  SPEAKER_00: No one truly owns anything.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself feel that.
• 0:08
  Not as a new age platitude or bit of magical thinking,
• 0:18
  but as a living reality.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: Really and truly let yourself feel that.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns the sky.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns the sun.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns the earth.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns the cosmos.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: It becomes easier to see when you zoom out, right?
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns the galaxy.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: You can't own the galaxy.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's all borrowed.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's all borrowed from infinity.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't belong to anyone.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's an expression of infinity, and no one truly owns any of it.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: We don't own the money in our bank account.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: We don't own the buildings that we built from the things of this earth.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: We don't own the animals.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: We don't own the food and water.
• 1:12
  Yes,
• 1:13
  our society has created an agreement,
• 1:19
  a construct,
• 1:22
  where we pretend that we own things.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: And because we all agree to that construct,
• 1:28
  We live within that collective dream or matrix or hypnosis,
• 1:35
  however you want to look at it.
• 1:36
  And yet,
• 1:38
  if you snap out of that,
• 1:41
  you can really see nothing is truly yours.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: You don't own your body.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: You don't own your children.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: You don't own your life.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Not mine, thine.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Not mine, thine.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Not mine, thou.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing is mine.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's all his.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's all hers.
• 2:03
  And even that's not quite right to say that it's all God's
• 2:06
  because God doesn't own it either.
• 2:08
  God's not grasping any of it or trying to say,
• 2:11
  yeah,
• 2:12
  let me wall this off.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is mine here.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: I need to protect these resources that I own.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: I own this land.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: that's a relatively new idea in the last few hundred years,
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: originating from the West,
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: you know.
• 2:32
  Indigenous people did not have this notion of owning the
• 2:36
  mountain or owning the river.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: They knew it was all borrowed.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: They knew it was a gift.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: They knew they were entrusted to be stewards
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: And when you really let yourself feel that,
• 2:51
  it can be a great liberation because our society is so focused
• 2:55
  on who owns what and
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: then games of comparison and competition.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like,
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: oh,
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't own as much as that person,
• 3:04
  so I need to jump through all these hoops to try to own the
• 3:09
  same thing so I can
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: keep up with the Joneses and
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to do any of that.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to live that way if that's not native to your soul.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, they're not truly billionaires.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: They don't own that money.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: No one owns anything.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Their resources belong to the whole.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Their resources are the whole.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yes,
• 3:37
  our society is presently agreeing to a construct in which they
• 3:40
  seem to own those
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: resources,
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: but they really don't.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: On a deeper level, no one owns anything.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Let this be a great liberation.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Let this be a great relief.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself feel the lightness of that.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: None of this is owned.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's all free.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's all
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: unownable.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: No one can truly own it or claim it.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: You can't take it with you.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's all going to be given back.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's just been entrusted to us to steward temporarily.
• 4:27
  And I do deeply sense that you can trust that whatever has been
• 4:31
  allocated to you presently
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: is what you are entrusted to steward.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: And in my experience,
• 4:42
  the more you treat whatever has presently been entrusted to you
• 4:46
  as if it were truly
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: the treasures of God,
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: the kingdom of God,
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: the riches of God,
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: if you treat your whole life like the cathedral of God,
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: the house of God,
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: you will find yourself in the kingdom.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you will find yourself
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: In the glory.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm in a forest right now.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not surrounded by any kind of luxury by our society standards.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: And yet, I can't imagine anything more precious, anything more glorious.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: No, this is it.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is it right here.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: This is the kingdom.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: This is the glory.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's ever present.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's all around us where we're surrounded by truly infinite treasures,
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: infinite riches,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: pearls beyond price.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Every moment is a pearl beyond price.
• 5:51
  And we don't let ourselves see it because we're so fixated on
• 5:56
  the story that we've
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: come to believe that we've inherited.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to see it that way.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: There's another perspective.
• 6:06
  You can drop all definitions and let yourself notice the
• 6:09
  vividness of now.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: Now is always so vivid.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's always so detailed.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's always so luscious.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's always shining with ever new artistry, ever fresh.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: This moment has never been seen before.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: This moment is new.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: This moment is fresh, never seen before, never to be seen again.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let yourself drink it in.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: You are in the kingdom.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: And if you let yourself feel that,
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: if you treat your life that way,
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_00: if you approach your life with devotion,
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: thanksgiving,
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: worship,
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: the treasures reveal themselves more and more.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a fascinating tendency,
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: as Christ put it in the Bible,
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: to those who have,
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: more will be given.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: And to those who have not, even that will be taken away.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: And it's referring to an inner realization.
• 7:24
  To those who have realized the treasure and treat their life as
• 7:29
  the kingdom and see
• 7:29
  the kingdom all around and are full of the kingdom and feel the
• 7:33
  wholeness of now
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: and
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: They're not needing anything from anything,
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: just whole within and appreciating what is already here,
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: what has already been given.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: And to those, more will be given in every moment.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: They'll continue to see more treasure in every moment.
• 7:51
  And probably various forms of worldly treasure that don't
• 7:57
  really matter will
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: naturally gravitate toward them as well because they don't need it.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're overflowing.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Their energy is like a great giant sequoia.
• 8:14
  You just want to go hug the sequoia because it's not asking for
• 8:17
  anything from you.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's just being itself and providing shade.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas to those who are living in a self-created sense of scarcity and
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: ungratitude,
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: feeling like
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: They need something from everyone.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: And seeing only lack all around them,
• 8:46
  more will be taken away because they will continue to
• 8:48
  experience lack from that
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: perception.
• 8:51
  And their energy of grasping and craving and I need something
• 8:57
  from you will tend to
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: repel people.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: You know, take that with a grain of salt.
• 9:04
  I'm not trying to put that forward as some kind of absolute
• 9:07
  principle,
• 9:07
  but
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: There's a tendency for it to be that way.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: Heaven begins within.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: The kingdom of heaven is within you, as Christ said.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: All of life comes back to noticing that here and now.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Noticing here and now that the treasure is here.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Where your treasure is, there your heart shall be.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 9:37
  place your heart in the now because the now is what we truly
• 9:40
  have and if you root
• 9:43
  root your life there in true thanksgiving and you see the
• 9:46
  kingdom all around you
• 9:47
  and you treat life as the kingdom more will be given that i can
• 9:52
  say assuredly in
• 9:55
  the sense that it becomes self-perpetuating it gains momentum
• 10:00
  if you start
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_00: training yourself to live in the kingdom and see the kingdom,
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: treat life as the kingdom,
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: worship the kingdom,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: be grateful for the kingdom,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: you will continue to notice the artistry.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: You will notice the ever fresh,
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: ever new,
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: ever self replenishing artistry,
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: all of experience like a river of pure poetry,
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: pure waters of life,
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: pure nectar of joy.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: You will notice that you'll receive more of that.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about
• 10:31
  worldly treasures money is nothing possessions are nothing they
• 10:36
  they tend to weigh
• 10:36
  you down more than anything you know yeah the bare minimum
• 10:43
  tends to be nice to have
• 10:44
  it's nice to have a roof over your head food for your kids but
• 10:48
  really beyond that
• 10:49
  it's mostly a distraction it's mostly hot air it's not about
• 10:53
  that money is nothing
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: fame is nothing status is nothing
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: The now moment is everything.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: The love in your heart is everything.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: The people around you are everything.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: Hugging your children is everything.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Looking in their eyes is everything.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: Touching a tree,
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: touching a stream,
• 11:09
  praying by the stream and thanking God for these waters that
• 11:14
  you can baptize
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: yourself with,
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: that you can bless your heart with,
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: that you can place upon your skin.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: The sound of the rain, the chirping of the birds,
• 11:30
  We overlook the priceless treasures that have been given in
• 11:34
  search of something
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: that we've been hypnotized to believe that we want,
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: some kind of lifestyle on a screen.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's not it.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's not it.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's present.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's here.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: The gift has been given.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: And if you see it, it will continue to be given.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: You just let yourself notice it.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: You just discover the practices that help you notice it and worship it.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: And be thankful for it, the artistry that is here.
• 12:05
  And if you live with an ungrateful heart,
• 12:07
  that will be self-perpetuating too.
• 12:10
  You'll just see more lack and more lack and no amount of
• 12:13
  worldly accumulation will
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: ever ameliorate,
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: alleviate that lack.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's internal.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: So see the kingdom now.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: Treat this life as the kingdom.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: What you do to the least among you,
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: this you also do to divinity,
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: to the great mother,
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: the great father.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you for listening.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Peace and love to you.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: God bless you and your family.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: May the road rise to meet you.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: May the wind be at your back.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Be well.
