That's all politics is there.

It's this.

How do we deal with this diversity of opinion in a giant country?

And how do we execute the will of the people when so many people have different ways of thinking about this?

So that's one channel.

And then there's the next channel.

That's the mushroom channel.

That's the channel where suddenly you're like, wait a minute, I think you're just pretty much like me.

And I'm just like you.

And that...

leads to other channels, which is sort of a pure unified consciousness.

And if you get locked into that political channel, as many of us have been locked, like Tucker Carlson, you can feel it pulling you in like quicksand.

You can feel how it takes up all of your thought processes.

How if you're not careful in the middle of the day, you'll just be ruminating over whether what ICE is doing is correct in Portland, a city far away from you, not noticing anything around you, not thinking about anything other than whatever the algorithm has been injecting into your mind.

And this is a form of idolatry, Father, if you ask me, which is you begin worshiping

The state and you begin worshiping the story in the news or whatever you're encountering, which is default reality.

So you start bowing down to this idol with your attention.

And, you know, like, I'm sorry, I'll shut up in a second.

The stories of Krishna.

Which is people who are into bhakti yoga, that's one of the deities that they worship.
