They're touching your eardrums. And you, your nervous system, is now interpreting my thoughts. And we are so good at it, we don't give it a second thought. That's how powerful we are.

It's the meaning that we give to the words. That's the key.

It's the significance that we give to the word that we either tell ourselves about ourselves and believe. have to believe them, or that other people instill within us before the age of seven.

That's the beauty of our humanness and our divinity. We have the ability to choose. We must accept the responsibility with that choice that we choose to not to be defined by our past. That was a choice. It was a conscious choice I made when I was young. I looked at my father's life. I looked at the destruction, the emotional destruction. I looked at what it was doing to me.

And I said, now my younger brother, and I love my brother. And if he's watching this, I haven't talked to you for a while, brother, but I love you. He carries that hurt. and allows that to define his life. And so all of the misfortune, and this isn't nothing new, you've heard this, all the misfortunes, the bad relationships, the bad jobs, whatever it is, it's somebody else's fault.

You know, you're looking around you for the reasons And that is a fundamental shift in understanding our relationship to the world. We must choose, consciously or subconsciously, I'm not saying it's always a conscious choice, but on some level we choose to be defined by the circumstances of the past, or we choose to free ourselves. Human divinity is what allows us to do that.

If we don't have our human divinity, the ability to innovate, to imagine, to create, to love, These are all facets of human divinity. You begin to see why it's so important for us to preserve, to claim and preserve our humanness, our bodies. I think perhaps the greatest task that we're given as humans is to honor, preserve, protect the gift of our bodies.

Because once we relinquish our humanness to the technology, we'll never get it back. Once we give our humanness, once we give our biology away, we'll never get it back. And we become something very different. This is what Ray Kurzweil is talking about, and it's what the others are talking about. But it comes... down to something even deeper than that.

And if you're going to do a soundbite, maybe this is going to be the soundbite because not everybody's into the good and evil. Not everybody's into the technology and all of that. It comes down to love. The question that we all ask ourselves, do we love ourselves enough to accept the gift of our humanness

And the responsibility that comes with being a human and our divinity, expressing our divinity fearlessly in this world. That's the question we're all asking ourselves. And without a verbal answer, the choices that we make, the politics that we choose, the medical systems that we choose, the food that we eat, the wars that we create, or the peace that we create are the answer to that question.
