2:18
Good morning, good morning, I'm out there.
2:22
I am MJ, the host of the world of conscious positive thinking.
2:27
We kind of call it 2 cap TWOCPT. It is right here on the channel
2:33
NB radio dot US streaming on most the platforms that you can
2:36
find online today and today, of course, we are finishing not
2:42
finishing. This is going to be our Part 3,
2:43
actually part three of our Consciousness of Humanity
2:47
series. I'm very excited about this.
2:50
It's engaging for people to go beyond what man has already
2:54
talked about, and it could possibly be something that could
2:58
help you. It could make you think it
3:00
couldn't. It can turn you away from the
3:04
angriness and the upsetness that some of us are going through
3:09
today, especially on social medias.
3:11
No matter when you get on social media, you always have somebody
3:13
arguing, yelling, debacling something.
3:17
But we just can't, can't keep that balance for some reason.
3:21
So this morning I have a question for you to ponder.
3:25
And it's been in the last series #2 we ended with it.
3:29
So I'm going to ask you again about it.
3:31
When did disagreement become division?
3:35
That's right. When did disagreement come
3:37
division? Well, we're going to discuss all
3:41
this. And because we have now arrived
3:43
to that, then Part 1, we went with the age of entitlement and
3:49
we asked when did gratitude quietly become expected?
3:55
And then that took us right into Part 2, which was the art of
3:59
anxiety. And then we explored fear, faith
4:03
patterns, triggers, trauma awareness.
4:07
And we ended that conversation with that same question that we
4:11
just opened up on this doorway to this Part 3 and today's
4:15
discussion. What happens when fear is no
4:18
longer happening within one individual?
4:22
What happens when fear moves through a family, a community, a
4:27
religion, a culture, a generation, a nation?
4:33
What happens when one person's fear meets another person's fear
4:39
and neither recognizes what is happening?
4:43
We may call it anger, we may call it hatred, we may call it
4:46
protection, we may call it loyalty, we may call it justice,
4:50
we may call it tradition, we may call it righteousness, and we
4:54
may even call it the truth. But somewhere along that way,
4:58
not but Ant Ant somewhere that way to human beings who see the
5:04
world differently, stopped attempting to understand one
5:08
another and they begin defending themselves from one another.
5:15
Welcome to the age of division, folks.
5:20
That's where we're at. And I have to say that this
5:24
morning, and we're going to do it real quick, though.
5:26
We're going to go into what our angels are saying before we get
5:30
into what MJ philosophize. Let's see what the angels have
5:34
to say. Today is August, Oh my gosh,
5:37
we're in August, August the 3rd, 2026.
5:40
That results in a 1080326. It is a 101011.
5:47
So that resulting number in A1 with Angel Messenger that says
5:51
the angels urge you to put yourself first.
5:54
What happened to service to others?
5:56
Sometimes we have to go service to self first.
5:59
It's important to maintain your own personal energy levels to
6:02
achieve that perfect health and emotional well-being.
6:06
With increased energy levels you becoming more powerful
6:09
individual. You will then be able to love
6:12
and care for yourself and others generously.
6:16
The Angel power word of the day is gift.
6:20
That's right, gift. Our numbers contain the number
6:23
32. It's very important to listen to
6:25
your inner truth and to stay on that course that you know is
6:29
right for you. Don't be swayed by others
6:31
opinions and following like sheep at this point in time.
6:34
Trust your inner compass to guide you perfectly along the
6:37
path that you are destined to take.
6:41
Courageously move ahead with an open heart.
6:44
It also contains #26 we know this one right all year long on
6:48
the 26th. The angels now want you to feel
6:50
empowered. When you feel compassion for
6:53
others, then they ask that you feel the same compassion for
6:56
yourself. It is very important that you
6:59
say no to requests that make you feel uneasy.
7:01
Trust these sensations in your body that these are just your
7:05
inner compasses. Angel number contains #80 Dean,
7:09
this is the last one. The angels are here to announce
7:11
that a gift from Heaven will be bestowed upon you in due course.
7:15
Allow your heart to open with gratitude and stand in readiness
7:18
to receive and treasure associated with this gift will
7:22
ripple consequently throughout your life for many years to
7:26
come. Wow, thank you angels for that.
7:29
That's a beautiful message today we should all learn about.
7:33
So back to the age of division. Before I go any further, I want
7:39
to make something really clear about my age of division.
7:44
This is not a show about choosing sides.
7:49
If you came here expecting me to tell you that the left caused
7:53
division, the right caused division, the religion caused
7:56
the division, the generations caused the division, race caused
8:00
the division, our country caused division, or one group of people
8:04
caused division, that I can only be participating in a very
8:09
consciousness that we are attempting to understand.
8:15
I want to go deeper. I want to ask why humanity
8:19
creates sides at all. Where'd that come from?
8:23
Because disagreement is not new. It's so not new.
8:28
The difference is not new. Conflict is not new.
8:33
Human beings have disagreed over land, resources, power, faith,
8:41
family, government, money, morality, culture, identity, and
8:47
our understanding of God for thousands, maybe even millions
8:52
of years. So disagreement in itself cannot
8:57
completely explain what we are experiencing today.
9:02
The question becomes, when does disagreement transform into
9:08
division? That's the question.
9:11
Perhaps it happens when I no longer hear your belief as
9:15
something different than mine. Plausible.
9:21
Maybe I hear I. Maybe I hear it as a threat to
9:25
mine. Perhaps division begins when
9:28
curiosity ends. Plausible, plausible, plausible.
9:34
So when I stop asking why do you believe that and begin declaring
9:42
how could you possibly believe that?
9:44
Think about those two questions and those two sentences.
9:48
One seeks understanding. Why do you believe that?
9:51
Why the other already passes judgement and not necessarily
9:56
went wanting to understand. Hence, how do you possibly
10:01
believe that you hear the difference in the 2?
10:05
Uh huh. So now, and judgement is
10:10
something that we have already discussed many times here at 2
10:13
cap that judgement. We are to have judgement.
10:16
You judge and someone's going to judge you.
10:18
Do you want somebody to judge you?
10:20
Then don't judge. That's how simple it gets,
10:23
folks. That is exactly how simple it
10:25
gets. So judgement closes doors.
10:29
That awareness is attempting now to open because of judgement.
10:34
We need awareness in our life today.
10:38
I want us to open up all those doors of judgment because this
10:42
conversation is going to take us into some really uncomfortable
10:46
places. Religion, politics, race,
10:53
culture, class, gender, generations, families,
10:58
relationships, education, media, social media, national identity,
11:03
history, war, trauma, fear, and of course our ego.
11:07
Ego, ego, ego. We are going to ask questions,
11:12
lots of questions today. So get ready to answer some of
11:15
these questions because answering questions makes you
11:18
ponder in the awareness of the unconscious.
11:22
You heard that for me. You can tell people you heard it
11:25
from me. So some questions may challenge
11:29
what you believe, some may challenge what I believe.
11:33
And that's great. I love that because we are
11:38
diversity. We have that diverse within us.
11:43
Awareness does not require us to agree and awareness ask us to
11:48
understand. And understanding does not mean
11:52
surrendering our beliefs. I can understand why you believe
11:56
something that without believing it, like in myself.
12:03
Does that make sense? Like I can understand your
12:06
beliefs. Can you understand mine?
12:10
If I can understand but I don't believe in why, why is it we all
12:15
can't believe in that? You can understand my experience
12:19
without making it your truth by listening.
12:23
Imagine what would happen if humanity remembers that just
12:28
because somebody else's truth doesn't agree with my truth
12:33
doesn't mean it's not true for them.
12:36
It doesn't mean that it's not true in period.
12:40
It might not be my truth. I might not have the
12:42
understanding. I might not have the
12:44
misinformation. I might have information that
12:47
was given to me completely wrong, so I can understand why
12:52
you would believe something without believing it with
12:55
yourself. You can understand my experience
12:57
without making it your truth. We have somehow, somehow created
13:05
a world where listening can be mistaken for agreement, where
13:12
disagreement can be interpreted as hatred, we're changing our
13:17
minds can be interpreted as weakness, we're admitting we
13:23
were wrong can feel like defeat, and we're asking questions can
13:29
be interpreted as choosing a side.
13:33
And where labels can tell us who someone supposedly is before
13:38
we've ever even learned their name.
13:39
That fascinates me. It should fascinate you because
13:45
underneath every label is still a damn human being.
13:50
Remove your labels. I, I'm a label remover.
13:54
Every time somebody wants to say I'm a reverend, I'm I, I argue
13:57
no stop or they'll say ACEO, no stop.
14:01
My whole life, 40 years in business, business, I, I was a
14:06
business major and I always wanted to put a title.
14:09
I'm like stop it. I, I, I never liked the title
14:13
thing. It, it just, it just doesn't
14:17
work for me. And, and I am that human being.
14:23
I am the same human being that puts on her pants one leg at a
14:26
time, just like you. I don't jump into them.
14:29
You know, maybe some people do. I don't anyway.
14:33
And it here's why, because underneath every label is that
14:37
human being. It's a human being with yvettes.
14:41
It's a human being with experiences.
14:44
It's a human being with fear. It's a human being with
14:47
relationships. I'm a human being with lessons.
14:50
And I'm a human being attempting to understand this physical
14:54
experience through the consciousness that currently
14:58
possesses. So today I want to remove all
15:02
the labels long enough to ask what happened to us?
15:09
Not them, us. Humanity, right?
15:14
When did difference become dangerous?
15:16
When did disagreement become division?
15:20
When did listening become surrendering?
15:24
And when did another person's truth threaten our own?
15:31
Perhaps the hardest question today is what part have we
15:35
individually played in keeping division alive?
15:39
We all play a part because awareness cannot always point
15:44
outward. Eventually awareness turns the
15:47
mirror around. This is the world of conscious
15:51
positive thinking. And conscious positive thinking
15:54
is not pretending everything is positive.
15:58
It is becoming aware of an event, understanding our
16:01
participation within it, restoring balance and
16:04
consciously changing what happens next.
16:07
So today we're going to go, and we're going to go and look
16:11
really further and look at division, not to determine who
16:16
deserves blame. That is not how this is going to
16:20
work. If we want to make a change in
16:22
the world, then we don't play the blame game.
16:25
Ready. How many heard?
16:26
You mean this? I'm pointing at you.
16:28
And look how many fingers are coming back at me if I'm
16:30
pointing at you. So there's no blame game to
16:33
understand how we got here, and perhaps through understanding,
16:37
begins discovering how humanity finds its way back to one
16:42
another. Wow, this is going to get deep.
16:46
So before that, let's hear from the old Quackaroony and see what
16:50
the Quackaroony has to say today about Keep walking the pond.
16:54
You've got this. Even if today feels tough, your
16:58
best chapter is just around the pond.
17:02
Whenever things get rough or it feels like you're at the edge,
17:06
remember this. Storms pass.
17:10
Tough times don't last, but tough people do.
17:18
The station where our veterans voices are heard.
17:21
MBR talk. Hey, thanks for supporting our
17:24
channel by watching and listening.
17:26
Find us on the web at MB radio dot.
17:31
All right, walking to the light. Love it.
17:33
Love it. Thank you, Beaker.
17:35
OK, so here we go into Part 1 of this.
17:38
And it's when difference became division.
17:41
Let's begin with something incredibly simple.
17:45
We are different. Can we all agree with that?
17:49
We are different, and we always have been.
17:52
Look around humanity. Different languages, different
17:56
colour skins, different cultures, different foods,
17:58
different governments, different religions, different family
18:01
structures, different traditions, different economic
18:05
circumstances, different philosophies, different ways of
18:08
expressing love, different ways of grieving, different
18:11
understanding of God, different ideas about what makes a
18:15
meaningful life. The difference is everywhere and
18:20
yet humanity survived differences for thousands and
18:25
millions of years. We know it's millions because
18:27
they're finding them in the in the frost.
18:31
Wow, anthropologists and forensic anthropologists are
18:36
under even understanding how some of these people died.
18:39
Differences division. The difference is everywhere,
18:44
and yet humanity survived differences for so many years.
18:49
In fact, difference helped create humanity as we know it
18:54
today. People have travelled, people
18:57
traded, people migrated, people intermarried, people shared
19:01
food, people shared medicines. People share technologies,
19:05
languages, philosophies. They shared spiritual beliefs,
19:09
they shared mathematics, they shared astronomy, and they
19:12
shared stories. Culturals influenced other
19:17
cultures. Civilizations borrowed from
19:21
other civilizations. Human beings learn from human
19:25
beings. Why It empowers, it becomes, it
19:29
evolves. Of course, history also contains
19:34
conquest, slavery, persecution, displacement, war,
19:40
discrimination, and religious conflicts and struggling for
19:46
power. So I'm not suggesting humanity
19:49
once lived in perfect harmony because we didn't ever ever.
19:55
Division has deep roots. What I'm asking is really
19:59
something different. Why does difference sometimes
20:04
create curiosity and other times it just creates fear?
20:09
Two people can meet someone completely different than
20:14
themselves. One says tell me about your
20:18
culture, and the other one says your culture threatens me.
20:25
Same difference, different consciousness.
20:29
Why? That's where I I believe we need
20:33
to begin. Division is not simply
20:35
difference. Division occurs when that
20:38
difference is given a value. Better, worse, superior,
20:45
inferior. Right.
20:46
Wrong, bad, normal or sorry, Good, bad, normal, abnormal, Us.
20:53
Them. Look at those divisions, and
20:56
once we create us in them, something massively changes
20:59
within us. The person standing literally
21:02
across from us can become a category.
21:06
Where's the man? Where's the human?
21:09
The category then becomes a label.
21:12
The label develops assumptions, the assumptions ask you some,
21:20
and eventually we may stop seeing the human being
21:24
underneath it. Think about how quickly this
21:27
happens in today's events. Someone tells you their
21:31
political affiliation and immediately assumptions may
21:35
appear. Someone tells you their
21:38
religion? Assumptions appear again.
21:41
Their profession assumptions. Their age assumptions, their
21:47
neighborhood, their education, their income assumptions, their
21:50
nationality, their accent, their clothing, their relationship
21:53
status. All assumptions can appear.
21:58
Huh. Where is that?
22:00
Why does our ego and our judgement do that?
22:04
Sometimes we decide who someone is before they've even said 10
22:09
sentences to us. Now why is that the why, girl?
22:14
Where did these assumptions come from?
22:17
Were we born with them or were we taught them?
22:20
Were we learned by our families? Huh.
22:26
Community. Religion?
22:30
Where? Schools, Television, news,
22:33
social media, friends, past experiences, trauma.
22:39
Good morning, Joel. Good morning, Mike.
22:43
Maybe one painful event involving one person becomes a
22:49
belief about an entire group. We've seen that.
22:54
Right now we're back to what patterns?
23:01
I'm in a big, big pattern thing right now and this, this thing,
23:06
it is rhythmatic patterns of Earth patterns.
23:11
We go through patterns as humans remember in the art of Anxiety,
23:18
event fear, trigger, pattern reaction.
23:23
What if humanity does the same thing collectively?
23:26
An event happens, fear develops, the event is remembered, the
23:31
story is then repeated. Now, we already know the
23:34
telephone game was repeating, right?
23:36
I could say, hey, the dog ran after the cat and the mouse got
23:41
hit by the car. So now you hear when it comes
23:44
back, Oh yeah, the dog got hit by the car.
23:49
That's not what I said. Remember that, right?
23:54
Remember that, because I love that.
23:57
What if humanity does the same thing collectively and the event
23:59
happens? The fear develops the event.
24:01
Remember the story repeated, right?
24:04
Not the same. The story then becomes part of
24:07
family's memory, a community's memory, a culture's memory,
24:11
sometimes a nation's memory. I'm going to give you another.
24:14
For instance, there's people who translate translators.
24:21
The translators are never 100% of what somebody said.
24:25
It's impossible because the interpreter is going to
24:31
interpret what they got out of the message.
24:35
Do you understand? It's their interpretation.
24:39
OK, this is going to get fun. So now years, past generations
24:46
pass. The original event that caused
24:48
the mayhem may have been gone already.
24:51
Yeah, the emotional pattern remains.
24:54
And when something resembles that original event, the pattern
25:01
reawakens. There it is again.
25:03
That energetic wave of patterns. Here we go.
25:08
And they always do this. Those people are constantly see
25:15
those words. Always.
25:16
Again, constantly. You hear it because that's what
25:20
patterns are there and again and again and again, it's infinite.
25:23
You're in an infinite pattern. You're in an infinite rabbit
25:27
hole. You just go and keep going
25:28
around or the hamster we're well, you can't get the food
25:30
because it just keeps going around in a circle.
25:33
We heard them while discussing anxiety and now we listen to
25:37
them in division. They always, well, they never
25:44
these people, people like that. The problem with them is Can you
25:50
believe they're citing? These are the quotes that you
25:54
hear and you see and you listen to What happens when an entire
25:57
group of human beings then becomes them, us, them.
26:08
Well, we stop investigating individuals and we begin
26:13
reacting to then categories. They're no longer individual
26:19
human, they're categories them. And now another question
26:24
appears, who benefits when humanity is divided into
26:28
categories? Now hold on to that one.
26:31
Write that one down. Who benefits when humanity is
26:34
divided into categories? Hold on as that question will
26:38
become really important later because division is not only
26:44
emotional. Throughout history, division has
26:48
always been used to like strategically.
26:52
Politicals leaders have used it, religious institutions have used
26:57
it, governments have used it and movements have used it.
27:01
Businesses and media can profit from conflict and attention.
27:07
Business and media can profit from conflict and attention.
27:13
We know this. We've been watching this for the
27:15
last 12 to what, 16 years, maybe even 20?
27:20
We've been watching the media 'cause this division.
27:25
Yet it is what it is because humans throughout history,
27:31
division has also been strategical planning.
27:34
So they're using division to get the awareness, to get the
27:38
attention because creating an enemy can make belonging feel
27:45
stronger to a party, to affiliate, to a culture, to a
27:49
religion when you make it as you belonging to that clique.
27:55
Are we going somewhere yet? Are we are those are those gears
27:59
moving? I hope so, because you that they
28:04
are the problem. Suddenly we you have nothing
28:09
around which to unite except unity built around a common
28:14
enemy is still division. You outcasted, but yet you're
28:22
still dividing humanity. Not cool.
28:26
And that is where ego enters this conversation.
28:30
It's important if my identity becomes completely attached to
28:36
my belief. Questioning my belief can then
28:40
begin to feel like questioning me.
28:44
Now disagreement feels very personal.
28:49
You are no longer challenging that idea in my perspective, in
28:57
my perception. You are challenging my identity.
29:01
Not my idea, my identity, because I believe it to be.
29:05
Get it? And now ego moves into
29:09
protection mode. We defend, we react, we stop
29:13
listening. We gather evidence that supports
29:16
what we already believe in, and we surround ourselves with
29:19
people who agree with us. We repeat the same stories and
29:25
eventually our truth becomes the only truth we are willing to
29:29
hear. Have we reached that yet?
29:35
This is a very dangerous place for consciousness, because
29:40
awareness requires the possibility that there is
29:44
something we do not yet understand.
29:48
I say this frequently. Man develops theories,
29:54
psychological theories, medical theories, political theories,
29:58
religionist interpretations. Man, have you heard all these on
30:02
the news yet? Social theories, Even spiritual
30:05
theories, including mine. And if consciousness is truly
30:10
evolving, then we really must remain willing to question all
30:16
of it. We have to, yes, I said have to.
30:21
You get to you would I would think you would want to.
30:26
You could question mine, question yours, question the
30:29
person on TV, question the person standing behind that
30:32
pulpit, question that politician, question the healer,
30:36
question that scientist, the historian, the influencer, and
30:40
then question yourself. Not because everyone is lying.
30:47
I didn't say that because no individual human being sees
30:52
every event from every possible perspective that can happen to
30:56
that energetic wave or that movement or that evolvement
31:00
happening with inside of humanity.
31:03
We see through our experiences, our upbringings, our knowledge,
31:09
our wounds, our faith, our fears, our environment, our
31:12
consciousness. 2 people can witness the same event and walk
31:17
away with two very different interpretations.
31:22
Welcome to your nightly news. Depending on which station you
31:25
choose, there it is. Now imagine that happening
31:31
across billions and billions of human beings around the world.
31:41
And you got it. Maybe difference was never
31:44
humanity's greatest problem. Perhaps our challenge is what we
31:49
do with that difference. Do we become curious or
31:56
defensive? Do we listen or prepare our
32:00
response while the other person is still speaking and all you
32:03
hear is you're not listening? Do we seek understanding or
32:10
seeking evidence so that we were right all along and we can prove
32:14
them wrong again? Perspective, learning,
32:22
experience, knowledge is power. Can I sit across from someone
32:28
who's worldwide or worldview? Worldwide view is completely
32:34
different from Mayan and still recognize divine creation
32:38
sitting right in front of me. Absolutely.
32:41
I hope you can too. Can I disagree without
32:47
dehumanizing? Can I establish boundaries
32:51
without hatred? Can I walk away without needing
32:56
to destroy the person I walked away from?
33:02
And can I love someone from afar without requiring them to become
33:06
me? Those are conscious questions.
33:10
When we talk about the consciousness of humanity, these
33:13
are all conscious questions, and they bring us to an important
33:16
realization. Unity does not require sameness.
33:21
Think about that. Take another little break and
33:25
then we're going to go on to unity.
33:28
You're listening to MJ with the world of conscious positive
33:30
thinking. We call it 2 cap.
33:31
You're right here on MB Radio dot US, where veterans always
33:34
have a voice. Every set back is just a setup
33:37
for a comeback. Keep cracking forward. 90% of
33:40
what we worry about in future never happens.
33:43
Whenever things get rough or it feels like you're at the edge,
33:47
remember this. Storms pass.
33:51
Tough times don't last, but tough people do.
33:59
The station where our veterans voices are heard.
34:01
MBR talk. Find us on the web at MB radio
34:06
dot web. OK, welcome back.
34:10
Unity does not require sameness. Here we go.
34:14
Humanity does not need one religion, one culture, one
34:19
political philosophy, one language, one personality, one
34:24
way of living. Unity asks something much more
34:28
challenging. Can we remain different and
34:31
still recognize one another as human?
34:35
Can we disagree and remain conscious?
34:38
Can we listen without surrendering ourselves?
34:42
Can we understand without automatically agreeing?
34:46
Can we honor another's person's journey while continuing our
34:52
own? That is where healing division
34:57
begins for me, those questions right there, not by forcing
35:04
everyone into a same belief pattern, by removing the belief
35:08
that difference automatically makes us enemies.
35:12
That was a taught that was taught and that's that's hard.
35:17
That's a that's a big that's a big rough one.
35:19
Good morning, Terry. That's that's rough, because
35:25
perhaps the opposite of division is not agreement.
35:29
Perhaps the opposite of division is understanding, and
35:33
understanding begins with awareness.
35:36
Here we go. If you've heard it once, you've
35:38
heard it 1000 times. This is my quote for every
35:41
philosophy of life and every event.
35:43
Every event has a purpose. Every purpose invites awareness.
35:49
Awareness invites understanding. You got it?
35:52
Understanding restores balance, and balance consciousness
35:56
transforms that next event. So before we even ask who
36:02
divided humanity, we first need to understand why humanity is so
36:08
easily divided. And that is where we go next,
36:12
right into Part 2. What makes humanity dividable?
36:18
Get your seatbelts. There we go.
36:21
So before we ask who divided humanity, we first need to
36:26
understand why humanity is so easily divided.
36:30
And that is where we go to right now.
36:33
Because I don't believe division simply appeared.
36:38
Something feeds it. Something gives it energy.
36:42
Something takes two people who could disagree walk away and
36:47
continue respecting one another and then turns into disagreement
36:53
or into resentment. Let's go down that rabbit hole.
37:00
And this time I want to go way down.
37:03
Not back to the 60s, not back to the 70s, not to social media,
37:08
not to television, not to political parties, not even the
37:11
beginning of the religions that we recognize today.
37:15
I want to ask, who taught humanity to divide?
37:22
Who taught us to fight? Who taught us to group?
37:27
Who taught us to click? Who taught us to choose sides?
37:33
Who taught us to defend our own? Where did hate come from?
37:38
And how far back does the vision really go?
37:44
And I'm going to ask again, who taught humanity to divide?
37:49
Human conflict existed long before written history, before
37:54
modern nations, before modern governments, before political
37:59
parties, before social media, before television, before the
38:05
religions many of us practice today.
38:08
Human beings cooperated. And human beings fought.
38:14
They gathered, they haunted, they protected one another, they
38:19
raised children together, they shared knowledge, they formed
38:23
their communities or colonizations, and they also
38:26
competed for territory, resources, safety, status and
38:30
survival goes back a long way. So perhaps nobody really taught
38:36
humanity the original concept of These are my people.
38:43
Perhaps belonging was part of survival.
38:50
Who shares our food? Who protects our children?
38:54
Who hunts with us? Who sleeps near us?
38:59
Who can we trust? Who belongs within our circle?
39:02
You see, grouping does not automatically mean hatred.
39:07
Grouping can mean family familiarity, community
39:12
protection, cooperation, identity, survival.
39:15
Yet once there is an US, there is the possibility of a them get
39:25
it. So who is outside the group?
39:29
Who wants our resources? Who enters our territory?
39:33
Who threatens our safety and who follows different rules?
39:38
Who can we trust? Perhaps humanity was not
39:43
originally taught division. Perhaps humanity discovered
39:49
grouping as one response to survival, and then consciousness
39:56
began teaching each generation who belonged inside that group,
40:02
who belonged outside of it, and eventually who was the enemy.
40:08
Yet. Even that does not take us far
40:11
enough. Got to keep going back.
40:14
Yet humanity did not invent competition.
40:22
Competition. Let's move.
40:24
Because Mother Earth and patterns of competition.
40:27
Here we go. Let's, let's go deeper than
40:29
humanities. Look at Mother Earth herself.
40:32
Oh, here's an awakening. Competition exists throughout
40:37
living systems. Animals compete for territory.
40:40
Animals compete for mates. Some establish dominance.
40:45
Predators hunt prey. Animals defend their young.
40:50
Groups protect resources. Plants compete for sunlight.
40:56
They compete for water. They compete for nutrients.
41:01
A larger plant may dominate the resources surrounding smaller
41:06
plants. Vines can climb all over trees
41:10
and vegetation, competing for sunlight and space.
41:13
Roots compete beneath our soils. Huh, You hear the word compete a
41:18
lot in this, right? Some plants can even inhibit the
41:24
growth of neighboring plants through chemicals released into
41:30
the environment. Fungi, microorganisms, insects,
41:33
roots, water, minerals, animals and plants exist with an
41:36
enormously complicated relationships.
41:41
Some cooperate, some compete, some consume and some protect.
41:47
Some depend upon one another. Some organisms die and become
41:54
nourishment for something else. Mother Earth contains creation
42:00
and destruction, birth and death, growth and decay,
42:08
competition and cooperation, order and disruption.
42:13
So perhaps we need to be careful when we use the word division.
42:19
Difference is natural. Competition exists in nature.
42:27
Boundaries exist, territory exist, dominance exist in some
42:32
of our in some of mother nature's species, cooperation
42:35
exists. Conflict over resources exist.
42:38
Yet I don't believe that the vine climbing over the tree is
42:42
angry with the tree. I do not believe the weed is
42:48
jealous of the flower. I do not believe the predator
42:52
needs to hate its prey. Those are human emotional
42:57
interpretations. I'm looking underneath that
43:02
interpretation. I am looking at the pattern and
43:07
the pattern beneath the behavior.
43:10
Pressure, resistance, competition, dominance,
43:16
displacement, adaptation, and eventually another balance
43:21
emerges. Now look at humanity.
43:25
We compete. We protect territory.
43:28
We protect resources. We form groups.
43:31
We establish boundaries. We challenge leadership.
43:35
We defend what we believe belongs to us.
43:38
We adapt when circumstances change.
43:43
There is a pattern here. Do you see it?
43:46
I'm witnessing it as I'm reading it and I'm listening to it as
43:52
it's coming in, witnessing within my philosophy, and it
43:57
feels really familiar to humanities.
44:02
I describe it as an energetic wave.
44:05
I'm not saying that a human argument and a vine overtaking a
44:12
tree are biologically identical events.
44:15
They are not, and I repeat, they are not.
44:19
However, if you look at energetic waves, man, there's
44:26
something there that is really monitoring that wave pattern.
44:31
With human and with Mother Earth, the organisms are
44:37
different, the circumstances are different, the physical
44:40
expressions are different. Yet when I look at an energetic
44:45
pattern beneath those physical expressions, I recognize
44:49
something. I recognize that pressure meets
44:52
resistance. 1/4 pushes and the other one responds.
45:01
Something changes. The system seeks yet another
45:05
balance. Different expressions, different
45:09
level, but yet a familiar pattern.
45:14
And Patterns man has difficulty recognizing this because we
45:21
become fascinated with the story that is surrounding our own
45:26
experience. He betrayed me.
45:29
She insulted me. They took something from us.
45:33
They don't belong here. I deserve that.
45:36
They don't deserve that. I'm right.
45:39
They're not right. You're wrong.
45:42
I deserve it. They don't.
45:47
Nature does not require those sentences, only human for a
45:52
competition to occur. Man creates the narrative, and
45:57
once man creates that narrative, we can remember it, we can
46:02
repeat it, we can teach it, we can organize around it, we can
46:05
recruit others with it an intuit, and then we can carry
46:10
that event beyond a lifetime of the people who originally
46:14
experienced it. That mine, that vine, that
46:20
beautiful little vine may overtake the tree.
46:24
Humanity can remember the event for hundreds of years and teach
46:28
descendants who deserves blame for it.
46:32
Now the original event has travelled way beyond itself.
46:35
It's decades ago, and that interests me right there.
46:41
How can an event that happened two or three generations ago
46:46
still be repeated today? And what happens when human
46:50
tries to interpret? We set it.
46:52
That's right. If you set it out there, our
46:55
interpretation gets flawed. Yep.
47:00
So these myths, these old beliefs, these old folklores,
47:04
all these old tales of humanity, ask them to write it down.
47:09
Because you can read something and it doesn't change, right?
47:14
Unless it's burnt, destroyed, whatever.
47:16
But this is where we're getting this information.
47:18
Hieroglyphs, symbols, anthropologists studying.
47:24
This is where this information is coming from.
47:28
Perhaps human division is not simply conflict between two
47:31
opposing forces. Perhaps, perhaps, just perhaps,
47:37
division becomes something so much greater when consciousness
47:41
continues feeding that pattern after the original event has
47:45
ended. Interpretations start to vary
47:52
through man's storytelling, trying to remember the facts
47:57
through time. We just talked about that.
48:01
Generations right now. Anger feeds it.
48:05
Resentment feeds it, jealousy feeds it, fear feeds it,
48:09
betrayal feeds it, broken trust feeds it, stories feed it,
48:13
groups feed it, and eventually generations can inherit it.
48:18
Life beyond man's categories. Well, let's do this.
48:21
Let's. This will now bring me to the
48:24
other question. Maybe man's categories help us
48:28
understand life and sometimes it prevents us seeing life.
48:33
Animal. Plant, fungus, insect, mammal,
48:36
human, land, water, air. We name, we classify, and we
48:42
organize it. We separate living things into
48:47
kingdoms, species, systems, environments, and then the
48:51
category so the physical mind can study them.
48:55
Man here is man putting everything, separating it,
48:59
dividing it, classifying it, categorizing it.
49:02
There is a tremendous value in classifications, don't get me
49:05
wrong. Yet what happens when the
49:07
category becomes more important than the pattern?
49:13
I look at human life, and then I look at a tree's life.
49:17
That's who I am. You see the memes?
49:19
Put your third eye on the tree. Hug the tree.
49:21
Sit in the tree, ground by the tree.
49:23
Tree, tree, tree, tree, tree, tree, tree.
49:24
Hear it? You hear it enough, right?
49:28
But they're 2 completely different organisms.
49:32
Yet I see such a pattern of familiar hurdles that we both go
49:39
through. Again, man is not plant and
49:43
plant is not man categorizing, right?
49:47
I get it. But both require nourishment.
49:50
Both require an environment capable of supporting life.
49:54
Both experience growth. Both encounter environmental
49:58
stressors. Both can be injured, both can
50:02
experience disease. Both can adapt.
50:06
Both may recover from some injuries and remain physically
50:09
changed by others. Both age and eventually both
50:14
physical forms die. Again, Man is different than
50:21
plant. Then look at the rings of that
50:23
tree. Those rings can preserve
50:26
evidence of its journey, favorable growing periods,
50:30
droughts, fires, injuries, competition, environmental
50:32
changes. That tree carries physical
50:35
evidence of events it experienced while it continues
50:39
to grow. Who's that?
50:40
Sound like man, right? We carry scars, we carry
50:46
memories. We carry patterns.
50:48
We carry physical changes, emotional changes, evidence of
50:51
environments that we had to survive in.
50:55
Events become part of our journey to the tree does not
51:00
tell its story with human words. We don't talk Tree, part of its
51:08
story is written into the physical structure.
51:12
And perhaps man's ego sometimes says that's only a plant, that's
51:17
only an insect, it's only an animal only because humanity
51:23
often measures life through the human experience.
51:27
If another form of life does not communicate like us, think like
51:30
us, move like us, or express itself in a way that we can
51:34
recognize, then we place that into another category.
51:37
Man does I question whether our categories sometimes prevent us
51:44
from actually recognizing shared patterns.
51:47
Shared event that that energetic wave is shared.
51:51
I'm watching it. Gosh, I'm, I think God every day
51:56
for that gift to see that energy.
52:00
Not because humans and trees are biologically the same.
52:03
They are not. I'm going to say it again.
52:05
I'm just asking whether patterns of life cross the boundaries man
52:09
created to classify them. Tell me it's plausible.
52:14
I know it's plausible. I'm watching that energetic
52:16
pattern and wave. I'm not asking whether patterns
52:20
of life cross the boundaries man created to classify them, such
52:23
as birth, growth, nourishment, competition, cooperation,
52:27
stress, adaptation, damage, recovery, aging, death, renewal.
52:32
There's a lot of them. Different organisms, different
52:36
physical expressions, familiar energetic wave patterns.
52:44
Tonya, The forest is not simply trees.
52:48
It is soil. It's water, it's fungus, it's
52:51
roots, it's animals, it's insects, it's microorganisms,
52:54
it's water bears, it's sunlight, it's air, it's death, it's
52:57
decay, it's regeneration, it's competition, it's cooperation.
53:00
Oh, countless different expressions participating all
53:05
within one interconnected system, and suddenly I have to
53:11
look at humanity. Different races, different
53:15
cultures, different religions, different languages, different
53:18
abilities, different beliefs, different experiences, different
53:21
expressions. Man's mind says, categorize
53:26
them, put them in a box, define the difference.
53:29
Awareness asks, can I recognize the difference without
53:34
forgetting my connection? Because perhaps division does
53:39
not begin with recognizing differences.
53:44
Perhaps division begins when the category convinces us the
53:49
connection no longer exists. Maybe humanity is not standing
53:56
above the circle of life. Maybe we're standing inside of
54:01
it. Would you think of that?
54:05
From the ancient pattern to the playground.
54:07
Here we go. Now let's move forward.
54:10
Thousands of years pass, Civilizations rise, government
54:15
develops, religion develops, borders appear, laws are
54:19
written, humanity changes tremendously.
54:22
Yet some patterns remain recognizable and eventually we
54:28
reach childhood. Growing up in the 1970s, I
54:33
remember phrases of children still say varying things today,
54:38
such as I'm not your friend, you can't play with me.
54:43
Think about what those words mean As a child.
54:46
I know my own children came home with They're not my friend no
54:50
more. Why?
54:52
Well, because they didn't sit by me at lunch.
54:55
OK, so think of what those words mean.
54:58
You belong or you don't. You're with us or you're not.
55:04
Long before children can understand politics, economics,
55:07
ideologies, religions or social class.
55:11
They understand belonging, and they understand exclusion.
55:18
Who taught them that? Then?
55:22
Elementary school, middle school, high school.
55:24
The groups become more visible. Jocks, theatre kids, band kids,
55:29
chorus kids, gifted students, popular kids, quiet kids,
55:33
athletes, academics. Different interests naturally
55:37
bring people together, but there's something not but yet
55:43
there is something inherently wrong with belonging to that
55:47
group. Why?
55:49
The question is, why does belonging become exclusion?
55:53
When does these are my people become Those are not our people?
56:01
There it is again. Pattern us, them.
56:06
Perhaps the playground did not invent the pattern.
56:10
Maybe it just gave an ancient pattern, a new environment to
56:14
play with or to understand loyalty and the recruitment of
56:19
our sites. Now that we grow, that the
56:21
children into adults, something happens.
56:24
A friendship ends, a relationship ends.
56:26
Someone cheats, someone lies. Some feel betrayed, some feel
56:30
rejected, some doesn't get their way, and then someone believes
56:35
that the other person has done them completely and utterly
56:39
wrong. Now we have hurt, we have anger,
56:45
we have betrayal, we have resentment, we can have
56:49
depression, sadness, and sometimes the event does not
56:54
remain between the two people who experienced it.
56:57
Why one person begins telling another.
57:02
Let me tell you what she just did.
57:04
Let me tell you what he just did.
57:06
Can you believe what they just did to me?
57:10
I'm laughing because it was in me as well.
57:14
I had to learn this. A friend hears a story and then
57:19
another friend, then family members hear it.
57:22
Co workers hear it. People who were never part of an
57:28
original event begin choosing sides and suddenly one conflict
57:35
between two people has an army of defenders, an army.
57:42
And now ask, what did those defenders actually experience?
57:48
Perhaps nothing. The person they are now angry
57:52
with. Many never have lied to them,
57:55
never betrayed them, never cheated on them, never insulted
57:59
them, never harmed them. Yet they have inherited someone
58:03
else's conflict. Dreadful.
58:07
This is enormously important to my theory of division.
58:11
Families do it, right? Sometimes in families you only
58:15
hear the negative sides of in laws.
58:20
Friends in groups do it. They didn't ask me to go.
58:23
Can you imagine that? How dare they?
58:28
Workplaces do it. We're just going to take all the
58:31
people who are in this program today.
58:35
We're not going to take anybody else in with us, right?
58:38
Communities do it. We are only looking for female
58:42
night. It's drink night for females.
58:44
Religions do it all the time. Are you belonging to this
58:49
religion to receive the sacrament of Jesus Christ?
58:53
Because if you didn't take the sacraments in our religion,
58:56
you're not allowed to do it. But yet they want everybody to
59:00
believe in God. I don't think God separates.
59:04
Political groups do it. There's your left and your
59:08
right. Countries do it.
59:11
NATO allies see all this Them, us.
59:17
Someone tells us this person is against us.
59:21
And sometimes we never stop to ask what did they actually do to
59:25
you? How many times have you heard
59:28
somebody say, I can't stand that person, Oh, what they do to you?
59:30
Oh no, well I can tell you what they did to so and so.
59:33
So they did absolutely nothing to you and yet you're talking
59:37
rubbish for that other person. You're gossiping which is
59:40
causing rubbish. And then sometimes we never stop
59:43
to ask what did I personally witness?
59:47
Have I heard both sides? Do I know the entire story or
59:51
the event? Is there pieces missing?
59:53
Did was there improper information given or am I
59:56
carrying somebody else's interpretation of it completely?
59:59
How many times have you heard me get the libraries and look them
1:00:03
up. I've listed them constantly on
1:00:06
my feeds on on my social medias. There's 11 libraries.
1:00:10
I think there's more, but there's main 11.
1:00:13
Look up your answers, they're always there.
1:00:17
Loyalty without awareness. Does loving someone require me
1:00:20
to hate another? That's sad.
1:00:24
Does loving that friend? If my friend has been hurt, can
1:00:33
I support my friend? I can listen, I can support, I
1:00:37
can love them, and I can stand beside them.
1:00:41
Does supporting them require me to attack another human being?
1:00:45
Does loyalty require judgement without knowledge?
1:00:50
Perhaps the person telling the story misunderstood something.
1:00:56
Perhaps information is missing. Perhaps they couldn't remember
1:01:00
everything that was said and they just filled it in.
1:01:03
Perhaps people contribute like that.
1:01:06
Perhaps one person truly behaved differently or terribly, or
1:01:10
perhaps everything happened exactly as prescribed, or the
1:01:13
worst. Perhaps something that they
1:01:16
might find negative, they'll switch for the other person.
1:01:22
Awareness still asks to distinguish between supporting
1:01:26
someone we love and adopting their conflict as our own.
1:01:33
And this is where my understanding of karma enters
1:01:36
the picture. If someone has never harmed me,
1:01:39
yet I chose to insult them, exclude them, spread stories
1:01:43
about them, attack them, or deliberately cause harm because
1:01:47
somebody else told me that they were my enemy, those actions are
1:01:53
now mine, no longer the friend I'm helping.
1:01:59
Whatever happened between the original people belongs to their
1:02:02
event, not to us. What I choose to do belongs to
1:02:07
me. I can't, no I cannot hand
1:02:13
responsibility for my behavior back to my friend and say I only
1:02:19
did it because of what they did to you.
1:02:23
That makes no sense. I made a choice.
1:02:26
I created another event, and now I have my own part to play into
1:02:31
this understanding. One event becomes two people.
1:02:36
Two people become two sides. Two sides recruit multiples.
1:02:41
Imagine those hands going out. Eventually, some participants
1:02:46
may not even know where the original conflict began.
1:02:51
Why? Because perspective and
1:02:54
interpretation changed it multiple times.
1:02:58
They only know I'm with them and we're against them.
1:03:01
That's all, you know? Well, that's my friend and
1:03:03
they're not back to childhood. They're no longer my friend.
1:03:08
OK, so we learn 1 version as children.
1:03:13
You can't play with us. You're not my friend.
1:03:15
And childhood changes. The words not only want to
1:03:18
discuss those because they're just crude.
1:03:23
It doesn't change the pattern. What's it do?
1:03:27
Anger. Exactly.
1:03:29
Now we arrive at anger, anger, anger.
1:03:38
Anger itself does not necessarily create division.
1:03:42
Anger can tell us something has happened, a boundary was
1:03:46
crossed, an expectation was broken, something felt unjust,
1:03:51
something hurt, something frightened us, something
1:03:53
challenged what we believed. The question is, what happens
1:03:59
after the anger? Do we become aware of it?
1:04:05
Do we understand it? Do we communicate?
1:04:08
Do we establish A boundary? Do we resolve the event?
1:04:12
Or do we just carry on with it? Because anger carried long
1:04:16
enough can become resentment. What is resentment?
1:04:21
Resentment remembers. Resentment keeps score.
1:04:25
I remember what you did, I remember what you said, and I
1:04:30
remember how you treated me. Now today's event may no longer
1:04:35
be today's event. Today's discernments and
1:04:40
disagreements can have five years from unresolved events
1:04:44
standing behind it. One sentence awakens all of
1:04:49
them. Here we go again.
1:04:54
You hear that word. You see that?
1:04:56
That word again. Pattern.
1:05:01
Are we getting somewhere again? Here?
1:05:05
We heard it in The Art of Anxiety.
1:05:07
The pattern recognizes something familiar.
1:05:10
Now expand that beyond the individual.
1:05:13
I remember what you did becomes we remember what they did.
1:05:19
An event can outlive people who experience it.
1:05:24
Christopher Columbus an event. How much change?
1:05:28
Years, 500 years past and they're still with it.
1:05:33
An event can outline the people who experiences.
1:05:35
Stories are now passed down, warnings are passed down, pain
1:05:39
can be passed down, mistrust can be passed down, wisdom can be
1:05:43
passed down, and unresolved trauma can be passed down.
1:05:47
Pattern. There it is again.
1:05:51
Generations later, people can inherit a conflict whose
1:05:55
original participants are no longer alive.
1:06:00
At what point are we honoring history, and at what point are
1:06:05
we requiring another generation to continue carrying its
1:06:09
resentments? History needs to be remembered.
1:06:15
History can teach humanity. History can help prevent
1:06:20
repetition in humanity. What is repetition patterned by
1:06:25
man? Yes.
1:06:29
If history only teaches us who we are to hate, have we healed
1:06:36
anything? Leads us to what?
1:06:40
Jealousy and compassion. So here comes jealousy.
1:06:47
Comparison can become powerful fertilizers for division.
1:06:52
They have more, I have less. They were recognized, I wasn't.
1:07:00
They got a promotion, I didn't. Their family has this, Maya
1:07:07
doesn't. Their community received
1:07:09
something mine didn't. Someone was chosen.
1:07:13
Someone was forgiven. Someone received an opportunity
1:07:16
I wanted. Comparison can become jealousy,
1:07:22
Jealousy can become resentment, and resentment begins searching
1:07:28
for justifications. Instead of asking, what can I
1:07:33
learn from this event, we begin asking, why did they deserve it?
1:07:38
Why didn't I get it? You see it.
1:07:43
And today humanity can compare itself to thousands of people
1:07:48
before breakfast. Homes, bodies, relationships,
1:07:52
vacations, children, careers, money, popularity, beliefs,
1:07:55
success, you name it. And often we compare our entire
1:08:00
reality with the portion of someone else's reality that they
1:08:06
chose to show us. What does that do to someone
1:08:10
already carrying anger, jealousy, resentment, fear, and
1:08:13
insecurity? Well, if you said trust and
1:08:15
betrayal, here we go. Because now we reach trust.
1:08:21
A functioning relationship requires some level of trust.
1:08:26
A family requires trust. A community requires trust.
1:08:33
A business requires trust. A justice system requires trust.
1:08:40
A society requires trust. Trust does not require blind
1:08:45
abstinence. Trust means there is enough
1:08:48
confidence in a relationship or structure to participate within
1:08:52
it. Cheating gives us a very human
1:08:56
example. Cheating, that sacred valve.
1:09:00
Cheating. One person portrays another.
1:09:04
Trust is broken. The original event involves
1:09:08
those two people. Yet if that would remain
1:09:13
unresolved, what can happen? He cheated on me.
1:09:18
Can become Men cheat. She betrayed me can become.
1:09:23
Women can't be trusted. You hear those quite often,
1:09:29
right? One person's behavior has now
1:09:32
become a belief about an entire category of people, a category
1:09:39
that man made. The event became a pattern.
1:09:45
A pattern became an expectation. The expectation entered a future
1:09:49
relationship involving someone who had nothing to do with the
1:09:53
original event. There is division again, and the
1:10:00
same process can happen beyond romantic relationships.
1:10:05
If I no longer trust a leadership, I question
1:10:07
authority. If I no longer can trust an
1:10:09
institution, I question the information they're giving me.
1:10:12
If I no longer trust the justice system, I question the
1:10:16
consequences. If I no longer trust the media,
1:10:20
I search somewhere else, and if I eventually trust only people
1:10:25
who already agree with me, then my world becomes smaller until
1:10:30
the only voices I hear echo my own words, my own beliefs, my
1:10:37
own groupings. Then comes law, order, and
1:10:42
structure. This brings me to something I
1:10:46
believe. Humanity requires structure, law
1:10:49
and order lines, boundaries. Whenever human beings live
1:10:54
together, individual freedoms eventually meets another
1:10:59
person's individual freedoms. My freedom cannot mean your
1:11:04
existence becomes irrelevant. Your freedom cannot mean Mayan
1:11:10
disappears somewhere, somewhere between us.
1:11:15
There must be boundaries, responsibilities, consequences,
1:11:21
and an understandable structure for coexistence.
1:11:26
Look again at Mother Earth. Nature does not have one
1:11:29
universal leadership model. Some species form dominance
1:11:35
hierarchies, some organized through other social structures,
1:11:39
some cooperate collectively, and some live largely alone.
1:11:46
The structures differ. What interests me is the
1:11:50
organization. A functioning system has
1:11:54
relationships, roles, boundaries, communication,
1:11:57
feedback, balance. Humanity needs structure too,
1:12:00
and because we possess complex consciousness, language, memory,
1:12:07
morality, culture, and law, we initially and intentionally
1:12:14
create systems for living together.
1:12:19
Then comes the questions. Who leads?
1:12:23
Who follows? Who creates the rules?
1:12:26
Who enforces them? Who holds leadership
1:12:28
accountable? What happens when leadership
1:12:31
fails? What happens when people refuse
1:12:33
legitimate authority? What happens when authority
1:12:35
exceeds its legitimate boundaries?
1:12:37
And what happens when laws are not applied equally?
1:12:42
Wow, what happens when everyone believes their personal
1:12:46
interpretation should become the rule for everyone to follow?
1:12:52
Order without freedom can become oppression.
1:12:56
Freedom without responsibility can become chaos.
1:13:02
Again, Balance for law. In order to function, people
1:13:08
need some degree of trust and legitimacy of structure.
1:13:14
That does not mean everyone agrees with every law.
1:13:20
It means there is enough shared structure for society to
1:13:24
function. While disagreements can be
1:13:26
addressed when trust in that structure disappears.
1:13:31
Resentment enters. When resentment grows, sides
1:13:35
form. And then when those sides no
1:13:38
longer recognize one another's legitimacy, division becomes
1:13:43
much deeper than just a disagreement.
1:13:47
It's the capacity to process the difference.
1:13:52
So there's another part of the conversation that may be
1:13:55
uncomfortable. Human beings do not all possess
1:13:58
identical capacities. We differ physically,
1:14:01
intellectually, emotionally, developmentally, educationally,
1:14:04
and experimentally. We do not all process conflict
1:14:09
the same way. We do not all regulate emotions
1:14:13
the same way. We do not all understand
1:14:16
consequences the same way, and we do not all possess the same
1:14:20
ability to consider another's person's perspectives.
1:14:26
And sometimes a person may possess the ability to
1:14:30
understand another perspective and choose not to.
1:14:37
Those are not the same thing. So saying everyone simply needs
1:14:41
to understand one another sounds beautiful, right?
1:14:43
Wish we could. Human reality is more
1:14:46
complicated, right? Some people need guidance, Some
1:14:50
people need boundaries. Some people need education.
1:14:52
Some people need assistance. Some people need accountability.
1:14:55
Some people need consequences. Some people need protection.
1:14:58
Some people need compassion. And sometimes several of those
1:15:01
are necessary together. Compassion and accountability
1:15:06
are not enemies. Neither are freedom and
1:15:09
responsibility. Neither are inclusion and or
1:15:13
standards. What do we have?
1:15:15
Sensitivity, resilience, and the fear of offending.
1:15:19
Now we've reached sensitivity, right?
1:15:22
I believe in respect, I believe in compassion.
1:15:25
I believe human beings deserve dignity, I believe
1:15:28
discrimination deserves examination, and I believe
1:15:31
cruelty deserves boundaries. Yet I also believe human beings
1:15:36
need the ability to hear something uncomfortable without
1:15:40
automatically deciding that they have been harmed or it's not
1:15:44
politically correct. When did discomfort become
1:15:48
injury? When did disagreement become
1:15:52
disrespect? And when did questioning an idea
1:15:55
become attacking a person holding it?
1:15:58
And who decided protecting humanity meant protecting
1:16:02
humanity from every uncomfortable conversation?
1:16:08
Both can be very uncomfortable. Learning can be uncomfortable.
1:16:11
Accountability can become uncomfortable.
1:16:14
Being wrong can become uncomfortable.
1:16:16
Looking in a mirror can certainly be uncomfortable.
1:16:22
That does not automatically make those experiences harmful.
1:16:26
Perhaps sensitivity itself is not the problem.
1:16:29
Perhaps humanity has lost some of its balance between
1:16:33
sensitivity and resilience. Compassion without
1:16:38
accountability can become enabling.
1:16:41
Accountability without compassion can become cruelty.
1:16:46
Freedom without responsibility then can become chaos.
1:16:50
Authority without accountability can become oppression, and
1:16:54
individual individuality without community can become isolation.
1:17:01
Community without individuality can become conformity.
1:17:06
There it is again. Balance, inclusion, political
1:17:11
correctness, DEI, and merit. Here we go.
1:17:16
And this is where another difficult conversation begins.
1:17:21
Political correctness. You said it a little bit ago.
1:17:25
Inclusion, equality, equity, DEI, merit.
1:17:30
These words can divide a room before anyone even defines what
1:17:34
they even mean. So before I defend everybody, or
1:17:38
before I defend them and before I defend them and us, and before
1:17:44
I criticize, I want to ask why the why, girl?
1:17:50
Why wire? Here I am.
1:17:53
What problem was the idea attempting to solve?
1:17:56
What barriers were people trying to remove?
1:17:59
Where did inclusion create opportunity?
1:18:03
Where has implementation created resentment?
1:18:09
And where does fairness belong and where does merit belong?
1:18:13
If I need a surgeon, I want competence.
1:18:15
If I want a pilot, I want competence.
1:18:18
If I If someone is directing an aircraft, I want competence.
1:18:24
If someone is building a bridge, I want competence.
1:18:27
Human characteristics do not make a bridge stand.
1:18:31
Competence and education does. So inclusion and merit do not
1:18:36
need to become enemies. Perhaps the better question is,
1:18:40
can every qualified person receive a fair opportunity to
1:18:46
reach the starting line while competence remains the standard
1:18:51
for crossing that finish line? Now we have something worth
1:18:56
discussing, Because if inclusion becomes favoritism, resentment
1:19:01
can grow if merit becomes excuse to preserve unfair barriers, or
1:19:07
resentment can grow from the other direction.
1:19:10
If language becomes so controlled that people become
1:19:14
afraid to speak, resentment can grow.
1:19:19
If language becomes deliberately cruel and we call it freedom,
1:19:24
resentment can grow there as well.
1:19:27
Different Rd. same destination division.
1:19:34
I do not want a humanity incapable of of offending
1:19:39
anyone. I want a humanity consciousness
1:19:43
enough to disagree without destroying one another, because
1:19:49
if every uncomfortable word requires another word to
1:19:52
disappear, and every disagreement requires another
1:19:54
person to become silent, eventually we have not
1:19:59
necessarily created unity. We may have created resentment
1:20:04
wearing the clothing of harmony. And resentment does not
1:20:10
disappear simply because nobody speaks about it.
1:20:13
It goes underground, it waits, it finds another who share it,
1:20:19
it develops an identity and it creates a side and eventually
1:20:25
division returns. So the survival, it's the
1:20:29
pattern underneath it all, and perhaps underneath everything we
1:20:32
have discussed is something even more basic.
1:20:35
Survival the survival of humanity.
1:20:40
Life survives, Plants survives, animal survives, insects
1:20:44
survive. Human life survives Different
1:20:48
forms, different systems, different expressions of
1:20:51
survival. Yet life continuously responds
1:20:56
to the conditions affecting the ability to continue.
1:21:00
A plant reaches towards light. Roots reach for the water and
1:21:04
nutrients. Plants compete for space and
1:21:07
resources. Animals search for food.
1:21:09
They protect territory. They defend their young.
1:21:13
Predator seeks prey. Prey attempts to survive the
1:21:17
predator. Life responds.
1:21:20
Life adapts. Life continues.
1:21:23
The human beings enter a a a a physical experience during that
1:21:29
same thing. Think about the infinite
1:21:32
birthright before that child. Literally before the child can
1:21:36
understand politics, religion, race, money, social class,
1:21:39
nationality, or any other categories humanity will
1:21:42
eventually teach them. The physical body is already
1:21:45
working to survive, to breathe, to regulate, to seek
1:21:50
nourishment, to respond to discomfort, to seek safety, and
1:21:54
to signal a need. That infant does not need to
1:22:00
understand that the word survival for the body to
1:22:04
participate in it. And from my spiritual
1:22:08
perspectives, an infant is much more than a physical body
1:22:12
beginning from nothing. I believe consciousness has
1:22:16
entered another human experience carrying a journey of its own.
1:22:19
Yet physically, this beautiful new baby immediately enters the
1:22:24
conditions of life here on earth.
1:22:27
It must survive. And perhaps we have reached
1:22:31
something important. What if survival itself is not
1:22:35
the problem? Survival is necessary.
1:22:40
What happens when the human mind expands survival beyond
1:22:43
immediate physical survival? I need food, I need water, I
1:22:46
need shelter, I need safety. The human consciousness develops
1:22:49
identity, the family, the community, the religion, the
1:22:54
country, the beliefs, the reputation, the possessions, the
1:22:57
the the status, the truth, the the sides and perhaps the
1:23:03
survival response begins protecting more than the
1:23:06
physical body now. We protect identity.
1:23:12
We protect beliefs. We protect relationships.
1:23:14
We protect status. We protect territory traditions.
1:23:17
We protect the interpretation of truth.
1:23:21
And when one of those feels threatened, the physical threat
1:23:26
may not be present, yet the reaction can still feel
1:23:30
enormous. Someone disagrees with me.
1:23:35
Am I physically unsafe? Perhaps not.
1:23:38
Yet my belief feels challenged. Someone criticizes my group.
1:23:43
My physical survival may not be threatened, yet my identity
1:23:47
feels attacked. Someone receives something I
1:23:50
wanted. My survival may not be
1:23:53
threatened, yet jealousy, resentment, or fear begins
1:23:58
responding as though something has taken me from it.
1:24:03
Why? Ego trained ego.
1:24:09
Someone receives something I wanted.
1:24:11
My survival may not be threatened, yet jealousy comes
1:24:14
in as if something was taken from me, but it wasn't given to
1:24:21
me or I didn't purchase it. Maybe that is why disagreement
1:24:26
can become so emotional. We are not always defending an
1:24:30
idea. Sometimes we are defending the
1:24:34
identity we built around the idea.
1:24:38
And when that identity feels threatened, ego then may reflect
1:24:42
as though that self itself is threatened.
1:24:47
Fight, defend, reject, exclude, recruit allies.
1:24:52
True sides protect the group. There is an ancient pattern
1:24:56
there. Again, pattern.
1:24:59
Except, except now, the territory may not be land.
1:25:09
The territory may be an idea. The resource may not be food.
1:25:14
The resource may be power, the threat may not be a predator,
1:25:19
the threat may be another person's opinion, and the tribe
1:25:23
may no longer be the people physically surrounding us.
1:25:26
The tribe may be political, religious, cultural, social,
1:25:29
digital, ideological. Perhaps humanity never stopped
1:25:33
operating within survival mode. We expand what we believe needs
1:25:39
surviving. And that brings me back to
1:25:42
Mother Earth. The tree survives, the animal
1:25:45
survive, the insect survives. The human survives.
1:25:48
Each encounters pressure, each responds to its environment.
1:25:52
Each seeks what supports continuously exists different
1:25:59
physical expressions, different mechanics, and different
1:26:06
mechanisms. And within my philosophy I see
1:26:09
that familiar energetic pattern moving through them.
1:26:12
So perhaps, so just perhaps, survival is not humanity's
1:26:17
defect. Perhaps survival is part of
1:26:20
life. The question for the conscious
1:26:23
human being becomes what? Am I actually protecting my
1:26:27
life, my family, my safety, a necessary boundary?
1:26:33
Or am I protecting an unresolved wound?
1:26:37
My pride, my resentment, my position, my group, my need to
1:26:41
be right, my fear of being wrong, my ego.
1:26:46
There, there, there's the awareness.
1:26:49
Do you see it? Because consciousness gives us
1:26:52
something extraordinary. We can examine all those
1:26:56
survival responses while we are living it.
1:27:02
We can ask why I'm a why girl? Why?
1:27:04
Why am I fighting? Why am I angry?
1:27:06
Why do I need these people on my side?
1:27:09
Why does this person disagree? Disagreements feel threatening
1:27:13
to me. Why am I carrying an event that
1:27:16
ended years ago? Why am I fighting a person who
1:27:19
never personally harmed me? And why am I defending a pattern
1:27:24
simply because it was handed down to me?
1:27:30
Maybe survival created the instinct to protect the circle,
1:27:34
and somewhere throughout humanity's journey, we became
1:27:37
confused about where that circle ends.
1:27:39
Myself, my family, my group, my religion, my race, my culture,
1:27:43
my country, my side, and perhaps consciousness asked us to expand
1:27:47
that circle one more time. Humanity, then perhaps further
1:27:52
life. Because the human, the animal,
1:27:57
the insect, tree, fungus, and Mother Earth herself, they are
1:28:00
not separate stories occurring on separate planets.
1:28:05
They exist within the same circle of life.
1:28:08
Earth is the only planet in this universe, in this Galaxy that
1:28:12
has trees. Trees by far are much richer
1:28:18
than gold or silver that could be found.
1:28:21
And the other planets. Did you know that they exist
1:28:28
within the same circle of life? Maybe the deepest question of
1:28:32
division is not why are we different?
1:28:36
Maybe it's when did survival convince us that connection
1:28:41
required an enemy? So then, what makes humanity
1:28:45
dividable? Perhaps there's like no single
1:28:48
one answer. Maybe division feeds from an
1:28:52
ancient collection of of patterns.
1:28:55
Competition, survival, belonging, exclusion, fear,
1:28:58
anger, resentment, jealousy, betrayal, broken trusts,
1:29:01
comparison, the need for structure, the struggle between
1:29:06
freedom and responsibility, the desire to belong, the fear of
1:29:09
being excluded, the need to be right, the inability to process
1:29:13
another perspective and unwillingness to process another
1:29:16
perspective. And then, and then their stories
1:29:19
we can continue telling long after the original event has
1:29:23
happened. This is why I keep returning to
1:29:25
consciousness, because consciousness can magnify that
1:29:29
division. And then we can remember an
1:29:31
event. We can interpret it, judge it,
1:29:34
repeat it, teach it, organize around it, recruit others into
1:29:39
it, pass it from one generation to the next, to the next, to the
1:29:42
next. Yet if consciousness possesses
1:29:46
that power to carry an event forward, perhaps consciousness
1:29:51
also possesses the power to stop carrying it.
1:29:55
I'm not asking humanity to blindly accept my truce.
1:29:59
I'm asking humanity to become consciousness enough to question
1:30:02
itself, question mine, question yours, the system, the
1:30:07
opposition, question the history, question the solutions,
1:30:10
and then ask why are we attempting to heal?
1:30:17
Why are we attempting to heal? Perhaps division is not the only
1:30:20
wound. Perhaps division is what happens
1:30:24
when unresolved events continue gathering energy.
1:30:28
And perhaps before humanity can heal itself, we need to
1:30:32
understand what we have been feeding it.
1:30:36
Food for thought. Because Mother Earth contains
1:30:40
difference. Mother Earth contains
1:30:43
competition, Mother Earth contains boundaries, Mother
1:30:46
Earth contains the struggle, and still the forest remains
1:30:50
connected. They don't beat each other up,
1:30:52
they don't set themselves on fire, they don't talk about the
1:30:56
other one. Different organisms, different
1:30:59
functions, different needs, different expressions of life. 1
1:31:03
circle unity. Maybe humanity's greatest
1:31:07
challenge is not learning how to eliminate differences.
1:31:14
Maybe it is remembering that our differences never removed us
1:31:18
from the same circle in the 1st place.
1:31:22
And that takes us to Part 3, which is the balance or fate.
1:31:27
When humanity recognizes the pattern.
1:31:29
I'm going to take a quick break. And it's going to be quick, and
1:31:31
I'll be right back. Stay tuned.
1:31:34
Small steps still get you to big places.
1:31:37
Keep paddling whenever things get rough or it feels like
1:31:45
you're at the edge, Remember this.
1:31:48
Storms pass. Tough times don't last, but
1:31:52
tough people do. OK, Thank you, Beaker.
1:32:01
Here we go recognizing the pattern.
1:32:03
So now I want to move our conversation somewhere much
1:32:07
deeper. We have talked about division
1:32:10
between people. Have we talked about families,
1:32:13
friendships, communities, religions, cultures, politics,
1:32:16
nations, even the childhood moment when someone first hears
1:32:20
you can't play with me? We've talked about these.
1:32:22
Yet what is division did not begin with humanity.
1:32:26
What if what we call division is part of a much larger pattern
1:32:32
with creation itself? Did I say that there's a pattern
1:32:37
in creation? Look at Mother Earth.
1:32:39
Here we go again. Life has existed here, informs
1:32:45
humanity, will never witness within our own eyes.
1:32:50
Species have emerged, flourished, competed, adapted,
1:32:54
and disappeared. Entire ecosystems have
1:32:57
transformed. Plants have vanished.
1:33:00
Insects have vanished. Aquatic species have vanished.
1:33:05
Civilizations have risen, they've divided, they've
1:33:08
transformed, and they have fallen.
1:33:11
Earth itself carries the evidence in her layers.
1:33:14
So what we are experienced today is not new.
1:33:17
It's a pattern. And when I ponder these layers,
1:33:22
I keep coming back to one question.
1:33:24
What happens when something within creation can no longer
1:33:28
remain in balance with the whole?
1:33:31
Wow. I'm not claiming to know the
1:33:35
mind of God. I am philosophizing.
1:33:41
I am asking you to ponder with me for one moment.
1:33:45
Could creation itself contain a process through which imbalance
1:33:50
eventually demands change? Not punishment, not revenge.
1:33:56
Not an angry God pointing a finger from the heavens laying
1:34:01
guilt. Now, I'm not saying that cause
1:34:04
consequence, learning, adaptation, and balance.
1:34:09
Maybe what humanity calls destruction is sometimes part of
1:34:12
a much larger transformation we cannot see while we're still
1:34:17
living inside of it. Think about the dinosaurs.
1:34:21
Their world changed dramatically.
1:34:24
Most dinosaur lineages just disappeared.
1:34:28
Other forms of life survived and diversified.
1:34:31
Even part of the dinosaurs lineage continues through birds.
1:34:35
Life changed form. Think about ancient
1:34:39
civilization. Egypt did not simply vanish. 1
1:34:43
morning dynasties rose and fell. Political power shifted, beliefs
1:34:49
changed, foreign powers arrived, and cultures blended.
1:34:54
Structures disappeared while pieces of civilization continued
1:34:58
through language, architecture, religion, knowledge, and
1:35:02
descendants. Again, the pattern was not
1:35:06
simply existence followed by nothingness, it was change.
1:35:13
So perhaps the question is not why does God destroy?
1:35:17
Perhaps the question is what does creation do with imbalance?
1:35:22
And maybe the question sitting in front of us throughout
1:35:25
Earth's history is adapt, transform, reorganize, restore,
1:35:30
balance or fade from the form you once occupied?
1:35:36
Balance or fade. Those 3 words have become
1:35:41
extremely important in in this philosophy that I'm going down.
1:35:45
Balance or fade. I I do not mean conform or
1:35:49
disappear. I do not mean believe what
1:35:52
everyone else believes. And I certainly do not mean
1:35:55
diversity needs to disappear. Quite the opposite.
1:36:04
Creation is filled with diversity.
1:36:06
The forest is diverse, the ocean is diverse, and human body is
1:36:09
diverse and humanity is diverse. The heart cell does not need to
1:36:15
become a brain cell to belong to the same body.
1:36:20
A tree does not need to become a flower.
1:36:23
A bird does not need to become a fish.
1:36:27
Different does not mean divided. Creation does not require
1:36:32
sameness, and creation requires relationships.
1:36:37
The problem begins when different loses its relationship
1:36:42
with the whole, when survival becomes domination, when
1:36:48
belonging becomes exclusion, when belief becomes destruction,
1:36:53
and when power becomes control. When I am becomes therefore, you
1:36:59
cannot be. That is no longer diversity,
1:37:03
that is destructive. Division and history gives
1:37:08
humanity plenty of opportunity to study what happens when
1:37:13
etiologies or movements embrace domination and and
1:37:19
dehumanization, terror or the destruction of people outside of
1:37:24
their group. The names change, the centuries
1:37:27
change, the language changes, the weapons change.
1:37:31
The pattern remains recognizable, and humanity
1:37:36
repeatedly arrives at the same realization.
1:37:41
We cannot indefinitely destroy one another and still expect the
1:37:48
whole to remain balanced. Perhaps that is not one of the
1:37:53
oldest lessons creation has been presenting to us.
1:37:57
Or has it? Did fear of God begin with
1:38:01
catastrophe? Consider our ancestors.
1:38:04
Imagine standing thousands of years ago beneath the sky.
1:38:09
You could not scientifically explain it.
1:38:12
Thunder shakes the ground, lightning splits the darkness.
1:38:15
Rivers rise. The drought destroys the
1:38:17
harvest. Fires consume the landscape,
1:38:20
Earth moves beneath our feet, and the sun disappears during an
1:38:23
eclipse. You do not have meteorology, you
1:38:26
do not have satellites, and you do not have geological models.
1:38:30
You have an event and you need to understand that event.
1:38:36
Across human cultures, gods, goddesses become associated with
1:38:39
tremendous forces of creation, storms, oceans, fertility,
1:38:43
destruction, death, rebirth, harvest, and celestial events.
1:38:47
Catastrophe became intertwined with mythologies, floods,
1:38:54
stories appear across numerous traditions.
1:38:57
Cycles of destruction and renewal appear across numerous
1:39:01
traditions. Divine judgement appears.
1:39:04
Divine restoration appears. Death and rebirth appear.
1:39:07
Chaos followed by order appears. So I began pondering.
1:39:14
Could this help explain humanity's ancient fear of God?
1:39:20
That pattern of faith? Oh my gosh.
1:39:25
Not because we can prove God created a storm to punish
1:39:28
somebody. We can't.
1:39:29
We cannot say that the question is what humanity learned from
1:39:35
experiencing powers beyond that human control.
1:39:38
Perhaps ancient people looked at catastrophe and understood
1:39:42
something very simple. Our actions matter, order
1:39:46
matters, relationships matter, and religious systems began
1:39:50
carrying moral expectations. Different traditions use
1:39:57
different words, different stories, different
1:40:00
understandings. Of divine.
1:40:02
Yet across many of them we find a remarkably familiar
1:40:07
humanitarian principle. Treat another with the
1:40:11
consideration you desire for yourself.
1:40:16
Different words, similar lesson. Why?
1:40:20
Why? Maybe because humanity
1:40:22
discovered something essential to survival.
1:40:25
A community cannot continuously destroy the relationships
1:40:29
necessary for the community to exist.
1:40:34
And perhaps early humanity understood that lesson through
1:40:38
fear. Fear of consequence, fear of
1:40:42
nature, fear of authority, fear of God.
1:40:45
And then perhaps the consciousness began changing
1:40:48
instead of do the right thing. Because I'm afraid of what will
1:40:51
happen if I don't. We begin asking, can I do the
1:40:55
humanitarian thing? Because I understand why it
1:40:57
matters. That is a completely and
1:41:00
different level of consciousness, fear, obedience,
1:41:04
understanding, awareness, consciousness.
1:41:06
Choice maybe is part of the evolution.
1:41:09
So the human mind as a survival, as a survival mechanism.
1:41:14
Every living Organism has mechanisms for survival.
1:41:18
Plants reach towards light. Roots seek water and
1:41:21
nourishments. Animals defend territory.
1:41:24
Predators hunt and prey flee. A newborn seeks warmth,
1:41:30
nourishment and connection. Life seeks life.
1:41:35
Humanity carries those biological instincts too.
1:41:39
Yet we were given something extraordinary.
1:41:42
We become aware of our own behavior.
1:41:46
We can remember what happened before us.
1:41:49
We can study history. We can recognize patterns.
1:41:56
We can imagine consequences that have not even happened yet.
1:42:01
We can examine our own instincts and decide whether acting upon
1:42:08
them serves us. Maybe our greatest survival
1:42:14
mechanism is not physical strength.
1:42:18
Maybe it is mental acuity combined with consciousness.
1:42:23
A lion does not sit beneath a tree questioning the morality of
1:42:28
being a lion. Humanity can ask, why did I do
1:42:33
that? Why do we keep doing this?
1:42:36
Who taught me to fear them? Where did this belief begin?
1:42:41
Why does the pattern keep returning?
1:42:43
What happens if we continue? What happens if we change?
1:42:47
This ability may be one of the most extraordinary developments
1:42:51
in creation, possibly because perhaps for the first time, life
1:42:57
can actually recognize a destructive pattern while still
1:43:03
participating in it. And if we can recognize it,
1:43:09
perhaps we can change it. Humanity develops patterns.
1:43:13
This is where something became extremely clear to me.
1:43:17
Humanity develops patterns. An event occurs.
1:43:20
Human beings respond. The respond helps someone
1:43:24
survive the event, and the response is then repeated.
1:43:29
Children observe it, families inherit it, communities
1:43:32
normalize it, cultures preserve it, and institutions organize
1:43:37
around it. Generations later, humanity may
1:43:42
no longer remember the original event.
1:43:45
We simply say that's just how things are.
1:43:49
Is it? Or are we repeating yesterday's
1:43:53
survival response instead of today's completely different
1:43:57
event? Think about that.
1:44:00
We aren't just who we are. We evolve.
1:44:03
We become a response can survive longer than a problem it
1:44:10
originally responded to. Fear can become tradition.
1:44:13
Protection can become exclusion. Loyalty can become tribalism.
1:44:19
Leadership can become domination.
1:44:21
Pain can become anger. Anger can become hatred.
1:44:25
Hatred can become division. Division can become another
1:44:29
event. And now another generation
1:44:33
learns that response. The cycle continues.
1:44:37
Pattern until someone sees it, and then another sees it, and
1:44:42
another. Now we go into collective
1:44:44
patterns requiring collective awareness.
1:44:46
This brings me to into something else very personal to my
1:44:50
spiritual philosophies. Through dreams, meditations,
1:44:53
channelings, experiences I understand as divine guidance,
1:44:57
one message continuously returns to me.
1:45:01
Clear the pattern. I hear it.
1:45:05
It's downloaded. It's it's it leaves an
1:45:08
impression in my soul. Clean the pattern.
1:45:10
Clear it. For many years I thought about
1:45:13
patterns largely through individual healing.
1:45:18
What pattern is this person repeating?
1:45:21
Where did it begin? How did it begin?
1:45:23
What event created it? What emotion continues feeding
1:45:27
it and what awareness can help transform it?
1:45:31
Yet lately my pondering has has expanded greatly.
1:45:37
What about humanity's patterns? Can one person clear a
1:45:41
collective pattern? I don't believe one particular
1:45:46
practitioner simply waves a hand and clears humanity.
1:45:50
I don't. I don't believe in that.
1:45:52
I can't. No one's that powerful.
1:45:54
No one is God. My own grandmaster has taught
1:45:58
that our attunements and energetic tools used for
1:46:02
individual work do not mean we can simply clear collective
1:46:08
patterns. And I honor that wisdom deeply.
1:46:12
And I began asking another question.
1:46:15
What if collective healing happens differently?
1:46:19
What if collectively clear a pattern by collectively becoming
1:46:24
aware of it? One person sees it, another
1:46:28
recognizes it. A family changes its response.
1:46:32
A community changes its behavior.
1:46:34
A generation refuses to repeat something that previous
1:46:38
generations considered normal. Here comes your 18 to 25 year
1:46:43
olds folks. Eventually enough individual
1:46:46
changes alters the collective learned.
1:46:51
Become be aware. Maybe collective healing isn't
1:46:56
one person healing everybody. Maybe is enough people becoming
1:47:00
conscious that the old pattern no longer receives enough
1:47:05
participation to sustain itself? Think about that.
1:47:10
The pattern doesn't necessarily need to be fought.
1:47:13
It needs to stop being fed. And now division looks different
1:47:19
again. If division is a collective
1:47:21
pattern, fighting division with greater division can continue
1:47:25
feeding the exact energetic structure we say we want to
1:47:30
heal. We divide ourselves against
1:47:34
division. We hate those who hate.
1:47:37
We dehumanize those who dehumanize.
1:47:41
And the pattern says, thank you. You fed me again.
1:47:46
If you can hate, that means you hate.
1:47:48
If you think somebody else is hating, then you know what hate
1:47:51
means. It's in you.
1:47:52
It's your seed. What if consciousness interrupts
1:47:57
it? Not weakness, not surrender, Not
1:48:00
allowing violence or injustice. We can maintain boundaries.
1:48:04
We can protect life. We can enforce law.
1:48:07
We can oppose destructive actions and still remain aware
1:48:13
enough not to become the very pattern that we are attempting
1:48:18
to remove. That is a far more difficult
1:48:22
form of strength. I I agree lower vibrations as
1:48:28
teachers. Why is this?
1:48:31
I believe lower vibration events can become teachers.
1:48:39
Well, pain teaches us. Fear teaches us.
1:48:42
Anger teaches us. Jealousy teaches us.
1:48:46
Loss teaches, division teaches not.
1:48:49
Because suffering itself is something I celebrate, because
1:48:54
the event can reveal what is out of balance for me.
1:49:01
Once that lesson becomes conscious, perhaps the
1:49:06
fierceness of that particular pattern no longer needs to
1:49:10
remain the same. We understand, we integrate, we
1:49:14
heal. Balance begins returning, and
1:49:18
another phase begins, and another event arrives carrying
1:49:24
another opportunity of awareness.
1:49:27
That's life, folks. Not a straight line.
1:49:31
A cycle, an event. Experience, pattern, awareness,
1:49:35
understanding, healing, balance. The next event comes and now we
1:49:41
come to something I personally believe carries enormous
1:49:43
spiritual significance. The moon creations rhythm of
1:49:47
learning. Look up.
1:49:49
The moon has been cycling above humanity for as long as humanity
1:49:54
has been looking towards the heavens.
1:49:56
Scientifically, we know the Moon participates in Earth's physical
1:50:01
rhythms patterns most visibly through our tides.
1:50:09
Living organisms have also evolved behaviors associated
1:50:13
with lunar rhythms, and human civilization has used learn
1:50:17
lunar cycles for calendars, agriculture's birthing ceremony,
1:50:22
and religious observances. My spiritual philosophy asks
1:50:26
another question. What if the lunar cycle is also
1:50:30
a divine rhythm through which we experience cycles, that we learn
1:50:37
patterns? I'm not presenting that as a
1:50:40
scientific fact. I am presenting it as one of my
1:50:43
spiritual ponderings. Look at its symbolisms.
1:50:47
Darkness, beginning, growth, illumination, fullness, release,
1:50:51
return, and beginning again. The moon never remains full.
1:50:57
It never remains dark. It moves its cycles and it
1:51:00
transforms. What if creation placed the
1:51:03
lesson above our heads? Nothing stays in one phase
1:51:09
forever, not even humans. Perhaps humanity does the same
1:51:13
thing. We enter an event, energy
1:51:16
builds, something becomes visible, we experience all the
1:51:20
fullness. Then comes release, integration,
1:51:23
and eventually another beginning.
1:51:26
Maybe some of humanity's patterns return because the
1:51:29
lesson has not yet been collectively understood.
1:51:33
Different generations, different country, different names,
1:51:37
different technologies, same pattern.
1:51:40
And every cycle gives us another opportunity to recognize it
1:51:44
sooner. So what is awakening?
1:51:48
Maybe awakening isn't suddenly becoming spiritual.
1:51:52
Maybe awakening isn't crystals, meditation, religion, psychic
1:51:56
ability, philosophy, or a particular belief system.
1:52:00
Maybe awakening begins with something much simpler than what
1:52:05
we're even looking at. We recognize the pattern while
1:52:07
we're still inside of it. Instead of waiting for the
1:52:10
collapse to teach us, instead of waiting for another war, another
1:52:15
broken family, another destroyed relationship, another generation
1:52:19
of resentment, another catastrophic consequences, we
1:52:23
see the pattern and collectively we begin changing our
1:52:28
participation in it. Perhaps consciousness is
1:52:32
creation's way of giving humanity the ability to restore
1:52:36
balance before catastrophically something has to do it for us.
1:52:45
That brings me back to the question we began with.
1:52:47
Does division mean extinction of God when something becomes
1:52:51
imbalanced? I can't answer that.
1:52:54
None of us knows the mind of God.
1:52:57
Yes, Earth gives us something that we can observe.
1:53:01
When conditions change, life responds life some.
1:53:06
Life adapts. Some transform, some replace,
1:53:09
some relocate, some disappear, But life still continues.
1:53:14
So perhaps the spiritual lesson isn't God destroys what God
1:53:17
doesn't like. Perhaps the lesson is much
1:53:19
larger. Creation continues moving
1:53:22
forward toward relationship, adaptation, and balance.
1:53:25
And anything living within creation must participate in
1:53:29
that movement. That includes us.
1:53:34
Maybe humanity's challenge is no longer simply survival of the
1:53:38
strongest. Maybe the next challenge is
1:53:42
survival of the awareness. Not awareness that makes us
1:53:46
superior. Awareness that makes us
1:53:48
responsible. Responsible for recognizing our
1:53:53
patterns, responsible for understanding our participation,
1:53:57
and responsible for healing what we are capable of healing.
1:54:04
Responsible for protecting without becoming destructive to
1:54:09
humanity. Responsible for maintaining our
1:54:13
differences without requiring someone else's differences to
1:54:18
disappear. Unconscious division is so
1:54:23
perhaps the choice before humanity is not left or right,
1:54:27
not this religion or that religion, not this race or that
1:54:31
race or not this nation or that nation.
1:54:34
The deeper choice may be Do we recognize the pattern?
1:54:39
Are we just repeating it? Do we learn consciously or do we
1:54:43
wait for consequence to teach us?
1:54:47
Do we remain diverse and connected, or become divided and
1:54:51
destructive? Do we participate in balance or
1:54:56
continue feeding imbalance until creation changes the conditions
1:54:59
around us? That's a lot to think about.
1:55:04
Maybe humanity has been receiving the same lessons
1:55:06
through countless events, culture, civilizations, and
1:55:09
generations. And maybe we're finally becoming
1:55:14
conscious enough to hear it. Coexist, unite, balance, heal,
1:55:19
learn, survive, evolve. Because creation does not
1:55:22
require sameness. Creation requires relationship.
1:55:27
And when humanity collectively sees the pattern, humanity gains
1:55:31
the opportunity to collectively change that pattern.
1:55:34
Balance or fade. And that brings us to part 4,
1:55:38
when awareness changes the patterns.
1:55:41
Folks, I'm going to be over 2 hours today.
1:55:43
I understand it and I got to take a break.
1:55:44
When we come back, we're going to be when awareness changes
1:55:47
that pattern, I'll be right back.
1:55:49
You're stronger Whenever things get rough or it feels like
1:56:00
you're at the edge, remember this.
1:56:03
Storms pass. Tough times don't last, but
1:56:08
tough people do. All right, we're back going into
1:56:16
it now. We ended just part three with
1:56:18
three words. I want you to listen to those 3
1:56:21
words again. Balance or fade.
1:56:26
We looked at creation, we looked at extinction, we looked at
1:56:29
catastrophe, and we looked at mythology, survival, human
1:56:33
behavior, collective patterns, and the possibility that
1:56:36
humanity can become conscious of a pattern while we are still
1:56:40
living inside of it. Now.
1:56:43
Now comes the difficult part. What do we do once we see it?
1:56:49
That's whatever. What do we do?
1:56:51
Because awareness alone does not automatically change anything.
1:56:54
I can recognize my anger and continue being angry.
1:56:58
I can recognize my prejudice but continue practicing it.
1:57:03
I can recognize my division and continue choosing sides.
1:57:07
I can recognize my destructive pattern and continue feeding it.
1:57:12
So perhaps awareness is not a destination.
1:57:16
Awareness is a doorway. Do we open it or do you keep it
1:57:22
closed? And what walks through the
1:57:25
doorway is responsibility if you're going to walk through it,
1:57:29
Not blame responsibility. There's a big difference.
1:57:33
Blame. Ask whose fault is this
1:57:36
responsibility? Ask What is my participation in
1:57:40
this? That question changes the world,
1:57:45
changes humanity, changes our balance.
1:57:50
What is my part? We spend enormous amounts of
1:57:55
energy identifying everyone else's part.
1:57:58
They caused it. They started it.
1:58:00
They voted for it. Well, you glad you did that?
1:58:03
They voted. They believe their religion, you
1:58:05
know, teaches it. That generation taught it well.
1:58:08
Who'd we learn it from? The government allowed it.
1:58:10
The family raised them that way. Their group is the problem.
1:58:15
You hear those words? Maybe some of those observations
1:58:20
do contain truths. Yet consciousness asks another
1:58:24
question. Where am I standing inside of
1:58:26
the pattern now? Forget the past.
1:58:29
Where is it tainting me now? I'm sharing information because
1:58:35
it is true or because it confirms what I already believe.
1:58:42
Am I listening to understand, or waiting for my opportunity just
1:58:47
to respond? Am I disagreeing with someone's
1:58:51
actions or deciding that the entire human being has no value
1:58:57
because of that action? Am I establishing A boundary or
1:59:02
seeking the revenge? Am I protecting myself or
1:59:08
punishing someone? Am I educating or humiliating?
1:59:15
Am I seeking justice or am I enjoying the destruction of
1:59:19
someone I've designed? They deserve it.
1:59:22
Wow, those questions are really uncomfortable.
1:59:25
If you felt that, then good. Sometimes discomfort is where
1:59:30
awareness begins doing its work. Because it isn't it's.
1:59:34
It is easy to identify division when someone else is creating
1:59:37
it. It is much harder to recognize
1:59:41
division when we believe our division is justified.
1:59:48
The righteousness of division, right?
1:59:51
This may be one of humanity's most dangerous patterns.
1:59:53
Because we really do. We rarely, rarely, rarely divide
1:59:57
ourselves while announcing I am becoming part of the problem.
2:00:02
You don't see too many people doing that.
2:00:05
We divide ourselves believing we're right, not the problem.
2:00:09
Sometimes we are right about the events.
2:00:13
And some Someone may have harmed another person.
2:00:18
A government may have acted unjustly.
2:00:21
A movement may have advocated violence.
2:00:24
A law may need changing. A crime may require consequence.
2:00:31
A boundary may absolutely need to be established.
2:00:37
Being consciously positive does not require pretending harmful
2:00:42
actions are harmless. Balance does not mean allowing
2:00:48
everything. Compassion does not eliminate
2:00:52
accountability. Love does not require access.
2:00:57
Peace does not mean the absence of law, and unity does not
2:01:02
require agreement. The question becomes, what
2:01:07
happens inside of me while I confront what I believe is
2:01:13
wrong? Because if another person's
2:01:18
hatred teaches me to hate them, if another person's intolerance
2:01:24
makes me intolerant? If another person's
2:01:27
dehumanization convinces me that they are no longer human, then
2:01:34
the then the event may have changed sides while the pattern
2:01:38
remained exactly the same pattern.
2:01:43
That's worth pondering. We change the players, we change
2:01:47
the justification, and we change the language.
2:01:51
And the energetic pattern survived.
2:01:55
We do not heal division by creating another division.
2:01:59
This is where collective healing becomes very difficult.
2:02:03
It is an identity. One side has everything good and
2:02:07
the other one is everything evil.
2:02:09
That's division. I have already recreated the
2:02:13
structure of division. That does not mean good and
2:02:16
harmful actions are identical. They're not.
2:02:20
It means a human action and a human existence are not the same
2:02:26
thing. We can condemn terrorism without
2:02:30
condemning an entire population. We can reject religious
2:02:36
extremisms without condemning everyone participating in that
2:02:40
religion. We can challenge a government
2:02:44
without hating its citizens. And we can disagree politically
2:02:49
without believing half of our neighbors are our enemies.
2:02:54
We can enforce laws without losing compassion, and we can
2:02:58
protect boundaries without abandoning humanity.
2:03:02
We can say no and still remain conscious.
2:03:09
Maybe that is one of humanity's first or this next lessons.
2:03:13
Not learning how to avoid conflict.
2:03:16
Learning how to enter conflict without becoming the conflict.
2:03:21
The power of the pause between event and response.
2:03:24
What do you hear me say? Rescind.
2:03:28
Here we go. An event happens and immediately
2:03:32
our minds want to respond by anger, fear, defense, judgement,
2:03:36
retaliation, protection. Those responses helped our
2:03:42
ancestors survive. It's a survival tactic.
2:03:45
Some still protect that way today.
2:03:49
Yet human consciousness gives us something extraordinary.
2:03:53
There is a space between experiencing an event and
2:03:57
deciding what we will create from it.
2:04:01
Sometimes that space lasts seconds, sometimes years.
2:04:06
Inside that space lives choices, and a choice is where that
2:04:11
pattern can change dramatically, and it can become an event of
2:04:18
reality. Someone insults me?
2:04:21
The old pattern insult them back.
2:04:23
Awareness. Why did that affect me?
2:04:26
Understanding something inside of me reacted ballots, I can
2:04:32
establish my boundary without becoming the behavior I just
2:04:37
rejected. Now the next event changes.
2:04:41
Not because the first event disappeared, because I stopped
2:04:45
carrying its pattern forward. See that pattern?
2:04:50
I refused it. I don't believe it, so I refuse
2:04:54
it. And now I get to the next one
2:04:57
because I stopped carrying that pattern forward.
2:04:59
Imagine that happening collectively.
2:05:03
Collaboration brings awareness. This is where collaboration
2:05:09
becomes important to me. I ponder, You ponder.
2:05:12
Someone listens. Listening.
2:05:15
Now see something neither of us saw?
2:05:19
Someone disagrees and makes us examine that theory differently.
2:05:25
Someone brings history. Someone brings science.
2:05:28
Someone brings faith. Someone brings lived experience.
2:05:31
Somebody asks why, and suddenly our individual awareness
2:05:37
expands. Collaborations does not require
2:05:41
agreement. In fact, genuine collaboration
2:05:44
often requires difference. If everyone at the table sees
2:05:48
exactly what I see, who is going to show me what I cannot see?
2:05:55
That is the most beautiful thing in diversity.
2:06:01
Difference can expand awareness without becoming division.
2:06:05
Maybe humanity has confused agreement with unity.
2:06:11
Agreement says we think alike. Unity says we remain connected
2:06:17
while thinking differently. Now that is a skill worth
2:06:24
developing because most human beings have not been able to
2:06:28
achieve that skill. That if humanity requires
2:06:35
agreement before we can even coexist, humanity will never
2:06:39
coexist. 8 billion human beings are not going to share one
2:06:47
opinion. We are not going to share one
2:06:51
religion, one culture, one political philosophy, one
2:06:55
understanding of God, one interpretation of history, one
2:06:59
lifestyle, or one answer. And perhaps we were never
2:07:04
intended to. Maybe diversity gives
2:07:08
consciousness more perspectives through which we can understand
2:07:18
creation. Then collaboration becomes one
2:07:21
of the ways those perspectives meet, and awareness grows.
2:07:29
Awareness lightens the soul. When I become aware of a
2:07:33
pattern, something changes within me.
2:07:37
Maybe the event itself remains. Maybe another person's behavior
2:07:42
will remain. Maybe history cannot be
2:07:45
rewritten. Yet I no longer need to carry
2:07:49
that event in the exactly the same way.
2:07:53
I can understand it. I can recognize my
2:07:56
participation. I can release, but no longer
2:07:59
serves the next event. I can remain in the wisdom
2:08:04
without continuing the wound that is healing.
2:08:09
To me. Healing does not erase the
2:08:14
event, does not erase history. Healing conforms our
2:08:20
relationship with the event, and when that relationship changes,
2:08:25
then the event no longer needs to steer every event that
2:08:30
follows it. Awareness lightens what we
2:08:34
carry. Understanding gives us that same
2:08:39
where to replace it? Healing changes the pattern.
2:08:46
Balance returns to the helm. Not perfection balance, because
2:08:54
balance moves. A person walking does not remain
2:08:59
perfectly still. We continuously shift our weight
2:09:03
to remain upright. Perhaps consciousness works the
2:09:06
same way. Balance is not a destination we
2:09:10
reach and permanently occupy. It is an ongoing relationship
2:09:15
between events, awareness and choices.
2:09:19
The people who we disagree may also be our teachers.
2:09:27
Now here comes another uncomfortable thought.
2:09:31
What if some of our greatest teachers are the people we
2:09:37
cannot stand or we use the word hate?
2:09:41
The person who irritates me may reveal my impatience.
2:09:47
The person who disagrees with me may expose how tightly I hold a
2:09:51
belief. A person who betrays me may
2:09:55
teach boundaries, and that person filled with anger may
2:10:01
show me what unresolved anger becomes.
2:10:05
And maybe that person seeking power may teach me why
2:10:10
accountability matters. Get it?
2:10:13
The divided society may reveal what humanity still needs to
2:10:18
understand about unity. That does not mean someone harms
2:10:23
us for our benefit. It does not excuse abuse.
2:10:28
It does not remove consequences. It means once that event has
2:10:33
happened, then we can we can decide whether pain is only
2:10:38
thing that we take from it. Open up this.
2:10:45
Perhaps lower vibrational events become teachers because they
2:10:50
reveal our imbalances. Jealousy reveals something.
2:10:56
Fear reveals reveals something. Hatred reveals something.
2:11:01
Entitlement reveals something. Anxiety reveals something.
2:11:07
Division reveals something. The question is what?
2:11:11
What is the event showing us? That question transforms an
2:11:15
enemy into information, and information can create the
2:11:19
awareness. What if humanity stopped asking
2:11:23
who won? It's always about winning,
2:11:25
right? Charlie Sheen winning.
2:11:28
Trump winning. Look at how frequently we
2:11:33
organized events around winners and losers.
2:11:47
What happens then? Politics, war, argument,
2:11:54
relationships, social media, religion, even conversations.
2:11:58
Who won? Who got destroyed?
2:12:01
Who was proven wrong? Who had the last word?
2:12:07
Who gained control? Maybe that is another survival
2:12:12
pattern. Winning once meant resources,
2:12:17
territory, safe safety, food, reproduction, status, survival.
2:12:22
Yet consciousness allows us to ask a more advanced question.
2:12:25
What did we learn? What did we learn?
2:12:30
Because you can win an argument and destroy a relationship
2:12:34
really quickly. You can win territory, inherent
2:12:37
generations of resentment. You can win political power and
2:12:41
divide a whole damnation. You can prove someone wrong and
2:12:47
teach them never to speak honestly around you again.
2:12:53
Winning does not automatically create balance.
2:12:58
Sometimes winning creates the next conflict.
2:13:02
What if success were measured differently?
2:13:06
Did the event increase understanding?
2:13:08
Did it protect what needed protection?
2:13:12
Did accountability occur? Did we learn?
2:13:17
Did the pattern change? Did the next event become more
2:13:21
balanced? That is very, very different
2:13:26
definition of victory. Boundaries are not division.
2:13:30
This distinction matters tremendously.
2:13:33
Unity without boundaries is not balance.
2:13:37
There are behaviors that require a firm no.
2:13:42
There are relationships that need assistance.
2:13:45
There are laws that require enforcement.
2:13:48
There are actions that require consequences.
2:13:51
There are moments when protecting life means stopping
2:13:55
another person's actions. Consciousness does not require
2:14:01
passivity. A healthy cell has a membrane.
2:14:06
A nation has borders. A home has walls and doors.
2:14:10
A person has boundaries. A boundary defines
2:14:14
relationships. Division destroys relationships.
2:14:19
A boundary says you may exist and this behavior cannot exist
2:14:24
here. Destructive division says
2:14:28
because I reject your behavior, I reject your humanity.
2:14:32
Those are not the same, and perhaps humanity needs to
2:14:37
relearn that distinction. We can be fierce without hatred,
2:14:42
we can protect without revenge, we can disagree without
2:14:45
dehumanizing, and we can separate when necessary, without
2:14:50
requiring destruction. Balance sometimes requires A
2:14:56
boundary. A collective begins by the
2:14:58
individual. It is easy to talk about healing
2:15:01
humanity. Humanity is enormous. 8 billion
2:15:07
people, thousands of cultures, countless belief systems.
2:15:12
So. So where do we begin?
2:15:15
Maybe we begin with one pattern, our own.
2:15:20
We start within ourselves, then our home, then our
2:15:25
relationships, our community, our conversations, the
2:15:28
information we share, the words we choose, the assumptions we
2:15:33
challenge, the reactions we no longer automatically repeat.
2:15:38
One person does not control the collective yet, yet every person
2:15:44
participates in it. That means I do not need to
2:15:48
carry the burden of healing the entire world.
2:15:52
I need to become consciousness. I need to become conscious of
2:15:56
what I am contributing onto it or in it.
2:16:01
Then perhaps another person does the same, and another and
2:16:04
another. Collective patterns were built
2:16:09
through participation. Perhaps they can also be
2:16:13
transformed through participation.
2:16:16
That's the art of division. Maybe This is why I called it
2:16:21
the art of division, Because division is not simple.
2:16:25
Sometimes separation protects, sometimes difference teaches,
2:16:30
sometimes conflict reveals, and sometimes boundaries heal.
2:16:34
Sometimes an ending restores that balance.
2:16:38
And sometimes the vision becomes so unconscious that humanity
2:16:44
forgets that we even belong to the same living systems.
2:16:50
The art of learning the difference.
2:16:53
That's truly an art. When do I stand, when do I
2:16:57
release? When do I speak, When do I
2:16:59
listen? When do I protect?
2:17:00
When do I forgive? When do I walk away?
2:17:03
When do I collaborate? When am I establishing a healthy
2:17:06
boundary? And when am I feeding an old
2:17:08
pattern wearing a new name? There may be 1 awareness for
2:17:14
every event. That is where consciousness
2:17:17
enters completely. We observe, we question, we
2:17:21
learn, we understand, and we choose.
2:17:25
And then we observe what our choice created.
2:17:28
Another event, another opportunity, another lesson,
2:17:32
another adjustment toward balance.
2:17:34
Perhaps division was never find a lesson.
2:17:36
Well, maybe division itself is a teacher if teacher if teaches us
2:17:43
what separation feels like. It shows us what happens when
2:17:47
belonging becomes exclusive or an exclusion.
2:17:55
It reveals what fear can create. It demonstrates what unchecked
2:18:02
power can become. It exposes the consequences of
2:18:06
dehumanization. And eventually, humanity may
2:18:10
become tired of just repeating all those lessons.
2:18:14
Not tired enough to surrender, aware enough to understand.
2:18:21
Perhaps there comes a point in the development of consciousness
2:18:25
when humanity says we know this pattern, we have seen this
2:18:31
before. Different faces, different
2:18:35
sentry, different justification, same pattern.
2:18:41
And this time we get to choose differently.
2:18:45
Maybe that is how collective healing begins.
2:18:48
Not because someone suddenly agrees.
2:18:51
Not because conflicts disappear. And not because humanity becomes
2:18:56
perfect. Because enough people recognize
2:18:59
the pattern to stop unconsciously recreating it,
2:19:03
stop feeding it. Collaboration.
2:19:07
Collaboration begins awareness. Awareness begins understanding.
2:19:12
Understanding allows healing, and healing restores balance,
2:19:18
and balance changes what we create next.
2:19:23
So I leave you with this pondering question.
2:19:25
If humanity can recognize division as a repeating pattern,
2:19:30
what happens when enough of us consciously decide that we no
2:19:36
longer need to feed it? Perhaps nothing happens
2:19:40
overnight. Perhaps everything begins
2:19:44
because the moment we recognize the pattern while we are still
2:19:48
inside of it, we have already begun becoming something
2:19:52
different than generations past. They are a division part five.
2:19:58
Stop feeding that pattern. We can't collectively heal a
2:20:04
pattern, but we can spend a great deal of time looking at
2:20:07
division. Where it begins, how it grows,
2:20:11
how humanity learns it, how families pass it forward, how
2:20:14
society normalizes it, how fear strengthens it, how power uses
2:20:19
it, how history repeats it, and how awareness gives us an
2:20:23
opportunity to recognize that pattern before we can even
2:20:26
recreate it again. So now I want to talk and ask
2:20:30
the question that matters the most.
2:20:32
How do we stop feeding it? Because recognizing a pattern
2:20:38
and continuing to participate in it changes very, very little.
2:20:44
At some point, awareness asks for action.
2:20:48
Not massive action. Not saving the entire planet by
2:20:52
Tuesday, by tomorrow, not convincing 8 billion people to
2:20:56
believe what you believe or what I'm saying.
2:20:59
It begins much closer to home. What am I feeding?
2:21:06
Every conversation feeds something.
2:21:08
Every reaction feeds something. Every piece of information that
2:21:12
we repeat feeds something. Every time we gather people
2:21:17
around our anger, resentment, fear, or hatred, we are feeding
2:21:21
something. Every time we choose
2:21:24
understanding, accountability, compassion and boundaries, or
2:21:28
collaboration, we feed something else.
2:21:32
So perhaps healing division begins when humanity becomes
2:21:38
conscious of what we are giving our energy to.
2:21:43
Energy follows participation. Think about a fire.
2:21:49
A fire requires something to burn.
2:21:52
Remove the fuel and eventually the flame goes out.
2:21:56
It changes. Patterns can work similarly.
2:22:01
A family feud needs participants.
2:22:04
Gossip needs participants. Hatred needs participants.
2:22:09
Political hostility needs participants.
2:22:12
Religious hostility needs participants.
2:22:15
Social media outrage needs participants.
2:22:19
Even an argument between two people needs continued
2:22:22
participation to remain an argument.
2:22:26
If two people are arguing and things apart, there's no more
2:22:28
argument. It's done.
2:22:31
You go with your beliefs and the other person goes with theirs.
2:22:34
What happens when someone changes the response?
2:22:37
Not necessarily walks away, not necessarily agrees, simply stops
2:22:41
giving the pattern the reaction it expects.
2:22:46
Someone screams, You don't scream back.
2:22:49
Someone insults you? You establish A boundary without
2:22:52
returning the insult. Someone attempts to pull you
2:22:55
into gossip. You don't participate.
2:22:58
Someone tells you to hate the entire population because of the
2:23:01
actions of 1 or some, and you refuse.
2:23:06
Someone demands that disagreement requires becoming
2:23:10
enemies. You disagree with that too.
2:23:15
Now something happens. That pattern expected repetition
2:23:20
and received consciously instead.
2:23:24
That may seem small. It isn't.
2:23:28
It's it's germinating that seed. That is how patterns begin
2:23:34
changing. And we have been trained to
2:23:37
react. Humanity reacts very quickly.
2:23:40
Today. A headline appears, we have a
2:23:43
reaction. Someone posts an opinion, we
2:23:46
have an interaction. A video appears, we have a
2:23:48
reaction. A politician speaks, we have a
2:23:50
reaction. A religious leader says
2:23:52
something, we have a reaction. Someone disagrees.
2:23:54
We have a reaction. Always quickly, quickly.
2:23:58
Information, right? Sometimes we react before we
2:24:01
even know what even happened. We don't even have the full
2:24:03
story, but yet we're reacting. We read the headline without the
2:24:08
article. We see 30 seconds without
2:24:11
knowing what happened before or after it.
2:24:14
We hear one person's version without hearing another.
2:24:20
Then emotion enters the scene. Fear, anger, resentment, and
2:24:24
suddenly thousands and millions of people are participating in
2:24:27
the event they barely understood, and the energy
2:24:32
pattern creates that wave. That is fertile ground for
2:24:37
division, because division does not always require lies.
2:24:42
Sometimes it requires incomplete truth combined with immediate
2:24:47
emotion. Think about that.
2:24:51
Something can be technically true and still leave out enough
2:24:57
information to completely distort our understanding of
2:25:00
that event. So awareness requires something
2:25:04
humanity seems increasingly uncomfortable doing.
2:25:09
Wait, observe, rescind, ask, research, listen, then respond.
2:25:20
Don't let anybody tell you you're taking too long.
2:25:25
Don't let anybody tell you just let it go.
2:25:29
You can't. I understand that humans can't
2:25:32
just on demand let go. We need to wait, observe, ask,
2:25:40
research, listen, and then we can respond.
2:25:43
Not because silence is always an appropriate thing, because
2:25:47
consciousness deserves enough information to make a conscious
2:25:51
choice. So question the information,
2:25:54
including the information that you like as well.
2:25:57
Question it. This one might sing a little,
2:26:00
folks. We tend to question information
2:26:03
we disagree with. We rarely question information
2:26:07
that confirms what we already believe in.
2:26:12
If I already dislike someone, negative information about that
2:26:16
person feels immediately believable because I already are
2:26:21
in that lower vibrational frequency of dislike.
2:26:28
If I already support that person, negative information
2:26:32
about them feels very suspicious, very unbelievable.
2:26:37
Same mind, different pattern. So conscious thinking requires
2:26:44
me to ask, would I believe this as quickly if the names were
2:26:48
reversed? Would I accept this evidence if
2:26:55
it challenged my side? Would I stare and share the
2:26:59
story if it made the person I support look bad?
2:27:04
Would I demand the same accountability from someone I
2:27:06
admired? Wow, are we listening to Nightly
2:27:09
News again? Now we're getting somewhere,
2:27:12
folks. Here we go.
2:27:13
Because consciousness cannot only examine the other side.
2:27:17
Consciousness has to examine both sides.
2:27:19
In itself, that does not weaken conviction.
2:27:24
It strengthens the integrity. If someone is true, if something
2:27:28
is true, examining it does not make it less true.
2:27:34
And if examining it changes my understanding, then perhaps my
2:27:37
understanding needed to have been changed.
2:27:42
That is, awareness at its ample opportune moment.
2:27:48
Listening is not agreeing. Somewhere along the line,
2:27:53
humanity began treating listening as surrender.
2:27:57
If I listen to you, apparently I agree with you.
2:28:01
No, Listening means I want to understand what you're saying.
2:28:06
Understanding does not automatically produce agreement.
2:28:10
Sometimes understanding strengthens disagreements.
2:28:14
Yet not I know what I am actually disagreeing with right?
2:28:20
It just, it just doesn't feel right.
2:28:22
It's it's not right. Imagine how many arguments occur
2:28:25
between people who are arguing against something the other
2:28:28
person never even actually said. Hand down information.
2:28:33
We assume, we interpret, we fill in the blanks, and we assign
2:28:36
intention. That's the human brain.
2:28:38
Then we respond to our own interpretation, and the other
2:28:41
person responds to ours. Now two people are fighting with
2:28:45
versions of each other that may not even exist to begin with.
2:28:51
What happens if I ask what do you mean by that?
2:28:55
5 words can change the entire event.
2:28:58
Maybe the answer confirms exactly what you thought.
2:29:03
Fine, now you know. Maybe it doesn't and an
2:29:08
unnecessary division just lost its fuel.
2:29:13
Why? Because curiosity may be one of
2:29:14
the great healers of division. I'm a wire.
2:29:18
I ask why. I ask a ton of questions.
2:29:20
My parents, God love them. Why do we believe that?
2:29:25
Why did that happen? Why does this pattern keep
2:29:28
returning? Why does the person react this
2:29:30
way? Why does the why does this
2:29:32
bother me and why does humanity keep doing this?
2:29:35
There are tremendous the powers of why when it comes from
2:29:39
curiosity rather than accusations, twisting it,
2:29:44
flipping it. Accusations are curiosity.
2:29:47
Which one is it? There's a difference between why
2:29:51
would you do something like that and why do you believe that?
2:29:55
Do you hear it? Why did you do something like
2:29:58
that? Why do you believe that?
2:30:02
One already contains judgement that piques the ego.
2:30:08
The other creates an opportunity for information, and information
2:30:12
creates the awareness. Sometimes the answers will be
2:30:16
uncomfortable. Truly.
2:30:18
Sometimes we will strongly disagree.
2:30:22
Sometimes what we hear will require boundaries.
2:30:27
Yet curiosity gives us something judgement cannot, new
2:30:31
information. If I'm judging, I'm not
2:30:33
accepting the information. If I'm purely curious, now I
2:30:38
have to ponder on the information.
2:30:40
And that new information may change the whole pattern.
2:30:46
We do not need to argue to collaborate.
2:30:50
Collaboration is another place where I believe humanity has
2:30:54
confused itself. Collaboration does not mean
2:30:58
everyone arise with the same answer.
2:31:01
If everyone already agrees, there is very little to
2:31:04
collaborate about. Collaboration means you bring
2:31:08
what you see, I bring what I see.
2:31:12
Someone else brings what neither of us could even consider.
2:31:17
So we place the pieces on the table, we examine all of them,
2:31:22
and we question them. We learn, and perhaps something
2:31:26
emerges that none of us could have created alone.
2:31:30
That is how awareness expands. It happens in science, medicine,
2:31:34
engineering, art, families, community, spirituality.
2:31:37
Human progress itself is collaboration.
2:31:40
One generation discovers something, another challenges
2:31:43
it, another improves it, another discovers a part of what is
2:31:47
wrong, and another takes what remained and builds something
2:31:51
new. It isn't failure.
2:31:53
It's learning. My philosophies are beyond man's
2:31:59
learning. I understand.
2:32:02
I question, I go down. Why would consciousness be any
2:32:07
different? Maybe none of us carries the
2:32:09
entire puzzle. Maybe we carry just pieces of
2:32:12
the puzzle that we need everybody to bring those pieces
2:32:15
to create the puzzle. And perhaps the vision becomes
2:32:18
dangerous when someone becomes so convinced their piece is the
2:32:23
entire picture that everyone holding another piece becomes an
2:32:27
enemy. Faith does not require the end
2:32:32
of a question. That is really important to me
2:32:34
because I have faith and I ponder constantly within my
2:32:37
faith. Those two things do not conflict
2:32:41
with me. My questions do not remove God
2:32:44
from my existence. They deepen my relationship with
2:32:48
creation. Why would this happen?
2:32:51
Why does this pattern mean? What are we supposed to be
2:32:55
learning? What am I missing?
2:32:58
What does nature show me? What does history show me?
2:33:01
What does another person see? What does science know and what
2:33:05
does spirituality ponder? What remains unknown?
2:33:10
I do not need every answer to maintain my faith.
2:33:14
Sometimes the question itself creates awareness, and awareness
2:33:18
may be a part of all the whole lesson.
2:33:21
Perhaps humanity's relationship with divine was never intended
2:33:24
to eliminate curiosity. Perhaps curiosity is one of the
2:33:29
tools consciousness uses to understand creation.
2:33:33
But healing does not require forgetting.
2:33:37
We often hear that humanity needs to move on, right?
2:33:40
Just move on. Let it go.
2:33:42
Move on from history. Move on from pain.
2:33:44
Move on from betrayal, move on from conflict.
2:33:47
I don't believe healing requires forgetting.
2:33:50
If we forget every painful lesson, what stops us from
2:33:54
recreating it? History matters.
2:33:58
Memory matters. Experiences matter.
2:34:02
The challenge is learning how to remember without continuing to
2:34:07
live inside of this original event.
2:34:10
There's a difference between I remember what happened and I
2:34:14
recreate what happened every time some somebody or something
2:34:17
reminds me of it. The event can become wisdom
2:34:21
rather than permanent command controlling our next response.
2:34:26
That is why healing does not erase past events.
2:34:31
Healing transforms them into balanced consciousness, allowing
2:34:36
us to consciously find our part to heal and choose our next
2:34:41
event. That experience we retain the
2:34:45
lesson we release. We release that need to recreate
2:34:49
the wound. We don't want the wound.
2:34:52
Forgiveness does not remove consequence.
2:34:55
This is another piece or another place.
2:34:57
That division gets tangled. Forgiveness does not necessarily
2:35:01
mean reconciliation. It does not mean returning
2:35:06
someone to your life. It does not mean removing
2:35:11
accountability, and it does not mean pretending harm never
2:35:15
happens. And it certainly does not mean
2:35:18
allowing the behavior to continue.
2:35:21
Forgiveness can simply mean I no longer allow this event to
2:35:26
determine who I become next. The consequence may remain, the
2:35:32
boundary may remain, the relationship may end and the law
2:35:37
still act. And internally, I chose not to
2:35:44
build my identity around hatred of what happened.
2:35:49
Because if the person who harmed me leaves my life while their
2:35:53
actions continue controlling my mind's emotions, reactions,
2:35:57
relationships for decades afterwards, did they really
2:36:00
leave? They would be living rent free
2:36:04
inside of my head. And as yours, perhaps
2:36:08
forgiveness is one way we stop feeding their event with our
2:36:12
future energy. So when does a pattern end?
2:36:16
Maybe patterns do not end when the event disappears.
2:36:20
Maybe the end when the event no longer produced the same
2:36:23
unconscious response. Imagine someone who once
2:36:27
triggered enormous anger within you.
2:36:30
Imagine that years later you hear their name.
2:36:34
Nothing. Not because you forgot.
2:36:38
Because you healed. The memory remains.
2:36:42
The charge changed. Now expand that idea.
2:36:45
What happened or what? What?
2:36:49
What would collection or collective healing look like
2:36:53
right there? Humanity remembers the war, yet
2:36:56
the descendants no longer hate one another, right?
2:37:01
Kind of Revolutionary War, North and South, But we love each
2:37:04
other. We still visit with one another
2:37:07
states Humanity remembers discrimination, yet we use the
2:37:13
memory to to prevent repetition rather than create another
2:37:18
category of hatred. Humanity remembers terrorism,
2:37:24
yet we refuse to turn the actions of extremists into
2:37:29
hatred towards millions of innocent people.
2:37:33
Humanity remembers injustice, yet justice does not become
2:37:38
revenge. The memory remains.
2:37:42
The pattern changes. Maybe that is what collective
2:37:46
healing looks like. Lower vibration loses its
2:37:50
fierceness when the lessons is learned.
2:37:52
Earlier I said I believe lower vibration events are teachers,
2:37:58
and once we learn, their fierceness can begin
2:38:02
disappearing. Now we can see how the event no
2:38:07
longer requires the same action because awareness has changed
2:38:11
the persons experiencing it. The teacher may appear.
2:38:15
The lesson is recognized. Oh, I know that pattern.
2:38:20
And instead of repeating the old response, we choose differently.
2:38:25
That doesn't mean difficulty appears or disappears from life
2:38:32
just because we choose differently.
2:38:34
There will always be another lesson, another event, another
2:38:37
experience, another opportunity to understand.
2:38:42
Maybe it is the purpose of the cycle, not perfection, evolution
2:38:47
through awareness. We learn, we balance, we enter
2:38:51
the next phase, we end, we encourage or encounter something
2:38:55
new, and we learn again. That is not failure, that is
2:39:01
existence. That is survival, what we are
2:39:05
teaching the next generations. Now this becomes incredibly
2:39:10
important because patterns are not only inherited through DNA.
2:39:14
Human patterns are transmitted through stories, behaviors,
2:39:18
beliefs, traditions, fears, expectations and examples.
2:39:22
Children watch us fiercely. That is their survival.
2:39:28
They hear how we talk to people. They hear us how we talk about
2:39:31
people. They hear how we describe those
2:39:34
who vote differently. They hear how we talk about
2:39:37
another religion, another race, another generation, another
2:39:40
country, another family member. They learn what deserves
2:39:45
compassion by watching who receives ours.
2:39:51
They learn conflict by watching how we disagree.
2:39:55
They learn forgiveness by watching what we do with hurt.
2:40:00
They learn division when we teach them who they are supposed
2:40:04
to dislike before they've ever even met him, or who we're
2:40:07
allowed to play with, or who we're not allowed to play with
2:40:09
as children. Division.
2:40:14
And then someday we ask, where did they learn that?
2:40:18
Maybe from the pattern, and maybe we were part of that
2:40:23
pattern. That is not a blame, it is an
2:40:28
awareness. There's a difference because
2:40:32
once I recognize what I am teaching, I can change what I
2:40:36
teach next. We are ancestors too.
2:40:40
We spend so much time studying our ancestors that we forget
2:40:45
something. Someday we are the ancestors.
2:40:50
Future generations may study us. What will they be saying?
2:40:54
What were they thinking? How did they allow that?
2:40:58
Why were they so divided? Why couldn't they talk to each
2:41:02
other? Why did they believe everything
2:41:05
they they read? Why did they hate strangers?
2:41:08
Why did politics destroy families?
2:41:11
Why did religion become a reason to harm?
2:41:13
Why did disagreement become war? And maybe they will also ask,
2:41:19
when did they finally see it? When did they recognize the
2:41:22
pattern and when did they change?
2:41:26
Maybe that moment is not somewhere in our near future.
2:41:30
Maybe it begins every time one person recognizes.
2:41:33
I don't need to feed this anymore.
2:41:37
It's called balance at the helm. Picture your consciousness as a
2:41:40
vessel. Events are the water.
2:41:43
Some days the waters calm. Some days there's waves,
2:41:47
sometimes there's a storm. We do not control the entire
2:41:51
ocean. We do control something
2:41:54
incredibly important. Who is at that helm?
2:41:58
Fear, anger, ego, resentment, jealousy, trauma, group
2:42:02
identity, someone else's opinion, or balance.
2:42:08
Balance does not eliminate the storm.
2:42:10
Balance helps us navigate through it.
2:42:13
Balance does not mean we are never becoming angry.
2:42:18
It means anger does not captain my vessel.
2:42:23
Balance does not mean we never experienced fear.
2:42:26
It means fear does not determine the destination.
2:42:30
Balance does not mean we never disagree, It means disagreement
2:42:35
does not require destruction. Balance does not mean life
2:42:46
becomes easy, it means consciousness remains present
2:42:51
while life is happening. Put balance at the helm.
2:42:56
Now our philosophy begins coming full circle.
2:42:59
An event occurs, we experience it, we become aware, we seek
2:43:04
understanding, we recognize the pattern, and then we heal our
2:43:07
participation. Balance returns to the helm, and
2:43:11
then we choose the next event differently.
2:43:16
Stop feeding what you say you want to heal.
2:43:20
So as we begin, as we began bringing the art of division
2:43:24
toward this conclusion, I want to leave you with something
2:43:27
simple. Look at what you say you want
2:43:30
healed in humanity. Hatred.
2:43:32
Then examine where you feed your hatred.
2:43:35
Division. Examine your divide.
2:43:38
Judgement. Examine where you judge fear.
2:43:42
Examine what fear controls anger.
2:43:45
Examine what anger is still steering you.
2:43:49
This is not about becoming perfect.
2:43:51
It's about becoming conscious. We cannot ask the collective to
2:43:55
stop feeding a pattern while insisting our participation
2:43:59
doesn't count. It counts.
2:44:03
Every one of us counts. And that is actually wonderful
2:44:08
news, because if our participation helps sustain a
2:44:12
pattern, then our change participation can help transform
2:44:17
it. Look how beautiful that is.
2:44:20
One conversation, one boundary, one question, one act of
2:44:23
compassion, 1 refusal of hate, 1 moment of listening, and one
2:44:29
decision not to repeat what was done to US.
2:44:35
One conversation, 1 boundary, one moment when we recognize.
2:44:42
I know this pattern and I can choose differently.
2:44:46
Maybe collective healing does not arrive as one enormous
2:44:50
moment when the entire world suddenly awakens.
2:44:54
Maybe it begins quietly inside millions of individual moments
2:44:58
of awareness consciousness, until one day humanity looks
2:45:05
back and realizes we don't do that anymore.
2:45:12
The pattern lost its fierceness. The lesson became wisdom.
2:45:18
Balance returned to the helm, and humanity moved into its next
2:45:23
phase, Balance or fade. Maybe creation has been teaching
2:45:30
us that lesson all along. And maybe now we are finally
2:45:35
learning how to listen. The art of division.
2:45:39
I'm closing balance at the helm. As we close the art of division,
2:45:43
I want to return to where it began.
2:45:46
Division. Such a simple word, yet look
2:45:49
where it took us into childhood, families, friendship,
2:45:51
relationships, communities, religion, politics,
2:45:54
civilizations, nature, survival, creation, and finally into
2:45:58
ourselves. Maybe division was never simply
2:46:03
about choosing sides. Maybe division is one of
2:46:07
humanity's greatest teachers. It shows us where fear lives,
2:46:10
where anger remains, where jealousy grows, where resentment
2:46:14
waits, where power becomes domination, where protection
2:46:17
becomes exclusion, where difference becomes an enemy, and
2:46:21
where an old pattern is still asking to be understood.
2:46:26
Throughout the journey, we kept finding the same thing.
2:46:29
The pattern and an event happens.
2:46:34
Humanity responds and the response repeats and the
2:46:37
repetition becomes familiar and the familiar becomes normal.
2:46:40
And eventually we may forget why the pattern began until
2:46:43
awareness arrives. And awareness asks why?
2:46:50
Why do I believe this? Why do I react to this?
2:46:52
Why do we keep repeating this? Why does humanity continue
2:46:56
recreating events we already know creates suffrage?
2:47:00
Suffrage, and perhaps most important, what is my part?
2:47:06
Where? Where can I heal?
2:47:08
Where can I apologize? Because collective healing can
2:47:13
not only be about what they need to change, it begins with what I
2:47:18
am willing to balance and change.
2:47:21
My reaction, my judgement, my fear, my anger, my resistance,
2:47:25
my participation in the pattern. Understanding allows us to
2:47:28
recognize that will allows us to choose differently.
2:47:34
Imagination allows us to envision what does not yet
2:47:39
exist. Zeal gives us the energy to
2:47:42
create it, and faith reminds us that transformation is possible.
2:47:48
Then perhaps happiness begins emerging as balance returns to
2:47:53
the helm, and that begins us to coexistence.
2:47:58
Coexistence does not require an agreement.
2:48:02
Unity does not require sameness, and peace does not require
2:48:06
passivity. Love does not eliminate
2:48:09
boundaries. Compassion does not eliminate
2:48:13
accountability. Maybe creation never asked
2:48:18
humanity to become identical. Maybe creation asked us to learn
2:48:22
how to remain different and connected.
2:48:27
Balance or fate? Mother Earth has shown us cycles
2:48:31
in creation, destruction, adaptation, transformation, and
2:48:35
renewal throughout the life. Life changes, life responds,
2:48:37
life adapts, life continues, and humanity has something
2:48:41
extraordinary within that process consciousness.
2:48:46
We can recognize the pattern while we still are living inside
2:48:51
of it. We can study yesterday,
2:48:54
understand today, and choose tomorrow differently.
2:48:58
Maybe that is our greatest survival mechanism.
2:49:02
Conscious awareness, the ability to say I know this pattern, I
2:49:07
know where it leads, and I choose something different.
2:49:11
That choice may seem tiny, a Pebble falling into enormous
2:49:16
lake. Yet the Pebble creates a wave,
2:49:19
and that wave travels. One person chooses compassion,
2:49:24
another experiences it. One family stops carrying an old
2:49:28
hatred while another generation never inherited it.
2:49:33
One person listens instead of acting.
2:49:35
One disagreement ends without becoming a division.
2:49:38
One person establishes A boundary without hatred.
2:49:41
One person chooses just not to spread fear.
2:49:45
One person heals a pattern instead of handing it forward.
2:49:49
Pebble wave. Pebble.
2:49:50
Wave. Perhaps none of us needs to move
2:49:54
the entire ocean. We simply need to become
2:49:57
conscious of the Pebble in our own hand and decide what kind of
2:50:02
wave do I want to create? We are the network, my folks.
2:50:07
The world has shown us how incredibly connected humanity
2:50:11
is. Something beginning with one
2:50:14
person can move through communities, nations,
2:50:17
continents, and eventually around the world.
2:50:19
So imagine positive consciousness moving throughout
2:50:23
the same human network. Awareness, understanding,
2:50:27
compassion, faith, love, unity, peace, balance.
2:50:31
Not an infection. A conscious exchange.
2:50:36
Because we are the network, Every interaction connects us,
2:50:40
every word carries something, every action demonstrates
2:50:44
something, and every response creates another event.
2:50:47
So ask yourself, what am I breathing into humanity?
2:50:52
Fear, anger, Hatred. Jealousy.
2:50:54
Resentment. Division.
2:50:56
Or am I becoming that breath of air that cleanses rather than
2:51:00
infects? Positive consciousness of
2:51:02
humanity begins with ourselves, then we carry it outward.
2:51:15
One person, one family, one community, one separation, one
2:51:18
wave at a time. We are not a network.
2:51:21
We are. We are a network.
2:51:23
We are a wave, and we are a breath.
2:51:26
Perhaps when enough of humanity recognizes that we are a
2:51:30
pattern, then we no longer require the same fierce lessons
2:51:33
to teach it. The pattern softens, the lesson
2:51:38
becomes wisdom. Balance returns, and that next
2:51:42
phase begins. So I leave you with one more
2:51:45
final pondering question. And I keep leaving you.
2:51:49
If Division has been one of humanity's greatest teachers,
2:51:53
what happens when humanity collectively understands the
2:51:56
lesson? Perhaps we open understanding,
2:52:00
strength, and will expand imagination, ignite zeal,
2:52:03
support faith, and choose coexistence.
2:52:07
Because every event has a purpose, and every purpose
2:52:10
invites awareness. Awareness invites understanding.
2:52:14
Understanding what restores balance and balance.
2:52:17
Consciousness transforms the next event, and a transformed
2:52:21
event becomes a life of conscious, positive thinking and
2:52:24
service to others. Division showed us the pattern.
2:52:29
Awareness allowed us to see it. Understanding taught us why it
2:52:33
mattered. Will gave us the chance to
2:52:36
change it. And now balance takes the helm.
2:52:39
Perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel, I was never waiting
2:52:43
for humanity somewhere in this distance.
2:52:45
Perhaps the light appears when humanity becomes conscious
2:52:48
enough to turn it on. And as we close the art of
2:52:52
division, we journey through the consciousness of humanity is not
2:52:55
quite complete because we began with the age of entitlement and
2:52:59
then we move through the 8 the age of anxiety.
2:53:02
And today we explored the art of division.
2:53:04
And now everything we have questioned, uncovered,
2:53:09
challenged, learned, and began into this awareness leads us
2:53:12
into the 4th and final part of this whole series, the Age of
2:53:16
Awakening. Perhaps awakening begins when we
2:53:19
recognize the pattern. Perhaps it grows when we
2:53:22
understand it. And perhaps it becomes our
2:53:24
reality when humanity develops the will to choose differently.
2:53:29
So take what we have uncovered today with you.
2:53:32
Be the Pebble, create your wave, be conscious of what you breathe
2:53:37
into humanity and keep balance at the helm.
2:53:42
Join me next week, Monday, August the 10th, and we're going

2:54:07
Jo. This is the world of conscious
2:54:09
positive thinking. We are the network, we are the
2:54:13
wave, we are the breath to you. August 10th.
