- 11:38There's

- 11:39the
- 11:39ICBM
- 11:40Caucus.

- 11:51where
- 11:51they
- 11:52have
- 11:52ICBM
- 11:53emplacements.
- 11:54And
- 11:54they
- 11:55are
- 11:55dedicated
- 11:56to
- 11:56maintaining
- 11:57the
- 11:58ICBM
- 11:59force
- 11:59and
- 12:00make
- 12:00sure
- 12:00that
- 12:00it
- 12:00grows
- 12:01and
- 12:01never
- 12:01is
- 12:02taken
- 12:02away.
- 12:03Because
- 12:03that's
- 12:03money.
- 12:04It's
- 12:04like
- 12:04the
- 12:04communities
- 12:05are
- 12:05like
- 12:05prisons
- 12:06built
- 12:06in

- 12:11So
- 12:11that
- 12:11is
- 12:12a
- 12:12very
- 12:12powerful
- 12:13force.
- 12:14And
- 12:14the
- 12:15ICBMs,
- 12:16Bill
- 12:16Perry
- 12:17says
- 12:17we
- 12:17don't
- 12:17need
- 12:17it.
- 12:18And
- 12:18they're
- 12:18dangerous
- 12:19because
- 12:19they're
- 12:20fixed
- 12:20in
- 12:20a
- 12:21location.
- 12:21The
- 12:22Russians
- 12:22and
- 12:22the
- 12:23Chinese
- 12:23know
- 12:23where

- 12:24and
- 12:24they
- 12:24can
- 12:24take

- 12:25out
- 12:25if
- 12:25they

- 12:28can
- 12:28do
- 12:28to
- 12:29not
- 12:29have
- 12:29them
- 12:30taken
- 12:30out
- 12:30is
- 12:31launch
- 12:31on
- 12:32the
- 12:32warning.
- 12:32But
- 12:33the
- 12:33warning
- 12:33may
- 12:33be
- 12:34false
- 12:34because
- 12:35we've
- 12:35had
- 12:35mistaken
- 12:35warnings
- 12:36in

- 14:57complicated.
- 14:58But
- 14:58these
- 14:59are
- 14:59worth
- 15:00thinking
- 15:00about.
- 15:01I
- 15:01do
- 15:01submit
- 15:01though
- 15:02that
- 15:02there
- 15:02are
- 15:03relatively
- 15:03limited
- 15:04number
- 15:04of

- 15:04that
- 15:04can
- 15:05make
- 15:05a

- 15:13sense
- 15:14this,
- 15:14can
- 15:15really

- 25:01go
- 25:01out
- 25:01into
- 25:01the
- 25:01world.
- 25:02Now
- 25:03we're
- 25:03not
- 25:03in
- 25:03the
- 25:03world
- 25:03of
- 25:03theology
- 25:04anymore,
- 25:04we're
- 25:04in
- 25:05the
- 25:05world
- 25:05of
- 25:05politics.
- 25:06So
- 25:06the
- 25:06question
- 25:07is,
- 25:07what's
- 25:07important?
- 25:08And
- 25:09when
- 25:09I
- 25:09read,
- 25:10I
- 25:10think
- 25:10it
- 25:10was
- 25:10in
- 25:10the
- 25:1070s,
- 25:11I
- 25:11remember
- 25:12reading
- 25:12an
- 25:12article
- 25:12about
- 25:13the
- 25:14fragility
- 25:14of
- 25:15the
- 25:15atmosphere
- 25:16above
- 25:16and
- 25:17the
- 25:17thin
- 25:17soil
- 25:18below.
- 25:19I
- 25:19never
- 25:19thought
- 25:20of
- 25:20that,
- 25:20the
- 25:21vulnerability
- 25:22and
- 25:22that
- 25:23that
- 25:23idea
- 25:24resonated
- 25:25because
- 25:26it
- 25:26was
- 25:26about
- 25:26something
- 25:27that
- 25:28was
- 25:28absolute.
- 25:29This
- 25:29is,
- 25:29this
- 25:29is
- 25:30not
- 25:30opinion.
- 25:30This
- 25:31is
- 25:31not
- 25:31a
- 25:31Democrat,
- 25:32Republican,
- 25:33progressive,
- 25:34unprogressive,
- 25:35ice,
- 25:35chocolate
- 25:36or
- 25:36vanilla.
- 25:37This
- 25:37is.
- 25:38We
- 25:38can
- 25:38rely
- 25:39on
- 25:39the
- 25:39fact
- 25:40that
- 25:40the
- 25:40environment
- 25:41is
- 25:42there.
- 25:42It
- 25:42has
- 25:42rules,
- 25:43it
- 25:43has.
- 25:43We
- 25:43can
- 25:44cause
- 25:44more
- 25:44damage
- 25:45or
- 25:45we
- 25:45can
- 25:45cause
- 25:46less
- 25:46damage.
- 25:46So
- 25:47that
- 25:47then
- 25:47becomes
- 25:48almost
- 25:48theological.
- 25:49It's
- 25:49an
- 25:49absolute,
- 25:50it's
- 25:50a
- 25:51very
- 25:51firm
- 25:52foundation
- 25:53and
- 25:53that's
- 25:53why
- 25:53I'm
- 25:54drawn
- 25:54to
- 25:54the
- 25:55environment.
- 25:55There's
- 25:55a
- 25:55lot
- 25:56of
- 25:56other
- 25:56things,
- 25:56like
- 25:57in
- 25:57education,
- 25:58like
- 25:58in
- 25:58Crime
- 25:59and
- 25:59Punishment,
- 25:59there's
- 26:00a
- 26:00lot
- 26:00of
- 26:00opinions
- 26:01there.
- 26:01But
- 26:02you
- 26:02know
- 26:02that
- 26:03parts
- 26:03per
- 26:04million
- 26:04CO2
- 26:05building
- 26:06up
- 26:06is
- 26:07not
- 26:07good.
- 26:08And
- 26:08it.
- 26:091.5%
- 26:10growth
- 26:11from
- 26:11the
- 26:11industrial
- 26:12period
- 26:12of
- 26:12150
- 26:13years
- 26:13ago,
- 26:14that's
- 26:14not
- 26:14good.
- 26:15And
- 26:152%
- 26:16growth
- 26:17or
- 26:172
- 26:17degrees
- 26:18rather,
- 26:18that's
- 26:19bad.
- 26:19And
- 26:19that's
- 26:19where
- 26:20we're
- 26:20headed.
- 26:20So
- 26:21that
- 26:21then
- 26:21becomes
- 26:22something
- 26:23you,
- 26:23you
- 26:23don't
- 26:23have
- 26:24to
- 26:24doubt.
- 26:24There's
- 26:25no
- 26:25agnosticism
- 26:26here.
- 26:27We
- 26:27may
- 26:27not
- 26:27know
- 26:27all
- 26:28the

- 26:30emissions,
- 26:31what
- 26:31they're
- 26:31going
- 26:31to
- 26:31do,
- 26:32but
- 26:32we
- 26:32know
- 26:32it's
- 26:32bad.
- 26:33We
- 26:33know
- 26:34stopping
- 26:34it
- 26:34is
- 26:35an
- 26:35absolute
- 26:35good
- 26:36and
- 26:36that's
- 26:36why.
- 26:37But
- 26:37that
- 26:37flows
- 26:38from
- 26:39inquiry,
- 26:39what's
- 26:40important.
- 26:41And
- 26:41I
- 26:41do
- 26:41think
- 26:42respecting
- 26:42our
- 26:43environment
- 26:43is
- 26:44important.
- 26:44Of
- 26:44course,
- 26:45same
- 26:45thing
- 26:45as
- 26:45human
- 26:45beings.

- 26:51be.
- 26:51To
- 26:51earn
- 26:51their
- 26:52release
- 26:53from
- 26:53a.
- 26:53And
- 26:53they've
- 26:54been
- 26:54locked
- 26:54in
- 26:54there
- 26:55with
- 26:55no
- 26:55parole,
- 26:56no
- 26:56hope.
- 26:56And

- 26:596,000
- 27:00people

- 27:02are
- 27:02all
- 27:02things
- 27:03I
- 27:03did.
- 27:04But

- 30:46total
- 30:47skeptic,
- 30:48leading
- 30:48to
- 30:48cynicism,

- 31:00the
- 31:01pursuit
- 31:01of

- 31:02Yes,
- 31:02but
- 31:02I
- 31:03mean,
- 31:03it
- 31:03sounds
- 31:03a
- 31:03little
- 31:03grandiose,
- 31:04but
- 31:05our
- 31:05curiosity
- 31:06might
- 31:06be
- 31:06a
- 31:06little
- 31:06more
- 31:06humble
- 31:07way
- 31:07to
- 31:07put
- 31:07it.
- 31:07I'm
- 31:08very
- 31:08curious.
- 31:09How
- 31:09do
- 31:09things
- 31:09work?
- 31:10Where
- 31:10the
- 31:10hell
- 31:11are
- 31:11we
- 31:11going
- 31:12now?
- 31:12Zen,
- 31:13as
- 31:13I
- 31:13understand
- 31:14Zen
- 31:14practice,
- 31:15it's
- 31:15not
- 31:15studying,
- 31:16it's
- 31:16sit
- 31:17on
- 31:17your
- 31:17cushion,
- 31:18follow
- 31:18your
- 31:18breathing,
- 31:19follow,
- 31:20move,
- 31:21breathe
- 31:21in,
- 31:22breathe
- 31:22out.
- 31:22That's
- 31:23all.
- 31:23Don't
- 31:23have
- 31:24it.
- 31:24Don't.
- 31:25That's
- 31:25it.
- 31:26Just
- 31:26shut
- 31:27up
- 31:27and
- 31:27focus.
- 31:28And
- 31:29whatever
- 31:29it
- 31:29is,
- 31:29it
- 31:30is.
- 31:30So
- 31:30I
- 31:31don't
- 31:31know
- 31:31what
- 31:31you
- 31:32can
- 31:32derive
- 31:32from
- 31:32Zen,
- 31:33although
- 31:33the
- 31:33art,
- 31:34the
- 31:34tea
- 31:35ceremony,
- 31:35the.
- 31:36So
- 31:36many
- 31:36things
- 31:37that
- 31:37flower
- 31:38arranging,
- 31:38all
- 31:38the
- 31:39different
- 31:39ways
- 31:40that
- 31:40have
- 31:41been
- 31:41the
- 31:41product
- 31:41of
- 31:42Zen
- 31:42is
- 31:42quite
- 31:43remarkable.
- 31:43So
- 31:44just
- 31:44being
- 31:45present
- 31:46in
- 31:46that
- 31:47form
- 31:47leads
- 31:48to
- 31:48many
- 31:48things.
- 31:49But
- 31:49of
- 31:49course,
- 31:50if
- 31:50that's
- 31:50your
- 31:50idea,
- 31:51that's
- 31:51called
- 31:51a
- 31:51gaining
- 31:52idea
- 31:52and
- 31:53that's
- 31:53bad.
- 31:54So
- 31:54that's
- 31:54the
- 31:54issue.
- 31:55Emptiness
- 31:56doesn't,
- 31:57I
- 31:57don't
- 31:57know
- 31:57how
- 31:57you
- 31:57use
- 31:58emptiness.
- 31:58It
- 31:58doesn't
- 31:59add
- 31:59to
- 31:59the
- 31:59gross
- 32:00domestic
- 32:00product,
- 32:01it
- 32:01doesn't
- 32:01increase
- 32:01your
- 32:02wealth.
- 32:04And
- 32:04accepting
- 32:05that
- 32:05in
- 32:06our
- 32:06world,
- 32:06it's
- 32:07very
- 32:07hard
- 32:07because
- 32:07we're
- 32:08very
- 32:08oriented
- 32:09towards
- 32:09success,
- 32:10toward
- 32:11making
- 32:11something
- 32:11happen.
- 32:12Well,
- 32:13awareness,
- 32:15Kenjo
- 32:16Satori,
- 32:17that's
- 32:17not
- 32:17a
- 32:18commodity
- 32:18that
- 32:18you
- 32:19could
- 32:19exploit.
- 32:21No,
- 32:21but
- 32:21hopefully
- 32:22it
- 32:22does
- 32:23provide
- 32:23an
- 32:24opening
- 32:24of
- 32:24space
- 32:25and
- 32:25awareness
- 32:25in
- 32:26which
- 32:26we
- 32:26can
- 32:26live
- 32:26more
- 32:27fully,
- 32:27be

- 32:31very
- 32:32issues
- 32:32you've

- 32:34know
- 32:35and
- 32:35see
- 32:36than
- 32:36not
- 32:37know
- 32:37and
- 32:37not
- 32:38see.
- 32:39Understanding,
- 32:40that's
- 32:41the
- 32:41most
- 32:41of
- 32:41the
- 32:41time
- 32:42we're,
- 32:42we're

- 32:45ideas
- 32:45and
- 32:46prejudices
- 32:47and
- 32:47of
- 32:47course
- 32:48we
- 32:48have,
- 32:48we

- 32:49lot
- 32:49of
- 32:49half
- 32:50baked
