00:00:22,367 --> 00:00:25,680
>>From the earliest days
that I could remember,

6
00:00:25,784 --> 00:00:30,823
my mind was constantly capturingthe frame, the broad expanse

7
00:00:30,927 --> 00:00:35,207
of sky and the mountains ofVermont that I grew up on,

8
00:00:35,311 --> 00:00:40,557
watching the animals,
becoming part of nature.

9
00:00:40,661 --> 00:00:43,836
But what I really wanted
to do was make films.

10
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:51,810
So off to the big
city I went to study

11
00:00:51,913 --> 00:00:56,815
motion picture,
television, business.

12
00:00:56,918 --> 00:01:01,716
The streets of New York
became my greatest coach

13
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:07,757
and my friends, myfamily, my best teachers.

14
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:11,381
I got very good at what I
wanted to do, very fast.

15
00:01:17,215 --> 00:01:21,633
If you took a snapshot ofmy life, it looked perfect.

16
00:01:21,736 --> 00:01:23,669
I had a lot of fun.

17
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:25,670
I won awards on MTV.

18
00:01:25,775 --> 00:01:28,950
I directed music videosfor Grammy winning artists.

19
00:01:29,054 --> 00:01:32,195
I made my firstindependent feature film.

20
00:01:32,299 --> 00:01:35,509
I ran my own productioncompany and was fully immersed

21
00:01:35,612 --> 00:01:37,304
in being a filmmaker.

22
00:01:37,407 --> 00:01:40,203
I had a big home in
Manhattan, drove around

23
00:01:40,307 --> 00:01:41,997
town in fancy cars.

24
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:47,866
I had supermodel girlfriendsto go with my super-sized ego.

25
00:01:47,969 --> 00:01:50,247
I got into all the best
parties and hung out

26
00:01:50,351 --> 00:01:52,250
with the coolest people.

27
00:01:52,353 --> 00:01:54,804
But I wasn't satisfied.

28
00:01:54,907 --> 00:01:56,840
There was something missing.

29
00:01:56,944 --> 00:02:00,568
So I went to Hollywood,took it to the next level,

30
00:02:00,672 --> 00:02:03,847
big movies, big stars.

31
00:02:03,951 --> 00:02:06,333
Don't get me wrong, it
was a very good time.

32
00:02:06,436 --> 00:02:08,645
And I really believed
this would be

33
00:02:08,749 --> 00:02:11,890
the thing that
finally made me happy.

34
00:02:11,993 --> 00:02:14,341
But it didn't.

35
00:02:14,444 --> 00:02:17,447
>>No matter how big I did
it or how hard I tried,

36
00:02:17,551 --> 00:02:20,623
something profound wasstill missing from my life.

37
00:02:20,726 --> 00:02:23,143
And I didn't know what it was.

38
00:02:23,246 --> 00:02:27,112
Then I began to wonder if
filmmaking was my gift.

39
00:02:27,216 --> 00:02:30,115
Maybe I didn't
have any real gift.

00:03:00,628 --> 00:03:04,080
>>We incarnate on planetEarth not to receive anything

43
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:06,047
from the world whatsoever.

44
00:03:06,151 --> 00:03:09,085
But we incarnate to release
the gifts, the talents,

45
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,121
the capacities, and thepowers that are within us.

46
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,644
People have a tendency tothink that the world owes them

47
00:03:16,748 --> 00:03:18,888
something or that people
owe them something.

48
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:23,030
But in reality, as we evolve,as we become more conscious,

49
00:03:23,133 --> 00:03:28,863
we discover that this lifeforce or this life presence

50
00:03:28,966 --> 00:03:30,555
is seeking to become
conscious of itself

51
00:03:30,658 --> 00:03:34,006
as us, according to
our unique pattern.

52
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:36,492
That unique pattern is our gift.

53
00:03:36,595 --> 00:03:41,290
It is the way we get to expressthe life, the love, the beauty,

54
00:03:41,393 --> 00:03:43,706
the joy, the intelligence,the order of the universe

55
00:03:43,809 --> 00:03:45,501
as only we can do it.

56
00:03:45,603 --> 00:03:49,401
So everyone, being
a unique emanation

57
00:03:49,505 --> 00:03:52,715
of this presence,everyone being a singular

58
00:03:52,817 --> 00:03:55,338
manifestation of
a cosmic destiny,

59
00:03:55,442 --> 00:03:58,065
has not only one
gift but many ways

60
00:03:58,168 --> 00:04:00,999
by which to release
this life energy.

>>Even life, itself, is a gift.

63
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,640
But it comes with abeautiful wrapping paper.

64
00:04:21,744 --> 00:04:26,438
And often, we don't
uncover the wrapping.

65
00:04:26,542 --> 00:04:29,821
We are just caught up with thebeautiful, colored, glittery

66
00:04:29,924 --> 00:04:31,167
wrapping paper.

67
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,343
We never to into the
depth of what life is.

68
00:04:34,446 --> 00:04:37,932
So we need to unwrap the giftthat life has offered to us

69
00:04:38,036 --> 00:04:41,419
and discover, really,
what is inside of us.

70
00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:47,528
>>It is our unique way
of expressing love,

71
00:04:47,632 --> 00:04:49,599
our unique way of
revealing creativity,

00:04:49,703 --> 00:04:53,707
our unique way ofdownloading wisdom and beauty

73
00:04:53,810 --> 00:04:56,537
and all of the
transcended qualities

74
00:04:56,641 --> 00:04:58,021
that are everywhere present.

75
00:04:58,125 --> 00:04:59,713
Some are more specific.

76
00:04:59,816 --> 00:05:03,751
Some have a proclivitytowards doing that musically.

77
00:05:03,855 --> 00:05:05,201
Some can do it vocally.

78
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:08,377
Some do it through architecture
or through healing.

79
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,828
But ultimately, as anindividual releases their gift,

80
00:05:11,932 --> 00:05:14,210
they're actually
releasing the next stage

81
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,558
of their own evolution andactivating that same vibration

82
00:05:17,662 --> 00:05:20,043
and frequency in others as well.

83
00:05:20,147 --> 00:05:20,872
It's why we're here.

84
00:05:25,290 --> 00:05:27,292
>>Well, everybody does
have a gift to give.

85
00:05:27,396 --> 00:05:30,260
And the gift is the
essence of who they are.

86
00:05:30,364 --> 00:05:32,090
The sun has to shine.

87
00:05:32,193 --> 00:05:33,747
It's the nature of
the sun to do that.

88
00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:35,093
It doesn't withhold its shining.

89
00:05:35,196 --> 00:05:37,026
And it doesn't shine
to get feedback.

90
00:05:37,129 --> 00:05:38,786
It just does it because
that's its nature.

91
00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:40,512
And it's our nature to love.

92
00:05:40,616 --> 00:05:42,238
It's our nature to
express ourselves.

93
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,033
It's our nature to give.

94
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:46,760
If we are from
that which is all,

95
00:05:46,863 --> 00:05:48,658
then we contain all within us.

96
00:05:48,762 --> 00:05:52,938
And we have some unique aspectof that allness that we are.

97
00:05:53,042 --> 00:05:55,078
Just like nature
contains flowers

98
00:05:55,182 --> 00:05:57,702
of many different varieties,we are all different varieties

99
00:05:57,805 --> 00:06:02,672
of this god-consciousness that'smanifest in physical form.

100
00:06:02,776 --> 00:06:04,916
Knowing that we come
from that and that we're

101
00:06:05,019 --> 00:06:08,402
returning to that, we can'tbe anything less than that.

102
00:06:08,506 --> 00:06:14,166
I mean we are literally
expressions of God.

103
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:16,928
>>You know, a lot
of times in life,

104
00:06:17,031 --> 00:06:19,033
it's like you're liftedto the top of the mountain

105
00:06:19,137 --> 00:06:22,968
for a moment, just to
show you what's there.

106
00:06:23,072 --> 00:06:25,350
And then you have to go backto the bottom of the mountain

107
00:06:25,454 --> 00:06:28,111
and you have to climb.

108
00:06:28,215 --> 00:06:31,839
If you take away the
humanity of the journey,

109
00:06:31,943 --> 00:06:34,290
you take away part of whatis, to me, most beautiful.

110
00:06:45,577 --> 00:06:49,409
>>And in my own journey,
I was missing something,

111
00:06:49,512 --> 00:06:52,550
the presence of which wouldmake a profound difference

112
00:06:52,653 --> 00:06:54,137
in my life.

113
00:06:54,241 --> 00:06:57,278
I was not present
to my own presence.

114
00:07:05,563 --> 00:07:08,704
And I had no idea
that the fact that I

115
00:07:08,807 --> 00:07:13,156
had no relationship with theclosest living woman, blood

116
00:07:13,260 --> 00:07:17,126
relative, on the
planet to me, was

117
00:07:17,229 --> 00:07:20,336
what was affecting
me so profoundly.

118
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,789
And then I realised I wasthe source of the fighting

119
00:07:24,892 --> 00:07:26,204
in my family.

120
00:07:26,307 --> 00:07:29,897
>>So I got a phone
call from my brother,

121
00:07:30,001 --> 00:07:31,623
unexpectedly, because
we hadn't spoken

122
00:07:31,727 --> 00:07:33,556
to each other for
quite a few years.

123
00:07:33,659 --> 00:07:35,455
I don't even remember
exactly how long it was.

124
00:07:35,558 --> 00:07:36,870
It just felt like forever.

125
00:07:36,973 --> 00:07:38,803
Because we didn't like
each other at that time.

126
00:07:38,906 --> 00:07:41,391
And our relationship was
toxic for each other.

127
00:07:41,495 --> 00:07:46,120
>>I was in an emotional
war with my sister.

128
00:07:46,224 --> 00:07:49,296
We had not spoken in years.

129
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,058
We hadn't really communicatedsince our mother had died.

130
00:07:53,162 --> 00:07:54,922
And if you put us
in a room together,

131
00:07:55,026 --> 00:07:57,615
there was going to be an allout verbal and, at some point,

132
00:07:57,718 --> 00:07:59,375
physical fight.

133
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,481
>>And I got the phone
call, surprisingly,

134
00:08:01,584 --> 00:08:03,068
because truthfully,
at that point,

135
00:08:03,172 --> 00:08:05,726
I wasn't going tocommunicate with him anymore.

136
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:12,664
>>I finally was able to let goof all the issues that I had

137
00:08:12,768 --> 00:08:14,735
and call my sister.

138
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:15,702
>>He called.

139
00:08:15,805 --> 00:08:17,566
And I said, Dad OK?

140
00:08:17,669 --> 00:08:18,567
Is Tata OK?

141
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:21,259
And at that point,
that's who we had

142
00:08:21,362 --> 00:08:23,606
left in our life,
my brother and I.

143
00:08:23,710 --> 00:08:26,229
>>She hadn't heard me crysince our mother died.

144
00:08:26,332 --> 00:08:28,197
So the first thing
she said was who died?

145
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:29,232
I said nobody's dead.

146
00:08:29,336 --> 00:08:31,752
Dad's not dead, no, grandpa, no.

147
00:08:31,856 --> 00:08:33,133
>>But I want to talk to you.

148
00:08:33,236 --> 00:08:35,962
And I said, well, I don't reallywant to talk to you, at all.

149
00:08:36,067 --> 00:08:38,000
And he said, I really
want to talk to you.

150
00:08:38,102 --> 00:08:39,070
It's important.

151
00:08:39,173 --> 00:08:41,451
I need to ask your forgiveness.

152
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:44,524
>>I said something's died.

153
00:08:44,627 --> 00:08:46,698
I said what has
died is the anger

154
00:08:46,802 --> 00:08:50,875
within my own soul towardsyou, which was really

155
00:08:50,978 --> 00:08:54,637
anger towards myself for
having abandoned you,

156
00:08:54,741 --> 00:08:55,949
as your bigger brother.

157
00:08:56,052 --> 00:08:57,951
>>And that just stunned me.

158
00:08:58,054 --> 00:08:59,815
And I didn't even
know what to do

159
00:08:59,918 --> 00:09:01,955
with that, because it wasthe last thing I was ever

160
00:09:02,058 --> 00:09:05,130
expecting, ever, was for mybrother to call me and say,

161
00:09:05,234 --> 00:09:06,787
can you ever forgive me?

162
00:09:06,891 --> 00:09:08,858
All I ever wanted
was to say, yes.

163
00:09:08,962 --> 00:09:12,517
So of course, immediately, Isaid, yes, and what's going on?

164
00:09:12,621 --> 00:09:14,277
And I love you, Demian.

165
00:09:14,381 --> 00:09:15,589
And he said, I love you, too.

166
00:09:15,693 --> 00:09:18,350
And I'm really, really
sorry for everything.

167
00:09:18,454 --> 00:09:19,904
>>And I told her,
in that moment,

168
00:09:20,007 --> 00:09:26,255
I said, from today forth, Iwill never, ever, ever raise

169
00:09:26,358 --> 00:09:28,119
my voice to you again.

170
00:09:28,222 --> 00:09:31,432
From now and until
the day I die,

171
00:09:31,536 --> 00:09:34,297
when you want to know what thatbright light on your shoulder

172
00:09:34,401 --> 00:09:38,198
is, it's your brother,baby, and I got your back.

173
00:09:38,301 --> 00:09:40,856
>>And that was like the
happiest day of my life

174
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:43,513
that I had experienced
to that day.

175
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:45,930
Because my life had
just been going away.

176
00:09:46,033 --> 00:09:47,897
Everything that I thoughtwas solid and real

177
00:09:48,001 --> 00:09:49,589
in life kept leaving.

178
00:09:49,692 --> 00:09:50,866
And so I said, yes.

179
00:09:50,969 --> 00:09:53,420
And we cried on the phone,together, for a long time.

180
00:09:53,523 --> 00:09:55,422
And I'll never forget it.

181
00:09:55,525 --> 00:09:59,115
>>And the power of thatmoment, the vibrational shift

182
00:09:59,219 --> 00:10:05,466
in energy, between my sister,Shajen Joy, and her brother,

183
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:11,472

184
00:10:11,576 --> 00:10:13,509
into our entire family.

185
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,236
And our entire family
stopped fighting.

186
00:10:16,339 --> 00:10:18,894
>>And I just wanted tobe there, with my brother

187
00:10:18,997 --> 00:10:22,138
and be in the forgivenesswith him, and be together.

188
00:10:22,242 --> 00:10:23,623
And he said, let's be a family.

189
00:10:23,726 --> 00:10:24,658
I want to be connected.

190
00:10:24,762 --> 00:10:26,695
And I was like, yes.

191
00:10:26,798 --> 00:10:28,041
I want to be connected, too.

192
00:10:28,144 --> 00:10:29,490
I've been waiting.

193
00:10:29,594 --> 00:10:30,526
And I'm so excited.

194
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,667
And that then began
another life for me,

195
00:10:33,771 --> 00:10:36,843
which was a life of beingconnected to my family.

196
00:10:36,946 --> 00:10:40,432
>>I realized that I hadeverything within my being

197
00:10:40,536 --> 00:10:45,783
that it took to eliminate
anger in my world.

198
00:10:45,886 --> 00:10:48,061
And if I could do
that there, then it

199
00:10:48,164 --> 00:10:51,616
was possible that I could expandthat realm of consciousness

200
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,100
to the next realm.

201
00:10:53,204 --> 00:10:54,584
And if I could
take it from there

202
00:10:54,688 --> 00:10:57,933
and expand it to the world,what would be possible?

This is a law.

209
00:11:52,573 --> 00:11:54,852
The universe is always
seeking to wake us up.

210
00:11:54,955 --> 00:11:57,199
It's always broadcasting
what's within us,

211
00:11:57,302 --> 00:11:59,719
the powers that are within us,the gifts that are within us.

212
00:11:59,822 --> 00:12:02,031
If we ask the question,we've now become receptive.

213
00:12:10,281 --> 00:12:12,455
>>Why do I want
to be a filmmaker?

214
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,906
Why do I want to
travel the world

215
00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:19,773
and create stories about
the human existence?

216
00:12:19,877 --> 00:12:20,981
And I answered that question.

217
00:12:21,085 --> 00:12:23,950
Because I ultimately
believe that

218
00:12:24,053 --> 00:12:28,955
it is possible to
reach the entire planet

219
00:12:29,058 --> 00:12:30,680
through the process
of being a filmmaker.

220
00:12:33,511 --> 00:12:37,308
And now realizing that I dohave an extraordinary gift,

221
00:12:37,411 --> 00:12:39,172
I want to share it.

222
00:12:39,275 --> 00:12:40,311
I want to make a difference.

223
00:12:43,693 --> 00:12:46,593
>>Well if an individual reallywants to discover their gift,

224
00:12:46,696 --> 00:12:50,770
they have to ask, what istrying to express through me?

225
00:12:50,873 --> 00:12:52,564
What gift is trying to emerge?

226
00:12:52,668 --> 00:12:57,397
What power is trying to becomeconscious of itself as me?

227
00:12:57,500 --> 00:12:59,054
Many people aren't
asking that question.

228
00:12:59,157 --> 00:13:02,540
They're just asking,
how can I avoid pain,

229
00:13:02,643 --> 00:13:06,302
how can I get more
stuff, how can I fit in

230
00:13:06,406 --> 00:13:08,753
to the society in
which I'm living, how

231
00:13:08,857 --> 00:13:11,066
can I become successful?

232
00:13:11,169 --> 00:13:12,653
And perhaps their
model of success

233
00:13:12,757 --> 00:13:14,172
is something that's
been handed down

234
00:13:14,276 --> 00:13:19,143
to them by a high tech, lowtouch, consumer driven society.

235
00:13:19,246 --> 00:13:22,974
But when you ask, howcould I become more myself,

236
00:13:23,078 --> 00:13:26,702
how can I share my gifts, howcould I activate my potential?

237
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:32,950
Now you begin to activate thespiritual faculties within you

238
00:13:33,053 --> 00:13:35,642
that allow you to
hear the inaudible

239
00:13:35,745 --> 00:13:38,645
and to ultimately
see the invisible.

240
00:13:38,748 --> 00:13:40,889
Because you're pullingyourself out of the world.

241
00:13:40,992 --> 00:13:43,961
You're pulling yourselfinto an interior awareness

242
00:13:44,064 --> 00:13:47,481
of a broadcast that's
always being given.

243
00:13:47,585 --> 00:13:49,759
We're guided not by the world.

244
00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:51,382
We are guided by our heart.

245
00:13:51,485 --> 00:13:55,075
We're guided by our
soul's desire to unfold.

246
00:13:58,527 --> 00:14:01,081
>>I remember growing up feelinglike I didn't belong this

247
00:14:01,185 --> 00:14:03,808
on this planet, like
I was an anomaly.

248
00:14:03,912 --> 00:14:09,193
And I remember feeling justso alone and so disconnected

249
00:14:09,296 --> 00:14:10,953
and so sad.

250
00:14:11,057 --> 00:14:13,922
And then that escalated toa point of feeling angry,

251
00:14:14,025 --> 00:14:17,546
like something had to shift,something had to change.

252
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:21,653
And from that space is
where I began to search.

253
00:14:21,757 --> 00:14:23,759
I had like this
inner knowing that I

254
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:26,624
was destined for more thanwhat was showing up in my life.

255
00:14:26,727 --> 00:14:28,695
I just hadn't trusted it before.

256
00:14:28,798 --> 00:14:31,525
So I started tuning
in to that and asking

257
00:14:31,629 --> 00:14:34,321
questions, deep questions.

258
00:14:34,425 --> 00:14:35,702
Who am I?

259
00:14:35,805 --> 00:14:37,600
Like who am I really?

260
00:14:37,704 --> 00:14:40,983
And what's my purpose here?

261
00:14:41,087 --> 00:14:44,331
And then I noticed that when Iasked disempowering questions,

262
00:14:44,435 --> 00:14:48,715
like why is this happening tome, I would experience pain.

263
00:14:48,818 --> 00:14:51,545
But when I asked thosehigher vibrational questions,

264
00:14:51,649 --> 00:14:55,756
like what am I grateful for,
you know, who do I love,

265
00:14:55,860 --> 00:15:01,176
or how can I serve, amazingopportunities would come

266
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,213
and amazing gifts
would be revealed.

267
00:15:04,317 --> 00:15:06,629
So it was from that
receptive place

268
00:15:06,733 --> 00:15:07,768
that began with a question.

269
00:15:14,292 --> 00:15:17,157
The quality of our
lives is directly

270
00:15:17,261 --> 00:15:21,161
proportionate to the qualityof the questions that we ask.

271
00:15:21,265 --> 00:15:23,543
We create as we speak.

272
00:15:28,134 --> 00:15:30,722
>>The closer I am onto
the frequency of what

273
00:15:30,826 --> 00:15:34,450
I'm supposed to be doing,the more perfect life

274
00:15:34,554 --> 00:15:38,006
is, the more synchronisticthings happen, the more

275
00:15:38,109 --> 00:15:41,423
love and laughter I experience,and the more fun I have.

276
00:16:04,066 --> 00:16:07,345
>>The only way that thehighest good can manifest,

277
00:16:07,449 --> 00:16:09,002
through our life
experience, is when

278
00:16:09,106 --> 00:16:13,282
we are delving into
this radio station

279
00:16:13,386 --> 00:16:15,112
that this gift resides in.

280
00:16:15,215 --> 00:16:17,597
>>What most of us
do, unfortunately,

281
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:19,737
because of the way we're
educated, by our parents

282
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,842
and by school and
by the military,

283
00:16:21,946 --> 00:16:24,121
is we lose touch
with that essence.

284
00:16:24,224 --> 00:16:27,124
And then you end up at the topof the ladder, 50 years later,

285
00:16:27,227 --> 00:16:28,953
only to discover you
have the ladder leaning

286
00:16:29,057 --> 00:16:30,230
against a long wall.

287
00:16:30,334 --> 00:16:31,645
You've wasted your life.

288
00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:33,716
Not to discover
your gift is to die

289
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:36,098

00:16:36,202 --> 00:16:39,412
>>If we don't give the gift,we're killing ourselves.

291
00:16:39,515 --> 00:16:44,727
We are atrophying our heartand our soul and living life

292
00:16:44,831 --> 00:16:49,284
on a survival level, which hasa tremendous amount of anxiety,

293

fear.

294
00:16:50,871 --> 00:16:54,530
Fear-based living leads
to terrible decisions,

00:16:56,912 --> 00:16:59,328
Long lasting happiness
can only come

297
00:16:59,432 --> 00:17:01,192
when we're sharing our gift.

298
00:17:01,296 --> 00:17:03,781
>>And if you're
holding that gift back,

299
00:17:03,884 --> 00:17:05,748
then what you're
asking is you're

300
00:17:05,852 --> 00:17:09,234
asking the world, the
other people in it,

301
00:17:09,338 --> 00:17:12,824
to hold their gifts
back from you.

302
00:17:12,928 --> 00:17:16,551
So you don't get to participatein this magnificent life

303
00:17:16,656 --> 00:17:17,795
that we all have.

304
00:17:17,897 --> 00:17:20,348
You're holding back.

305
00:17:20,453 --> 00:17:22,627
The more you give
your gift, the more

306
00:17:22,731 --> 00:17:26,079
that you participate and makea difference in the world,

307
00:17:26,183 --> 00:17:29,117
the more the world willmake a difference for you.

308
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:37,987
>>So very practically, we haveto wake up every single day

309
00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:40,818
asking, what's trying
to emerge in me today?

310
00:17:40,921 --> 00:17:43,890
What gift is trying toactivate itself in me today?

311

What power is trying tobecome itself in me today?

312
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:50,655
And if the question
is sincere enough

313
00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:54,383
and the love is real
enough, the universe

314
00:17:54,487 --> 00:17:57,110
will reveal its secrets to us.

off on your path,

one of the very first
things you notice

00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:19,477
is that the biggestobstacle you have is you.

319
00:18:19,581 --> 00:18:23,309
For me, I definitely hada flash of transformation.

320
00:18:23,412 --> 00:18:27,244
I had the big breakthrough
moment with my sister.

321
00:18:27,347 --> 00:18:29,798
I popped into a new world.

322
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:31,386
Suddenly, I felt alive.

323
00:18:31,489 --> 00:18:33,664
I felt connected to everything.

324
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:36,149
I could see, touch,
smell, hear things

325
00:18:36,253 --> 00:18:39,808
I could never perceive
before and marveled

326
00:18:39,911 --> 00:18:41,465
at the wonders of
life and suddenly

327
00:18:41,568 --> 00:18:43,570
thought I knew
something about nature

328
00:18:43,674 --> 00:18:46,401
and god and the divine spirit.

329
00:18:46,504 --> 00:18:48,886
And then I experienced

all working together in aunified field of consciousness.

333
00:18:59,103 --> 00:19:03,314
They were coming in fast--
receptivity, intention,

interaction, feedback,
vibration, gratitude,

335

compassion, and unity.

336
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:13,807
And for a brief moment,
I glimpsed infinity,

337
00:19:13,911 --> 00:19:16,603
and it all became clear.

338
00:19:16,707 --> 00:19:20,987
And in this space, every badhabit and overblown piece

339
00:19:21,090 --> 00:19:24,370
of my ego came rushing
back in to fill

340

the void of the newspace I had just created.

341
00:19:28,132 --> 00:19:30,272
It was like I was
back to square one--

00:19:30,376 --> 00:19:35,001
or worse, because now I knewthat unified field existed.

343

If I wanted this
transformation to last,

344
00:19:38,625 --> 00:19:40,420
I was going to have to earn it.

345
00:19:40,524 --> 00:19:42,388
I was going to have
to work for it.

I was going to have to go afterit like my life depended on it.

And to me, it did.

00:19:57,955 --> 00:19:59,957
who would change
my life forever.

351
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:03,754
They were hosting a symposiumon consciousness, attended

352
00:20:03,857 --> 00:20:06,274
by authors,
motivational speakers,

353
00:20:06,377 --> 00:20:09,829
and transformational leadersfrom around the world.

354
00:20:09,932 --> 00:20:12,797
They had come together toembark on an epic journey

355
00:20:12,901 --> 00:20:17,181
into the frontier of what ispossible in personal growth,

356
00:20:17,285 --> 00:20:20,495
and how each of us to make adifference in our own lives

357
00:20:20,598 --> 00:20:23,083
and on the planet.

358
00:20:23,187 --> 00:20:28,848
They shared from their heartsa lifetime worth of knowledge.

359
00:20:28,951 --> 00:20:30,781
I knew I was ready.

360
00:20:30,884 --> 00:20:32,161
I was ready for something.

361
00:20:32,265 --> 00:20:35,889
But I was totallyunprepared for the adventure

362
00:20:35,993 --> 00:20:37,132
that was about to begin.

363
00:20:40,308 --> 00:20:45,209
>>The human mind really createseverything that happens to you.

364
00:20:45,313 --> 00:20:49,903
It looks like it's beencreated by something out there.

365
00:20:50,007 --> 00:20:50,939
But it isn't.

366
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:52,699
It's being created
inside your head.

367
00:20:52,803 --> 00:20:57,359
What you pay attention to, whatyou decide to pay attention to

368
00:20:57,463 --> 00:21:00,914
has a huge effect on
what happens to you

369
00:21:01,018 --> 00:21:02,985
and what you create
in your life.

370
00:21:03,089 --> 00:21:07,058
You're creating your
own reality by deciding

371
00:21:07,162 --> 00:21:09,026
what to pay attention
to for instance.

372
00:21:09,129 --> 00:21:14,031
What most people don't getis that that is a choice.

373
00:21:14,134 --> 00:21:17,586
>>We live in a universeof infinite possibilities

374
00:21:17,690 --> 00:21:20,658
that responds to the
power of our thoughts.

375
00:21:20,762 --> 00:21:23,972
Our neurology, like ournervous system and our brain,

376
00:21:24,075 --> 00:21:26,181
can't take in infinite
possibilities.

377
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:28,010
It's like way too
much information.

378
00:21:28,114 --> 00:21:32,083
It would be like trying todownload the whole internet.

379
00:21:32,187 --> 00:21:35,363
So what we do and
how our mind works

380
00:21:35,466 --> 00:21:39,228
is that it sorts through
infinite possibilities,

381
00:21:39,332 --> 00:21:41,161
and it picks up just
a tiny little bit.

382
00:21:41,265 --> 00:21:43,750
So it sorts and sifts,
and, in that process,

383
00:21:43,854 --> 00:21:48,065
it deletes some thingsthen makes generalizations.

384
00:21:48,168 --> 00:21:50,101
And that tiny little
bit that we pick up

385
00:21:50,205 --> 00:21:54,140
is what harmonizes with
our deepest beliefs

386
00:21:54,243 --> 00:21:57,833
and our values and
our programming.

387
00:21:57,937 --> 00:21:59,352
>>There have been
many conversations

388
00:21:59,456 --> 00:22:03,770
in the recent years about whatyou focus on, you attract,

389
00:22:03,874 --> 00:22:07,015
and what happens in
your life is because

390
00:22:07,118 --> 00:22:08,016
of what you think about.

391
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,811
And that is absolutely true.

392
00:22:09,914 --> 00:22:11,640
What happens after we
think about something

393
00:22:11,744 --> 00:22:13,608
is a certain energy is created.

394
00:22:13,711 --> 00:22:15,782
And it is created
not only in our body

395
00:22:15,886 --> 00:22:18,406
but in our personal
space, in our reality.

396
00:22:18,509 --> 00:22:22,548
And a certain reality thenunfolds because of thoughts

397
00:22:22,651 --> 00:22:24,101
and beliefs that
we hold in place.

398
00:22:24,204 --> 00:22:26,275
>>What you think
about comes about.

399
00:22:26,379 --> 00:22:27,346
Right?

400
00:22:27,449 --> 00:22:29,244
What is your main,
dominant thoughtform?

401
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,039
That tells you who
you're going to become.

402
00:22:31,142 --> 00:22:32,627
If you want to know who you'regoing to be five years from now

403
00:22:32,730 --> 00:22:34,076
or five minutes
from now, tell me

404
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:35,492
what your dominant
thoughtform is,

405
00:22:35,595 --> 00:22:37,632
and I'll tell you
where you are moving

406
00:22:37,735 --> 00:22:40,980
or how you're staying stagnant.

407
00:22:41,083 --> 00:22:43,776
>>Most people are not
directing their mind

408
00:22:43,879 --> 00:22:45,674
in an intentional way.

409
00:22:45,778 --> 00:22:47,814
It's running on autopilot.

410
00:22:47,918 --> 00:22:50,679
So the person whose
life is not working

411
00:22:50,783 --> 00:22:54,096
is unconsciously
and unintentionally

412
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,857
thinking in a certain way.

413
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,446
And that thinking
then directly leads

414
00:22:58,549 --> 00:23:01,000
to a certain result in life.

415
00:23:01,103 --> 00:23:03,312
And because they don't
see the connection,

416
00:23:03,416 --> 00:23:06,833
they continue to do it.

417
00:23:06,937 --> 00:23:10,975
>>People sabotage themselvesa lot with negative thinking.

418
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:12,874
When people are feeling
angry or depressed,

419
00:23:12,977 --> 00:23:15,083
it's usually because they'rethinking about something

420
00:23:15,186 --> 00:23:17,775
in the past, something thatthey have no control over.

421
00:23:17,879 --> 00:23:20,226
And when you are in
the present, that's

422
00:23:20,329 --> 00:23:24,541
where you do have control overyour thoughts, your actions,

423
00:23:24,644 --> 00:23:25,783
how you're feeling.

424
00:23:25,887 --> 00:23:28,234
And to get that there's
that shift inside.

425
00:23:28,337 --> 00:23:30,547
Because when you're
feeling negative,

426
00:23:30,650 --> 00:23:31,893
you're doing that to yourself.

427
00:23:31,996 --> 00:23:37,001
It's a thought that comesdown and creates that feeling.

428
00:23:37,105 --> 00:23:41,178
>>We get in our own way,because we hold past memories,

429
00:23:41,281 --> 00:23:43,387
we hold onto regrets.

430
00:23:43,491 --> 00:23:47,115
We had people that tell us,you're never going to make it.

431
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:50,463
Whatever it is, we've
all had experiences.

432
00:23:50,567 --> 00:23:54,467
So what we need to do tobe happy is let those go.

433
00:23:54,571 --> 00:23:56,538
Let the past go.

434
00:23:56,642 --> 00:23:59,196
Release what is stoppingus from our own happiness.

435
00:24:02,613 --> 00:24:06,514
>>A lot of people live
their entire lives

436
00:24:06,617 --> 00:24:11,173
at the effect of
everything around them.

437
00:24:11,277 --> 00:24:14,176
They don't see their
life as something

438
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,662
that they can make happen.

439
00:24:16,765 --> 00:24:22,253
They see their life assomething that happens to them.

440
00:24:22,357 --> 00:24:27,120
>>Any time you catchyourself blaming, justifying

441
00:24:27,224 --> 00:24:30,365
your actions, making
someone else wrong,

442
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:34,058
or trying to be
right, or defending,

443
00:24:34,162 --> 00:24:37,890
these are examples
that illuminate

444
00:24:37,993 --> 00:24:39,201
that you're in effect.

445
00:24:39,305 --> 00:24:41,376
And you can't
discover your gifts

446
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,482
when you're on the effectside of the equation

447
00:24:43,585 --> 00:24:46,519
because you're not reallypresent to your power.

448
00:24:49,936 --> 00:24:53,250
>>I wanted to be accomplished,and I wanted to be successful.

449
00:24:53,353 --> 00:24:56,080
Even though I had a
little secret, which

450
00:24:56,184 --> 00:24:58,945
was that I really
wanted to be a mother,

451
00:24:59,049 --> 00:25:00,429
and I really wanted
to get married,

452
00:25:00,533 --> 00:25:02,328
and I really wanted
to have a family.

453
00:25:02,431 --> 00:25:06,090
But I thought I couldn't havethat life and my career, too.

454
00:25:06,194 --> 00:25:07,471
I thought that I
was going to have

455
00:25:07,575 --> 00:25:10,578
to choose one or the other.

456
00:25:10,681 --> 00:25:11,786
I was conflicted.

457
00:25:11,889 --> 00:25:15,306
And I felt paralyzed.

458
00:25:15,410 --> 00:25:17,274
>>In the Webster's
Dictionary, it

459
00:25:17,377 --> 00:25:20,311
says consciousness means tobe aware of what we are doing

460
00:25:20,415 --> 00:25:21,692
and why.

461
00:25:21,796 --> 00:25:24,695
And if you're not aware,
you can't make choices.

462
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:26,110
If you're not aware
of what you're

463
00:25:26,214 --> 00:25:28,147
doing in the moment
and the impact

464
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:30,943
that's having, we
don't have choices.

465
00:25:31,046 --> 00:25:33,462
If you're not aware that yousay something you contract,

466
00:25:33,566 --> 00:25:35,603
you don't have a choice
to do it differently.

467
00:25:35,706 --> 00:25:37,984
If you don't notice that youdid that and it fills you up,

468
00:25:38,088 --> 00:25:39,676
you don't have a choice
to keep doing it.

469
00:25:39,779 --> 00:25:40,746
It was just an accident.

470
00:25:40,849 --> 00:25:42,437
So you can't get better at it.

471
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:44,128
You can't make it a practice.

472
00:25:44,232 --> 00:25:45,716
You have to be
aware it's a choice,

473
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:47,994
or you can't make the choice.

474
00:25:48,098 --> 00:25:52,723
>>And then I remembered
every moment is a gift.

475
00:25:52,827 --> 00:25:55,830
And that's why it's
called the present.

476
00:25:55,933 --> 00:25:58,557
As soon as I
realized that, I saw

477
00:25:58,660 --> 00:26:02,388
that everything that I wantedwas right in front of me.

478
00:26:02,491 --> 00:26:04,804
So I gave myselfpermission to choose both.

479
00:26:07,773 --> 00:26:09,982
>>When people
develop the awareness

480
00:26:10,085 --> 00:26:13,157
to look inside the
mind and notice

481
00:26:13,261 --> 00:26:16,920
that, when I believe this,certain things happen, I

482
00:26:17,023 --> 00:26:19,094
feel a certain way, I
behave a certain way,

483
00:26:19,198 --> 00:26:21,683
I attract certain peopleand situations into my life.

484
00:26:21,787 --> 00:26:25,756
Once people get clear on
that and exercise choice

485
00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:31,106
at each of these junctures, theworld starts to unfold for you.

486
00:26:34,109 --> 00:26:36,629
>>You know, the veryinteresting thing about our mind

487
00:26:36,733 --> 00:26:41,392
is when our mind is calm andcollected and it's focused,

488
00:26:41,496 --> 00:26:45,949
it gets enormous
energy, enormous power

489
00:26:46,052 --> 00:26:48,158
of manifesting its
own intentions.

490
00:26:48,261 --> 00:26:54,405
And human nature is such, youcan't but look for something.

491
00:26:54,509 --> 00:27:00,411
The quest is very natural to adeveloped mind, the human mind.

492
00:27:00,515 --> 00:27:01,343
We want to know things.

493
00:27:01,447 --> 00:27:03,311
We want to know how things are.

494
00:27:03,414 --> 00:27:06,072
So to know what is
this is science.

495
00:27:06,176 --> 00:27:09,904
And to know who am
I is spirituality.

496
00:27:10,007 --> 00:27:15,979
And they're so complimentary

497
00:27:56,916 --> 00:27:59,401
>>In order to change reactivethought to proactive thought,

498
00:27:59,505 --> 00:28:02,128
you first have to become
aware of your thoughts.

499
00:28:02,232 --> 00:28:03,958
Because if you watch
your thoughts for long,

500
00:28:04,061 --> 00:28:06,374
you start to notice, all
day long, these thoughts

501
00:28:06,477 --> 00:28:07,444
are just coming.

502
00:28:07,547 --> 00:28:08,963
And you realize
you're watching them.

503
00:28:09,066 --> 00:28:10,102
They're not you.

504
00:28:10,205 --> 00:28:11,793
They're just-- a part
of you is creating them,

505
00:28:11,897 --> 00:28:13,657
called your mind and your ego.

506
00:28:13,761 --> 00:28:17,799
And as you begin to see the fearand the doubt and the judgments

507
00:28:17,903 --> 00:28:21,078
and just watch it neutrally,it almost becomes comical.

508
00:28:21,182 --> 00:28:22,977
And then you realizeyou're not your thoughts.

509
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,737
You can observe your thoughts.

510
00:28:24,841 --> 00:28:27,119
And once you get to that
place-- I have a mind,

511
00:28:27,222 --> 00:28:29,017
but I'm not my mind,
I have an intellect,

512
00:28:29,121 --> 00:28:32,020
but I'm not my intellect, I'mthis pure center of awareness

513
00:28:32,124 --> 00:28:35,610
and choice-- now I see Ican choose the thoughts that

514
00:28:35,714 --> 00:28:36,991
will take where I want to go.

515
00:28:37,094 --> 00:28:40,201
I can choose the thoughts thatwill support my dreams, that

516
00:28:40,304 --> 00:28:42,790
will uplift me and my
family and humanity.

517
00:28:42,893 --> 00:28:45,171
Then you become intentionalwith your thoughts.

518
00:28:45,275 --> 00:28:47,346
>>If you have a dominant
thoughtform that's

519
00:28:47,449 --> 00:28:48,761
dysfunctional, all
you've got to do

520
00:28:48,865 --> 00:28:50,487
is think a little bit
better thought, then

521
00:28:50,590 --> 00:28:51,453
a little bit better
thought, then

522
00:28:51,557 --> 00:28:52,627
a little bit better thought.

523
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:54,180
And you start to change.

524
00:28:54,284 --> 00:28:56,493
It's a very small,
slight change.

525
00:28:56,596 --> 00:29:00,186
But little changes
are big changes.

526
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:04,397
>>You can do something that'snot resourceful, over and over,

527
00:29:04,501 --> 00:29:06,158
as long as you do
it unconsciously.

528
00:29:06,261 --> 00:29:10,438
But if you do it withawareness, really watching,

529
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:13,682
knowing where it's going,
if it's not resourceful,

530
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:15,615
you cannot keep doing it.

531
00:29:15,719 --> 00:29:19,654
>>You have to spend some timeto release the conditioning

532
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,069
that you've been given.

533
00:29:21,173 --> 00:29:23,037
It's not an overnight process.

534
00:29:23,140 --> 00:29:27,041
Research shows it takes 30 daysof uninterrupted discipline

535
00:29:27,144 --> 00:29:28,628
to get a new habit
into your life.

536
00:29:28,732 --> 00:29:30,458
And that can be a new
habit of thinking,

537
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:32,943
a new habit of behavior,like flossing your teeth.

538
00:29:33,047 --> 00:29:34,876
It can be a new
paradigm you believe in.

539
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:36,913
And so if you hold
this new thought,

540
00:29:37,016 --> 00:29:39,881
if you do this new exercise,whatever it might be,

541
00:29:39,985 --> 00:29:42,366
to reclaim the
essence of who you are

542
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:44,644
and release all the negativeblocks that you've taken on

543
00:29:44,748 --> 00:29:47,233
over the years,
then you naturally

544
00:29:47,337 --> 00:29:48,407
step into who you are.

545
00:29:48,510 --> 00:29:50,340
You naturally express your gift.

546
00:29:50,443 --> 00:29:51,306
This is not hard.

547
00:29:51,410 --> 00:29:51,824
It's easy.

548
00:29:56,622 --> 00:29:58,348
>>A veil had been lifted.

549
00:29:58,451 --> 00:30:03,491
I could see that I hadnever truly chosen my life.

550
00:30:03,594 --> 00:30:05,631
I had been living
out of alignment

551
00:30:05,734 --> 00:30:10,325
with the spiritual
laws of the universe.

552
00:30:10,429 --> 00:30:13,087
Just behind the surface
of physical reality,

553
00:30:13,190 --> 00:30:17,056
the laws are alwaysflowing, always creating,

554
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,507
always interacting.

555
00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:24,926
I had to learn to focus myintention to connect with them.

556
00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:32,175
I started to realize that who Iam is an emerging possibility.

557
00:30:32,278 --> 00:30:33,935
There was an entire,
new direction

558
00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:37,283
that my life was taking, and Iwas just beginning to sense it.

559
00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:51,021
In the darkness of
night, one candle

560
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:54,093
can be seen from miles away.

561
00:30:54,197 --> 00:30:56,820
It was time for me to
light my own candle.

562
00:31:07,313 --> 00:31:09,660
I, myself, have been
on a consistent journey

563
00:31:09,764 --> 00:31:15,735
to uncover who I am, to getin touch with who I'm being.

564
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:18,980
I think I've walked the planetfor a long time as a very

565
00:31:19,084 --> 00:31:23,329
arrogant and self-centeredand righteous ass.

566
00:31:23,433 --> 00:31:28,576
And now that I know
that, I'm experiencing

567
00:31:28,679 --> 00:31:30,647
a little bit of
freedom around it.

568
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:33,822
So that has definitely
been the first step.

569
00:31:33,926 --> 00:31:37,309
The next step is to actually--is to actively seek out

570
00:31:37,412 --> 00:31:43,039
people and places
and masters of being,

571
00:31:43,142 --> 00:31:48,147
if you will, that can
coach me into a higher

572
00:31:48,251 --> 00:31:51,012
level of understanding
and consciousness,

573
00:31:51,116 --> 00:31:52,841
to be more present
to the gifts that

574
00:31:52,945 --> 00:31:56,500
are available in everymoment, every waking hour,

575
00:31:56,604 --> 00:31:57,881
and to breathe more.

576
00:31:57,985 --> 00:31:59,296
I've been breathing a lot more.

577
00:32:05,475 --> 00:32:05,889
Breathe.

578
00:32:27,048 --> 00:32:29,016
>>Then you want to
discover the gift

579
00:32:29,119 --> 00:32:32,709
that nature has given to you.

580
00:32:32,812 --> 00:32:37,507
First thing is we must
stop blaming ourself.

581
00:32:37,610 --> 00:32:42,305
Self-blame is the biggestobstruction for one

582
00:32:42,408 --> 00:32:45,204
to recognize one's gift.

583
00:32:45,308 --> 00:32:47,275
>>It'll stop you
every time from being

584
00:32:47,379 --> 00:32:50,002
able to live the life thatyou were meant to live.

585
00:32:50,106 --> 00:32:53,005
It's thoughts like,
who do I think I am?

586
00:32:53,109 --> 00:32:54,973
I'm not beautiful enough.

587
00:32:55,076 --> 00:32:56,422
I'm not smart enough.

588
00:32:56,526 --> 00:32:57,561
I'm not rich enough.

589
00:32:57,665 --> 00:32:58,631
I'm not educated enough.

590
00:32:58,735 --> 00:33:00,185
I'm not the right color.

591
00:33:00,288 --> 00:33:03,843
When you let those thingsdrive your life, they do.

592
00:33:07,295 --> 00:33:09,332
>>There's a reason why somepeople can't figure out

593
00:33:09,435 --> 00:33:10,505
what they want.

594
00:33:10,609 --> 00:33:13,025
And it's because, when
they were growing up,

595
00:33:13,129 --> 00:33:17,202
their parents never let themdecide on what they wanted.

596
00:33:17,305 --> 00:33:19,480
Every time they were aboutto decide on something they

597
00:33:19,583 --> 00:33:20,860
wanted, their parents
would jump in and say,

598
00:33:20,964 --> 00:33:22,552
no, no, no, you don't want that.

599
00:33:22,655 --> 00:33:23,725
You want this.

600
00:33:23,829 --> 00:33:26,832
Or you can't have that,
but you can have this.

601
00:33:26,935 --> 00:33:32,493
And they never allowed the childto experiment on small things,

602
00:33:32,596 --> 00:33:35,772
with wanting things, seeingwhat happens when you get them

603
00:33:35,875 --> 00:33:38,050
and seeing, perhaps
experimenting,

604
00:33:38,154 --> 00:33:39,810
with different ways
of getting them.

605
00:33:39,914 --> 00:33:42,606
And so when they grow up,they have no confidence.

606
00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:45,920
They don't trust theirown wanter, you might say.

607
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:47,197
Because they've never used it.

608
00:33:47,301 --> 00:33:49,475
Because every time theydecided to want something,

609
00:33:49,579 --> 00:33:51,857
somebody told them it waswrong or they couldn't have it

610
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,962
or there was some
reason no, no, no.

611
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,378
You don't want to
do it that way.

612
00:33:55,481 --> 00:33:58,243
>>Some people never get intothat passionate experience

613
00:33:58,346 --> 00:34:00,590
and know that
that's it for them.

614
00:34:00,693 --> 00:34:03,282
Because we find a
lot of people take

615
00:34:03,386 --> 00:34:07,286
on a life that's not theirown, at which they can never

616
00:34:07,390 --> 00:34:08,460
succeed.

617
00:34:08,563 --> 00:34:10,531
And what we mean by that
is they take on the life

618
00:34:10,634 --> 00:34:12,464
that their parents
planned for them,

619
00:34:12,567 --> 00:34:15,225
or they rebel against
the life their parents

620
00:34:15,329 --> 00:34:17,676
planned for them, dependingon their persuasion.

621
00:34:17,779 --> 00:34:19,056
By the way, it's not their life.

622
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:21,645
Or they took on a life
that the church decreed

623
00:34:21,748 --> 00:34:24,855
for them or the politic
decreed for them.

624
00:34:24,958 --> 00:34:26,478
They've never
really got in touch

625
00:34:26,581 --> 00:34:27,893
with their own experience.

626
00:34:31,552 --> 00:34:33,554
>>We all have very
different abilities.

627
00:34:33,657 --> 00:34:34,900
We have very different talents.

628
00:34:35,003 --> 00:34:36,556
We have very different gifts.

629
00:34:36,659 --> 00:34:40,802
And most school systems aredesigned to ignore them.

630
00:34:40,906 --> 00:34:43,322
But the problem is, with
the education system,

631
00:34:43,426 --> 00:34:44,978
is that it's a system.

632
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,946
And it's a system that's
based on the principles

633
00:34:47,050 --> 00:34:49,293
of manufacturing
and industrialism.

634
00:34:49,397 --> 00:34:51,018
The idea is if you
keep with the program

635
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:52,469
and you do everything
that's required of you,

636
00:34:52,572 --> 00:34:54,815
you'll pop out the far end,and you'll be qualified.

637
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,887
And you can carry
on and lead a life

638
00:34:56,991 --> 00:34:58,993
that will be
profitable and secure.

639
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:01,168
And none of that is true.

640
00:35:01,271 --> 00:35:04,171
And it's not true becausehuman life is not linear.

641
00:35:04,274 --> 00:35:06,311
Human life is organic.

642
00:35:06,414 --> 00:35:08,106
And human life is
not standardized.

643
00:35:08,209 --> 00:35:09,314
And it's not conformist.

644
00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:13,145
It's diverse and extraordinarilyrich and various.

645
00:35:13,249 --> 00:35:14,767
But for all kinds of
reasons, not least

646
00:35:14,871 --> 00:35:18,426
of which is education,
we're socialized

647
00:35:18,530 --> 00:35:20,221
into thinking that
certain types of ability

648
00:35:20,325 --> 00:35:22,465
are more important thanall other sorts of ability.

649
00:35:22,568 --> 00:35:24,743
And it's why so many peoplethink they don't have any.

650
00:35:24,846 --> 00:35:26,538
Because they don't
discover them.

651
00:35:29,437 --> 00:35:32,406
>>A lot of us
discount what we have

652
00:35:32,509 --> 00:35:35,133
to offer because we
can't see how it's

653
00:35:35,236 --> 00:35:38,964
going to make us money, or it'snot going to make us famous,

654
00:35:39,067 --> 00:35:41,622
or we're not going to getinvited to be on "Oprah."

655
00:35:41,725 --> 00:35:45,695
And so we feel like we'renot making a difference.

656
00:35:45,798 --> 00:35:49,008
Making a difference is
not about a project.

657
00:35:49,112 --> 00:35:53,875
It's the way you show up inthe world every single day.

658
00:35:53,979 --> 00:35:56,706
You are already
making a difference.

659
00:35:56,809 --> 00:35:59,398
Whether you know it or not,whether you like it or not,

660
00:35:59,502 --> 00:36:02,263
just by your presence,your vibrational presence

661
00:36:02,367 --> 00:36:04,231
is always making a difference.

662
00:36:04,334 --> 00:36:06,129
You made a difference
today, to everyone

663
00:36:06,233 --> 00:36:08,890
who saw you, felt
you, or heard you.

664
00:36:08,994 --> 00:36:12,929
So the question then is, whatkind of difference am I making?

665
00:36:13,032 --> 00:36:15,138
Don't measure it
in terms of money.

666
00:36:15,242 --> 00:36:17,244
Don't measure in terms of fame.

667
00:36:17,347 --> 00:36:19,453
Don't measure it in termsof even how many people

668
00:36:19,556 --> 00:36:20,523
you've affected.

669
00:36:20,626 --> 00:36:24,665
Shifting one person is sacred.

670
00:36:24,768 --> 00:36:30,740
>>If people looked for theirgift, they would find it.

671
00:36:30,843 --> 00:36:34,778
But the world has
mesmerized each of us

672
00:36:34,882 --> 00:36:37,402
to some extent and degree.

673
00:36:37,505 --> 00:36:40,508
It has hypnotized
us if you will.

674
00:36:40,612 --> 00:36:44,961
The world says power
is in status symbols.

675
00:36:45,064 --> 00:36:48,136
The power is in the positionthat you hold in the world.

676
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,932
The power is in what kindof automobile you drive,

677
00:36:51,036 --> 00:36:52,969
what kind ofneighborhood you live in.

678
00:36:53,072 --> 00:36:54,867
That's where the power is.

679
00:36:54,971 --> 00:36:56,835
The power is in the money.

680
00:36:56,938 --> 00:36:58,975
When the power is in you.

681
00:36:59,078 --> 00:37:00,252
And it's in me.

682
00:37:00,356 --> 00:37:02,116
It's always been there.

683
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:05,084
But you'll never
find it if your eyes

684
00:37:05,188 --> 00:37:09,054
are stuck on someone else'sgift on the television.

685
00:37:09,157 --> 00:37:12,644
If you're eyes are agaze
at someone else, who's

686
00:37:12,747 --> 00:37:15,750
living their dream, whatabout you and your dream?

687
00:37:18,443 --> 00:37:20,962
>>Choose in favor
of your passion.

688
00:37:21,066 --> 00:37:22,516
Choose in favor
of the things that

689
00:37:22,619 --> 00:37:24,587
have greatest meaning to you.

690
00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:26,105
Your passions are
like bread crumbs

691
00:37:26,209 --> 00:37:29,385
that lead you onto
the path of your gift.

692
00:37:29,488 --> 00:37:32,215
And know that every
moment is a choice.

693
00:37:32,319 --> 00:37:36,012
And you're either choosingcloser to your gift

694
00:37:36,115 --> 00:37:40,327
or moving farther away fromit, in every single moment.

695
00:37:40,430 --> 00:37:42,260
So what do you want to choose?

696
00:37:50,578 --> 00:37:52,511
>>The secret of
life is finding out

697
00:37:52,615 --> 00:37:55,134
what you love to do,
developing a deliberate

698
00:37:55,238 --> 00:37:56,860
practice to get
really good at it.

699
00:37:56,964 --> 00:37:58,690
And that's the foundationthat will lead you

700
00:37:58,793 --> 00:38:00,588
on a serendipitous
journey to riches

701
00:38:00,692 --> 00:38:02,832
beyond your wildest imagination.

702
00:38:02,935 --> 00:38:07,077
One of these days, you'llfind the thing to do.

703
00:38:07,181 --> 00:38:09,804
>>What you love and
are interested in

704
00:38:09,908 --> 00:38:12,151
is a clue to what your gift is.

705
00:38:12,255 --> 00:38:14,844
And what you love
will evolve as you do.

706
00:38:14,947 --> 00:38:16,742
But what I know
for each person is

707
00:38:16,846 --> 00:38:19,538
that there is, as unique
as our thumbprint,

708
00:38:19,642 --> 00:38:21,885
that wonderous
thing that is ours.

709
00:38:21,989 --> 00:38:23,887
And you will begin to findit by paying attention

710
00:38:23,991 --> 00:38:25,268
to what you love.

711
00:38:25,372 --> 00:38:28,236
And you'll notice, also, thatwhen you're in your gift,

712
00:38:28,340 --> 00:38:31,688
you feel more alive, you
feel more passionate,

713
00:38:31,792 --> 00:38:34,864
you feel as if I
was born for this.

714
00:38:37,936 --> 00:38:41,733
>>When you start to tap
into who you really are,

715
00:38:41,836 --> 00:38:44,114
you don't have to make
yourself be happy.

716
00:38:44,218 --> 00:38:45,806
You just get happy.

717
00:38:45,909 --> 00:38:48,878
You feel trusting.

718
00:38:48,981 --> 00:38:52,053
You feel like that
voice of the soul,

719
00:38:52,157 --> 00:38:56,541
as it starts to comethrough, is always perfect.

720
00:38:56,644 --> 00:38:59,060
It unveils your path for you.

721
00:38:59,164 --> 00:39:00,717
It brings you what you need.

722
00:39:00,821 --> 00:39:04,583
It connects you with
everyone you need.

723
00:39:04,687 --> 00:39:07,137
>>You know it's your giftwhen it's effortless.

724
00:39:07,241 --> 00:39:09,864
You know it's your
gift when it's natural,

725
00:39:09,968 --> 00:39:12,798
when it feels
beautiful and simple.

726
00:39:12,902 --> 00:39:15,076
And everybody
already knows that.

727
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:17,113
It's just a matter
of remembering.

728
00:39:17,216 --> 00:39:20,323
>>It's about finding
your true spirit.

729
00:39:20,427 --> 00:39:22,014
And you know you've
found it, in the way,

730
00:39:22,118 --> 00:39:24,500
because time changes for you.

731
00:39:24,603 --> 00:39:28,055
If you're doing somethingthat doesn't resonate properly

732
00:39:28,158 --> 00:39:31,403
with you, five minutes
can feel like an hour.

733
00:39:31,507 --> 00:39:33,923
But if you're doing
the thing that really

734
00:39:34,026 --> 00:39:37,444
is part of your being,
that is coming from you,

735
00:39:37,547 --> 00:39:40,032
then an hour can feel
like five minutes.

736
00:39:40,136 --> 00:39:43,484
>>As you activate your
gift into the world,

737
00:39:43,588 --> 00:39:46,970
you get that
momentum behind you.

738
00:39:47,074 --> 00:39:51,043
You never know what thelight has in store for you.

739
00:39:51,147 --> 00:39:54,771
You never know what thatmaximum level looks like.

740
00:39:54,875 --> 00:39:56,704
Because there is
no maximum level.

741
00:39:56,808 --> 00:40:00,328
It just keeps scaling up,higher and higher and higher.

742
00:40:00,432 --> 00:40:02,469
And you just keep touchingmore and more people.

743
00:40:02,572 --> 00:40:05,368
And that momentum and
that inspirational power

744
00:40:05,472 --> 00:40:07,163
keeps flowing through you.

745
00:40:07,266 --> 00:40:09,786
And then that drives you togo even deeper and deeper

746
00:40:09,890 --> 00:40:11,029
into your gift.

747
00:40:11,132 --> 00:40:14,308
And I believe that that
is the source of genius.

748
00:40:22,074 --> 00:40:25,215
>>At different
times in your life,

749
00:40:25,319 --> 00:40:28,495
you may have different
gifts to discover.

750
00:40:28,598 --> 00:40:30,704
Your gift, when
you're younger, might

751
00:40:30,807 --> 00:40:32,671
be that you're
going to be a mother

752
00:40:32,775 --> 00:40:35,536
and put all of your energyinto being a mother.

753
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,539
And the gift is of
love, of nurturing.

754
00:40:38,643 --> 00:40:42,612
At some point, because
we are individuals

755
00:40:42,716 --> 00:40:45,373
who are growing and changingand shifting all the time,

756
00:40:45,477 --> 00:40:48,238
whether we know it
or not, that gift

757
00:40:48,342 --> 00:40:51,138
might not feel big
enough for you anymore.

758
00:40:51,241 --> 00:40:52,829
You might have outgrown it.

759
00:40:52,933 --> 00:40:56,039
You might feel there'ssomething else calling to you.

760
00:40:56,143 --> 00:40:58,214
This can be a moment of alot of crisis for people,

761
00:40:58,317 --> 00:41:01,286
because we feel, but this
is what I chose to do.

762
00:41:01,389 --> 00:41:03,046
I wanted to be a full-time mom.

763
00:41:03,150 --> 00:41:04,669
Or I wanted to be a lawyer.

764
00:41:04,772 --> 00:41:06,947
Or I wanted to be an artist.

765
00:41:07,050 --> 00:41:09,156
Suddenly, it's
not fulfilling me.

766
00:41:09,259 --> 00:41:12,124
There's nothing wrong
with those moments.

767
00:41:12,228 --> 00:41:14,679
It means that you have shifted.

768
00:41:14,782 --> 00:41:17,405
You've morphed into
something else.

769
00:41:17,509 --> 00:41:20,857
And that based on the foundationof all that you've learned

770
00:41:20,961 --> 00:41:24,861
and all you've become, somethingmore is wanting to be born.

771
00:41:24,965 --> 00:41:27,623
These are times when we haveto be really courageous,

772
00:41:27,726 --> 00:41:32,248
sometimes let go of thingsthat we've defined ourself by,

773
00:41:32,351 --> 00:41:36,839
and be willing to be rebirthedinto someone and something new

774
00:41:36,942 --> 00:41:40,152
and discover the new
gift inside of you.

775
00:41:44,536 --> 00:41:46,676
>>If you've not
gotten that gift.

776
00:41:46,780 --> 00:41:49,023
If you're still looking
and searching out there,

777
00:41:49,127 --> 00:41:50,369
you've got to look
into your life

778
00:41:50,473 --> 00:41:52,855
and go, what would
I do no matter what?

779
00:41:52,958 --> 00:41:55,340
If the world blew up,
what would I do anyway?

780
00:41:55,443 --> 00:41:59,171
If I lost my family, what wouldI do, every day, for free?

781
00:41:59,275 --> 00:42:02,140
What would I do without
any remuneration?

782
00:42:02,243 --> 00:42:06,213
What would I do as
a nonprofit charity?

783
00:42:06,316 --> 00:42:08,629
And if you ask yourself
that question enough,

784
00:42:08,733 --> 00:42:13,323
and particularly if you meditateon that question long enough,

785
00:42:13,427 --> 00:42:17,845
I believe it's inevitablethat you will find your gift.

786
00:42:17,949 --> 00:42:19,329
>>I think the main
thing you could

787
00:42:19,433 --> 00:42:22,298
do to discover your own giftis to look inside and say

788
00:42:22,401 --> 00:42:24,507
what brings me the greatest joy?

789
00:42:24,611 --> 00:42:27,545
What has been the thing thatwhen I do it, I'm happiest?

790
00:42:27,648 --> 00:42:29,098
When you look at
what brings you joy,

791
00:42:29,201 --> 00:42:31,134
it takes you back intothe essence of who you are

792
00:42:31,238 --> 00:42:32,860
and what you're meant to do.

793
00:42:32,964 --> 00:42:34,828
It's easy to listen to
a rock and roll station.

794
00:42:34,931 --> 00:42:38,383
It's harder to hear yourbody, to hear your intuition,

795
00:42:38,486 --> 00:42:41,110
to hear God's voice, if youwill, speaking through you.

796
00:42:41,213 --> 00:42:44,182
It's always called thestill, small voice within.

797
00:42:44,285 --> 00:42:47,979
>>Specific practices
to find your gift-- one

798
00:42:48,082 --> 00:42:50,809
would be practice more solitude.

799
00:42:50,913 --> 00:42:53,778
Many people are afraid tobe alone with themselves.

800
00:42:53,881 --> 00:42:56,056
But it is in the
silence of your own soul

801
00:42:56,159 --> 00:42:58,299
that your inner voice speaks.

802
00:42:58,403 --> 00:43:01,199
And you're able
to hear and follow

803
00:43:01,302 --> 00:43:05,997
the voice as it directs you

804
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:09,725
>>Solitude will take you places.

805
00:43:09,828 --> 00:43:15,454
Go into the woods, go andbathe yourself in the stream.

806
00:43:15,558 --> 00:43:17,042
Listen to the birds sing.

807
00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:24,567
Go to the ocean waves
and just hear the music.

808
00:43:24,671 --> 00:43:27,328
The world, the universe
is talking to you.

809
00:43:31,505 --> 00:43:33,783
>>Another specific
that you can do

810
00:43:33,887 --> 00:43:39,755
is to practice loving yourself,giving yourself permission

811
00:43:39,858 --> 00:43:44,173
to live your dreams, giveyourself permission to be well,

812
00:43:44,276 --> 00:43:47,176
give yourself
permission to be OK,

813
00:43:47,279 --> 00:43:51,836
give yourself permission tobe forgiven for past mistakes,

814
00:43:51,939 --> 00:43:54,701
give yourself permission
to start over.

815
00:43:54,804 --> 00:43:56,875
All of these are acts of love.

816
00:44:02,191 --> 00:44:05,263
>>I'm in Rome, and I'm on thephone with my sister, Shajen.

817
00:44:05,366 --> 00:44:06,713
Look.

818
00:44:06,816 --> 00:44:09,163
So I get a call from
my sister, Shajen.

819
00:44:09,267 --> 00:44:10,820
And it was a pretty
profound call,

820
00:44:10,924 --> 00:44:14,306
because what she
said was, when is

821
00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:17,793
the work you're doing
in the world going

822
00:44:17,896 --> 00:44:19,933
to match the man I know?

823
00:44:20,036 --> 00:44:22,452
When's that going to happen?

824
00:44:22,556 --> 00:44:26,318
Because you're reallygood at blowing things up.

825
00:44:26,422 --> 00:44:28,976
And I know you have a
lot of fun doing it,

826
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:33,740
but it's not a match
for who you've become.

827
00:44:33,843 --> 00:44:36,846
And, you know, it
was a great question.

828
00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:38,330
And I really had
to think about it.

829
00:44:38,434 --> 00:44:39,746
And she was right.

830
00:44:39,849 --> 00:44:42,610
Because on one level, I wasover here making the Hollywood

831
00:44:42,714 --> 00:44:48,030
movies and trying so hard
to get something that

832
00:44:48,133 --> 00:44:51,999
was all about the next,biggest thing I could do.

833
00:44:52,103 --> 00:44:56,003
It wasn't about who I was being.

834
00:44:56,107 --> 00:44:57,384
And suddenly I had my answer.

835
00:44:57,487 --> 00:44:59,835
It was right in front of me.

836
00:44:59,938 --> 00:45:02,527
It had been there
the entire time.

837
00:45:02,630 --> 00:45:07,290
So my purpose is clear, toshare all these amazing people

838
00:45:07,394 --> 00:45:11,432
and the things that I've learnedwith the rest of the world.

839
00:45:11,536 --> 00:45:12,882
I'm just one of
many people that's

840
00:45:12,986 --> 00:45:16,817
experiencing this awakening,this rise in consciousness.

841
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:42,429
>>As we activate our potential,bliss, ecstasy, happiness,

842
00:45:42,532 --> 00:45:45,363
and joy is in the
giving of the gift.

843
00:45:45,466 --> 00:45:47,745
Because my priority is sharing.

844
00:45:47,848 --> 00:45:49,505
My priority is giving.

845
00:45:49,608 --> 00:45:51,438
My priority is
releasing life energy.

846
00:45:51,541 --> 00:45:53,751
My priority is radiating.

847
00:45:53,854 --> 00:45:56,270
So my priority isn't getting.

848
00:45:56,374 --> 00:45:57,824
Because if I go
to getting, now I

849
00:45:57,927 --> 00:46:00,102
resist the very
thing that I want.

850
00:46:00,205 --> 00:46:06,211
So I'm on, now, a precipiceof becoming more myself.

851
00:46:06,315 --> 00:46:08,110
I'm available to more
good than I've ever

852
00:46:08,213 --> 00:46:10,664
imagined to come
forward in my life.

853
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:14,737
And I'm not under the illusionthat I know what that good is.

854
00:46:14,841 --> 00:46:18,189
Now, transformation can occur.

855
00:46:18,292 --> 00:46:20,053
And we always know
it's transformation

856
00:46:20,156 --> 00:46:21,882
because it surprises us.

857
00:46:21,986 --> 00:46:24,367
If it doesn't surprise you,it's not transformation.

858
00:46:24,471 --> 00:46:27,785
>>When you start to
use your gift to serve,

859
00:46:27,888 --> 00:46:30,442
magic happens in your life.

860
00:46:30,546 --> 00:46:32,893
It's greater than you
could have imagined.

861
00:46:32,997 --> 00:46:36,897
It's like a soloist
becoming part of a band.

862
00:46:37,001 --> 00:46:39,831
And you're part of a wholechoir of angels that are also

863
00:46:39,935 --> 00:46:41,971
in the same vibration right now.

864
00:46:42,075 --> 00:46:44,940
The more you give, the morethings come back to you.

865
00:46:45,043 --> 00:46:46,596
And then it becomes
what you really

866
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:49,116
desire is more
opportunities to give.

867
00:46:49,220 --> 00:46:51,222
And if that's what
you're wanting--

868
00:46:51,325 --> 00:46:52,602
that's what you're
really wanting

869
00:46:52,706 --> 00:46:56,710
is to serve and support,you find yourself in Iraq.

870
00:47:02,578 --> 00:47:06,271
You find yourself makingmusic in an ancient culture.

871
00:47:06,375 --> 00:47:09,171
One of the most spiritual
feelings I've ever felt

872
00:47:09,274 --> 00:47:11,518
is that connection
between people I thought

873
00:47:11,621 --> 00:47:13,451
were my enemies and myself.

874
00:47:23,116 --> 00:47:26,602
Well working in Iraq for
the last three years,

875
00:47:26,705 --> 00:47:28,259
when we would start
the drum circle,

876
00:47:28,362 --> 00:47:30,917
people often came
from different parts

877
00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:32,504
of Iraq, different
language groups

878
00:47:32,608 --> 00:47:34,230
and different religious groups.

879
00:47:34,334 --> 00:47:37,233
So there would be an
initial resistance.

880
00:47:37,337 --> 00:47:42,169
And you could see the layersof resistance falling off

881
00:47:42,273 --> 00:47:42,929
people's shoulders.

882
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:52,939
And pretty soon,
over time, everyone

883
00:47:53,042 --> 00:47:55,562
came together playing
their own part,

884
00:47:55,665 --> 00:47:57,564
not making my music
or their music,

885
00:47:57,667 --> 00:48:00,636
but coming together and formingsomething new, a new song.

886
00:48:00,739 --> 00:48:04,260
And everyone was just playingoff each other's energy.

887
00:48:04,364 --> 00:48:08,299
I think it's a great metaphorfor a beautiful way to live.

888
00:48:14,753 --> 00:48:17,722
There is a duet that's beingcalled out in our culture

889
00:48:17,825 --> 00:48:20,621
right now, in our world.

890
00:48:20,725 --> 00:48:23,072
To have the gift of
traveling the world

891
00:48:23,176 --> 00:48:27,111
and interacting with peoplethrough music and sharing,

892
00:48:27,214 --> 00:48:29,803
really, our heartvibrations across the world,

893
00:48:29,907 --> 00:48:32,633
it gives me great hope
for peace on the planet.

894
00:48:40,089 --> 00:48:41,711
>>See anything we
do in our life,

895
00:48:41,815 --> 00:48:44,611
we do either expecting
some sort of happiness

896
00:48:44,714 --> 00:48:49,547
or we do as an
expression of joy.

897
00:48:49,650 --> 00:48:53,275
To shift from this positionof expecting something

898
00:48:53,378 --> 00:48:58,004
to sharing what you can withthe world, with the people

899
00:48:58,107 --> 00:49:00,972
around you, makes
all the difference.

900
00:49:21,027 --> 00:49:22,683
>>My name is Tatanka Mani.

901
00:49:22,787 --> 00:49:24,547
It means Walking Buffalo.

902
00:49:24,651 --> 00:49:26,653
My birth name is Andrew.

903
00:49:26,756 --> 00:49:29,552
I'm a sundancer
and a pipe carrier

904
00:49:29,656 --> 00:49:32,555
and a ceremonial leader
and just a common man.

905
00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:42,807
People say that the gift
I have is to help people

906
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:46,155
learn about themselves.

907
00:49:46,259 --> 00:49:50,815
However, I did choose
to live a life that

908
00:49:50,918 --> 00:49:55,923
enhances that so that
it can be given back

909
00:49:56,027 --> 00:49:58,996
in a appropriate way,
in a respectful way,

910
00:49:59,099 --> 00:50:03,448
and in a traditional way, in away that only does good things.

911
00:50:03,552 --> 00:50:06,900
Because we can't only
take in this world.

912
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,730
We always have to give back.

913
00:50:09,834 --> 00:50:11,974
True gifts are the ones
that we receive and give

914
00:50:12,078 --> 00:50:16,289
back to the world inwhatever way is necessary.

915
00:50:16,392 --> 00:50:18,843
It doesn't mean as much
if we just hold on to it

916
00:50:18,946 --> 00:50:20,189
and keep it to ourselves.

917
00:50:24,676 --> 00:50:28,577
It's often hard andchallenging to walk that line,

918
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,097
to continually
work on these gifts

919
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,857
that each person is given.

920
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:37,137
I think a lot of peoplearen't willing to do that.

921
00:50:37,241 --> 00:50:39,588
>>Why aren't people
willing to do that?

922
00:50:39,691 --> 00:50:40,416
>>Because it's hard.

923
00:50:53,671 --> 00:50:55,086
>>It's that commitment
to excellence

924
00:50:55,190 --> 00:50:58,158
that forces us to grow and thatcommitment to not backing away

925
00:50:58,262 --> 00:51:01,437
when it's tough that thereal satisfaction, the deeper

926
00:51:01,541 --> 00:51:03,301
satisfaction comes from.

927
00:51:03,405 --> 00:51:06,718
And it's the giving of our giftwhere the fulfillment comes.

928
00:51:06,822 --> 00:51:09,825
When you're out there servingand people are receiving it

929
00:51:09,928 --> 00:51:11,965
and you've had to workhard to make that happen,

930
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:15,279
and then it justblossoms in its fullness.

931
00:51:15,382 --> 00:51:17,074
I don't think it gets
any better than that.

932
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:28,775
>>Here we are at
Refugio Altiplano.

933
00:51:28,878 --> 00:51:30,880
I'm Scott Peterson.

934
00:51:30,984 --> 00:51:33,331
I've lived here
for 12 years now.

935
00:51:33,435 --> 00:51:36,576
I run a shamanic healingcenter and integrative medicine

936
00:51:36,679 --> 00:51:39,924
center, where we healpeople with natural means.

937
00:51:40,027 --> 00:51:44,066
People come to us from all overthe world for healing purposes,

938
00:51:44,170 --> 00:51:46,551
for guidance, and
also for learning.

939
00:51:46,655 --> 00:51:49,175
And a lot of the
people, these days,

940
00:51:49,278 --> 00:51:52,592
are insulated from their
own spiritual lives.

941
00:51:52,695 --> 00:51:56,458
We have very little freetime, very little recreation.

942
00:51:56,561 --> 00:51:58,632
We have very little
time to be alone.

943
00:51:58,736 --> 00:52:01,532
They're constantly
under the influence

944
00:52:01,635 --> 00:52:04,500
of television,
antidepressant drugs,

945
00:52:04,604 --> 00:52:06,916
of very abrasive
people around them

946
00:52:07,020 --> 00:52:09,160
on a regular and constant basis.

947
00:52:09,264 --> 00:52:12,370
And when they strip offthese negative influences,

948
00:52:12,474 --> 00:52:15,511
they inevitably will takea certain transition period

949
00:52:15,615 --> 00:52:19,550
to come back into a state
of homeostasis and calm.

950
00:52:19,653 --> 00:52:21,517
But from there, they
can begin to grow

951
00:52:21,621 --> 00:52:25,003
in a very positive
and real direction.

952
00:52:25,107 --> 00:52:27,351
If you want to create apositive environment that

953
00:52:27,454 --> 00:52:30,906
reflects your inner and higherself, what you have to do

954
00:52:31,009 --> 00:52:35,842
is you have to always giveenergy to the things you like

955
00:52:35,945 --> 00:52:41,986
and always take energy awayfrom the things you don't like.

956
00:52:42,089 --> 00:52:43,746
>>So when we're
giving, we're coming

957
00:52:43,850 --> 00:52:45,438
from a premise of abundance.

958
00:52:45,541 --> 00:52:49,235
And that creates the spacefor even more abundance

959
00:52:49,338 --> 00:52:50,891
to flow into our lives.

960
00:52:50,995 --> 00:52:54,826
There's nothing that you givethat you won't experience.

961
00:52:54,930 --> 00:52:58,761
It's like if you give someonea smile, you're smiling.

962
00:52:58,865 --> 00:53:01,316
You are feeling a smile.

963
00:53:01,419 --> 00:53:03,110
Or if you give them
the gift of laughter,

964
00:53:03,214 --> 00:53:05,182
you're the one that's laughing.

965
00:53:05,285 --> 00:53:07,839
Or if you give the
gift of love, you're

966
00:53:07,943 --> 00:53:12,223
feeling the love, becauseit's flowing through you.

967
00:53:12,327 --> 00:53:14,984
And as it flows through you,it's like it comes back.

968
00:53:15,088 --> 00:53:18,988
It's in the giving
that we receive.

969
00:53:19,092 --> 00:53:22,164
>>It's especially importantfor all people, men and women,

970
00:53:22,268 --> 00:53:26,479
to acknowledge the warriorside of their being.

971
00:53:26,582 --> 00:53:30,068
Because when you don't
acknowledge that side,

972
00:53:30,172 --> 00:53:33,762
it comes out in unhealthy ways.

973
00:53:33,865 --> 00:53:35,833
>>The ingestation of
pizza manifestation--

974
00:53:35,936 --> 00:53:37,179
>>As much pizza as possible.

975
00:53:37,283 --> 00:53:38,836
>>All right, let's go, pizza.

976
00:53:42,149 --> 00:53:43,012
You ready?

977
00:53:43,116 --> 00:53:43,496
>>Ready.

978
00:53:46,740 --> 00:53:47,845
>>Yeah, bang it up.

979
00:53:47,948 --> 00:53:49,847
Go.

980
00:53:49,950 --> 00:53:51,676
I look at anybody
famous or anyone

981
00:53:51,780 --> 00:53:53,678
who's achieved their goal.

982
00:53:53,782 --> 00:53:58,027
They weren't that
when they were born.

983
00:53:58,131 --> 00:54:02,342
Your left side's
dipping just a touch.

984
00:54:02,446 --> 00:54:05,690
Somewhere along the
line, they conceived

985
00:54:05,794 --> 00:54:08,072
it, this vision of
themselves, whether it

986
00:54:08,175 --> 00:54:09,867
was singing or dancing
or playing football

987
00:54:09,970 --> 00:54:12,041
or whatever it is.

988
00:54:12,145 --> 00:54:15,010
Then they believed
they could do it.

989
00:54:15,113 --> 00:54:17,461
And once you got
that belief-- and I

990
00:54:17,564 --> 00:54:19,014
think that's where
people get stuck.

991
00:54:19,117 --> 00:54:20,118
They conceive.

992
00:54:20,222 --> 00:54:21,982
They have a conception
of what they like.

993
00:54:22,086 --> 00:54:24,640
But they don't believethat they can achieve it.

994
00:54:24,744 --> 00:54:26,124
And that little
block, right there,

995
00:54:26,228 --> 00:54:28,092
in between first
and second gear,

996
00:54:28,195 --> 00:54:31,060
stays inside for their
whole, entire lives.

997
00:54:31,164 --> 00:54:32,717
And if you were to
talk to them when

998
00:54:32,821 --> 00:54:34,719
they were 80 or 90
or 100 years old

999
00:54:34,823 --> 00:54:36,583
and they're lying
on their deathbed,

1000
00:54:36,687 --> 00:54:38,309
they're not going
to say, I'm glad I

1001
00:54:38,413 --> 00:54:41,139
stayed in this little shelland never bursted out.

1002
00:54:41,243 --> 00:54:42,555
They're going to wish.

1003
00:54:42,658 --> 00:54:45,351
They're just going to say,phh, I should have done that.

1004
00:54:45,454 --> 00:54:46,490
Now why didn't I do that?

1005
00:54:46,593 --> 00:54:49,182
I could've done it.

1006
00:54:49,286 --> 00:54:52,358
In fact, the word
"inspire" literally

1007
00:54:52,461 --> 00:54:55,153
means to breathe in spirit.

1008
00:54:55,257 --> 00:54:58,674
Because you could do this for anhour in the morning or an hour

1009
00:54:58,778 --> 00:55:01,056
at night and carry
that spirit with you

1010
00:55:01,159 --> 00:55:03,023
for a very, very long time.

1011
00:55:03,127 --> 00:55:05,232
And I think that a
person who is truly

1012
00:55:05,336 --> 00:55:10,445
in-spirit through inspirationcan accomplish anything

1013
00:55:10,548 --> 00:55:13,171
they want and can
easily manifest anything

1014
00:55:13,275 --> 00:55:15,035
that they're trying to manifest.

1015
00:55:20,178 --> 00:55:23,009
>>Discovering your
gift is one thing.

1016
00:55:23,112 --> 00:55:25,805
Living it, that
is something else.

1017
00:55:29,636 --> 00:55:33,502
It requires as much focusand dedication as anything

1018
00:55:33,606 --> 00:55:34,469
I've ever done.

1019
00:55:37,575 --> 00:55:41,199
It is a challenge to
every fiber of my being

1020
00:55:41,303 --> 00:55:43,374
to be in service to
what I am becoming.

1021
00:55:47,102 --> 00:55:51,313
The more I studied andmeditated on sharing my gifts,

1022
00:55:51,417 --> 00:55:54,937
the more I realized that theuniversal, spiritual laws

1023
00:55:55,041 --> 00:55:57,837
I had experienced
were continuing

1024
00:55:57,940 --> 00:56:01,288
to unfold within my being.

1025
00:56:01,392 --> 00:56:04,671
And once again, I awakenedto this unified field

1026
00:56:04,775 --> 00:56:07,881
of awareness, where
everything was connected

1027
00:56:07,985 --> 00:56:12,507
in perfect vibrationalharmony with everything else.

1028
00:56:12,610 --> 00:56:16,200
As I became open and receptive
to this infinite loop

1029
00:56:16,303 --> 00:56:21,101
of energy, I realized thatthe more I shared my gifts,

1030
00:56:21,205 --> 00:56:24,829
the more it inspired othersto share their gifts.

1031
00:56:24,933 --> 00:56:28,143
I was feeding them, and
they were feeding me.

1032
00:56:28,246 --> 00:56:33,493
There was a universal,spiritual principle at work,

1033
00:56:33,597 --> 00:56:35,633
the infinity feedback
loop of creation.

1034
00:56:43,434 --> 00:56:46,195
>>Giving a gift is part
of the sacred process

1035
00:56:46,299 --> 00:56:50,337
of sustaining the communityand sharing the wealth.

1036
00:56:50,441 --> 00:56:52,995
And I believe that's
really what lies

1037
00:56:53,099 --> 00:56:55,584
behind this idea of
discovering your gift.

1038
00:56:55,688 --> 00:56:57,483
You're not discovering
it just for yourself,

1039
00:56:57,586 --> 00:56:59,381
but you're discovering
your gift so you

1040
00:56:59,485 --> 00:57:01,003
can offer to other people.

1041
00:57:01,107 --> 00:57:02,902
And that, in offering
it to other people,

1042
00:57:03,005 --> 00:57:04,766
you are building
a stronger sense

1043
00:57:04,869 --> 00:57:06,595
of community between
yourself and the people

1044
00:57:06,699 --> 00:57:08,321
that we share the Earth with.

1045
00:57:08,425 --> 00:57:10,288
It's part ofcontributing to and being

1046
00:57:10,392 --> 00:57:12,429
part of the commonwealth
of humanity.

1047
00:57:12,532 --> 00:57:16,087
And in that respect,discovering your own gifts

1048
00:57:16,191 --> 00:57:18,745
is an act of being
selfless as well as

1049
00:57:18,849 --> 00:57:19,850
one of fulfilling yourself.

1050
00:57:25,303 --> 00:57:27,340
>>Art has always been a gift.

1051
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:29,825
And that's one of the reasonswhy we place such a high value

1052
00:57:29,929 --> 00:57:32,449
on paintings,
because they reveal

1053
00:57:32,552 --> 00:57:35,624
what's inside,
what's underneath.

1054
00:57:35,728 --> 00:57:38,627
One of the gifts you have asan artist is you feel more.

1055
00:57:38,731 --> 00:57:40,387
You see more.

1056
00:57:40,491 --> 00:57:42,942
You connect more.

1057
00:57:43,045 --> 00:57:46,393
One of the most importantmoments of my life

1058
00:57:46,497 --> 00:57:49,673
is when I started to
discover my own gift.

1059
00:57:49,776 --> 00:57:52,952
Once my heart was
open and I began

1060
00:57:53,055 --> 00:57:56,403
to discover that I was to bean artist, after spending all

1061
00:57:56,507 --> 00:58:01,236
my adult life in business, itwas a profound realization.

1062
00:58:01,339 --> 00:58:03,963
And when I looked back intime-- it's been 20 years now--

1063
00:58:04,066 --> 00:58:09,002
I am so grateful
that I didn't stay

1064
00:58:09,106 --> 00:58:11,211
in what I thought
when I was young.

1065
00:58:11,315 --> 00:58:14,629
And I wanted to be anarchitect or a business owner.

1066
00:58:14,732 --> 00:58:17,597
I wasn't stuck or marriedto that for my whole life.

1067
00:58:17,701 --> 00:58:22,050
I began to change anddiscover who and what I was.

1068
00:58:22,153 --> 00:58:25,363
So one of my jobs, as ateacher and as an artist,

1069
00:58:25,467 --> 00:58:29,126
is to introduce people to theheart and the heart chakra.

1070
00:58:29,229 --> 00:58:31,508
And I haven't found a
better way to practice

1071
00:58:31,611 --> 00:58:35,132
opening your heart than inthe process of painting.

1072
00:58:37,997 --> 00:58:43,796
>>I decided to sell our verypopular restaurant in Whistler

1073
00:58:43,899 --> 00:58:50,630
and pursue my dreams
and work with children

1074
00:58:50,734 --> 00:58:53,012
in the arts and crafts field.

1075
00:58:53,115 --> 00:59:01,814
I have over 200 childrenthat want to do art with me.

1076
00:59:01,917 --> 00:59:04,506
I've never been so
poor financially,

1077
00:59:04,610 --> 00:59:06,922
but I've never been
so rich in my heart.

1078
00:59:07,026 --> 00:59:09,856
It's filled the void.

1079
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,687
Because we were never
able to have children.

1080
00:59:20,626 --> 00:59:22,455
And now I have more
children in my life

1081
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,457
than anyone could ever ask for.

1082
00:59:27,529 --> 00:59:32,499
And I hope to bring thismandala back for the children

1083
00:59:32,603 --> 00:59:38,229
to see that their art
never has to be perfect,

1084
00:59:38,333 --> 00:59:41,439
that their are mistakes in here.

1085
00:59:41,543 --> 00:59:45,651
And I know they'll love it.

1086
00:59:45,754 --> 00:59:47,791
You can never have
too many sparkles.

1087
00:59:47,894 --> 00:59:49,689
[laughter]

1088
00:59:54,073 --> 00:59:55,799
>>There's something
here, but you

1089
00:59:55,902 --> 00:59:59,009
can't get to it
through the mind.

1090
00:59:59,112 --> 01:00:00,631
You have to get to
it through the heart.

1091
01:00:56,687 --> 01:01:01,347
>>Everything on this planet isactually just a certain kind

1092
01:01:01,450 --> 01:01:06,455
of vibration, vibratingmolecules, vibrating particles.

1093
01:01:06,559 --> 01:01:08,009
This is physics.

1094
01:01:08,112 --> 01:01:10,425
I'm talking about
spiritual physics here.

1095
01:01:10,528 --> 01:01:15,257
And you are actuallyjust a vibrational being.

1096
01:01:15,361 --> 01:01:19,399
We are actually all vibrationalbeings before anything else.

1097
01:01:19,503 --> 01:01:21,781
>>We call ourself human
beings not human doings,

1098
01:01:21,885 --> 01:01:24,232
because what we're reallybringing into any situation

1099
01:01:24,335 --> 01:01:26,406
is the quality of our being.

1100
01:01:26,510 --> 01:01:29,996
And so when we're being loving,when we're being inclusive,

1101
01:01:30,100 --> 01:01:33,724
when we're being expressive,when we're being joyful,

1102
01:01:33,828 --> 01:01:36,209
that creates a vibration.

1103
01:01:36,313 --> 01:01:39,143
And that vibration is whatwe're really expressing.

1104
01:01:39,247 --> 01:01:42,802
It's the quality of the energy,the enthusiasm or lack of it,

1105
01:01:42,906 --> 01:01:45,840
the love or lack of it,
the anger or lack of it

1106
01:01:45,943 --> 01:01:48,912
that really has the most impact.

1107
01:01:49,015 --> 01:01:52,053
>>When you show
up, who shows up?

1108
01:01:52,156 --> 01:01:53,710
It doesn't matter
what you're thinking.

1109
01:01:53,813 --> 01:01:55,746
It doesn't matter whatyou want to say to people.

1110
01:01:55,850 --> 01:01:58,059
What's going to happen isthey're going to feel you.

1111
01:01:58,162 --> 01:01:59,888
They're going to feel
everything that you've

1112
01:01:59,992 --> 01:02:02,097
brought into that moment.

1113
01:02:02,201 --> 01:02:04,168
And we can call
that your vibration.

1114
01:02:10,002 --> 01:02:14,972
If that vibration has
black, if it has anger,

1115
01:02:15,076 --> 01:02:19,943
if it has resentment, if ithas shame, if it has emotions--

1116
01:02:20,046 --> 01:02:23,532
and all emotions are really justvibrations-- if it has emotions

1117
01:02:23,636 --> 01:02:26,501
that are not vibrating
at the highest

1118
01:02:26,604 --> 01:02:30,332
place, an expansive
place, you will actually

1119
01:02:30,436 --> 01:02:33,094
push away things that aretrying to come to you.

1120
01:02:33,197 --> 01:02:35,959
You will actually
attract things that

1121
01:02:36,062 --> 01:02:41,274
are vibrating with those
emotions of contracted

1122
01:02:41,378 --> 01:02:41,792
feelings.

1123
01:02:45,037 --> 01:02:47,764
>>You need to look
in the mirror.

1124
01:02:47,867 --> 01:02:50,111
You need to look
inside your own being

1125
01:02:50,214 --> 01:02:57,118
to discover where you're off inyour vibe, where your anger is

1126
01:02:57,221 --> 01:03:01,225
or where your despair isor where your cynicism lies

1127
01:03:01,329 --> 01:03:03,055
or where your resignation is.

1128
01:03:03,158 --> 01:03:07,922
And until you can begin to cometo terms with your own being,

1129
01:03:08,025 --> 01:03:10,476
it's going to be
difficult for you

1130
01:03:10,579 --> 01:03:14,514
to be able to return thatvibration to the world.

1131
01:03:14,618 --> 01:03:17,586
>>There's a principal in musiccalled sympathetic vibration.

1132
01:03:17,690 --> 01:03:20,244
So that when I play
my drum, another drum

1133
01:03:20,348 --> 01:03:22,695
is actually vibrating
at that same pitch.

1134
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:25,698
And it will be played,without anyone touching it.

1135
01:03:25,802 --> 01:03:29,564
When we hear a pulse, we
can't help but join it.

1136
01:03:29,667 --> 01:03:30,945
Because, really,
the principle is

1137
01:03:31,048 --> 01:03:33,119
that life wants to harmonize.

1138
01:03:33,223 --> 01:03:37,261
Every beat, every note wemake is felt somewhere.

1139
01:03:37,365 --> 01:03:42,094
>>We're simply a vibrationheld together into this form.

1140
01:03:42,197 --> 01:03:45,097
And we're able to
express ourselves

1141
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,341
and to experienceconsciousness, to experience

1142
01:03:48,445 --> 01:03:52,449
this tactile world, to
eat, to love, to laugh,

1143
01:03:52,552 --> 01:03:55,935
to raise families, to
create grand edifices,

1144
01:03:56,039 --> 01:03:58,282
to have art, music.

1145
01:03:58,386 --> 01:03:59,387
It's extraordinary.

1146
01:03:59,490 --> 01:04:01,354
[music playing]

1147
01:04:55,753 --> 01:04:57,963
>>The whole world is vibrations.

1148
01:04:58,066 --> 01:05:00,379
Everything is vibrations.

1149
01:05:00,482 --> 01:05:04,831
And when happy and peaceful,calm vibration emits from us,

1150
01:05:04,935 --> 01:05:08,042
it draws similar
situations around us.

1151
01:05:08,145 --> 01:05:11,010
When we connect with
the universal presence,

1152
01:05:11,114 --> 01:05:17,948
you know, then our life becomesa fertilized expression of joy.

1153
01:05:18,052 --> 01:05:20,847
>>Your life is just a mirror.

1154
01:05:20,951 --> 01:05:22,746
So when you put yourattention on those things

1155
01:05:22,849 --> 01:05:24,748
that you're passionate
about, and then

1156
01:05:24,851 --> 01:05:27,268
when you start to align withthose things, what you find

1157
01:05:27,371 --> 01:05:30,098
is that the doors start toopen, the people, the places,

1158
01:05:30,202 --> 01:05:32,307
or things start to show up.

1159
01:05:32,411 --> 01:05:35,483
And you become what Icall a passionate magnet.

1160
01:05:35,586 --> 01:05:40,315
It's just synchronicityjust starts to align itself.

1161
01:05:40,419 --> 01:05:42,800
>>We vibrate things
into our life.

1162
01:05:42,904 --> 01:05:44,388
We vibrate things out.

1163
01:05:44,492 --> 01:05:46,494
We vibrate people in.

1164
01:05:46,597 --> 01:05:48,461
We vibrate people out.

1165
01:05:48,565 --> 01:05:50,636
We vibrate opportunities in.

1166
01:05:50,739 --> 01:05:54,985
So how do we become a
positive, vibrational

1167
01:05:55,089 --> 01:05:57,954
being as opposed to
just a positive thinker?

1168
01:05:58,057 --> 01:06:01,164
It means cleaning out ourvibration of everything

1169
01:06:01,267 --> 01:06:05,720
that is not serving us, raisingour vibration with love,

1170
01:06:05,823 --> 01:06:10,242
with all the things thatwe know expand us and make

1171
01:06:10,345 --> 01:06:15,972
us feel that we're vibrating
at a higher frequency.

1172
01:06:16,075 --> 01:06:18,802
>>You can either match
fear, out in the world,

1173
01:06:18,905 --> 01:06:21,943
and lower your
frequency, or you can

1174
01:06:22,047 --> 01:06:25,636
stay in touch with your ownkind of preferred state, where

1175
01:06:25,740 --> 01:06:28,915
you feel good and
happy, and stay in that.

1176
01:06:29,019 --> 01:06:32,678
It's like strike your
tuning fork and whoo.

1177
01:06:32,781 --> 01:06:35,992
And once you choose your
tone, let's call it,

1178
01:06:36,095 --> 01:06:39,098
your life starts to becreated out of that tone.

1179
01:06:39,202 --> 01:06:42,136
If you choose a low one,you get a low-level life,

1180
01:06:42,239 --> 01:06:44,138
with a lot of
snags and problems.

1181
01:06:44,241 --> 01:06:47,486
If you raise up and moveinto the higher frequencies,

1182
01:06:47,589 --> 01:06:51,800
you get a new
understanding of reality

1183
01:06:51,904 --> 01:06:53,319
where everything's
much more unified.

1184
01:06:59,567 --> 01:07:03,019
>>Now that I was awarethat this infinity feedback

1185
01:07:03,122 --> 01:07:06,194
loop was always
happening, I didn't

1186
01:07:06,298 --> 01:07:08,783
understand how thecircumstances of my life,

1187
01:07:08,886 --> 01:07:11,303
that I perceived
to be the greatest

1188
01:07:11,406 --> 01:07:14,582
challenges or the
biggest obstacles,

1189
01:07:14,685 --> 01:07:16,411
were actually for my own good.

1190
01:07:19,725 --> 01:07:22,797
If I was creating
my own reality,

1191
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:28,147
why did I keep creating
things I didn't want.

1192
01:07:28,251 --> 01:07:33,670
If the feedback loop isfeeding me pain and adversity,

1193
01:07:33,773 --> 01:07:36,052
then what am I feeding into it?

1194
01:07:52,758 --> 01:07:57,694
>>Some of you are goingthrough some very dark times.

1195
01:07:57,797 --> 01:08:00,455
You don't see a way out.

1196
01:08:00,559 --> 01:08:02,664
Your back is against
the proverbial wall.

1197
01:08:02,768 --> 01:08:05,840
You're at your wit's end.

1198
01:08:05,943 --> 01:08:07,600
You don't know what to do.

1199
01:08:07,704 --> 01:08:09,775
Some of you are insituations that are chronic.

1200
01:08:09,878 --> 01:08:13,779
You've been in this
tough place for so long

1201
01:08:13,882 --> 01:08:15,298
that you think it's
your lot in life.

1202
01:08:27,032 --> 01:08:28,827
>>One of the greatest
challenges I experienced

1203
01:08:28,932 --> 01:08:30,346
was the death of my mother.

1204
01:08:30,451 --> 01:08:33,523
There's no doubt about that.

1205
01:08:33,626 --> 01:08:34,869
Is there really a gift in this?

1206
01:08:34,971 --> 01:08:39,115
Is there really a blessingin my mom passing?

1207
01:08:39,218 --> 01:08:40,564
Can I find where she is now?

1208
01:08:40,667 --> 01:08:42,842
Because really, we know
that she's in the heart.

1209
01:08:42,946 --> 01:08:45,085
I knew she was in my heart.

1210
01:08:45,190 --> 01:08:49,849
But to go to that place, toactually find her there, as

1211
01:08:49,952 --> 01:08:52,093
opposed to looking for
her on the outside, that

1212
01:08:52,197 --> 01:08:53,818
was one of the greatest
challenges I ever

1213
01:08:53,922 --> 01:08:56,201
had in my life.

1214
01:08:56,304 --> 01:08:58,961
Because energy or matterisn't created or destroyed.

1215
01:08:59,065 --> 01:09:00,343
All of us are energy.

1216
01:09:00,446 --> 01:09:01,723
We know that we're existing now.

1217
01:09:01,827 --> 01:09:04,761
Right here, in this moment,this experience is a gift.

1218
01:09:04,863 --> 01:09:07,764
And this is what
exists right now.

1219
01:09:07,867 --> 01:09:09,041
And my mother is here.

1220
01:09:09,145 --> 01:09:10,146
She's here in this moment.

1221
01:09:10,249 --> 01:09:11,285
She's present.

1222
01:09:11,388 --> 01:09:13,113
Because everything is
present in every moment.

1223
01:09:13,218 --> 01:09:14,874
So the greatest
gift I got out of it

1224
01:09:14,978 --> 01:09:19,120
was getting past the
illusion that there's

1225
01:09:19,224 --> 01:09:21,639
a death and a life
that are separate.

1226
01:09:25,575 --> 01:09:30,994
>>Loss is the most difficultthing to go through.

1227
01:09:31,096 --> 01:09:34,273
I lost someone very
important to me.

1228
01:09:34,377 --> 01:09:38,035
He was my best friend.

1229
01:09:38,139 --> 01:09:39,139
Life is good.

1230
01:09:39,244 --> 01:09:40,072
It's beautiful.

1231
01:09:40,175 --> 01:09:42,074
But you have to
know how to live.

1232
01:09:46,216 --> 01:09:49,392
One thing I could
learn about this,

1233
01:09:49,495 --> 01:09:56,157
that I'm going to live mylife and enjoy each moment.

1234
01:09:56,261 --> 01:10:01,197
We don't know where we aregoing to leave this place.

1235
01:10:01,300 --> 01:10:02,577
You don't know.

1236
01:10:02,681 --> 01:10:04,200
We have to love.

1237
01:10:04,303 --> 01:10:07,064
We have to forgive.

1238
01:10:07,168 --> 01:10:09,584
We have to be patient.

1239
01:10:09,688 --> 01:10:14,520
We have to be connected,to try to be a good person.

1240
01:10:25,151 --> 01:10:27,809
>>My grandfather,
Tata-- well, Tata

1241
01:10:27,913 --> 01:10:29,984
means grandfather in Polish.

1242
01:10:30,087 --> 01:10:31,882
I always thought Tata
was his real name

1243
01:10:31,986 --> 01:10:34,126
until I was old enough toknow that Icek was actually

1244
01:10:34,230 --> 01:10:35,438
his name.

1245
01:10:35,541 --> 01:10:38,612
My grandfather had recentlyundergone a triple bypass

1246
01:10:38,717 --> 01:10:40,305
at the age of 84.

1247
01:10:40,407 --> 01:10:41,927
And things didn't go well.

1248
01:10:42,030 --> 01:10:44,273
And he was going to die soon.

1249
01:10:44,378 --> 01:10:45,689
And I walked into the room.

1250
01:10:45,793 --> 01:10:47,933
And I saw my grandfather there.

1251
01:10:48,036 --> 01:10:50,349
And he looked at
me and he smiled.

1252
01:10:50,452 --> 01:10:54,284
And in that moment, Iunderstood that this man,

1253
01:10:54,388 --> 01:10:59,184
this extraordinary man wasnever going to leave that room,

1254
01:10:59,289 --> 01:11:01,360
was never going
to leave that bed.

1255
01:11:01,464 --> 01:11:05,157
I said, look, you know,
I know you're dying.

1256
01:11:05,261 --> 01:11:07,710
And he goes, yeah.

1257
01:11:07,815 --> 01:11:12,889
And what is the one thing
you want me to know,

1258
01:11:12,992 --> 01:11:16,858
that you want me to
tell my grandchildren.

1259
01:11:16,962 --> 01:11:20,276
And he said, wow.

1260
01:11:20,379 --> 01:11:24,245
He goes, well, I'll
tell you a story.

1261
01:11:24,349 --> 01:11:30,630
Back in World War II,
I was a young soldier.

1262
01:11:30,734 --> 01:11:35,014
And I had your grandmother,Dora, who you never met.

1263
01:11:35,118 --> 01:11:37,809
And she was pregnant
with your father.

1264
01:11:37,914 --> 01:11:41,366
We were walking, on
foot, in the snow.

1265
01:11:41,469 --> 01:11:43,540
And we got to a field hospital.

1266
01:11:43,644 --> 01:11:47,026
And in this field hospital,in front of the advancing

1267
01:11:47,130 --> 01:11:52,480
Nazi army, your grandmothergave birth to your father.

1268
01:11:52,584 --> 01:11:56,726
And I realized that, if westayed there, we would die.

1269
01:11:56,829 --> 01:12:00,695
So I stole a Jeep and food.

1270
01:12:00,799 --> 01:12:03,664
And I drove as far
away as I could.

1271
01:12:03,767 --> 01:12:08,702
And when the Jeep ran out ofgas and when we ran out of food,

1272
01:12:08,807 --> 01:12:10,947
we walked in the snow.

1273
01:12:11,050 --> 01:12:14,778
But there came a time whenwe couldn't walk anymore,

1274
01:12:14,882 --> 01:12:18,368
when we couldn't
take another step.

1275
01:12:18,472 --> 01:12:19,369
And I'll never forget.

1276
01:12:19,473 --> 01:12:21,233
I was in a snowstorm.

1277
01:12:21,337 --> 01:12:24,892
I was carrying Dora on myback and your infant father

1278
01:12:24,995 --> 01:12:26,583
in my arms.

1279
01:12:26,687 --> 01:12:31,036
And I thought that maybe, if Ijust rested for a little while,

1280
01:12:31,139 --> 01:12:33,003
I could get up and go again.

1281
01:12:33,107 --> 01:12:36,248
The truth is I was passing
one person after another

1282
01:12:36,352 --> 01:12:41,287
that had stopped and diedin the place they stopped.

1283
01:12:41,391 --> 01:12:43,635
And I looked down at
your infant father, who

1284
01:12:43,737 --> 01:12:47,190
was dying of
pneumonia, by the way,

1285
01:12:47,293 --> 01:12:50,227
and I looked into his eyes.

1286
01:12:50,331 --> 01:12:58,132
And I said to him, one dayyour son will know no war.

1287
01:12:58,235 --> 01:13:01,100
But today, you have
to do your part.

1288
01:13:01,204 --> 01:13:04,138
You have to live
through the night.

1289
01:13:04,241 --> 01:13:06,657
And I will keep going.

1290
01:13:06,761 --> 01:13:11,110
Because I knew, if I
stopped, I would die.

1291
01:13:11,214 --> 01:13:12,318
And he wouldn't live.

1292
01:13:12,422 --> 01:13:13,665
And you wouldn't exist.

1293
01:13:16,702 --> 01:13:20,775
And the one thing
that I'm most proud of

1294
01:13:20,879 --> 01:13:25,366
is that I kept my promisethat night to your father.

1295
01:13:25,469 --> 01:13:27,644
And here you are.

1296
01:13:27,748 --> 01:13:29,646
And who you are
to me is my heart.

1297
01:13:33,925 --> 01:13:35,928
I left my grandfather
that night,

1298
01:13:36,032 --> 01:13:40,416
and I never saw him again.

1299
01:13:40,519 --> 01:13:42,969
So many people,
all over the world,

1300
01:13:43,073 --> 01:13:46,422
have made so many
sacrifices, literally

1301
01:13:46,525 --> 01:13:50,287
have given their life, so thattheir family or this planet

1302
01:13:50,391 --> 01:13:54,188
could have an
opportunity to discover

1303
01:13:54,291 --> 01:13:59,296
the gifts within themselvesand to experience

1304
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:00,608
the richness of life.

1305
01:14:03,853 --> 01:14:06,027
That's what matters.

1306
01:14:06,130 --> 01:14:06,889
That's what matters.

1307
01:14:18,592 --> 01:14:21,422
>>Just by being willing to lookfor the gift in a situation,

1308
01:14:21,526 --> 01:14:23,459
my being changes.

1309
01:14:23,562 --> 01:14:28,498
And it is our job is to identifythe goodness that is occurring.

1310
01:14:28,602 --> 01:14:33,607
It is serving our awakeningto the powerful co-creators

1311
01:14:33,710 --> 01:14:34,677
that we are.

1312
01:14:34,780 --> 01:14:36,955
Every single thing
that is occurring

1313
01:14:37,058 --> 01:14:38,370
is serving that purpose.

1314
01:14:38,474 --> 01:14:40,510
That's the only thing that'shappening in all of creation.

1315
01:14:44,652 --> 01:14:49,001
>>I recently discovered
I had prostate cancer.

1316
01:14:49,105 --> 01:14:51,556
And it was an initial shock.

1317
01:14:51,659 --> 01:14:56,940
And I have to tell thattriggered a series of the most

1318
01:14:57,044 --> 01:15:04,189
extraordinarily wonderful
events and experiences--

1319
01:15:04,291 --> 01:15:07,364
new friendships, a
closeness between myself

1320
01:15:07,468 --> 01:15:10,575
and my wife of 20 years thatjust keeps getting better.

1321
01:15:10,678 --> 01:15:12,956
And we'd often thought itcouldn't get any better.

1322
01:15:13,059 --> 01:15:14,682
But it does.

1323
01:15:14,786 --> 01:15:15,821
It just has been amazing.

1324
01:15:18,514 --> 01:15:22,241
But it took looking
for the blessing in it.

1325
01:15:22,344 --> 01:15:24,623
So that's the ultimate
accountability,

1326
01:15:24,727 --> 01:15:26,591
ultimate responsibility.

1327
01:15:26,693 --> 01:15:28,800
Am I going to look for
the goodness in things

1328
01:15:28,903 --> 01:15:30,905
or am I going to look forthe darkness in things.

1329
01:15:31,009 --> 01:15:31,699
And that's a choice.

1330
01:15:43,710 --> 01:15:46,576
>>Just the idea of havinga great many different

1331
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,923
experiences in your
life, to be able to have

1332
01:15:49,027 --> 01:15:52,719
those experiences-- positive,negative, happy, sad,

1333
01:15:52,824 --> 01:15:57,862
suffering, celebratory-- and tobe able to acknowledge that you

1334
01:15:57,967 --> 01:15:59,313
are experiencing
them, that you're

1335
01:15:59,416 --> 01:16:02,350
grateful for those experiencesand learning from them,

1336
01:16:02,454 --> 01:16:06,527
to see every experience assomething that you can value

1337
01:16:06,630 --> 01:16:09,702
and take with you that Godmay be trying to teach you

1338
01:16:09,806 --> 01:16:14,052
or also that God wants you toexperience as part of the gift

1339
01:16:14,155 --> 01:16:16,572
that you are as a human being.

1340
01:16:16,675 --> 01:16:18,952
>>I'm going to let thetruck behind you back up.

1341
01:16:19,057 --> 01:16:20,886
>>But that's a positive
experience, too,

1342
01:16:20,990 --> 01:16:23,889
having that truck backing upbehind you, ruining your movie.

1343
01:16:23,993 --> 01:16:24,959
You can learn from that.

1344
01:16:25,063 --> 01:16:26,547
You can learn to have
a different angle.

1345
01:16:31,034 --> 01:16:34,866
>>When something that could bea crisis or a tragedy shows up,

1346
01:16:34,969 --> 01:16:38,282
instead of it's a problem,what if it's for me?

1347
01:16:38,386 --> 01:16:40,285
That's the way I find the gift.

1348
01:16:40,388 --> 01:16:42,598
I ask, what if this is for me?

1349
01:16:42,701 --> 01:16:45,290
And immediately
that shifts my focus

1350
01:16:45,393 --> 01:16:51,883
from problem to solution andpositive possibility and even,

1351
01:16:51,986 --> 01:16:53,022
oh boy.

1352
01:16:53,125 --> 01:16:57,612
So simply by saying,
what if this is for me,

1353
01:16:57,716 --> 01:17:00,407
all of a sudden, I've
got a better feeling.

1354
01:17:00,512 --> 01:17:01,893
I don't have this
crisis anymore.

1355
01:17:08,313 --> 01:17:11,454
>>I was going to divorce
my husband, the father

1356
01:17:11,557 --> 01:17:13,007
of my child, the
man I love and have

1357
01:17:13,111 --> 01:17:15,838
chosen to spend my life with.

1358
01:17:15,941 --> 01:17:17,494
And we were really
having a hard time.

1359
01:17:20,670 --> 01:17:23,431
I didn't tell most peoplehow much pain I was in.

1360
01:17:23,535 --> 01:17:26,400
But I had been dealing andstruggling with a back injury

1361
01:17:26,503 --> 01:17:30,093
that I had had many years ago,from a job related incident.

1362
01:17:30,197 --> 01:17:33,718
And the more struggle we had inour relationship, the more pain

1363
01:17:33,821 --> 01:17:36,306
I started to be in physically.

1364
01:17:36,410 --> 01:17:41,173
That energy manifested in avery negative way in my body.

1365
01:17:41,277 --> 01:17:43,313
So for me, it showed
up as a lot of pain,

1366
01:17:43,416 --> 01:17:44,625
a lot of emotional pain.

1367
01:17:44,728 --> 01:17:46,869
It showed up as physical pain.

1368
01:17:46,972 --> 01:17:48,698
My back ended up going out.

1369
01:17:48,802 --> 01:17:50,112
I got back surgery.

1370
01:17:50,217 --> 01:17:54,531
There was all sorts of ways thatme not honoring my true voice

1371
01:17:54,635 --> 01:17:56,602
and my husband not
honoring his true voice

1372
01:17:56,706 --> 01:17:57,673
showed up in our lives.

1373
01:18:00,330 --> 01:18:02,298
And I think that was
one of the biggest life

1374
01:18:02,401 --> 01:18:03,851
adversities I've
ever come up against.

1375
01:18:11,548 --> 01:18:13,689
>>My sister, Shajen,
and her husband,

1376
01:18:13,791 --> 01:18:17,865
Cherif, had been goingthrough a very difficult time.

1377
01:18:17,969 --> 01:18:21,041
Their marriage
was falling apart.

1378
01:18:21,144 --> 01:18:23,975
They were deeply in
love with each other,

1379
01:18:24,077 --> 01:18:26,840
but they were not
living a life that

1380
01:18:26,943 --> 01:18:30,153
honored the gifts that
they were for each other

1381
01:18:30,257 --> 01:18:31,809
or for the world.

1382
01:18:31,914 --> 01:18:34,261
>>My husband wasstruggling finding himself,

1383
01:18:34,364 --> 01:18:36,677
finding his path, his goal.

1384
01:18:36,781 --> 01:18:40,163
And I saw his greatness, butI didn't see him accessing it.

1385
01:18:40,267 --> 01:18:40,992
>>I was lost.

1386
01:18:41,094 --> 01:18:43,235
I had lost my passion.

1387
01:18:43,339 --> 01:18:47,067
I wasn't happy with the wayI was or what I was doing.

1388
01:18:47,170 --> 01:18:48,482
I wasn't happy with my marriage.

1389
01:18:48,585 --> 01:18:50,277
I wasn't happy with my life.

1390
01:18:50,380 --> 01:18:52,555
And I didn't know
how to get out of it.

1391
01:18:52,657 --> 01:18:55,178
>>They were stuck,
blaming each other,

1392
01:18:55,282 --> 01:18:59,286
not in alignment with thespiritual laws of the universe.

1393
01:18:59,389 --> 01:19:02,013
>>I had forgotten
my childhood dream.

1394
01:19:02,116 --> 01:19:04,670
I'd let it go.

1395
01:19:04,773 --> 01:19:08,260
And it was eating away at me.

1396
01:19:08,364 --> 01:19:10,297
It all stemmed from having fear.

1397
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,851
I was really afraid.

1398
01:19:12,955 --> 01:19:16,612
So in essence, I washiding behind this facade

1399
01:19:16,717 --> 01:19:22,171
that, if I didn't go for mydreams, then I wouldn't fail.

1400
01:19:22,273 --> 01:19:26,139
So I decided to let it die.

1401
01:19:26,244 --> 01:19:29,246
>>I was surprised to learnthat Cherif's dream had always

1402
01:19:29,350 --> 01:19:31,939
been to come to Hollywood andwork in the movie business.

1403
01:19:32,043 --> 01:19:36,495
He even had a filmcompany set up in Morocco

1404
01:19:36,599 --> 01:19:39,740
20 years before we
ever met each other.

1405
01:19:39,844 --> 01:19:43,123
So I did something
rather dramatic.

1406
01:19:43,226 --> 01:19:45,263
I explained to Cherif
that I had to hire

1407
01:19:45,366 --> 01:19:47,713
a new VP for my company.

1408
01:19:47,817 --> 01:19:51,130
And I have to hire
that person today.

1409
01:19:51,234 --> 01:19:53,443
That was a Thursday.

1410
01:19:53,547 --> 01:19:55,273
I offered him the job.

1411
01:19:55,376 --> 01:19:57,793
But I said, if you
accept the job,

1412
01:19:57,896 --> 01:20:00,071
you have to pack
your bags, you have

1413
01:20:00,174 --> 01:20:05,007
to leave your wife and child,move to California on Saturday,

1414
01:20:05,110 --> 01:20:07,492
so that you can be in thebusiness meetings, with me,

1415
01:20:07,594 --> 01:20:09,425
on Monday.

1416
01:20:09,528 --> 01:20:12,255
>>I couldn't believe that I wasbeing offered the thing that I

1417
01:20:12,359 --> 01:20:16,501
was really dreamingabout for all of my life.

1418
01:20:16,603 --> 01:20:20,436
I had a big, steep
learning curve.

1419
01:20:20,539 --> 01:20:22,576
But I was passionate
about filmmaking,

1420
01:20:22,679 --> 01:20:27,305
so the learning actually
came really easy.

1421
01:20:27,407 --> 01:20:31,136
I was finally in
alignment with my gift.

1422
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:32,550
>>I think the thing
I want to tell

1423
01:20:32,655 --> 01:20:34,830
people is there is a thingcalled transformation.

1424
01:20:34,933 --> 01:20:38,005
I mean it literally
means to transcend

1425
01:20:38,109 --> 01:20:41,871
the limitations ordinarilyimposed by form.

1426
01:20:41,975 --> 01:20:44,253
But it's not a light switch.

1427
01:20:44,356 --> 01:20:46,807
You can become really
good at anything

1428
01:20:46,911 --> 01:20:48,947
that matters to you if
you're willing to do

1429
01:20:49,050 --> 01:20:52,537
the work, anything.

1430
01:20:52,639 --> 01:20:56,437
>>My sister, Shajen, hadalways wanted to write books,

1431
01:20:56,541 --> 01:20:59,199
to be an author.

1432
01:20:59,302 --> 01:21:02,996
In truth, she'd been writingas long as I could remember.

1433
01:21:03,099 --> 01:21:04,237
>>It's always been my passion.

1434
01:21:04,342 --> 01:21:06,482
I've loved writing
since I was young.

1435
01:21:06,585 --> 01:21:08,864
And I always
wondered, deep inside,

1436
01:21:08,967 --> 01:21:11,659
how I'd get my realfeelings out to the world

1437
01:21:11,763 --> 01:21:13,282
and how do I share them?

1438
01:21:13,385 --> 01:21:16,457
But I was so afraid to
put my voice on paper,

1439
01:21:16,561 --> 01:21:17,700
to put my words down.

1440
01:21:17,803 --> 01:21:19,736
And I doubted myself.

1441
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,532
I doubted who I was, if anyonewould care what I had to say.

1442
01:21:23,637 --> 01:21:26,467
And it always seemed really
big for me and too big

1443
01:21:26,571 --> 01:21:28,607
for me to even accomplish,so why even try?

1444
01:21:31,645 --> 01:21:37,133
>>Forget the word "can't"and just take a step.

1445
01:21:37,237 --> 01:21:39,998
It might not even be
in the right direction.

1446
01:21:40,102 --> 01:21:42,414
But you won't know
that until you

1447
01:21:42,518 --> 01:21:46,246
get to that step and thenthe next step and then

1448
01:21:46,349 --> 01:21:47,592
the next step.

1449
01:21:47,695 --> 01:21:48,764
Take a step.

1450
01:21:48,869 --> 01:21:49,456
It's all it is.

1451
01:21:52,562 --> 01:21:56,255
>>And when I sat down to write"Discover the Gift," at first

1452
01:21:56,359 --> 01:21:59,466
I thought, oh no, what
am I going to say?

1453
01:21:59,568 --> 01:22:01,295
How do I do this?

1454
01:22:01,398 --> 01:22:03,746
And then I thought, OK,I know the key to writing

1455
01:22:03,849 --> 01:22:04,643
is just writing.

1456
01:22:04,746 --> 01:22:07,059
So just write, Shajen, write.

1457
01:22:07,163 --> 01:22:10,132
Once I took that
one step, that fear

1458
01:22:10,235 --> 01:22:13,859
that had been keeping me backfor so long was relinquished.

1459
01:22:13,963 --> 01:22:15,931
And all of a sudden, I wasat this different place

1460
01:22:16,034 --> 01:22:21,384
with myself, really living mygift, really being who I am.

1461
01:22:21,487 --> 01:22:24,732
What happened was that theauthentic me showed up.

1462
01:22:24,835 --> 01:22:25,664
And I'm so grateful.

1463
01:22:32,982 --> 01:22:35,674
>>And so she drove
across country

1464
01:22:35,778 --> 01:22:38,781
and began to write "Discoverthe Gift," the book,

1465
01:22:38,884 --> 01:22:44,889
and to co-produce the movie,with me, alongside her husband.

1466
01:22:44,994 --> 01:22:48,584
Both of them now fully
and actively engaged

1467
01:22:48,687 --> 01:22:50,448
in their gifts.

1468
01:22:50,550 --> 01:22:55,280
>>When I started valuing myown self, my heart, my time,

1469
01:22:55,384 --> 01:23:00,596
my dream, it was like I cameout of a cave and finally,

1470
01:23:00,699 --> 01:23:04,634
finally started living in light.

1471
01:23:04,737 --> 01:23:09,501
Shajen and I just started havinganother level of relationship.

1472
01:23:09,605 --> 01:23:11,641
It was amazing.

1473
01:23:11,745 --> 01:23:15,921
>>Getting space and us gettingto be with ourselves, choosing

1474
01:23:16,025 --> 01:23:19,097
ourselves and then having thespace to choose each other,

1475
01:23:19,201 --> 01:23:20,547
saved our marriage.

1476
01:23:20,650 --> 01:23:23,550
And when I look back now, Igiggle, because I think, wow,

1477
01:23:23,653 --> 01:23:27,692
that was so hard, but
yet it was so easy.

1478
01:23:27,795 --> 01:23:32,559
>>The process isn't strategyor fighting or forcing

1479
01:23:32,662 --> 01:23:34,594
or controlling or trying harder.

1480
01:23:34,699 --> 01:23:38,530
The process is relaxing
into it, going inside

1481
01:23:38,634 --> 01:23:41,223
and following that
inner direction.

1482
01:23:41,326 --> 01:23:42,914
Because what I think
I want out there

1483
01:23:43,018 --> 01:23:44,916
may not be for my highest good.

1484
01:23:45,020 --> 01:23:48,126
And I've got to get
really good at listening

1485
01:23:48,230 --> 01:23:51,335
to this inner direction, evenwhen it takes me someplace

1486
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:53,718
that isn't what I think I want.

1487
01:23:53,821 --> 01:23:55,271
I need to surrender to that.

1488
01:23:55,375 --> 01:23:56,928
I need to recognize
what shows up there.

1489
01:23:57,032 --> 01:23:58,102
I need to cooperate with it.

1490
01:23:58,205 --> 01:24:00,242
And I need to let
go of the other

1491
01:24:00,344 --> 01:24:01,726
and see if I can flow with this.

1492
01:24:01,829 --> 01:24:05,523
And when I do, it's
amazingly easy.

1493
01:24:05,626 --> 01:24:07,076
When I don't, it's hard.

1494
01:24:15,119 --> 01:24:20,020
>>When I was 19, I was
abducted and beaten

1495
01:24:20,124 --> 01:24:22,091
and repeatedly raped.

1496
01:24:22,195 --> 01:24:25,991
And the most unusual
thing happened

1497
01:24:26,094 --> 01:24:27,993
in the midst of that experience.

1498
01:24:28,097 --> 01:24:33,620
I found this feeling
of safety emerging.

1499
01:24:33,723 --> 01:24:34,966
The logic seems crazy.

1500
01:24:35,070 --> 01:24:40,351
But my thought was, if I
could live through this,

1501
01:24:40,454 --> 01:24:43,043
I could live through anything.

1502
01:24:43,147 --> 01:24:46,253
I didn't know if theywere going to let me live

1503
01:24:46,357 --> 01:24:47,875
or if they would kill me.

1504
01:24:47,978 --> 01:24:53,157
And when I realized that, Ihad this profound revelation,

1505
01:24:53,260 --> 01:24:57,782
not like some lofty conceptbut as an actual experience.

1506
01:24:57,885 --> 01:25:01,234
I got that who I
am is not my body.

1507
01:25:01,337 --> 01:25:03,270
Even if I didn't
make it out of there,

1508
01:25:03,374 --> 01:25:05,686
I would make it out of there.

1509
01:25:05,790 --> 01:25:09,932
And in that moment, thispreviously unthinkable act

1510
01:25:10,035 --> 01:25:14,730
turned into this gift
that I held in my heart.

1511
01:25:14,833 --> 01:25:17,733
Life recontextualizes itself.

1512
01:25:17,835 --> 01:25:23,221
And the moment I named that asa gift, my past was different.

1513
01:25:23,325 --> 01:25:26,190
And the future
truly became a space

1514
01:25:26,293 --> 01:25:28,709
where anything was possible.

1515
01:25:28,813 --> 01:25:30,780
And forever since,
I've felt safe.

1516
01:25:51,698 --> 01:25:53,941
>>We have a new
kind of evolution.

1517
01:25:54,045 --> 01:25:56,668
It's called conscious
and participatory,

1518
01:25:56,772 --> 01:25:59,154
which means right here andright now, at this second,

1519
01:25:59,257 --> 01:26:05,781
beginning with our own life,we can change, we can shift,

1520
01:26:05,884 --> 01:26:11,096
we can grow and become
who we're meant to be.

1521
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:15,549
Nothing can determine our growthand unfoldment and happiness

1522
01:26:15,653 --> 01:26:16,516
except for ourselves.

1523
01:26:19,277 --> 01:26:22,452
>>Commitment for
a better society

1524
01:26:22,556 --> 01:26:25,628
should rise within
each one of us.

1525
01:26:25,732 --> 01:26:31,082
Technology which has madethe globe into a village.

1526
01:26:31,186 --> 01:26:35,259
And it is spirituality which isgoing to make it into a family.

1527
01:26:35,362 --> 01:26:37,295
>>It can't just be a few
political spokespeople

1528
01:26:37,398 --> 01:26:38,262
saying it.

1529
01:26:38,365 --> 01:26:39,228
It has to be
filmmakers saying it.

1530
01:26:39,332 --> 01:26:40,609
It has to be
scientists saying it.

1531
01:26:40,712 --> 01:26:42,023
It has to be corporate
execs saying it.

1532
01:26:42,127 --> 01:26:43,335
It has to be parents saying it.

1533
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,787
It has to be whatever
you do, that you

1534
01:26:46,891 --> 01:26:51,378
are so passionate about thepossibility of what could be,

1535
01:26:51,482 --> 01:26:53,518
that you get that
life is a gift and you

1536
01:26:53,621 --> 01:26:54,692
get that it's not guaranteed.

1537
01:26:58,903 --> 01:27:01,630
>>It just takes one
person's awakening

1538
01:27:01,733 --> 01:27:04,219
to elevate theconsciousness of a family.

1539
01:27:04,322 --> 01:27:06,151
It just takes one
person's awakening

1540
01:27:06,255 --> 01:27:09,948
to elevate the consciousnessof a company or of a community.

1541
01:27:10,052 --> 01:27:12,054
And then it has
that ripple effect.

1542
01:27:33,178 --> 01:27:35,629
>>You can't, in a
way, promote states

1543
01:27:35,733 --> 01:27:38,874
of being that you,yourself, don't understand.

1544
01:27:38,977 --> 01:27:44,120
You can't promote world
peace if you are angry.

1545
01:27:44,224 --> 01:27:46,433
As Gandhi said, you
have to be the change.

1546
01:27:46,537 --> 01:27:48,055
It begins with your
own transformation.

1547
01:27:54,407 --> 01:27:56,616
>>I was beginning
to find my balance

1548
01:27:56,719 --> 01:27:58,652
with the spiritual
laws of the universe.

1549
01:28:01,517 --> 01:28:05,590
They were like different
colors of the rainbow,

1550
01:28:05,693 --> 01:28:10,181
each beautiful by itself,but joined together,

1551
01:28:10,285 --> 01:28:13,288
they shine as a
single white light

1552
01:28:13,391 --> 01:28:16,083
illuminating everything
and everyone.

1553
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:26,508
I feel the laws flowingthrough me like a river, now,

1554
01:28:26,611 --> 01:28:32,686
with a strong but steadycurrent washing the resistance

1555
01:28:32,790 --> 01:28:34,378
to my own existence away.

1556
01:28:38,865 --> 01:28:42,455
>>It's like the rolling
stones in the water.

1557
01:28:42,558 --> 01:28:43,697
Water flows.

1558
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:46,148
It doesn't stop because
there is a stone.

1559
01:28:46,251 --> 01:28:47,701
It flows over it.

1560
01:28:47,805 --> 01:28:52,534
And in due course, it evenshapes the stone, itself.

1561
01:28:52,637 --> 01:28:56,883
It just needs a little
perseverance, patience,

1562
01:28:56,986 --> 01:29:03,889
and conviction that lovewins and will always win.

1563
01:29:03,993 --> 01:29:08,688
>>I had the unique experience
to die at one time.

1564
01:29:08,791 --> 01:29:13,209
I was in a car accident
and pronounced dead.

1565
01:29:13,313 --> 01:29:17,455
I had the experience
of being everything,

1566
01:29:17,559 --> 01:29:23,392
of experiencing all theimportant people in my life,

1567
01:29:23,496 --> 01:29:27,362
whether they were
alive or had passed on.

1568
01:29:27,465 --> 01:29:31,952
And I had time to talkwith them and be with them.

1569
01:29:32,056 --> 01:29:36,300
And it seemed like it wasdays that I was experiencing.

1570
01:29:36,405 --> 01:29:39,201
I also experienced
being the ocean.

1571
01:29:39,304 --> 01:29:41,790
I was a drop of the ocean.

1572
01:29:41,893 --> 01:29:45,725
But then a drop of the
ocean is the ocean.

1573
01:29:45,827 --> 01:29:47,865
And then there was light.

1574
01:29:47,968 --> 01:29:49,936
And I was part of the light.

1575
01:29:50,039 --> 01:29:52,076
And everyone that
I had talked to

1576
01:29:52,179 --> 01:29:55,493
and been with during thattime was part of the light.

1577
01:29:55,597 --> 01:29:57,012
And it was beautiful.

1578
01:29:57,115 --> 01:29:58,531
And it was full of joy.

1579
01:29:58,634 --> 01:30:02,293
And there was no judgement.

1580
01:30:02,397 --> 01:30:06,366
All there was was love,beautiful, magnificent, all

1581
01:30:06,469 --> 01:30:08,817
encompassing love.

1582
01:30:32,047 --> 01:30:35,602
>>Agape means
unconditional love.

1583
01:30:35,706 --> 01:30:38,709
It's a love that cannot
be done with the mind.

1584
01:30:38,812 --> 01:30:41,366
It's a love that takes usover when our heart is open.

1585
01:30:41,469 --> 01:30:43,782
And we discover there's
no boundary between us,

1586
01:30:43,886 --> 01:30:47,959
that it's all about love, andit's all about forgiveness,

1587
01:30:48,063 --> 01:30:49,374
and that the
universe doesn't have

1588
01:30:49,478 --> 01:30:52,895
one ounce of retribution in it.

1589
01:30:52,999 --> 01:30:53,862
All it has is love.

1590
01:30:53,965 --> 01:30:56,554
It's just a unified
field of love.

1591
01:30:56,657 --> 01:30:57,624
>>Think about it.

1592
01:30:57,728 --> 01:30:58,969
When you're around
someone who's loving,

1593
01:30:59,074 --> 01:31:00,972
do they have to say
anything to you?

1594
01:31:01,076 --> 01:31:03,665
You just feel their energy.

1595
01:31:03,768 --> 01:31:06,253
Their goodness just overflows.

1596
01:31:06,357 --> 01:31:08,014
There's really only
one law, and it's

1597
01:31:08,117 --> 01:31:12,501
the law of love that
makes me one with you,

1598
01:31:12,605 --> 01:31:15,987
with them, with the people onthe other side of the globe,

1599
01:31:16,091 --> 01:31:18,576
with everyone everywhere.

1600
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:22,338
And when you find love,
you've found everything.

1601
01:31:25,721 --> 01:31:28,862
>>It's this continual
state of being,

1602
01:31:28,966 --> 01:31:31,589
so it's about doing
that in our work

1603
01:31:31,693 --> 01:31:34,592
and then bringing
that into your moment

1604
01:31:34,696 --> 01:31:37,492
to moment interactions
and connections

1605
01:31:37,594 --> 01:31:39,114
and into your moment
to moment life.

1606
01:31:39,217 --> 01:31:42,496
It's about being the lightand bringing that light,

1607
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:43,808
reflecting it everywhere you go.

1608
01:31:48,572 --> 01:31:52,507
>>There's nothing lovingwon't heal, nothing, nothing.

1609
01:31:52,610 --> 01:31:55,371
And I forget that sometimes.

1610
01:31:55,475 --> 01:31:57,753
But I never forget
that I've gotten it.

1611
01:31:57,857 --> 01:31:59,514
And I know I can return there.

1612
01:31:59,617 --> 01:32:03,379
And I know that when I
do, my life is beautiful

1613
01:32:03,483 --> 01:32:05,934
and the results I
produce are positive.

1614
01:32:06,037 --> 01:32:07,280
And it kind of spills over.

1615
01:32:07,383 --> 01:32:09,523
And someone else picks
it up and passes it on.

1616
01:32:09,627 --> 01:32:12,318
It just multiplies that way.

1617
01:32:12,423 --> 01:32:14,287
>>As long as I'm
in a state of love,

1618
01:32:14,389 --> 01:32:15,875
miracles will happen here.

1619
01:32:15,978 --> 01:32:20,465
And when you know that only loveis real, it changes everything.

1620
01:32:20,568 --> 01:32:23,779
>>Love is the basic principleof how everything works.

1621
01:32:23,883 --> 01:32:25,712
You don't cause pain.

1622
01:32:25,816 --> 01:32:28,577
You don't do violence
to anything, in any way,

1623
01:32:28,681 --> 01:32:30,268
even in the subtlest way.

1624
01:32:30,371 --> 01:32:33,824
Because it hurts
the whole system,

1625
01:32:33,927 --> 01:32:35,446
which, of course,
comes back to you.

1626
01:32:38,587 --> 01:32:40,037
>>Coming from our
heart is authentic.

1627
01:32:40,139 --> 01:32:41,521
And that's a feeling experience.

1628
01:32:41,625 --> 01:32:43,937
And what I recommend
to people is,

1629
01:32:44,041 --> 01:32:46,146
hey, you've got to
be able to feel it.

1630
01:32:46,250 --> 01:32:47,976
If you can feel
it, if you can feel

1631
01:32:48,079 --> 01:32:50,219
that someone's coming
from their heart,

1632
01:32:50,323 --> 01:32:52,428
then you know you're hearingthem with your heart.

1633
01:32:55,535 --> 01:32:58,331
>>Your heart will
always be true.

1634
01:32:58,434 --> 01:33:01,852
Whenever you have a question,put your hands on your heart,

1635
01:33:01,955 --> 01:33:03,750
ask that question.

1636
01:33:03,853 --> 01:33:07,305
Your heart will tell youinstantly what the answer is.

1637
01:33:07,409 --> 01:33:10,826
And our tendency is to followthe fear that lives up here.

1638
01:33:10,930 --> 01:33:14,934
When we just find that peacein ourselves, walk our truth,

1639
01:33:15,037 --> 01:33:16,693
always be in your
heart, your life

1640
01:33:16,798 --> 01:33:20,905
will become easier, much easier.

1641
01:33:21,009 --> 01:33:23,080
>>There's a language
beyond words.

1642
01:33:23,183 --> 01:33:25,116
It's a language of our hearts.

1643
01:33:25,219 --> 01:33:27,014
It's a language of the soul.

1644
01:33:27,118 --> 01:33:30,501
So when we give our love,we add to that vibration

1645
01:33:30,605 --> 01:33:32,296
that encircles the universe.

1646
01:33:32,398 --> 01:33:34,712
When we let go of our
words and our thoughts,

1647
01:33:34,816 --> 01:33:35,851
then we fall into our heart.

1648
01:33:38,543 --> 01:33:41,754
>>We should call "normal" theperson who awakens each morning

1649
01:33:41,857 --> 01:33:46,448
with shining eyes, seeing eachday as a gift, clearly centered

1650
01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:48,380
in what they're passionateabout and committed

1651
01:33:48,484 --> 01:33:51,522
to a practice of getting betterand better and better at it

1652
01:33:51,626 --> 01:33:53,697
and living a life that's
a gift to the world,

1653
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,665
welcoming people
of all ethnicity

1654
01:33:56,769 --> 01:33:59,047
and persuasion with
respect and warmth.

1655
01:33:59,150 --> 01:34:01,843
We ought to call that normal.

1656
01:34:01,946 --> 01:34:02,878
>>It's simple.

1657
01:34:02,982 --> 01:34:04,984
It's you.

1658
01:34:05,087 --> 01:34:05,639
You're the gift.

1659
01:34:10,264 --> 01:34:12,267
>>Since all there is
is this present moment,

1660
01:34:12,370 --> 01:34:16,029
since it's the only thing thatexists, how much of a gift

1661
01:34:16,133 --> 01:34:19,550
is it to actually be presentwith the person in front of you

1662
01:34:19,654 --> 01:34:21,621
and expressing love to thatperson in front of you?

1663
01:34:21,725 --> 01:34:22,864
Think about that for moment.

1664
01:34:27,454 --> 01:34:29,940
>>If you had asked, what areyou going to be doing in a year,

1665
01:34:30,043 --> 01:34:31,493
I never would have
thought that I'd

1666
01:34:31,596 --> 01:34:33,460
be here speaking with
you, that I have gone

1667
01:34:33,564 --> 01:34:36,532
through this incredible journey,working and creating "Discover

1668
01:34:36,636 --> 01:34:39,052
the Gift," and that I wouldhave, through that work,

1669
01:34:39,156 --> 01:34:41,848
transformed myself and
discovered my own gifts.

1670
01:34:41,952 --> 01:34:43,643
And what we ended
up creating was

1671
01:34:43,746 --> 01:34:46,888
a family of
togetherness and love.

1672
01:34:46,991 --> 01:34:47,682
We have unity.

1673
01:34:58,382 --> 01:35:02,869
>>The discovery of the giftof forgiveness, compassion,

1674
01:35:02,973 --> 01:35:08,841
and family has resulted inthe healing of my heart.

1675
01:35:08,943 --> 01:35:11,740
Love is the gift
that reveals itself.

1676
01:35:23,648 --> 01:35:27,825
I am now being the man
I always wanted to be,

1677
01:35:27,929 --> 01:35:36,454
with my family, my friends,my business, my community.

1678
01:35:41,943 --> 01:35:44,704
Love is the true
hidden treasure.

1679
01:36:03,688 --> 01:36:06,036
Living your life
is like sailing.

1680
01:36:10,212 --> 01:36:14,803
You're constantly makingadjustments and corrections.

1681
01:36:14,907 --> 01:36:20,326
But once you take thewheel and set your course,

1682
01:36:20,429 --> 01:36:22,707
you can go anywhere.

1683
01:36:26,608 --> 01:36:29,818
And after this long
journey of my own,

1684
01:36:29,922 --> 01:36:36,307
if there's any wisdom I canoffer, it is simply this.

1685
01:36:36,411 --> 01:36:38,550
Follow your heart.
