  Speaker 1: People are scared and they're confused and they're reaching for
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: what I call our true humanity. Like E.T. was reaching
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for home. Within us is the real knowing of who
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we as human beings are and we're trying to be that.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: That these things that are part of our very being
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: If we can understand that you take what you have
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and you use what you have and make the most
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: of it, just make do. And it's been such a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: helpful thing. You take what you have and you make do.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You've shared your whole career, beautiful and radical ideas. This
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: notion that medicine can be flipped from killing to living,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that we could put love in the center of it
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and we could recognize that The healing comes from the inside.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I think these messages are just transcendent.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And not be afraid of love. It's the very essence
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of our being. And if we can accept it and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: share it and not try to, you know, you can't
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: save it. It's an energy. You don't save energy. You
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: have to use it. If you don't use it, it dies.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: That life really, really needs to reach out to other people.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And we need to understand how life gets stuck. Try
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to find joy and happiness. Find something that makes you laugh.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Really gutting laugh. Not something mean, but something that really
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: makes you feel like, oh, that's really, really funny. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: look for that kind of of reality in your lives.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And then spend time looking for what I call the light.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I kind of see myself walking along with a flashlight
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in the dark on my path, and it's dark, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I can just go as far as my flashlight takes me.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But as I'm walking along, sometimes on the side of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the path there's a light that is not very bright.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of shimmering. If I shine my light
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: over there, all of a sudden that light becomes great.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: In other words, as we reach out for each other,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: as we're walking along and we see someone else who's struggling,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and we reach over just with whatever we have, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: my mother's make-do, whatever is there, whatever the opportunity is,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and you use it, and you work forward with it,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you're helping people in ways that you know not. See,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I've come up with what I call five L's. The
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: first one is life and love. Without life, there's nothing,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you know. You can be a seed in the Great Pyramid,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for 5,000 years and nothing happens until love, which is
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: light and water and so on, softens the shell and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the seed opens up and it grows. Life and love
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: are one unit. They work together. It's like a pregnancy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: When a mother is pregnant, she and that baby are
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one unit. What she eats, the baby eats. What she thinks,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the baby thinks. It's a constant process. But that aspect
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of reality that is that baby that is being nurtured
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and grown within the womb doesn't really find its own
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: identity until it takes its first breath. And then... It
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: becomes who it is. It takes the reason why it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: coming into this earth. So it's this reality that life
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and love are one unit and that as we work
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: with each other that way, we can really understand aspects
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of ourselves, but aspects of the world around us and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: aspects of other people too. The third one was laughter. Laughter.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Laughter without love is cruel. It's mean. It takes families apart.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It has caused wars, you know. Laughter can be cruel.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But laughter with love is joy and happiness. The fourth
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: L is labor. Labor without love is drudgery. You just
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: got to go to work. You just got to do this.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But labor with love is bliss. It's why we singers sing,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: why painters paint. It's why I do what I do.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's why you do what you do. It's what makes
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: our hearts sing. It's that inner aspect of our being
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that comes alive. And we'll work five times as hard
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as we were when we were dragging ourselves along with
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the drudgery thing. And the fifth one is is listening.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Listening without love is empty sound. It just doesn't make
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: any sense. You don't understand. But listening with love is understanding.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So these five L's have been very helpful for me
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in structuring and understanding the philosophy and the lives that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm working with. Because we really don't understand our own power. See,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I have this kind of idea that when God created
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this earth, whoever God is to whoever you are, he
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: created the earth and it was beautiful and everything was
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in place the way it should be. But then he
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: created the human being and he said to us, now
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you are the only creatures on this whole place that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have the right to choose and have free will so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: therefore I give you dominion over the earth and we
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: being who we were decided that what he meant by
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: dominion was dominance and so we've taken over the earth
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and done what we darn well choose with it and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: look where we are so it's that reality that within
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: In us as human beings, I think that like E.T.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: who was reaching for home, I think that in the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: inner part of us, we're all reaching for our true humanity.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
