The Buddha says, all of this, it's an illusion. He says illusion. I say virtual reality. Virtual reality is an illusion. It matches. The Buddha said, yes, it's all about love and caring and so on. He had that right too. So I look at all these things and even take the shaman and all the rest of it. It all fits and it all connects. So that's the good thing about this model is it connects everything.
With everything you know and everything that's out there fits into the puzzle piece. All the pieces come together into a whole. And it's non-exclusive. Everybody's welcome. I have, like I said, I have religious people who are part of it. I have a lot of atheists that are part of it. And both of them think that they were right. You know, both of them, the atheists come in and said, I knew it.

You know, no supernatural being is just a system. It's not infinite. It is not perfect. And all that stuff doesn't make any sense. See, I was right all along. It's consciousness. And the religious people come in and they say, ah, yes, God is love. They say, oh, yeah, it's just like I thought all along.

So both extremes find themselves clearly defined here and both come to the conclusion that it's about kindness and caring and sharing. Because, you see, the opposite of that is materialism. Now, materialism has the ethic, has its own ethic. Materialism comes with an ethic, an attitude, a way of feeling about things. But the ethic in materialism is

There's stuff out there, and we can do whatever we want with it. So it's a matter of grabbing stuff and making it the way you want it. If you're too cold, well, find heat. Develop the technology for heat. If you're too hot, develop the technology for air conditioning or refrigeration. We see the world as a pile of stuff we can use, and the concept is grab as much of it as you can,

Make it suit you. It's all about you. It's self-centered. It's all about me. How can I be comfortable? How can I be powerful? Can I be whatever? And everybody is scrambling to optimize themselves with whatever they can grab out of the natural environment and however they can process that into something that's valuable. And that's our problem. We have that ethic of use and abuse.

And it doesn't matter a whole lot what you do to the next person. If you have to walk over them to get to where you're going, well, that's their problem. Survival of the fittest. You know, the fit rise to the top and the others get walked over. It's just the nature of life. That's an attitude. It's an ethic. And that ethic goes with materialism. There is no point or purpose.
