Speaker 1:
00:00
What is awake and what is conscious?
Speaker 1:
00:02
What is unconscious?
Speaker 1:
00:03
What is subconscious?
Speaker 1:
00:04
And what is consciousness?
Speaker 1:
00:05
And so maybe we start there.
Speaker 1:
00:06
We're at conscious 500.
Speaker 1:
00:08
And so my favorite way to picture this is the aperture of a camera lens.
Speaker 1:
00:13
That's what consciousness is.
Speaker 1:
00:15
I think it is just the aperture through which you're seeing the knowledge field, which is the universe itself.
Speaker 1:
00:21
We're going to have to hold them both and stop saying one's conscious, one's not conscious, one's awake, one's not awake.
Speaker 1:
00:26
That's the cognitive dissonance that we're caught up in now.
Speaker 2:
00:30
Ego just died another time.
Speaker 1:
00:33
I'm only 30 seconds ahead of you.
Speaker 1:
00:35
I'll explain your next death to you in just a moment.
Speaker 1:
00:39
If we are to really go through the epoch shift that we're
Speaker 1:
00:43
Called to you right now and really let go of the trauma and really step into our new humanity, we're going to have to find human medicine very soon.
Speaker 1:
00:50
And so lose the judgment right now on yourself.
Speaker 1:
00:54
On everything you've ever created, relationships, companies, or anything else, and become the polarity to the trinity of suffering, so that you can transmute something at the speed of forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:04
Into a little bit of light, and then you'll be a leader of the next humanity.
Speaker 2:
01:09
Welcome to the sixth episode of the Conscious 500 podcast.
Speaker 2:
01:13
My name is Mark von der Heyden.
Speaker 2:
01:15
I'm so looking forward to invite you to learn everything about this Conscious 500 speaker series with our first special guest, Dr.
Speaker 2:
01:23
Zach Busch MD.
Speaker 2:
01:25
We invited Tech inside the beautiful Vondelkerk in Amsterdam with more than 100 people, where we combined music with well-being and insights about conscious leadership.
Speaker 2:
01:37
And this episode serves as a way for everyone.
Speaker 2:
01:40
In the world, to get to know more about sex perspective and at the same time learn about Conscious 500, which is a growth network for conscious leaders on a mission to elevate business for good.
Speaker 2:
01:51
Enjoy!
Speaker 2:
01:52
So, let's give a warm applause to our guest of.
Speaker 1:
02:09
It's awesome to be with all of you.
Speaker 1:
02:13
I think I want to start just in a moment that's come through in this conversation for a little bit that just happened with a few of you.
Speaker 1:
02:21
And what I find is that there's actually never a single human experience happening.
Speaker 1:
02:25
We're collectively experiencing the universe.
Speaker 1:
02:29
And we take so much personally because we're limited to these egoic minds that believe that we must be the only person suffering this much or feeling this thing or thinking this thing.
Speaker 1:
02:39
And so just to release that, if you want to just close your eyes and let's just drop into the original space.
Speaker 1:
02:48
Which was your mother's womb.
Speaker 1:
02:51
And the only thing that you can hear in your mother's womb that's overwhelmingly
Speaker 1:
02:56
Setting the pace of your own creation, your own process of going from one cell to 70 trillion human cells powered by 14 quadrillion.
Speaker 1:
03:08
mitochondria that were derived from a small population of organic gardens that was received by your mother through your mother.
Speaker 1:
03:17
Is her heartbeat?
Speaker 1:
03:18
It's just her heartbeat tuning that in for us.
Speaker 1:
03:53
It is a foreign noise.
Speaker 1:
03:54
Because it's not yours and you are not hers.
Speaker 1:
03:59
And that heartbeat continues.
Speaker 1:
04:02
That heartbeat continues in a rhythm of surrender.
Speaker 1:
04:07
The womb, it turns out, is the only place in the human body that can be completely blinded to the immune system.
Speaker 1:
04:14
It would be dangerous to blind any part of your body to the
Speaker 1:
04:18
to the immune system for th there would happen things unseen.
Speaker 1:
04:24
But the womb was designed to be just that, the only place that could be completely hidden from the mother so that her immune system could not see you.
Speaker 1:
04:32
Because if she could for a moment, her immune system would have killed you in utero.
Speaker 1:
04:37
Because the moment you quantum entangled with your soul, you took on a separate identity.
Speaker 1:
04:43
Up until that moment of conception, not with sperm, but actually of soul.
Speaker 1:
04:49
The sperm and the egg connect very often in human
Speaker 1:
04:53
Biology, but it becomes a a pregnancy and a being only through the conception of the soul.
Speaker 1:
05:00
So there has to be a quantum entanglement between
Speaker 1:
05:04
your ancient identity and that fertilized cell.
Speaker 1:
05:09
A fertilized cell is not a conceived cell.
Speaker 1:
05:12
It's a two-step process.
Speaker 1:
05:17
The moment before conception, that egg is fully mother, and it travels through her abdomen, released from the ovary down into the fallopian tube, scanned by one of the most intense
Speaker 1:
05:30
immune systems in the entire body, which is in the in that perineal space, in that liminal space, around the gut and between
Speaker 1:
05:40
That gut and the ovary and the ovary and the flopian tube highly surveilled and no problem because this surveillance only sees mother, sees the egg of the mother, no attack.
Speaker 1:
05:53
But the moment that egg entangles with another quantum being, it has to be blinded by progesterone.
Speaker 1:
06:00
And so the womb is under a veil of this hormone that is a potent
Speaker 1:
06:05
umbrella, shield, a Faraday cage from the mother.
Speaker 1:
06:10
And so that heartbeat that tunes us into our original rhythm of reproductive capacity within our own cell that will become us.
Speaker 1:
06:20
It's a rhythm of surrender.
Speaker 1:
06:22
The mother has turned this part of her body over to source, and only source works here, and that source is you.
Speaker 1:
06:32
And so as we go through tonight together, we're going to start to surrender the stories, the very human, limited perception stories that we have projected on our mothers and on our fathers.
Speaker 1:
06:44
And we have blamed them and held them responsible for all kinds of things, where we've blamed ourselves for not living up to them.
Speaker 1:
06:51
It's all a fake scenario.
Speaker 1:
06:54
You did not come from your mother.
Speaker 1:
06:56
You did not come from your father.
Speaker 1:
06:57
You came through your mother.
Speaker 1:
07:01
And so the heartbeat is a rhythm of surrender.
Speaker 1:
07:05
And we're going to surrender a lot tonight together if we do this well.
Speaker 1:
07:08
And it won't become writ in the new law, the new Akashic record of your bones, until you dance that in.
Speaker 1:
07:15
So we are going to dance tonight as well, because without that somatic embodiment, this will be a mental game or a
Speaker 1:
07:23
Heartfelt experience, but it will not be your new self until you dance this thing in.
Speaker 1:
07:28
And so we're going to dance it in tonight so that you remember this in your bones: that you come from you.
Speaker 1:
07:34
And you will finish you.
Speaker 1:
07:37
And there's no way that there's any part of the journey between becoming you and finishing you, that you were disconnected from the whole that is you.
Speaker 1:
07:45
So we're going to surrender everything in between as well.
Speaker 1:
07:50
I'm so grateful to be here with you all, Mark.
Speaker 1:
07:52
Thank you for making this an opportunity for us to come together.
Speaker 2:
07:57
Thank you for this beautiful prayer.
Speaker 2:
08:04
Let's all take a deep breath in through the nose.
Speaker 2:
08:08
Release.
Speaker 2:
08:11
Let's do two more because it feels so good.
Speaker 2:
08:14
Breathing in.
Speaker 2:
08:17
Release and the last one, breathing in and release.
Speaker 2:
08:30
You can slowly open your eyes, come back into the space.
Speaker 2:
08:38
I feel this deep breath is something that's also really missing in our world right now, where everything is speeding up and going faster and faster with the evolution of technology and AI and
Speaker 2:
08:52
What would be a way for us to create more moments like this, to remember that we need to take at least one breath as leaders to make a decision in this world?
Speaker 1:
09:03
Yeah, I think it's uh invitation that is rarely taken in a day.
Speaker 1:
09:11
We're in a period of time that's quite beautiful, which is a remembering of our spirituality in the sense that we're
Speaker 1:
09:19
less and less outsourcing that to organized religions that have so dominated our conception, our concept of
Speaker 1:
09:28
our spirit or our spirituality.
Speaker 1:
09:30
And people are taking some radical responsibility for remembering their own connection to that.
Speaker 1:
09:36
Spirituality as an experience, but also its practices, its rituals, its remembrance is coming through.
Speaker 1:
09:43
And we're seeing this huge resurgence of
Speaker 1:
09:45
Ceremony with indigenous cultures around the world, and it's a beautiful thing to witness.
Speaker 1:
09:50
Certainly wasn't happening 10 years ago, and now there's 500 ayahuasca ceremonies every weekend in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1:
09:56
So that's a really dramatic shift happening around the place.
Speaker 1:
10:00
Planet right now, but it carries with it a deep caution in that we're about to outsource our spirituality again to
Speaker 1:
10:10
uh indigenous practices or thinking it's the plant that's doing this.
Speaker 1:
10:14
The plant is simply some leaves and some roots that are mixed into a concoction that create a momentary ego death.
Speaker 1:
10:20
But it's not God and it's no more intelligent than
Speaker 1:
10:24
you are.
Speaker 1:
10:25
In fact, I would argue that the human being is the most intelligent ecosystem on the planet.
Speaker 1:
10:29
So pretty quickly, we're going to need to if we are to really go through the epoch shift that we're
Speaker 1:
10:35
called to right now and really let go of the trauma and really step into our new humanity, we're going to have to find human medicine very soon.
Speaker 1:
10:43
And plant medicine needs to be a bridge to that.
Speaker 1:
10:46
But we're going to have to surrender the addiction
Speaker 1:
10:49
and really turn to human medicines very soon.
Speaker 2:
10:53
And how would you define the human medicine?
Speaker 2:
10:56
Because I know before we were talking about
Speaker 2:
10:58
the addiction to being in the mind, which is pretty obvious, but also the addiction to the heart, that we really want to feel, but we're addicted to the feelings, but it can still be like a prison.
Speaker 2:
11:09
And then you guided us on a session to go more to our womb space, which felt extremely peaceful.
Speaker 2:
11:14
And I've never even thought about that perspective, but it makes a lot of sense once you experience it.
Speaker 2:
11:20
Is that an example of the human medicine that you're talking about?
Speaker 2:
11:23
Or is it sound or vibrations?
Speaker 1:
11:26
Yes, the human medicine is the same compounds that you would be getting from plant.
Speaker 1:
11:31
medicine.
Speaker 1:
11:32
So the reason why we respond so well to ayahuasca or a San Pedro or a synthetic of MDMA or psilocybin in its natural or synthetic forms is because we have
Speaker 1:
11:46
receptors throughout our body for those compounds because we make those compounds.
Speaker 1:
11:51
And so there's a tendency to attribute, again, the experience that you've had to the plant, but actually the experience you've had is your own receptors turning on in response to a stimulus.
Speaker 1:
12:00
And so once you've had a plant medicine experience, I think it's quite easy.
Speaker 1:
12:04
And a lot of people have, fortunately, have this experience that you can get back into that place without the medicine.
Speaker 1:
12:09
And it gets easier as you gain confidence in that pathway.
Speaker 1:
12:14
And for me, three breaths and breath work now gets me there.
Speaker 1:
12:19
Like, it's just like almost instant.
Speaker 1:
12:21
It's quicker than ayahuasca setting in, is the breath.
Speaker 1:
12:23
And so if you.
Speaker 1:
12:24
Really tune in and make yourself available to jump to that frequency of reception.
Speaker 1:
12:29
Your body is making these things all of the time, which is also interesting that the body is always in a quantum state of awareness and sensing.
Speaker 1:
12:38
And it's only because we spend so much of our reality in the human mind and human heart that we don't sense the rest of it.
Speaker 1:
12:44
And for that, we play out a very base version of our full potential.
Speaker 1:
12:49
And this is where the autistic
Speaker 1:
12:51
community is so interesting to us right now because these beings are not programmed with the current paradigm.
Speaker 1:
12:58
They can't be they can't
Speaker 1:
13:00
connect to the value systems or the belief of the ego in the same way that each of you were trained into it by age five.
Speaker 1:
13:07
And so by the time we're entering our
Speaker 1:
13:09
primary school days, we are very heavily every day, every minute getting programmed with an egoic shield that we have to adopt because we're being trained to believe we're separate from everything.
Speaker 1:
13:20
And we're rejected from nature.
Speaker 1:
13:22
The autistic mind cannot do that.
Speaker 1:
13:24
And so we call it sensory processing deficit in Western medicine because anything that doesn't look normal, we call it pathology.
Speaker 1:
13:32
And so, a being that suddenly doesn't have a shield of feeling everything, we call that a disease.
Speaker 1:
13:38
That person's clearly got a problem.
Speaker 1:
13:40
when in fact these children are free of the problem.
Speaker 1:
13:44
They're free of the original human problem, which is this egoic split from nature.
Speaker 1:
13:49
And so what you see in an autistic child is a being that is fully feeling and fully utilizing its intelligence
Speaker 1:
13:58
And this is why when you get these high functioning versions of what we used to call Asperger's or autism spectrum disorder, you see extreme states of genius.
Speaker 1:
14:08
But that state of genius is no more specific to that child than it is to you and to me.
Speaker 1:
14:13
And so we get to remember through these children, just as we remember through plant medicine, that we have all of this going on all of the time.
Speaker 1:
14:21
And many of you have recognized, probably said it yourself, or been told by somebody watching you that, well, we're all on the spectrum depending on our state.
Speaker 1:
14:30
And so if we get tired enough or
Speaker 1:
14:33
we can go through a period of insomnia or we go through a period of depression or we go through a long period of disease.
Speaker 1:
14:38
We can all end up somewhere on the spectrum of autism.
Speaker 1:
14:43
Which is a cool story.
Speaker 1:
14:44
It means that we're all multidimensional all the time.
Speaker 1:
14:46
And if we start to have ego death because we're too exhausted to keep up the stupid story,
Speaker 1:
14:50
then we start to become autistic in our awareness of connection.
Speaker 1:
14:54
And so it's a beautiful thing that's happening on the planet right now.
Speaker 1:
14:57
And women are leading this charge.
Speaker 1:
15:00
My clinic was full of it.
Speaker 1:
15:02
The number one complaint in a primary care doctor's office of 1992 when I started my medical journey was low back pain, and that was predominantly male.
Speaker 1:
15:12
And so men showing up in their primary care clinic complaining of low back pain, number one.
Speaker 1:
15:16
complaint universally across all people groups really.
Speaker 1:
15:20
But by the 1998, six years later, suddenly there was a new primary complaint and it was chronic pain syndromes from women.
Speaker 1:
15:28
And these were led by what we called fibromyalgia at the time and then have progressed into much more complex things that we call chronic regional pain syndromes.
Speaker 1:
15:37
POTS syndrome, which is a postural orthostatic thing where you get palpitations, anxiety with movement and all of these things.
Speaker 1:
15:44
And then by the early 2000s, that got replaced by chronic fatigue syndrome as the number one complaint, mostly women.
Speaker 1:
15:52
And so I'm intrigued that the feminine is getting so exhausted by the current status of humanity.
Speaker 1:
15:59
And we talked a little bit about this in this pre session as well.
Speaker 1:
16:04
There was a question about
Speaker 1:
16:06
why do men die so so readily after their long term spouse passes away?
Speaker 1:
16:12
And so Fred is here with us and a beautiful experience this year of his
Speaker 1:
16:19
father passing four months ago or his mother passing four months ago, and then his father passing within two months of that.
Speaker 1:
16:26
And his question was, how does a healthy man that has no real disease suddenly die?
Speaker 1:
16:32
because there's spouse left, what is that about?
Speaker 1:
16:35
And we've seen this at the population level play out, is that as soon as a woman gets married, her life expectancy goes down by four to six years.
Speaker 1:
16:44
When the male gets married, his life expectancy goes up by about two years.
Speaker 1:
16:50
No judgment on that.
Speaker 1:
16:51
Just an observation.
Speaker 1:
16:51
It's just a scientific observation, people.
Speaker 1:
16:54
It's not a social commentary.
Speaker 1:
16:59
If the woman dies first in the long marriage, and this long being typically more than 20 years, but it's seen really
Speaker 1:
17:07
you know, steady on.
Speaker 1:
17:08
Once you hit that forty, fifty, sixty years of marriage, this becomes just normal.
Speaker 1:
17:12
I think your folks were married sixty-two years.
Speaker 1:
17:15
My grandparents were married 62 years as well, and my grandfather passed away two months from my grandmother.
Speaker 1:
17:21
My grandmother of advanced Alzheimer's, my grandfather of pretty much nothing.
Speaker 1:
17:25
He was talking and sitting in his armchair and then decided he was leaving.
Speaker 1:
17:30
And so what we're seeing in this pattern is this really fascinating journey into this experience of being locked up in
Speaker 1:
17:41
our dependence, codependence on the feminine to fuel a wounded masculine.
Speaker 1:
17:48
And the masculine is wounded not because
Speaker 1:
17:51
You had bad discernment and married that guy.
Speaker 1:
17:54
It's just a universal condition, actually, in every single individual, male or female.
Speaker 1:
17:59
You are all carrying the wounded masculine within yourself as well.
Speaker 1:
18:02
We call it a Y chromosome, but it's clearly missing 25% of its original genetic information.
Speaker 1:
18:08
It's distinctly likely that that used to carry more information.
Speaker 1:
18:12
And we went through a decrement of that through some sort of massive event that happened maybe 5,000 or 7,000 years ago, very recent in our history.
Speaker 1:
18:22
we suddenly had this loss of genetic information that probably threatened the collapse of our entire species.
Speaker 1:
18:29
The restoration of it has been through the line of the mother.
Speaker 1:
18:32
And so we have stories of this, and they go back to the beginning of our record keeping, Isis and Horus.
Speaker 1:
18:38
If you've read Magdalene manuscripts by Tom Kenyon or that, it's called The Sex Magic of Isis and Horus.
Speaker 1:
18:45
I was fascinated by the book.
Speaker 1:
18:46
It kind of blew my little Christian brain up when I first read it.
Speaker 1:
18:49
And I was just like, wow, this is like freaking amazing because I feel like I remember all of this information.
Speaker 1:
18:54
And I was practicing that for a year or two before I more carefully read the subtitle and suddenly realized that that did not say Isis.
Speaker 1:
19:03
And Osiris.
Speaker 1:
19:04
That says Isis and Horus, which was her son.
Speaker 1:
19:08
Well, that's really inappropriate in the Christian brain.
Speaker 1:
19:10
So I'm like, what the heck is that about?
Speaker 1:
19:12
Like, the sex magic of Isis and Horus, that sounds highly inappropriate.
Speaker 1:
19:16
What is going on?
Speaker 1:
19:17
And then you get to The Course in Miracles, modern day, and you suddenly realize, oh my God, why is the subtitle of The Course in Miracles, The Healing of the Sonship?
Speaker 1:
19:27
Is it possible that we are in an epoch, a period of time where we are trying to recover the masculine?
Speaker 1:
19:34
And then you look at my children's generation and my grandson.
Speaker 1:
19:37
So my kids are in their late 20s.
Speaker 1:
19:40
My grandson is 18.
Speaker 1:
19:42
Compression of generations because my son married this woman from Germany that nine years older.
Speaker 1:
19:47
And she had a kiddo from previous marriage.
Speaker 1:
19:48
So I've gotten this compression of generations where there's only like 12 years between the generations instead of 25.
Speaker 1:
19:55
And yet it's still played out the exact same way in that in that short period of time of 12 human years.
Speaker 1:
20:02
The dissolution of gender has happened at an extraordinary rate.
Speaker 1:
20:06
And so my generation fought very hard for LGBTQ because my grandfather
Speaker 1:
20:13
really s really died lonely not being able to claim his sexuality.
Speaker 1:
20:18
And so he had a suppressed
Speaker 1:
20:21
history of his own sexuality that remained a a secret in my family until after he passed at eighty.
Speaker 1:
20:27
It was a tragedy.
Speaker 1:
20:28
And then my generation came along and started to fight that for this LGBTQ thing.
Speaker 1:
20:33
which felt like such a victory on so many levels until my kids' generation came along and they were like, Oh, maybe it kind of fits, but by the time they're twenty, they're like, I'm pretty sure that's not
Speaker 1:
20:44
I don't fit any of those.
Speaker 1:
20:46
And so that's when you know queer became normal instead of lesbian or gay and and suddenly it was non-binary.
Speaker 1:
20:52
And then my grandson's generation comes along 12 years later, and in that compression, you already see complete loss of gender.
Speaker 1:
20:59
And so his generation
Speaker 1:
21:02
400 kids graduating high school, very few of them identifying heterosexual, most of them non-binary queer.
Speaker 1:
21:09
And so, in a very short time period, 25 years, really.
Speaker 1:
21:12
We go from fighting for maybe gender identity to no gender.
Speaker 1:
21:20
And if you look at that LGBTQ
Speaker 1:
21:23
Pattern there, what you see is none of those represent the masculine.
Speaker 1:
21:27
They're all stretching towards the feminine, right?
Speaker 1:
21:30
The gay males are expressing
Speaker 1:
21:34
By and large, a hyperexpression of the feminine within themselves.
Speaker 1:
21:38
Since this is a man expressing the feminine in a heightened form and suppressing the masculine in some shape or form.
Speaker 1:
21:46
And so there's certainly variants of that that's not true.
Speaker 1:
21:50
But overall, you see that pattern playing out, that LGBTQ is really exaggeration or an emphasis on the feminine and a dissolution of the masculine.
Speaker 1:
22:00
And so it is quite likely that we are playing out prophecies and known end points of this epoch in which we would see the rise of the feminine, the collapse of the masculine.
Speaker 1:
22:12
So that the ego would die long enough in the male that it could be seen by itself.
Speaker 1:
22:17
And we need to stop draining our spouses.
Speaker 1:
22:20
Men, we need to stop training the women around us for life force that we don't believe is inside of ourselves.
Speaker 1:
22:28
It is inside of ourselves.
Speaker 1:
22:29
Every male has a complete X chromosome and a Y chromosome.
Speaker 1:
22:34
we do have the complete template of the feminine within us.
Speaker 1:
22:37
And if we start looking within ourselves, we will stop draining one another of life force.
Speaker 1:
22:42
And women, you have the total template of the masculine and feminine within you.
Speaker 1:
22:47
In fact, you have the complete masculine in a way that your male counterpart does not.
Speaker 1:
22:53
And this is why you feel like you are too much, because you're simply more.
Speaker 1:
22:58
And this is why you feel like you are forever unseen by, no matter how good that guy gets.
Speaker 1:
23:04
You will feel unseen because he simply has a mirror that you can't see your whole self in.
Speaker 1:
23:09
He's missing a chunk of the mirror.
Speaker 1:
23:12
It is time for some radical grace towards one another, radical forgiveness of the masculine and feminine outside of ourselves, not realizing that we were projecting a deeper wound and a deeper reality.
Speaker 1:
23:24
on people around us instead of just accepting the full opportunity and responsibility to complete ourselves.
Speaker 1:
23:31
I have no idea how we started that conversation.
Speaker 1:
23:39
That was a lot.
Speaker 1:
23:40
That's pretty typical.
Speaker 1:
23:41
That's pretty typical of me.
Speaker 1:
23:44
You can imagine what it's like to date me.
Speaker 1:
23:48
I usually have one date because by that time we've gone through not multiple deaths, not just one.
Speaker 1:
23:53
We've seen the final death, we saw the other death.
Speaker 1:
23:56
We relived seven deaths before, relived a thousand lifetimes.
Speaker 1:
23:59
We're so exhausted by the end of the night.
Speaker 1:
24:01
We're just like, I'm going to stay single, you two?
Speaker 1:
24:03
All right, good.
Speaker 1:
24:08
Wake up alone on your pillow with some relief that you're alone.
Speaker 1:
24:12
That was a lot last night.
Speaker 2:
24:18
Well, it's all extremely important, so I'm very happy that we went on that path and we where we are right now.
Speaker 2:
24:25
And what I would love to explore also is like how can we
Speaker 2:
24:31
get these concepts and this remembrance into the business world because I feel people that are
Speaker 2:
24:39
You could call it awakened or aware or conscious.
Speaker 2:
24:42
It feels like normal and it makes sense, but there's still a big group of people.
Speaker 2:
24:48
Especially in the business world, a lot of leaders are very much stuck in the mind, old paradigm, a lot of patriarchy shadows.
Speaker 2:
24:55
How can we
Speaker 2:
24:56
let them remember?
Speaker 2:
24:57
How can we hold up the mirror for them to also feel this and break through what is not serving us anymore?
Speaker 2:
25:12
That's what I would ask at a second date, for example.
Speaker 1:
25:16
This is why the second date doesn't happen.
Speaker 1:
25:20
There's nothing to say after the age.
Speaker 1:
25:21
Deaths kind of done.
Speaker 1:
25:26
Yeah, so I think I would have actually had an answer to this even maybe six or eight months ago.
Speaker 1:
25:32
the death cycle that I've gone through as a business leader as people like to define that in this last year was super important for me.
Speaker 1:
25:40
And what it relieves me of is not just the business world, it really
Speaker 1:
25:47
That's another bit of an othering, right?
Speaker 1:
25:49
So business world versus spiritual world versus my personal.
Speaker 1:
25:53
Like, there's the same freaking thing.
Speaker 1:
25:55
Like, we can believe we're showing up differently in all three of those, but
Speaker 1:
25:59
You're the same crazy ass person in every single situation.
Speaker 1:
26:03
And so there probably isn't a business reality versus a spiritual reality.
Speaker 1:
26:11
These are
Speaker 1:
26:12
Creative expressions.
Speaker 1:
26:14
So a business, a product, an idea, just another creative expression.
Speaker 1:
26:18
It's the same thing as sitting down at a piano and creating something that hasn't been played before.
Speaker 1:
26:23
And so when we start to think about business, we should really think about the spirituality of creation.
Speaker 1:
26:30
And so how do you create?
Speaker 1:
26:33
And we kind of covered this first thing before we even.
Speaker 1:
26:36
have a thought, we went right to the womb and realized that creation and everything that becomes life actually comes from the blinding of the human mind, body and immune system.
Speaker 1:
26:46
So there's only one place that these ideas come from and its source.
Speaker 1:
26:49
It's you.
Speaker 1:
26:50
It's all of nature speaking through you, which is what I would say is you.
Speaker 1:
26:53
You're an ecosystem, a complicated ecosystem.
Speaker 1:
26:57
And so when we start to think, well, the most of the world is not awake, or most of the world is not conscious, that's actually absolutely impossible.
Speaker 1:
27:06
There is not a single thing in space-time that's not awake.
Speaker 1:
27:13
Everything's awake.
Speaker 1:
27:15
Everything is conscious.
Speaker 1:
27:16
If a mineral can be conscious, then even your boss can be the conscious.
Speaker 1:
27:24
And so we have a tendency to other one another for our differences in language, and that's about it.
Speaker 1:
27:31
And so the lexicon of I have a spiritual practice versus I have a business
Speaker 1:
27:37
that lexicon, that language suddenly utters it, and it sets a whole series of expectations into play.
Speaker 1:
27:46
And humans would have already resolved our situation and become elephants probably if we didn't have expectations.
Speaker 1:
27:57
And so where I'm at with that sense of like most people are not awake or conscious is that is a reflection on how unawake and unconscious I am right now, that I could even
Speaker 1:
28:09
suppose that, right?
Speaker 1:
28:11
And so that there's that process of like, wait, what is awake and what is conscious?
Speaker 1:
28:15
What is unconscious?
Speaker 1:
28:16
What is subconscious?
Speaker 1:
28:17
What are all of these things mean?
Speaker 1:
28:20
And what is consciousness?
Speaker 1:
28:21
And so maybe we start there.
Speaker 1:
28:22
We're at conscious 500.
Speaker 1:
28:24
And for a long time, a similar paradigm was happening to me where I was being taught science.
Speaker 1:
28:31
And there was a temptation to believe that science was truth.
Speaker 1:
28:36
And we've gone through a recent period of time where that became a global mantra of trust the science.
Speaker 1:
28:43
But if you really back up to the definition of science, it's actually not a body of knowledge, and it's actually not a bundle of truth.
Speaker 1:
28:50
It's actually a process
Speaker 1:
28:52
Science and the scientific process is a journey of inquiry that then leads to more questions than answers, always.
Speaker 1:
29:02
And that's why academic careers are kind of exciting, is every question you ask, you find out you had the wrong premise to ask the question you had the wrong question
Speaker 1:
29:11
So then you go ask a slightly more accurate question, and you find out a whole bundle of new wonderments, and you're like, well, that doesn't make any sense in the current paradigm.
Speaker 1:
29:19
I need to go find out more.
Speaker 1:
29:21
That's extremely exciting as a scientist.
Speaker 1:
29:23
It was an addiction for me.
Speaker 1:
29:24
I loved it.
Speaker 1:
29:25
Every day I'd go into the lab and just be like, mind-blown again.
Speaker 1:
29:30
And I loved that feeling of everything I thought was real a moment ago is actually just a
Speaker 1:
29:36
Tiny tip of the iceberg, and there's some bigger beauty that I was missing before.
Speaker 1:
29:40
So, science is not a body of knowledge, it's a process.
Speaker 1:
29:43
Consciousness is not a body of knowledge, it is an avenue.
Speaker 1:
29:49
And so my favorite way to picture this is the the aperture of a camera lens.
Speaker 1:
29:56
At least half of you are old enough to remember what that looks like.
Speaker 1:
29:59
And so there's it's a multi-bladed
Speaker 1:
30:03
Circle basically that can close down and block light, or open up and let more light in to expose the film.
Speaker 1:
30:10
And the beautiful thing about an aperture is it has almost infinite capacity to change instantaneously.
Speaker 1:
30:16
So you can go from a really wide aperture to very narrow.
Speaker 1:
30:18
Aperture back to really wide by just spinning your aperture control on the big camera lens.
Speaker 1:
30:26
That's what consciousness is, I think, is just the aperture through which you're seeing.
Speaker 1:
30:31
The knowledge field, which is the universe itself.
Speaker 1:
30:36
And so to say one person is more conscious than another makes it sound like somehow they have more access to stuff or information or knowledge and they don't.
Speaker 1:
30:44
They simply are looking through a broader lens.
Speaker 1:
30:48
The autistic child that we're talking about earlier,
Speaker 1:
30:52
massive fucking aperture.
Speaker 1:
30:55
And that's why they're overwhelmed by the human senses, because it's so much information at once.
Speaker 1:
31:00
And so they're scanning the universe and they're like
Speaker 1:
31:03
How is my mother and father showing up this way?
Speaker 1:
31:06
And they're feeling the cognitive dissonance between the behaviors and structures that their grandparents, aunts, uncles are putting in front of them and what they're actually experiencing.
Speaker 1:
31:17
That's what leads to a child hitting its head on a wall for eight hours a day until there's a massive callus on their forehead after three years of hitting their head.
Speaker 1:
31:26
Because they're trying to create enough pain to close the aperture.
Speaker 1:
31:33
Are we all on the spectrum and are we all trying to create enough pain to shut down the aperture of consciousness so that we can handle the cognitive dissonance between humans and the reality that's there?
Speaker 1:
31:44
I think we are doing this with wars, with economics, with our food system.
Speaker 1:
31:52
with our extractive energy systems, with our codependent relationships.
Speaker 1:
31:57
We're creating pain so that we sh make a smaller aperture.
Speaker 1:
32:03
Are you willing to let go of the pain so that you can see more and tolerate for a moment the severe dissonance between our human expression and reality?
Speaker 1:
32:14
It's going to be a lot to feel.
Speaker 1:
32:17
And we all might end up nearly catatonic with the amount of information that will flow through us suddenly.
Speaker 1:
32:26
And it will be frightening because we will have just let go of the one thing that we were confident was keeping us here, which was the pain.
Speaker 1:
32:36
We're creating the pain so that we can handle the amount of beauty in the universe that we're not ready to see.
Speaker 1:
32:46
And so when you apply that to business, and you say this is a conscious person, this is not a conscious person, and you say, how are we going to get all these people awake?
Speaker 1:
33:01
You're going to become like the Autistic Child who is showing all of the people around it its reality.
Speaker 1:
33:09
It's pulling down the veil.
Speaker 1:
33:12
It's showing us that the Emperor has no clothes here.
Speaker 1:
33:16
And so you will simply begin to tone in the frequencies of a felt body.
Speaker 1:
33:23
as you expand your aperture.
Speaker 1:
33:25
And you're going to stop doing the pain.
Speaker 1:
33:28
And it will be the most frightening thing you've ever done, is to let go of the pain.
Speaker 1:
33:33
It will be the most courageous thing you will ever do as humanity is let go of the pain because it's the one thing that you think makes you human.
Speaker 1:
33:45
Our businesses are going to become spiritual places, just as our synagogues and churches have.
Speaker 1:
33:54
We're going to build more beautiful as humans again.
Speaker 1:
33:58
We're not building like this anymore.
Speaker 1:
34:01
Why not?
Speaker 1:
34:02
Our technologies are so much better.
Speaker 1:
34:06
How much better could it have been?
Speaker 1:
34:08
How much grander could we have built if we were willing to let the aperture stay wide?
Speaker 1:
34:14
What happened to Beethoven?
Speaker 1:
34:15
What happened to Bach?
Speaker 1:
34:17
What happened to Da Vinci?
Speaker 1:
34:21
Simply more human pain was felt and the aperture began to close.
Speaker 1:
34:26
And we got addicted to the pain because it kept us present.
Speaker 1:
34:32
And maybe that's all that kept us here through an epoch of separation from Source.
Speaker 1:
34:36
What is the pain?
Speaker 1:
34:38
So no judgment on the pain, actually gratitude for the pain.
Speaker 1:
34:43
Deep gratitude for pain.
Speaker 1:
34:47
Your companies are all in pain, I guarantee it, no matter what your quarterly reports show.
Speaker 1:
34:54
The people in it are in pain.
Speaker 1:
34:56
The company itself is in pain.
Speaker 1:
34:59
The entity that is the company is in pain.
Speaker 1:
35:01
The products wrapped in plastic are in pain.
Speaker 1:
35:06
So the pain can is keeping us compressed down.
Speaker 1:
35:10
We gotta release it all.
Speaker 1:
35:11
We gotta open it up and stop judgment on any of it, ultimately.
Speaker 1:
35:16
And be brave enough to start letting go of the things that have kept us human for a while.
Speaker 1:
35:20
And it's gonna feel like
Speaker 1:
35:23
a moment of massive risk of homicide and suicide because we're going to be so sensitive suddenly.
Speaker 1:
35:31
And we're not going to trust ourselves to feel that much initially.
Speaker 1:
35:37
But if we do that together, if we do that as a group and hold each other with a lot more sensitivity and a lot more affection and a hell of a lot more forgiveness and grace towards one another, I think we can do it.
Speaker 1:
35:51
It'll be the scariest shit we've ever done as humans, but I really think we can do it.
Speaker 1:
36:00
It could start in your companies, but it's going to have to start really with each of you, and that's going to make you into the leader of this new epoch where you are no longer there to
Speaker 1:
36:12
Push a vision forward.
Speaker 1:
36:14
You're there to let it birth through you and stand in awe of the beauty you can see in that and hold.
Speaker 1:
36:22
The two things separate, the reality that we're living into and the past that we have completed.
Speaker 1:
36:29
Those two things are real and they are not.
Speaker 1:
36:33
They're not ruling out the other.
Speaker 1:
36:37
There's actually bizarrely, this is really a strange moment sitting in this church right now.
Speaker 1:
36:43
The first sermon that I gave when I was 12 years old, and my church was this hippie church in Boulder.
Speaker 1:
36:49
And we ha uh somebody from the
Speaker 1:
36:52
Congregation would do the breaking of bread, kind of the communion sermon each week, and then some music would happen.
Speaker 1:
36:59
We all sing, and then one of the elders would give a more in-depth sermon.
Speaker 1:
37:05
So I had the opportunity to do my first sermon when I was 12 or so, and the scripture that I spoke from was written by King Solomon a few thousand years ago.
Speaker 1:
37:16
And King Solomon said essentially this, it's in the book of Ecclesiastes, and it says, this is like chapter 7.
Speaker 1:
37:27
And it says that I have seen two evils in my life.
Speaker 1:
37:30
One is a foolish man living long in his foolishness, and a wise man dying young in his wisdom.
Speaker 1:
37:38
It is better that you hold on to the one without letting go of the other.
Speaker 1:
37:43
A man of God avoids all extremes.
Speaker 1:
37:48
And at 12, for some reason, that seemed like a good place to start and freak my parents out and everybody else, probably.
Speaker 1:
37:58
It turned out to be really a guiding force in my life, which my life has continued to scare my parents and the church at large, I think.
Speaker 1:
38:07
But there's an interesting reality of the two, isn't that what basically what it's describing is a loss of judgment on wisdom versus foolishness.
Speaker 1:
38:17
And the ability to hold both at once makes you God, gives you God force.
Speaker 1:
38:23
And so can you hold on to the systems that be?
Speaker 1:
38:26
and acknowledge that you probably have a board and the CEO or executive director reports to the board, has a bunch of fiscal and financial responsibilities, fiduciary, legal responsibilities, one to the next.
Speaker 1:
38:41
And so it's a hierarchical system, largely run probably by white males, and that system has held us in one expression of human creativity or productivity for a long period of time.
Speaker 1:
38:53
Then the other is this state of every single human being is going to complete itself.
Speaker 1:
38:57
Nobody needs a boss.
Speaker 1:
38:59
This is the future that Buckminster Fuller spoke of.
Speaker 1:
39:01
There is coming a time where there will be no employees.
Speaker 1:
39:06
everybody will be in their sovereign expression, and they will bring so much value to every single interaction that they will need no contract and they will need no employment
Speaker 1:
39:14
They will simply bring value, and that value will be held as reverent and ultimately sovereign in and of itself.
Speaker 1:
39:24
And that'll be enough.
Speaker 1:
39:25
And that will be the end of poverty.
Speaker 1:
39:26
That'll be the end of things.
Speaker 1:
39:27
He could see this new world.
Speaker 1:
39:30
And so what is it going to look like when we do the Buckminster Fuller thing?
Speaker 1:
39:34
And how are we going to get from our current reality to there?
Speaker 1:
39:37
We're going to have to do the God moment, the wise, foolish thing to hold them both.
Speaker 1:
39:43
Let's hold our wisdom without judgment.
Speaker 1:
39:46
our foolish lives, maybe, if you want to look at it that way.
Speaker 1:
39:48
And then the wisdom with a loose hand as well, where we don't come and just grip on to the new reality that doesn't exist here yet.
Speaker 1:
39:57
And damn everybody who's doing the other hierarchical, patriarchal things.
Speaker 1:
40:02
We're going to have to hold them both and stop saying one's conscious, one's not conscious, one's awake, one's not awake.
Speaker 1:
40:07
We're just going to have to realize it's
Speaker 1:
40:09
That's that's the cognitive dissonance that we're caught up in now.
Speaker 2:
40:22
That was a beautiful mirror from my own way of looking at it, so thank you.
Speaker 2:
40:27
My ego just died another time.
Speaker 1:
40:31
I'm only thirty seconds ahead of you.
Speaker 1:
40:33
I'll explain your next death to you in just a moment.
Speaker 2:
40:37
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
40:38
And it's important because this is how we also step by step have the conversations to break through these belief systems of how we think about how it should be.
Speaker 2:
40:46
And now it's like, oh, of course.
Speaker 2:
40:47
I was basically judging myself and now I'm shifting into more that feminine energy of realizing that we are all conscious but we just have a different perspective on it and if we can hold the whole container of humanity then
Speaker 2:
41:00
we can open our hearts and really connect on a deeper level.
Speaker 2:
41:03
And I know that you have a lot of experience also with regenerative leadership and regenerative business, which is in a way like
Speaker 2:
41:12
nature as a stakeholder?
Speaker 2:
41:14
Or obviously, like Patagonia has made Nature part of the board?
Speaker 2:
41:19
And like what's your perspective on bringing that into our companies or organizations?
Speaker 2:
41:26
nature itself as an entity or as an energy?
Speaker 2:
41:28
And how can we take it to the next level based on what has already been done before?
Speaker 1:
41:37
I mean, if you're in leadership right now, then you've basically volunteered to be compost because everything is about to die inside of you, and you're going to be put back in the soil very quickly.
Speaker 1:
41:49
So for me, and luckily for me I hired a bunch of activists who really like regenerative systems that were really eager to compost their CEO.
Speaker 1:
42:00
So happened in a very fast and powerful way for me.
Speaker 1:
42:05
But yeah, no, I I I definitely experienced this, that you know, the we spawn to living systems
Speaker 1:
42:14
matrix inside of the nonprofit Project Biome that I I helped spawn back in 2018-19.
Speaker 1:
42:24
A group of individuals came to kind of lead this new group, and we would do these immersive experiences.
Speaker 1:
42:32
It was supposed to be a three-year cohort.
Speaker 1:
42:34
where stakeholders across the food industry would get together and reimagine the food system within a completely living system matrix, losing its hierarchical structures, creating
Speaker 1:
42:47
more of a net a living network of relationships between earth, finance, product development, et cetera.
Speaker 1:
42:56
And within two years of that, the amount of intolerance of my presence, not even, I'd say six months of starting it.
Speaker 1:
43:04
It was intolerable, but I'm very persistent and I hung on for another year and a half.
Speaker 1:
43:09
Should have left immediately, but it had to that actually had to spin out of my organization because there was so much anger towards
Speaker 1:
43:18
the fact that there was a board of the nonprofit and an executive director, and me as kind of board chair was seen as this like Darth Vader that was coming down from the top.
Speaker 1:
43:32
And in many ways, I probably was.
Speaker 1:
43:34
Like I was behaving in such a way that I was carrying the mandate of the board with the board to follow out the mission of the organization.
Speaker 1:
43:41
And there started to be a departure of organizational mission and operational
Speaker 1:
43:47
Behavior.
Speaker 1:
43:48
And so at some point, there's a responsibility of the board to make that shift.
Speaker 1:
43:53
And that feels Darth Vader-esque when you're in this feminine flow and everything feels like
Speaker 1:
43:57
You know, you're in love with the planet, in love with everything, and how could there be a redirection of something that's so beautiful and shouldn't have anything controlling it?
Speaker 1:
44:08
And so I got composted out of that, and that organization is still running as a nonprofit.
Speaker 1:
44:14
And then that's happened again to my for-profit companies in the last year, ultimately leading to
Speaker 1:
44:21
I in fairness, I had been trying to step down as a CEO a long time because I'm not I'm not a CEO.
Speaker 1:
44:27
I'm just fundamentally not that guy who understands KPIs and ROIs and other things.
Speaker 1:
44:32
And I'm not good at managing people either.
Speaker 1:
44:35
And so there's nothing that would get me hired as a CEO.
Speaker 1:
44:38
You have to be a founder to end up as an incompetent CEO.
Speaker 1:
44:42
And so you you basically grow yourself into a position you should have never been in.
Speaker 1:
44:49
And so I had done that.
Speaker 1:
44:50
And so there was a lot of
Speaker 1:
44:52
appropriate frustration back towards me as a CEO.
Speaker 1:
44:58
The challenge that we have is is every single individual is so eager to outsource how they're feeling inside of themselves to somebody else.
Speaker 1:
45:07
And so I think I distracted the growth of many of the employees in the organization and all that because I was such an easy target.
Speaker 1:
45:14
They didn't realize that what they were really
Speaker 1:
45:17
feeling was a deep unrest inside themselves that had nothing to do with the fact that there was a board and a CEO at all.
Speaker 1:
45:24
It was that they are locked in relationships
Speaker 1:
45:26
Broadly speaking, in their marriages and their relationships to their kids and their communities that are inherently sucking the life force out of them.
Speaker 1:
45:34
And we have statistics to prove this is true.
Speaker 1:
45:38
It's absolutely draining the life force out of you.
Speaker 1:
45:41
And it's not too surprising that the people that were so vigorously rejecting the structures that were there and rejecting me and
Speaker 1:
45:52
actively trying to destroy my reputation or my character or whatever in the public were largely women.
Speaker 1:
45:59
And so that large con contingent there.
Speaker 1:
46:04
And it's because I was, or the organization was, any masculine system was sucking life force out of them in the same way that a marriage will suck it out of the woman, disparate to the male.
Speaker 1:
46:18
And so we create marriages not just between two individuals, but in companies, to employees as well.
Speaker 1:
46:24
And you don't have to be a woman to have your energy sucked out of you as an employee.
Speaker 1:
46:28
That's the fundamental agreement, basically, of a corporation, is you will sign up here, you'll put your life force into this thing, and then you'll either succeed or not succeed.
Speaker 1:
46:37
If we fail, then you'll be laid off when the company's failing.
Speaker 1:
46:42
And so I had to lay off 50 or it was even worse because I didn't actually get to lay them off because then I could have actually had a conversation with them.
Speaker 1:
46:52
But I got replaced and then saw 50 of the people that had built so much of what I dreamed of over five, six year period that they'd been working there.
Speaker 1:
47:03
laid off in a short period of si a few months.
Speaker 1:
47:06
And that is a tremendous amount of heartbreak to experience.
Speaker 1:
47:13
And so this is where we're at right now: we're sucking the energy out of the feminine within every male and female.
Speaker 1:
47:20
We're sucking the feminine out of ourselves.
Speaker 1:
47:23
To try to buoy up a wounded masculine that we all hold within ourselves as well.
Speaker 1:
47:28
So there's an opportunity here for us to upgrade all of that.
Speaker 1:
47:32
But again, we're going to have to
Speaker 1:
47:34
A, get the feminine out of servitude to the masculine, and then we're going to have to begin to trust the rebirth process that's going to emerge here, and the masculine can be restored.
Speaker 1:
47:47
And it will have to be in the mirror of the feminine.
Speaker 1:
47:50
And so the feminine is going to have to find a really difficult moment, and that she's going to have to forgive the masculine.
Speaker 1:
47:58
And there's no way I can justify that to you.
Speaker 1:
48:02
It's going to feel very injust that the feminine is going to have to forgive the masculine if we're going to move forward.
Speaker 1:
48:10
Because the I don't even have to go into all the horrors that the masculine has played out in every single one of us, male or female.
Speaker 1:
48:19
But the gender bias towards the masculine expression that we've been programmed with has had males in a very horrible expression of a deep, deep wound.
Speaker 1:
48:32
And I have absolutely no justification of my own behavior as a male, and I have absolutely no way to justify the collective male
Speaker 1:
48:41
behavior of the last five thousand years.
Speaker 1:
48:45
It's a horror that's difficult beyond difficult.
Speaker 1:
48:49
It's impossible to rationalize or hold.
Speaker 1:
48:56
About a year and a half ago, I had the opportunity to go to the border of Gaza and Israel.
Speaker 1:
49:07
That was begun in the house-to-house experience of the kibbutz that was attacked by
Speaker 1:
49:18
A presumed Palestinian force.
Speaker 1:
49:28
You really can't imagine what men are capable of doing.
Speaker 1:
49:32
Eighteen-year-old men, young men.
Speaker 1:
49:42
The amount of trauma that was recorded in those homes.
Speaker 1:
49:49
They hadn't begun cleaning anything up.
Speaker 1:
49:51
I actually don't think they've even begun today.
Speaker 1:
49:53
It's remained kind of under investigation to try to learn what exactly happened that day, October 7th, there.
Speaker 1:
50:06
There's tiny little handprints of children crawling through the blood of their mothers on the floor of many of those homes.
Speaker 1:
50:18
And there are mothers that were kidnapped after watching their children executed in front of them.
Speaker 1:
50:29
And for all that whore, going overhead was the most horrific sound that I've ever heard, which is the fire of Israeli tanks.
Speaker 1:
50:40
that we're firing fr from the complete safety of Israel into a completely undefended Gaza a full five months into
Speaker 1:
50:52
the journey from October seventh.
Speaker 1:
50:55
When these tanks fire, the percussion is so intense in the ground that it shakes the ground.
Speaker 1:
51:01
And that's startling, but it's a split second later you actually hear air tearing.
Speaker 1:
51:08
It's this most horrific
Speaker 1:
51:10
terrifying sound.
Speaker 1:
51:12
The munitions from these tanks actually are fired at a faster rate than any other tank in the world.
Speaker 1:
51:16
The Israeli tanks are a very
Speaker 1:
51:19
carefully guarded secret as to how they create this munition at the speed that it fires.
Speaker 1:
51:25
But it you can hear the air tearing.
Speaker 1:
51:28
And having you're standing in a room where you can see the horror of a couple of men with
Speaker 1:
51:36
handguns and machine guns and what they can do.
Speaker 1:
51:39
And then you're listening to a weapon that is beyond comprehension, pummelting a land for months after month after month into a complete genocide.
Speaker 1:
51:53
I don't know how the feminine is going to forgive the masculine.
Speaker 1:
51:57
It's going to be an ungodly event.
Speaker 1:
52:01
It's going to be it's the universe itself understanding itself that will be necessary for this forgiveness to come.
Speaker 1:
52:12
But if that will happen for a moment, if we will just forgive this level of horror for a moment.
Speaker 1:
52:21
The completion of the masculine, I think, could be instantaneous.
Speaker 1:
52:25
We could return to a birthright of humankind.
Speaker 1:
52:29
That was not designed to suck the energy out of a planet as a man will out of his wife.
Speaker 1:
52:37
It was a species that was a keystone species, one that would everywhere it set its foot give birth to more biodiversity, more intelligence, more beauty.
Speaker 1:
52:48
That's what the elephant does, it's what the lion does, it's what the beaver does.
Speaker 1:
52:52
Any keystone species has the term keystone species because everywhere it puts its paw, life breaks forth.
Speaker 1:
53:02
We're capable of that.
Speaker 1:
53:04
And I'm watching farmers around the world start to step into that right relationship with nature.
Speaker 1:
53:10
We call them biodynamic farmers, regen farmers.
Speaker 1:
53:14
We've got a lot of titles for them these days, New Korean Farming.
Speaker 1:
53:19
And they get to see life coming back so fast it doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 1:
53:26
There's a billion acres of farmland in the United States, one billion acres.
Speaker 1:
53:32
So far, less than one tenth of one percent is under regen organic measures.
Speaker 1:
53:39
But if one of these farmers in the middle of half a billion acres in the Midwest
Speaker 1:
53:44
starts to do the right thing and doesn't plow up the land in the fall and lets that soil rest and the mycelium begin to grow through the winter.
Speaker 1:
53:52
Don't plow or spray in the spring, but instead share the cover crop seeds in there and leave them set.
Speaker 1:
54:00
Buy that next spring, just one fall, one spring, there's more biodiversity on that land than has been there in three or four generations.
Speaker 1:
54:10
One fall, one winter, one spring.
Speaker 1:
54:14
The grace of the feminine is so freaking powerful.
Speaker 1:
54:18
And she comes trumpeting back at some extreme level of life and beauty.
Speaker 1:
54:27
And so we're just sitting here wondering if we will forgive each other for a moment and let that kind of beauty rage forth on this planet again.
Speaker 1:
54:35
I hope so.
Speaker 1:
54:47
He said to finish a positive note, so that's not done yet.
Speaker 1:
54:50
This thing is not over.
Speaker 2:
54:54
It's the silence between that speaks words, right?
Speaker 2:
55:01
I feel we can actually take a minute of silence to send our prayers to Gaza and all the people suffering.
Speaker 2:
55:08
If we can just all close our eyes for a moment.
Speaker 2:
55:12
And Israel.
Speaker 2:
55:13
And Israel.
Speaker 2:
56:02
Let's take one deep collective breath in together, breathing into the nose.
Speaker 2:
56:08
Out to the mouth.
Speaker 2:
56:13
Slowly open your eyes.
Speaker 2:
56:24
I also learned about harmony that
Speaker 2:
56:29
music is so beautiful because sometimes it has a bit of some dissonant notes, especially jazz music.
Speaker 2:
56:37
There are no mistakes in jazz, like Herbie Hancock said.
Speaker 2:
56:41
So how can we
Speaker 2:
56:43
play an end on a high note based on some of these dissonant notes we just went through in a way where you feel we can all
Speaker 2:
56:54
feel fully grounded in a new perspective of what we just went through together.
Speaker 1:
57:05
To get there, I'm going to share with you the most difficult thing I could possibly share with you now.
Speaker 1:
57:12
And it will get things better.
Speaker 1:
57:18
Very new experience in my life.
Speaker 1:
57:21
Many of us, all of us, have heard that there's a victim perpetrator
Speaker 1:
57:26
coin and it flips back and forth.
Speaker 1:
57:28
And many of us, maybe all of us, know that it's actually a three-sided scenario where there's a victim, a perpetrator and a savior.
Speaker 1:
57:37
And I can tell you very clearly after being there on that front line year and a half ago, that there is a Savior that's perpetuating the victim perpetrator, and it is the United States of America.
Speaker 1:
57:50
that country continues to cede conflict and then step in on the backside of the conflict to claim Savior.
Speaker 1:
57:57
And they've done it all over the world.
Speaker 1:
58:01
Meaning I've done it all over the world.
Speaker 1:
58:05
And so that's pretty easy to understand in general.
Speaker 1:
58:10
You got the victim and the perpetrator.
Speaker 1:
58:12
And if there was just those two, then it would destroy itself quite likely every generation.
Speaker 1:
58:16
There has to be the Savior so that it perpetuates and the coin has time to flip.
Speaker 1:
58:24
And so the victim and the perpetrator would destroy itself if it was just the polarity of the two.
Speaker 1:
58:30
If not for the Savior, it would not perpetuate.
Speaker 1:
58:32
So what is actually the biggest problem?
Speaker 1:
58:36
I think it's the identity of the Savior is the biggest problem we have going.
Speaker 1:
58:41
It would have eliminated itself already.
Speaker 1:
58:44
It's the Savior mentality of the human species that keeps us perpetuating the suffering.
Speaker 1:
58:50
It is not the perpetrator.
Speaker 1:
58:53
It is the savior.
Speaker 1:
58:56
Just sit with that for a second.
Speaker 1:
59:03
The Me Too movement felt so good for all of us, really.
Speaker 1:
59:07
To be able to call men out as the perpetrator, call it out, damn that thing.
Speaker 1:
59:16
I'd say the savior in that situation was what we could call neoliberalism or social groupthink.
Speaker 1:
59:26
And that perpetuates the victim-perpetrator again, instead of letting it die out in a single generation.
Speaker 1:
59:35
A very difficult lens for me to look through is this issue of is the savior the activist also.
Speaker 1:
59:43
Is the activist actually perpetuating the behavior of extractive mining companies and oil companies and sex trafficking and all of the other horrors that we're activating against?
Speaker 1:
59:55
Is that the Savior that's perpetuating the pattern?
Speaker 1:
59:59
That's hard.
Speaker 1:
01:00:02
But the fascinating thing that I've just recently experienced
Speaker 1:
01:00:07
And it wouldn't have happened if the feminine hadn't been so exhausted in dealing with the masculine constructs of my companies and nonprofits.
Speaker 1:
01:00:16
But I have literally poured my life out for women because I fucking love women.
Speaker 1:
01:00:22
I think they are amazing.
Speaker 1:
01:00:25
And I knew it the moment I saw a child born.
Speaker 1:
01:00:27
I was like, this
Speaker 1:
01:00:29
Requires all of my attention.
Speaker 1:
01:00:31
I need to put all my energy into supporting whatever that is because that is beyond ridiculous.
Speaker 1:
01:00:37
Another being just came out from beneath that woman's vagina.
Speaker 1:
01:00:40
Like, has anybody else seen this situation?
Speaker 1:
01:00:43
Is everybody aware of what's going on all over the world all of the time?
Speaker 1:
01:00:47
This is strange stuff afoot.
Speaker 1:
01:00:50
We should all support this thing because it's so mysterious.
Speaker 1:
01:00:55
And I have poured myself into relationships.
Speaker 1:
01:00:58
I've been married twice, and I have poured myself into my kids.
Speaker 1:
01:01:02
I've poured myself into relationships again and again, and I have probably overemphasized.
Speaker 1:
01:01:07
the support of the woman or the feminine to its own detriment, because I was trying to be a savior and perpetuating a whole pattern of the wounded masculine, copying itself in the savior mentality.
Speaker 1:
01:01:21
And this most recent, just intense attack from the people that I really did love the most in my companies coming after me as clearly the perpetrator now.
Speaker 1:
01:01:31
I am the perpetrator now.
Speaker 1:
01:01:34
And really finally embodying that only in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1:
01:01:38
I was in fire ceremony in South Africa on my first morning there, and I had woke up with this lucid dream that was so potent.
Speaker 1:
01:01:47
And it was an amazing dream in which I was watching my entire workforce that had ever worked for me come into what looked like a quarterly meeting in
Speaker 1:
01:01:58
a nondescript business park, nothing I'd seen in this lifetime before, but it was like your generic business park.
Speaker 1:
01:02:05
And I drove in, walked through some trees to get to the building, walked in.
Speaker 1:
01:02:11
Usual drop ceiling, fluorescent lighting, all the boring stuff of a business park, and they were all there.
Speaker 1:
01:02:17
And I went through a little scenario of like the last 15 years, how we got there as companies and nonprofits and the whole story.
Speaker 1:
01:02:23
And then we took a little break.
Speaker 1:
01:02:25
And after the break, I was going to come in and be like, and here's what's happened the last six months and how come we all got laid off and what happened and really kind of justify the whole situation or bring truth light to it.
Speaker 1:
01:02:36
So we come back after the break and I start to talk and spontaneously the whole group stands up and walks out.
Speaker 1:
01:02:44
And there's an immediate knowing in me that during the break they had all talked together and agreed they would just
Speaker 1:
01:02:49
walk out on me ha midway through one of the first sentences.
Speaker 1:
01:02:54
It was a dramatic kind of experience in the dream, but the most surprising thing on it, there was no emotions from them.
Speaker 1:
01:03:01
They simply turned their back and walked.
Speaker 1:
01:03:04
And there was no emotions in me experiencing it.
Speaker 1:
01:03:06
I was just realizing they're done, they're leaving.
Speaker 1:
01:03:11
And now I'm alone.
Speaker 1:
01:03:13
And I bend down and I pick up my backpack.
Speaker 1:
01:03:16
And I remember the weight of the backpack and everything.
Speaker 1:
01:03:18
Like when you have a lucid dream, it's more real than your life.
Speaker 1:
01:03:21
And so I throw the backpack on over one shoulder and walk out.
Speaker 1:
01:03:26
Through those trees back to this white car, and I get in and drive off, and then the wake up from the dream and look at the clock and realize I had slept through my alarm.
Speaker 1:
01:03:36
I'd taken a red iron, all this, and so I'd slept through my alarm.
Speaker 1:
01:03:39
I was supposed to be at fire ceremony at 10 a.
Speaker 1:
01:03:41
It was 9:58.
Speaker 1:
01:03:43
And so I go straight from lucid dream to, oh, geez, I got to get there.
Speaker 1:
01:03:47
Text them real quick.
Speaker 1:
01:03:48
I'm running a few minutes late, jumped the shower, running through.
Speaker 1:
01:03:51
No conscious thought from that lucid dream.
Speaker 1:
01:03:54
to rushing across the the little farm campus to get to the and this woman I had never met before there's a group of three of them, but one woman I had never met before says to me, Do you know what the moon is today?
Speaker 1:
01:04:07
I said, no.
Speaker 1:
01:04:08
And she said, it's the new moon in Leo.
Speaker 1:
01:04:12
The white lions were the ones that introduced me to Africa four years ago.
Speaker 1:
01:04:17
This is a new moon in Leo, and this particular moon is called the pardoned moon.
Speaker 1:
01:04:22
It is the moon of forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:04:24
And that was the second thought that I had after this lucid dream.
Speaker 1:
01:04:28
And what I had experienced is an entire workforce coming to a moment of being done, never wanting to hear another word from me or justification about anything.
Speaker 1:
01:04:37
But it was done.
Speaker 1:
01:04:38
And there must have been forgiveness because there was no
Speaker 1:
01:04:41
emotions in it.
Speaker 1:
01:04:42
There was just a simple end point and a new beginning.
Speaker 1:
01:04:46
And so I went through that fer fire ceremony and I was racked with crying within five minutes because I fully embodied the perpetrator finally.
Speaker 1:
01:04:56
And I realize that it is what all of these women have been screaming at me, including my ex-wives, maybe, is like you're the perpetrator.
Speaker 1:
01:05:05
And until you own that.
Speaker 1:
01:05:08
It doesn't matter what behavior you are, it doesn't matter how good you are as a husband, it doesn't matter how relentlessly monogamous you are, and all the things that you love talking about how good you are, until you own what this feels like.
Speaker 1:
01:05:21
You won't even understand what the problem is.
Speaker 1:
01:05:24
And so I just walked right into it in that fire ceremony and I embodied the perpetrator in that moment.
Speaker 1:
01:05:29
Felt it so deep and on every single cell, and was utterly shocked and amazed that it felt just like being the victim.
Speaker 1:
01:05:37
And it felt just like being the savior.
Speaker 1:
01:05:40
And I had been so afraid to become the perpetrator and be the perpetrator my whole life that I wasn't wanting to be, and then suddenly realized it's the same freaking channel.
Speaker 1:
01:05:51
It's not just the same coin with three sides.
Speaker 1:
01:05:54
It's literally the same thing playing itself out in a Trinity.
Speaker 1:
01:06:02
This is the trinity of the human condition.
Speaker 1:
01:06:05
Savior, perpetrator, victim.
Speaker 1:
01:06:09
Neither any of them would exist without the other two.
Speaker 1:
01:06:14
There is no perpetrators if there's no victim, it's possible.
Speaker 1:
01:06:17
There is no victim or perpetrator without the Savior.
Speaker 1:
01:06:20
It's impossible.
Speaker 1:
01:06:21
It is a Trinity that exists only as a whole thing.
Speaker 1:
01:06:28
This is a really exciting moment.
Speaker 1:
01:06:31
Because as soon as I saw and felt that, I realized my fallacy of my entire 52 years previous.
Speaker 1:
01:06:39
Was I was so busy trying to create polarity to balance out all of the perpetrator of the masculine.
Speaker 1:
01:06:46
And I was trying to be the polarity of that without being the victim.
Speaker 1:
01:06:50
So then I was the savior.
Speaker 1:
01:06:51
So then I was the problem perpetuating things.
Speaker 1:
01:06:54
Then I'm realizing I didn't want to be the savior.
Speaker 1:
01:06:56
Maybe I should be the victim.
Speaker 1:
01:06:57
And so I'll do a little victim thing like, well, everybody hates me in my companies, and poor me, because I'm the CEO that everybody despises, and poor me.
Speaker 1:
01:07:05
Is projecting all of their wounded masculine on me.
Speaker 1:
01:07:08
I'm very good at doing that whole victim bullshit.
Speaker 1:
01:07:11
And can come over here.
Speaker 1:
01:07:12
Well, I'm actually perpetrator now.
Speaker 1:
01:07:14
I'm going to just fire some people because that feels good and vindicate myself.
Speaker 1:
01:07:20
I was trying to create polarity to the one thing inside of the one thing.
Speaker 1:
01:07:26
It was an impossible game.
Speaker 1:
01:07:28
And as soon as I could see the whole thing as a single one thing, then I suddenly felt what it felt like to create polarity to that one thing.
Speaker 1:
01:07:35
And that's the new humanity.
Speaker 1:
01:07:38
We're about to create polarity to the victim, perpetrator, savior thing.
Speaker 1:
01:07:43
And we will lose judgment on all three because we understand it as a single trinity that is so well balanced that it is a phenomenon of nature itself.
Speaker 1:
01:07:52
And when we lose judgment on that Trinity, we'll step into polarity with the entire human condition and the masculine will be completely forgiven.
Speaker 1:
01:08:01
And we will step into a completely different relationship with self.
Speaker 1:
01:08:05
And suddenly, I will forgive the masculine within me, and the feminine will be able to bond to it, and I will complete myself, and I will be the most beautiful being that I intended to be.
Speaker 1:
01:08:14
And I will never drag anything out of anybody.
Speaker 1:
01:08:18
I'll never drain anybody of anything again, which is what the A Course in Miracles says, that is the only way humans interact is through special relationship.
Speaker 1:
01:08:26
Special relationship is the condition in which you'll look to another person and see a trait that you don't think you can get from source.
Speaker 1:
01:08:32
And you'll bond to that trait until you've drained it out of them, and then you'll leave.
Speaker 1:
01:08:38
That's the Course in Miracles description of every single human relationship.
Speaker 1:
01:08:42
It's kind of intense.
Speaker 1:
01:08:44
And it says that there's a coming a time soon where we will do holy relationship.
Speaker 1:
01:08:49
And the masculine feminine will complete within each individual.
Speaker 1:
01:08:52
And it's only going to take two people doing that experience before the whole universe shifts.
Speaker 1:
01:08:57
Because if two humans actually complete themselves and the ego drops, the ego is the thing splitting the mind, so we cannot complete.
Speaker 1:
01:09:05
When we have ego death and we allow the masculine and feminine to completely come into unity because there's forgiveness from the feminine within us to the masculine within us.
Speaker 1:
01:09:17
Then somebody's going to be able to see the other person.
Speaker 1:
01:09:19
And at the moment a human being gets to see the other being, there will be so much unconditional love generated because of the amount of beauty witnessed.
Speaker 1:
01:09:26
That it will change not the earth, not humanity.
Speaker 1:
01:09:28
It will change the entire universe instantaneously.
Speaker 1:
01:09:31
That's the promise of the Course Miracles.
Speaker 1:
01:09:34
So I saw that, I was like, oh, I'm all in.
Speaker 1:
01:09:39
This is amazing.
Speaker 1:
01:09:43
Went home to my wife and was like, we're going to do this thing.
Speaker 1:
01:09:48
It is going to be amazing.
Speaker 1:
01:09:51
You're gonna have to cut me loose, and I'm gonna have to go on some wandering trail of finding my masculine feminine.
Speaker 1:
01:09:56
I'm gonna fuck it up.
Speaker 1:
01:09:57
I'm just gonna go after it so big.
Speaker 1:
01:10:00
Are you ready?
Speaker 1:
01:10:01
And she's like, No.
Speaker 1:
01:10:06
Three months I tried to do pep talk of like it could be really good.
Speaker 1:
01:10:09
We do this from Anglo and I'm very persistent like once I get a thing in my head I'm just beyond intolerable and so
Speaker 1:
01:10:18
She finally comes to a moment of clarity that this intolerable human being is not hearing her at all.
Speaker 1:
01:10:23
And she says, I want to point out a sentence that you're not paying attention to.
Speaker 1:
01:10:28
And it says right here, no human being has ever been able to do this before.
Speaker 1:
01:10:32
I'm not interested.
Speaker 1:
01:10:34
It says it's impossible.
Speaker 1:
01:10:35
I don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to do the impossible thing and only you would decide that's what you're going to dedicate your life to is the one thing that's never been done.
Speaker 1:
01:10:45
And so we beautifully let go of each other, actually.
Speaker 1:
01:10:48
It was actually a really amazing experience.
Speaker 1:
01:10:50
And we both launched into a version of that.
Speaker 1:
01:10:53
Holy relationship, too, where you actually find deep forgiveness for yourself in the dissolution of vows and the dissolution of promises.
Speaker 1:
01:11:03
And in that journey, I found out there's no fucking thing as heartbreak.
Speaker 1:
01:11:08
I'm going to repeat that there's actually no such thing as heartbreak.
Speaker 1:
01:11:13
Because actually, that is a container and a vehicle and a technology that cannot be broken.
Speaker 1:
01:11:18
And it never has been by all the horrors humans have never played out, that thing still works.
Speaker 1:
01:11:24
It is unbreakable.
Speaker 1:
01:11:26
The human heart is unbreakable.
Speaker 1:
01:11:29
What you're feeling when you go through the experience of heartbreak is the shattering of expectations.
Speaker 1:
01:11:36
And that's it.
Speaker 1:
01:11:39
That's it.
Speaker 1:
01:11:41
Feel that for a moment.
Speaker 1:
01:11:44
All of your cumulative heartbreak was just the shattering of expectations.
Speaker 1:
01:11:49
which is another way of saying the shattering of a false reality.
Speaker 1:
01:11:54
The only reason you ever felt any of that is because you believed in something other than the reality.
Speaker 1:
01:12:02
Well, then it gets really easy to get over heartbreak.
Speaker 1:
01:12:05
And it does, like, it's over in an instant.
Speaker 1:
01:12:07
If you think of your collective ache and what you walked in here today, because you all were carrying heartbreak.
Speaker 1:
01:12:12
Just acknowledge, well, that was my stupid self, believing in something that doesn't exist and then holding everybody accountable to the thing that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1:
01:12:21
And then feeling so much disappointment and so much quote unquote heartbreak because nobody was reading my playbook of expectations.
Speaker 1:
01:12:30
Disney's made a thousand movies.
Speaker 1:
01:12:32
I don't know why people don't know my expectations here.
Speaker 1:
01:12:34
It's showing you the expectations.
Speaker 1:
01:12:38
And so there's something beautiful afoot in humankind right now as if we will do a moment of forgiveness to the perpetrator and a bigger moment of forgiveness to the Savior who perpetuates the pattern.
Speaker 1:
01:12:50
and realize we can become the polarity to that whole thing.
Speaker 1:
01:12:54
Then we become the new human that can drop the ego, which was only built because we were afraid we were victim, perpetrator, or savior.
Speaker 1:
01:13:03
And we've dropped that ego for a moment.
Speaker 1:
01:13:05
We don't need plant medicine because now we've become the human medicine.
Speaker 1:
01:13:09
And the medicine travels through the frequency at the sound of and speed of forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:13:15
That's our medicine, is forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:13:18
And I think it's why we're here.
Speaker 1:
01:13:21
Because this universe
Speaker 1:
01:13:23
Is extremely balanced.
Speaker 1:
01:13:26
Every soul has to be extremely balanced between forces of light and dark, or else it wouldn't exist.
Speaker 1:
01:13:33
So the universe is 50-50 split down the center of dark and light, and has no judgment either, because the whole thing exists only because there's both, an equal sum.
Speaker 1:
01:13:46
But then there's this one strange little species on a far-flung little planet that's doing something different than any of the rest of the cosmos.
Speaker 1:
01:13:58
In a weird schism of nature, in a weird moment of collision of perfect factors, one species came to believe itself separate from everything.
Speaker 1:
01:14:11
And that species was endowed with a technology that we call a human mind, and a second one called a human heart.
Speaker 1:
01:14:22
And both are able to understand the constructs of its behavior when it believed itself to be rejected and separate.
Speaker 1:
01:14:30
It can understand that.
Speaker 1:
01:14:32
And in so doing, it can trigger the second tool.
Speaker 1:
01:14:35
And come up with a force of nature called forgiveness that is not known anywhere else in the cosmos, because everything else is in its pure frequency.
Speaker 1:
01:14:45
An elephant never has to forgive a lion.
Speaker 1:
01:14:48
No.
Speaker 1:
01:14:49
No, it's simply a lion and an elephant, and they're perfect.
Speaker 1:
01:14:54
The antelope that's taken down by the lion never forgives the lion.
Speaker 1:
01:14:58
It's ascending immediately through the bloodstream of the lion back to source through its own choice.
Speaker 1:
01:15:05
That's why we call it predator and prey.
Speaker 1:
01:15:08
One of the two is praying, praying itself back to source.
Speaker 1:
01:15:14
And so we are the only species, perhaps, that can actually tip sorrow to joy.
Speaker 1:
01:15:26
Hatred to unconditional love, both through the technology of forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:15:34
And if that's true.
Speaker 1:
01:15:37
And we can be born into lives of pure suffering and experience the most deep shattering of expectations and hopes and dreams, to suffer greatly.
Speaker 1:
01:15:49
Wouldn't we sign up to do that as souls so eagerly if we knew that the game was that one place in the universe you could take sorrow into joy?
Speaker 1:
01:15:59
pain into unconditional love.
Speaker 1:
01:16:02
Wouldn't a billion souls or ten billion rush to be a part of that game?
Speaker 1:
01:16:07
Wouldn't they want to embody as much sorrow and pain as possible so that as much of that as possible could be transmuted on a single planet into light?
Speaker 1:
01:16:17
Because in so doing, it might just tip that 50-50 split to a 50.
Speaker 1:
01:16:21
0001% light.
Speaker 1:
01:16:25
And strangely, we might be prepared to tip the behavior of an entire universe into a brighter version of itself.
Speaker 1:
01:16:33
I think we're human on purpose.
Speaker 1:
01:16:36
Nothing that a human experiences is outside of nature.
Speaker 1:
01:16:40
Nothing that a human does is outside of nature.
Speaker 1:
01:16:42
So nature has created a very strange phenomena with humans, which might be sitting there as the pinpoint pressure to change an entire universe.
Speaker 1:
01:16:53
And so lose the judgment right now on yourself, on everything you've ever created, relationships, companies, or anything else, and become the polarity to the trinity of suffering.
Speaker 1:
01:17:04
So that you can transmute something at the speed of forgiveness into a little bit of light, and then you'll be a leader of the next humanity.
Speaker 2:
01:17:24
That's pretty much a high note, yeah, for now.
Speaker 2:
01:17:27
Thank you.
Speaker 2:
01:17:29
So I would love to welcome Julia.
Speaker 2:
01:17:31
So we're going to transition to Q and A with the audience.
Speaker 2:
01:17:33
So if you have any questions for Zach, we have about thirty minutes for it.
Speaker 2:
01:17:38
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1:
01:17:39
Thank you, Mark.
Speaker 1:
01:17:40
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1:
01:17:41
Thank you all for coming out, by the way.
Speaker 1:
01:17:42
Really an honor to be with you tonight.
Speaker 1:
01:17:44
Thank you for the collective that's here.
Speaker 1:
01:17:46
Powerful group of humans in a great constellation.
Speaker 1:
01:17:50
Thank you for being here.
Speaker 1:
01:17:52
Yeah, brother.
Speaker 3:
01:17:53
Thank you for that beautiful ending.
Speaker 3:
01:17:56
I have a question.
Speaker 3:
01:17:57
In the beginning, you mentioned that the why chromosome is missing
Speaker 3:
01:18:04
25% of its total information, right?
Speaker 3:
01:18:07
Since about 7,000 years ago.
Speaker 3:
01:18:10
If you believe all that, you're crazy.
Speaker 3:
01:18:11
But yes, that's what I said.
Speaker 3:
01:18:12
Okay.
Speaker 3:
01:18:13
I was just wondering, is there a theory on how that happened?
Speaker 1:
01:18:19
So, all of this has come through experiential moments for me because there's absolutely nothing no
Speaker 1:
01:18:25
theory on any of it really.
Speaker 1:
01:18:27
And so I haven't said anything tonight or any other time in the last few years that I haven't personally experienced.
Speaker 1:
01:18:33
And so
Speaker 1:
01:18:34
whether my experience is valid to you or the human story, I that's anybody else's, you know, that's God's decision on how that plays out.
Speaker 1:
01:18:43
But I've directly experienced these things usually through ceremony historically, but what I've been finding the last two, three years is the most profound experiential things are actually happening without any pursuit at all.
Speaker 1:
01:18:58
And my best moments have come just recently when I'm sitting alone, just made myself a cup of tea, sat down in the first morning light, and I'm just bliss with a big dog sitting on my feet.
Speaker 1:
01:19:13
And just feeling just how good it feels to have the fur of a Labrador retriever on your feet barefoot.
Speaker 1:
01:19:19
Like just that's an exquisite sensation.
Speaker 1:
01:19:21
And then
Speaker 1:
01:19:22
Bergamont is like my plant medicine of choice.
Speaker 1:
01:19:25
Like an Eural Gray is oof in the morning, that stuff is amazing intoxication.
Speaker 1:
01:19:31
And then suddenly these experiences come through and memory comes back.
Speaker 1:
01:19:36
And so in these things that again feel more real than anything I've been taught or seen in one of these moments
Speaker 1:
01:19:44
There was an experience of something that happened in that window of time 5,07,000 years ago.
Speaker 1:
01:19:52
And it looked like maybe what we would imagine a nuclear holocaust being, but there was a massive energy discharge on the planet.
Speaker 1:
01:19:59
And it could have been natural phenomena, it could have been huge solar flares.
Speaker 1:
01:20:04
Or it could have been just a full out war, which I think is more likely that it would have favored the masculine if we had degenerated as a masculine wounded kind of system, perhaps already on some level, and then we did this massive deep wound.
Speaker 1:
01:20:18
So the abandonment of nature dates way back.
Speaker 1:
01:20:21
But then this wounded masculine thing actually emerges as a concept only with the the rise of the Judeo-Christian
Speaker 1:
01:20:28
kind of history there.
Speaker 1:
01:20:29
And so it's in the story of Adam and Eve and all of these things.
Speaker 1:
01:20:32
And the deeper histories of the Kabbalah are very fascinating in there.
Speaker 1:
01:20:37
and play into this as well.
Speaker 1:
01:20:38
So experientially, it looked like this massive discharge of energy on the planet, and there was a massive genetic injury that happened.
Speaker 1:
01:20:47
this is you know, there's many things that could be repeating this pattern soon.
Speaker 1:
01:20:52
And so there's going to be a big transition of our genetics on this planet very soon.
Speaker 1:
01:20:57
And again, it could be a natural phenomenon.
Speaker 1:
01:21:00
The North and South Pole are about to switch completely on the planet, and it hasn't been 700,000 years since that's happened.
Speaker 1:
01:21:08
Our version of Homo sapiens has been around maybe 300,000 years.
Speaker 1:
01:21:11
We haven't seen that change happen yet.
Speaker 1:
01:21:13
So it's going to be so dramatic when that electromagnetic field happens, is my guess, that we can't guess at what happens to our biology.
Speaker 1:
01:21:20
But it does make sense to me that if we have been downloading the Heart of Darkness onto this planet to play out this story of let's concentrate as much sorrow and pain onto a single planet so that this
Speaker 1:
01:21:30
Unique species can transmute that the.
Speaker 1:
01:21:32
The transmutation would happen at the moment that the planet reversed its polarity.
Speaker 1:
01:21:37
And says Mother Gaia been holding her magnetic field in preparation for that because it's supposed to swap every 200,000 years.
Speaker 1:
01:21:44
And she's been holding the same magnetic field for 700,000 years.
Speaker 1:
01:21:48
So she took a pause in transformation, waiting for a moment in time.
Speaker 1:
01:21:54
Was the pause long enough to be in the current polarity to download an extra amount of darkness and sorrow into a species?
Speaker 1:
01:22:03
possible.
Speaker 1:
01:22:04
And at the same time, she's been holding her breath by inventing a species that would destroy her entire lung surface.
Speaker 1:
01:22:11
And so she has severe emphysema right now through the death of topsoils, which are her respiratory platform.
Speaker 1:
01:22:17
It's not trees.
Speaker 1:
01:22:18
Trees are the kidneys of the planet.
Speaker 1:
01:22:20
And so we have a big misperception on trees right now.
Speaker 1:
01:22:23
But the the real lungs of the planet are soil systems imbued with grasslands.
Speaker 1:
01:22:28
And so it's grasslands and soil systems that really breathe.
Speaker 1:
01:22:31
And we've denuded ninety seven percent of the global soils now.
Speaker 1:
01:22:35
And so she's that running on three percent lung.
Speaker 1:
01:22:38
And so we have this accumulation of CO two in the atmosphere not because of cow farts, but because she's just holding her breath.
Speaker 1:
01:22:46
And so it's really
Speaker 1:
01:22:49
An interesting thing where we always point at the symptom and say that's the problem.
Speaker 1:
01:22:53
CO2 in the atmosphere is the problem.
Speaker 1:
01:22:54
No, she's just not breathing.
Speaker 1:
01:22:56
And so why would she hold her magnetic field to download the heart of darkness and then hold her breath until the planet gets toxic?
Speaker 1:
01:23:03
so that she can do the biggest reversal she's ever done.
Speaker 1:
01:23:07
We're going to go through the biggest transformation this planet's ever gone through, is my guess.
Speaker 1:
01:23:11
And so we have no idea what the oceans are going to look like.
Speaker 1:
01:23:14
So when people say there's going to be a two meter sea level rise, like
Speaker 1:
01:23:17
If you're freaking lucky.
Speaker 1:
01:23:19
Like it could be forty meters.
Speaker 1:
01:23:21
I mean, it could be such an insane shift.
Speaker 1:
01:23:23
Or absolutely nothing happens to the oceans because the under
Speaker 1:
01:23:27
Ground ocean absorbs all of that.
Speaker 1:
01:23:29
We just found that ocean just a year ago is three times larger than the entire surface ocean of the world, is 700 kilometers underneath the surface of the earth, saltwater down there.
Speaker 1:
01:23:39
Well, that's new news.
Speaker 1:
01:23:40
Like we don't know how that works.
Speaker 1:
01:23:42
And so we have no clue on how she's going to do this rebirth, but it does make sense to me that we will bring ourselves to our biologic knees at the same moment that she goes and reverses the polarity.
Speaker 1:
01:23:54
And so we went from obesity to diabetes to allergy to autoimmunity to neurologic dysfunction to cancer to infertility to gender loss.
Speaker 1:
01:24:05
That's the declining metabolism of a species in a planet.
Speaker 1:
01:24:09
So we did that in a thirty-five-year period.
Speaker 1:
01:24:12
And so it makes sense that at the point of gender dissolution, the polarity would shift and the new everything begins.
Speaker 1:
01:24:19
hold so much grace for one another and hope so greatly for something unimaginable to break forth.
Speaker 1:
01:24:28
The cool thing is, we can't even build expectations around what's about to happen.
Speaker 1:
01:24:32
So, we can't have any heartbreak.
Speaker 1:
01:24:34
It's just going to be phenomenal.
Speaker 4:
01:24:37
Yeah, thank you very much for the talk.
Speaker 4:
01:24:38
I was wondering in the beginning of your speech you stated, indeed, I wholeheartedly agree with it, where has all this beautiful architecture been in the past decades?
Speaker 4:
01:24:47
I mean, where indeed is Da Vinci?
Speaker 4:
01:24:48
Where is
Speaker 4:
01:24:49
Beethoven or Aberham Kalber um in this case.
Speaker 4:
01:24:54
Um and shortly thereafter you stated that uh maybe or we have been coming more addicted to pain as a act of becoming more present, thereby implying also the
Speaker 4:
01:25:04
reduction or decrease of our amper.
Speaker 4:
01:25:08
So my I have two questions.
Speaker 4:
01:25:10
Why do you what has happened in our society the past centuries that we have become more addicted to pain?
Speaker 4:
01:25:16
And secondly, why do we use pain as an act of presence?
Speaker 1:
01:25:21
So the first one was why is there an increasing amount of pain that would be decreasing our aperture?
Speaker 1:
01:25:27
So we went from building Gothic
Speaker 1:
01:25:30
you know, skyscraping cathedrals to the churches of today in the United States, which are like center block buildings with drywall drop ceilings and fluorescent lighting that poisons your brain.
Speaker 1:
01:25:42
Small decrement in design for the glory of God.
Speaker 1:
01:25:45
It needs to be represented.
Speaker 1:
01:25:48
Once again, to answer this question as if I know what I'm talking about would be foolish.
Speaker 1:
01:25:52
So I have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 1:
01:25:54
And I'll answer the question.
Speaker 1:
01:25:56
And so, I believe that what's happening is for the same reason that the chaos is increasing on the planet, it has to increase in all of her creatures as well.
Speaker 1:
01:26:06
And so, all creatures on the planet are experiencing an increasing amount of.
Speaker 1:
01:26:10
Entropy or chaos over the last few hundred years.
Speaker 1:
01:26:15
Over the last hundred years, or even shorter period, like 70 years, we've seen a 10,000-fold increase in extinction rates of all species on the planet.
Speaker 1:
01:26:24
And the North and South Poles started moving the same year that I was born.
Speaker 1:
01:26:30
I don't think I caused that actually.
Speaker 1:
01:26:32
It was just like correlation, not causation there.
Speaker 1:
01:26:35
But it is interesting that at a moment when my hippie parents were being told it was the dawning of Aquarius, suddenly the North Pole started moving.
Speaker 1:
01:26:44
And that North Pole used to, when I was born, favored North America.
Speaker 1:
01:26:47
And so you remember there's like the spinning axis of the earth, which is north-south.
Speaker 1:
01:26:52
Literally, and then there's the magnetic pole, which is when I was born 13 degrees off of it, favoring the United States.
Speaker 1:
01:26:59
Energetically, that's kind of interesting because the U.
Speaker 1:
01:27:01
S.
Speaker 1:
01:27:02
has gone through this massive explosion of power on the planet.
Speaker 1:
01:27:05
it started moving across the that and is now favoring Siberia and the east coast of Africa.
Speaker 1:
01:27:14
which is also interesting when you start to look at the patterns of wealth accumulating in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and seeing the amount of unrest and shift happening along that golden meridian of the East Coast of Africa.
Speaker 1:
01:27:28
These things lead to human behavioral patterns that are at the macro scale.
Speaker 1:
01:27:32
And so the reason why there's more pain in humanity is the same reason that there's chaos in the electromagnetic field.
Speaker 1:
01:27:40
between when the when the poles are are consistently stable when north is north pole and south is south pole magnetically
Speaker 1:
01:27:48
Maybe you remember doing this in grade school where you like threw a magnet down in the iron filings and then suddenly the iron filings all organize themselves into these beautiful orbits, you know, that
Speaker 1:
01:27:58
Suddenly spanned way outside of the magnet.
Speaker 1:
01:28:02
The Earth has those, and they're called the Van Allen belts.
Speaker 1:
01:28:04
And that's what protects us from solar flares and energy as we're traveling at extreme rates of speed through the cosmos.
Speaker 1:
01:28:11
So, the Van Allen belts are these beautiful belts and bands of energy that the electromagnetic field is generating for north-south pole.
Speaker 1:
01:28:18
And then suddenly, when you're going into a pole shift,
Speaker 1:
01:28:22
That whole Van Allen Belt thing becomes very chaotic, and there's not an organized north and south.
Speaker 1:
01:28:27
You can have south, south, north, north, north, south, south, nor
Speaker 1:
01:28:31
All over the place on the planet as you're going through a pole shift, which increases the friction and disparity of energies on the planet
Speaker 1:
01:28:37
And so it's very likely that humans are playing out.
Speaker 1:
01:28:40
Again, we are not separate from nature, we are playing out a human version of the chaos of an Earth that's going through a massive transition of her energy field.
Speaker 1:
01:28:48
And so pain is inevitable because the frequencies of energy of the earth are generating massive amounts of friction in the electromagnetic field right now.
Speaker 1:
01:28:57
And so that's quite possible.
Speaker 1:
01:28:59
And I like doing that analysis because it helps us get out of our anthropocentric thing of like, well, obviously everything humans are doing is causing the pain.
Speaker 1:
01:29:07
Well, we're that's not actually true either.
Speaker 1:
01:29:11
And the ancient science of Chinese philosophy all the way to the Kabbalah is telling us there is no such thing as human free will.
Speaker 1:
01:29:24
But that humans are very unique in that they get to choose how they feel on the journey.
Speaker 1:
01:29:32
Again, I want to repeat that humans are unique because they get to choose how they're going to feel on the journey.
Speaker 1:
01:29:39
The elephant never changes, doesn't get to vote on how it's going to feel today about elephant.
Speaker 1:
01:29:44
It's just like, I'm freaking elephant, and I am still elephant, and that is rad.
Speaker 1:
01:29:49
And I am an oak tree, and I was an oak tree yesterday.
Speaker 1:
01:29:53
And at no point in my existence did I feel inferior to the birch tree.
Speaker 1:
01:29:56
I just am oak.
Speaker 1:
01:29:58
And so everything else doesn't get to choose insecurity and I'm not enough and I'm afraid of the forest.
Speaker 1:
01:30:05
And no, everything is freaking fine all of the time.
Speaker 1:
01:30:09
Except for these humans that get to choose how they're going to feel about the journey.
Speaker 1:
01:30:13
Why would we be given free license to feel differently about the journey depending on our mood?
Speaker 1:
01:30:19
That's a phenomenally interesting thing that I think points right back to we might be the only technology in the universe that could tip dark to light.
Speaker 1:
01:30:27
And so that's maybe why the pain why do we use pain to become present?
Speaker 1:
01:30:32
Because we have no tools in the mind or the heart to become present.
Speaker 1:
01:30:36
If you are living in your heart space, you have no idea how to become present.
Speaker 1:
01:30:40
I lived there for the last 15 years.
Speaker 1:
01:30:42
I created companies there.
Speaker 1:
01:30:44
I tried to run relationships from there.
Speaker 1:
01:30:46
I ran marriages from there.
Speaker 1:
01:30:48
I ran parenting from there.
Speaker 1:
01:30:51
And I was in my beautiful Savior mode.
Speaker 1:
01:30:54
My God, look at the amount of love I'm pouring into everybody.
Speaker 1:
01:30:57
On every podcast, I'm just overwhelmed by my amount of
Speaker 1:
01:31:01
Beauty that I can channel.
Speaker 1:
01:31:02
It's just so wonderful.
Speaker 1:
01:31:03
I am fucked in the head for doing any of that because I was in my heart.
Speaker 1:
01:31:10
It is a disaster of a place to be, and you cannot be present when you are being.
Speaker 1:
01:31:14
You're literally trying to exist in a torrent of energy from source to everything it's created.
Speaker 1:
01:31:19
How could you possibly be present?
Speaker 1:
01:31:21
you're spending so much energies trying to swim upstream of this current of emotion and feeling that's rushing around you that you can't get any sense of
Speaker 1:
01:31:30
Stability at all.
Speaker 1:
01:31:31
You do not feel loved.
Speaker 1:
01:31:32
You do not feel heard.
Speaker 1:
01:31:33
You do not feel seen.
Speaker 1:
01:31:35
The people you're trying to love can't receive any love from you and think that you're rejecting them.
Speaker 1:
01:31:38
You're like, for God's sake, I wake up every morning and try to love you more.
Speaker 1:
01:31:41
They're like, no, you're not loving me at all.
Speaker 1:
01:31:43
You're just a pain in the ass, and you're not doing enough.
Speaker 1:
01:31:45
And the things like, this is a disaster.
Speaker 1:
01:31:49
I'm so exhausted.
Speaker 1:
01:31:51
And so I start to hit my head on the wall.
Speaker 1:
01:31:54
And suddenly that pain brings me present.
Speaker 1:
01:31:58
And so it's not until I fundamentally run out of gas and trying to live a torrential life in the heart.
Speaker 1:
01:32:05
that I finally will s will will reduce myself to pain.
Speaker 1:
01:32:11
And in these last six months, I went I put that pain into my feet.
Speaker 1:
01:32:15
And I couldn't walk a few months ago at all.
Speaker 1:
01:32:18
I was in so much pain.
Speaker 1:
01:32:20
Reactive arthritis in my left foot.
Speaker 1:
01:32:22
It was horrific.
Speaker 1:
01:32:24
Pain.
Speaker 1:
01:32:28
And it happened to start on the day that I was doing ceremony with a a group from Brazil.
Speaker 1:
01:32:34
And plant medicine always takes me the same place, this beautiful black emptiness of everything.
Speaker 1:
01:32:39
And I never see it.
Speaker 1:
01:32:40
I don't get any hallucinatory things ever.
Speaker 1:
01:32:42
Everybody else is like seeing jaguars and their grandmother and the moon.
Speaker 1:
01:32:44
And I'm like, no, it's just all black people.
Speaker 1:
01:32:47
You guys are making stuff up.
Speaker 1:
01:32:50
So I was expecting to go there, and I could not get to the black because the foot was hurting so much that it was keeping me in the body.
Speaker 1:
01:32:58
And pretty soon the pain was getting so severe and the plant medicine was kicking in at a high enough rate of remembering myself that I couldn't get out of the foot.
Speaker 1:
01:33:08
Pretty soon I couldn't get out of the pain and pretty soon I was the pain.
Speaker 1:
01:33:13
When you become the pain, you are more present than your being has ever been, and you are more powerful than you've ever been.
Speaker 1:
01:33:26
When I became pain, I could move it up underneath my toenails and feel that excruciating sense of reality.
Speaker 1:
01:33:34
I could move it back out on my toes and I can move it up my leg.
Speaker 1:
01:33:37
I can move it up into my spine.
Speaker 1:
01:33:39
I can move it into the brain itself and feel pain there.
Speaker 1:
01:33:43
It was the most godlike I had ever felt, my embodiment of being pain.
Speaker 1:
01:33:51
It is not a bad thing.
Speaker 1:
01:33:53
It is showing you the path to healing.
Speaker 1:
01:33:57
And I spent my whole last medical career as a hospice palliative care doctor learning how to numb the pain.
Speaker 1:
01:34:05
Telling my patients, you shouldn't have to feel the pain, not realizing I was stealing from them at the last moment of their life.
Speaker 1:
01:34:12
their opportunity to go to the source of the pain and forgive it and solve everything.
Speaker 1:
01:34:17
I think I perpetuated the karmic energy and the repeat of the human story for a whole other generation out of the number of people I numbed at the end of their life so they could not feel the pain.
Speaker 1:
01:34:27
I'm so sorry to every one of those souls that I participated in with a savior mentality to drive them back into a loop where they would have to re-embody for more pain until they were willing to.
Speaker 1:
01:34:39
Not only accept it, but become it to find the source that needs to be forgiven so that we could tip a little dark to light.
Speaker 1:
01:34:46
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5:
01:34:55
You talked about uh women feeling this uh deprivation
Speaker 5:
01:35:00
sucked out of them.
Speaker 5:
01:35:01
What could you advise us women to have another focus?
Speaker 5:
01:35:06
Or what could we do so we protect ourselves a little bit more from that?
Speaker 1:
01:35:13
No.
Speaker 1:
01:35:14
Divorce all the men first.
Speaker 1:
01:35:18
Just kidding.
Speaker 5:
01:35:18
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:
01:35:19
No, no, no, no, no, don't do that.
Speaker 1:
01:35:25
Yeah, so how can we begin to make this transition?
Speaker 1:
01:35:28
I think is basically the question.
Speaker 1:
01:35:29
So, if we're sucking the life force out of the feminine within ourselves and in our relationships, how do we stop that?
Speaker 1:
01:35:35
I think is generally the question.
Speaker 1:
01:35:38
The answer is ultimately a radical letting go.
Speaker 1:
01:35:44
I mean, you have to radically let go of the things that you are clinging to in that other person to make yourself feel whole.
Speaker 1:
01:35:52
And the most difficult thing is dropping the Savior complex that you're stuck in.
Speaker 1:
01:35:57
By and large, when women drain themselves into a relationship, it's because they've stepped into the savior role.
Speaker 1:
01:36:04
We would like to think that it's the woman being perpetrated by the male that drains her.
Speaker 1:
01:36:09
I don't think so.
Speaker 1:
01:36:12
I think it's her stepping in to save your role to save the man who feels incomplete.
Speaker 1:
01:36:18
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
01:36:19
And so the first thing you'll have to do is let go of the desire to save
Speaker 1:
01:36:22
The man.
Speaker 1:
01:36:23
And in the same way, we have to let go of the desire to save people who aren't awake or aren't conscious or all these judgment calls we make.
Speaker 1:
01:36:30
That's us being savior again.
Speaker 1:
01:36:33
And it's happening in a very toxic way on this planet with white males right now.
Speaker 1:
01:36:38
There's this whole genre of new white male that's probably the most nauseating thing that's been expressed by our species right now, but they're called crypto dudes.
Speaker 1:
01:36:52
There's a bunch of them here in Amsterdam.
Speaker 1:
01:36:59
The crypto dudes have decided that they have found Jesus by decentralizing currency into something that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1:
01:37:11
And God then created the NFT to try to show them that they were wrong.
Speaker 1:
01:37:18
And that wasn't enough evidence to do it because at the same time that the NFT is completely dissolved, everybody realized that NFT stood for not a fucking thing.
Speaker 1:
01:37:31
At that same moment, those crypto dudes found psilocybin.
Speaker 1:
01:37:36
And so now they're convinced that they're going to scale consciousness for all of humanity through creating multi-billion dollar drug dealer companies.
Speaker 1:
01:37:44
I could kid you not, there's ho there's whole funds now created to support this vision.
Speaker 1:
01:37:52
I was in Costa Rica in Osara and I got a text message from one of these groups and it said, meet on Thursday at 11:11 a.
Speaker 1:
01:38:00
m.
Speaker 1:
01:38:02
to join us as we determine how we are going to scale consciousness for humanity with the legalization of psilocybin.
Speaker 1:
01:38:11
The absurdity of this text message on so many levels is really hard to deal with, right?
Speaker 1:
01:38:17
That they would have the boldness to say 11, 11 a.
Speaker 1:
01:38:20
as if this was clearly a divinely appointed universe waiting
Speaker 1:
01:38:24
Mary Magdalene herself endowing it with the 22 to say that archangels will be present for crypto dudes to determine how they're going to scale consciousness.
Speaker 1:
01:38:33
Never mind that consciousness is not a thing that can be scaled, because it's actually just a window in which you look through the universe at.
Speaker 1:
01:38:42
There are so many fallacies in this movement of decentralization and the DAOs and the crypto and the things.
Speaker 1:
01:38:51
The fallacies are so freaking multileveled here.
Speaker 1:
01:38:57
And I know this is difficult because ninety percent of you have a crypto wallet, I'm sure.
Speaker 1:
01:39:02
And so I'm not trying to cast judgment.
Speaker 1:
01:39:04
I'm just trying to show a mirror to what our collective behavior is as we keep
Speaker 1:
01:39:09
thinking that we cracked the code by repeating the Savior mentality.
Speaker 1:
01:39:16
Psilocyban is just another Saviour tool.
Speaker 1:
01:39:21
And you're going to feel like you saved yourself when, for a moment, you had an ego death and you realized you are connected to God.
Speaker 1:
01:39:29
That is not surprising, and that is not remarkable.
Speaker 1:
01:39:32
That's what the tree feels constantly.
Speaker 1:
01:39:38
And so we need to drop the belief that having a spiritual experience is important.
Speaker 1:
01:39:45
It's the opposite is important.
Speaker 1:
01:39:49
You've been spiritual since you were beginning of time.
Speaker 1:
01:39:53
You're always spirit.
Speaker 1:
01:39:55
You're a soul.
Speaker 1:
01:39:57
The beauty of this moment is that you're actually a finite somatic body that can feel everything, most of all pain.
Speaker 1:
01:40:06
Stop chasing the spiritual experience because your soul is so tired of having the spiritual experience that it's trying to have a finite experience of pain.
Speaker 1:
01:40:14
And so it's giving you your life path.
Speaker 1:
01:40:17
So stop rejecting your life path and embody that pain and dance it in tonight.
Speaker 1:
01:40:22
Dance the pain in tonight.
Speaker 1:
01:40:25
And sit in it and be with it.
Speaker 1:
01:40:28
Conjure up every sorrow, every heartbreak, every pain that you've had in your life tonight, and glory in it.
Speaker 1:
01:40:36
And forgive yourself for having buried that so deep and judged it so harshly and told everybody that that was a bad thing.
Speaker 1:
01:40:44
That's why you came.
Speaker 1:
01:40:48
I think I'm going to close with this thought.
Speaker 1:
01:40:50
I'm sure there's some other brilliant things, but I want us to get to the dancing part pretty soon.
Speaker 1:
01:40:55
How are we doing on time?
Speaker 1:
01:40:58
All right, one more question.
Speaker 1:
01:41:00
There's three questions.
Speaker 6:
01:41:02
Hi, Zach.
Speaker 6:
01:41:04
I was wondering what your thoughts are on the
Speaker 6:
01:41:08
role of technology and artificial intelligence, in particular on the evolution of consciousness.
Speaker 1:
01:41:17
So, consciousness cannot evolve.
Speaker 1:
01:41:19
It's actually just an aperture through which you see the knowledge field.
Speaker 1:
01:41:23
So, again, we have to be, we need to retrain our brains at this point around the concept of consciousness.
Speaker 1:
01:41:29
Can't be scaled.
Speaker 1:
01:41:30
It can't be upgraded.
Speaker 1:
01:41:31
There's not a higher consciousness or lower consciousness.
Speaker 1:
01:41:33
There's only one window, and it gets smaller or bigger.
Speaker 1:
01:41:36
That's it.
Speaker 1:
01:41:41
There's absolutely no such thing as artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1:
01:41:44
There's only intelligence.
Speaker 1:
01:41:45
It comes in many different forms.
Speaker 1:
01:41:47
The most intelligent thing that I'm aware of is
Speaker 1:
01:41:50
Roughly 14 quadrillion mitochondria that are all interconnected and speaking through quantum fiber optic cables inside my own body to transfer light energy 10,000 times brighter than the sun.
Speaker 1:
01:42:01
in order to create life that is a synergy of manifestation and particle states from waveform every millionth of a second to continue to manifest my body out of vacuum space and then interconnect that with a half a million species of bacteria, fungi and the rest that are building a
Speaker 1:
01:42:16
ecosystem within me that's bringing so much nutrient base that I can continue to transmute elements until I have gold inside my veins.
Speaker 1:
01:42:24
That's an intelligent system.
Speaker 1:
01:42:33
The only thing that makes our computer intelligence seem artificial perhaps, or conveniently named artificial, is because it's based on natural language models.
Speaker 1:
01:42:46
NLMs are the foundation by which the spiders that go out and look for information are coming scouring for data and then bringing us back answers.
Speaker 1:
01:42:57
what is a natural language model?
Speaker 1:
01:43:00
A natural language model is based mostly, I'd say, ninety percent on the language of English.
Speaker 1:
01:43:07
Because the amount of data, mostly scientific, that's been put into the field of information that we call knowledge.
Speaker 1:
01:43:15
in this thing.
Speaker 1:
01:43:15
So now we have an English language that's dominating the system of data by which the computer intelligence is working from.
Speaker 1:
01:43:25
A possible history of humankind is that we were fully telepathic, just as our autistic children are today.
Speaker 1:
01:43:31
We were fully telepathic beings for most of our existence.
Speaker 1:
01:43:35
And if you've ever sat with Aboriginal people in the bush, they are fully telepathic.
Speaker 1:
01:43:40
It's not hard to prove that this is the reality.
Speaker 1:
01:43:42
When the CIA looks for remote viewers that can listen to any conversation on the planet,
Speaker 1:
01:43:48
They go after indigenous cultures and beings.
Speaker 1:
01:43:50
And so they're we have CIA embedded with African tribes for the last seventy years, trying to figure out how they're doing their telepathic communication.
Speaker 1:
01:43:57
So we've been telepathic most of our existence.
Speaker 1:
01:44:00
And then along came tonal language.
Speaker 1:
01:44:02
maybe fifty thousand, seventy thousand years ago, in a collapsed society immediately.
Speaker 1:
01:44:07
And we had a decrement of our intelligence because we were no longer connected to the knowledge field directly.
Speaker 1:
01:44:13
So everything was experiential and everything was in full translation or communication and the telepathic state.
Speaker 1:
01:44:18
And then we got tonal language.
Speaker 1:
01:44:20
And then we could only communicate as good as the tones could transmit.
Speaker 1:
01:44:24
And that went on for about 30,000 years.
Speaker 1:
01:44:26
Then maybe 15,000 years ago we collapsed into spoken language.
Speaker 1:
01:44:30
So we took tones, which were full wavelengths of information that were carrier waves and could carry stuff other than just the tone.
Speaker 1:
01:44:38
harmonics of vibration of frequencies, even light energy captured in there.
Speaker 1:
01:44:43
We lost all that.
Speaker 1:
01:44:44
We went to spoken word, which was then not the full
Speaker 1:
01:44:47
wavelength of an experience that we're trying to transmit, it's now an abstract consolidated construct that we say represents the color
Speaker 1:
01:44:56
Of the sky.
Speaker 1:
01:44:57
The color of the sky is something that's constantly changing and depending on morning and night and everything else.
Speaker 1:
01:45:02
And that's what we would transmit when we say the beauty of the sky.
Speaker 1:
01:45:05
But then we came along with a language that said it's blue.
Speaker 1:
01:45:08
Sky is blue.
Speaker 1:
01:45:10
A really lame word once you like really start to realize what we've done to that sky.
Speaker 1:
01:45:14
We called it blue.
Speaker 1:
01:45:15
That grass is not vibrating in the frequencies of the wind, and it's green.
Speaker 1:
01:45:21
And so we've dumbed down reality through spoken language, and then 5,000 years ago, we get written word, and then all of the energy is gone because it's not even spoken anymore.
Speaker 1:
01:45:34
And so now we have a non-spoken abstract reality in written word.
Speaker 1:
01:45:39
And that's what computers are reading today.
Speaker 1:
01:45:42
And so the only thing that artificial intelligence can do is give us an amplified version of the hallucination we've created through language.
Speaker 1:
01:45:51
It's not intelligent at any kind of scary level.
Speaker 1:
01:45:56
The only reason we should fear that level of intelligence
Speaker 1:
01:45:59
is because it just magnifies the wound that we carry, and it magnifies the othering within us.
Speaker 1:
01:46:06
And we got all kinds of people that are using ChatGPT to do things that feel so spiritual.
Speaker 1:
01:46:12
I gave it my astrology chart, and it couldn't believe what came back to me.
Speaker 1:
01:46:15
Really?
Speaker 1:
01:46:16
You couldn't believe it?
Speaker 1:
01:46:17
Because, like, not every astrologer in the world has already put that information in the field and just read all that.
Speaker 1:
01:46:22
It's like, just kind of a good version of your own astrologer.
Speaker 1:
01:46:25
Why are we so amazed?
Speaker 1:
01:46:28
And then why do we trust it so much?
Speaker 1:
01:46:31
And I think we trust it so much.
Speaker 1:
01:46:32
And what ChatGPT says to you today, you're like, wow, that's really good, because
Speaker 1:
01:46:37
It's an external representation of how I feel inside.
Speaker 1:
01:46:41
Because what you feel inside is a sacred spiritual being that's existed since the beginning of time that's trying to have a finite reality of pain.
Speaker 1:
01:46:51
so that it can transmute it through the power of forgiveness to bring a little bit more light into the universe.
Speaker 1:
01:46:57
Instead, the soul is watching its human being completely deluded and distracted by this echo chamber of its own spoken word.
Speaker 1:
01:47:05
And that's why we will fear AI ultimately.
Speaker 1:
01:47:11
But I want to wrap this up in a positive way as
Speaker 1:
01:47:14
Mark insured me I should.
Speaker 1:
01:47:17
Is that okay if I jump now?
Speaker 1:
01:47:18
All right, we're gonna close this now with a last thought, and then
Speaker 1:
01:47:22
I'll be around for a bit.
Speaker 1:
01:47:23
So if there's burning questions, you can try to grab me.
Speaker 1:
01:47:27
I'll try to answer some.
Speaker 1:
01:47:32
You may have heard this already on podcasts because I've shared it a couple of times recently because it's just one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Speaker 1:
01:47:37
But I was down in Costa Rica and saw this woman
Speaker 1:
01:47:41
Absolutely freaking covered in gold.
Speaker 1:
01:47:44
To a very obnoxious degree, either she was the most ostentatious human being on the earth, or she was really seeking or putting gold on her body for a different reason than adornment.
Speaker 1:
01:47:53
And that's kind of what was
Speaker 1:
01:47:55
The hope that I had when I saw her because it was like covering her neck and her ears and her face and her arms.
Speaker 1:
01:48:00
And it was an amazing amount of gold.
Speaker 1:
01:48:04
And I could tell it was a high-grade gold because as you get more and more pure it turns into that strange matte finish.
Speaker 1:
01:48:10
It's not glossy at all.
Speaker 1:
01:48:11
It's not like the shiny gold wedding band.
Speaker 1:
01:48:14
It almost looks like putty.
Speaker 1:
01:48:18
pure gold.
Speaker 1:
01:48:20
And so I was like, wow, that's that's really rich looking gold that you're wearing.
Speaker 1:
01:48:23
Are you wearing that for some sort of like medicinal property?
Speaker 1:
01:48:26
Are you
Speaker 1:
01:48:27
She says, actually, that's very similar.
Speaker 1:
01:48:29
Actually, I'm trying to elevate my frequency through wearing this stuff, and I wear it this way, and I
Speaker 1:
01:48:35
wear it over acupuncture points and it was a beautiful story.
Speaker 1:
01:48:37
And I was like, it looks very pure and she she says, Oh, I that's an interesting thing that I said.
Speaker 1:
01:48:42
She said, it is the purest I can buy, but that's only ninety nine point nine percent pure.
Speaker 1:
01:48:47
And I was very frustrated.
Speaker 1:
01:48:49
I couldn't find 100% gold.
Speaker 1:
01:48:50
So she so I called my master goldsmith, who I'd learned from, and asked him, Why can't I if we can purify it to 99.
Speaker 1:
01:48:57
99%, why can't I buy 100% gold?
Speaker 1:
01:49:01
And he laughed and he said
Speaker 1:
01:49:03
That's because gold is the mineral form of light, and the only thing that makes it solid is its impurities.
Speaker 1:
01:49:12
Is it possible that you're an ancient light being that decided it needed a finite experience that could only occur in its solid state if it took on some impurities?
Speaker 1:
01:49:26
Maybe we trigger this phenomenal event of humankind at the speed of forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:49:33
when we stop judging the impurities and realize that's the only thing keeping us finite, so that we can feel the pain, so that we can tip the order of the universe through forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
01:49:42
And through this unconditional love.
Speaker 1:
01:49:44
And so tonight, go to sleep, enjoy for the impurities you carry, and turn to the person you love, that you've been trying to love and trying to be loved by.
Speaker 1:
01:49:52
It's probably the person you know least in the world is the person you've spent the most time with.
Speaker 1:
01:49:56
Sadly, that's a reality we live.
Speaker 1:
01:49:59
So turn to that person over dinner or on a pillow and say, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1:
01:50:05
That the closer I got to you and the brighter you burned, the more I saw your impurities and I held you accountable for your impurities as if they were your problem.
Speaker 1:
01:50:12
I'm so grateful you took those on so that you would be material for a moment.
Speaker 1:
01:50:17
So that you would become solid enough that you could hold me tonight in bed, and I would feel your body against mine.
Speaker 1:
01:50:24
I'll return to light and you will too.
Speaker 1:
01:50:27
And we will find each other again in the cosmos when there is no impurities to distract from the beauty of one another.
Speaker 1:
01:50:33
But right now, let's revel in the fact that we were willing to take on the impurities and hurt each other so severely in this relationship, so that we would feel enough pain that we could participate in this great tipping point of cosmic history.
Speaker 1:
01:50:46
Hold each other tonight and make love in a new way.
Speaker 1:
01:50:50
And maybe we start the cascade.
Speaker 1:
01:50:53
Very grateful for all of you.
Speaker 1:
01:50:55
Thank you all for organizing this event.
Speaker 1:
01:50:58
It's been beautiful.
Speaker 2:
01:51:08
We're almost ready to step on the dance floor.
Speaker 2:
01:51:10
But before we do that, I would love to
Speaker 2:
01:51:13
take a moment to share a personal video from uh the leader of the Kuntanawa tribe, which is a project that
Speaker 2:
01:51:21
SEC is supporting with Project Biome, but also all of you, because ten percent of all the ticket revenue will be donated to the foundation.
Speaker 2:
01:51:31
protecting the indigenous wisdom that we all need to remember our own nature and also one hundred thousand hectares of the Amazon rainforest.
Speaker 2:
01:51:39
I would love to show the video and then have kind of a
Speaker 2:
01:51:42
one minute perspective from you on why this project is so important.
Speaker 2:
01:51:47
And then we'll have a QR code.
Speaker 2:
01:51:48
So if you feel called to donate more, then it's always welcome.
Speaker 2:
01:51:52
It will stay up
Speaker 2:
01:51:53
During the whole dance experience, so feel free.
Speaker 1:
01:51:57
Maybe I'll give the one a minute now and then they can watch the verse.
Speaker 1:
01:52:01
So, this the Koonawa tribe is in the northern Brazilian Amazon.
Speaker 1:
01:52:06
They're in one of the most threatened zones of the Amazon right now.
Speaker 1:
01:52:08
There's massive development happening through their sacred territory, and there's a huge Chinese operation that's building this massive highway system across much of the Amazon there, and they're literally building on top of their
Speaker 1:
01:52:21
Sacred burial grounds and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1:
01:52:23
And there's a wonderful, relatively new construct in Brazil and a number of other countries in South America called demarcation.
Speaker 1:
01:52:32
And it's a government allowance that if the tribe can raise an
Speaker 1:
01:52:36
Money to do the surveying of their traditional lands and then document that legally, then they get a formally demarcated territory.
Speaker 1:
01:52:45
And the Kootenawa can very easily document their quarter million acres.
Speaker 1:
01:52:50
And so they've got a quarter million acres that they've been taking care of for 40,000 years or more.
Speaker 1:
01:52:55
And they've been in this beautiful symbiotic relationship.
Speaker 1:
01:52:58
They are a keystone species in this space.
Speaker 1:
01:53:01
And so, for an incredibly small amount of money, we can.
Speaker 1:
01:53:05
can complete that process.
Speaker 1:
01:53:07
And it's already afoot.
Speaker 1:
01:53:08
We've raised the first $100,000 or so already for a $500,000 raise.
Speaker 1:
01:53:12
But for $500,000, we end up raising or saving that 250,000
Speaker 1:
01:53:18
And so that's
Speaker 1:
01:53:19
Around 100,000 hectares.
Speaker 1:
01:53:22
That's roughly $2 per acre.
Speaker 1:
01:53:26
And so, if you think, what could I possibly do today to help this planet move forward into a state of
Speaker 1:
01:53:33
remembering humanity as a keystone species.
Speaker 1:
01:53:35
I think you're going to feel it in the Kootenaw and you see this video and we're raising the rest of that money.
Speaker 1:
01:53:39
And you guys have already participated in that and buying tickets tonight.
Speaker 1:
01:53:42
And so very grateful for your contribution for this already.
Speaker 1:
01:53:45
But if you feel inspired for your company,
Speaker 1:
01:53:47
or your family office or anything else to really come in at l higher levels, we would love to have you aboard.
Speaker 1:
01:53:52
Because when you watch this video, I want you to just to sense into how it feels in your body to see a
Speaker 1:
01:54:00
A category within our species living out its full potential, living in its full promise, and what that feels like in our bodies.
Speaker 1:
01:54:08
So, thank you for participating.
Speaker 1:
01:54:10
Honored to be with all of you.
Speaker 1:
01:54:11
And we'll watch this and then we'll dance it out.
Speaker 7:
01:54:22
Amazon wishes to pass for a process very important,
Speaker 7:
01:54:29
And how do we contact us?
Speaker 7:
01:54:34
And a lot of occupants for the world, the responsibility of everything that is contention.
Speaker 7:
01:54:43
We plan to model.
Speaker 7:
01:54:45
And I precisely assume here, there are sustainability that.
Speaker 7:
01:55:00
So, we can contribute financing contributions to structure in our project and autonomous power and defend these territories.
