• 0:00
  Speaker: Hi.
• 0:00
  Speaker: Finding comfort, being calm, an environment where we are at peace, a sense of equanimity in our beings.
• 0:11
  Speaker: As well, we're coming alive.
• 0:16
  Speaker: We're being responsive to this focusing concentration we're having upon our own physicality and finding a depth that's increasing.
• 0:30
  Speaker: It's like swimming down in the water.
• 0:33
  Speaker: Deeper and deeper, we find ourselves experiencing each sequential flowing moment, becoming aware of the motion of our body in several distinct ways. Finding our chest, our torso, our lungs rising and subsiding, our diaphragm rising and subsiding, our heart squeezing and resting, squeezing and easing all of the time.
• 1:14
  Speaker: Finding the heat emanating from our body in a continual cascade of thermal energy being powered by these two miraculous, muscular activities of respiration and circulation.
• 1:33
  Speaker: Here we are, bundles of miracles, formed over a span of three billion years.
• 1:44
  Speaker: Evolution.
• 1:47
  Speaker: Hello, welcome.
• 1:50
  Speaker: Humbled each and every one when we consider the depth of our own creation, our DNA, our blueprint, our software, our guideline for our own cellular creation is here inside all of ourselves.
• 2:21
  Speaker: Mankind, Homo sapiens.
• 2:25
  Speaker: We are one family.
• 2:28
  Speaker: It is best always to make one's efforts to remember we're always talking about family of cousins from different places, cultures, traditions, family, just the same.
• 2:46
  Speaker: Nonetheless, we are one race of mankind upon this world.
• 2:53
  Speaker: Are we mature enough to recognize the sovereignty of this planet of our earth?
• 3:02
  Speaker: If and when other species from other worlds come into contact with ours, then do we need to wait for this reckoning, when we can just as easily have it today to be proud, to be thankful, to be humble, to feel a sense of compassion, empathy for all of our kind?
• 3:37
  Speaker: Can we find ourselves living or being or imagining ourselves in the shoes of some other person in some other land, in some other culture, and stand in those shoes and better understand why and wherefore we are different as a witness, an observer, objective, without egotistical ramifications, just to better understand for one's own interests and curiosity to better understand one Self, wherein we exhibit our own complexities?
• 4:37
  Speaker: What ways do we lean?
• 4:40
  Speaker: How do we stand?
• 4:46
  Speaker: Do we lean one way or another?
• 4:51
  Speaker: Do we lean in as going forward or lean back as in hesitating?
• 5:00
  Speaker: Or do we lean left or right, whatever that conceivably means?
• 5:06
  Speaker: An understanding in all of these directions, they are always subject to change, for the world, for ourselves, for everything that is in it, around it, to the ends and the reaches of our universe are all the same.
• 5:32
  Speaker: Change is the constant of this universe we find ourselves in.
• 5:41
  Speaker: Fourteen billion years of evolving from the simplest energy to what we today can now find, even just upon this one lonely, solitary planet we call our own.
• 6:08
  Speaker: Thinking about these things now.
• 6:14
  Speaker: Life as well as we are bundles of miracles.
• 6:19
  Speaker: In all of its ramifications, manifestations, species, thinking about this.
• 6:28
  Speaker: Let's just imagine and go beyond.
• 6:32
  Speaker: Finding ourselves contemplating, visualizing far, far reaches in space across time.
• 6:42
  Speaker: This is what our telescopes are doing.
• 6:48
  Speaker: They are recording the time of millions and billions of years ago.
• 6:56
  Speaker: And in these far distances, being witnessed to the countless galaxies being seen, receding into the distances, and being aware, in each one, perhaps two hundred billion suns with all their little planets revolving around in elliptical orbits like our own... their Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and all of a sudden, when we try to visualize this honestly in a sense of authenticity, in a sense of common sense, we begin to realize if the opportunities and the probabilities and the potentials of life came to exist upon this third planet in distance from this sun, and we are considering trillions of planets across the face of creation.
• 8:20
  Speaker: How many more planets are like this, revolving around how many suns?
• 8:30
  Speaker: All of this occurring simultaneously, like our breathing, our pulsing, our thermal emanations, being here now, realizing our own depth, for we have made this distant journey, as surely as we are in whatever posture in whatever environment, we are found, humbled by this immensity, we're visualizing and talking about, humbled and thankful for having a part.
• 9:26
  Speaker: Thinking about these things, please, one's practice, one's effort all day, remembering whom we are, one's sacred saying, one's vibrating body, shimmering with the energy of life.
• 9:53
  Speaker: Remembering you have many tools at hand, follow, and help one Self flow.
• 10:03
  Speaker: Grow, Glow, Shine in one's own Self recognition.
• 10:22
  Speaker: It is as simple as this.
• 10:24
  Speaker: Know thy Self.
• 10:27
  Speaker: This is the commandment.
• 10:30
  Speaker: This is what we're doing. Know thyself.
• 10:36
  Speaker: The music continues for another minute.
• 10:40
  Speaker: Please ponder.
• 10:41
  Speaker: Spread the word.
• 10:44
  Speaker: The Aquarian age has dawned.
• 10:48
  Speaker: We are waking up, and we need all the help we can get.
