  Speaker: Hi.
• 0:00
  Speaker: Good afternoon.
• 0:02
  Speaker: I'm working so diligently in finding a place to purchase in Puerto Rico that it's overwhelming all of my other usual habits I have, including early in the morning making this podcast.
• 0:18
  Speaker: I'm just as soon as I finish, I'm gonna go out and go look in an area that I'm interested in.

  Speaker: Everything that we do in life is a series of moments of consequences of us making a direction and pursuing it, having a goal.
• 0:37
  Speaker: We all know this.
• 0:39
  Speaker: And it's a beautiful thing because it gives us the ability to move through a series of steps in positive directions.

  Speaker: Again, very lucky to know.

  Speaker: And today of all days is the Easter Sunday.
• 0:55
  Speaker: I believe this is the resurrection of Christ, of Jesus Christ in the Christian Catholic religions.
• 1:03
  Speaker: It's a very big day.
• 1:05
  Speaker: And it is one of 365 total days, each of which are miraculous in their own unique way.
• 1:17
  Speaker: For everyone that is born in this world and has been born in this world is not so very different than Jesus Christ's.
• 1:33
  Speaker: Each of us have a vascular, pulmonary, and all kinds of other different systems involved in the creation and maintenance of being alive.
• 1:48
  Speaker: Regardless of whatever one is saying about his godliness or his specific relationship with his father in this case.
• 2:02
  Speaker: So he had physical characteristics.
• 2:24
  Speaker: Consider what I've just said, and I don't mean it in a derogatory or in a condescending manner at all.
• 2:33
  Speaker: I mean it in a way of just having a wider perspective of spanning millions of years and not hundreds of years or a couple of millennia, and look at the history of evolution on our planet.
• 2:50
  Speaker: It begins to change the way one feels about what's going on, what's occurred in, let's say, the last five to ten thousand years.
• 3:01
  Speaker: There are many religions, and there's many great religions that exist right now.
• 3:08
  Speaker: Jainism and Sikhism and Zoroasterism and Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Druidism, Islam, Buddhism.
• 3:23
  Speaker: So many.
• 3:26
  Speaker: Each having many wonderful things about them.
• 3:30
  Speaker: So it is not a denial of being religious and having a spiritual tradition.
• 3:37
  Speaker: It is a celebration of all of them.
• 3:41
  Speaker: Because what do we know is that everyone is our cousin.
• 3:47
  Speaker: No matter where, no matter what culture, no matter what spiritual tradition, they are still part of the family of mankind.
• 4:03
  Speaker: So I leave you with this.
• 4:05
  Speaker: I ask you to ponder and remember whom you are, a bundle of miracles, humbled by one's own perception, thankful, to have an opportunity to be aware, to have one's neurons excited and one's synapses snapping.
• 4:35
  Speaker: There's so many miracles, they are everywhere.
• 4:42
  Speaker: You know, our mother is also the sea.
• 4:47
  Speaker: Yes, also a physical mother, your mom, but it is also the sea.
• 4:53
  Speaker: And you have a physical father, and yet it is also the sun.
• 5:00
  Speaker: For we need all three to be here now.
• 5:06
  Speaker: Without one or the other, no one would be here.
• 5:12
  Speaker: Just a different kind of energy, taking nothing for granted.
• 5:19
  Speaker: The celebration is ongoing every day, every moment we breathe, in every pulse we share, in every awareness of one's energizing heat, of one's thermal energy, in everyone's deep sensations and understanding of one's own energy, of one's own shimmering majesty.
• 5:49
  Speaker: It is as close as your nose is being here now, thankful, humble, at peace.
• 6:12
  Speaker: Have a wonderful day, your majesty.
• 6:17
  Speaker: The music is continuing for another minute, please ponder, think about what we're saying.
