And that's it.

So the ability to transcend, to become more than perceived.

Joe, you and I, our listeners, we are living limits that probably aren't even real.

We're living within limits that we have been indoctrinated to accept about ourselves.

Divinity is our ability to become the best version of ourselves.

Expressions of divinity, imagination.

I mean, no other form of life can do what we do with imagination.

I want to talk about that in just a moment.

It's more than just a picture in your mind.

An image in the mind is setting into motion a cascade of chemical effects in the human body that literally change us.

We are changed in the presence of the right kind of imagination, and the books tell us how to do that.

So imagination, creativity, innovation, empathy, sympathy, love, compassion, healing, forgiveness, these are expressions of human divinity.

It's what sets us apart.

From all the forms of life, it makes us such powerful beings.

The purpose of evil, and this might be the most important thing that we say today, because it's a nebulous concept, good and evil, until you give it a benchmark.

The purpose of evil is to deny human divinity.

Purpose of evil is to deny us our greatest expressions, imagination, creativity, the ability to communicate and share ideas, empathy, sympathy, self-healing, all of those things.

So in a very real sense, Joe, anything that denies those things is an expression of evil.

So when we find that algorithms are denying us the ability to communicate our ideas, from this perspective, that's an expression of evil.

When we find we put something into our bodies that prevents us from healing our own bodies, that is an expression of evil.
