Truths, I think, would be, number one, that we are divine beings. Not we've been told so much more than we've been led to believe about ourselves. And we've come to awaken that divinity within ourselves and within one another. Through that divinity, we love fearlessly and discover a level of love that allows the nations of this world
To come together and the leaders to look at one another in the eyes and ask the question, how much good can we do in the world before we leave? If my work in some way could influence that event, I would be so deeply honored and grateful.
And number three, to look back on all the good that has come from whatever it is that I've offered, whatever sense I've offered for people to think differently about themselves, because I love this world and the people. of this world and just to really bask in the fruition of all the good and all the beauty that we all know is possible in our hearts to bring that into the reality of the world.
I can't think of a better way.
And to come back on Lewis's podcast 200 years from now because we're going to have new mics and new cameras. Yeah, it's going to be amazing.
What you don't know is it's been a tough couple of weeks. It's really good for me to hear that. So thank you.
The definition of greatness is when we say yes to what the universe has brought to our doorstep, and then we do our very best, no holds barred, and that's all we can do. We have to be great. That's all we can do.
So our greatness is allowing our divinity, our light, our love, our skills, our talents to show through, to shine in this world and doing it in a way that brings joy to us and hopefully to the people around us.
In many respects, technology is advancing faster than our morality. The first time in the 200,000 years of our existence, we have the ability not only to change the world around us, but to forever change the world within us. When we make those changes in our biology, we can't go back.
So here we are at the precipice of giving our humanness away to technology within the context of a belief system that says we're flawed to begin with, and there's no reason not to do this, where the best science of the modern world is telling us just the opposite. And that context, I think, changes everything. Here's what it does. We're going to get through it. The question is, what do we become?
Do we allow the events unfolding in the world to drive us to hate? Or do those events awaken within us the deep truth of our love, our compassion, our forgiveness? It all comes down to love. Do we love ourselves enough?
Andre, it is so good to be back in the Know Thyself New and Improved studio, that new mics, and I'm appreciating being in exactly the place where so many of my brothers and sisters, colleagues, and people I've never met but I admire tremendously have been. It's an honor to be here with you. It's been a few months, and we're in a very different world now, and this is unscripted.
I'm excited to see where this conversation goes.
Wow, that's a big question to begin with. You know, in many respects, the technology is advancing faster than our morality. and our wisdom in terms of what the values are that we claim that we share as a human family. A perfect example of this. I think people sometimes learn better through example. I read an interview with Ray Kurzweil Ray Kurzweil, I think many people know, is a futurist.
He's an author, an inventor, and he is high in management at Google, developing the artificial intelligence. He recently released a book entitled Singularity, where he says that we are rapidly, unless something changes, we are rapidly moving toward a convergence of human biology and digital technology.
And when he was asked in the interview what that means to us, you know, of course, we're developing this technology at a lightning speed. It's like the floodgates have been opened and there's no stopping where that technology is going. And when he and others have been asked the question, what does that mean to us?
What does it mean for humans to merge our humanness into the Internet of all things with artificial intelligence? The answer is, I think is telling because he essentially says, don't ask me, I'm an engineer. My job is to push the technology as far and as fast as I can. He said, that's somebody else's bailiwick to determine what it means to us socially. And I think it's this disconnect.
And I think it is a disconnect. that we are empowering the technology within the context of a world we've been taught that we are powerless victims of our world, that we are a flawed species to begin with, that carbon-based life in general and humans specifically are a flawed species.
And through multiple generations, we have been led to believe, indoctrinated to believe that this is the case, that we need something outside of ourselves to be healthy in our bodies and to be successful in business and successful in life. So with that mindset, the development of the technology opens the door to us giving our power away
from our biology and from the potential of our humanness, relinquishing that power into the technology, computer chips in the brain, chemicals in the blood, RFID chips under the skin, nanobots moving through the circulatory system, artificial intelligence, and so much more. And we're seeing that movement now.
