>> According to the Toltecman, every night that we go

to sleep, most of
us have amnesia.

And so when we enter
into the dream state,

we don't know who we are.

But really, there's
a part of yourself

that's actually participatingin the creative process.

They believe that
creative process

that happens in the dream stateis what shapes the awake world.

And so if you want to
master the awake world,

you have to master
the dreamworld.

[music playing]

>> One of my theories aboutdeath when it happens--

it's like when you
wake up in the morning.

You remember a bunch of
elements of your dream--

different scenes, situations.

But as the day goes
on, it fades out

like a glass of water beingthrown back into the ocean.

>> Now, as Plato says,
learning is remembrance.

He calls it anamnesis,
non-amnesia.

And so that's the
goal in life is

to remember what we forgetin the act of birth.

[music playing]

>> Let go of your fear inconsidering the illusion

in this life.

>> All these traditions havedifferent ways of explaining

where we come from.

What is this thing that
everybody calls God?

And what is that?

And for a very long time,religion, and philosophy,

and science were not exactlysaying the same thing.

And now, long story short,the newest physics, the newest

science is basically startingto point in the same direction

as these ancient traditions.

At no point does the universesay, oh, that's it, stop.

You've got to stop right there.

That's as small as you can go.

This circle could startout the size of a galaxy,

or the size of a quark.

It doesn't matter.

You can always
sub-divide and get

more information
out of that space.

So does it make sense, then?

You can stay inside of
any finite boundary--

is the possibility of aninfinite amount of division,

or therefore, an infinite
amount of information?

Cool.

You're infinite beings.

[music playing]

>> This stuff pisses me offabout this cosmic connection.

What is that group thingwhere they're coming in from--

we're all connect--

I don't believe that
for a second, man.

I am not connected to nobody--

no how, no way.

>> We're a minuscule
part of reality,

and we don't even know
where we come from.

We don't know where we're going.

We don't know why we're here.

We don't know who made us.

And we could be
gone at any second.

In light of that,
how do we behave?

What do we do?

And does this even matter?

And what's the point?

Right?

Those are the
questions that we ask.

It seems thatconsciousness is evolving

And the truth is I don'tthink anybody knows anything.

I don't know anything.

That's for sure.

And yet, we learn
from our experience,

and we try to offersomething to one another.

[music playing]

>> If you see anyone takeadvantage or suspicious

activity, please report itto a monorail official on any

of the monorail stations.

[music playing]

>> One of the beauties of natureis to see that all of creation

is a series of fractals.

[music playing]

>> Fractal comes from
the word fracture.

All of nature is going alongcertain fracture lines,

proportional symmetry
throughout, top

to bottom, all the way
down into the cells,

all the way down to the
quarks, all the way down

to the subquarks, all theway down to the Higgs boson.

Hence, when someone like Hermessays, "As above, so below,"

and as below, so above,
that's indicating

this kind of self-similarityfrom the above to the below

and vice versa.

So we are holographicimages of the divine source.

>> The person who's thinkingabout this is just a small

piece of it.

The mind that's thinking
about it is just--

it's like a particle
in the universe,

but is also the universe.

[music playing]

>> Each one is made likethe two leaves of the womb--

and if you know a vagina.

And there's a little
bright orange seed

that pops out and is
actually still attached

like an umbilical cord, sothat birds can notice it better

and carry it to be
planted somewhere.

It's an incredibleprocess and so beautiful.

So what we do today is
to share about harmony.

Everybody can
understand harmony.

You can be a musician.

You can be an artist.

You can be a housewife.

You want harmony in your house.

It's applying to all aspectsof life, the basic secret

of the universe.

And that is called--

has been called traditionallythe golden ratio,

or the golden number, or
the golden proportion.

[music playing]

>> There's a bit of confusionabout what the golden section,

golden ratio, or golden mean is.

And you can use
all of those names.

First of all, the golden
section is the cutting

of a magnitude, a line,
whatever it might be,

at an asymmetric point, inwhich the whole is to the longer

segment in the same ratioas the longer segment is

to the shorter segment.

[music playing]

You have proportion
when the whole

is to one segment
in the same ratio

as the longer segment is
to the shorter segment.

Well, it turns out there'sone and only one place.

Of course, you could
flip it around.

You could cut it over here--

that you get exactly
this proportion.

We call it the
divine proportion,

because it's how nature works.

The primordial cision, thefirst-- like a scissors,

the first cut.

[music playing]

>> That's the balancepoint of beauty, harmony,

and best relationship in allthe universe on all levels.

[music playing]

If everything is justexactly 50% on both sides,

nothing happens.

It's static.

It's stuck.

In life, you need to havespiraling and vortexing.

You always need to have oneside that gives some momentum,

so things can start to happen.

We jump in the middle of life.

We become life.

The human body is the bestbook, the book of life.

>> So the body is a resonantgolden proportion instrument.

Navel cuts us at the golden cut.

I've been measuring my studentsfor something like 30 years

now.

In fact, generally speaking,you don't have people

who are perfect golden cuts.

They tend to be like the plants.

[music playing]

>> So plants are using in thevery placement of their arms

and feet-- their branches, andtheir leaves, and their seeds.

They are using the golden ratio.

It's used by all the
universe everywhere.

But you need to know
what you are looking

for, because the plant does notsay, look, this is 137 degree.

You need to understand thegeometry that is involved.

One leaf here.

Next leaf-- we come here.

And there is a spiraling of thatangle, which is 137.5 degrees--

which is directly relatedto the golden ratio.

But you enter the 360
degree in the equation.

You get 5, or 1 over
5, a reciprocal of 5.

A fractal series, a
fractal progression

of golden ratio to infinity.

Infinitely small,infinitely big never stops.

>> The golden ratio at 1.6180339is pulling everything in nature

towards it.

So when these numbers--

Fibonacci numbers
begin with 0 and 1,

each new number is the
sum of the previous two.

So it goes 0, 1, 1, 2, 3,5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,

144, and, of course, a
child can keep doing it.

Each ratio of twoadjacent Fibonacci numbers

are an approximation
to the golden mean.

What happens is it
goes above and below.

But as the numbers
get higher, it's

zooming in from both
directions, collapsing

into the golden
section, which is--

the sink is the magnet thatpulls everything towards it.

So it's teleological.

It actually is-- teleos is theGreek word for end or purpose.

Things are moving towardssome incredible divine purpose

or end, pulled by
the divine source.

[music playing]

>> Ratio is a
universal language.

Because all the plants,and all of the seashells,

and all of the different
forms in nature,

right down to
sub-atomic particles,

and the spirals of galaxies--

they all contain it.

So what does it mean?

How deep does it really get?

[music playing]

>> Human consciousness
also spirals that way

in my research.

It's very, very much arepetitive, iterative pattern.

And I have likened them attimes to Fibonacci numbers

to the spiral, to a conch.

[music playing]

>> We start with a discussionof, what is consciousness?

Consciousness is the ability toreceive and react to stimuli.

So if you look at a
proton or a neutron,

if you start talking
about the protons being

able to react with
the electron, then you

can say that they
exhibit consciousness,

a very basic consciousness.

[music playing]

>> It seems to me thatplanets, after they form,

especially rocky planets, needa huge amount of time to provide

the basis for complex life.

They need billions of yearsof cleaning of the atmosphere.

And then after those billionsof years, you get this luxury--

this rarity of
having, say, oxygen

that powers cells
with more energy that

allow cells to get togetherand form animals, and plants,

and fungi, and things like that.

And it's really the
getting to complexity--

the network of nerve
cells, vascular plants,

the network of root systems,and the network of eco-systems.

And when you get
enough complexity,

you can then support animalsthat get bigger brains.

And as their brains
get bigger, they

can engage in something calledself-reflection, like awareness

of self.

If you see yourself
reflected in the river,

you understand what
you're looking at.

There's only a few
animals that do that.

[music playing]

>> When babies are born, theydon't know they have a body.

At some point, they
start recognizing

the confines of
their physical body,

and that it is separate
from something else.

>> So when infants in thebeginning-- when they are born,

they are in their
subconscious state.

They are living on
an instinctive level.

And even if they're lookingat mother, they're not saying,

oh, this is my mother.

I like her.

Or she's too fat.

I don't know.

I don't like my mother.

Children don't have that mindthat discriminates and chooses

for or against what is present.

So that means human beings--when they become conscious,

they begin to choose
for and against.

>> When we look, and
we see, and we label,

we stop and we solidifysomething that's continually

moving and changing.

And so then we're shaping thatdream, or molding that energy,

based off of our
belief structures,

our lives, our sleep
states, our emotions.

[music playing]

>> You know, the
question is, what am I?

I mean, that's a questionthat's just been around forever.

And there was a time wherethat was your body, right?

If you said, where am I?

you would point here.

You'd say this is right here.

>> At first, people understandthemselves as a concrete body,

and so their identity
is their physical self.

>> And then there's a pointwhere you realize, well,

I don't have a body.

I am not a body,
but I have a body.

That's your body.

Then you realize that
about your thoughts.

And you realize, well,no, those are my thoughts.

Those are my feelings, right?

Those are my ideas.

That's my desires.

But who's saying-- who's
doing the possessing?

We're talking about not
what we're looking at,

but where we're looking from.

>> You recognize you stillhave a concrete body.

You recognize you
have this subtle self,

but you start identifyingwith something new.

And that something new
is awareness itself.

Your identity is awareness.

This room is inside
your awareness.

This body is inside
of your awareness.

Everything outside of youis everything inside of you,

and there's not a
separation between them.

When you identify
with that as me,

it changes the way you
think about everything.

>> And certain people
have that experience--

is that they see
the world and yet,

they can see it most clearly bylooking inside of themselves.

And so they find that the entireuniverse is within themselves.

That which they thought was justpurely inside of themselves--

they can see outside
of themselves.

[music playing]

>> I grew up in a
Methodist Church.

And sometimes people
would get the spirit.

They would run up and
down the church aisle,

and that always terrifiedme-- the church.

So consequently, I
never embraced religion.

In fact, at one time
I thought maybe God

was a creation of man, justto fulfill his purpose,

for the most part.

And ironically, I discoveredGod through science,

through quantum physics.

The most basic of
elements is energy,

and energy pervades
the universe.

We are all connected.

Now, this energy
could be intelligence.

It could be information.

It could be whatever
you want to call it.

But the bottom line is it'sdivine as far as I'm concerned.

[music playing]

>> The meaning of the struggleswe all face is very simple.

It's all about lessons.

What have you come to learn?

What do you need to know?

The struggles we have
today are about fear.

They are about the
fact that people

don't get that everything weare and everything we see here

on this planet are illusions.

We are just energy.

And the vibration is whatcreates what we're looking at.

>> Everything vibrates.

Everything moves to and fro.

Everything has a periodness,like the pendulum.

>> Some people might say the onething that connects everything

is God, or the one thing thatconnects everything is light,

or love, or a lot
of different things.

But physically,literally, all the matter

that we see in this room and ourown bodies are made of atoms.

We've never have
found any matter

that's not made of atoms.

>> Everything is--

Madame Blavatsky, the
theosopher, said--

all atoms are vibrations,that that's what they are.

[music playing]

>> I had a dream oncewhere I asked the question,

if the cosmos began, couldit have started from a single

point?

And if it had started
from a single,

cool point, how would
it have come to be?

Well, it could have beenthat one point begat another.

One point became two.

Why?

Because that point had aprobability of disappearing.

So what do you do if you'rea dot with a finite lifetime?

You make a backup.

When it makes its backup
and then those particles

make their copies, the optimalunpacking of that whole system

is to flow along a
Fibonacci spiral.

And it goes out to a
certain point where

there's too much crowding.

You start getting
unpredictability,

and things start colliding.

And in the universe, therefore,if you had explained it

in human terms, a breathingin of order and a breathing

out of chaos.

[music playing]

>> The wave is actually bornout of this duality of this

pairedness.

So you go from singularity,pure void, to duality.

And you need duality for
a spiraling wave action

to appear.

[music playing]

>> Look, religions,
and superstitions,

and whatnot find patterns.

And people come up withstuff in their imagination,

but we need something objective.

And the only way to find truth--

was objectively true is to havea community that reviews itself

of predictions,
hypothesis testing.

All these wonderful coincidenceshappen in our lives constantly,

right? if we're really tuned in.

So we have to
believe in the field,

because we're constantly guided.

And all this stuff--

miraculous stuff seems tobe happening all the time.

Science cannot clarify.

Mysticism cannot explain.

Geometrical patterns
cannot explain.

And it's something beyondall human mind explanations

and story.

We just use it.

We have to trust it.

It's what drives the world.

It's what we are.

[music playing]

>> Phi is the name that has beengiven to the golden proportion.

That's the capital form,and that's the lower case.

Notice that the lower case iskind of a spiral by itself,

which is interesting.

And the capital letter
is a magnificent symbol.

You can see I put two
different colors here.

There is like a central
axis, the male energy

of the universe, and thewomb of the Madame goddess.

The cosmic energy of the
mother is the round--

the curve.

And the straight line saysthe yang energy of the unit.

The yin and the yang
are perfectly harmonized

in the great clip
there, that we use now

for expressing the golden ratio.

[music playing]

>> The yin and the yang--they are born from each other,

and there's just this
constant interplay.

We're born out of that--

the dance and theinterplay between the void

and the creative impulse.

Sometimes when we talk
about yin in the void,

we think of the darkness.

I think about the womb.

I think about the
stillness and silence.

I think about ourconsciousness before thought.

And then the yang
is what is born out

of that into action, andexpression, and the creative,

and the movement.

>> With a lot of the qigongand Taoist practices,

they say the only way tobring about true yang is from

complete yin, which is
the ultimate stillness.

So it means no desire.

The heart's calm.

And when you reach
the calm state,

then emerges that spark,because I would imagine you've

come in contact with
your true nature.

>> I have a special spiritualteacher who talks about

stopping all seeking.

That's where meditation-- again,this bringing us into stillness

is where we are in a placewhere we can experience reality.

Just stop the mind.

Stop wanting anything.

And there's
something for me that

happens in that, that
goes beyond words.

>> What you perhaps aredoing is quieting the mind,

or exciting the mind, or both,to the point where you suddenly

lose the observer.

You lose self and youmerge, because you become

part of this huge
information system,

and you're in the
non-dual state.

But at the same time,
you have vision.

Vision comes into your
system, because there's

history out there.

And the history can
pattern non-locally

on to your consciousness,through your filters.

Consciousness may be justsimply awareness and openness

to all of this in
the present moment.

[music playing]

>> There is a pull towardsevolutionary unfolding,

and it's moving.

It's being pulled towardsthis golden ratio.

And not just the beauty
of it, but what it also

means in terms ofharmony, and harmonization

of human relationships,
and going back

to the Delphic oracle--

nothing in excess.

Find the point of moderation.

Find the mean
between the extremes.

[music playing]

>> Beauty is one of the mostpowerful forces on the planet.

Crystals are
inherently beautiful,

and it's really easy to see.

And there's quite a bit
of agreement from people

all over the world that theylook at something beautiful,

and there's no denying it.

Crystals are this
amazing oxymoron,

because they're
so hard, so dense.

They're harder than steel onthe Mohs scale of hardness,

yet they're very fragile, also.

If I took a hammer-- boom,I could knock it right off.

They're very solid, but
they're transparent.

In fact, your eye
has never looked

through that much
dense matter before.

Within their being, theyhold a great deal of paradox.

[music playing]

>> We see in binaries.

Our senses have
developed so that they

have to make distinctions.

So our eye can see
the corners of things.

It can see black and white.

It can see different colors.

But it sees the edges and thedifferences between the edges.

The ears hear
differences in sound.

And when we walk, we
walk with one foot

and then the next foot.

We have kind of a binary systemmade up inside of ourselves.

And our species tends to reallylook at the poles of things.

[music playing]

>> Anything that manifests,manifests in polarities.

And how we deal with
polarities is a function

of how we process reality.

If there is an in-breath,there's an out-breath.

If you kind of appreciatethe color white,

you have to know thatthere is the color black.

The next step of maturity isto realize that any polarity--

you could hold
both aspects of it.

>> People think of
humility and arrogance.

When you think, OK, I
am a very humble person,

and then you realize, oh, justby declaring that I'm humble,

aren't I arrogant?

Or, oh, my gosh, I'm
such an arrogant person.

But by recognizing
that, aren't you

really claiming
some humility there?

>> You cannot know how good athing is until you know how bad

a thing is.

>> It's just part of theexpression of being human to go

through every shade of
what we can experience.

>> So we have a
light on one side,

we have dark on the other side,and everything in between.

And my experience is thatthe divine consciousness

is all that is, both
the light and the dark.

Both the most amazingthings that are happening

and the most heinous things thatare happening on this planet

is a part of this
divine consciousness,

expressing itself in all
of these different ways.

And where does that
spectrum lie within us?

[music playing]

>> A lot of things that werecognize as being negatives

are actually just a part
of human experience.

That voice of fear
will speak up and say,

I'm being courageous here.

I'm trying to protect the self.

And then the voice
of courage will say,

I'm just insane if I don'thave a healthy dose of fear.

And almost all of us haveallowed fear, for instance,

along with a lot of
other things to take

a center place, rather thana deep, spiritual place

of abundance.

The important thing to realizeabout spiritual progression--

the deepest states of
refined consciousness

more easily fit into thatmore developed vessel.

So you have to develop
the structural capacity

to hold the state of awareness.

And so there are these aspectsof ourselves that are there.

And if we're not aware ofthem, they become shadow.

And they're sort of doingsomething in our lives,

but we're not fully
aware of them.

[music playing]

>> So what I'm saying is inorder to change the world,

we don't have to act
on the external things.

We have to act in the
way that people think,

the way people see
things, and the way

they understand their life.

You make the rule.

You make the way
to break the rule.

>> There is a bigger and biggersplit that's taking place

in the New Age consciousness,because a lot of people are

living in their upper chakras.

They're not going down.

They're not doing the descent.

I find that the
work really begins

on the spiritual
path, at least for me

and people I've
worked with-- is when

we do the descent into theunderworld, when we really

start looking at our own stuff,and we start digging deeper.

[music playing]

>> To me, shadow is at thehidden part of any person,

pieces of yourself that youpushed aside or repressed.

A lot of times it has to dowith what is traumatic for you.

What is traumatic
for you may not

be traumatic for anybody else.

But we all have our own littleplaces that cause trauma in us.

>> At some point, you beginto become aware that there are

multiple pole dimensions
within yourself.

You sort of have thissymphony of aspects going on

in yourself, and you
begin to recognize it.

To the extent that you havethings going on in yourself

and you're not
fully aware of it--

I mean, that's your shadow.

And one of the primarytendencies that we all tend

to do is we project our shadow.

Typically, the things wedislike the most about ourselves

without acknowledging thatwe projected on other people.

>> Working with the shadow,there's an unconsciousness

there.

So when people are projectingor launching their own stuff

on to somebody
else, a lot of it's

because they'reunconscious of what they're

holding within themselves.

And we have to project ourown stuff on to somebody else,

so we can see it,
and externalize it,

and begin to work with it.

>> Let's say if I'm making ajudgment about the way that you

think--

if I point that finger
right back at me,

I'll find that I
also think that way.

So my inside is
like your inside.

My subtle self is
like your subtle self.

>> So whatever is up in you, andwhatever lesson you need to be

learning, or whatever youneed to be looking at--

if you're kind of consciousof that, you'll see it

reflected in the
people around you--

your family, your friends.

[music playing]

>> Because it's the part ofourselves that we don't own,

right?

Something that's
kind of happening

in our lives that is there.

It's niggling us.

It's calling us.

It's bothering us, but wedon't see it as ourself.

So it's in form, butit's not in our identity.

[music playing]

>> And then there's also
the collective shadow,

which is a whole-- anotheraspect we hold-- our shadow,

our own personal work
that we have to do.

And as we're working
on that, we also

hold the collective shadow,so the much bigger picture

of what's happening in globalconsciousness, the shadow

of the Earth of human nature,of our culture, of our family,

of our community.

>> A certain kind of collectiveconsciousness evolves around

our country, or our
tribe, or our family,

and makes the other, that's notpart of that group, our enemy.

And we fight them,
and we glorify that.

And a lot of the harm that itdoes is in the shadows, too.

In order to maintain that kindof military, nationalistic

mythos, we isolate ourselvesfrom the actual experience

of war.

If we had the directexperience of those folks,

we might not send them off towar for the reasons that we do.

[music playing]

>> The oldest thing in thebook is warring, right?

Blowing up other people.

Oh, they didn't do that.

So you're back and forth.

Back and forth.

So what is it they say?

Trying to get a new result fromthe same thing is insanity.

So here we are.

Where are we at?

We're insane.

[music playing]

>> There's a collectiveego that forms in a group,

and that can be twisted.

A collective ego doesn't reallyhave a monitoring conscience,

so I think that's why
such damage can be done.

[music playing]

>> I don't think we've beenassuming that we can just throw

stuff away.

It's like we're throwing
it away in our backyard,

and it's just going to go away.

We just haven't-- we justforgot that that's the backyard.

[music playing]

>> Help us out to bekinder to our Mother Earth.

I ask you this, myancestors and great creator.

I recognize you as a
maker of all things

to show us how to be
kind to our Mother,

so we can drink cleanwater, breathe clean air,

and grow good food on your soil.

Encourage the hard conscious.

Yep, all my relations.

[music playing]

>> So we started a place ashuman beings-- homo sapiens,

whatever you want to call us.

We started it very,
very close to Earth.

And we've gone very, veryfar from what-- we've

become distant with the land.

And a lot of
disconnect happened,

which led to other Ds--
dysfunction, deluding,

all of the divorce
with the connection,

a real deadly divorce,
divorcing yourself

from the connection you have.

[music playing]

>> What kind of footprintdo we want to leave?

What kind of cellular
footprint do we

want to pass on
to who stays here?

Killing animals for sport--

that's not the kind offootprint we want to leave.

[music playing]

>> Is there really any shadow?

Is there really any
such thing as evil?

I struggle with that.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'dlove to believe that there's

no such thing as evil.

There's just somebody who's inpain, who's lost, who believes,

in fact, that they are theopposite of who they really

are.

They've embodied the falsepersona of the shadow.

So one of the most importantthings we can understand,

about why we believe
somebody becomes

this version of
their false self,

is this idea that during
trauma or after trauma,

we must attach.

We must connect.

We must cope.

The first example
might be when you

went through the
trauma of childbirth,

coming from this perfectlyhomeostatic environment,

getting squeezed through
this tight tube with all

this screaming.

And then these bright lightsand a smack on the butt.

Believe me, that's a traumawhen you come from this to that.

And yet, why do most childrenseem to do quite well?

is because they had
authentic attachment.

What's authenticattachment for that child

would be the mother's
breast, and then

the oxytocin, and the bondingchemicals, and the mother

staring into the baby's eyes.

And even though the baby mightnot have an understanding,

the subconscious knows I'm OK.

I'm safe.

I'm loved.

But sadly, we live
in an environment

where the opportunities forauthentic attachment are few,

and the opportunities
for what we

call pseudo-attachment,
or addictive attachment,

or false attachment are plenty.

And we say that duality
comes from the moment

of our first trauma,
combined with

our first false attachment.

[music playing]

And in that moment, there'sa fracturing of the psyche.

And the shadow, if you
were, or the false self,

is created in that moment.

[music playing]

>> There's emotion.

There's anger.

There could be fear.

There could be
humiliation, shame.

It gets stored in the bodyand held by the muscles,

because we don't
want to feel that.

[screaming]

>> You have something
going on inside--

a pain, a judgment
about yourself,

a concept that you
need help with.

And it all starts withseeking this higher level.

We wish to be more.

We wish our experience of thismoment to be more than it is,

so I'm going to inject
some other substance

to try and bring me higher.

>> Body is the temple of God,but it has become the temple

of the devil, the ego.

It has become the
abode of the ego.

[music playing]

So ego has taken over somuch of subconscious energy--

we call pranic energy--

and abused it so much that thebody has lost sense of feeling.

And feeling is through
which you experience

different aspects of your life.

[music playing]

>> So the consciousness
gets trained into a rut,

and then the body
reflects that pattern.

Disease originates
first in the spirit,

and then it filters downthrough the energetic levels.

So by the time it
hits the body, that's

just how the picture
has been painted.

That's how the clay got molded,because of the pattern that's

been operated in for so long.

>> People get stuck on a thingabout themselves and never get

past it, because they've nowmade this their identity.

They're attached
to their sickness.

>> The very thing that I wasgoing to, to cope with the pain

of my experience, the very thingI was going to escape it was

creating more of it.

I was blaming it on
my past, my stabbing.

I justify it through
this, because I

lost my eye when I was 19 ina stabbing, so I've suffered.

I'm OK.

I'm allowed.

And when I realized that I amdoing this in this moment--

to me, it's my fault--

is when I took full
responsibility,

not just for the addiction,but for every single aspect

of my life.

Every single thing
that I was experiencing

is when it all fell away.

All addictions fell away.

[music playing]

>> When someone or somethingcomes into your life as a great

challenge, and what you perceivefrom them is a great deal

of pain, then they areactually your greatest teacher.

[music playing]

That's what it's allabout-- getting the lesson.

Do we often get the lesson
the first time around?

No.

[music playing]

A toothpick taps us on
the shoulder and says,

lesson time, and webrush that toothpick off.

The toothpick becomes a pencil,and the pencil becomes a ruler.

The ruler becomes a yardstick.

And the yardstick becomesa two-by-four and then

an oak tree.

And before you
know it, a redwood

is slamming you
with the same lesson

that the toothpick or the pencilcould have brought to you.

[music playing]

>> If you react from fear,if you react by letting

pre-conceived ideas, prejudices,biases flavor your action,

that's not free will.

Free will is understandingthat you have a choice.

Free will is understandingthat when something comes up,

you need to investigate allthe possibilities of it.

And only then, when you choose,might you have free will.

[music playing]

>> Karma means action.

Anything that you think--

thoughts are action on a
certain level of karma.

And when it becomes
verbal action,

it's the next level of action.

And then verbal
becomes physical.

It's the grossest
level of action.

So whenever your thoughts,feelings, or actions

are against the reality that youare facing at any given moment,

you are creating karma asa debt against the reality.

What is that?

That means whatever I'm facingat any given moment is reality.

But if I judge that person, thatsituation, I am creating karma.

Why?

Because the judgment
comes not from who I am.

It comes from who I
am not, as programmed

by my past experiences.

[music playing]

>> Behaviors are often elicitedby sort of unconscious pictures

that we've created.

Something comes up.

I react to it,
and I do it again.

It becomes a habit.

And it's like there's
this unconscious picture

that the thing comes up, andthe picture tells me what to do.

What the brain expects
to have happen--

it elicits a physiology anda behavior to make it happen.

>> Behavior follows belief--creates your reality,

which means that your beliefsystem will always lead

to behavior, consciously
or unconsciously driven,

that will always
create your reality.

>> So all the years that youhave spent in your life--

you've had it programmed bythe society, by the culture,

by education.

And that programming
is your past.

And when it resurfaces asa reaction, that miss--

it's called mini reincarnation.

You reincarnated from
your past as a reaction

to what is present.

>> Am I actually behavingin a way where I'm creating

a self-fulfilling prophecy, byjust recreating my pain state

over and over again?

And we would say that
that's the case with all

of the world's dysfunction, thatit all operates the same way.

That it's all a hijacking of thesurvival centers of the brain.

That it's all dysfunction drivenby fear, driven by less than,

driven by isolation.

And that our solution is thesame, whether for a culture,

whether global, or
whether an individual--

is that I have to
step out of my story.

I've got to step
out of my dynamic.

I've got to take
personal accountability

and stop perpetuating
the pattern that's been

going on over and over again.

[music playing]

>> So every time
that karma comes up,

as a reaction to
what is present,

withdraw from your reaction.

And you are dismantling
from your karma body

for that particular event,which created that karma,

similar to that event.

[music playing]

And as a result, now, whenyou withdraw your reaction,

you can see the object as it is.

You can see the
person as they are.

[music playing]

>> The paradox in the senseof control goes like this.

The more I try to take controlof the world out there,

the more out of
control it feels.

The flip side of the
paradox is the more

you let go, trying tocontrol the external world

and respond to it, justaccept what's there is there,

and respond to it from
this inner wisdom,

from your deep wisdom,and values, and integrity.

You feel a sense of control.

It's about control of me in theface of it, not controlling it.

It's important to
the health outcomes.

>> If I know that
I have the power,

no matter what you do to me, nomatter what experience happens

in my life, I still getto hold on to compassion.

You can't-- nobody has the powerto take compassion away from

me.

I can choose to use mycircumstances or your behavior

as an excuse to surrender
that aspect of who I am.

But we say that's when
you really suffer.

>> And that's what
Christ demonstrated.

He was so heavily
abused for even

doing such a wonderfulwork throughout his life.

When he was on the
cross, he said forgive

those who do not understand.

That was the complete
death of his ego.

Therefore, he was born again,and there was a Resurrection.

He showed us the way--

how to die.

People think he died
for us, so we'll

be liberated by following him.

No, follow what he
did on the cross,

and then you will be liberated.

That's what is the meaning.

>> And this is where you getthe Christs and the Buddhas.

There are individuals
who have gone

into a cosmic
conscious experience,

but that stands
before all of us.

All of us are Buddhas in themaking, Christs in the making.

Ultimately, we're
going to achieve it,

but it may take some time.

[music playing]

>> So the planetaryexperiences are horrible.

They're horrendous--
some of them--

many of them.

I can't take them away.

We can't take them away.

We can want them away.

We can wish them away.

We can heal.

Keep healing.

Keep doing your part.

I'll keep doing my part.

Do your own personal healing,because it's all fractals.

And the world will heal.

But as long as there are
still battles going on

in your own system, therewill be battles going on

in the bigger picture.

>> So many people come throughwith this vision of, I need

to change the world.

And really, it's just doingthe work on ourselves,

because that shifts the
vibration and the energy

that we hold around us.

And so that's really the firststep is to work on the self,

bringing that work back
into the community.

[music playing]

>> If you can connect
with your divine source,

you will always be at peace.

You will have love.

You will experiencethings in life that are--

you might have
something that happens.

You might get angry,
but you won't hold it

for very long, maybe
a half an hour,

two hours, or three hours.

And you'll let it go,
because you know it

won't serve your highest good.

[music playing]

If we unite with
our consciousness,

we have the ability
to change this world.

[music playing]

>> If I could whisperinto the heart of mankind,

what would I say?

>> If I could whisper anythinginto the ear of the collective

human consciousness,
it would be,

tap into your kindness andlive your greatest strength.

>> I would say that thereis nothing but love,

that that's really
all that exists.

And it's all a dance of love.

>> I think we are all ahomeopathic drop in the pool

of humanity.

That would be my whisper.

>> If I had to whisper somethinginto the collective ear

of mankind--

that it's time to grow up,and it's time to wake up.

>> Know yourself.

>> Probably just have thecourage to tell the truth.

Ask yourself if it serves youand move towards what does,

and that will
always be the truth.

>> Take time to find out theway you would really love things

to be.

Now, that's not just
utopian, but the way we

would be treating each other--

that you would love it to be.

And then do it that
way, regardless

of what someone else is doing.

>> We are all connected.

It's all the same.

There's only one
life, and we better

start understanding that.

If we're not kind
to one another,

it's going to be amiserable existence for us.

>> See-- and I told you thatI don't believe in all that.

I think it's an
effort that happens

to make that thing go down.

It's not like a cable or a wire.

It's an actual sincere effort.

>> So what I learned fromthe jaguar is the pain

and suffering of
the animal kingdom,

and it's not very pleasant.

And we are the perpetrators.

We are the cause
of their suffering.

It isn't the animal kingdomthat has made humans suffer.

It is vice versa.

We are the culprits.

And I have experienced the pain.

>> Forgive for being sonaive, for being so hateful,

for being so angry,
for being human.

>> We're destroying
this place so fast.

I pray that there's a
future for our children.

>> Remember anything you do, ora part of, belongs to a larger

dynamics of large events.

And you want to be part
of always large events.

Learn how to be in harmony withyour neighbor, your partner,

your job, your situation, yourhouse, your community, just

like the universe is
in harmony with you.

>> Listen to the faintestvoice, because your ego mind is

so noisy with crowd of voices.

Enter the silence.

And in silence, you'll berevealed who you really are--

god that you are.
