Psalm 46 Eckhart Tolle says it says the name of God like six different ways be still and know that I am God be is a name for God stillness is a name for God know is a name for God I am is a name for God and God is a name for God and when you When you feel all of that as what you fundamentally are, and it's connecting with another person, the gladness doesn't even touch it. No word can touch it.
But it's two aspects of a consciousness that thought they were separate joining hands and meeting each other again. And the reunion is overwhelmingly Beautiful. Relief. Joy. Gladness. Light. All of it.

It's messed it up and it's made it possible. You know, like it's messed it up horribly by feeding on our culture's obsession with those left hemisphere, what bleeds leads, right? We have that negativity bias. And what people want to do is monetize their position on the internet. And the best way to monetize your position is to get the lion's share of attention.

And whatever gets the lion's share of attention is a cobra versus a puppy. So there's... There's a psychological and monetary pressure always pushing the Internet to frighten us more or to make us more angry at each other, to divide and polarize us. It's like this left hemisphere weapon that has just gone berserk.

And so like in America, there are these pockets of such extremely polarized political power. belief systems that all have their own information sets. And I don't know what the hell's true, but they all believe absolutely the way the left hemisphere believes. There's no open mind. On the other hand...

You know, when the brain wakes up, when it has the awakening experience, the fruit ripens and ripens and then it falls. Okay, so that, I think, may be this epigenetic switch going on in the brain and it flashes to the whole brain and changes everything. And I like to think of fractals, the different units of nature that tend to reproduce at larger sizes.

Like a twig is like a branch is like the trunk of a tree. So our brains may be like us. Our neocortex is very thin. It's just this thin surface of cells around the surface of the brain. Very, very interactive. And we are kind of like that. We're running around the surface of a sphere being very, very interactive and teaching each other ideas.

And if just one person awakens, you know, Buddha was awake. Jesus was awake. And Buddha never tried to save anybody but himself. But other minds caught that configuration. They switched on. And because we have the internet,

What used to take a whole national government to do to communicate with everyone in the world could happen from, like, a poor kid in Malawi who suddenly awakened and was able to put that into a message. Or, you know, Malala Yousaf. Like, everyone knows what this 15-year-old girl went through.

Even though the information would have been suppressed by the Taliban if they could have done it, but they can't do it anymore. So one awakened person now has the potential to touch the lives of literally everyone virtually for free.

I do. And I know that I am shaping an algorithm that is totally unrealistic because my world online is primarily otters. I loves me an otter. But, like, it's all the examples of love and joy that occur between people. And then I look at the headlines, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, when I first went to Africa, I'd heard, it's the dark continent. Everything is bad.
