1
00:00:12,419 --> 00:00:07,530
how to start this

2
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:12,429
I forgot I have a complicated name so my

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:16,150
name is Minori so when I think I'm an

4
00:00:22,859 --> 00:00:18,730
architect and a designer based in Los

5
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:22,869
Angeles California and I worked on this

6
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:24,400
topic with my partner

7
00:00:35,970 --> 00:00:28,660
Nelson Abreu he is an engineer so just

8
00:00:38,279 --> 00:00:35,980
to establish a context so for the past

9
00:00:40,349 --> 00:00:38,289
20 years or so I've been really

10
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:40,359
interested in and fascinated about

11
00:00:45,959 --> 00:00:42,850
finding out what's the relationship we

12
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:45,969
have with beauty our design and

13
00:00:54,899 --> 00:00:52,809
technology um and for me it's about

14
00:00:58,619 --> 00:00:54,909
trying to understand the world that we

15
00:01:02,939 --> 00:00:58,629
live in but also then figuring out how

16
00:01:05,369 --> 00:01:02,949
to apply it in a sense that we live in a

17
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:05,379
world that has a lot of challenges and I

18
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:07,060
feel like we all have a personal

19
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:10,060
responsibility to contribute in any way

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:13,630
we can and I figured what's the best way

21
00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:16,690
to do that is to figure out what's your

22
00:01:19,740 --> 00:01:18,220
place in the world and I have really

23
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:19,750
been interested in design and

24
00:01:25,710 --> 00:01:23,200
architecture since I was a kid and it

25
00:01:29,550 --> 00:01:25,720
was important for me to realize or

26
00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:29,560
figure out if that passion was just a

27
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:31,120
passion but if we could also do

28
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:36,850
something with it so in finding answers

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:43,330
for this question I've come up with um

30
00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:47,170
some ideas and I want to share with you

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:50,500
today about design and technology's

32
00:01:57,810 --> 00:01:54,850
impact on the consciousness and how we

33
00:02:02,100 --> 00:01:57,820
can use that as a tool to improve our

34
00:02:08,029 --> 00:02:02,110
well being but I want to start talking

35
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:08,039
to you by talking to our being and being

36
00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:10,929
anybody who's taken some philosophy

37
00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:13,420
classes probably is a little familiar

38
00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:17,900
with this concept my interested in

39
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:21,140
interesting beings come from being and

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:24,590
being comes from trying to understand

41
00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:31,250
the world around us so what is being and

42
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:35,540
what are beings so as you can see

43
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:39,760
everything around us all of us plants

44
00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:44,209
pets ourselves they all consider to be

45
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:49,340
beings all beings and then being as in

46
00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:52,940
eating sleeping working going to the

47
00:03:01,869 --> 00:02:56,440
park hanging out but existence living

48
00:03:05,410 --> 00:03:01,879
experience and reality are collectively

49
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:05,420
being and being for me is consciousness

50
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:08,690
and phenomena that's everything that we

51
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:10,760
are about and things that we are trying

52
00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:15,170
to study so I had a lot of questions

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:18,470
about being and being and I started out

54
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:22,010
asking some of the big questions about

55
00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:26,780
what's consciousness um who are we what

56
00:03:32,289 --> 00:03:29,269
are we here to do why does the universe

57
00:03:36,339 --> 00:03:32,299
exist and what's the purpose of all of

58
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:36,349
these and if those questions weren't

59
00:03:41,409 --> 00:03:39,200
enough I was asking another layer of

60
00:03:44,409 --> 00:03:41,419
questions and what's our relationship

61
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:44,419
with the belt and more what's the built

62
00:03:52,089 --> 00:03:48,169
environment our houses the buildings

63
00:03:57,309 --> 00:03:52,099
roads parks monuments everything around

64
00:04:01,119 --> 00:03:57,319
us so the questions that I was asking

65
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:01,129
about trying to understand the

66
00:04:05,819 --> 00:04:02,870
relationship with the built environment

67
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:05,829
and aesthetics and beauty and design

68
00:04:10,420 --> 00:04:08,510
some of the questions I'm going to pop

69
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:10,430
them up but I'm not going to read all of

70
00:04:16,719 --> 00:04:12,620
them to you so basic questions like

71
00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:16,729
what's beauty was a function and thus

72
00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:20,150
design have an impact on well-being you

73
00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:22,940
see the the process that I try to

74
00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:25,940
understand a subject is to ask a series

75
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:31,460
of questions this is this is how I think

76
00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:33,950
i it's a technique that I use when I

77
00:04:41,770 --> 00:04:37,100
want to really dig deep into a topic so

78
00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:41,780
I was asking also about what's the

79
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:43,580
relationship with the built environment

80
00:04:51,940 --> 00:04:48,250
what what specific attributes do each

81
00:04:55,630 --> 00:04:51,950
component bring like one shape versus

82
00:04:59,550 --> 00:04:55,640
the other what's the impact of different

83
00:05:05,410 --> 00:04:59,560
materials that we use the color light

84
00:05:09,970 --> 00:05:05,420
texture also what's the impact of

85
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:09,980
technology on being and just that he

86
00:05:15,550 --> 00:05:13,610
plays some kind of role in in the

87
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:15,560
progress you know the development of

88
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:22,660
being so through asking these questions

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:26,410
My partner and I we arrived at a

90
00:05:32,140 --> 00:05:29,810
hypothesis that design and technology in

91
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:32,150
fact do have an impact on the

92
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:34,490
consciousness and that we might be able

93
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:36,770
to use this as a tool to improve

94
00:05:43,150 --> 00:05:39,170
well-being and the progress of the

95
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:43,160
consciousness we think that well-being

96
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:49,090
is at the center of everything that it's

97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:53,210
when you say well-being its you overall

98
00:05:59,830 --> 00:05:57,410
health and happiness and it's not just

99
00:06:04,020 --> 00:05:59,840
you health and happiness but your

100
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:04,030
environments as well and then happiness

101
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:06,890
includes things like like life

102
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:10,400
satisfaction autonomy positive

103
00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:13,430
experiences like your interactions and

104
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:15,590
relationships meaningful relationships

105
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:17,780
that you build with people you expose

106
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:23,210
you to nature your exposure to culture

107
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:29,840
and the arts and even a abnormal

108
00:06:34,750 --> 00:06:32,720
not abnormal sorry that's the wrong word

109
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:34,760
I think extraordinary experiences that

110
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:38,750
we have also purpose and meaning count

111
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:41,720
towards happiness as our relationship

112
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,450
and community and growth and progress

113
00:06:49,750 --> 00:06:47,120
contribute to well-being so now that we

114
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:49,760
sort of establish what well-being stands

115
00:06:59,560 --> 00:06:53,570
for me I want to talk to you a little

116
00:07:03,220 --> 00:06:59,570
bit about what I think is the point of

117
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:03,230
everything that we do at the these

118
00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:05,330
conferences when we try to understand

119
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:08,180
about the consciousness the work that we

120
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:10,250
do the research that goes into things

121
00:07:17,860 --> 00:07:15,050
how do we apply that or what do we do

122
00:07:20,290 --> 00:07:17,870
with it and I think it's to find

123
00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:20,300
applications in improving overall

124
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:22,580
well-being so that we can improve the

125
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:25,730
quality of life of people but also the

126
00:07:34,090 --> 00:07:30,410
surrounding because nobody really exists

127
00:07:36,159 --> 00:07:34,100
in a bubble you know like we all living

128
00:07:41,469 --> 00:07:36,169
in a world we were interconnected to

129
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:41,479
each other and we we don't really grow

130
00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:44,510
alone so if all of us want to grow I

131
00:07:49,450 --> 00:07:46,880
think we should all pay attention to how

132
00:07:56,290 --> 00:07:49,460
we grow as well as our surrounding

133
00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:56,300
improves so um with that said if we want

134
00:08:03,100 --> 00:07:58,970
ourselves to grow we also want our

135
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:03,110
environment to grow and this for me

136
00:08:07,180 --> 00:08:04,910
there's a relationship between the

137
00:08:11,230 --> 00:08:07,190
environment the overall well-being and

138
00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:11,240
the design of the environment let's take

139
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:15,950
a look at that um all of us react a

140
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:20,860
certain way when we come across objects

141
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:24,620
we we react in a certain way towards a

142
00:08:30,969 --> 00:08:26,930
phone about the functionality you know

143
00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:30,979
the colors and the textures the shape

144
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:31,940
and form

145
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:35,510
overall weights organize the materials

146
00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:38,690
use so I want you to take a moment to

147
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:40,640
take a look at these pictures

148
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:44,150
and think how do you react what's your

149
00:08:50,050 --> 00:08:46,790
reaction when you take a look at it now

150
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:50,060
think for a minute about what causes

151
00:08:59,740 --> 00:08:54,260
that reaction is a the colors the

152
00:09:05,410 --> 00:08:59,750
textures the way it's placed so just pay

153
00:09:10,150 --> 00:09:05,420
attention to that and bear with me so in

154
00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:10,160
a place in addition to the colors and

155
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:13,100
the textures and the shapes we also

156
00:09:19,420 --> 00:09:16,490
think about the scale like you the space

157
00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:19,430
that you occupy and the relationship you

158
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:24,100
have to that space light ventilation

159
00:09:34,420 --> 00:09:29,210
composition materials use methods of

160
00:09:37,060 --> 00:09:34,430
construction technology and so on we

161
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:37,070
will take a look at a few pictures how

162
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:43,520
do you react to those environments when

163
00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:45,680
you go to a museum versus when you go to

164
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:50,150
the living room of a art gallery an

165
00:10:00,790 --> 00:09:57,410
intimate space places to contemplate but

166
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:00,800
it can be a public space private space

167
00:10:11,890 --> 00:10:09,110
or even 'inna in a park and you see that

168
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:11,900
when you go to certain places like a

169
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:17,180
church or a sanctuary the the

170
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:19,250
environment that you are in has an

171
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:24,200
impact on how you feel you be in that

172
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:27,920
space so some of the reactions we could

173
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:30,650
get could be things like Oh an

174
00:10:36,070 --> 00:10:34,640
inspiration oh we just want to get out

175
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:36,080
of that place because we just feel

176
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:38,090
something's not right and we feel

177
00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:45,670
agitated and we fear chaos so my

178
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:48,920
question at that point was to understand

179
00:10:54,910 --> 00:10:52,010
what causes that like is it it's not

180
00:10:56,290 --> 00:10:54,920
just the material things so then I

181
00:11:00,280 --> 00:10:56,300
understood there's a second layer of

182
00:11:02,889 --> 00:11:00,290
information there's the shared memories

183
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:02,899
the history and the legacy of a place if

184
00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,000
you think about antiques or things that

185
00:11:12,699 --> 00:11:07,839
have been handed over like hair looms

186
00:11:15,250 --> 00:11:12,709
there are certain history that comes

187
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:15,260
with it it has been passed over for a

188
00:11:23,740 --> 00:11:19,690
while and so on so you know there's

189
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:23,750
anyone from New York there's a place

190
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:26,570
called the High Line in New York it used

191
00:11:35,710 --> 00:11:32,510
to be an abandoned railway line that was

192
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:35,720
then converted into a park and now it's

193
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:38,990
a beautiful urban garden so this place

194
00:11:47,819 --> 00:11:42,170
has history legacy and memories that

195
00:11:56,259 --> 00:11:52,629
but beyond the history and the legacy

196
00:11:58,420 --> 00:11:56,269
and the materials and the colors I think

197
00:12:01,870 --> 00:11:58,430
there are other factors that contribute

198
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:01,880
to how we feel towards design and

199
00:12:09,939 --> 00:12:05,750
objects and places I think there's an

200
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:09,949
impact on what the intentions of not

201
00:12:17,550 --> 00:12:12,680
only the person who designed it but the

202
00:12:21,069 --> 00:12:17,560
person who uses said like you know a

203
00:12:22,090 --> 00:12:21,079
place let's say can be designed for

204
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:22,100
something else

205
00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:25,010
but then people go about and use it in

206
00:12:30,970 --> 00:12:26,990
different ways this is an organic

207
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:30,980
process that happens so in that process

208
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:35,360
we bring our intentions our energy and

209
00:12:40,809 --> 00:12:37,610
thoughts and sentiments to it and I

210
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:40,819
think we should spend a little bit time

211
00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:43,310
thinking about this and trying to

212
00:12:51,100 --> 00:12:46,790
understand how it impacts us as people

213
00:12:52,930 --> 00:12:51,110
as beings who are trying to understand

214
00:12:57,699 --> 00:12:52,940
how to navigate through the world that

215
00:13:03,069 --> 00:12:57,709
we are living in and I think in a place

216
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:03,079
like a church or a museum or even if you

217
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:04,560
go to a place

218
00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:07,230
like a music venue anyway you do a

219
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:09,560
duration you notice that it has

220
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:12,930
something that you can't quite explain

221
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:16,440
other than the energy that it has that

222
00:13:23,019 --> 00:13:19,410
has built over time that people go there

223
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:23,029
to admire and see so this energy

224
00:13:30,019 --> 00:13:25,980
component of it I think plays a huge

225
00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:30,029
role but we don't really talk about it

226
00:13:35,060 --> 00:13:33,540
in design Oh in architecture all that

227
00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:35,070
much and I think it's important to

228
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:40,620
explore that um so like I said and I

229
00:13:47,210 --> 00:13:44,640
think it not only as designers we need

230
00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:47,220
to understand it but I think as users we

231
00:13:51,079 --> 00:13:48,720
need to understand that so we begin to

232
00:13:56,420 --> 00:13:51,089
pay attention to when we go to a place

233
00:14:06,410 --> 00:13:56,430
what we fear might be impacted by these

234
00:14:10,570 --> 00:14:06,420
other components and we should be able

235
00:14:12,829 --> 00:14:10,580
to in this process differentiate and

236
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:12,839
understand what are the physical

237
00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:14,910
attributes like the colors and the

238
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:17,870
textures but also the non physical

239
00:14:25,610 --> 00:14:22,050
attributes like the history and embedded

240
00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:25,620
by the users and the designers like the

241
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:27,720
energy and the intentions in the

242
00:14:38,930 --> 00:14:36,620
so looking at these we thought okay now

243
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:38,940
it's one thing to understand but it's

244
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:42,180
also important to figure out how to find

245
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:44,010
applications as an engineer and an

246
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:47,150
architect that's sort of what we do so

247
00:15:01,280 --> 00:14:55,490
we my husband and I he's my chief

248
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:01,290
culprit in adventures and partner in all

249
00:15:10,190 --> 00:15:06,770
sorts of exploits we will be launching a

250
00:15:11,970 --> 00:15:10,200
studio this summer called gnome escape

251
00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:11,980
studio we will be

252
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:14,470
doing work that occurs at the

253
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:16,510
intersection of design technology and

254
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:20,770
well-being will be doing spaces like

255
00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:22,810
architecture spaces but will be also

256
00:15:31,470 --> 00:15:26,800
doing products and apps it's I've been

257
00:15:34,770 --> 00:15:31,480
trying to do the applications in

258
00:15:36,870 --> 00:15:34,780
architecture projects that I do but I'm

259
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:36,880
not the one who's financing it and I'm

260
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:38,980
not at a financial position to do that

261
00:15:45,930 --> 00:15:42,780
just yet so I have limited control over

262
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:45,940
the extent that I want to go to but we

263
00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:48,430
figured if we start with products of the

264
00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:52,180
smallest scale we could potentially do

265
00:16:02,490 --> 00:15:55,480
some work exploring and trying to

266
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:02,500
understand what we are working on so we

267
00:16:11,340 --> 00:16:06,130
have an app that we are developing right

268
00:16:12,770 --> 00:16:11,350
now it's to help people trained as

269
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:12,780
[Music]

270
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:19,570
trained to do mindfulness mindfulness

271
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:23,290
training and also to have extraordinary

272
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:26,880
experiences because I think these

273
00:16:35,340 --> 00:16:31,390
experiences are natural they're not you

274
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:35,350
know only exclusively for some special

275
00:16:42,930 --> 00:16:38,790
people and I think people can and should

276
00:16:46,470 --> 00:16:42,940
train and be able to harness some of

277
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:46,480
these potential artists so one of the

278
00:16:55,290 --> 00:16:51,400
things I want to emphasize is that the

279
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:55,300
app that we will be working on and sorry

280
00:17:00,810 --> 00:16:57,760
I didn't talk about the two pods we are

281
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:00,820
developing two pods right now also one

282
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:02,650
is a fully enclosed part and the other

283
00:17:10,140 --> 00:17:07,570
one is a semi enclosed part they will be

284
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:10,150
training tools for people to use in

285
00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:11,770
different applications like relaxation

286
00:17:19,620 --> 00:17:15,460
but also impactful experiences

287
00:17:23,190 --> 00:17:19,630
facilitation and stress reduction was

288
00:17:24,679 --> 00:17:23,200
creativity and so on we want to

289
00:17:27,949 --> 00:17:24,689
emphasize that be

290
00:17:30,169 --> 00:17:27,959
we are not trying to use technology as a

291
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:30,179
way to create dependency or create

292
00:17:38,889 --> 00:17:34,250
crutch but we really want to help people

293
00:17:46,009 --> 00:17:38,899
to use this like training rules you know

294
00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:46,019
in to to wrap up this topic I want to

295
00:17:53,659 --> 00:17:51,360
invite everyone here that we found our

296
00:17:56,629 --> 00:17:53,669
passion that something that we really

297
00:17:58,700 --> 00:17:56,639
care about also combine it with what

298
00:18:03,529 --> 00:17:58,710
we're really interested in consciousness

299
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:03,539
science and we feel that we've gotten a

300
00:18:08,629 --> 00:18:06,179
lot of satisfaction in the process of

301
00:18:11,950 --> 00:18:08,639
exploring these topics and I want to

302
00:18:15,019 --> 00:18:11,960
invite each of you to find the area of

303
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:15,029
interest that you have combine it with

304
00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:17,490
your passion and join it with the

305
00:18:22,159 --> 00:18:19,769
knowledge that we have that's becoming

306
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:22,169
available at these conferences through

307
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:24,029
all the research that everyone's doing

308
00:18:30,919 --> 00:18:28,230
and try and do something that we can

309
00:18:46,610 --> 00:18:30,929
together make this world a little bit

310
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:52,140
thank you thank you for your

311
00:18:57,420 --> 00:18:54,340
presentation are you familiar with the

312
00:19:04,680 --> 00:18:57,430
Chinese and Japanese shui

313
00:19:09,810 --> 00:19:04,690
I actually looked into feng shui and the

314
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:09,820
Indian philosophy of VAS - they all look

315
00:19:15,330 --> 00:19:12,730
into this same topic and I think sacred

316
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:15,340
geometry also have talked about these

317
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:19,510
topics the the I'm going to be honest

318
00:19:24,090 --> 00:19:21,160
with you I haven't studied it at depth

319
00:19:27,930 --> 00:19:24,100
my education has been in Western

320
00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:27,940
architecture Western philosophy but I

321
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:32,380
did study Buddhist philosophy previously

322
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:34,540
before I moved to the States

323
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:38,410
so I do have awareness but I from what I

324
00:19:43,350 --> 00:19:41,110
see there are similarities in the topic

325
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:43,360
and I think there's a lot more that you

326
00:19:49,020 --> 00:19:47,110
can combine and dig deep into this topic

327
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:49,030
because I think this value you know like

328
00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:53,860
we shouldn't lose the knowledge that

329
00:20:00,030 --> 00:19:57,280
came with those practices and I think we

330
00:20:01,890 --> 00:20:00,040
in the process of getting caught up in

331
00:20:05,130 --> 00:20:01,900
this material world that we are in right

332
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:05,140
now we're sort of forgetting that when

333
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:08,110
we are doing buildings and objects and

334
00:20:58,330 --> 00:20:56,230
I am NOT going to give you a scientific

335
00:21:02,050 --> 00:20:58,340
answer to this because I'm not a

336
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:02,060
scientist and I I know their us research

337
00:21:06,790 --> 00:21:04,730
that's been done in this topic but I've

338
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:06,800
often wondered about this because I'm

339
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:09,650
from Sri Lanka it's where I grew up it's

340
00:21:13,930 --> 00:21:11,930
like a rainforest we had rain ten month

341
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:13,940
out months out of the year and then I

342
00:21:19,210 --> 00:21:15,800
lived in New York and Miami and now I

343
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:19,220
live in LA we have no rain in LA at all

344
00:21:24,820 --> 00:21:22,400
and I feel the difference I feel when I

345
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:24,830
go for a few weeks or months without

346
00:21:31,090 --> 00:21:28,130
going to a place that gets rain I feel

347
00:21:33,370 --> 00:21:31,100
it so I feel like water has a huge

348
00:21:35,890 --> 00:21:33,380
impact on the way we are other than the

349
00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:35,900
fact that it sustains us and that we

350
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:39,920
live you know but I feel like there's an

351
00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:41,570
energetic component to it and I'd be

352
00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:44,990
interested in learning about it and I

353
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:49,600
know there are some discussions in our

354
00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:52,190
circles that's going on about it and I'd

355
00:21:57,670 --> 00:21:54,560
really be interested if anyone would

356
00:22:04,460 --> 00:21:57,680
chime in on that with me later on thank

357
00:22:59,990 --> 00:22:52,990
there's two children maybe ether of

358
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:00,000
Sciences getting revisions yes thank you

359
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:06,510
yeah yes I think form definitely has a

360
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:09,900
big impact on how we respond to the

361
00:23:14,330 --> 00:23:13,530
world and how we respond to things so it
