  of
• 1:29
  conversations
• 1:29
  with
• 1:29
  AH

  in

  his

  teaching
• 1:31
  he
• 1:31
  talks
• 1:32
  about
• 1:32
  ascending,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  know,
• 1:33
  to
• 1:33
  the
• 1:34
  mountain
• 1:34
  peak,
• 1:34
  to
• 1:35
  the,
• 1:35
  the
• 1:36
  Holy
• 1:36
  Grail,
• 1:36
  if
• 1:37
  you
• 1:37
  will,
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  realization
• 1:38
  of
• 1:39
  that.
• 1:40
  And
• 1:40
  then
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  lot
• 1:42
  of
• 1:42
  people
• 1:42
  like
• 1:42
  to
• 1:42
  stay
• 1:42
  there
• 1:43
  because,
• 1:43
  you
• 1:43
  know,
• 1:43
  who
• 1:43
  would
• 1:44
  want
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  go
• 1:44
  back
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  anything
• 1:45
  else?
• 1:45
  But
• 1:45
  then
• 1:45
  you
• 1:46
  have
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  do
• 1:46
  the
• 1:47
  descent.
• 1:47
  Yes.
• 1:48
  Bring
• 1:48
  it
• 1:48
  on
• 1:48
  back
• 1:49
  home,
• 1:49
  back
• 1:49
  into
• 1:49
  the
• 1:50
  world.
• 1:50
  Absolutely.
• 1:51
  And
• 1:51
  I
• 1:52
  have
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  great,
• 1:53
  great
• 1:53
  blessing
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  being
• 1:54
  able
• 1:54
  to
• 1:55
  sit
• 1:55
  with
• 1:55
  and
• 1:55
  study
• 1:56
  with
• 1:56
  Hamid
• 1:57
  over
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  years.
• 1:58
  And
• 1:59
  that
• 1:59
  is
• 1:59
  a
• 1:59
  tremendous
• 2:00
  blessing
• 2:00
  and
• 2:00
  has
• 2:01
  helped
• 2:01
  me
• 2:01
  a
• 2:01
  great
• 2:02
  deal
• 2:02
  in
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  process
• 2:04
  of,
• 2:05
  you
• 2:05
  know,
• 2:05
  this
• 2:06
  ongoing
• 2:06
  inquiry.
• 2:07
  And
• 2:07
  I
• 2:07
  remember,
• 2:07
  you
• 2:08
  know,
• 2:08
  talking
• 2:08
  about
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  mountaintop.
• 2:09
  There
• 2:10
  was
• 2:10
  a
• 2:10
  time
• 2:10
  when
• 2:11
  I
• 2:11
  was
• 2:11
  in
• 2:11
  Tiruvannamalai
• 2:13
  and
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  knew
• 2:14
  I
• 2:14
  wasn't
• 2:14
  yet
• 2:15
  ready
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  re.
• 2:16
  Enter
• 2:16
  the
• 2:16
  world
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  west
• 2:17
  and
• 2:18
  everything
• 2:18
  and
• 2:19
  that
• 2:19
  I
• 2:19
  needed
• 2:19
  more
• 2:20
  time
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  steep
• 2:21
  there
• 2:21
  in
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22
  field
• 2:23
  of
• 2:23
  Ramana
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  mountain.
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  I
• 2:25
  remember
• 2:26
  this
• 2:27
  arising
• 2:28
  and
• 2:29
  it
• 2:29
  was
• 2:29
  like
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  spiritual
• 2:31
  fantasy.
• 2:31
  I
• 2:31
  could
• 2:32
  just
• 2:32
  happily
• 2:32
  disappear
• 2:33
  up
• 2:33
  this
• 2:33
  mountain,
• 2:34
  never
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  be
• 2:34
  seen
• 2:34
  again,
• 2:36
  just
• 2:36
  live
• 2:37
  like
• 2:37
  an
• 2:37
  ascetic,
• 2:37
  you
• 2:38
  know,
• 2:38
  part
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  me
• 2:38
  would
• 2:38
  have
• 2:39
  loved
• 2:39
  that.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:40
  I
• 2:41
  had
• 2:41
  a
• 2:41
  dream
• 2:42
  that
• 2:42
  night.
• 2:43
  And
• 2:43
  in
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  dream
• 2:43
  it
• 2:44
  was
• 2:44
  as
• 2:44
  if
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  mountain
• 2:45
  itself,
• 2:45
  and
• 2:46
  by
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  way,
• 2:46
  this
• 2:46
  isn't
• 2:46
  an
• 2:46
  ordinary
• 2:47
  mountain.
• 2:47
  Like
• 2:48
  this
• 2:48
  mountain
• 2:48
  has
• 2:49
  absorbed
• 2:49
  so
• 2:50
  much
• 2:50
  practice
• 2:50
  of
• 2:51
  such
• 2:51
  great
• 2:51
  souls
• 2:52
  over
• 2:52
  thousands
• 2:53
  of
• 2:53
  years.
• 2:53
  Ramana
• 2:54
  just
• 2:54
  being
• 2:54
  One
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  them,
• 2:55
  it
• 2:55
  was
• 2:56
  as
• 2:56
  if
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  mountain
• 2:57
  was
• 2:57
  shaking
• 2:57
  me
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  it
• 2:58
  kicked
• 2:58
  me
• 2:59
  up
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  backside.
• 2:59
  And
• 3:00
  it
• 3:00
  says,
• 3:01
  get
• 3:01
  back
• 3:01
  into
• 3:01
  the
• 3:02
  world.
• 3:02
  Lead
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  full
• 3:03
  human
• 3:03
  life
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  serve.
• 3:06
  And
• 3:07
  I
• 3:07
  left
• 3:07
  India
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  next
• 3:08
  day.
• 3:09
  It
• 3:09
  was
• 3:09
  like,
• 3:10
  that
• 3:10
  was
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  orders
• 3:12
  right
• 3:12
  there.
• 3:13
  There
• 3:13
  was
• 3:13
  no
• 3:13
  argument.
• 3:14
  Whatever
• 3:15
  you
• 3:15
  wanted,
• 3:15
  girl,
• 3:16
  tough
• 3:16
  luck.
• 3:17
  This
• 3:17
  is
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  truth.
• 3:18
  This
• 3:19
  is
• 3:19
  not
• 3:19
  what's
• 3:19
  supposed
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  be
• 3:20
  happening
• 3:20
  for
• 3:21
  you.
• 3:21
  This
• 3:21
  would
• 3:21
  be
• 3:22
  an
• 3:22
  avoidance
• 3:24
  for
• 3:24
  me.
• 3:24
  It
• 3:24
  might
• 3:25
  not
• 3:25
  be
• 3:25
  for
• 3:26
  another
• 3:26
  soul,
• 3:27
  but
• 3:27
  it
• 3:28
  was
• 3:28
  not
• 3:28
  the
• 3:29
  Dharma
• 3:29
  that
• 3:30
  was
• 3:30
  supposed
• 3:30
  to
• 3:31
  be
• 3:31
  happening
• 3:31
  for
• 3:32
  me.
• 3:33
  So
• 3:33
  you
• 3:33
  were
• 3:33
  called
• 3:33
  back
• 3:34
  into.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  absolutely
• 3:36
  called
• 3:37
  back,
• 3:37
  yes.
• 3:38
  And
• 3:38
  so
• 3:39
  that
• 3:39
  was
• 3:39
  when
• 3:39
  I
• 3:40
  knew
• 3:40
  it
• 3:40
  was
• 3:40
  time
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  re.
• 3:41
  Emerge
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  come
• 3:42
  back
• 3:42
  into
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  West.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:44
  that
• 3:45
  was
• 3:45
  when
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  was
• 3:46
  going,
• 3:46
  okay,
• 3:46
  what
• 3:47
  now?
• 3:47
  And
• 3:48
  big
• 3:48
  complex
• 3:49
  stuff
• 3:49
  like
• 3:50
  how
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  navigate
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  divorce,
• 3:51
  how
• 3:51
  to
• 3:52
  deal
• 3:52
  with
• 3:53
  all
• 3:53
  your
• 3:53
  possessions,
• 3:54
  wrap
• 3:54
  up
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  whole
• 3:55
  life,
• 3:55
  like,
• 3:56
  transition
• 3:56
  from
• 3:57
  one
• 3:57
  continent
• 3:57
  to
• 3:58
  another
• 3:58
  and
• 3:58
  all
• 3:58
  the
• 3:59
  complexities.
• 3:59
  Begin
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  whole
• 4:00
  new
• 4:00
  life
• 4:00
  where
• 4:00
  you
• 4:01
  don't
• 4:01
  know
• 4:01
  anyway,
• 4:01
  make
• 4:01
  friends,
• 4:03
  like,
• 4:03
  build
• 4:03
  a
• 4:04
  new
• 4:04
  life
• 4:06
  right
• 4:06
  from
• 4:06
  ground
• 4:07
  zero.
• 4:09
  Big
• 4:09
  stuff.
• 4:11
  And
• 4:11
  okay,
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  only
• 4:12
  way
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  was
• 4:13
  possible
• 4:13
  was
• 4:14
  to
• 4:14
  stay
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  now
• 4:15
  and
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  ask
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  listen
• 4:17
  and
• 4:17
  then
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  be
• 4:18
  willing
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  be
• 4:18
  obedient,
• 4:20
  to
• 4:21
  okay,
• 4:22
  this,
• 4:23
  okay,
• 4:23
  this.
• 4:24
  And
• 4:24
  so
• 4:24
  it
• 4:24
  wasn't
• 4:25
  like
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  voice
• 4:25
  saying,
• 4:26
  okay,
• 4:26
  do
• 4:26
  this.
• 4:27
  It
• 4:27
  would
• 4:28
  be
• 4:28
  just
• 4:28
  like
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  flow
• 4:29
  of
• 4:30
  life
• 4:30
  presenting
• 4:31
  the
• 4:32
  obvious
• 4:32
  next
• 4:32
  step
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  the
• 4:34
  thing
• 4:34
  that
• 4:34
  needed
• 4:35
  to
• 4:35
  be
• 4:35
  looked
• 4:35
  at,
• 4:35
  or
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  person
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  needed
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  be
• 4:37
  spoken
• 4:38
  to,
• 4:38
  or
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  research
• 4:39
  that
• 4:39
  needed
• 4:39
  to
• 4:40
  be
• 4:40
  done.
• 4:41
  And
• 4:41
  also,
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  know,
• 4:42
  the
• 4:43
  courage
• 4:43
  to
• 4:44
  open
• 4:45
  into
• 4:45
  it,
• 4:45
  even
• 4:46
  though
• 4:46
  it
• 4:46
  was
• 4:46
  vulnerable,
• 4:47
  even
• 4:47
  though
• 4:47
  it
• 4:48
  was
• 4:48
  edgy.
• 4:49
  Okay,
• 4:50
  okay.
• 4:50
  And
• 4:50
  the
• 4:51
  strength
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  courage
• 4:52
  actually
• 4:52
  comes
• 4:53
  from
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  depth
• 4:54
  of
• 4:54
  your
• 4:55
  devotion
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  your
• 4:55
  sincerity
• 4:56
  really
• 4:57
  has.
• 4:57
  For
• 4:57
  me,
• 4:58
  anyway.
• 4:59
  Say
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  again.
• 5:00
  The
• 5:00
  depth
• 5:00
  of
• 5:00
  your
• 5:01
  devotion
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  sincerity.
• 5:02
  Yeah.
• 5:02
  That's
• 5:03
  where
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  strength
• 5:03
  comes
• 5:04
  from.
• 5:04
  That's
• 5:04
  where
• 5:05
  your
• 5:05
  courage
• 5:05
  comes
• 5:06
  from.
• 5:07
  Right.
• 5:08
  When
• 5:09
  your
• 5:09
  heart,
• 5:10
  your
• 5:10
  deep
• 5:10
  heart
• 5:11
  is
• 5:11
  so
• 5:12
  engaged.
• 5:15
  It's
• 5:15
  like
• 5:15
  when
• 5:15
  you
• 5:15
  love
• 5:16
  someone
• 5:16
  very
• 5:17
  deeply,
• 5:17
  almost
• 5:18
  more
• 5:18
  than
• 5:18
  life
• 5:18
  itself,
• 5:19
  you
• 5:20
  naturally
• 5:20
  would
• 5:21
  do
• 5:21
  whatever
• 5:21
  it
• 5:22
  takes
• 5:22
  to
• 5:22
  help
• 5:23
  them
• 5:23
  thrive,
• 5:23
  wouldn't
• 5:24
  you?
• 5:25
  Right.
• 5:25
  Like
• 5:26
  a
• 5:26
  parent
• 5:26
  loves
• 5:27
  their
• 5:27
  child.
• 5:28
  And
• 5:28
  in
• 5:29
  that
• 5:29
  love,
• 5:30
  there's
• 5:30
  action
• 5:31
  that
• 5:31
  happens
• 5:32
  in
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  service
• 5:34
  of
• 5:34
  their
• 5:34
  child's
• 5:35
  well
• 5:35
  being,
• 5:35
  independent
• 5:36
  of
• 5:37
  whatever
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  parent
• 5:38
  it
• 5:38
  takes
• 5:39
  them
• 5:39
  out
• 5:39
  of
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  self
• 5:40
  centeredness
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  worries
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  the
• 5:41
  concerns.
• 5:41
  You
• 5:42
  just
• 5:42
  do
• 5:42
  what's
• 5:42
  needed
• 5:43
  because
• 5:43
  there's
• 5:43
  something
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  you
• 5:44
  love
• 5:45
  more,
• 5:46
  that's
• 5:46
  more
• 5:46
  important
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  it
• 5:48
  births
• 5:48
  itself.
• 5:50
  This
• 5:51
  is,
• 5:51
  by
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  way,
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  power
• 5:52
  in
• 5:52
  my
• 5:53
  view
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  devotion
• 5:54
  and
• 5:55
  why
• 5:56
  no
• 5:56
  matter
• 5:56
  what
• 5:56
  kind
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  path
• 5:57
  you're
• 5:57
  walking,
• 5:58
  it's
• 5:58
  not
• 5:59
  going
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  bring
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  all
• 5:59
  the
• 6:00
  Way
• 6:00
  home
• 6:00
  without
• 6:00
  devotion.
• 6:03
  Well,
• 6:03
  say
• 6:03
  more
• 6:04
  about
• 6:04
  that,
• 6:04
  because
• 6:05
  that's
• 6:06
  quite
• 6:06
  a
• 6:06
  statement.
• 6:07
  Yeah,
• 6:07
  it
• 6:07
  is.
• 6:08
  I
• 6:08
  believe
• 6:08
  it
• 6:08
  deeply.
• 6:09
  Well,
• 6:10
  it's
• 6:10
  because
• 6:12
  it's
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  source
• 6:13
  of
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  strength,
• 6:13
  the
• 6:14
  source
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  the
• 6:14
  love.
• 6:15
  The
• 6:15
  source
• 6:15
  of
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  motivation
• 6:18
  is
• 6:18
  God,
• 6:18
  right?
• 6:19
  And
• 6:19
  it's
• 6:20
  one
• 6:20
  and
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  same
• 6:21
  as
• 6:21
  love.
• 6:22
  And
• 6:22
  once
• 6:22
  we
• 6:22
  get
• 6:22
  a
• 6:23
  taste
• 6:23
  for
• 6:23
  it,
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  exponentiates
• 6:25
  itself.
• 6:26
  And
• 6:27
  so
• 6:28
  when
• 6:28
  you
• 6:29
  turn
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  consciousness
• 6:30
  into
• 6:32
  whatever
• 6:33
  your
• 6:33
  preferred
• 6:35
  name
• 6:36
  or
• 6:36
  face
• 6:37
  or
• 6:37
  form
• 6:38
  of
• 6:38
  the
• 6:39
  divine
• 6:39
  is,
• 6:40
  call
• 6:40
  it
• 6:40
  what
• 6:40
  you
• 6:40
  like,
• 6:42
  and
• 6:42
  you
• 6:43
  just
• 6:43
  let
• 6:43
  yourself
• 6:44
  say
• 6:44
  that
• 6:44
  name
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  let
• 6:46
  yourself
• 6:46
  feel
• 6:46
  your
• 6:47
  love
• 6:47
  for
• 6:47
  that.
• 6:48
  The
• 6:48
  fact
• 6:48
  that
• 6:49
  you
• 6:49
  love
• 6:49
  that,
• 6:50
  it
• 6:50
  represents
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  truth
• 6:51
  that
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  love,
• 6:52
  that
• 6:53
  is
• 6:53
  the
• 6:54
  truth
• 6:54
  of
• 6:54
  us
• 6:54
  all.
• 6:54
  That
• 6:55
  is
• 6:55
  what
• 6:55
  really
• 6:55
  matters.
• 6:56
  It's
• 6:57
  like
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  flame
• 6:58
  getting
• 6:58
  stronger
• 6:59
  and
• 6:59
  building
• 6:59
  itself
• 7:00
  into
• 7:00
  a
• 7:01
  fire
• 7:01
  that
• 7:02
  transforms.
• 7:04
  You
• 7:04
  know,
• 7:06
  it's
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  fire
• 7:06
  that
• 7:07
  changes
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  shape
• 7:07
  of
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  metal.
• 7:09
  Right.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:11
  not
• 7:12
  only
• 7:12
  that,
• 7:12
  but
• 7:12
  when
• 7:12
  we
• 7:13
  pour
• 7:13
  ourself
• 7:14
  into
• 7:15
  devotional
• 7:16
  practices,
• 7:17
  like
• 7:17
  certain
• 7:18
  prayers
• 7:18
  that
• 7:18
  have
• 7:19
  been
• 7:19
  said
• 7:20
  through
• 7:20
  beings
• 7:21
  in
• 7:21
  countless
• 7:22
  forms
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  times
• 7:22
  and
• 7:23
  lineages,
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  know,
• 7:25
  that
• 7:25
  we
• 7:25
  resonate
• 7:26
  with
• 7:26
  for
• 7:26
  whatever
• 7:27
  reason
• 7:28
  or
• 7:28
  in
• 7:29
  my
• 7:29
  experience,
• 7:29
  when
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  turn
• 7:30
  into
• 7:30
  a
• 7:31
  mantra,
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  know,
• 7:32
  every
• 7:32
  time
• 7:32
  I.
• 7:33
  When
• 7:33
  I've
• 7:33
  hit
• 7:34
  walls
• 7:34
  in
• 7:34
  my
• 7:35
  path
• 7:35
  or
• 7:35
  my
• 7:35
  journey
• 7:36
  or
• 7:36
  places
• 7:36
  of
• 7:37
  despair,
• 7:38
  what
• 7:38
  I've
• 7:38
  learned
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  do
• 7:39
  is
• 7:39
  turn
• 7:40
  into
• 7:40
  a
• 7:40
  mantra
• 7:41
  which
• 7:41
  is
• 7:41
  not
• 7:41
  only
• 7:42
  of
• 7:42
  our
• 7:42
  name
• 7:43
  of
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  divine,
• 7:44
  it's
• 7:44
  a
• 7:45
  vibration
• 7:45
  of
• 7:45
  holiness.
• 7:46
  It
• 7:47
  carries
• 7:47
  with
• 7:47
  it
• 7:48
  the
• 7:49
  love
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  the
• 7:50
  spiritual
• 7:50
  energy
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  devotion
• 7:52
  of
• 7:53
  countless
• 7:53
  beings
• 7:54
  before
• 7:54
  me.
• 7:55
  It's
• 7:55
  like
• 7:56
  this
• 7:56
  river
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  gathers
• 7:58
  momentum
• 7:59
  as
• 7:59
  it
• 7:59
  goes
• 8:00
  along
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  carries
• 8:01
  more
• 8:01
  souls
• 8:02
  back
• 8:02
  into
• 8:02
  itself.
• 8:03
  And
• 8:03
  then
• 8:04
  as
• 8:04
  soon
• 8:04
  as
• 8:04
  you
• 8:04
  intone,
• 8:05
  Om
• 8:05
  Namah
• 8:05
  Shivayaro
• 8:06
  Omni
• 8:07
  Padmi
• 8:08
  Hum
• 8:08
  or
• 8:09
  Om
• 8:09
  Nama
• 8:09
  Bhagavad
• 8:10
  or
• 8:11
  Our
• 8:11
  Father
• 8:12
  who
• 8:12
  art
• 8:12
  in
• 8:12
  heaven,
• 8:13
  or
• 8:13
  May
• 8:14
  all
• 8:14
  beings
• 8:14
  dwell
• 8:14
  in
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  heart,
• 8:15
  whichever
• 8:16
  one
• 8:16
  does
• 8:16
  it
• 8:16
  for
• 8:17
  you
• 8:17
  feels
• 8:17
  right
• 8:18
  for
• 8:18
  you.
• 8:19
  It's
• 8:19
  like,
• 8:19
  there
• 8:20
  you
• 8:20
  are,
• 8:20
  you
• 8:20
  then
• 8:21
  get
• 8:21
  carried.
• 8:22
  You're
• 8:22
  entering
• 8:23
  this
• 8:23
  stream
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  has
• 8:24
  already
• 8:24
  been
• 8:24
  flowing
• 8:25
  that's
• 8:25
  so
• 8:26
  much
• 8:26
  bigger
• 8:26
  than
• 8:26
  your
• 8:26
  worries
• 8:27
  and
• 8:27
  your
• 8:27
  concerns,
• 8:28
  so
• 8:29
  much
• 8:29
  bigger
• 8:29
  than
• 8:29
  your
• 8:29
  fear
• 8:30
  and
• 8:30
  your
• 8:30
  doubt.
• 8:31
  And
• 8:33
  there's
• 8:33
  power
• 8:33
  in
• 8:34
  it.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:35
  it
• 8:35
  feeds
• 8:36
  our.
• 8:36
  Yes.
• 8:37
  And
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  empowers
• 8:39
  us.
• 8:39
  And
• 8:39
  it's
• 8:40
  like
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  strong
• 8:40
  broom
• 8:41
  that
• 8:41
  sweeps
• 8:42
  us.
• 8:43
  It's
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  strong
• 8:43
  broom
• 8:44
  of
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  substance
• 8:46
  that
• 8:47
  is
• 8:47
  purer
• 8:48
  than
• 8:49
  anything
• 8:49
  else
• 8:51
  that
• 8:51
  is
• 8:51
  going
• 8:52
  to
• 8:52
  clean
• 8:53
  house.
• 8:54
  I
• 8:54
  could
• 8:54
  go
• 8:54
  on,
• 8:55
  but
• 8:55
  I'm
• 8:55
  starting
• 8:55
  to
• 8:55
  rave
• 8:56
  now.
• 8:56
  Yes,
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  certainly
• 8:57
  could.
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  was
• 8:58
  going
• 8:58
  to
• 8:58
  ask
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  about
• 9:00
  this
• 9:00
  brings
• 9:00
  up
• 9:01
  something
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  said
• 9:02
  earlier
• 9:02
  about
• 9:02
  going
• 9:02
  to
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  cave.
• 9:03
  Right,
• 9:03
  the
• 9:04
  holy
• 9:04
  cave
• 9:04
  and
• 9:06
  Rupert
• 9:06
  Sheldrake.
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  don't
• 9:07
  know
• 9:07
  if
• 9:07
  you're
• 9:07
  familiar
• 9:07
  with
• 9:07
  his?
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  do.
• 9:09
  I'm
• 9:09
  very
• 9:09
  interested
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  science
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  physics
• 9:11
  and
• 9:11
  trying
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  figure
• 9:12
  out
• 9:12
  the
• 9:12
  whole
• 9:12
  thing.
• 9:12
  And
• 9:13
  he's
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  brilliant
• 9:13
  man,
• 9:14
  but
• 9:14
  he's
• 9:14
  also
• 9:14
  a
• 9:15
  very
• 9:15
  spiritual
• 9:15
  man,
• 9:15
  a
• 9:16
  mystic,
• 9:16
  definitely.
• 9:17
  And
• 9:17
  he
• 9:17
  talks
• 9:18
  about
• 9:18
  the.
• 9:18
  The
• 9:19
  power
• 9:19
  of
• 9:19
  pilgrimages.
• 9:20
  Yes.
• 9:21
  Being
• 9:21
  these
• 9:22
  places.
• 9:22
  And
• 9:22
  I
• 9:22
  had
• 9:22
  experience.
• 9:23
  One
• 9:23
  time
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  was
• 9:24
  doing
• 9:24
  this
• 9:24
  tour
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24
  Europe
• 9:25
  and
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  went
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  Dachau,
• 9:26
  right.
• 9:27
  Nazi
• 9:27
  concentration
• 9:28
  camp,
• 9:28
  and
• 9:28
  went
• 9:29
  there
• 9:29
  at
• 9:29
  night.
• 9:30
  It
• 9:30
  was
• 9:30
  foggy
• 9:31
  and
• 9:31
  kind
• 9:31
  of
• 9:31
  misty
• 9:31
  and
• 9:32
  rainy.
• 9:32
  And
• 9:32
  they
• 9:32
  leave
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  gate
• 9:33
  open.
• 9:33
  There's
• 9:33
  nobody,
• 9:34
  you
• 9:34
  know,
• 9:34
  taking
• 9:35
  tickets
• 9:35
  or
• 9:35
  anything.
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  walked
• 9:36
  around
• 9:36
  there
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  just.
• 9:38
  Just
• 9:38
  absorbed
• 9:39
  that
• 9:40
  suffering.
• 9:41
  Like
• 9:41
  your
• 9:42
  question
• 9:42
  as
• 9:42
  a
• 9:42
  13
• 9:42
  year
• 9:43
  old.
• 9:43
  How.
• 9:44
  Why?
• 9:45
  What
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  f.
• 9:46
  Over,
• 9:46
  you
• 9:47
  know.
• 9:47
  And
• 9:47
  then
• 9:48
  we
• 9:48
  drove
• 9:49
  directly
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  Assisi.
• 9:51
  And
• 9:52
  gosh,
• 9:52
  wow,
• 9:53
  that's
• 9:53
  amazing.
• 9:54
  I
• 9:54
  know.
• 9:54
  What
• 9:54
  a
• 9:55
  polarity,
• 9:55
  Right.
• 9:55
  But
• 9:56
  perfect.
• 9:56
  Something
• 9:56
  in
• 9:57
  you
• 9:57
  says,
• 9:58
  I
• 9:58
  want
• 9:58
  the
• 9:58
  full
• 9:59
  spectrum.
• 10:00
  Yes,
• 10:00
  indeed.
• 10:01
  And
• 10:01
  so
• 10:01
  we
• 10:01
  got
• 10:01
  there
• 10:02
  and
• 10:02
  it
• 10:02
  was
• 10:02
  all
• 10:02
  foggy.
• 10:02
  And
• 10:02
  I
• 10:02
  said,
• 10:03
  hey,
• 10:03
  Francis,
• 10:03
  could
• 10:03
  you
• 10:04
  give
• 10:04
  us
• 10:04
  a
• 10:04
  nice
• 10:04
  weather?
• 10:04
  And
• 10:05
  all
• 10:05
  of
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  sudden,
• 10:05
  the
• 10:05
  sun
• 10:05
  begins
• 10:06
  to
• 10:06
  lift.
• 10:06
  I'm
• 10:06
  like,
• 10:06
  okay,
• 10:07
  that's
• 10:07
  kind
• 10:07
  of
• 10:07
  scary.
• 10:08
  And
• 10:08
  we
• 10:08
  walked
• 10:09
  into
• 10:09
  the
• 10:09
  big
• 10:09
  cathedral
• 10:10
  there,
• 10:10
  you
• 10:10
  know,
• 10:10
  it
• 10:10
  was
• 10:11
  in
• 10:11
  November.
• 10:11
  We
• 10:11
  had.
• 10:11
  It
• 10:12
  was
• 10:12
  like
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  holy
• 10:12
  ghost
• 10:12
  town
• 10:13
  there.
• 10:13
  Barely
• 10:13
  anybody
• 10:13
  there.
• 10:14
  It
• 10:14
  was
• 10:14
  really
• 10:14
  beautiful.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:15
  there
• 10:15
  was
• 10:18
  some.
• 10:18
  A
• 10:18
  sign
• 10:18
  saying
• 10:19
  this
• 10:19
  Tumba
• 10:20
  de
• 10:20
  Francesco,
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  know,
• 10:21
  and
• 10:21
  it's
• 10:22
  like
• 10:23
  Francis's
• 10:24
  tomb.
• 10:24
  And
• 10:25
  I'm
• 10:25
  like,
• 10:25
  I
• 10:26
  am
• 10:26
  not
• 10:26
  ready
• 10:27
  for
• 10:27
  this.
• 10:27
  No.
• 10:28
  I
• 10:29
  would
• 10:29
  just
• 10:29
  pull
• 10:29
  down
• 10:30
  into
• 10:30
  this
• 10:30
  space
• 10:31
  and
• 10:31
  there.
• 10:32
  It's
• 10:32
  hard
• 10:32
  for
• 10:33
  me
• 10:33
  to
• 10:33
  talk
• 10:33
  about
• 10:33
  choking
• 10:34
  up.
• 10:35
  And
• 10:36
  there
• 10:36
  was
• 10:36
  his
• 10:36
  tomb
• 10:37
  and
• 10:37
  all
• 10:37
  his
• 10:38
  brothers
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  I'd
• 10:38
  read
• 10:39
  about.
• 10:39
  People
• 10:39
  that
• 10:39
  were
• 10:40
  really
• 10:40
  loved
• 10:40
  him
• 10:40
  and
• 10:41
  that
• 10:41
  were
• 10:41
  together,
• 10:42
  were
• 10:42
  surrounding
• 10:43
  him
• 10:43
  in
• 10:43
  the
• 10:43
  circle.
• 10:43
  And
• 10:44
  there
• 10:44
  was
• 10:44
  just.
• 10:45
  I
• 10:45
  don't
• 10:45
  know,
• 10:45
  the
• 10:45
  light
• 10:45
  was
• 10:46
  perfectly
• 10:47
  holy.
• 10:47
  And
• 10:47
  I
• 10:47
  just
• 10:48
  sat
• 10:48
  there,
• 10:48
  it
• 10:49
  felt
• 10:49
  like
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  holy
• 10:50
  fire
• 10:50
  was
• 10:50
  just
• 10:50
  burning
• 10:50
  my
• 10:51
  heart,
• 10:51
  you
• 10:51
  know,
• 10:52
  And
• 10:52
  I
• 10:53
  wasn't
• 10:53
  expecting
• 10:53
  it.
• 10:54
  I
• 10:54
  kind
• 10:54
  of
• 10:54
  had
• 10:54
  this
• 10:54
  idea
• 10:54
  God
• 10:55
  is
• 10:55
  everywhere.
• 10:56
  You
• 10:56
  know,
• 10:57
  it's
• 10:57
  like
• 10:58
  all
• 10:58
  this
• 10:58
  stuff,
• 10:58
  superstition,
• 10:59
  and
• 11:00
  it
• 11:00
  just
• 11:00
  burned
• 11:01
  my
• 11:01
  heart
• 11:01
  away,
• 11:03
  the
• 11:03
  pain.
• 11:04
  So
• 11:04
  it
• 11:04
  makes
• 11:04
  me
• 11:04
  think
• 11:05
  that
• 11:06
  as
• 11:06
  a
• 11:06
  practice,
• 11:07
  going
• 11:08
  to
• 11:08
  these
• 11:08
  places
• 11:08
  where
• 11:09
  this
• 11:09
  energy
• 11:09
  has
• 11:10
  accumulated
• 11:11
  over
• 11:11
  centuries,
• 11:12
  decades,
• 11:12
  there's
• 11:13
  transformational
• 11:13
  power,
• 11:14
  if
• 11:14
  we're
• 11:14
  open
• 11:14
  to
• 11:15
  it.
• 11:15
  Very
• 11:16
  much.
• 11:17
  Yeah.
• 11:17
  And
• 11:18
  I
• 11:18
  think
• 11:18
  that's
• 11:18
  why
• 11:19
  human
• 11:19
  beings
• 11:19
  over
• 11:20
  times
• 11:20
  have
• 11:20
  flocked
• 11:21
  to
• 11:21
  these
• 11:21
  places
• 11:22
  where
• 11:23
  a
• 11:23
  great
• 11:24
  soul
• 11:25
  has.
• 11:25
  Let's
• 11:26
  just
• 11:26
  say
• 11:26
  the
• 11:27
  window
• 11:27
  pane
• 11:27
  not
• 11:28
  only
• 11:28
  got
• 11:28
  so
• 11:28
  clarified,
• 11:29
  but
• 11:29
  the
• 11:29
  glass
• 11:30
  got
• 11:30
  taken
• 11:30
  out.
• 11:31
  Yes.
• 11:31
  Right.
• 11:32
  And
• 11:32
  so
• 11:32
  there's
• 11:33
  just
• 11:33
  total
• 11:34
  openness
• 11:35
  for
• 11:35
  these
• 11:36
  celestial
• 11:37
  beauties
• 11:37
  and
• 11:38
  possibilities
• 11:39
  and
• 11:40
  this
• 11:40
  nobility,
• 11:41
  you
• 11:41
  know,
• 11:42
  divine
• 11:42
  being
• 11:43
  to
• 11:43
  manifest
• 11:43
  itself
• 11:44
  in
• 11:44
  a
• 11:44
  human
• 11:45
  that
• 11:46
  has
• 11:46
  inspired
• 11:47
  us
• 11:48
  and
• 11:48
  that
• 11:49
  the
• 11:49
  ripples
• 11:50
  of
• 11:50
  what
• 11:50
  poured
• 11:51
  through
• 11:51
  are
• 11:51
  still
• 11:52
  there
• 11:52
  and
• 11:53
  actually
• 11:53
  gather
• 11:53
  more
• 11:54
  momentum
• 11:55
  as
• 11:55
  more
• 11:55
  souls
• 11:56
  gather
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  say,
• 11:57
  we
• 11:58
  want
• 11:58
  this
• 11:58
  too.
• 11:58
  We
• 11:59
  want
• 11:59
  to
• 11:59
  feel
• 11:59
  this
• 12:00
  too.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:02
  that's
• 12:02
  happened
• 12:03
  in
• 12:03
  many
• 12:04
  parts
• 12:04
  of
• 12:04
  the
• 12:04
  world.
• 12:05
  And
• 12:05
  if
• 12:06
  we
• 12:06
  can
• 12:07
  take
• 12:07
  ourselves
• 12:07
  to
• 12:08
  these
• 12:08
  places.
• 12:08
  And
• 12:08
  I
• 12:08
  love
• 12:09
  it
• 12:09
  that
• 12:09
  you're
• 12:09
  including
• 12:11
  places
• 12:11
  where
• 12:12
  some
• 12:12
  of
• 12:12
  the
• 12:12
  most
• 12:12
  horrendous
• 12:13
  things
• 12:13
  have
• 12:13
  gone
• 12:14
  down,
• 12:14
  where
• 12:15
  the
• 12:15
  most
• 12:15
  awful,
• 12:17
  inhuman
• 12:17
  manifestations
• 12:18
  have
• 12:19
  gone,
• 12:19
  where
• 12:19
  the
• 12:19
  darkest
• 12:20
  things
• 12:20
  have
• 12:20
  happened
• 12:21
  too.
• 12:22
  And
• 12:22
  I
• 12:23
  know
• 12:23
  that
• 12:23
  there's
• 12:24
  something
• 12:24
  that's
• 12:24
  been
• 12:24
  going
• 12:25
  on
• 12:25
  in
• 12:26
  me
• 12:26
  in
• 12:26
  the
• 12:26
  last
• 12:27
  few
• 12:27
  years
• 12:27
  I
• 12:27
  haven't
• 12:28
  been
• 12:28
  writing
• 12:28
  about,
• 12:29
  but
• 12:29
  I
• 12:29
  will.
• 12:29
  It's
• 12:30
  coming
• 12:30
  soon.
• 12:31
  But
• 12:31
  I'll
• 12:31
  give
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  a
• 12:31
  little
• 12:32
  headline
• 12:33
  where
• 12:33
  I'm
• 12:34
  feeling
• 12:34
  this
• 12:36
  polarity
• 12:36
  that
• 12:36
  isn't
• 12:37
  really
• 12:37
  too.
• 12:38
  Of
• 12:39
  all
• 12:39
  the
• 12:39
  suffering
• 12:40
  and
• 12:40
  distortion
• 12:41
  of
• 12:41
  all
• 12:42
  of
• 12:42
  the
• 12:42
  human
• 12:43
  condition
• 12:43
  that
• 12:43
  ever
• 12:44
  was,
• 12:44
  that
• 12:44
  has
• 12:44
  happened
• 12:45
  in
• 12:45
  me,
• 12:45
  that
• 12:46
  has
• 12:46
  happened
• 12:46
  in
• 12:46
  us
• 12:47
  all
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  has
• 12:48
  happened,
• 12:48
  you
• 12:48
  know,
• 12:49
  Hitler,
• 12:49
  Jews,
• 12:49
  slave
• 12:50
  owners,
• 12:50
  slaves,
• 12:51
  rapists,
• 12:52
  rapists.
• 12:53
  The
• 12:53
  depth
• 12:54
  and
• 12:55
  density
• 12:55
  of
• 12:56
  the
• 12:56
  ignorance
• 12:57
  and
• 12:57
  the
• 12:57
  suffering
• 12:58
  that
• 12:58
  has
• 12:58
  gone
• 12:58
  down
• 12:59
  and
• 12:59
  is
• 12:59
  still
• 12:59
  going
• 13:00
  down.
• 13:01
  Can
• 13:01
  I
• 13:01
  open
• 13:01
  my
• 13:02
  whole
• 13:02
  being
• 13:03
  to
• 13:03
  all
• 13:03
  of
• 13:03
  it?
• 13:03
  Can
• 13:04
  it
• 13:04
  all
• 13:04
  be
• 13:04
  made
• 13:04
  love
• 13:05
  to
• 13:05
  in
• 13:06
  this
• 13:06
  vessel?
• 13:07
  Right.
• 13:08
  Can
• 13:08
  I
• 13:09
  see
• 13:10
  and
• 13:10
  understand
• 13:11
  that
• 13:12
  for
• 13:12
  what
• 13:12
  it
• 13:12
  is?
• 13:13
  Can
• 13:13
  I
• 13:13
  open
• 13:14
  my
• 13:14
  heart
• 13:14
  to
• 13:15
  all
• 13:15
  of
• 13:15
  it
• 13:16
  and
• 13:17
  let
• 13:17
  the
• 13:18
  distortion
• 13:18
  and
• 13:18
  the
• 13:19
  suffering
• 13:19
  be
• 13:20
  transformed,
• 13:20
  be
• 13:21
  tonglen'd
• 13:22
  be
• 13:23
  understood
• 13:23
  more
• 13:24
  completely?
• 13:26
  And
• 13:26
  what
• 13:27
  can
• 13:27
  be
• 13:27
  birthed
• 13:28
  in
• 13:29
  that
• 13:29
  possibility
• 13:30
  of
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  deeper
• 13:31
  humanity,
• 13:32
  a
• 13:32
  deeper
• 13:33
  wisdom,
• 13:34
  a
• 13:34
  deeper
• 13:34
  compassion,
• 13:35
  a
• 13:35
  deeper
• 13:36
  possibility,
• 13:38
  new
• 13:38
  understandings
• 13:39
  and
• 13:39
  creativity
• 13:40
  of
• 13:40
  how
• 13:41
  we
• 13:42
  can
• 13:42
  show
• 13:42
  up
• 13:43
  and
• 13:43
  help
• 13:43
  others
• 13:43
  and
• 13:44
  be
• 13:44
  more
• 13:45
  beautiful
• 13:45
  and
• 13:45
  impeccable?
• 13:47
  One
• 13:47
  of
• 13:47
  the
• 13:48
  other
• 13:48
  lessons
• 13:48
  I
• 13:49
  was
• 13:49
  given
• 13:50
  in
• 13:51
  Assisi
• 13:51
  was
• 13:52
  there,
• 13:52
  outside
• 13:53
  of
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  town,
• 13:53
  you
• 13:54
  just
• 13:54
  go
• 13:54
  down
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  hill
• 13:54
  and
• 13:54
  there's
• 13:55
  this
• 13:55
  church
• 13:55
  that
• 13:56
  Francis
• 13:56
  restored
• 13:57
  with
• 13:57
  his
• 13:57
  own
• 13:57
  hand.
• 13:58
  And
• 13:58
  later
• 13:59
  it
• 13:59
  became
• 13:59
  a
• 13:59
  place
• 13:59
  for
• 14:00
  Claire,
• 14:01
  his
• 14:01
  counterpart
• 14:02
  lived
• 14:03
  and
• 14:03
  with
• 14:03
  her
• 14:04
  sisters.
• 14:04
  And
• 14:04
  eventually,
• 14:05
  when
• 14:05
  he
• 14:05
  was
• 14:05
  ill,
• 14:06
  he
• 14:06
  went
• 14:06
  there
• 14:06
  to
• 14:06
  die.
• 14:07
  So
• 14:07
  there's
• 14:07
  that.
• 14:07
  That
• 14:08
  kind
• 14:08
  of
• 14:08
  energy
• 14:08
  there.
• 14:08
  And
• 14:09
  it
• 14:09
  was
• 14:09
  just
• 14:09
  a
• 14:09
  chapel
• 14:10
  and
• 14:10
  nobody
• 14:11
  there.
• 14:11
  And
• 14:11
  I
• 14:11
  just
• 14:11
  hung
• 14:12
  out
• 14:12
  and
• 14:12
  prayed,
• 14:13
  and
• 14:13
  I
• 14:13
  was
• 14:13
  starting
• 14:13
  to
• 14:14
  go
• 14:14
  back
• 14:14
  to
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  hill.
• 14:15
  What
• 14:15
  I
• 14:15
  kind
• 14:15
  of
• 14:15
  got
• 14:16
  was
• 14:16
  like,
• 14:17
  Francis
• 14:17
  and
• 14:17
  Claire,
• 14:18
  his
• 14:18
  brothers
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  sisters,
• 14:19
  they
• 14:19
  had
• 14:20
  stepped
• 14:20
  up
• 14:20
  to
• 14:20
  the
• 14:20
  challenge
• 14:21
  of
• 14:21
  their
• 14:21
  times.
• 14:22
  Yeah,
• 14:22
  what
• 14:23
  was
• 14:23
  going
• 14:23
  on?
• 14:24
  The
• 14:24
  Middle
• 14:24
  Ages
• 14:24
  in
• 14:24
  Europe
• 14:25
  wasn't
• 14:26
  really
• 14:26
  a
• 14:26
  happy
• 14:27
  time.
• 14:27
  You
• 14:27
  know,
• 14:27
  the
• 14:28
  time
• 14:28
  of.
• 14:28
  Of
• 14:29
  slavery,
• 14:29
  serfdom,
• 14:30
  incessant
• 14:31
  war,
• 14:31
  slaughter,
• 14:32
  rape,
• 14:32
  pillage,
• 14:33
  on
• 14:33
  and
• 14:33
  on.
• 14:34
  And
• 14:34
  he
• 14:35
  had
• 14:35
  found
• 14:35
  a
• 14:35
  way
• 14:36
  to
• 14:36
  meet
• 14:36
  the
• 14:36
  challenges
• 14:37
  of
• 14:37
  the
• 14:37
  historical
• 14:38
  time
• 14:38
  that
• 14:39
  he
• 14:39
  was
• 14:39
  in.
• 14:39
  And
• 14:41
  my
• 14:41
  mantra,
• 14:41
  my
• 14:42
  question,
• 14:42
  how
• 14:43
  can
• 14:43
  I
• 14:44
  step
• 14:44
  up
• 14:46
  to
• 14:46
  the
• 14:46
  Challenges
• 14:47
  of
• 14:47
  my
• 14:48
  time.
• 14:48
  And
• 14:49
  what
• 14:49
  does
• 14:49
  that
• 14:49
  look
• 14:49
  like?
• 14:50
  And
• 14:50
  that,
• 14:50
  of
• 14:50
  course,
• 14:50
  that's
• 14:50
  still
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  question
• 14:51
  that
• 14:51
  I'm
• 14:51
  still
• 14:52
  working
• 14:52
  on.
• 14:53
  And
• 14:53
  that
• 14:53
  is
• 14:53
  the
• 14:53
  question,
• 14:54
  isn't
• 14:54
  it,
• 14:54
  for
• 14:55
  all
• 14:55
  of
• 14:55
  us
• 14:55
  right
• 14:56
  now?
• 14:57
  What
• 14:57
  are
• 14:57
  we
• 14:58
  called
• 14:58
  to
• 14:59
  personally?
• 15:00
  What
• 15:01
  do
• 15:01
  we
• 15:01
  need
• 15:01
  to
• 15:02
  open
• 15:03
  our
• 15:03
  hearts
• 15:03
  to
• 15:04
  and
• 15:04
  be
• 15:04
  more
• 15:05
  fully
• 15:05
  present
• 15:06
  and
• 15:06
  meet
• 15:07
  so
• 15:07
  that
• 15:08
  we
• 15:09
  can
• 15:09
  be
• 15:09
  more
• 15:10
  responsive
• 15:10
  rather
• 15:11
  than
• 15:11
  reactive?
• 15:12
  We
• 15:13
  can
• 15:13
  hold
• 15:13
  down
• 15:14
  the
• 15:14
  light
• 15:14
  in
• 15:15
  what
• 15:15
  often
• 15:16
  seems
• 15:16
  like
• 15:16
  very
• 15:17
  dark
• 15:17
  times
• 15:18
  where
• 15:19
  we
• 15:19
  can
• 15:19
  retain
• 15:19
  our
• 15:20
  optimism
• 15:20
  even
• 15:21
  though
• 15:21
  we
• 15:21
  have
• 15:22
  no
• 15:22
  idea
• 15:22
  what's
• 15:23
  happening
• 15:23
  next
• 15:23
  and
• 15:24
  how
• 15:24
  it's
• 15:24
  all
• 15:24
  going
• 15:24
  to
• 15:25
  shake
• 15:25
  down,
• 15:26
  where
• 15:26
  we
• 15:27
  can
• 15:27
  be
• 15:27
  joyful
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  beautiful
• 15:29
  in
• 15:29
  spite
• 15:30
  of
• 15:30
  it
• 15:30
  all
• 15:31
  because
• 15:32
  we're
• 15:32
  in
• 15:32
  touch
• 15:32
  with
• 15:33
  something
• 15:33
  that
• 15:34
  is
• 15:34
  always
• 15:34
  here,
• 15:36
  a
• 15:36
  grace
• 15:36
  that
• 15:37
  is
• 15:37
  always
• 15:38
  so.
• 15:40
  And
• 15:40
  that
• 15:41
  life
• 15:41
  is
• 15:41
  still
• 15:41
  a
• 15:42
  blessing.
• 15:44
  Here's
• 15:45
  another
• 15:45
  question
• 15:46
  that
• 15:46
  you're
• 15:46
  here
• 15:46
  and
• 15:47
  you're
• 15:47
  on,
• 15:47
  that
• 15:48
  I
• 15:48
  want
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  pose
• 15:48
  to
• 15:49
  you.
• 15:49
  I
• 15:49
  was
• 15:49
  at
• 15:49
  a
• 15:50
  small
• 15:51
  workshop
• 15:51
  with
• 15:51
  Andrew
• 15:52
  Harvey.
• 15:52
  Oh
• 15:53
  yeah.
• 15:53
  Back
• 15:53
  east.
• 15:54
  And
• 15:54
  there's
• 15:54
  only
• 15:54
  like
• 15:54
  12
• 15:55
  of
• 15:55
  us
• 15:55
  in
• 15:55
  a
• 15:55
  living
• 15:55
  room.
• 15:56
  It
• 15:56
  was
• 15:56
  very
• 15:56
  intimate
• 15:57
  and
• 15:57
  I
• 15:57
  got
• 15:57
  to
• 15:57
  hang
• 15:58
  out
• 15:58
  a
• 15:58
  lot.
• 15:58
  And
• 15:59
  he
• 15:59
  had,
• 15:59
  you
• 16:00
  know,
• 16:00
  a
• 16:00
  list
• 16:00
  of
• 16:00
  reasons
• 16:01
  we
• 16:01
  should
• 16:01
  be
• 16:01
  concerned,
• 16:02
  right?
• 16:02
  About
• 16:03
  state
• 16:03
  of
• 16:03
  the
• 16:04
  world,
• 16:04
  the
• 16:04
  state
• 16:04
  of
• 16:04
  things,
• 16:05
  humanity,
• 16:05
  whatever.
• 16:06
  And
• 16:07
  I,
• 16:07
  I
• 16:07
  can't
• 16:07
  remember
• 16:08
  them,
• 16:08
  but
• 16:08
  I
• 16:08
  don't
• 16:08
  think
• 16:08
  they've
• 16:09
  changed
• 16:09
  much
• 16:09
  over
• 16:10
  the
• 16:10
  years.
• 16:11
  But
• 16:11
  the
• 16:11
  last
• 16:11
  thing
• 16:11
  he
• 16:11
  said,
• 16:12
  the
• 16:12
  reason
• 16:12
  for
• 16:12
  hope,
• 16:13
  he
• 16:13
  said,
• 16:14
  and
• 16:14
  this
• 16:14
  has
• 16:14
  stuck
• 16:14
  with
• 16:14
  me,
• 16:15
  he
• 16:15
  said,
• 16:15
  God
• 16:16
  has
• 16:16
  an
• 16:16
  agenda.
• 16:17
  What
• 16:18
  do
• 16:18
  you
• 16:18
  say
• 16:18
  to
• 16:18
  that
• 16:18
  statement?
• 16:19
  I
• 16:19
  agree
• 16:19
  completely.
• 16:20
  Okay.
• 16:21
  I
• 16:21
  don't
• 16:22
  claim
• 16:22
  to
• 16:22
  know
• 16:22
  what
• 16:22
  that
• 16:23
  agenda
• 16:23
  is,
• 16:24
  only
• 16:25
  the
• 16:25
  little
• 16:25
  whiff
• 16:25
  that
• 16:26
  I
• 16:26
  glean,
• 16:28
  I
• 16:28
  would
• 16:28
  summarize
• 16:29
  is
• 16:29
  wake
• 16:29
  up
• 16:29
  in
• 16:30
  love.
• 16:32
  I
• 16:32
  think
• 16:33
  that
• 16:33
  covers
• 16:33
  it.
• 16:33
  It's
• 16:34
  beautiful.
• 16:36
  And
• 16:37
  if
• 16:37
  we
• 16:37
  just
• 16:38
  let
• 16:38
  that
• 16:38
  reverberate
• 16:39
  through
• 16:41
  and
• 16:41
  let
• 16:42
  it
• 16:42
  enter
• 16:43
  and
• 16:43
  go,
• 16:43
  okay,
• 16:44
  where
• 16:44
  am
• 16:45
  I
• 16:45
  blind?
• 16:46
  Where
• 16:47
  am
• 16:47
  I
• 16:47
  asleep?
• 16:48
  Where
• 16:48
  am
• 16:48
  I
• 16:48
  less
• 16:48
  than
• 16:49
  awake?
• 16:50
  What
• 16:50
  actually
• 16:51
  takes
• 16:52
  me
• 16:52
  away
• 16:53
  from
• 16:53
  being
• 16:53
  open
• 16:54
  hearted
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  awake
• 16:55
  in
• 16:55
  this
• 16:55
  now?
• 16:57
  So
• 16:57
  if
• 16:57
  we
• 16:57
  were
• 16:57
  to
• 16:58
  let
• 16:58
  that
• 16:58
  help
• 16:59
  us
• 16:59
  to
• 16:59
  take
• 16:59
  inventory,
• 17:01
  right?
• 17:02
  It
• 17:02
  is
• 17:02
  something
• 17:02
  that
• 17:02
  I
• 17:03
  do
• 17:03
  on
• 17:03
  a
• 17:03
  regular
• 17:03
  basis.
• 17:04
  Before
• 17:04
  I'm
• 17:04
  going
• 17:04
  into
• 17:05
  any
• 17:05
  retreat,
• 17:06
  I
• 17:07
  ask
• 17:07
  myself
• 17:07
  this
• 17:07
  question,
• 17:09
  is
• 17:10
  there
• 17:10
  anything
• 17:10
  that
• 17:10
  is
• 17:11
  taking
• 17:11
  me
• 17:11
  away
• 17:12
  in
• 17:12
  any
• 17:13
  tiny
• 17:13
  little
• 17:13
  minute
• 17:14
  or
• 17:14
  big
• 17:14
  way
• 17:15
  from
• 17:15
  being
• 17:15
  open
• 17:16
  hearted
• 17:16
  and
• 17:16
  awake
• 17:17
  in
• 17:17
  the
• 17:17
  now
• 17:18
  for
• 17:18
  my
• 17:18
  impact
• 17:18
  to
• 17:19
  be
• 17:19
  anything
• 17:19
  less
• 17:20
  than
• 17:20
  a
• 17:20
  blessing.
• 17:22
  And
• 17:22
  I
• 17:22
  write
• 17:22
  a
• 17:22
  list.
• 17:23
  This
• 17:23
  is
• 17:23
  my
• 17:23
  taking
• 17:24
  inventory
• 17:25
  and
• 17:25
  it's
• 17:26
  a
• 17:26
  fearless
• 17:26
  inventory,
• 17:28
  right?
• 17:29
  But
• 17:29
  my
• 17:29
  commitment
• 17:30
  is
• 17:30
  whatever
• 17:31
  goes
• 17:31
  down
• 17:32
  on
• 17:32
  that
• 17:32
  piece
• 17:32
  of
• 17:33
  paper,
• 17:33
  on
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  intimate.
• 17:33
  I'm
• 17:34
  going
• 17:34
  to
• 17:34
  be
• 17:34
  loving,
• 17:35
  I'm
• 17:36
  going
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  be
• 17:36
  kind
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  myself
• 17:38
  because
• 17:38
  I
• 17:38
  need
• 17:39
  that
• 17:39
  kindness
• 17:40
  and
• 17:40
  that
• 17:40
  forgiveness
• 17:41
  in
• 17:41
  advance.
• 17:43
  For
• 17:43
  my
• 17:44
  own
• 17:44
  human
• 17:45
  stumblings,
• 17:45
  the
• 17:46
  places
• 17:46
  where
• 17:47
  my
• 17:47
  awakening
• 17:48
  may
• 17:48
  not
• 17:48
  be
• 17:48
  total
• 17:49
  or
• 17:49
  complete
• 17:49
  or
• 17:50
  fully
• 17:50
  integrated
• 17:51
  or
• 17:51
  fully
• 17:51
  embodied.
• 17:53
  I
• 17:54
  need
• 17:55
  forgiveness
• 17:55
  and
• 17:56
  grace
• 17:57
  in
• 17:57
  the
• 17:57
  looking
• 17:58
  so
• 17:58
  that
• 17:58
  I
• 17:58
  can
• 17:58
  look.
• 18:00
  It's
• 18:00
  not
• 18:01
  so
• 18:01
  that
• 18:01
  I
• 18:01
  can
• 18:01
  just
• 18:01
  say,
• 18:02
  oh,
• 18:02
  they're
• 18:02
  there.
• 18:02
  No,
• 18:02
  it's
• 18:03
  so
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  can
• 18:03
  look.
• 18:05
  You
• 18:05
  can
• 18:06
  be
• 18:06
  fierce
• 18:08
  where
• 18:08
  you
• 18:08
  need
• 18:08
  to
• 18:09
  be,
• 18:09
  because
• 18:09
  we
• 18:09
  all
• 18:10
  need
• 18:10
  to
• 18:10
  be.
• 18:13
  It's
• 18:13
  like
• 18:13
  the
• 18:13
  tree
• 18:14
  of
• 18:14
  life
• 18:14
  says,
• 18:14
  you
• 18:15
  know,
• 18:15
  we
• 18:15
  need
• 18:15
  the
• 18:15
  mercy
• 18:16
  and
• 18:16
  the
• 18:17
  need
• 18:17
  to
• 18:17
  justice.
• 18:18
  We
• 18:18
  need
• 18:18
  the
• 18:19
  both.
• 18:20
  Yes.
• 18:22
  That's
• 18:22
  a
• 18:22
  beautiful
• 18:22
  question
• 18:23
  to
• 18:23
  ask
• 18:23
  before,
• 18:25
  well,
• 18:25
  almost
• 18:25
  any
• 18:26
  activity.
• 18:26
  I
• 18:27
  wrote
• 18:28
  that
• 18:28
  down
• 18:28
  and
• 18:29
  the
• 18:29
  words
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  took
• 18:30
  were,
• 18:30
  is
• 18:31
  there
• 18:31
  anything
• 18:31
  in
• 18:31
  the
• 18:31
  way
• 18:32
  of
• 18:32
  my
• 18:33
  showing
• 18:34
  up,
• 18:35
  being
• 18:36
  loving
• 18:36
  and
• 18:36
  being
• 18:36
  fully
• 18:37
  helpful?
• 18:37
  It's
• 18:38
  a
• 18:38
  beautiful
• 18:39
  Cohen
• 18:40
  for
• 18:40
  life.
• 18:41
  Yeah,
• 18:42
  well,
• 18:42
  it's
• 18:42
  a
• 18:42
  way
• 18:43
  just
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  take
• 18:43
  inventory
• 18:44
  and
• 18:44
  see
• 18:44
  where
• 18:44
  am
• 18:45
  I?
• 18:46
  And
• 18:46
  then
• 18:46
  there's
• 18:46
  a
• 18:47
  commitment
• 18:48
  to
• 18:48
  see.
• 18:50
  Okay,
• 18:51
  so
• 18:51
  how
• 18:51
  do
• 18:51
  we
• 18:51
  embrace
• 18:52
  where
• 18:52
  we
• 18:52
  are?
• 18:53
  Honestly,
• 18:54
  with
• 18:54
  loving
• 18:54
  kindness
• 18:55
  and
• 18:55
  compassion
• 18:56
  and
• 18:56
  mercy
• 18:57
  and
• 18:57
  then
• 18:58
  practice
• 18:58
  into
• 18:59
  those
• 18:59
  places
• 19:00
  is
• 19:01
  one
• 19:01
  of
• 19:01
  the
• 19:01
  things
• 19:01
  I
• 19:02
  see
• 19:02
  in
• 19:02
  all
• 19:03
  my
• 19:03
  years
• 19:03
  of
• 19:04
  working
• 19:04
  with
• 19:04
  people
• 19:04
  is
• 19:05
  that,
• 19:05
  you
• 19:06
  know,
• 19:06
  we
• 19:06
  all
• 19:07
  tend
• 19:07
  to
• 19:07
  apply
• 19:08
  our
• 19:08
  practice
• 19:09
  in
• 19:09
  the
• 19:10
  places
• 19:10
  where
• 19:10
  it
• 19:10
  feels
• 19:11
  good
• 19:13
  and
• 19:13
  we
• 19:13
  often
• 19:14
  don't
• 19:14
  apply
• 19:15
  our
• 19:15
  practice
• 19:16
  in
• 19:16
  the
• 19:16
  places
• 19:17
  that,
• 19:17
  where
• 19:17
  we
• 19:17
  most
• 19:17
  need
• 19:18
  to.
• 19:19
  And
• 19:19
  this
• 19:19
  is
• 19:19
  a
• 19:20
  curious
• 19:20
  phenomena
• 19:21
  that
• 19:22
  we
• 19:22
  know.
• 19:22
  We
• 19:22
  all
• 19:22
  have
• 19:23
  blind
• 19:23
  spots
• 19:23
  and
• 19:24
  things,
• 19:24
  places
• 19:24
  where
• 19:24
  we
• 19:25
  don't
• 19:25
  look.
• 19:27
  And
• 19:27
  I'm
• 19:28
  sure
• 19:28
  that
• 19:28
  people
• 19:29
  who
• 19:29
  hang
• 19:29
  around
• 19:30
  with
• 19:30
  me
• 19:30
  can
• 19:30
  say,
• 19:30
  yeah,
• 19:31
  Miranda's
• 19:31
  not
• 19:31
  looking
• 19:31
  at
• 19:32
  that
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  that
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  that
• 19:32
  she
• 19:33
  should
• 19:33
  look.
• 19:34
  So
• 19:34
  it's
• 19:34
  also
• 19:35
  good.
• 19:35
  Well,
• 19:35
  if
• 19:35
  you
• 19:35
  have
• 19:35
  good
• 19:36
  friends
• 19:37
  who
• 19:37
  know,
• 19:37
  you
• 19:37
  might
• 19:38
  be
• 19:38
  useful
• 19:38
  to
• 19:38
  ask
• 19:39
  them
• 19:39
  once
• 19:39
  in
• 19:39
  a
• 19:39
  while
• 19:40
  when
• 19:41
  you
• 19:41
  know
• 19:41
  and
• 19:41
  trust
• 19:42
  that
• 19:42
  they
• 19:42
  only
• 19:42
  have
• 19:43
  your
• 19:43
  good
• 19:43
  intent
• 19:43
  at
• 19:43
  heart?
• 19:44
  You
• 19:44
  know,
• 19:44
  is
• 19:45
  there
• 19:45
  anything
• 19:45
  you
• 19:45
  see
• 19:45
  me
• 19:46
  getting
• 19:46
  up
• 19:46
  to
• 19:47
  that
• 19:47
  seems
• 19:48
  to
• 19:48
  be
• 19:48
  taking
• 19:48
  away
• 19:49
  from
• 19:49
  me
• 19:50
  being
• 19:51
  as
• 19:51
  fully
• 19:51
  awake
• 19:52
  and
• 19:52
  open
• 19:52
  hearted
• 19:53
  in
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  now
• 19:53
  as
• 19:54
  possible?
• 19:54
  Anything
• 19:55
  that's
• 19:55
  a
• 19:55
  bit
• 19:55
  of
• 19:55
  a
• 19:55
  drag
• 19:56
  for
• 19:56
  you
• 19:56
  to
• 19:56
  have
• 19:57
  to
• 19:57
  deal
• 19:57
  with,
• 19:57
  that's
• 19:57
  coming
• 19:58
  out
• 19:58
  of
• 19:58
  me.
• 20:00
  Would
• 20:00
  we
• 20:00
  dare
• 20:01
  to
• 20:01
  ask
• 20:01
  the
• 20:02
  ones
• 20:02
  we
• 20:02
  love
• 20:02
  that
• 20:03
  question?
• 20:04
  And
• 20:04
  you're
• 20:04
  pointing
• 20:05
  to
• 20:05
  the
• 20:05
  beauty
• 20:05
  of
• 20:05
  a
• 20:06
  spiritual
• 20:07
  community,
• 20:08
  dear
• 20:09
  friends.
• 20:09
  One
• 20:09
  can.
• 20:10
  Spiritual
• 20:11
  friendship.
• 20:11
  Yeah,
• 20:12
  spiritual
• 20:12
  friendship.
• 20:14
  People
• 20:14
  on
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  path
• 20:15
  sharing
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  values
• 20:16
  of
• 20:16
  awakening
• 20:16
  and
• 20:17
  loving
• 20:17
  and
• 20:17
  growing
• 20:17
  up
• 20:18
  and
• 20:20
  supporting
• 20:20
  one
• 20:20
  another
• 20:21
  in
• 20:21
  it.
• 20:22
  And
• 20:22
  I
• 20:22
  think
• 20:23
  that's
• 20:23
  so
• 20:24
  important
• 20:24
  and
• 20:25
  I
• 20:25
  think
• 20:25
  it's
• 20:25
  more
• 20:25
  important
• 20:26
  than
• 20:26
  ever
• 20:26
  before.
• 20:27
  Because
• 20:29
  if
• 20:29
  we
• 20:29
  just
• 20:29
  look
• 20:30
  at
• 20:30
  our
• 20:30
  culture
• 20:31
  just
• 20:32
  in
• 20:32
  the
• 20:32
  last
• 20:32
  20
• 20:33
  years,
• 20:34
  all
• 20:34
  the
• 20:34
  technology
• 20:35
  that
• 20:35
  we're
• 20:35
  all
• 20:35
  using
• 20:36
  is
• 20:36
  forcing
• 20:37
  us
• 20:37
  all
• 20:37
  to
• 20:37
  multitask
• 20:38
  more
• 20:38
  than
• 20:38
  we
• 20:39
  ever
• 20:39
  have,
• 20:40
  more
• 20:40
  than
• 20:40
  is
• 20:40
  biologically
• 20:42
  good
• 20:43
  for
• 20:43
  our
• 20:43
  well
• 20:43
  being
• 20:44
  on
• 20:44
  every
• 20:44
  level.
• 20:45
  There's
• 20:46
  all
• 20:46
  the
• 20:46
  neuroscience.
• 20:46
  You
• 20:47
  probably
• 20:47
  know
• 20:47
  more
• 20:47
  about
• 20:47
  it
• 20:47
  than
• 20:48
  I
• 20:48
  do,
• 20:48
  Roger,
• 20:48
  about
• 20:49
  what
• 20:49
  multitasking
• 20:50
  does
• 20:51
  and
• 20:51
  how
• 20:51
  it
• 20:52
  diminishes
• 20:52
  our
• 20:53
  quality
• 20:53
  of
• 20:54
  functioning
• 20:54
  on
• 20:54
  so
• 20:55
  many
• 20:55
  levels.
• 20:56
  This
• 20:57
  is
• 20:57
  not
• 20:57
  actually
• 20:57
  natural.
• 20:58
  We're
• 20:58
  not
• 20:58
  yet
• 20:58
  adapted
• 20:59
  to
• 20:59
  it.
• 21:00
  And
• 21:00
  for
• 21:01
  spiritual
• 21:01
  practice,
• 21:02
  that's
• 21:02
  a
• 21:02
  disaster.
• 21:04
  All
• 21:04
  the
• 21:04
  great
• 21:04
  wisdom
• 21:05
  traditions
• 21:06
  have
• 21:06
  said
• 21:07
  we
• 21:07
  need
• 21:07
  to
• 21:07
  develop
• 21:07
  one
• 21:08
  pointed
• 21:08
  concentration.
• 21:10
  Well,
• 21:10
  we're
• 21:10
  all
• 21:10
  becoming
• 21:11
  ADHD
• 21:12
  because
• 21:12
  of
• 21:12
  the
• 21:12
  bouncing
• 21:13
  around
• 21:13
  that
• 21:14
  we're
• 21:16
  just
• 21:16
  operating
• 21:16
  out
• 21:17
  of.
• 21:18
  That
• 21:18
  isn't
• 21:18
  good
• 21:18
  for
• 21:18
  us.
• 21:19
  So
• 21:20
  we're
• 21:20
  up
• 21:20
  against
• 21:20
  that.
• 21:21
  We're
• 21:21
  up
• 21:21
  against
• 21:21
  social
• 21:22
  media
• 21:23
  misinformation
• 21:24
  being
• 21:24
  bombarded
• 21:25
  by
• 21:25
  so
• 21:26
  much.
• 21:27
  Everyone
• 21:27
  I
• 21:27
  know
• 21:28
  gets
• 21:28
  more
• 21:29
  emails
• 21:29
  than
• 21:29
  they
• 21:29
  can
• 21:30
  handle.
• 21:31
  And
• 21:32
  so
• 21:32
  some
• 21:32
  people
• 21:33
  stop
• 21:33
  using
• 21:33
  email
• 21:33
  and
• 21:34
  just
• 21:34
  text
• 21:34
  one
• 21:34
  another
• 21:35
  now.
• 21:35
  And
• 21:36
  that's
• 21:36
  come
• 21:36
  way
• 21:37
  out
• 21:37
  of
• 21:37
  control.
• 21:38
  And
• 21:38
  so
• 21:39
  there's
• 21:39
  this
• 21:39
  bombardment
• 21:40
  and
• 21:40
  lack
• 21:40
  of
• 21:41
  space
• 21:42
  that
• 21:42
  makes
• 21:43
  it
• 21:43
  harder
• 21:44
  to
• 21:44
  stay
• 21:46
  intimately
• 21:46
  in
• 21:47
  touch
• 21:47
  with
• 21:47
  what's
• 21:48
  really
• 21:48
  going
• 21:48
  on
• 21:49
  with
• 21:49
  where
• 21:50
  we
• 21:50
  are,
• 21:50
  where
• 21:50
  we're
• 21:51
  abiding.
• 21:52
  So
• 21:52
  I
• 21:52
  think
• 21:53
  we
• 21:53
  need
• 21:55
  community,
• 21:56
  we
• 21:56
  need
• 21:56
  one
• 21:56
  another.
• 21:57
  We
• 21:57
  need
• 21:58
  the
• 21:58
  cultivation
• 21:59
  of
• 21:59
  that
• 21:59
  kind
• 21:59
  of
• 21:59
  spiritual
• 22:00
  friendship
• 22:01
  to
• 22:01
  support
• 22:01
  one
• 22:01
  another
• 22:02
  in
• 22:02
  our
• 22:02
  practice
• 22:03
  as
• 22:03
  much
• 22:04
  as
• 22:04
  possible.
• 22:05
  Yeah,
• 22:06
  and
• 22:07
  you're
• 22:07
  emphasizing
• 22:08
  now
• 22:08
  the
• 22:09
  several
• 22:09
  things.
• 22:10
  One,
• 22:10
  just
• 22:11
  the
• 22:11
  value
• 22:11
  of
• 22:11
  spiritual
• 22:12
  friends
• 22:12
  or
• 22:13
  people
• 22:14
  sharing
• 22:15
  those
• 22:15
  values
• 22:16
  of
• 22:16
  waking
• 22:16
  up
• 22:17
  and
• 22:17
  growing
• 22:17
  and
• 22:17
  loving,
• 22:18
  et
• 22:18
  cetera.
• 22:19
  And
• 22:19
  you're
• 22:19
  also
• 22:20
  speaking
• 22:21
  to
• 22:21
  the
• 22:21
  over
• 22:22
  the
• 22:22
  busyness
• 22:23
  of
• 22:23
  our
• 22:23
  life.
• 22:23
  And
• 22:23
  I'm
• 22:24
  struck
• 22:24
  by
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  issues
• 22:26
  you're
• 22:27
  describing
• 22:27
  here
• 22:28
  of
• 22:28
  our
• 22:28
  hyperactive
• 22:31
  ADHD
• 22:32
  lifestyles
• 22:32
  these
• 22:33
  days
• 22:33
  and
• 22:33
  the
• 22:34
  transmission
• 22:34
  you
• 22:35
  got
• 22:35
  in
• 22:35
  Ramana
• 22:36
  Maharshi's
• 22:36
  cave.
• 22:38
  And
• 22:38
  perhaps
• 22:38
  you
• 22:38
  can
• 22:39
  share
• 22:39
  that
• 22:39
  because
• 22:40
  it
• 22:40
  was
• 22:40
  a
• 22:40
  pretty.
• 22:41
  Almost
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  opposite.
• 22:43
  Yeah.
• 22:44
  Be
• 22:44
  nothing,
• 22:45
  do
• 22:46
  nothing,
• 22:47
  get
• 22:47
  nothing,
• 22:48
  become
• 22:49
  nothing,
• 22:50
  seek
• 22:50
  for
• 22:51
  nothing,
• 22:52
  relinquish
• 22:52
  nothing,
• 22:54
  be
• 22:54
  as
• 22:54
  you
• 22:55
  are,
• 22:56
  rest
• 22:57
  in
• 22:57
  God.
• 23:00
  You
• 23:00
  can
• 23:01
  feel
• 23:01
  the
• 23:02
  letting
• 23:02
  go
• 23:03
  that
• 23:03
  that
• 23:03
  induces.
• 23:05
  So
• 23:05
  it's
• 23:06
  a
• 23:06
  similar.
• 23:06
  I
• 23:07
  mean,
• 23:07
  how
• 23:07
  I
• 23:07
  understand
• 23:08
  that
• 23:08
  now
• 23:10
  it's
• 23:10
  simultaneously
• 23:12
  just
• 23:12
  a
• 23:13
  beautiful.
• 23:13
  Just
• 23:13
  like
• 23:13
  unhooking.
• 23:15
  An
• 23:15
  unhooking
• 23:16
  of
• 23:16
  all
• 23:16
  the
• 23:17
  mechanisms
• 23:17
  of
• 23:18
  ego
• 23:18
  consciousness
• 23:19
  separate
• 23:19
  somebodyness
• 23:20
  that
• 23:21
  misunderstands
• 23:22
  everything
• 23:22
  and
• 23:23
  is
• 23:24
  interfering
• 23:24
  with
• 23:24
  the
• 23:25
  divine
• 23:25
  circuitry
• 23:27
  and
• 23:27
  hiding
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  just
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  simple
• 23:29
  rest
• 23:31
  in
• 23:31
  God,
• 23:32
  where
• 23:33
  everything
• 23:33
  is
• 23:33
  restored
• 23:35
  and
• 23:36
  restored,
• 23:37
  resets
• 23:37
  us
• 23:37
  to
• 23:38
  our
• 23:38
  original
• 23:38
  factory
• 23:39
  default
• 23:39
  setting.
• 23:40
  And
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  use
• 23:40
  that
• 23:40
  myself,
• 23:42
  you
• 23:42
  know,
• 23:42
  when
• 23:42
  I
• 23:43
  notice
• 23:44
  tension
• 23:44
  contraction
• 23:45
  where
• 23:46
  there's
• 23:46
  a
• 23:46
  reconstellation
• 23:47
  into
• 23:48
  an
• 23:48
  ego
• 23:48
  mechanism
• 23:50
  in
• 23:50
  order
• 23:50
  to
• 23:51
  respond,
• 23:52
  tackle
• 23:52
  something.
• 23:54
  Sometimes
• 23:54
  I
• 23:54
  just
• 23:54
  lie
• 23:55
  on
• 23:55
  my
• 23:55
  carpet
• 23:56
  in
• 23:56
  my
• 23:57
  office
• 23:57
  here
• 23:57
  and
• 23:57
  I
• 23:58
  just
• 23:58
  come
• 23:58
  back
• 23:59
  to
• 23:59
  being
• 23:59
  do
• 24:00
  nothing,
• 24:00
  get
• 24:00
  nothing.
• 24:01
  And
• 24:01
  it's
• 24:01
  just
• 24:01
  like,
• 24:01
  oh.
• 24:02
  But
• 24:03
  I
• 24:03
  also
• 24:03
  understand
• 24:05
  it's
• 24:05
  an
• 24:05
  ongoing
• 24:06
  practice.
• 24:06
  It's
• 24:07
  the
• 24:07
  practice
• 24:07
  of
• 24:08
  what
• 24:08
  I
• 24:08
  call
• 24:08
  ego
• 24:08
  relaxation.
• 24:10
  Relaxing
• 24:12
  the
• 24:12
  mechanism
• 24:13
  that
• 24:13
  thinks
• 24:14
  it's
• 24:14
  the
• 24:14
  doer,
• 24:15
  it's
• 24:15
  an
• 24:15
  overdeveloped
• 24:16
  muscle
• 24:16
  we
• 24:17
  all
• 24:17
  have.
• 24:18
  Relaxing
• 24:19
  the
• 24:20
  energy
• 24:21
  within
• 24:22
  our
• 24:22
  ego
• 24:22
  that
• 24:23
  thinks
• 24:23
  it
• 24:23
  has
• 24:23
  to
• 24:24
  get
• 24:25
  the
• 24:25
  grasping,
• 24:26
  I
• 24:26
  need
• 24:27
  to
• 24:27
  get
• 24:27
  this,
• 24:27
  I
• 24:27
  need
• 24:27
  to
• 24:28
  get
• 24:28
  there,
• 24:28
  I
• 24:28
  need
• 24:28
  to
• 24:29
  get
• 24:29
  that.
• 24:31
  The
• 24:31
  becoming.
• 24:32
  There's
• 24:33
  someone
• 24:33
  who
• 24:33
  thinks
• 24:34
  it
• 24:34
  needs
• 24:34
  to
• 24:34
  become
• 24:34
  something
• 24:36
  in
• 24:36
  order
• 24:37
  for
• 24:37
  something
• 24:37
  to
• 24:38
  happen,
• 24:39
  you
• 24:39
  know,
• 24:40
  or
• 24:40
  seek
• 24:40
  for
• 24:41
  something,
• 24:41
  or
• 24:42
  it
• 24:42
  has
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  have
• 24:43
  a
• 24:43
  goal,
• 24:43
  or
• 24:44
  it
• 24:44
  has
• 24:44
  to
• 24:45
  have
• 24:45
  some
• 24:45
  outward
• 24:45
  motion,
• 24:46
  or
• 24:46
  it
• 24:46
  has
• 24:46
  to
• 24:47
  get
• 24:47
  rid
• 24:47
  of
• 24:47
  something
• 24:47
  that
• 24:48
  it
• 24:48
  believes.
• 24:48
  Should
• 24:49
  all
• 24:49
  this
• 24:49
  innocent
• 24:49
  misunderstanding
• 24:50
  of
• 24:51
  our
• 24:51
  separate
• 24:51
  somebodyness.
• 24:53
  Come
• 24:53
  on
• 24:53
  darling,
• 24:54
  let's
• 24:54
  just
• 24:54
  come
• 24:54
  back
• 24:55
  down
• 24:55
  to
• 24:55
  reality,
• 24:55
  shall
• 24:56
  we?
• 24:56
  So
• 24:56
  let's
• 24:57
  settle
• 24:57
  down
• 24:58
  into
• 24:59
  the
• 24:59
  deeper
• 24:59
  truth,
• 25:01
  which
• 25:01
  is
• 25:01
  no,
• 25:02
  we
• 25:02
  are
• 25:02
  all,
• 25:03
  all
• 25:03
  within
• 25:03
  and
• 25:04
  part
• 25:04
  of
• 25:04
  God
• 25:05
  always.
• 25:06
  Even
• 25:06
  when
• 25:07
  that's
• 25:07
  not
• 25:07
  our
• 25:07
  felt
• 25:08
  reality,
• 25:08
  that's
• 25:09
  still
• 25:09
  what's
• 25:09
  so.
• 25:10
  But
• 25:10
  it's
• 25:10
  where
• 25:11
  we
• 25:11
  get
• 25:11
  to
• 25:13
  be
• 25:13
  restored
• 25:14
  to
• 25:15
  a
• 25:15
  deeper,
• 25:15
  purer
• 25:16
  platform
• 25:18
  from
• 25:18
  which
• 25:19
  we
• 25:19
  can
• 25:19
  open
• 25:19
  our
• 25:20
  eyes
• 25:21
  into
• 25:21
  the
• 25:21
  ordinary
• 25:23
  and
• 25:25
  see
• 25:25
  what
• 25:25
  can
• 25:26
  emerge
• 25:27
  rather
• 25:27
  than
• 25:28
  tense
• 25:28
  up
• 25:28
  and
• 25:29
  stress
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  struggle
• 25:30
  and
• 25:30
  push
• 25:31
  headbutt
• 25:32
  into
• 25:32
  life.
• 25:34
  This
• 25:35
  is
• 25:35
  such
• 25:35
  a
• 25:36
  different
• 25:36
  perspective
• 25:37
  from
• 25:38
  conventional
• 25:38
  understanding
• 25:39
  and
• 25:39
  certainly
• 25:39
  from
• 25:39
  my
• 25:40
  own
• 25:40
  upbringing
• 25:41
  and
• 25:41
  understanding
• 25:43
  which
• 25:43
  had
• 25:44
  no
• 25:45
  knowledge
• 25:46
  of
• 25:46
  the
• 25:46
  possibility
• 25:48
  of
• 25:48
  letting
• 25:49
  go,
• 25:50
  trusting
• 25:50
  in
• 25:50
  grace.
• 25:51
  But
• 25:52
  it
• 25:52
  was
• 25:53
  all
• 25:53
  about,
• 25:53
  and
• 25:54
  our
• 25:54
  conventional
• 25:55
  training
• 25:55
  is
• 25:55
  all
• 25:55
  about
• 25:56
  refining
• 25:57
  motivation,
• 25:59
  honing
• 25:59
  the
• 25:59
  ego,
• 26:00
  hon,
• 26:01
  honing
• 26:01
  one
• 26:01
  separate
• 26:02
  self
• 26:02
  sense
• 26:03
  and
• 26:03
  the
• 26:05
  emphasis
• 26:05
  on
• 26:06
  becoming
• 26:07
  effective
• 26:07
  agent
• 26:07
  in
• 26:08
  the
• 26:08
  world.
• 26:08
  So
• 26:09
  this
• 26:09
  is
• 26:09
  a
• 26:09
  very,
• 26:10
  very
• 26:10
  different
• 26:11
  perspective
• 26:11
  and
• 26:12
  understanding
• 26:13
  of
• 26:13
  human
• 26:13
  nature
• 26:14
  and
• 26:14
  possibilities.
• 26:15
  Yeah,
• 26:17
  I
• 26:17
  suppose
• 26:17
  so.
• 26:18
  I
• 26:19
  mean
• 26:19
  it's
• 26:19
  definitely
• 26:20
  the
• 26:20
  end,
• 26:20
  the
• 26:21
  flip
• 26:21
  opposite
• 26:22
  of
• 26:22
  everything.
• 26:23
  You
• 26:24
  know,
• 26:24
  conventional
• 26:26
  worldly
• 26:27
  would
• 26:27
  say
• 26:28
  try
• 26:28
  harder,
• 26:28
  do
• 26:29
  more,
• 26:29
  become
• 26:29
  more,
• 26:30
  effort
• 26:30
  more.
• 26:32
  Get
• 26:32
  rid
• 26:32
  of
• 26:33
  the
• 26:33
  things
• 26:33
  that
• 26:33
  aren't
• 26:34
  right.
• 26:34
  You
• 26:34
  know,
• 26:35
  it's
• 26:35
  a
• 26:35
  complete
• 26:35
  flip
• 26:36
  and
• 26:36
  it
• 26:36
  reminds
• 26:37
  me
• 26:37
  of,
• 26:37
  I
• 26:37
  don't
• 26:38
  know
• 26:38
  whether
• 26:38
  it
• 26:38
  was
• 26:38
  Gurdjieff
• 26:40
  or
• 26:40
  someone
• 26:40
  else
• 26:40
  who
• 26:41
  said
• 26:41
  that
• 26:41
  usually
• 26:42
  when
• 26:42
  we
• 26:42
  turn
• 26:43
  a
• 26:43
  commonly
• 26:43
  accepted
• 26:44
  worldly
• 26:44
  idea
• 26:45
  180
• 26:45
  degrees
• 26:46
  on
• 26:46
  its
• 26:46
  head,
• 26:46
  we
• 26:46
  usually
• 26:47
  land
• 26:47
  closer
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  the
• 26:48
  truth.
• 26:49
  And
• 26:50
  so
• 26:50
  it
• 26:50
  is
• 26:50
  very
• 26:50
  much
• 26:51
  a
• 26:51
  koan
• 26:51
  in
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  way
• 26:52
  of
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  Zen
• 26:53
  tradition.
• 26:53
  And
• 26:55
  who
• 26:55
  knows
• 26:55
  whether
• 26:56
  you
• 26:56
  know,
• 26:56
  the
• 26:57
  great
• 26:57
  being
• 26:58
  that
• 26:58
  taught
• 26:58
  me
• 26:58
  Zen
• 26:59
  meditation
• 26:59
  in
• 26:59
  my
• 27:00
  20s,
• 27:00
  Sister
• 27:00
  Eileen
• 27:01
  McKins
• 27:02
  had
• 27:02
  primed
• 27:02
  that
• 27:03
  pump,
• 27:04
  but
• 27:04
  also
• 27:05
  A
• 27:05
  Course
• 27:05
  in
• 27:05
  Miracles
• 27:06
  had
• 27:06
  primed
• 27:06
  that
• 27:07
  pump.
• 27:08
  You
• 27:08
  know,
• 27:08
  I
• 27:08
  woke
• 27:09
  this
• 27:09
  morning
• 27:09
  with
• 27:09
  a
• 27:10
  memory,
• 27:10
  something
• 27:10
  I'd
• 27:10
  forgotten
• 27:11
  about,
• 27:11
  but
• 27:11
  I
• 27:12
  want
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  share
• 27:12
  it
• 27:12
  with
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  and
• 27:13
  probably
• 27:13
  because
• 27:13
  you're
• 27:13
  a
• 27:13
  Course
• 27:14
  in
• 27:14
  Miracle
• 27:14
  student.
• 27:15
  Roger
• 27:16
  that.
• 27:16
  I
• 27:16
  was
• 27:17
  starting
• 27:17
  to
• 27:17
  really
• 27:17
  dig
• 27:18
  into
• 27:18
  working
• 27:18
  with
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  Course
• 27:19
  in
• 27:19
  Miracles
• 27:20
  in
• 27:20
  my
• 27:20
  early
• 27:21
  20s.
• 27:22
  And
• 27:22
  I
• 27:22
  remember
• 27:22
  the
• 27:23
  first
• 27:23
  time
• 27:23
  I
• 27:23
  went
• 27:23
  through
• 27:23
  the
• 27:24
  workbook
• 27:24
  and
• 27:24
  there
• 27:25
  is
• 27:25
  a
• 27:25
  lesson
• 27:25
  in
• 27:25
  the
• 27:25
  workbook
• 27:27
  that
• 27:27
  says,
• 27:27
  I
• 27:28
  rest
• 27:28
  in
• 27:28
  God.
• 27:29
  Ah,
• 27:30
  yes,
• 27:30
  right.
• 27:31
  And
• 27:31
  you
• 27:31
  know,
• 27:32
  it's
• 27:32
  beautiful
• 27:33
  and
• 27:33
  it's.
• 27:33
  I
• 27:34
  mean,
• 27:34
  if
• 27:34
  you
• 27:34
  read
• 27:35
  the
• 27:35
  actual
• 27:35
  text
• 27:36
  of
• 27:36
  that
• 27:36
  lesson,
• 27:36
  it
• 27:37
  is
• 27:37
  pure
• 27:38
  poetry.
• 27:38
  It
• 27:39
  is
• 27:39
  saying
• 27:39
  things
• 27:40
  just
• 27:40
  like
• 27:41
  medicine
• 27:42
  upon
• 27:42
  a
• 27:42
  soul.
• 27:43
  It's
• 27:43
  saying,
• 27:44
  you
• 27:44
  know,
• 27:44
  every
• 27:45
  time
• 27:46
  you
• 27:46
  rest
• 27:46
  in
• 27:47
  God,
• 27:48
  a
• 27:48
  tired
• 27:49
  mind
• 27:49
  is
• 27:49
  suddenly
• 27:50
  made
• 27:50
  glad.
• 27:51
  The
• 27:51
  bird
• 27:52
  begins
• 27:52
  to
• 27:52
  sing
• 27:53
  again,
• 27:53
  the
• 27:54
  stream,
• 27:54
  long
• 27:55
  dry,
• 27:55
  begins
• 27:56
  to
• 27:56
  flow,
• 27:57
  the
• 27:57
  path
• 27:58
  opens
• 27:58
  up
• 27:59
  and
• 27:59
  you
• 27:59
  find
• 27:59
  it.
• 28:00
  As
• 28:00
  you
• 28:00
  walk
• 28:00
  the
• 28:01
  path,
• 28:01
  it
• 28:01
  just
• 28:02
  becomes
• 28:02
  lighter
• 28:02
  and
• 28:03
  easier
• 28:03
  Every
• 28:04
  time
• 28:04
  you
• 28:05
  rest,
• 28:05
  you
• 28:05
  rest
• 28:06
  in
• 28:06
  God
• 28:06
  for
• 28:07
  everyone.
• 28:08
  And
• 28:08
  it's
• 28:08
  so
• 28:09
  beautiful
• 28:10
  and
• 28:10
  poetic
• 28:10
  and
• 28:10
  true.
• 28:11
  But
• 28:11
  I
• 28:11
  remember,
• 28:12
  Kay,
• 28:12
  I
• 28:12
  would
• 28:13
  always
• 28:13
  do
• 28:13
  the
• 28:13
  lesson
• 28:14
  first
• 28:14
  thing
• 28:14
  in
• 28:14
  the
• 28:14
  morning
• 28:15
  and
• 28:15
  then
• 28:16
  I
• 28:16
  would
• 28:16
  try
• 28:16
  and
• 28:17
  be
• 28:17
  a
• 28:17
  good
• 28:18
  little
• 28:18
  Course
• 28:18
  in
• 28:18
  Miracle
• 28:19
  student.
• 28:19
  And
• 28:19
  often
• 28:20
  a
• 28:21
  course
• 28:21
  in
• 28:21
  miracles
• 28:21
  asks
• 28:22
  you,
• 28:22
  okay,
• 28:22
  three
• 28:23
  times
• 28:23
  a
• 28:23
  day
• 28:23
  or
• 28:24
  on
• 28:24
  the
• 28:24
  hour,
• 28:25
  come
• 28:25
  back
• 28:25
  to
• 28:26
  this.
• 28:26
  And
• 28:27
  inevitably,
• 28:27
  I
• 28:28
  mean,
• 28:28
  it's
• 28:28
  very
• 28:28
  humbling
• 28:29
  because
• 28:29
  you
• 28:29
  just
• 28:29
  completely
• 28:30
  forget.
• 28:31
  And
• 28:31
  I
• 28:32
  remember
• 28:32
  driving
• 28:33
  with
• 28:33
  my
• 28:33
  first
• 28:33
  husband
• 28:34
  down
• 28:35
  the
• 28:35
  freeway
• 28:35
  in
• 28:36
  England.
• 28:36
  We
• 28:36
  were
• 28:36
  going
• 28:36
  to
• 28:37
  visit
• 28:37
  his
• 28:37
  mother.
• 28:37
  It's
• 28:38
  a
• 28:38
  two
• 28:38
  hour
• 28:38
  drive
• 28:39
  and
• 28:39
  he
• 28:39
  and
• 28:40
  I
• 28:40
  are
• 28:40
  talking,
• 28:40
  what's
• 28:41
  the
• 28:41
  lesson
• 28:41
  again?
• 28:41
  We'd
• 28:42
  both
• 28:42
  forgotten
• 28:43
  and
• 28:44
  we
• 28:44
  back
• 28:44
  and
• 28:45
  forthing
• 28:45
  and
• 28:45
  we'd
• 28:45
  come
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  the
• 28:46
  conclusion
• 28:46
  it
• 28:46
  was
• 28:47
  something
• 28:47
  about
• 28:47
  rest
• 28:47
  and
• 28:48
  something
• 28:48
  about
• 28:48
  God.
• 28:49
  But
• 28:50
  we
• 28:50
  couldn't
• 28:50
  for
• 28:50
  the
• 28:50
  life
• 28:51
  of
• 28:51
  ourselves
• 28:51
  remember.
• 28:53
  And
• 28:53
  we
• 28:53
  were
• 28:54
  joking
• 28:54
  around
• 28:54
  going,
• 28:54
  oh,
• 28:55
  God's
• 28:55
  having
• 28:56
  a
• 28:56
  rest.
• 28:56
  Where's
• 28:57
  the
• 28:57
  rest
• 28:57
  of
• 28:57
  God?
• 28:57
  I'm
• 28:58
  exhausted,
• 28:58
  I
• 28:58
  need
• 28:59
  a
• 28:59
  rest.
• 29:00
  We're
• 29:00
  playing
• 29:01
  around
• 29:01
  screaming
• 29:02
  with
• 29:02
  laughter,
• 29:02
  and
• 29:03
  then
• 29:03
  finally
• 29:04
  we're
• 29:04
  almost
• 29:04
  pulling
• 29:05
  into
• 29:05
  her
• 29:05
  driveway
• 29:06
  and
• 29:06
  we
• 29:07
  looked
• 29:07
  at
• 29:07
  each
• 29:07
  other.
• 29:08
  I
• 29:08
  rest
• 29:08
  in
• 29:09
  God.
• 29:10
  It
• 29:10
  took
• 29:10
  us
• 29:11
  two
• 29:11
  hours
• 29:12
  to
• 29:12
  remember
• 29:13
  something
• 29:14
  so
• 29:15
  exquisite,
• 29:16
  pure,
• 29:17
  direct
• 29:18
  and
• 29:18
  utterly
• 29:19
  simple.
• 29:20
  And
• 29:20
  it
• 29:20
  was
• 29:21
  so
• 29:21
  wonderful.
• 29:21
  It
• 29:21
  was
• 29:21
  such
• 29:22
  a
• 29:22
  powerful,
• 29:22
  positive
• 29:23
  confrontation
• 29:24
  of
• 29:25
  how
• 29:25
  come
• 29:25
  I
• 29:26
  couldn't
• 29:26
  remember
• 29:27
  that?
• 29:27
  It
• 29:28
  really
• 29:28
  helped
• 29:28
  me
• 29:29
  look
• 29:29
  at
• 29:29
  my
• 29:29
  resistance.
• 29:30
  And
• 29:31
  it
• 29:31
  also
• 29:31
  made
• 29:32
  me
• 29:32
  want
• 29:32
  to
• 29:32
  cultivate
• 29:33
  the
• 29:33
  will,
• 29:34
  the
• 29:34
  willingness.
• 29:36
  So
• 29:37
  this
• 29:37
  is
• 29:37
  part
• 29:37
  of
• 29:37
  what
• 29:37
  you
• 29:37
  talk
• 29:38
  about,
• 29:38
  Roger,
• 29:38
  about.
• 29:39
  There
• 29:39
  is
• 29:40
  a
• 29:40
  part
• 29:40
  we
• 29:40
  have
• 29:41
  to
• 29:41
  play
• 29:41
  in
• 29:42
  the
• 29:42
  showing
• 29:43
  up
• 29:43
  for
• 29:43
  a
• 29:44
  practice
• 29:44
  that
• 29:45
  requires
• 29:46
  getting
• 29:47
  to
• 29:47
  it,
• 29:47
  remembering
• 29:48
  it,
• 29:48
  applying
• 29:49
  it,
• 29:49
  you
• 29:49
  know,
• 29:49
  coming
• 29:50
  back
• 29:50
  to
• 29:50
  it,
• 29:51
  sticking
• 29:52
  with
• 29:52
  it
• 29:53
  even
• 29:53
  when
• 29:53
  we
• 29:53
  don't
• 29:53
  feel
• 29:54
  like
• 29:54
  it,
• 29:54
  understanding
• 29:55
  what's
• 29:55
  going
• 29:56
  on
• 29:56
  in
• 29:56
  our
• 29:56
  resistance
• 29:57
  and
• 29:57
  not
• 29:58
  letting
• 29:58
  our
• 29:58
  resistance
• 29:59
  just
• 29:59
  win.
• 30:00
  So
• 30:00
  from
• 30:00
  that
• 30:01
  day
• 30:01
  onwards,
• 30:01
  I
• 30:01
  took
• 30:01
  to
• 30:02
  writing
• 30:02
  the
• 30:02
  Course
• 30:02
  in
• 30:02
  Miracles
• 30:03
  lesson
• 30:03
  on
• 30:04
  my
• 30:04
  wrist.
• 30:06
  And
• 30:06
  even
• 30:06
  though
• 30:06
  as
• 30:07
  the
• 30:07
  day
• 30:07
  wore
• 30:07
  on,
• 30:08
  it
• 30:08
  would
• 30:08
  get
• 30:09
  harder
• 30:09
  and
• 30:09
  harder
• 30:10
  to
• 30:10
  read,
• 30:11
  nevertheless
• 30:12
  it
• 30:12
  was
• 30:12
  the
• 30:12
  action
• 30:13
  of
• 30:13
  I'm
• 30:14
  writing
• 30:14
  this
• 30:14
  on
• 30:14
  my
• 30:14
  hand
• 30:15
  because
• 30:15
  I
• 30:15
  want
• 30:15
  to
• 30:15
  remember
• 30:16
  I
• 30:17
  want
• 30:17
  to
• 30:18
  remember
• 30:18
  this
• 30:19
  two
• 30:19
  minutes
• 30:20
  on
• 30:20
  the
• 30:20
  hour
• 30:21
  where
• 30:21
  I
• 30:21
  marinate
• 30:22
  back
• 30:22
  in
• 30:22
  this
• 30:23
  reality,
• 30:23
  this
• 30:24
  invitation.
• 30:25
  I
• 30:25
  really
• 30:25
  look
• 30:25
  back
• 30:26
  with
• 30:26
  a
• 30:26
  tremendous
• 30:26
  affection
• 30:28
  and
• 30:28
  gratitude
• 30:29
  on
• 30:29
  that
• 30:29
  time
• 30:30
  and
• 30:30
  on
• 30:30
  the
• 30:31
  arising
• 30:31
  of
• 30:31
  that
• 30:32
  willingness
• 30:33
  in
• 30:33
  the.
• 30:33
  That
• 30:34
  I'm
• 30:34
  sure
• 30:34
  prime
• 30:34
  the
• 30:35
  pump,
• 30:36
  you
• 30:36
  know,
• 30:37
  for
• 30:37
  further
• 30:37
  realizations
• 30:38
  and
• 30:39
  things.
• 30:39
  And
• 30:40
  there's
• 30:40
  that,
• 30:40
  that
• 30:40
  paradox
• 30:41
  of
• 30:41
  that.
• 30:42
  How
• 30:42
  can
• 30:42
  we
• 30:42
  figure
• 30:42
  this
• 30:42
  out?
• 30:43
  It's
• 30:43
  a
• 30:43
  polarity.
• 30:44
  But
• 30:44
  being,
• 30:45
  resting
• 30:46
  in
• 30:46
  God
• 30:46
  and
• 30:47
  then
• 30:47
  becoming.
• 30:48
  Yeah,
• 30:49
  God
• 30:49
  wants
• 30:49
  us
• 30:49
  to
• 30:49
  be.
• 30:50
  That's
• 30:50
  right.
• 30:51
  Therein
• 30:51
  lies
• 30:52
  the.
• 30:52
  The
• 30:52
  alchemy
• 30:53
  or
• 30:53
  the
• 30:53
  rub
• 30:53
  or
• 30:53
  the
• 30:53
  mystery,
• 30:54
  or
• 30:54
  what
• 30:55
  it
• 30:55
  means
• 30:55
  to
• 30:55
  be
• 30:55
  human.
• 30:56
  Absolutely.
• 30:57
  And
• 30:57
  the
• 30:58
  mystery
• 30:59
  of.
• 31:00
  And
• 31:00
  we
• 31:01
  see
• 31:01
  it.
• 31:01
  Well,
• 31:02
  I
• 31:02
  feel
• 31:02
  that
• 31:02
  when
• 31:03
  I
• 31:03
  look
• 31:03
  at
• 31:03
  these
• 31:03
  Tibetan
• 31:04
  Yubyong
• 31:05
  paintings
• 31:06
  of
• 31:06
  everything
• 31:07
  and
• 31:07
  nothing,
• 31:07
  making
• 31:08
  love
• 31:08
  to
• 31:08
  itself,
• 31:09
  being
• 31:10
  and
• 31:10
  becoming
• 31:11
  emptiness,
• 31:12
  fullness.
• 31:13
  Our
• 31:14
  part,
• 31:14
  the
• 31:15
  mysteries
• 31:15
  part,
• 31:16
  is
• 31:16
  this
• 31:16
  divine
• 31:17
  dance.
• 31:19
  But
• 31:19
  here
• 31:19
  we
• 31:19
  are,
• 31:20
  I
• 31:20
  mean,
• 31:21
  right
• 31:21
  now,
• 31:21
  here
• 31:22
  we
• 31:22
  are,
• 31:22
  all
• 31:22
  of
• 31:22
  us,
• 31:23
  sort
• 31:23
  of
• 31:24
  in
• 31:24
  our
• 31:24
  own
• 31:24
  way,
• 31:25
  dedicated
• 31:25
  to
• 31:27
  our
• 31:27
  own
• 31:27
  practice,
• 31:28
  our
• 31:28
  own
• 31:28
  path,
• 31:29
  the
• 31:30
  ongoing
• 31:30
  process
• 31:31
  of
• 31:31
  learning
• 31:33
  what's
• 31:33
  meaningful
• 31:34
  and
• 31:34
  how
• 31:35
  to
• 31:35
  be
• 31:35
  the
• 31:35
  most
• 31:36
  pure,
• 31:36
  noble
• 31:37
  human
• 31:37
  being
• 31:38
  we
• 31:38
  can
• 31:38
  be
• 31:39
  in
• 31:40
  ways
• 31:40
  that
• 31:40
  are
• 31:41
  beneficial
• 31:41
  and
• 31:42
  beautiful
• 31:42
  and
• 31:42
  joyful.
• 31:45
  Grace
• 31:46
  has
• 31:46
  been
• 31:46
  so
• 31:47
  central
• 31:47
  to
• 31:47
  your
• 31:49
  understanding
• 31:50
  of
• 31:50
  life,
• 31:51
  your
• 31:51
  teaching,
• 31:52
  your
• 31:52
  way
• 31:52
  of
• 31:52
  being,
• 31:54
  and
• 31:54
  I'm
• 31:55
  struck
• 31:55
  by
• 31:58
  that.
• 31:58
  It's
• 31:59
  part
• 31:59
  of
• 31:59
  a
• 31:59
  whole
• 32:00
  understanding
• 32:00
  of
• 32:01
  reality
• 32:01
  for
• 32:01
  you
• 32:02
  that
• 32:02
  the
• 32:02
  divine,
• 32:03
  the
• 32:03
  dao,
• 32:05
  whatever
• 32:05
  you
• 32:05
  want
• 32:05
  to
• 32:05
  call
• 32:06
  it,
• 32:06
  is
• 32:07
  beneficent
• 32:07
  in
• 32:08
  some
• 32:08
  way.
• 32:08
  And
• 32:09
  you've
• 32:09
  decided
• 32:10
  your
• 32:10
  answer
• 32:11
  to
• 32:11
  Einstein's
• 32:12
  question,
• 32:12
  is
• 32:12
  the
• 32:12
  universe
• 32:13
  beneficent?
• 32:14
  Is
• 32:14
  yes,
• 32:15
  totally.
• 32:16
  More
• 32:16
  than
• 32:17
  yes.
• 32:17
  Yeah.
• 32:18
  And
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  contrast
• 32:20
  that.
• 32:20
  You
• 32:20
  know,
• 32:21
  this
• 32:21
  is
• 32:21
  very
• 32:21
  intriguing
• 32:22
  and
• 32:22
  helpful
• 32:23
  for
• 32:23
  me
• 32:23
  because
• 32:24
  coming
• 32:24
  from
• 32:24
  the
• 32:25
  other
• 32:25
  side
• 32:25
  of
• 32:25
  things,
• 32:26
  which
• 32:26
  was
• 32:26
  a
• 32:26
  very
• 32:27
  scientific,
• 32:28
  reductionist,
• 32:29
  materialist,
• 32:31
  all
• 32:31
  this
• 32:31
  spiritual
• 32:32
  stuff
• 32:32
  is
• 32:32
  nonsense
• 32:33
  beginning,
• 32:34
  which
• 32:35
  still
• 32:35
  leaves
• 32:35
  its
• 32:36
  impact.
• 32:37
  I'm
• 32:38
  repetitively
• 32:38
  humbled
• 32:39
  by
• 32:39
  the
• 32:40
  extent
• 32:41
  to
• 32:41
  which
• 32:41
  the
• 32:42
  worldview
• 32:43
  I
• 32:43
  grew
• 32:44
  up
• 32:44
  in
• 32:44
  still
• 32:45
  leaves
• 32:46
  its
• 32:46
  marks
• 32:47
  and
• 32:48
  leaves
• 32:49
  me
• 32:51
  approaching
• 32:51
  you
• 32:52
  much
• 32:52
  more
• 32:53
  inclined
• 32:53
  towards
• 32:54
  the
• 32:55
  active
• 32:56
  rather
• 32:56
  than
• 32:56
  the
• 32:57
  receptive
• 32:57
  side
• 32:57
  of
• 32:58
  life
• 32:59
  and
• 32:59
  practice.
• 33:00
  Even
• 33:00
  to
• 33:01
  times
• 33:02
  it's
• 33:02
  dysfunctional.
• 33:03
  I
• 33:03
  just
• 33:03
  had
• 33:03
  a
• 33:04
  really
• 33:04
  nasty
• 33:05
  case
• 33:05
  of
• 33:05
  code
• 33:06
  and
• 33:06
  during
• 33:06
  the
• 33:06
  midst
• 33:07
  of
• 33:07
  that,
• 33:08
  found
• 33:08
  myself,
• 33:09
  when
• 33:10
  I
• 33:10
  had
• 33:10
  no
• 33:11
  energy
• 33:11
  and
• 33:11
  no
• 33:11
  anything,
• 33:13
  still
• 33:13
  trying
• 33:13
  to
• 33:14
  push
• 33:15
  in
• 33:15
  some
• 33:15
  way
• 33:16
  to
• 33:17
  keep
• 33:17
  a
• 33:17
  practice
• 33:18
  going.
• 33:18
  And
• 33:18
  it
• 33:18
  would
• 33:18
  have
• 33:18
  been
• 33:19
  the
• 33:19
  perfect
• 33:19
  time,
• 33:20
  perfect
• 33:21
  just
• 33:21
  to
• 33:21
  say,
• 33:22
  I
• 33:22
  can't
• 33:23
  do
• 33:23
  it
• 33:25
  over
• 33:25
  to
• 33:25
  you
• 33:25
  and
• 33:26
  rely
• 33:26
  on
• 33:26
  grace.
• 33:27
  But
• 33:27
  did
• 33:27
  I
• 33:27
  think
• 33:28
  of
• 33:28
  that
• 33:28
  until,
• 33:29
  you
• 33:29
  know,
• 33:30
  week
• 33:31
  or
• 33:31
  so,
• 33:32
  couple
• 33:32
  of
• 33:32
  weeks
• 33:32
  later?
• 33:33
  No.
• 33:34
  So
• 33:34
  it
• 33:35
  was
• 33:35
  like,
• 33:35
  wow,
• 33:36
  after
• 33:36
  all
• 33:36
  these
• 33:37
  years,
• 33:37
  that
• 33:37
  kind
• 33:38
  of.
• 33:38
  That
• 33:38
  attitude,
• 33:39
  that
• 33:39
  worldview
• 33:41
  still
• 33:41
  has
• 33:42
  tentacles
• 33:43
  and,
• 33:44
  you
• 33:44
  know,
• 33:45
  in
• 33:45
  some
• 33:45
  ways
• 33:45
  were
• 33:46
  mirror
• 33:46
  images.
• 33:46
  You
• 33:47
  very
• 33:48
  Early.
• 33:49
  Yeah.
• 33:49
  Were
• 33:50
  opened
• 33:50
  into
• 33:50
  that
• 33:51
  perspective,
• 33:51
  and
• 33:52
  it
• 33:52
  became
• 33:52
  your
• 33:52
  foundational
• 33:53
  worldview.
• 33:54
  And
• 33:54
  for
• 33:54
  me,
• 33:55
  it
• 33:55
  feels
• 33:55
  like
• 33:55
  you're
• 33:55
  a
• 33:56
  Grace
• 33:56
  native.
• 33:57
  I'm
• 33:57
  a
• 33:57
  Grace
• 33:57
  immigrant.
• 33:58
  I
• 33:58
  feel
• 33:58
  like
• 33:59
  digital
• 33:59
  natives.
• 34:00
  Digital
• 34:00
  immigrants.
• 34:02
  So
• 34:02
  I
• 34:02
  don't
• 34:03
  know
• 34:04
  what
• 34:05
  to,
• 34:05
  you
• 34:05
  know,
• 34:06
  welcome
• 34:06
  your
• 34:06
  response
• 34:07
  to
• 34:07
  that.
• 34:07
  But
• 34:08
  it's
• 34:08
  been
• 34:08
  a.
• 34:09
  For
• 34:09
  me,
• 34:09
  very
• 34:10
  intriguing
• 34:10
  and
• 34:11
  wonderful
• 34:12
  and
• 34:12
  graceful
• 34:13
  to
• 34:13
  have
• 34:13
  you
• 34:14
  as
• 34:15
  an
• 34:15
  exemplar
• 34:16
  of
• 34:16
  that
• 34:16
  and
• 34:16
  to
• 34:17
  be
• 34:17
  able
• 34:17
  to
• 34:17
  dialogue
• 34:18
  with
• 34:18
  you
• 34:18
  about
• 34:18
  it
• 34:18
  and
• 34:19
  to
• 34:19
  see
• 34:20
  a
• 34:21
  beautiful
• 34:21
  mirror
• 34:21
  image
• 34:22
  for
• 34:22
  myself.
• 34:23
  Well,
• 34:23
  I
• 34:23
  think
• 34:23
  what
• 34:24
  you're
• 34:24
  speaking
• 34:24
  of,
• 34:24
  and
• 34:25
  I
• 34:25
  feel
• 34:25
  very
• 34:25
  touched
• 34:26
  by
• 34:27
  what
• 34:27
  you're
• 34:27
  sharing,
• 34:28
  Roger.
• 34:28
  And
• 34:29
  there's
• 34:30
  a
• 34:30
  few
• 34:30
  things.
• 34:30
  The
• 34:31
  first
• 34:31
  one
• 34:31
  is
• 34:32
  that
• 34:33
  grace,
• 34:34
  you
• 34:34
  know,
• 34:34
  the
• 34:34
  mystery
• 34:35
  of
• 34:35
  the
• 34:35
  divine
• 34:36
  force
• 34:36
  in
• 34:37
  that
• 34:38
  always
• 34:38
  brings
• 34:38
  forth
• 34:39
  what
• 34:39
  is
• 34:39
  needed
• 34:41
  in
• 34:41
  its
• 34:41
  beneficence.
• 34:43
  If
• 34:43
  healing
• 34:44
  is
• 34:44
  needed,
• 34:45
  it
• 34:45
  brings
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  compassion
• 34:47
  that
• 34:47
  is
• 34:47
  what's
• 34:48
  needed
• 34:48
  for
• 34:48
  healing.
• 34:49
  If
• 34:49
  strength
• 34:50
  is
• 34:50
  needed,
• 34:50
  it
• 34:51
  brings
• 34:51
  that
• 34:51
  forth.
• 34:51
  If
• 34:52
  courage
• 34:52
  is
• 34:52
  needed,
• 34:52
  it
• 34:53
  brings
• 34:53
  that
• 34:53
  forth.
• 34:54
  That's
• 34:55
  my
• 34:55
  experience.
• 34:55
  But
• 34:55
  the
• 34:56
  gate
• 34:56
  is
• 34:56
  always
• 34:56
  humility
• 34:57
  and
• 34:57
  surrender.
• 34:59
  And
• 35:00
  so
• 35:00
  the
• 35:01
  mind
• 35:02
  must
• 35:03
  humble
• 35:03
  itself.
• 35:05
  There's
• 35:06
  no
• 35:06
  other
• 35:06
  way.
• 35:07
  And
• 35:08
  what
• 35:08
  helps
• 35:09
  me
• 35:09
  is
• 35:09
  really
• 35:10
  getting
• 35:10
  honest
• 35:11
  with
• 35:11
  the
• 35:12
  limits
• 35:12
  of
• 35:13
  my
• 35:14
  mind.
• 35:14
  And
• 35:15
  what
• 35:15
  we
• 35:15
  were
• 35:15
  sharing
• 35:16
  together,
• 35:16
  all
• 35:16
  of
• 35:16
  us,
• 35:17
  a
• 35:17
  moment
• 35:18
  ago,
• 35:18
  about
• 35:19
  recognizing
• 35:20
  what
• 35:20
  we
• 35:21
  don't
• 35:21
  know,
• 35:22
  all
• 35:22
  of
• 35:22
  us.
• 35:23
  And
• 35:23
  I'm
• 35:23
  sure
• 35:23
  everyone
• 35:24
  listening
• 35:25
  has
• 35:25
  learned
• 35:26
  some
• 35:26
  truths
• 35:27
  about
• 35:27
  life
• 35:28
  and
• 35:28
  humanity
• 35:29
  and
• 35:29
  being
• 35:29
  here.
• 35:30
  And
• 35:30
  the
• 35:30
  divine.
• 35:32
  And
• 35:32
  the
• 35:33
  humility
• 35:33
  I'm
• 35:33
  speaking
• 35:34
  of
• 35:34
  doesn't
• 35:34
  trash
• 35:35
  that,
• 35:36
  but
• 35:36
  it's
• 35:37
  really
• 35:37
  rather
• 35:39
  a
• 35:39
  posture,
• 35:40
  an
• 35:40
  inner
• 35:41
  attitude
• 35:42
  that
• 35:43
  we
• 35:43
  can
• 35:43
  cultivate
• 35:44
  that
• 35:44
  I
• 35:44
  find
• 35:45
  what
• 35:45
  helps
• 35:46
  me
• 35:46
  get
• 35:46
  into
• 35:46
  that
• 35:48
  is
• 35:48
  when
• 35:48
  I
• 35:48
  contemplate
• 35:49
  the
• 35:49
  questions,
• 35:51
  what
• 35:51
  is
• 35:52
  the
• 35:52
  cause
• 35:53
  of
• 35:53
  the
• 35:53
  love
• 35:54
  that
• 35:54
  I
• 35:54
  feel
• 35:55
  for
• 35:55
  the
• 35:55
  people?
• 35:55
  I
• 35:56
  feel
• 35:56
  it
• 35:56
  for
• 35:57
  who
• 35:57
  and
• 35:58
  what
• 35:59
  brought
• 35:59
  those
• 36:00
  beings
• 36:00
  that
• 36:01
  I
• 36:01
  can't
• 36:01
  imagine
• 36:03
  my
• 36:03
  life
• 36:03
  not
• 36:04
  including
• 36:05
  the
• 36:05
  privilege
• 36:06
  of
• 36:06
  what
• 36:07
  we've
• 36:07
  been
• 36:07
  able
• 36:08
  to
• 36:08
  share
• 36:09
  in
• 36:09
  together
• 36:10
  so
• 36:10
  far.
• 36:11
  Who
• 36:11
  made
• 36:11
  that
• 36:12
  happen?
• 36:13
  Was
• 36:13
  it
• 36:13
  our
• 36:14
  effort
• 36:14
  that
• 36:14
  made
• 36:14
  that
• 36:15
  happen?
• 36:17
  Was
• 36:17
  it
• 36:18
  our
• 36:18
  effort
• 36:19
  that
• 36:20
  made
• 36:20
  us
• 36:20
  interested
• 36:21
  to
• 36:21
  explore
• 36:22
  the
• 36:22
  spiritual
• 36:23
  path
• 36:23
  as
• 36:24
  messily
• 36:24
  and
• 36:25
  imperfectly
• 36:26
  as
• 36:26
  we
• 36:26
  might
• 36:26
  be
• 36:27
  doing?
• 36:28
  Like,
• 36:29
  how
• 36:30
  is
• 36:30
  it
• 36:31
  that
• 36:31
  you
• 36:31
  were
• 36:32
  built
• 36:32
  the
• 36:32
  way
• 36:33
  you
• 36:33
  were
• 36:33
  built,
• 36:33
  with
• 36:34
  this
• 36:34
  extraordinary
• 36:35
  mind
• 36:35
  and
• 36:35
  capacity
• 36:36
  to
• 36:36
  synthesize
• 36:37
  that
• 36:37
  I
• 36:37
  really
• 36:38
  admire
• 36:40
  and
• 36:41
  who
• 36:41
  and
• 36:41
  what
• 36:42
  made
• 36:42
  me.
• 36:43
  The
• 36:43
  way
• 36:43
  this
• 36:44
  vessel
• 36:44
  is
• 36:44
  built
• 36:45
  with
• 36:45
  a
• 36:45
  different
• 36:46
  kind
• 36:46
  of
• 36:46
  openness
• 36:49
  and
• 36:49
  with
• 36:49
  weaknesses,
• 36:50
  too.
• 36:52
  So
• 36:52
  when
• 36:52
  we
• 36:52
  really
• 36:54
  contemplate
• 36:55
  what
• 36:55
  is
• 36:55
  so
• 36:57
  the
• 36:57
  most
• 36:57
  beautiful
• 36:58
  things
• 36:59
  in
• 36:59
  our
• 36:59
  life,
• 37:00
  the
• 37:00
  truest,
• 37:00
  purest
• 37:01
  parts
• 37:02
  of
• 37:02
  our
• 37:02
  experience,
• 37:03
  and
• 37:04
  we
• 37:04
  turn,
• 37:04
  go
• 37:05
  deeper
• 37:05
  into
• 37:05
  it,
• 37:06
  what
• 37:06
  is
• 37:06
  the
• 37:06
  source
• 37:07
  of
• 37:07
  that?
• 37:08
  Who
• 37:09
  and
• 37:09
  what
• 37:09
  made
• 37:09
  that
• 37:10
  happen?
• 37:12
  There's
• 37:12
  a
• 37:12
  natural
• 37:13
  humility
• 37:14
  of
• 37:15
  the
• 37:15
  mind
• 37:15
  into
• 37:16
  its
• 37:16
  Rightful
• 37:17
  reverential
• 37:18
  place
• 37:19
  where
• 37:20
  we
• 37:20
  realize
• 37:21
  there
• 37:22
  is
• 37:22
  something
• 37:23
  so
• 37:23
  much
• 37:23
  more
• 37:24
  intelligent
• 37:25
  than
• 37:26
  we
• 37:26
  can
• 37:26
  even
• 37:26
  fathom
• 37:27
  that
• 37:28
  is
• 37:28
  what's
• 37:28
  in
• 37:29
  charge
• 37:29
  and
• 37:29
  has
• 37:30
  been
• 37:30
  this
• 37:30
  whole
• 37:31
  time
• 37:31
  and
• 37:32
  has
• 37:32
  been
• 37:33
  curating
• 37:33
  itself
• 37:34
  in
• 37:34
  us
• 37:35
  and
• 37:35
  inviting
• 37:35
  us
• 37:36
  to
• 37:36
  learn
• 37:36
  certain
• 37:36
  things
• 37:37
  and
• 37:37
  develop
• 37:37
  in
• 37:38
  certain
• 37:38
  ways
• 37:38
  and
• 37:38
  stumble
• 37:40
  and
• 37:40
  have
• 37:40
  the
• 37:40
  experiences
• 37:41
  so
• 37:41
  that
• 37:42
  we
• 37:42
  can
• 37:42
  learn
• 37:42
  more.
• 37:43
  And
• 37:43
  it
• 37:44
  is
• 37:44
  grace
• 37:44
  that's
• 37:45
  doing
• 37:45
  that.
• 37:46
  It's
• 37:46
  the
• 37:46
  grace
• 37:46
  of
• 37:46
  what
• 37:46
  Aurobindo
• 37:47
  calls
• 37:47
  the
• 37:48
  divine
• 37:48
  force.
• 37:49
  And
• 37:50
  I
• 37:50
  love
• 37:50
  how
• 37:50
  he
• 37:50
  said,
• 37:51
  you
• 37:51
  know,
• 37:52
  surrender,
• 37:52
  the
• 37:53
  kind
• 37:53
  of
• 37:53
  full
• 37:53
  surrender
• 37:54
  that
• 37:54
  all
• 37:54
  the
• 37:55
  paths
• 37:55
  are
• 37:55
  trying
• 37:55
  to
• 37:55
  lead
• 37:56
  us
• 37:56
  and
• 37:56
  help
• 37:56
  us
• 37:56
  with.
• 37:57
  He
• 37:57
  said
• 37:57
  surrender
• 37:58
  doesn't
• 37:58
  happen
• 37:59
  in
• 37:59
  a
• 37:59
  day.
• 38:00
  He
• 38:00
  said
• 38:01
  the
• 38:01
  mind
• 38:01
  resists
• 38:02
  and
• 38:02
  clings
• 38:02
  to
• 38:02
  its
• 38:03
  ideas.
• 38:04
  So
• 38:04
  sincere
• 38:05
  effort
• 38:05
  with
• 38:05
  your
• 38:05
  practice
• 38:06
  is
• 38:06
  required.
• 38:08
  He
• 38:08
  said,
• 38:08
  but
• 38:09
  if
• 38:09
  this
• 38:09
  is
• 38:09
  done,
• 38:10
  the
• 38:10
  rest
• 38:10
  comes
• 38:11
  by
• 38:11
  grace
• 38:11
  of
• 38:11
  the
• 38:11
  divine
• 38:12
  force.
• 38:15
  Let
• 38:15
  me
• 38:15
  say
• 38:16
  a
• 38:16
  little
• 38:16
  bit
• 38:16
  about
• 38:16
  Roger,
• 38:17
  if
• 38:17
  you
• 38:17
  don't
• 38:17
  mind.
• 38:18
  I
• 38:18
  think
• 38:18
  Roger's
• 38:19
  a
• 38:19
  three

  Yet

• 38:39
  to
• 38:39
  be

  that

  driveness
• 38:43
  to

  accomplish
• 38:44
  has

  If

  hadn't

  that

  also

  grace.
• 39:02
  Totally,
• 39:03
  as
• 39:03
  you
• 39:03
  know.
• 39:04
  And
• 39:04
  one
• 39:04
  of
• 39:04
  the
• 39:04
  things
• 39:04
  I'd
• 39:04
  love
• 39:04
  to
• 39:05
  just
• 39:05
  share
• 39:05
  publicly
• 39:06
  here
• 39:06
  is
• 39:06
  that
• 39:07
  I

  first
• 39:07
  encountered
• 39:08
  you,
• 39:08
  Roger,
• 39:08
  when

  I

  was

• 39:10
  in

  Miracle
• 39:11

  in

  my
• 39:12
  early
• 39:12
  20s.
• 39:14
  And
• 39:14
  I
• 39:15
  happened
• 39:16
  to
• 39:16
  be
• 39:16
  just
• 39:16
  part
• 39:17
  of
• 39:17
  a
• 39:17
  small
• 39:17
  team
• 39:18
  of
• 39:18
  people
• 39:18
  that
• 39:18
  were

  gathering
• 39:20
  other

  Miracle
• 39:21

• 39:22
  together
• 39:22
  to
• 39:22
  form
• 39:23
  community.
• 39:23
  It
• 39:24
  ended
• 39:24
  up
• 39:24
  becoming
• 39:24
  something
• 39:25
  called
• 39:25
  the
• 39:25
  Miracle
• 39:25
  Network
• 39:26
  in

  the

  uk,
• 39:26
  still
• 39:27
  going
• 39:27
  today.
• 39:28
  And
• 39:29
  we
• 39:29
  were
• 39:29
  all
• 39:29
  young,
• 39:30
  enthusiastic
• 39:31
  students
• 39:31
  of
• 39:31
  the
• 39:31
  course
• 39:33
  and
• 39:33
  someone
• 39:34
  had
• 39:34
  found
• 39:34
  an
• 39:35
  article
• 39:35
  you'd
• 39:35
  written
• 39:36
  and
• 39:36
  it
• 39:36
  was
• 39:36
  a
• 39:37
  really
• 39:37
  wonderful
• 39:37
  article
• 39:38
  and
• 39:38
  we
• 39:38
  all
• 39:38
  had
• 39:39
  this
• 39:39
  big
• 39:39
  debate
• 39:39
  about
• 39:40
  it
• 39:40
  over
• 39:40
  dinner
• 39:40
  one
• 39:41
  night
• 39:41
  and
• 39:41
  then
• 39:42
  we
• 39:42
  decided,
• 39:42
  let's
• 39:43
  publish
• 39:43
  this.
• 39:43
  And
• 39:43
  it
• 39:44
  was
• 39:44
  your
• 39:44
  article
• 39:45
  on
• 39:45
  looking
• 39:46
  at
• 39:46
  a
• 39:46
  course
• 39:46
  in
• 39:46
  miracles
• 39:47
  through
• 39:47
  the
• 39:47
  lens
• 39:48
  of
• 39:48
  the
• 39:49
  four
• 39:49
  primary
• 39:49
  yogas
• 39:50
  of
• 39:50
  Hinduism.
• 39:52
  And
• 39:52
  I
• 39:53
  loved
• 39:53
  it.
• 39:53
  I'm
• 39:53
  in
• 39:54
  this
• 39:54
  sort
• 39:54
  of
• 39:54
  I'm
• 39:54
  interfaith
• 39:55
  seminary
• 39:56
  training
• 39:56
  at
• 39:56
  the
• 39:56
  time.
• 39:57
  And
• 39:58
  so
• 39:58
  this
• 39:58
  totally
• 39:58
  rocked
• 39:59
  my
• 39:59
  world
• 40:00
  because
• 40:01
  I
• 40:01
  so
• 40:02
  appreciate
• 40:03
  your
• 40:04
  interest
• 40:05
  and
• 40:05
  capacity
• 40:06
  to
• 40:06
  Sort
• 40:07
  of
• 40:07
  see
• 40:07
  things
• 40:08
  and
• 40:08
  connect
• 40:08
  the
• 40:09
  dots
• 40:09
  and
• 40:10
  understand
• 40:11
  with
• 40:12
  these
• 40:12
  mystical
• 40:13
  systems
• 40:13
  fit
• 40:14
  and
• 40:14
  dovetail
• 40:15
  and
• 40:15
  where
• 40:15
  they
• 40:15
  don't.
• 40:16
  And
• 40:17
  I
• 40:17
  was
• 40:17
  reading
• 40:17
  your
• 40:18
  and
• 40:18
  Francis's
• 40:18
  books,
• 40:19
  you
• 40:19
  know,
• 40:19
  where
• 40:19
  you
• 40:19
  were
• 40:20
  bringing
• 40:20
  forth
• 40:20
  your
• 40:20
  favorite
• 40:21
  passages
• 40:21
  of
• 40:21
  the
• 40:21
  course
• 40:22
  in
• 40:22
  miracles
• 40:22
  and
• 40:23
  making
• 40:23
  that
• 40:24
  available
• 40:24
  for
• 40:24
  people.
• 40:25
  So,
• 40:25
  I
• 40:26
  mean,
• 40:26
  how
• 40:26
  beautiful
• 40:27
  is
• 40:27
  that,
• 40:28
  you
• 40:29
  know?
• 40:29
  Yeah.
• 40:29
  Well,
• 40:30
  one
• 40:30
  could
• 40:30
  even
• 40:30
  say
• 40:30
  it
• 40:31
  was
• 40:31
  grace.
• 40:32
  I
• 40:32
  would.
• 40:32
  My
• 40:33
  point
• 40:33
  precisely.
• 40:35
  And
• 40:35
  so
• 40:35
  that
• 40:36
  grace
• 40:36
  moves
• 40:37
  through
• 40:37
  us.
• 40:37
  We
• 40:38
  are
• 40:38
  ultimately
• 40:39
  this
• 40:40
  being
• 40:40
  human
• 40:41
  is
• 40:41
  a
• 40:41
  grace
• 40:42
  delivery
• 40:42
  device.
• 40:43
  Our
• 40:43
  bodies,
• 40:43
  our
• 40:44
  hearts.
• 40:44
  Oh,
• 40:44
  I
• 40:45
  like
• 40:45
  that
• 40:45
  phrase.
• 40:46
  That's
• 40:46
  nice.
• 40:46
  This
• 40:46
  is
• 40:46
  the
• 40:47
  fourth,
• 40:47
  what
• 40:47
  I
• 40:47
  call
• 40:47
  the
• 40:47
  fourth
• 40:48
  dimension
• 40:48
  of
• 40:49
  grace,
• 40:49
  which
• 40:49
  is
• 40:49
  the
• 40:49
  embodiment
• 40:50
  of
• 40:50
  grace,
• 40:51
  the
• 40:51
  living
• 40:51
  of
• 40:52
  it.
• 40:52
  And
• 40:52
  when
• 40:53
  we
• 40:53
  let
• 40:53
  our.
• 40:54
  We
• 40:54
  regard
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  beingness
• 40:56
  that
• 40:56
  we
• 40:57
  are,
• 40:57
  with
• 40:57
  all
• 40:58
  of
• 40:58
  its
• 40:58
  various
• 40:59
  faculties,
• 40:59
  see
• 41:00
  strengths
• 41:00
  and
• 41:00
  weaknesses
• 41:02
  as
• 41:02
  a
• 41:02
  vessel.
• 41:03
  It's
• 41:04
  a
• 41:04
  vessel
• 41:04
  for
• 41:04
  the
• 41:05
  divine
• 41:05
  to
• 41:06
  express
• 41:06
  and
• 41:06
  pour
• 41:07
  more
• 41:07
  of
• 41:07
  itself
• 41:08
  into
• 41:08
  this
• 41:08
  world
• 41:09
  in
• 41:09
  a
• 41:10
  unique
• 41:10
  way.
• 41:12
  We're
• 41:12
  not
• 41:12
  supposed
• 41:12
  to
• 41:13
  be
• 41:13
  the
• 41:13
  same.
• 41:15
  We're
• 41:15
  supposed
• 41:15
  to
• 41:15
  ignite
• 41:16
  one
• 41:16
  another.
• 41:17
  Beautifully
• 41:18
  said.
• 41:18
  What
• 41:19
  a
• 41:19
  wonderful
• 41:20
  ecstatic
• 41:21
  vision,
• 41:21
  actually,
• 41:22
  of
• 41:23
  grace
• 41:24
  delivery
• 41:24
  devices.
• 41:26
  Yeah.
• 41:27
  I
• 41:27
  write
• 41:27
  about
• 41:27
  this
• 41:27
  in
• 41:28
  my
• 41:28
  book.
• 41:28
  Yeah,
• 41:28
  you
• 41:29
  do.
• 41:29
  It's
• 41:29
  because.
• 41:30
  And
• 41:30
  there's
• 41:30
  a
• 41:31
  chapter
• 41:31
  for
• 41:31
  anyone
• 41:31
  who's
• 41:32
  interested
• 41:32
  as
• 41:33
  where
• 41:33
  it's
• 41:33
  in
• 41:34
  the
• 41:35
  four.
• 41:36
  The
• 41:36
  structure
• 41:36
  of
• 41:36
  the
• 41:37
  book
• 41:37
  is
• 41:37
  in
• 41:37
  four
• 41:37
  chunks
• 41:38
  and
• 41:38
  each
• 41:38
  of
• 41:38
  the
• 41:39
  chunk
• 41:39
  represents
• 41:40
  teachings
• 41:41
  and
• 41:41
  practices
• 41:41
  and
• 41:42
  perspectives
• 41:42
  that
• 41:42
  relate
• 41:43
  to
• 41:43
  open
• 41:44
  up
• 41:44
  grace,
• 41:45
  a
• 41:45
  different
• 41:46
  kind
• 41:46
  of
• 41:46
  experience
• 41:47
  of
• 41:47
  what
• 41:47
  grace
• 41:48
  is
• 41:48
  and
• 41:48
  how
• 41:48
  we
• 41:48
  become
• 41:49
  more
• 41:49
  graceful.
• 41:50
  And
• 41:50
  where
• 41:50
  it's
• 41:51
  all
• 41:51
  leading
• 41:51
  is
• 41:52
  to
• 41:52
  becoming
• 41:52
  grace
• 41:52
  delivery
• 41:53
  devices,
• 41:53
  which
• 41:53
  is
• 41:54
  the
• 41:54
  embodiment
• 41:54
  of
• 41:54
  grace,
• 41:55
  the
• 41:55
  fourth
• 41:55
  dimension
• 41:56
  being
• 41:56
  the
• 41:56
  grace.
• 41:58
  You
• 41:59
  see,
• 41:59
  grace
• 41:59
  is
• 41:59
  a
• 42:00
  divine
• 42:00
  force.
• 42:00
  It's
• 42:01
  alive.
• 42:01
  So
• 42:02
  maybe
• 42:03
  I
• 42:03
  should
• 42:03
  have
• 42:03
  this
• 42:03
  conversation
• 42:04
  with
• 42:04
  Hamid
• 42:04
  one
• 42:04
  day,
• 42:05
  but
• 42:05
  I
• 42:05
  think
• 42:06
  maybe
• 42:06
  from
• 42:06
  the
• 42:06
  diamond
• 42:06
  approach
• 42:07
  perspective,
• 42:08
  it
• 42:08
  would
• 42:09
  be
• 42:09
  somewhat
• 42:10
  akin

• 42:14
  the
• 42:14
  unfolding
• 42:15
  dynamism
• 42:16
  of
• 42:16
  reality.
• 42:17
  It's
• 42:18
  alive,
• 42:19
  dynamic,
• 42:19
  pulsating,
• 42:20
  living,
• 42:21
  continuing
• 42:22
  expressing
• 42:24
  through

  us.
• 42:25
  Yeah.
• 42:26
  Early
• 42:27
  Christian
• 42:27
  writings
• 42:27
  in
• 42:28
  New
• 42:28
  Testament,
• 42:28
  it
• 42:28
  was
• 42:28
  the
• 42:29
  Holy
• 42:29
  Spirit.
• 42:29
  Exactly.
• 42:31
  It
• 42:31
  just
• 42:31
  said
• 42:31
  it
• 42:32
  was
• 42:32
  a

  teacher,

  a

  the

• 42:35
  part
• 42:36
  of
• 42:37
  expression
• 42:37
  of

  God.
• 42:38
  Exactly.
• 42:38
  The
• 42:39
  spirit
• 42:39
  of
• 42:39
  holiness.
• 42:40
  Yeah,

  yeah.
• 42:41
  And

  it's

  Yeah.
• 42:44
  Beautiful.
• 42:45
  Yeah.
• 42:46
  And
• 42:46
  I

  want
• 42:47
  to
• 42:47
  just
• 42:47
  mention
• 42:48
  more
• 42:48
  about
• 42:48
  your
• 42:49
  book,
• 42:49
  Miranda,
• 42:50
  because
• 42:50
  really
• 42:50
  is
• 42:51
  a
• 42:51
  beautiful
• 42:51
  piece
• 42:52
  of
• 42:52
  work.
• 42:53
  The
• 42:53
  way
• 42:53
  of
• 42:53
  grace,
• 42:53
  the
• 42:54
  transforming
• 42:54
  power
• 42:55
  of
• 42:55
  ego
• 42:55
  relaxation.
• 42:56
  It
• 42:56
  really
• 42:56
  does
• 42:57
  give
• 42:58
  a
• 42:58
  beautiful
• 42:58
  distillation
• 42:59
  of
• 43:00
  all
• 43:00
  the
• 43:00
  thinking
• 43:01
  and
• 43:02
  about
• 43:02
  and
• 43:02
  grace
• 43:03
  you've
• 43:03
  received
• 43:04
  and
• 43:05
  the
• 43:06
  way
• 43:06
  you've
• 43:06
  given
• 43:07
  a.
• 43:07
  You've
• 43:07
  just
• 43:07
  given
• 43:08
  a
• 43:08
  very
• 43:08
  beautiful
• 43:08
  expression
• 43:09
  of
• 43:10
  opening
• 43:10
  to
• 43:11
  this
• 43:12
  way
• 43:12
  of
• 43:12
  being
• 43:13
  and
• 43:14
  surrendering
• 43:15
  and,
• 43:15
  you
• 43:15
  know,
• 43:15
  just
• 43:16
  to
• 43:16
  acknowledge
• 43:16
  what
• 43:16
  a.
• 43:17
  What
• 43:17
  a
• 43:17
  nice.
• 43:18
  A
• 43:18
  very
• 43:19
  beautiful
• 43:19
  work
• 43:20
  it
• 43:20
  is.
• 43:20
  Thank
• 43:21
  you.
• 43:23
  There's
• 43:23
  so
• 43:23
  much
• 43:23
  more
• 43:24
  we
• 43:24
  could.
• 43:25
  We
• 43:25
  could
• 43:25
  get
• 43:25
  into.
• 43:26
  We
• 43:26
  haven't
• 43:27
  even
• 43:27
  covered
• 43:27
  some
• 43:27
  of
• 43:27
  the
• 43:28
  things
• 43:28
  I
• 43:28
  was
• 43:28
  thinking
• 43:29
  we'd
• 43:29
  get
• 43:29
  to.
• 43:29
  But
• 43:30
  maybe
• 43:30
  we
• 43:30
  do
• 43:30
  a
• 43:30
  third
• 43:31
  podcast.
• 43:31
  There
• 43:32
  you
• 43:32
  go.
• 43:32
  Probably
• 43:33
  down
• 43:33
  the
• 43:33
  line
• 43:33
  for
• 43:34
  sure.
• 43:34
  That
• 43:34
  would
• 43:34
  be
• 43:34
  grace.
• 43:35
  Yeah.
• 43:35
  Thank
• 43:35
  you.
• 43:36
  Yes.
• 43:36
  That
• 43:36
  would
• 43:37
  be
• 43:37
  beautiful.
• 43:38
  As
• 43:39
  we
• 43:39
  come
• 43:39
  towards
• 43:39
  the
• 43:40
  end
• 43:40
  here,
• 43:40
  is
• 43:40
  there
• 43:40
  anything
• 43:40
  else
• 43:41
  you'd
• 43:41
  like
• 43:41
  to
• 43:41
  add?
• 43:43
  Oh,
• 43:43
  goodness.
• 43:45
  You
• 43:45
  notice
• 43:45
  what's
• 43:46
  arising
• 43:46
  right
• 43:46
  now
• 43:47
  is
• 43:47
  just
• 43:47
  the
• 43:48
  importance
• 43:48
  of.
• 43:49
  Yes.
• 43:49
  And
• 43:50
  thank
• 43:50
  you.
• 43:52
  Which
• 43:52
  is
• 43:53
  a
• 43:53
  practice,
• 43:53
  actually,
• 43:54
  of
• 43:56
  being
• 43:56
  here
• 43:57
  now
• 43:57
  in
• 43:57
  all
• 43:58
  of
• 43:58
  it.
• 43:58
  The
• 43:58
  beauty
• 43:59
  and
• 43:59
  the
• 43:59
  horror,
• 43:59
  the
• 44:00
  uncertainty,
• 44:01
  our
• 44:01
  hopes,
• 44:02
  our
• 44:03
  concerns,
• 44:04
  our
• 44:05
  love,
• 44:05
  our
• 44:05
  caring,
• 44:06
  our
• 44:06
  despair,
• 44:08
  our
• 44:08
  inspiration,
• 44:10
  and
• 44:11
  just
• 44:11
  opening
• 44:11
  to
• 44:12
  all
• 44:12
  of
• 44:12
  the
• 44:12
  mystery
• 44:13
  and
• 44:13
  the
• 44:13
  grace
• 44:14
  inherent
• 44:14
  to
• 44:15
  all
• 44:15
  parts
• 44:15
  of
• 44:15
  our
• 44:15
  experience
• 44:16
  and
• 44:17
  remembering.
• 44:18
  It's
• 44:19
  all
• 44:19
  a
• 44:19
  gift.
• 44:21
  Just
• 44:21
  like
• 44:22
  I'm
• 44:22
  sure
• 44:22
  you've
• 44:23
  had
• 44:23
  the
• 44:23
  experiences
• 44:24
  I
• 44:24
  have
• 44:24
  had
• 44:24
  where
• 44:25
  you're
• 44:25
  with
• 44:26
  someone
• 44:26
  who
• 44:27
  you
• 44:27
  love
• 44:28
  and
• 44:28
  cherish
• 44:29
  and
• 44:29
  they're
• 44:29
  dying,
• 44:30
  they're
• 44:30
  leaving
• 44:30
  this
• 44:31
  world,
• 44:32
  and
• 44:32
  in
• 44:32
  that
• 44:33
  moment
• 44:33
  where
• 44:33
  you
• 44:33
  intuitively
• 44:34
  know
• 44:35
  this
• 44:35
  is
• 44:36
  the
• 44:36
  last
• 44:36
  communication
• 44:37
  in
• 44:38
  this
• 44:38
  life,
• 44:38
  in
• 44:38
  this
• 44:39
  form,
• 44:41
  if
• 44:41
  you've
• 44:41
  ever
• 44:42
  felt
• 44:42
  that,
• 44:42
  as
• 44:42
  I
• 44:43
  have,
• 44:44
  isn't
• 44:45
  what
• 44:46
  comes
• 44:46
  out
• 44:46
  of
• 44:47
  you
• 44:47
  just
• 44:48
  gratitude,
• 44:51
  Just
• 44:51
  a
• 44:52
  desire
• 44:52
  to
• 44:52
  say
• 44:53
  thank
• 44:54
  you,
• 44:56
  thank
• 44:56
  you
• 44:56
  for
• 44:56
  it
• 44:57
  all,
• 44:58
  including
• 44:59
  the
• 44:59
  messy
• 45:00
  things,
• 45:01
  the
• 45:01
  arguments,
• 45:02
  the
• 45:03
  difficult
• 45:03
  spots,
• 45:05
  as
• 45:06
  well
• 45:06
  as
• 45:06
  the
• 45:06
  beauty
• 45:06
  and
• 45:07
  the
• 45:07
  joy
• 45:07
  and
• 45:08
  the
• 45:08
  laughter
• 45:08
  and
• 45:09
  the
• 45:09
  fun.
• 45:09
  And
• 45:11
  if
• 45:11
  we
• 45:11
  can
• 45:12
  just
• 45:12
  stay
• 45:12
  close
• 45:12
  to
• 45:13
  that,
• 45:14
  just
• 45:14
  yes
• 45:15
  to
• 45:15
  life.
• 45:16
  And
• 45:16
  thank
• 45:16
  you.
• 45:18
  Maybe
• 45:18
  it
• 45:18
  could
• 45:19
  even
• 45:19
  become
• 45:20
  a
• 45:20
  practice
• 45:21
  as
• 45:21
  we
• 45:21
  walk
• 45:21
  in
• 45:21
  nature.
• 45:23
  Yes.
• 45:23
  On
• 45:24
  the

  Thank

  On

  breath.
• 45:28
  Yeah.

  And

  I'll
• 45:28
  just

  that

  my

  late

  last,
• 45:32
  just
• 45:33
  very
• 45:33
  shortly
• 45:33
  before
• 45:34
  she
• 45:34
  died,
• 45:34
  someone
• 45:34
  asked
• 45:35
  what
• 45:35
  her
• 45:35
  spiritual
• 45:36
  practice
• 45:36
  was,
• 45:36
  and
• 45:36
  she
• 45:37
  said,
• 45:37
  I'm
• 45:38
  practicing
• 45:38
  gratitude.
• 45:40
  Okay,
• 45:42
  that's
• 45:42
  been

  We

• 46:51
  which

  steadily

  but
