  Speaker: Hi.
• 0:00
  Speaker: Good morning.
• 0:02
  Speaker: This is practice.
• 0:04
  Speaker: One's life is practice.
• 0:07
  Speaker: It is sensing a heightening awareness, cultivating, scrutinizing, rising in our own awareness.
• 0:18
  Speaker: In what manner?
• 0:20
  Speaker: In a sense of being realistic and honest, being virtuous and authentic, bringing a sense of positivity, being here now as a bundle of miracles, which we all are.
• 0:40
  Speaker: Get that into one's head.
• 0:45
  Speaker: No, I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just telling you what is.
• 0:49
  Speaker: I think it's better to be honest with oneself and to come to a sense of realization we are an animal upon the face of the planet Earth in the star system Sol, in the Milky Way galaxy, of a physical universe incorporating some combination of time passing, flowing, and space.
• 1:17
  Speaker: It is sobering and it is a miracle, and every single thing that has occurred since the time of this creation is a miracle as well.
• 1:30
  Speaker: It is a state of mind of understanding the complexity of everything.
• 1:39
  Speaker: Ourselves, know thyself.
• 1:42
  Speaker: Do you not want to remember all day whom you are (?) the majesty of millions upon millions of years of tradition, of generations before us?
• 1:56
  Speaker: Of course we do.
• 2:00
  Speaker: This is our goal.
• 2:02
  Speaker: Practicing all day.
• 2:04
  Speaker: Pausing and remembering whom we are, where beneath the clouds of a sky filled with energy we actually consume.
• 2:18
  Speaker: On the surface of a world mostly covered by the water of our forebears and a bit of land where we now dwell.
• 2:37
  Speaker: In my humble opinion, I believe mankind as a seemingly pre-eminent creature upon this planet we call our own, has an inherent responsibility to not only do our best for ourselves with our expanding consciousness and creativity, as / in remembering the whole universe is basically one.
• 3:10
  Speaker: It is the energy of creation.
• 3:13
  Speaker: Everything boils down, drills down, layer upon layer like an onion, deeper and deeper to its core as primal energy.
• 3:26
  Speaker: We are all related in constant communication, feeling inside the textures beneath one's skin, one's pulse, one's thermal energy, of course, one's awareness of one's whole body shimmering with thirty-seven trillion cells.
• 3:49
  Speaker: Celebrating another moment's life activities.
• 4:00
  Speaker: This is what's going on, taken for granted for sure.
• 4:05
  Speaker: In parts of us, not everywhere, of course, because the mechanism is working.
• 4:10
  Speaker: This is another proof there are many levels of consciousness.
• 4:15
  Speaker: People call it unconsciousness.
• 4:17
  Speaker: Okay.
• 4:18
  Speaker: Just a word that man has devised.
• 4:22
  Speaker: Does it mean it's the ultimate truth?
• 4:24
  Speaker: Hardly.
• 4:25
  Speaker: For civilizations that thought the world was flat seven hundred years ago, what do you think?
• 4:33
  Speaker: Coming into one's own recognition can be done in many different ways.
• 4:41
  Speaker: Assimilating this just because of a moment's quirkiness or perhaps a more dedicated pathway, one like meditation, prayer, contemplation.
• 4:55
  Speaker: Doing this in such a manner as finding one's own roots in one's physicality, in one's innate human being-ness, Homo sapien-ness, is a universal and easy way if one puts time and effort into it, because it is energy that creates one's success or failure.
• 5:23
  Speaker: A lack of effort, a lack of energy means a lack of success.
• 5:28
  Speaker: If you do this constantly every day, all day, the speed and rapidity of one's success is multiplied.
• 5:40
  Speaker: When one couples this with creating an environment where we are planting seeds of virtues in our hearts and souls, furthering one's garden of being alive is enhanced.
• 5:56
  Speaker: Flower seeds too.
• 5:58
  Speaker: Planting all sorts of things, herbs, basil, cilantro.
• 6:02
  Speaker: Planting beauty in one's mind.
• 6:06
  Speaker: It can be a physical garden or it can be good thoughts.
• 6:10
  Speaker: They are similar yet not the same.
• 6:14
  Speaker: Doing both is better.
• 6:18
  Speaker: To have greater understanding, heightening a sense of responsibility and detail, caring for actual plants, shrubs, trees.
• 6:30
  Speaker: To be in awe is to be astonished in a sense of reverence.
• 6:36
  Speaker: This can come from anywhere anything.
• 6:41
  Speaker: It is innate in everything.
• 6:45
  Speaker: Surely it can come from one's gardens.
• 6:48
  Speaker: When you look upon a flower or a vegetable or fruit coming into being, everything is a miracle.
• 6:59
  Speaker: If one takes the moment to develop this pathway of understanding, of kindness, of curiosity, of making a gesture to learn and to delve more deeply into.
• 7:20
  Speaker: This is mindful meditation.
• 7:22
  Speaker: We're doing that here right now, today.
• 7:27
  Speaker: It's simple.
• 7:29
  Speaker: Being here now, presently is what this means.
• 7:35
  Speaker: Just aware.
• 7:36
  Speaker: Expanding one's sensitivity, feeling one's eyes, ears, one's nose, tongue and mouth, one's feeling, one's fingers, one's fingertips, one's feet, one's sole of one's feet, one's toes.
• 7:53
  Speaker: Feeling the warmth emanating from our skin.
• 7:56
  Speaker: Feeling the pulse beneath.
• 7:59
  Speaker: "Feeling the pulse beneath.
• 8:04
  Speaker: " Feeling one's quivering, shimmering, majesty.
• 8:13
  Speaker: Some thoughts to think about today.
• 8:16
  Speaker: We are so lucky.
• 8:20
  Speaker: It need not be this way.
• 8:23
  Speaker: We take everything for granted, remembering and pausing as one needs.
• 8:32
  Speaker: It may be all the time at first.
• 8:35
  Speaker: That's okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker: Remembering the majesty of whom everyone and everything is or are.
