750 --> 01:50:34,159
people deliberately as a means of saying

2908
01:50:38,629 --> 01:50:35,760
that killing people deliberately isn't

2909
01:50:40,790 --> 01:50:38,639
okay and they answer well the scriptures

2910
01:50:44,470 --> 01:50:40,800
have it an eye for an eye and a tooth

2911
01:50:46,390 --> 01:50:44,480
for a tooth it's simple justice

2912
01:50:49,030 --> 01:50:46,400
you just obviously haven't really spent

2913
01:50:51,750 --> 01:50:49,040
much time in texas

2914
01:50:54,310 --> 01:50:51,760
i live in texas so just um

2915
01:50:55,750 --> 01:50:54,320
just making a comment anyway

2916
01:50:59,030 --> 01:50:55,760
move along

2917
01:51:01,189 --> 01:50:59,040
actually we have about 10 minutes left

2918
01:51:03,910 --> 01:51:01,199
and i want to give you an opportunity to

2919
01:51:05,990 --> 01:51:03,920
kind of bring this full circle with the

2920
01:51:07,590 --> 01:51:06,000
little bit of time we have left sure i

2921
01:51:09,430 --> 01:51:07,600
just want to just the last comment is

2922
01:51:11,830 --> 01:51:09,440
going to make us our ideas of justice

2923
01:51:13,590 --> 01:51:11,840
are based on what we imagine god's ideas

2924
01:51:15,750 --> 01:51:13,600
of justice to be that's the point i was

2925
01:51:18,550 --> 01:51:15,760
making and as long as we imagine that

2926
01:51:19,910 --> 01:51:18,560
god lives within a system of justice

2927
01:51:21,109 --> 01:51:19,920
where things are right and things are

2928
01:51:22,709 --> 01:51:21,119
wrong and if you do the wrong thing

2929
01:51:25,669 --> 01:51:22,719
you're punished

2930
01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:25,679
and and we imagine that god has a need

2931
01:51:29,830 --> 01:51:28,320
to somehow ego need to do that or some

2932
01:51:31,910 --> 01:51:29,840
other need to do that that god has

2933
01:51:33,990 --> 01:51:31,920
somehow a need to send you to hell

2934
01:51:35,510 --> 01:51:34,000
because you simply confessed in the

2935
01:51:37,589 --> 01:51:35,520
wrong religion

2936
01:51:40,229 --> 01:51:37,599
as long as we hold that belief we're

2937
01:51:42,470 --> 01:51:40,239
going to use that idea of a punishing

2938
01:51:45,750 --> 01:51:42,480
violent vindictive angry god

2939
01:51:48,550 --> 01:51:45,760
as our moral authority for us to be

2940
01:51:49,589 --> 01:51:48,560
violent punishing vindictive and angry

2941
01:51:52,149 --> 01:51:49,599
as well

2942
01:51:53,750 --> 01:51:52,159
so we remove the first belief and the

2943
01:51:56,870 --> 01:51:53,760
second behaviors

2944
01:51:59,430 --> 01:51:56,880
begin to dissolve

2945
01:52:01,030 --> 01:51:59,440
well that leads us into this question

2946
01:52:04,470 --> 01:52:01,040
what do you think the world would be

2947
01:52:06,870 --> 01:52:04,480
like if we let go of this

2948
01:52:09,750 --> 01:52:06,880
long-term negative programming that we

2949
01:52:11,510 --> 01:52:09,760
have found ourselves stuck in

2950
01:52:14,550 --> 01:52:11,520
we would have

2951
01:52:16,709 --> 01:52:14,560
the thousand years of peace and more

2952
01:52:19,430 --> 01:52:16,719
that has been long been predicted for

2953
01:52:21,669 --> 01:52:19,440
the human race what would happen is

2954
01:52:24,070 --> 01:52:21,679
obviously first of all violence would

2955
01:52:25,830 --> 01:52:24,080
disappear from the face of the earth

2956
01:52:28,229 --> 01:52:25,840
we could no longer be violent with each

2957
01:52:30,390 --> 01:52:28,239
other because we have now embraced a

2958
01:52:32,470 --> 01:52:30,400
notion that we are all one

2959
01:52:34,070 --> 01:52:32,480
that what i do for you i do for me this

2960
01:52:36,390 --> 01:52:34,080
goes way past by the way you are your

2961
01:52:38,629 --> 01:52:36,400
brother's keeper this is not a fancy

2962
01:52:40,950 --> 01:52:38,639
version of your your brother's keeper i

2963
01:52:41,830 --> 01:52:40,960
am not my brother's keeper i am my

2964
01:52:43,750 --> 01:52:41,840
brother

2965
01:52:46,390 --> 01:52:43,760
that is there's no difference

2966
01:52:48,790 --> 01:52:46,400
except in differentiation between him

2967
01:52:49,830 --> 01:52:48,800
and me any more than my fingers

2968
01:52:52,070 --> 01:52:49,840
are

2969
01:52:53,910 --> 01:52:52,080
not part of my own body

2970
01:52:54,709 --> 01:52:53,920
see i got five fingers as i look at my

2971
01:52:56,629 --> 01:52:54,719
hand

2972
01:52:58,550 --> 01:52:56,639
and each finger looks different and

2973
01:53:01,270 --> 01:52:58,560
performs a different function but it is

2974
01:53:03,750 --> 01:53:01,280
still attached to and part of the hand

2975
01:53:05,750 --> 01:53:03,760
which is attached to and part of my body

2976
01:53:08,070 --> 01:53:05,760
in that way are we connected to each

2977
01:53:09,510 --> 01:53:08,080
other as well appearing to be different

2978
01:53:12,070 --> 01:53:09,520
and functioning in fact in different

2979
01:53:13,109 --> 01:53:12,080
ways but no less part of the singular

2980
01:53:15,109 --> 01:53:13,119
body

2981
01:53:18,070 --> 01:53:15,119
of life itself that we call in my

2982
01:53:19,589 --> 01:53:18,080
vernacular god if we begin to embrace

2983
01:53:21,990 --> 01:53:19,599
that notion

2984
01:53:24,629 --> 01:53:22,000
all of the behaviors that we would never

2985
01:53:26,709 --> 01:53:24,639
never ever perform never ever

2986
01:53:29,189 --> 01:53:26,719
behave that way with people with

2987
01:53:31,669 --> 01:53:29,199
ourselves we would we would in fact

2988
01:53:33,750 --> 01:53:31,679
treat ourselves

2989
01:53:35,589 --> 01:53:33,760
differently as well

2990
01:53:37,830 --> 01:53:35,599
we would treat ourselves far better than

2991
01:53:40,550 --> 01:53:37,840
we do now and we would treat others as

2992
01:53:41,910 --> 01:53:40,560
we treat ourselves

2993
01:53:43,350 --> 01:53:41,920
you know you know it's what's

2994
01:53:44,709 --> 01:53:43,360
interesting is that

2995
01:53:47,430 --> 01:53:44,719
the

2996
01:53:49,589 --> 01:53:47,440
religions doesn't matter which one you

2997
01:53:52,470 --> 01:53:49,599
choose they've all articulated in one

2998
01:53:54,629 --> 01:53:52,480
way or another the same bottom line

2999
01:53:55,990 --> 01:53:54,639
truth the answer out of this maze the

3000
01:53:58,070 --> 01:53:56,000
way to get out of this incredible

3001
01:54:01,109 --> 01:53:58,080
dilemma is really quite simple you can

3002
01:54:03,270 --> 01:54:01,119
put it in one sentence actually

3003
01:54:12,229 --> 01:54:03,280
do unto others

3004
01:54:13,750 --> 01:54:12,239
being done unto you in case we haven't

3005
01:54:15,189 --> 01:54:13,760
noticed

3006
01:54:17,910 --> 01:54:15,199
and the reason that what you do unto

3007
01:54:21,030 --> 01:54:17,920
others is being done unto you is because

3008
01:54:25,270 --> 01:54:23,270
we are a single being

3009
01:54:27,189 --> 01:54:25,280
demonstrating and expressing as

3010
01:54:30,149 --> 01:54:27,199
individuations

3011
01:54:32,470 --> 01:54:30,159
of the self-same single being

3012
01:54:34,629 --> 01:54:32,480
so what would happen if the earth chose

3013
01:54:36,390 --> 01:54:34,639
finally to let go of its idea of

3014
01:54:38,470 --> 01:54:36,400
separation

3015
01:54:40,070 --> 01:54:38,480
and to notice that we all are fingers on

3016
01:54:42,709 --> 01:54:40,080
the same hand

3017
01:54:45,109 --> 01:54:42,719
and we all our hands of the same being

3018
01:54:47,669 --> 01:54:45,119
called god what would happen is

3019
01:54:48,790 --> 01:54:47,679
all of the laws the customs and the

3020
01:54:50,709 --> 01:54:48,800
behaviors

3021
01:54:52,390 --> 01:54:50,719
that could only emerge

3022
01:54:53,990 --> 01:54:52,400
from a society that imagines themselves

3023
01:54:56,790 --> 01:54:54,000
to be separate from each other would

3024
01:54:58,310 --> 01:54:56,800
disappear virtually overnight

3025
01:55:01,350 --> 01:54:58,320
we would never treat another person

3026
01:55:06,390 --> 01:55:01,360
unfairly to say nothing of cruelty to

3027
01:55:09,830 --> 01:55:07,910
we would find a way to make sure that we

3028
01:55:11,629 --> 01:55:09,840
all understood that there's enough

3029
01:55:15,030 --> 01:55:11,639
we would never allow

3030
01:55:16,070 --> 01:55:15,040
653 children to die on this planet

3031
01:55:16,950 --> 01:55:16,080
every

3032
01:55:22,310 --> 01:55:16,960
hour

3033
01:55:24,470 --> 01:55:22,320
of starvation

3034
01:55:25,990 --> 01:55:24,480
while we throw away more food in the

3035
01:55:27,350 --> 01:55:26,000
restaurants of new york city on any

3036
01:55:29,669 --> 01:55:27,360
given night than it would take to feed

3037
01:55:32,390 --> 01:55:29,679
them for a week

3038
01:55:34,870 --> 01:55:32,400
oh don't even get me started on that

3039
01:55:37,510 --> 01:55:34,880
i can't believe that there are places

3040
01:55:40,870 --> 01:55:37,520
that will throw the food away

3041
01:55:43,350 --> 01:55:40,880
and not give it to

3042
01:55:47,350 --> 01:55:43,360
a shelter or

3043
01:55:49,750 --> 01:55:47,360
let people have it and and

3044
01:55:51,750 --> 01:55:49,760
i i find it always because there are

3045
01:55:53,350 --> 01:55:51,760
health laws my dear and if somebody got

3046
01:55:54,550 --> 01:55:53,360
sick off of eating someone else's

3047
01:55:56,229 --> 01:55:54,560
leftovers

3048
01:55:57,830 --> 01:55:56,239
they would then be able to sue the

3049
01:55:59,270 --> 01:55:57,840
restaurant so we have to protect the

3050
01:56:01,510 --> 01:55:59,280
owners of the restaurant and make sure

3051
01:56:04,149 --> 01:56:01,520
that nobody loses any money in a lawsuit

3052
01:56:05,910 --> 01:56:04,159
like that i know i was homeless i was

3053
01:56:07,750 --> 01:56:05,920
homeless for a year i walked the streets

3054
01:56:09,589 --> 01:56:07,760
for a year i understand what it's like

3055
01:56:11,669 --> 01:56:09,599
to be on the sidewalk for a year of your

3056
01:56:12,790 --> 01:56:11,679
life looking for your next meal trying

3057
01:56:15,510 --> 01:56:12,800
to figure out where it could come from

3058
01:56:17,030 --> 01:56:15,520
and we had thank goodness we had a

3059
01:56:18,870 --> 01:56:17,040
kitchen worker at one of the local

3060
01:56:20,310 --> 01:56:18,880
restaurants where i lived who understood

3061
01:56:22,870 --> 01:56:20,320
exactly what you're saying and he would

3062
01:56:24,550 --> 01:56:22,880
sneak the food out the leftover food

3063
01:56:26,709 --> 01:56:24,560
that people didn't eat he would just

3064
01:56:28,470 --> 01:56:26,719
sneak it out to the back door to the

3065
01:56:31,109 --> 01:56:28,480
homeless and i was one of them

3066
01:56:33,270 --> 01:56:31,119
and feed us and say not a word guys not

3067
01:56:35,990 --> 01:56:33,280
a word and if you do get a stomach ache

3068
01:56:39,430 --> 01:56:36,000
or you do happen to become ill over this

3069
01:56:42,629 --> 01:56:39,440
for heaven's sake just not a word

3070
01:56:45,350 --> 01:56:42,639
don't tell anybody i'm doing this

3071
01:56:46,950 --> 01:56:45,360
but we all lined up at from 10 o'clock

3072
01:56:49,669 --> 01:56:46,960
till 11 o'clock at night behind that

3073
01:56:52,229 --> 01:56:49,679
guy's restaurant and out he came with

3074
01:56:53,910 --> 01:56:52,239
the dishes of the stuff

3075
01:56:56,390 --> 01:56:53,920
because you know

3076
01:56:58,870 --> 01:56:56,400
but when when when we understand that we

3077
01:57:01,350 --> 01:56:58,880
are all one we would never allow 650

3078
01:57:03,589 --> 01:57:01,360
children to die every single 60 minutes

3079
01:57:05,109 --> 01:57:03,599
on this planet for insufficient food to

3080
01:57:06,870 --> 01:57:05,119
talk about just one of the many

3081
01:57:09,109 --> 01:57:06,880
conditions that would no longer exist on

3082
01:57:12,390 --> 01:57:09,119
the planet we would in fact create the

3083
01:57:14,709 --> 01:57:12,400
paradise of which we are capable once we

3084
01:57:17,030 --> 01:57:14,719
understand fully who we are that's why i

3085
01:57:19,910 --> 01:57:17,040
invite people to read the book

3086
01:57:22,790 --> 01:57:19,920
god's message to the world you've got me

3087
01:57:26,470 --> 01:57:24,709
and by the way you can read five

3088
01:57:28,790 --> 01:57:26,480
chapters of it for free i've got it on

3089
01:57:31,350 --> 01:57:28,800
the internet a five chapter sample of

3090
01:57:34,470 --> 01:57:31,360
the book you can get it at god's message

3091
01:57:41,350 --> 01:57:34,480
to the world dot info

3092
01:57:44,149 --> 01:57:41,360
i think people don't understand like in

3093
01:57:47,030 --> 01:57:44,159
a marriage or in a family everyone that

3094
01:57:50,310 --> 01:57:47,040
that works you know that works

3095
01:57:53,750 --> 01:57:50,320
in the dynamics that everyone chips in

3096
01:57:56,310 --> 01:57:53,760
and does things to benefit

3097
01:57:58,629 --> 01:57:56,320
the relationship or benefit the family

3098
01:58:00,629 --> 01:57:58,639
so that they all can grow

3099
01:58:02,550 --> 01:58:00,639
versus well this is your thing and this

3100
01:58:04,390 --> 01:58:02,560
is my thing and and keeping it all

3101
01:58:07,430 --> 01:58:04,400
separate and those are the families that

3102
01:58:09,430 --> 01:58:07,440
fall apart

3103
01:58:11,669 --> 01:58:09,440
if we understood that the whole human

3104
01:58:14,149 --> 01:58:11,679
family was one family even as we

3105
01:58:15,669 --> 01:58:14,159
understand that in their own lives

3106
01:58:17,589 --> 01:58:15,679
most of us do

3107
01:58:19,430 --> 01:58:17,599
everything would change overnight

3108
01:58:21,510 --> 01:58:19,440
if you're having a big holiday meal and

3109
01:58:23,030 --> 01:58:21,520
uncle jim shows up at the front door

3110
01:58:24,709 --> 01:58:23,040
he's been gone to new zealand for 10

3111
01:58:26,470 --> 01:58:24,719
years on his own adventure he came back

3112
01:58:28,149 --> 01:58:26,480
and realized oh this is the day that

3113
01:58:29,589 --> 01:58:28,159
they have their annual feast and he

3114
01:58:31,030 --> 01:58:29,599
comes to the front door uncle jim we

3115
01:58:33,189 --> 01:58:31,040
haven't seen you in five years have you

3116
01:58:35,750 --> 01:58:33,199
been i'm wonderful may i come in to eat

3117
01:58:37,109 --> 01:58:35,760
no sorry you got to stay out there maybe

3118
01:58:39,430 --> 01:58:37,119
we'll throw maybe we'll throw some

3119
01:58:41,430 --> 01:58:39,440
scraps at you of course not we let him

3120
01:58:43,990 --> 01:58:41,440
in immediately because he's long lost

3121
01:58:45,750 --> 01:58:44,000
uncle jim of course and nobody says we

3122
01:58:48,310 --> 01:58:45,760
didn't prepare enough we didn't we

3123
01:58:50,550 --> 01:58:48,320
simply share enough in a way that allows

3124
01:58:52,310 --> 01:58:50,560
uncle jim to sit down with us

3125
01:58:54,790 --> 01:58:52,320
there's always enough

3126
01:58:56,870 --> 01:58:54,800
always enough we simply each find a way

3127
