The word peace means to agree.

And there are people that can really figure that out.

And so the way we solve the problems of the world in my mythological perspective is by having more and more people awaken to their genius.

And then those genius things are gifts that people bring.

And then we have to be honest with each other, like with our friend, the woman with the goldfish.

and say there's a reason why you are staying inside that little circle when the ocean is available and let's look at that and then we're back to the two things we're afraid of abandonment and overwhelm absolutely

And then we're living a real life because we're trying to be creative with our gifts and we're trying to bring healing to our wounds.

And so far, everyone who is human is wounded so far.

There may be an exception.

There's people that claim to be an exception, but they're really wounded.

Well, and they're usually putting their wound into other people.

It has to be somewhere.

And if I won't own it, I'm going to put it into someone else.

Which on a collective level is called autocracy.

These powerful men that are in charge.

You know, in the United States, we're like leading the way in the reinvention of autocracy.

And the people that are into this exaggerated masculine pretension of power are actually saying they have declared a war on empathy.

So how out of touch can you get?

And of course, if there's a war on empathy, it's a revelation.

They have no empathy for their own inner life.
