1 00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:12,160 vast majority of people are today is that it isn't just the present feeling of fear tha... 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,199 injected from outside of us. There's also a deep and now multi-multi-generational trau... 3 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,600 keep passing on that keeps us. Climate change is a big, big conversation and it's going ... 4 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Hey, Inspire Tribe, my fellow freedom lovers. It's John Nolan here. Thank you so much for 5 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:44,479 tuning into another Inspired Conversation. I have the biggest smile on my face today 6 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,240 because something that I've been looking forward to for a very long time is happeni... 7 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,439 time to the Inspire Channel someone you know, someone you've probably, if you're anythin... 8 00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:07,519 listened to, learned from, and followed for years or even decades like me. 9 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:14,000 I'm talking about Greg Braden and the list of his accomplishments is so long. I'll just 10 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,359 little bit. He's a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, educator, ... 11 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:30,560 Greg is known around the world as a gentle trailblazer, questioning the narrative and 12 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,480 boundaries while building bridges and inviting us all to cooperate rather than 13 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,439 Greg Braden, it's my great honor and pleasure to have you on today. Thank you for coming. 14 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,760 John Nolan, I am so excited to be here with you. I'm thrilled to be with your communit... 15 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:59,359 your music for many years, and this is a media week for me, and I get a little exce... 16 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:04,879 that has all my media interviews, and when I looked down and I saw yours, I had a big 17 00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:10,719 that has lasted down since the beginning of the week. I'm honored. This is unscripted,... 18 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,199 We have no idea where this is going to go. It's a dance. My brother, I'm going to fol... 19 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,280 you're packing like crazy because you're about to embark on one of your journeys or 20 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,759 where you fly all over the world. You connect with audiences in various different forms and 21 00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:39,120 around different subjects, but always around the ones that I just mentioned. You're such a 22 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,400 beautiful bridge builder in the world, which is so highly appreciated. I want to quickly, 23 00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:56,479 mentioned to me on a phone last week. You said, "I've been working on this new book ... 24 00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:03,360 development because you are pushing boundaries, and now more than ever." You 25 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,319 talking to my publisher, and they were kind of hesitant, and they wanted me to change 26 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:13,840 and then I met with them recently, and they did a complete 180, and now they want it done 27 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Yeah, well, thank you, John. It's interesting how things unfold. My publisher's a good 28 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:33,039 and they've been really good to me. I've done good work for them. I think I have 12 or 1... 29 00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:38,800 Hay House is the publisher. I was with Random House before that, and I was publishing 30 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,960 something interesting began to happen. I had a book that was entitled "Human by Design," 31 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,639 and I don't know about you, but when you write a song or you write a book, and I'm 32 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:04,719 of our viewers know this, there is an energy around that title. When that title comes t... 33 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:17,680 inspiration. For me, that will always be the title of the book. I had a book called "Hu... 34 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,360 Paperback." When it came time for paperback, they really pushed to change the title, 35 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:31,199 and they wanted to move away from the controversy, I think, of the human by desi... 36 00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:42,319 years ago, we know this through the genetics, the forensic genetics that we're doing today. 37 00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:48,879 They wanted to focus on the self-help part of the book, so they changed it from "Human b... 38 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:55,839 to "The Science of Self-Empowerment," which I felt was not the strongest title. Not my 39 00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:08,879 It's called "Pure Human," and that is exactly what I mean to say. It's exactly what came... 40 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:13,439 was walking this beautiful high desert here in northern New Mexico. I'm coming to you 41 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:19,040 our studio just outside of Santa Fe. That title came through really clearly, and 42 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,480 around that, because we live in a world where we're being taught and our young people ar... 43 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:40,079 doesn't support that, and the movement to replace our biology with technology, the 44 00:05:40,079 --> 00:05:45,439 computer chips in the brain, AI, sensors under the skin, chemicals in the blood. 45 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,519 we can scale the human organism, because every time we think we reach a limit, we 46 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:08,319 adapt, and that's something that a computer chip cannot do. A computer chip is limited... 47 00:06:08,319 --> 00:06:14,000 it's made of. The energy, the information, can only move between the atoms of silicon... 48 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:25,120 know what the top end of our scalability is. The book, Pure Human, is saying that, and 49 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:32,399 was some hesitancy around that because of the controversy. Nothing happened. The book ha... 50 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:38,319 been published. I'm still writing this book. It's about halfway through. Early this yea... 51 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:56,879 they asked to meet. I had no idea what we were going to talk about. To my amazement ... 52 00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:04,720 they did what I perceive as a 180. They said, "Wow, you were a little ahead of your time... 53 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,839 now, the AI and the human relationship to AI. How quickly can you get this book out?" 54 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:24,000 It will be entitled Pure Human. It took about three years, I guess, to go through what 55 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:34,560 through for them to come to that understanding with me. It's not about maki... 56 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:44,240 and that it's happening everywhere and it happens differently to different people 57 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,040 learn differently through the lens of the perception of our own personal lives. 58 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,240 They're business people. They have a company to run and they want to avoid controversy ... 59 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,759 understand that. We are now writing to empower our community. I said to them, "If 60 00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:13,199 shared in the mainstream that will help them to navigate these next months and years in... 61 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:18,399 way." This is the thing. We don't want to just survive. We want to thrive as we move 62 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:26,399 this extraordinary little window, this little window where we have the opportunity to 63 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:39,679 That's the inside scoop. There will be a book entitled "Pure Human" and the other book t... 64 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,120 will always be "Human by Design" because that was the energetic template that was presen... 65 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:51,200 writing that book. Even though you go to Amazon, it's called the science of 66 00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:06,159 they didn't. Then I got them to put on the book "Formerly Human by Design." I think i... 67 00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:12,159 on the cover that they did that. It was a business choice. It's a business decision ... 68 00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:19,200 There's more than business happening here, John. There's a planet at stake. There are 69 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:34,799 do. I feel that it's my joy, my passion, but I also think it's my duty to share, as I 70 00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:41,039 what is happening. Part of the reason I'm able to do this, and I feel like I can do ... 71 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:46,960 John, because I am a degree earth scientist, but I have a strong background in life 72 00:09:53,440 --> 00:10:00,480 astronomy. I say that because it's that multidisciplinary background that gives me 73 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:06,960 ability to stay current. All the new discoveries and all the tech journals acro... 74 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,919 I got to tell you, the discoveries are coming fast and furious because the science is 75 00:10:20,639 --> 00:10:25,679 that tells us we're not what we've been told and we're so much more than we've been led to 76 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:31,519 believe. That difference is what empowers us and gives us this evolutionary edge so tha... 77 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:40,240 thrive in whatever it is that life brings to our doorstep. On some levels, we are shifting 78 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:52,480 change our inner world, it is being reflected in the world around us. You have a really 79 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,879 sophisticated audience, a really well-informed audience. I know they are. I 80 00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:02,960 and that's why I know that I can talk about these things and say these things to them. 81 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,159 So thank you for that. No, thank you, Greg. As a matter of fact, 82 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,399 about on our channel. You have moved through so many worlds and are connecting the dots 83 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:20,639 those worlds that are seemingly disconnected, but they all belong together like you said, 84 00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:26,799 the different disciplines to science. As a matter of fact, it is my belief that these 85 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:32,240 have been disconnected from each other on purpose to compartmentalize knowledge, 86 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:44,480 Which touches back on what you said is what we really talk a lot about are the two 87 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,919 we're currently so clearly seeing. One is this technocratic path that the mainstream 88 00:11:49,919 --> 00:11:55,200 is really pushing hard for, and the other one is the organic human timeline, which we're 89 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,639 beginning to rediscover. Like you said, there was intervention 200,000 years ago 90 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:09,919 It's called the gift of the feather, the gift of consciousness that was given, 91 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:16,799 that basically put us on a different trajectory. So on this organic timeline, 92 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:24,879 you spoke about extraordinary abilities and what we might be capable of if we give 93 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,960 oftentimes to our culture. We have the Wim Hofs today that are showing what is not ju... 94 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,240 for one person, but basically can be taught and replicated. Wim Hof is a beautiful 95 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:50,720 what he's taught thousands and tens of thousands of people to do, suppress bacter... 96 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:07,279 things that seem superhuman. In your view, what would it take for us right now, at le... 97 00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:13,120 a critical mass, hit that pause button for a little bit on the technocratic path and fo... 98 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,159 this organic timeline? Wow, it's a big question, John, and I know we're going to 99 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:31,200 bit of a foundation that we can tie into. And my sense is our time will go quickly, and 100 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:37,759 become John and Greg, part one, and then we can tie back into this and refer to this i... 101 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,840 conversations as well. You okay if we do it that way? I would love that, please. Pleas... 102 00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:46,120 I would love that, please, please go ahead. Yeah, so I think I'll begin the timelines 103 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:54,600 talking about are evident because we are, there's a battle unfolding in our lives an... 104 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:01,720 secret to anyone who is with us right now. There's a battle unfolding in plain sight and 105 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:14,520 there's a battle for our thoughts and we're being inundated with ways to think if you ... 106 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,680 connected through any kind of legacy media or mainstream media. There is a battle for our 107 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,200 beliefs and this is playing out in the universities in the classrooms. Where did ... 108 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,960 from? How did it begin? Is it random or is there an intelligent design that are lying... 109 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:45,320 random mutations or is there some kind of an intelligent intervention underlying our 110 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,160 So there's a battle for our thoughts. There's a battle for our beliefs. There's a battle 111 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:55,240 bodies. That's obvious. How do you get healthy? What does it take to stay healthy... 112 00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,920 participate and how much do we empower something outside of ourselves to keep us 113 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,680 is so obvious. They say the best way to hide something is to keep it in plain sight and 114 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:20,519 exactly what's happening. There is a battle for our very humanness. We are the prize. ... 115 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:27,000 in this ancient battle that has been playing out since humans first emerged and we all 116 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:40,040 the technology that's available at the period in time as it's playing out and we happen ... 117 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,120 living a very sophisticated technological age but that same ancient battle is playing out. 118 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,720 The battle for our humanness and the reason our humanness is on the line, I'm going to 119 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:04,360 humanness is so important is because through our biology we access our divinity and thi... 120 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:11,320 a battle, an ancient battle for our divinity. Now, many, I said this on the stage two we... 121 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:17,640 and many people in the audience linked divinity to religion and I can see why tha... 122 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,280 but if you look at the Webster definition it's really interesting. Divinity has noth... 123 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,920 with religion so let me share what that definition is and then we'll take it from 124 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:43,080 is the ability to transcend perceived human limitations and that's it. The ability to 125 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,920 in the definition perceived those limitations may not even be real. They are the 126 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:02,440 we've been conditioned to accept about ourselves, our relationship to our bodies ... 127 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:10,440 So why is the divinity so powerful and the reason is because when we embrace the deep 128 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,880 of ourselves. The events that you're seeing playing out in the world, when we're all 129 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:31,720 all this stuff's important, climate is important, the buckling and the breaking d... 130 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:38,600 systems, the economic systems, social systems, it's all important and all needs ... 131 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:53,000 in fear so that our divinity is veiled and when we lose access to our divinity, we 132 00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:00,759 and susceptible to other people's ideas of and their agendas of what the world should 133 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:07,960 and what our bodies should look like. So it is in the interest of the powers that be t... 134 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:20,680 effective ways of doing that is to create fear in a population and we are inundated 135 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:27,240 even if you don't watch TV. I go to my little local co-op where I get all my organic 136 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,279 and that's where I plug into my local community and people are frightened becaus... 137 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:46,759 the fear, you're in perpetual fear and it threatens everything that people know to b... 138 00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:52,519 their lives, the certainty of life, they cannot plan with certainty their children'... 139 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:59,640 their retirement or whether or not they're going to be able to help their parents in ... 140 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:12,599 and that uncertainty creates a level of panic, anxiety and fear. So there's a batt... 141 00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:20,120 divinity that's playing out. Now part of that battle, it's not new, this has happened at 142 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:26,120 three generations in the modern technological world that's been happening for thousands ... 143 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,279 have children, so what I'm going to say is still being taught in the schools today. O... 144 00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:48,039 are being taught that the human body is flawed by its very existence, that we are ... 145 00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:56,759 life, carbon-based life is flawed and for example, among the flaws, emotion, our 146 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:12,279 this because the emotion, clouds, they say, clouds our ability to think clearly and to 147 00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:18,920 decisions. They're teaching our young people that human intimacy and sexuality is flawed 148 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:26,120 because when a man and a woman conceive a child, there's so much uncertainty. There'... 149 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:37,079 fast twitch muscles for athletic performance or what kind of IQ, so we're teaching our 150 00:20:37,079 --> 00:20:45,320 people that the human biology is flawed and that we are victims of a world that we hav... 151 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:52,440 over and if we're victims, it means we need a savior and that savior is being touted as 152 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:04,039 Our young people are being taught that technology is what will save them, it will 153 00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:14,120 in life, the ability to compete successfully and to replace the flawed human biology. W... 154 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:29,320 metaphor, it is literally an antenna, it is a very high frequency antenna that tunes us ... 155 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:37,800 divinity, the timeless, ageless part of us, where our intuition comes from and where o... 156 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:43,720 and our imagination come from, that's all done through the biology, the DNA. When yo... 157 00:21:50,279 --> 00:21:58,120 still have it, but you alter it, it's like taking the dial on your radio station and 158 00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:04,200 enough so you no longer pick up that station, you no longer tune into your divinity, thi... 159 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,320 what we're seeing and it's not like it's going to happen, it's already happening an... 160 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,759 slick and sexy the marketing is, the high-tech marketing that appeals to young 161 00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:27,720 makes it look really cool to have a computer chip in your brain so that you can 162 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,840 your gaming device without using any wires, they say, man, that's sweet, that's sweet, 163 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,720 it's evolving too quickly, in one generation we will determine how much of ourselves we 164 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:54,360 to technology and another way of looking at this is we will also determine whether or ... 165 00:22:54,360 --> 00:23:02,280 ourselves enough, John, to embrace the deep truth of the gift of our humanness that wa... 166 00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:12,840 beginning to understand, we're about to give it away before we even know what we're giv... 167 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:19,480 exactly and so that's what the book Pure Human is really all about, so this is wher... 168 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:25,079 how this is playing out now is the answer to your question, there are two parallel 169 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:39,480 on everything, they're saying bring it on, I just saw a video of there are European 170 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:46,680 that are now requiring RFID chips in the body to get into the security rooms and in offices 171 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:54,039 and for banking and finance, so I just saw there was now this is an extreme, there wa... 172 00:24:01,079 --> 00:24:05,640 I don't have to take my billfold, no credit cards, I don't have to remember anything, 173 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:12,680 he says it's great and this is the way that it's being touted, so there's one group 174 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,800 and then when I go down to my little co-op here and just outside of Santa Fe, New 175 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,360 like I said I don't have any kids, I'm not plugged into the local community in that w... 176 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:34,599 because they're busy raising kids and they're busy trying to keep their farms alive beca... 177 00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:40,680 government subsidies aren't helping, the climate change isn't helping, the supply 178 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,960 broken down are still broken down in some respects, so they don't talk about everyth... 179 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,320 talking about, but here's what they do know, they look at me and they say Greg, somethi... 180 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:02,680 kids out of the public school to homeschool them, they're saying we need to grow our o... 181 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,320 they're making it illegal now to sell private produce in the farmers markets 182 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:14,280 in some states and they're making it illegal to pull our own water or they're being taxed, 183 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,759 we're being taxed if we pull water out of the ground or if it's captured from the roof a... 184 00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:28,360 community, we don't know what's going on in the world, doesn't make sense, but we need... 185 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:35,000 down and go back to the basics, so that's the other path and you're seeing both of them 186 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,559 right now and sometimes it's in the same house, sometimes it's the same dinner tabl... 187 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:44,280 want the tech and the parents want to go back to the basics, so here's what's going to 188 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,840 check each other out and we're going to say ultimately who's happier, who's healthier, 189 00:25:54,840 --> 00:26:03,400 whose lives are more fulfilled, the people that have filed the tech given all in on t... 190 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:10,599 path, the people that have chosen to slow down and go back to the basics, my sense, ... 191 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,720 I think the tech is here, we'll always have some of the technology, the question is do... 192 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:28,119 enslaved by the technology or do we allow the technology to serve us so that we can be 193 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:35,720 happier, freer, love without fear, love more completely and stay connected, so I don't 194 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:51,559 that will choose to allow the technology to serve them outside of their bodies rather 195 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:56,599 that technology to replace their natural biology in their body, so it's a long answ... 196 00:26:56,599 --> 00:27:00,920 question and I want to lay that foundation so then we can tie into that for the rest of our 197 00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:12,759 further in this because we we sort of kind of established and I think we're of the same 198 00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:18,599 here that as you said there is a design, there's a designer, there's a creator, the... 199 00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:23,400 intelligent that created this beautiful, amazing human potential in biology. 200 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:34,400 Now, on the other side of this equation, there is an intelligent design that is 201 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:53,400 It wants to usurp it literally and alter it to a point of no return and that's now clear. 202 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:59,400 I mean, the Ray Kurzweil's and the people that have been out there saying this very 203 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,400 They're pushing hard. 204 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,400 So what is -- 205 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,400 You mean, John, are you saying the dark forces aren't being nice to you? Is that w... 206 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,400 Yes, that's what I'm saying. 207 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:38,400 And Greg, this is a multifaceted question because you can go into another dimensiona... 208 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,400 To the best of your ability and your experience, what are we dealing with here? 209 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400 Because I think it's important to know that. 210 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,400 Yeah, I'll answer that on two different levels. 211 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,400 It is complex and it's also really simple. 212 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:03,400 Science is actually simple until we make it complex with symbols and equations and rea... 213 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,400 The principles are really simple. 214 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,400 So I'm going to tie back in to everything I just said. 215 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,400 There is a battle that is playing out in our lives. 216 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,400 It's not going to happen. 217 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,400 We are in it and the only way out of it is to go through it. 218 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:16,400 We get to choose. 219 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,400 We have to go through it now because we're in it. 220 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,400 Exactly, exactly. 221 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:31,400 I think the question is, do we come out of this battle with a soft landing or do we c... 222 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:37,400 When we talk about a battle, we talk, people typically think in terms of fighting. 223 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,400 And what I want to say really clearly is the way to win this battle is not about fighting. 224 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,400 The way we win this battle is by living the best version of ourselves. 225 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:11,400 When we become the best version of ourselves, when we embrace the deep truth of our 226 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:34,400 I mean, it's happening, there are policies being written right now and laws are being 227 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,400 So I want to be really clear about this as well. 228 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:57,400 We had to fight if we had not fought during World War II when it reached the point tha... 229 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,400 By the time it reached that point, we had to fight. 230 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:17,400 But the reason that it happened is because people were disempowered emotionally, 231 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Those nations gave away the freedoms that we have today and they gave away the ability ... 232 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,400 So we all know there are times that we have to fight and I'm not saying that we will 233 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:52,400 What I'm saying is on this spiritual level of divinity, when you love freely and you fre... 234 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:03,400 You're no longer susceptible to those other ideas and those other visions. 235 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,400 I am a huge fan of Buckminster Fuller. 236 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:13,400 Some of our viewers probably don't even remember him because I think he passed in 237 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:21,400 But you probably know who he is because he's probably best known for his architectural 238 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,400 And I was working in the Cold War industry, Jean. 239 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,400 A lot of our viewers may not know that. 240 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Not by choice. 241 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,400 There's a whole story of how I ended up where I ended up. 242 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:50,400 But I ended up working in the defense industry during the Cold War as a senior 243 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,400 It was a missile system. 244 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,400 And it was during that time I was reading Buckminster Fuller. 245 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,400 And he said something that was so powerful, one sentence that stood out to me. 246 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,400 And he said, you'll never change the world by fighting against the things you don't like. 247 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:19,400 He said, if you want a better world, he said, find a new way that makes the old way 248 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400 And I think there's a lot of truth to that. 249 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400 And I think we may see it in this lifetime. 250 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,400 I mean, what happens if they throw a war? 251 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,400 What if they throw a war and nobody comes? 252 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,400 Nobody shows up. 253 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,400 I'm seeing young people. 254 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,400 I know young people today that are having a changing consciousness. 255 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:45,400 They love this country and they would fight if this country were ever attacked or if 256 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400 I would do that. 257 00:33:50,400 --> 00:34:02,400 And to walk onto the land of our brothers and sisters in another nation and to hurt or k... 258 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,400 Something has shifted in their consciousness and they say, you know, we don't want to d... 259 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,400 We don't want to do that. 260 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400 And so we're seeing this happen right now. 261 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,400 There is a shift in consciousness and it's tricky because we need both. 262 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:33,400 On the other hand, we're moving into a new paradigm where we're operating on differen... 263 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,400 And, you know, we're experiencing that now. 264 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,400 We're living fifth dimensional warfare. 265 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:59,400 Rather than imposing the new world upon us, we're being led through fear to make the 266 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:07,400 That is the agenda and the vision of people like the UN and the WEF and things like that. 267 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:22,400 And I think our greatest defense that we have, how you win this war, is you become 268 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,400 Don't succumb to the crap that they're trying to feed you through the media. 269 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,400 I just drove down the street in Santa Fe. 270 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:36,400 I love my city here and I looked and building after building after building was crappy f... 271 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:48,400 and you're going to buy things to sell to people, why not sell them something that's 272 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,400 And it was just -- and I'm not going to name, call out any one. 273 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,400 It was all of them. 274 00:35:52,400 --> 00:36:02,400 It was all heavy, battered, fried, saturated fat, one after another after -- and then y... 275 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,400 It's not just the city. 276 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,400 I see it in a lot of cities I go to. 277 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:23,400 And then you say, you know, are these coincidences that these things are happening? 278 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:31,400 And by living the best version of ourselves, we consciously walk away from that crappy 279 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:45,400 I'm going to go back one of my -- early in my career, and I still do, I studied an ancie... 280 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,400 I know a lot of your viewers know who they are. 281 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,400 Jesus was of the Essenes, as was his mother. 282 00:36:51,400 --> 00:37:00,400 And when I was reading some of the Essenes texts back in the 1980s, there was a 283 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:09,400 And when I talk about Jesus, this is a learned man who also is a spiritual figure. 284 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:17,400 But just as a learned man, he was sharing things in his time that were radical ideas. 285 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,400 And by the way, the Essenes did not know themselves as the Essenes. 286 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,400 They were known as Therapeutae because they knew how to heal the body. 287 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,400 The way -- he didn't give them a list of dos and don'ts. 288 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,400 He gave them a principle that we can apply in our lives today, John. 289 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:46,400 And what he said, he said, "The things that kill your food kill also your body. 290 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,400 And the things that give life to your food give life to your body. 291 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,400 Therefore, eat only the things that give life to your body." 292 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,400 Man, you can't get any clearer than that. 293 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,400 You can't get any clearer than that. 294 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,400 It doesn't know what natural food is. 295 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,400 And this is what many people are using to fill their bodies. 296 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:14,400 So part of our divinity, as we awaken to this extraordinary potential, 297 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:20,400 to the fact that we are the product of an intelligent divine intervention. 298 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:36,400 And to honor that, why would we want to put anything into our bodies other than what 299 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,400 And I know it's a very different way of thinking for some people. 300 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400 But that is how you win this war. 301 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,400 You win the battle by becoming the best version of yourself. 302 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,400 And that's different for everyone, whatever that means. 303 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:58,400 It's just when you are able to thrive and love. 304 00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,400 And this is important. 305 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:07,400 To love yourself fearlessly, because that's what gives us the power then to love others. 306 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,400 And to do things for other people. 307 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,400 And to give of ourselves to other people, because we are so full with our own love. 308 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:25,400 When we are filled with the love and the respect, because with that love comes resp... 309 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:31,400 When we respect ourselves enough to love ourselves to our greatest potential, 310 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,400 that's what frees us to be at our best. 311 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:39,400 And that's where we can help our brothers and sisters in ways that's very, very difficul... 312 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:50,400 You said you're going to spend all of about 12 days at home over the next four months ... 313 00:39:50,400 --> 00:40:00,400 And the, the, clearly the physical health, it's also always a reflection of our 314 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,400 And one thing I think you're very familiar with from your own story. 315 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:25,400 There's also a deep and now multi, multi-generational trauma that we keep 316 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,400 There's, there's a systemic traumatization has been going on. 317 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:46,400 We are now realizing that trauma is at the root of all of our suffering and that both 318 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:02,400 How do you see the liberation and what happens to, to people when they heal from 319 00:40:58,759 --> 00:41:02,759 and what happens to people when they heal from that trauma? 320 00:41:02,759 --> 00:41:07,480 You know, thank you, John. And again, you just covered a lot of ground there. 321 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:18,199 First of all, the travel. I am traveling a lot more than I typically would. I don't m... 322 00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:32,360 stages and platforms throughout the world and to be with my global family. What's happen... 323 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:39,319 I'm still playing catch-up for the events that were postponed during COVID. And only 324 00:41:39,319 --> 00:41:46,839 venues that we were committed to in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 are there available n... 325 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:58,360 produce these events and they can't do it if the speaker is not there. So yeah, I'm 326 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:05,000 a bit in a joyous way. And to do that, I have to be the best version of myself because m... 327 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:12,039 is to be present, to be focused, and to be the best version of myself when I step ont... 328 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,480 they've taken time away from work, they've taken time away from their families. Many ... 329 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:26,920 traveled by air, sometimes to other countries. That's my way of honoring those 330 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:33,880 that way, we celebrate our humanness together. And it is, it's a joyous thing. 331 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:39,159 And you and I are both musicians. You know, I think we've been musicians probably in past 332 00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:59,799 what I'm seeing, the generational trauma, what I see is this. At least in our 333 00:42:59,799 --> 00:43:06,519 that this is a pivotal moment in the history of our lives, of our nation, of our 334 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:20,519 window of time to, to create the energy that is moving into and that the new world will... 335 00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:27,719 upon, that foundation. We are all the product of trauma. We are a traumatized society. W... 336 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:35,400 a traumatized civilization. We're still living the trauma. My family trauma. I am,... 337 00:43:40,359 --> 00:43:47,079 Hebrew side, there's a lot of trauma from holocausts that happened within the last 1... 338 00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:52,920 And what we know, this is so fascinating, John. This is, this is what we do from the 339 00:43:52,920 --> 00:44:02,920 show this to people how the emotions create a chemical residue that we now recognize. 340 00:44:10,359 --> 00:44:17,400 want to metabolize and pass through the body. And normally they do, unless they are the 341 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:24,039 of trauma and fear. And then they cannot metabolize because the emotions haven't be... 342 00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:29,799 haven't been reconciled. So what happens is those neuropeptides actually attach to the 343 00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:42,039 in, in the feminine, often is associated with, with breasts and uterus. And you see 344 00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:47,639 in uterine cancers and, in breast cancers and things like that. And there are studies being 345 00:44:47,639 --> 00:44:53,239 done linking those. You can't say one is the cause of the other, but there's a high 346 00:45:02,279 --> 00:45:07,960 to nurture and how that links to some of these, these conditions. So what I see on,... 347 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:16,119 your question, what I see on my stages is our community, Jean, we don't want to take our 348 00:45:16,119 --> 00:45:23,319 and our suffering and our trauma into the new world. This is the opportunity to heal the 349 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:36,199 it's, it's going to be a cleaner world in terms of the emotional residue that, that 350 00:45:36,199 --> 00:45:43,480 in there. And people consciously want that. They want to heal the, the generational 351 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,960 So how does it happen generationally? I mean, I've had people say, well, I didn't have a... 352 00:45:55,079 --> 00:46:06,359 actually, the DNA in ourselves is encapsulated in a protein. And that protei... 353 00:46:06,359 --> 00:46:13,719 When the trauma is unresolved, the protein locks down on the DNA. It's called spoolin... 354 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:27,319 and prevent the DNA from its fullest expression in the presence of trauma. If 355 00:46:27,319 --> 00:46:35,960 if people have a baby, they will pass that spooling on in the sperm or the egg into t... 356 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:43,239 offspring into the child. That's how you transmit generational trauma. And then the... 357 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:59,400 that full expression until that trauma is resolved. So this is fascinating. I mean, 358 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,960 sadly, where a lot of this comes from is they're now studying children. 359 00:47:12,519 --> 00:47:19,159 are, are generations in, in duration. They've been there for generations. And so now babies 360 00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:24,519 are being born in the refugee camps and their mothers are so traumatized, their mothers are 361 00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:31,400 passing that trauma onto the offspring. They have the brain size is smaller, body size ... 362 00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:43,000 it's passed on. So even if you don't do that in the field, in the field, we're also 363 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:49,559 trauma because that we're all linked through our biology to that field as well. So what 364 00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:54,599 is that people are aware of that. They're conscious of that. They know that they hav... 365 00:47:54,599 --> 00:48:01,319 opportunity and they want to heal. They want to contribute to the new world. They don't 366 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:12,279 disinformation that has led to that hurt and trauma in our lives. So they're consciously 367 00:48:12,279 --> 00:48:17,319 working to heal. And there are a lot of different ways to go about doing that. A l... 368 00:48:17,319 --> 00:48:22,759 ways. But that's again, a long answer to a short question. Oh, you're, I love the lon... 369 00:48:22,759 --> 00:48:28,039 because you build, you built a journey that encompasses and brings everything together. 370 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,119 is that we see a, Christine and I host a retreat twice a year, the Yadda retreat, 371 00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:44,679 retreat. And one of the things we see more and more often is also there's a certain a... 372 00:48:44,679 --> 00:48:49,799 a little higher up that tends to come to the retreats, is this sentiment of it stops with 373 00:48:49,799 --> 00:48:55,079 me and something new begins with me. And this is what so many people really want. We see 374 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,000 You don't know nothing about it shows up, it presents itself and it can be resolved. So 375 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:11,559 you say, the tools are emerging from all areas and they're becoming available. And ... 376 00:49:11,559 --> 00:49:17,799 is over the next years and decades, the trauma healers, the people that feel calle... 377 00:49:17,799 --> 00:49:21,639 others and facilitate that healing. I believe this will be one of the most important 378 00:49:26,519 --> 00:49:30,920 it's beyond the scope of what you and I can do here. I've mentioned there are many 379 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:41,480 The family constellation is really, really powerful. Heart-brain coherence that is 380 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:47,880 through the Institute of Heart Math and some of the techniques they're doing is very 381 00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:02,279 don't have to even know what the trauma is, but you will lubricate those and allow tho... 382 00:50:02,279 --> 00:50:10,119 to metabolize and pass through the body. And we do this in our programs and it's 383 00:50:10,119 --> 00:50:17,639 those neuropeptides contain micronutrients and trace minerals depending on what the 384 00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:28,199 the time their mouth tastes like metal or their breath will smell metallic. And they... 385 00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:33,399 through their tears, through their urine. They'll say their urine smells funny. And ... 386 00:50:33,399 --> 00:50:39,399 It's because these neuropeptides, as they are leaving the body, they carry with them 387 00:50:39,399 --> 00:50:44,920 those trace minerals and the mineral residues. And it's all part of our biology. 388 00:50:50,279 --> 00:50:54,119 had shared these things with us. It's a very different way of thinking. There were people 389 00:50:54,119 --> 00:51:00,039 that knew it. It just wasn't commonly accepted. And it's being a little more 390 00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:07,159 outside of mainstream education. Mainstream education is still locked in to some pretty 391 00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:14,039 obsolete science based upon false assumptions. We're still teaching our kids... 392 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:27,159 Lucky physics. It's actually called lucky physics and we're the product of lucky 393 00:51:27,159 --> 00:51:36,119 So yeah, and it's very sad. We're also, climate change is a big, big conversation. 394 00:51:36,119 --> 00:51:42,119 to become bigger because it has been hijacked. The science has been hijacked by 395 00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:54,119 I aspired to, when I knew I would either be a scientist or a rock star, and I wasn't sur... 396 00:51:54,119 --> 00:51:59,319 I tried the rock star thing first. And, you know, and I enjoyed it. 397 00:51:59,319 --> 00:52:02,840 I think you are a rock star scientist. Let me put it that way. 398 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:10,359 Well, thank you. Thank you. So I'll share a story. In 1967, I went to a concert 399 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:20,920 Starship. I was in love with the lead singer, Grace Slick. She stood on that stage and I 400 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,239 in the front row and I proclaimed my love. I said, "Grace Slick, I love you." Of course, 401 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:32,759 she completely ignored me. But the point was, I looked around in that, it was an indoor 402 00:52:32,759 --> 00:52:40,039 And there were maybe 30 or 40,000 people in that stadium. And what I saw that a few 403 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:54,359 30 or 40,000 people. But I also saw something else. And I noticed this really early on 404 00:52:54,359 --> 00:53:01,399 when the music was over and we were leaving that stadium, people wanted to have that 405 00:53:01,399 --> 00:53:07,079 but they needed something outside of themselves to recreate the feeling. They 406 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:19,559 recreate that feeling. Well, at the same time, I had another experience. I saw a ma... 407 00:53:19,559 --> 00:53:24,679 not long ago, his name was Billy Graham. Many of our viewers know who Billy Graham was. ... 408 00:53:24,679 --> 00:53:30,679 evangelical speaker. And I can't say I was on board with 100% of everything he said, 409 00:53:39,079 --> 00:53:45,719 Kansas City A's athletic stadium. And he moved the hearts and souls like the Jeffer... 410 00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:51,880 did. Here's the difference. When people left, they didn't need something outside of 411 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:58,519 to have the feeling because his words had changed the way they felt about themselves. 412 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:10,039 to carry that change into their lives. So I recognized that early on, and I said there's 413 00:54:10,039 --> 00:54:18,359 got to be either through music and the words in the music, or through the precision of ... 414 00:54:18,359 --> 00:54:26,840 that are so powerful. May I take a moment and just say something about words? Can I say 415 00:54:32,119 --> 00:54:38,759 to invite our viewers and our listeners. If you've never thought about this, we speak ... 416 00:54:38,759 --> 00:54:41,639 we don't often think about what's happening. 417 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:36,840 if you've never thought about this, 418 00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,800 we speak so commonly, 419 00:54:40,980 --> 00:54:44,360 We are such a highly advanced, 420 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,940 technologically sophisticated, soft technology. 421 00:54:47,940 --> 00:54:49,320 That's what we are. 422 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,160 We're not computer chips and AI and chemicals, 423 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,080 we're neurons and cell membranes 424 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,680 and ion potentials moving across cell walls. 425 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,760 And we self-regulate through thought, 426 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,280 So when we speak, think about what you do 427 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,840 every time you speak. 428 00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,480 I'm gonna look into the camera at our viewers. 429 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,920 Because you breathe the breath of life 430 00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,200 from the world around you, 431 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,560 and in the most intimate act you can imagine, 432 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,680 you invite that breath to penetrate 433 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,280 into the deepest recesses of your being. 434 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,160 You take something out there and you bring it in here, 435 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,560 to compress that breath in just the right way 436 00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,440 to send it back from where it just came from. 437 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,039 And as it reverses the course 438 00:55:42,039 --> 00:55:44,960 and follows back up through the windpipe, 439 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:49,320 that breath flows over the vocal cords 440 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,080 and we vibrate the vocal cords in just the right way 441 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,840 to reflect the emotion and the thought 442 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,000 so that we create the acoustic patterns 443 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,600 to convey those emotions and thoughts 444 00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,920 as those waves leave our body 445 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,560 and they fall on the eardrums 446 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,640 and on the surface of the skin of another being 447 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,039 who then interprets what it is 448 00:56:18,039 --> 00:56:21,160 that we've just experienced through those acoustic patterns. 449 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:24,480 And it's never 100%. 450 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,200 The interpretation will approximate. 451 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,240 what I'm feeling precisely the same when I say it, 452 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:35,560 yet we communicate this way 453 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,480 and I will never feel precisely what you're saying 454 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,120 because we're not the same being. 455 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,680 This is such a sophisticated experience 456 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,920 and we don't even think about it, John Nolan. 457 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,720 We don't even think about it. 458 00:56:47,720 --> 00:56:52,200 And it's a reminder of how extraordinary we are 459 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,039 and I think we owe it to ourselves 460 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,080 before we give ourselves away to the technology 461 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,960 because once we do that, 462 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,720 once we replace our biology with synthetics, 463 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:07,720 our body begins to atrophy those abilities. 464 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:10,280 Neurons think they're no longer needed 465 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,720 if they're replaced with a computer chip 466 00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:14,120 or the immune system thinks it's no longer needed 467 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,640 if there's chemicals that mimic that function. 468 00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,360 Cell membranes, sensors in the skin 469 00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,800 and once that happens in one generation, 470 00:57:26,039 --> 00:57:29,960 "Oh yeah, we used to do that, I'm paraphrasing a cell." 471 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,240 We used to do that, 472 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,080 but maybe we don't need to do that anymore 473 00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:34,680 and this is how you lose a species. 474 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,320 It's exactly how you lose a species 475 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,000 and it can happen in a single generation. 476 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,480 We are such an extraordinary and precious form of life 477 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,680 and no one tells us that, John, 478 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,680 and I think we need to, we're worth preserving 479 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,360 at least understanding what it is 480 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,400 that we're about to give away to the technology 481 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,039 and we could do a whole program on just that. 482 00:57:58,039 --> 00:57:59,240 - I'll be honest with you, Greg. 483 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,080 This is, in so many words, 484 00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,000 this is the mission statement 485 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,240 of what we do, why we show up every day. 486 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,720 It's to remind people of this intimate relationship 487 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,920 with the creator, with the divine, 488 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,000 that is the foundation to rediscovering these things 489 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,680 because if you don't have that, 490 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,480 the other stuff usually doesn't reactivate. 491 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,600 It comes through a spiritual connection. 492 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,280 if we don't really do it now, it will be lost 493 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,320 and God knows if we can ever get it back, 494 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,920 which I think is the message here. 495 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,039 I would like to shift gears a little bit.
