And that's because they've allowed us to mature and grow and grow wiser and grow closer to God and develop those spiritual qualities we talked about before, like kindness and generosity and joy and humility and honesty and That's what this 3D construct world is for. We've got a short, you know, there's a metaphor in the Baha'i faith.

There's some mystical writing that it's like, this physical world is like a banquet hall. And it's a sparrow flying through the banquet hall and it flies through and it bumps against the windows and it eats some grapes and some pie and it flies through and it flies on out. And that's life, is a sparrow flying through a banquet hall. I just love that image for some reason.

I'm not exactly sure why, but that's... That's what we're doing here. That's the purpose of physical reality. And, you know, the Buddha said, life is suffering. You can also translate it as there is suffering. We are in suffering. And guess what? There's a way out of suffering from non-attachment. And we can be freed from so much of our own suffering.

we could absolutely feed everyone on the planet. We could be living a very healthy, beautiful, amazing life. We're not there yet. You talked about humanity being in its turbulent adolescence, which is very true. And Humanity is going to head to rehab.

Yeah, the forces that you're referring to and you mentioned before is, again, another idea I stole from some Baha'i. I borrowed from some Baha'i ways of thinking. But I just love the way this phrase sums up so much of what's happening in our contemporary life. There are forces of integration, right? bumping up against working alongside forces of disintegration.
