TL;DW
Core Ideas and Philosophical Concepts:
Life as a Spiral Path:
Advancement in life involves cyclical ascents and descents, facing personal demons, and overcoming inner obstacles.
These obstacles, like a mountain to a climber, are essential for growth. The same forces that try to defeat us enable our transformation and elevation.
The Nature of Extreme Challenges:
Mountaineering and other extreme sports serve as metaphors for intense personal development. People engage in them not to escape fear but to face it head-on, drawing strength from hardship.
Relationships as Spiritual Practice:
Human relationships, especially romantic and familial ones, are among the most intense and transformational arenas for personal growth.
The drive to connect and create (to "beget") is innate and spiritual. People unite under shared missions or impulses to give birth to something new—children, art, ideas, or collective efforts.
The Impulse to Beget:
To "beget" (create or bring forth) requires both inspiration ("getting") and active participation ("being").
This creative process demands involvement, surrender, devotion, and humility. It mirrors divine creation and is the essence of becoming.
Devotion and Humility:
True creation involves devotion—sacrificing the self and submitting willingly to a higher calling or inspiration.
This includes taking on the challenges, responsibilities, and sacrifices necessary to manifest what one was inspired to create.
Alchemy and Transformation:
Transformation (e.g., “garbage in, treasure out”) is possible through spiritual processes like alchemy, which require a higher, subtle approach—transmuting base material into spiritual gold.
The Role of Christ and the Concept of Being ‘Sired’:
Christ is described as the "begotten Son of God," symbolizing a perfected human who embodies divine will through surrender and devotion.
Individuals can also be "sired" by the divine through the same process: inspiration, devotion, humility, and creation.
Desire (e.g., lust, pride) is the antithesis of being sired. It leads to selfishness and spiritual fall, often represented by the "sirens" of mythology and emergencies in modern life.
Spiritual Symbolism in Language:
A deep linguistic analysis connects concepts like “sire,” “desire,” “emergence,” and “emergency,” showing how language reveals spiritual truths.
Sirens (mythological or literal alarms) signify temptations or crises that either derail or initiate transformation.
Corporations vs. True Being:
Corporations are described as soulless entities that have legal personhood but lack spiritual substance.
True accountability and spiritual creation require a monad—a real being with soul and essence.
Reflection on Artistic Purpose and Divine Timing:
A personal story is shared about the dream of becoming a filmmaker and producing The Lord of the Rings. Although it didn’t materialize as planned, it led to the realization that such visions may serve to guide rather than define one’s true path.
Loss or redirection (e.g., through illness or unmet goals) can act as an emergency that catalyzes the emergence of one’s real work or identity.
Final Takeaways:
Creation is both a divine act and a personal responsibility.
True transformation and spiritual birth require surrender, humility, and the conscious overcoming of selfish desires.
Crises and obstacles are integral to becoming—emergencies create opportunities for emergence.
Devotion, not ambition, is the gateway to becoming aligned with a higher purpose and being spiritually “sired.”
Live Stream Summary
This is a summary of transcript of a live stream discussion, reflecting on personal insights, challenges, and the journey of self-discovery and creativity. The speaker emphasizes the importance of devotion, overcoming obstacles, and the interplay between desire and the creative process.
Introduction to the New Year
The speaker opens with a greeting and reflects on the technical difficulties experienced during the live stream, humorously acknowledging them as a fitting start to the new year. They celebrate the beginning of their fifth season of content creation, emphasizing that their focus is on quality rather than quantity in their audience reach.
The Nature of Spontaneity
The speaker discusses the spontaneous nature of their live streams, often not knowing the topic until shortly before the event. This spontaneity is linked to their role as a messenger, suggesting that insights often come just in time for sharing. They highlight the significance of being present in the moment and how challenges can lead to growth, drawing parallels with mountaineering and the need to face one's demons.
Relationships and Creativity
The speaker reflects on relationships, suggesting that they can be seen as extreme sports due to their inherent challenges and emotional intensity. They argue that the impulse to unite with others is fundamental to the creative process, whether in personal relationships or collaborative artistic endeavors. The discussion transitions into the nature of devotion, stating that true devotion involves selflessness and a willingness to serve others.
The Role of Devotion
In this section, the speaker elaborates on the concept of devotion, equating it with humility and the necessity to let go of ego. They argue that to be truly devoted to one's craft or relationships, one must surrender personal desires and focus on the collective vision and task. The narrative emphasizes that the act of creation requires input and inspiration from others, reinforcing the idea that collaboration is vital to the creative process.
Overcoming Desire
The speaker discusses the challenges posed by desire, contrasting it with the concept of being sired or inspired. They explain that desire can lead to selfishness, while true inspiration fosters creativity and selflessness. The importance of recognizing and overcoming these temptations is emphasized as a necessary step in the journey toward personal and artistic growth.
Conclusion: Embracing Emergencies
In concluding remarks, the speaker encourages viewers to embrace the emergencies and challenges that life presents as opportunities for growth. They reiterate the idea that each ending is a new beginning, urging listeners to reflect on their past experiences and how they can inform their future endeavors. The session ends with a call to action, encouraging viewers to devote themselves to their passions and to remain open to the inspiration that arises from life's challenges.

Original Video Description:
This will be the first episode of our fifth season on Attlas in Formation. As such, it is only fitting that we explore the transitional period wherein the old, outgoing dies, and the new, incoming is born. Every ending is a "knew beginning" in the sense that knowledge is born when ignorance dies. And as we emphasize so often in our words, through our works, and on this channel, the knowledge we SEEK is self-evident experiential knowledge. That suggests that the death of ignorance means the death of its causes; which happen to also be the causes of suffering. And it so happens that the week leading up to and following New Year's Eve has afforded me such experiential knowledge that at last dissolved remnants of ignorance and made way for new insights; insights that I will be sharing with you. Join us Sunday at 2pm Eastern, as always, as we explore, together said insights and their implications for us in 2025 and beyond.
Full Video Transcript
"Hello. Hello and welcome, boy. That's zoomed in a little bit too much. And, hopefully that's. I don't know how we ended up getting zoomed in so much. Let's, let's go with that. Am I out of focus?"
"Well, we have some,"
"What a great way to begin our, our new year with, technical difficulties. Anyway, happy New Year, everyone. Nice to have you here at the beginning of a of a new year. This is our fifth season together. While you might not have been around for for all four previous seasons, but I've certainly been here. And, so it's kind of,"
"Well, it's kind of a big deal. It's not that big a deal. There are plenty of YouTube channels that have been around for longer than that, and certainly there are much, much bigger YouTube channels. But as you know, I'm not here, seeking those kinds of numbers and. Right. It's it's it's not quantity. It's quality that, that we're after."
"And. On that note, or more aptly put in that spirit. I wanted to make sure that we all had an opportunity to get the new year started on the right foot, and perhaps even with a new outlook. Based on some insights which I have received even in the last 72 hours, when, as you know, that is not. Unusual for me."
"And, and our live streams, as you know very well. The announcements for these live streams come very often less than 24 hours before the live stream. So and I've expressed many times how the reason why I can't tell you a week in advance or even a couple days in advance what the topic of the live stream will be is because I haven't been given it."
"I haven't received the topic yet. I don't know what I need to share with you. On Sunday at 2:00 in the afternoon. And because I don't know in advance, I can't possibly, you know, create a thumbnail and and a and a title and a theme and, and a description because I don't know what it's going to be."
"And that's very often the case. That's, that's usually the case. It's not that it doesn't enter into my mind throughout the week. What, what we could be talking about or, you know, what topic, but it's very much."
"You know, necessity is the mother of invention. Or so they say. And information is on a need to know basis. And it is rather important for myself as a messenger for the work that I'm here to do to practice and be practiced. In the spontaneity. Of the moment."
"For instance, we have our first comment for today, and I think it's I might as well share this with all of you. As as he says, he can't even remember how many seasons he's been here for. I certainly hope the answer in you, in the back of your mind as as well, isn't, too many?"
"It may feel like that sometimes. It may feel like that sometimes. And that's good. That's good. Because that means there's something inside of you that's very annoyed and perturbed and upset that you choose to spend this precious time on a Sunday evening in your case, or for others, a Sunday afternoon, or perhaps for others, a Sunday morning."
"Exploring this crazy spiral path of the, of life that is represented behind me here. And Azazel says, nah. Looking back, apparently all of the seasons, although not being there in all of them, As long as it's not too many seasons. But again, this, this. Now, you know, when I talk about the spiral path, I'm not referring to the spiral path that Master Sam Allen."
"But your talks about the path of the nirvana, the path of the practical Buddha's. That's a different application of the spiral path, and one that certainly Master Samael did not advocate for. So there comes a time when. In many ways, it's not that we abandon this spiral path, the, of life. We cannot abandon it. It is the only methodology that we have."
"It is the it is the analogous ultimate methodology. It is the only way to advance. It is the only way to evolve. We have to ascend and descend. Ascending. Descend. Ascending. Descend. Because we have to face our demons. We have to face that which obstructs us and prevents us from becoming who we truly are. But you also know if you've been around here for a while, you also know that the very phenomena that obstruct us, constitute our means to advance in the same way that the mountain."
"Is what the mountain climber conquers the climber. The mountaineer conquers the mountain. But when he ascends to the peak of that mountain, he cannot. He cannot but accept the fact that he, if he has achieved great heights of mountaineering, it is only because of the mountain that is now beneath his feet. The very mountain that was trying to kill him and make him fall with every handhold and every foothold that he had to outwit, outsmart, outmaneuver, out, endure with constitution, with stamina, with willpower to overcome the coldness, to overcome the exhaustion."
"To overcome the doubt, the insecurity, the self-doubt, the self-talk of all this is too hard. And oh, I was crazy to ever try this, and I I'm I'm not good enough. I'm not strong enough, or this is too dangerous or this is too treacherous. That mountain is treacherous. Mountaineering is treacherous. There is no avoiding it. And there's no point in pretending that it isn't."
There is also no point in facing that treachery and facing that isn't facing that path up the mountain. Without being conscious of the objective truth.
"That it is the act of conquering that treachery and overcoming that obstacle, and all the all its many obstacles along the way. All the little mini dramas, all the little mini crises, the mini emergencies along the way."
"That are directly responsible for whatever level, whatever heights we ascend to."
"We are only there as mountaineers. We can only get there through the act of mountaineering, through the act of climbing that mountain."
"So, as with many, many things in life, perhaps all things in life, there's a sort of I hesitate to use the words love, hate, relationship."
"We don't have to, indulge any hate or hatred or fear or anything negative. It's a love love relationship. It's just so happens that the nature of love is severity and mercy, and that dual nature of love that can coexist simultaneously and and in complete harmony. Because the two, the two aspects complement one another and they serve one another."
"And they, they constitute this whole which is greater than the sum of its parts. It's the severity and mercy of the, of life. It says, with every revolution we have to descend into hell. The severity of looking at ourselves and looking at the causes of suffering within ourselves, that which causes us and others suffering our defects, our vices, that which obstructs and obscures."
And tempts and tricks and and exploits and violates. And all these other. Functions of mechanical nature.
"We have to face that there is no avoiding that. A mountaineer cannot avoid the mountaineering right. A mountaineer cannot avoid climbing mountains, because if he avoids climbing mountains, he's not much of a mountaineer, is he?"
"Can he can. Can we honestly go around calling ourselves master mountaineers if we avoid mountain climbing? It's self-evident. And mountain climbing is hard. It is a severe kind of spot. It's, it's it's possibly. You know, one of the first so-called extreme sports. Nowadays we have many, many, many kinds of extreme sports. Of course we have. We have rock climbing, right?"
"With with no with no ropes and no cables and no, picks or devices of any kind. Just your bare hands and the sheer rock face. Right. That's that's, of course, is an offshoot. It's a it was sired by the, the the great Grand daddy of extreme sports. This, you know, mountaineering. But we also have everything from like BMX to skydiving to, you know, hand gliding."
"And then there's. What's that? Base jumping and we have the motorized machines. Right? We have the, the Moto Motocross and the people doing loop de loops and all kinds of aerial acrobatics with, you know, a several hundred pound, motocross, Machine."
"There is no, there is no, shortage of extreme sports. And they're hard. They're severe. But why do people do them? Because they love the severity. They love the focus and concentration. They love getting into the zone. That putting their life on the line and having and having everything in the hanging in the balance and facing their fear."
"Their fear of death. Their fear of making a mistake. The fear of failure because when you climb a mountain, when you you know the mountain is unforgiving. The sheer rock face, the cliff that someone is rock climbing up is unforgiving. Gravity is unforgiving. The wind and the cold. These are unforgiving. These are mechanical nature."
"To face that, the raw mechanistic, which does not care about you, your feelings, or whether you live or die. Gravity does not care. Gravity is incapable of caring. Because gravity, what we call gravity, is just a mechanical algorithm."
"It is a formula in the cosmic spreadsheet which defines this reality in which so many seek out danger. And they love it. Now you can argue that oh, let me let let me get to a comment first and will continue as as I said, that is true. I still love and hate my ex for still loving her and gave up any new love ever since."
"And he says there's more to that, obviously, but that would be the simple, expression to it."
This is there's possibly probably no greater extreme sport.
Than that of relationship.
And.
"The reason why that is. Is self-evident to everyone who has had a relationship of any kind. Particularly romantic. But just as assuredly the intensity of relationship that comes with, for example, family."
"How many people do you know of have picture perfect family relationships like those depicted on The Cosby Show or, or Family Ties or, you know, any number of, of sitcoms from the 80s and 90s? Yes, sure. They had their little family dramas on TV and yes, they had their little disputes and so on. But, oh, it was always everything was always peachy keen at the end."
"And they all got back together and made up and etc. etc. you know as well as I do that families like that are so rare and that and that. And I'm not saying that the average family is more like, you know, married with children. If you're familiar with that show or all in the family or, you know, Red foxes, show from the 70s."
"I'm really dating myself now. I don't know how many dysfunctional families have been on TV in the last 20 years, because I haven't really watched TV much. You know, there was the Big Bang Theory, but that's not really a family. But it was a family of friends. And there too, there was a lot of backstabbing and conniving, but they all made up in the end."
"You might say that that was, a bit of a dysfunctional, group of friends. Then there was the show friends that everybody you know, I don't know, dreamt of. You know, this was their utopian vision of what a group of friends should be. But there's no greater extreme sport in terms of human psychology and the human condition."
Then. Then the challenge to get along with one another and to beget something together with others. It is a great challenge. And it is such a great challenge that we humans are.
"We find it irresistible. We are called together. We are drawn together, by forces which. For most of us, for most people, they are unconscious forces. And those forces?"
Draw. Call us. Attract us one another together under the banner of some shared perspective or shared calling or shared mission. Shared purpose.
And even.
"Under something as crude and as primitive and mechanical. As a corporation which has no soul but what enlivens it and what animates it, is this common shared vision of those who have come together under the banner of that heartless, soulless entity called the Corporation, which which. Has somehow swindled its way into the legal system as an entity, a legal entity under the law."
It's a person. A corporation is a person under the law. Imagine that. That.
That a mechanical non entity and a mechanical non reality and illusion has managed to swindle its way into our legal system as a person under the law.
"And it is comical. It's as comical as it is tragic that corporations cannot serve time. Corporations cannot do community service. They cannot go to jail. And they certainly cannot be, cannot suffer the ultimate punishment of capital punishment."
"So what's the only recourse that the legal system has in the face of a corporation? Oh, well, a corporation can pay a fine."
"And they often do. And the fines that they pay are a pittance and they're tax deductible, which means in the end of the day, the corporation doesn't end up paying anything."
"But it's a way for to give the appearance that corporations, as a person under the law, can be held accountable. No, they can't. Because the only law that truly matters is the great law, the great law of Cause and effect. And only human beings can be held accountable under that law. And to be held accountable under that law, one must be in the money, must be in the possession of a monad."
"In other words, one must be real. At the very core of one's being, one must be. In other words."
"A corporation isn't. A corporation doesn't exist. A corporation is a fabrication on a piece of paper. It is a construct. It is a like so much of the reality that we believe is real. It is a construct. And like my good friend Wolfgang would say, it's a temporary construct. It. But that construct has managed to. Trick and talk its way."
"Into the legal system. As an entity, as a person. Under the law."
"So the real. Drivers. Of the vehicle that we call a corporation, or the vehicle that we call a nation with a vehicle that we call a family, or the vehicle that we call a relationship."
"Are the monads, the souls, the beings?"
And their irresistible.
"Impulse to unite with one another in various different ways on various different levels. Because we can talk about familial relationship, we can talk about platonic relationships. We talk about business relationships. We talk about artistic relationship, and of course, romantic relationships."
"There are all, you know, paternal relationships, maternal relationships, fraternal relationships."
"And all of these relationships are predicated upon the impulse. That for many, is unconscious."
To come together and unite with others. One other. In the form of a spouse.
"And in that impulse to come together, the impulse is not. That's coming together."
Uniting is the means to beget something.
"And that impulse, then, can have multiple levels to it as to what is begotten and, and, and the understanding of the individuals as to why they are attracted to one another, why they were called together, why they were drawn to each other. Not just couples in a romantic relationship, but individuals, artists, let's say musicians, for example. They're drawn together and they decide, let's form a band."
"Well, why do why do people do that? Why? Why don't artists as musicians, especially? Why do they not just perform solo?"
"Why do they come together and then name themselves as a band? They give rise, they give birth to this new entity called our band."
Why?
"There's only one reason. There's only one reason. And that reason is to create. To beget something. And the wonderful Monty Python would say it's. It's such a wonderful Woody word. Beget. Because to beget something. Is it's has nothing to do with what you get. It's it's what you give. And that's the, the irony of that, of that."
"The irony of that, word beget is that it has the word get in it."
But it doesn't mean.
"It doesn't mean to to get what you what you take, what you get out of it."
"And it. These two words, this this word to be right."
To beget. It's.
The I the irony here is that this. This is everything related to what you give.
Right. What you what you what you give. What you create.
"What you, sire."
To beget.
And whatever it is.
"That you give. That you create. That you sire. That you, that you, that you share. We can use all sorts of words, but this."
Is something that is born.
"And so we have those verses from the Bible that use this, this phrase to, to beget and the first begotten son. For example. And so and so begot sons, and begot this. And you know, it's it means giving birth. So it's not just anything that you that you give, it's, it's but every anything that you create, you give birth to."
But so why this word get. Why why does that.
Get involved.
And that's the hidden secret.
"Because even we have that expression that I just said, right? To get in Volved."
Involved has hidden within it the word to evolve. But you're not evolving. You're involving. Also known as involution.
"When you get involved, you are becoming a part of something else."
"So you get involved in a band. You become a part of that band. You become a part of that relationship with your spouse. What do you do? You beget children and now you are involved as a family. You are involved with a family. And that family evolved, was born from. Was begotten."
"Because of the impulse for two individuals to come together, to beget children. To give birth to children, to create, to sire."
To sire children.
"And it is the same for the band members. The musicians who get involved in order to create music together. To beget. Because their impulse is to be, they must be the musician. They must be the vehicle, the vessel for their innermost being."
But there is this but to beget something to sire requires that we we.
Achieve union with someone else. We must get. We must receive.
What it is. That we are. That we are creating. We cannot create on our own.
A human being cannot produce a single. A single individual cannot sire a child. A single individual cannot. Cannot start a family.
"Now, you might argue that a single individual. Can be an artist. Can be a musician."
"So where is that? Where is the get in that? Well, does not an artist, any artist, even a single artist working alone with his paints in his canvas? Does he not get."
Inspired.
To beget.
One must receive. One must get. In order to be. And the implication here is that unless you beget. Your. You won't. You will not be.
"Because until a person gets inspired, until an individual."
Or a collective.
"So this is one or, two plus, Until an individual gets inspired or a collective gets involved with one another, they cannot beget, they cannot create, they cannot sire. Think of the individual. He has his canvas. He has his paint brushes. Is he an artist yet?"
You see an artist. When does he. When can he call himself an artist? When can he call himself a painter? When can you call yourself a musician? A composer? A songwriter?
"You must get involved with the act of of composing, songwriting, singing, whatever it is of mountain climbing. As I said earlier, to call yourself a mountain climber or to be a mountaineer, you must get involved in the act of mountaineering. You must experience. And more than just experience, you must create."
The accomplishment. Of that experience.
"To be one who performs. Who gets involved with. But before you can get involved, you have to get inspired. You must receive the impulse. Do you not? Who goes off and climbs a mountain without receiving the impulse to do so?"
"Without who? Who, who becomes a musician or a singer songwriter or a poet or a painter or a performer of any kind. An actor, a filmmaker. Director who who does that without first getting inspired?"
To be get to create.
And thus be one who creates.
One must first receive. One must first get.
"And we could use other words here. We could use words like,"
"Let's. See if we can. Let's use this one. We can use words like, right. Get imagination."
"There's lots of in words, imagination, inspiration, insight."
"But we can also take a more mundane word, called, motivated motivation."
We can. Have circumstances. And our response to circumstances motivates us.
To take action. The reason why I say motivation is a very mundane word. Because there are all sorts of.
Impulses that can motivate us. We can be. So we can be motivated by mechanical impulses as well.
"Hunger, pride. Greed."
"And by pride. I mean, like the desire for fame, right? Narcissism. But we can also be motivated by fear and the need for validation, the need for the approval of others. A great many performers, a great many stand up comedians began as class clowns. Or the equivalent. Why? Because they they so desperately wanted to be heard, to be loved, to be received, to be validated."
"And they discovered that one of the most powerful ways to achieve the approval of others is to make them laugh, is to entertain them. Because if you can make them feel good, then they're going to see you as an asset and they're going to see you. They're always going to associate that good feeling of that good humor with you."
"They will make that association, so they will always have generally good feelings about you. Oh, he's a great guy. He's great to have around. Yeah, he's very charming or he's very funny or he's very this he's very that. Right. And they have only good things to say about you. And, and that's a, that's a motivation that many people have had who, who have become stand up comedians."
"And other types of performers, because they because going back to the extreme sports example for a moment, there's something that extreme sports can give you that I frankly am not sure. I'm not sure if you can get this mountain climbing, but you can certainly get it doing a lot of the other extreme sports that people have have, discovered in practice."
"And that's called, the adrenaline rush. And adrenaline is a powerful neurotransmitter that people can become addicted to, just like dopamine and. I can tell you from personal experience that there are few."
"Rushes greater. Than the combination of adrenaline and dopamine that you experience from stepping out on stage in front of an audience. Because at the beginning, it's adrenaline and it's cortisol. It's a pure stress response and a fear response."
"And even some of the most famous actors, both stage and screen, but particularly stage, because we're talking about stepping out in front of an audience. Many of them, even went so far as to have a bucket on hand ready for them to vomit into mere moments before the curtain went up."
"And yet they faced that fear. And I can tell you, the moment you step out on stage, the fear vanishes and all that is left is this adrenaline. And then the, the, the dopamine rush that comes when the audience stands up and applauds your performance. That, that that outpouring of approval of appreciation. Right. So there's this there's this unbelievable, like roller coaster of endorphins and, you know, neurotransmitters and neurochemicals that it's this crazy wave that you ride each and every time you step out on stage to the end of the performance."
"And then, of course, if your performance is received it positively, then you also have the after effect, you have the after party, you have the next day, you have the, the positive reviews, you have the adoring fans and all the rest of it that goes along with that."
"All of these, right, constitute and come together and can create a powerful, powerful. Chemical soup."
And emotional. Psychological motivation.
"And you see that a lot. You see that a lot a lot of people in Hollywood and elsewhere, even though. Initially they may have had inspiration and they may have had, a being impulse to beget, to create something beautiful, magical. But so many of them, where do you see them ending up? I mean, just just for the sake of working, for the sake of surviving or for the sake of of being able to support a lifestyle or to live in Hollywood, for example, and be able to support a lifestyle that is seen as required in order to be part of the club."
"You see actors, for example, taking on roles that have no merit from any sort of spiritual, psychological or artistic perspective. It's just the lowest form of base entertainment base, indulgence of animal impulses. It's the equivalent of it's the equivalent of someone who went to culinary arts school with the dream of becoming a michelin star chef, or who ends up working for McDonald's, or working for another one of these chain restaurants, you know, creating."
"Whatever dishes that are then going to be pumped out on a on an assembly line to, to hundreds if not thousands of, of restaurants, sent to that, sent out in frozen, frozen version to be microwaved or heated up in the oven or whatever."
"They may have began in them the impulse to be an artist, to be a chef, to be a culinary master. But in the end, they succumb to the other motivations to be a. You know, Still be involved in feeding people, but now using their their interest and expertise in food to create garbage."
Because to beget.
"To create. We have another expression that relates to all of this. And,"
"We're going to go back to, read for this. I think, and that's this."
This.
In other words.
What you create. Is directly related to what you get. What you received. What you beget is dependent on what you get. Or more aptly put. From whom or from what did you get it?
What was the source?
Was it a source or was it?
The source. What was the source?
"That's that's ego. That's. That's garbage in, garbage out. But what if it's not garbage in?"
"But your output, what you beget is dependent on what you get. What goes into the process determines what comes out of the process. There is. Only one. Case. There is only one phenomenon."
"That allows us to, to transcend this."
And.
"I'm curious if you guys can guess or if you can intuit more aptly, what that phenomenon is."
Because there is a phenomenon. There is a case where you can take something.
"But even then, even then, we must be very clear that even that act of begetting, that act of transformation."
Or.
Transmutation.
"We can effectively take, put, take garbage in and put treasure out."
"The other word, of course, for this is alchemy."
And alchemy is the process of transmuting base metals into gold. Right. LED.
Into into gold.
"So. Garbage in, treasure out."
"But the process by which we do that must involve, an aspect."
"That a a higher aspect you can't take. You cannot transmute lead into gold by just working with the processes of, you know, mechanical nature."
Alchemy does not take place mechanically.
"It requires a golden touch to make gold. Right. You can't take lead and apply a lead in a heavy handed lead. In touch and expect to get gold out of it. So in that sense, garbage in, garbage out still applies. You can take lead and apply a more subtle approach. A superior approach, a gold, an approach, an enlightened approach."
"And working with those base substances plus the substances that are transcendent. The salt, the sulfur, the mercury, the water. And in that alchemical laboratory. We can take garbage in and in the alchemical laboratory of the superior process. We can transform and transmute that. That garbage in into, we can make this into, garbage in, treasure out."
"Say garbage in, gold out. And then you can spell it the same way. Garbage in, garbage out, garbage in, gold out. Or, or, you know, treasure out."
That's alchemy. That's transmutation.
"But still, we cannot get away from the fact that to be get."
"We have to receive. There has to be an input in order for there to be an output. And yes, the output is transformed in some way. And it's something new. It's something novel. There's novelty there, there's originality there. This is something that's."
Born a new.
And it is this impulse.
"To beget. That attracts human beings to one another. Because the impulse, for example, for a man to become a father."
"To have a family. To sire children. Requires a mother. And that same impulse for a woman to become a mother requires a father. Well, okay. Nowadays. Fine. It just requires a fertility clinic. And that's a sad and tragic shame that that exists."
Because a true family has both the masculine and feminine forces in it.
"In order to beget children and a healthy, environment in which to raise those children."
"I don't want to open up a can of worms about divorce and single mothers and, you know, and and, you know, broken families and all the rest of it because, of course. There are many, many, many different arrangements and circumstances that have affected families and still do so, but in principle and in simplicity. The band members, the musicians, in order for them to be able to create the music that they know is within them, to beget, because they've received the inspiration they've received in their imagination, the tune or the this or the that or the other thing."
"Right? They need to receive from the other band members that which I'll chemically transmute transmutes and transforms and combines and complements and cancels and fills in the blanks and all the different or all the different possibilities is all the different possible permutations and combinations of. When you bring pieces of the puzzle together, you bring these ingredients and you throw them into a cauldron."
"You throw them into the pot. You heat the pot with the fire of passion, and you stir the pot and lo and behold, what comes out of the pot."
"Perhaps one of the most delicious stews ever created. And that's when it's really cooking. And when artists, musicians, for example, or or improv actors on stage or sketch comedy artists writing and rehearsing and workshopping new skits together, or writers workshopping, episodes for television or a film script together. Or actors on stage rehearsing scenes together."
"And when they bring what they have to the table and they start, you know, workshopping back and forth with one another, it's like a tennis match. You serving the tennis ball into their court, and they're responding with a backhand or a forehand or a smash or this or that. It's like fencing. It's like dancing. It's like anything that involves two or more people coming together to get involved, to to get engaged with one another."
"And it's interesting how it's the same damn word engagement. It's like a wedding engagement. Why do people get married? Well, they get married to have children. They get married to start families. They get married to sire."
"And it's this fiery passion inside of artists, but they feel the same thing to to be inspired in order to sire."
To be inspired.
In order to sire.
"And. This. Clearly. This word. Inspired. Clearly. The source of that is spirit. But the word spirt itself, right, refers to, the tower, the pinnacle of a tower. Right. Aspire the highest point. That's why we call them spires."
And so that.
Is this whole relationship. The the.
"Relationship of impulses within us that leads to relationships that are productive, that are creative, that beget in the world, that bring into the world that create that, that allow us to sire."
And we have this right to be part.
And.
"The spirit is the being. And as we said, to be to beget."
"I guess I'll, Whoops. No, I didn't want to do that."
"To beget. To be and get as in receive. And when you put those two things together, you create. That's the begotten. That's the siring."
"But as I said before. In order for you to be an artist, in order for you to be a musician."
You have to first get and get involved and get inspired and get active.
And you must.
Belief.
"You must belief, which is a middle English word which means to submit. Willingly."
You must belief.
Another word to submit. To serve.
Is to surrender.
Yes. You get inspired. You get imagination.
But that's not enough.
"That vision, what you receive, that impulse."
We talked about getting involved and becoming involved with that.
To serve or submit or surrender willingly.
"We can say that all of this, the Middle English, you know, to Billy to to leaf."
To belief.
We can say you must devote.
Yourself.
"You devote yourself to what you receive, to the inspiration, to the vision."
Or the task or the work or the mission or the art or whatever.
"You devote yourself to this, to that which you got."
That's what it means to belief. This is devotion as opposed to just getting involved.
You devote yourself.
"Now, that's an interesting word de vote."
"You guys in the states had an election not too long ago, and we in Canada, thank God we should be heading into an election. And then, not too far off in our future. Touchwood."
"And hopefully in that election, if he doesn't resign ahead of time in that election, we'll have an opportunity to devote Trudeau. But isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting?"
"That devotion. Comes from the root word meaning to devote, to devote yourself."
"Now, if voting for yourself puts yourself."
"Into a position of power. Into a position of authority. As one might surmise, like in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End, when all the pirate with all the pirate lords get together and vote on who will be the new Pirate King, and they. There's never a pirate King because all the pirates always vote for themselves."
"Until in the film, captain Jack Sparrow surprises everyone by voting for Elizabeth Swann."
"And in doing so, he devotes himself."
"Everyone votes themselves into the position of King of the Pirates. The captain Jack. He devotes himself and instead he votes for Elizabeth Swann. He votes for another. The vision, the tasks, the work, the collective vision and task and work and if you've ever worked on a team or if you've ever worked on, in any and any collaboration of any kind."
"Including a relationship, you know how often you must devote yourself and how often your devotion is tested again and again and again and again and again, over and over and over. Our devotion is put to the test."
Is not devotion the act of devoting yourself?
Can we not call this humility?
"And to submit, to serve and to surrender willingly to that task. And remember, that task is to beget, to sire."
And that in the act of siring.
"When we create, when we accomplish, when we achieve, when we beget. When we manifest the vision, the task, the work, the mission, the art. When we succeed. Because of humility and our devotion to submit willingly to that vision, to that impulse, to that drive. To to to do what it is we are here to do. And thus, in the doing of that."
We belief. We be we become.
"By devoting ourself to the act of climbing the mountain, we become a mountaineer."
"By devoting ourselves to our art, we become an artist. By devoting ourself to our music, we become a musician. By devoting ourselves to the band, we become a band member."
Possibly even the band leader.
And by devoting ourselves to the people.
"We become a great servant of the people. Potentially, perhaps even a representative or a leader of them. Because of our devotion. Because that's the true nature of leadership. True, true leadership is is the utmost in humility."
To submit willingly to the will of the people. Right? That's what a that's what democracy is supposed to be. Ideally.
Because there is a will associated with this.
"Our free will. Yes. To submit willingly and devote ourselves in humility to this inspired vision, this inspired task, in order to sire. And in that process of siring."
We can be sired.
We are sired.
All right. That's a be. We can be sired ourselves.
"Right. And the example again. In the act, in the process of climbing."
You can be a climber.
One who climbs. One who devotes themselves. To the extreme sport of mountain climbing. Or to art or to music or to our family. To our spouse. To our children.
But we devote ourself. And if you devote yourself enough right?
"Yes. And you, sire. And what you sire, through your devotion, you become. But. But through that process, you're constantly devoting yourself. Then the outcome of that is you become more and more self less."
To be sired.
To sire.
"Okay. Benjamin has a comment here, and then I'll we'll we'll continue in a moment. He says, thank you for sharing that perspective. It's a beautiful thought, devoting as losing our ego cells truly resonate and adds depth to the idea of devotion. Placing Christ at the center is such a powerful reminder. All right. Well, you're getting ahead of us, but that you always do, Benjamin."
"And so let's let's continue on that thought, on that, on that. It's not even a thought, that insight, that intuition that you, you you already know where we're headed with this. You already know where we're headed with this."
Okay. Because Christ.
"Let's see if we can. Okay. Christ. What is Christ known as? Or one of his many, many, many, many, many names. And is he not known as the only let's let's let's leave off the only. For now. Let's just stay with. Is he not?"
The begotten son. Of God.
"Is he not known as the begotten Son of God? I mean, I think that's I think we can all agree on that. The Son of God."
"In other words, Christ."
Is.
To be the begotten Son of God means. That means to be sired.
By God.
"And but not just God, but also. Right. The Holy Spirit."
The source of inspiration. And the Holy Spirit is masculine and feminine. The Holy Spirit is also the Divine Mother.
"We mustn't forget her. And she's a very important part of the Christian story. Mary and Jesus was born of Immaculate Conception, right? He was. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. He was conceived. What is the conception? Yes, there's immaculate conception. Yes, there's conception in the sense of the sperm entering the egg. But there's also a concept, a conception and inception oven of inspiration, of an idea that we, when we are inspired by a vision, a task, a work, a mission that we devote ourselves to."
"That is a conception. That is not yet a manifestation, that is not yet a creation. There is a process that we must undergo. Then we must undertake in order to sire that which was conceived and conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, that which was inspired God was put in spirit. That which is conceived as the is, is, is that conception was in spirit."
It was an inspiration.
But Mary has to still give birth.
To the product of that conception.
"That manifestation is a process. And and that child must grow up. It must be nurtured. He must be taught, you know, he must be disciplined. He must be, mentored. He must be given a framework. And a foundation."
He must be given.
"Some structure, but also freedom within that structure. And then once he becomes, he comes of age, freedom to leave the confines of that structure, to go off to India, to Tibet, to Asia, major and minor."
And explore and learn and discover.
"In other words, to be sired."
To be sired. To become the begotten Son of God.
Because God the Father.
"Through the Holy Spirit, the Divine Mother. What father? Does not have the longing to sire."
What artist does not have the longing to make art? To sire. Art? What creator does not long to sire creation.
But the great law.
Is the law of free will.
"And in order for us to sire. According to the inspiration that we receive. We must submit ourselves willingly. We must devote ourselves in humility, and only thus can we sire."
"And in the process of siring, through our devotion, we too may become. Sired. We too can be sired."
"And what does that mean? To be sired? If the king sires us through the process of inspiration. That we devote ourselves to. And in the process of devoting ourselves fully and completely, we become selfless. Selfless in our siring of what the Holy Spirit."
Conceived within us.
Then we to shall be sired. This is how we are sired.
"If the Holy Spirit chose one sperm from the billion that was in Joseph. So that Joseph and Mary could practice white Tantra sexual alchemy and transform the the lead of lust into the gold of love, and literally make love."
"So having the union as a husband and wife are lawfully under the great law. They are married when they unite one another sexually. A man and a woman are married under God, under the Holy Spirit, under the Great Law. When they have sex, if they do not have sex, they are not married."
"That's a fact. That's a spiritual, metaphysical, scientific fact."
"That's why marriages must be so-called, consummated under the law. And if they are not consummated, they can be annulled because the marriage is not valid. A couple is not married. So it is impossible for Mary to have been a virgin, as we understand the term that someone who has never had sex, this is an impossibility. But this is also not the meaning of the word virgin and the meaning of Immaculate Conception and the meaning of scientific chastity has nothing to do with whether or not you engaged in the sexual act."
It has everything to do with fornication.
"And if you allowed your well, and if you allowed your lower natures."
To take the best of you. To have the to to to to vote yourself and vote your lust.
And vote the antithesis. To being sired and to siring the Son of God.
To be a sire of God. One who is. Who has been sired.
To be sired.
The antithesis of this and the obstruction and the nullification is of course.
Desire.
Fornication.
Giving into lust. Pride. Envy. Greed. Fear. Anger. Gluttony. Laziness.
That which de sire us. That which puts that that's which. The that makes us selfish.
"Whereas we know to be sired. To become one with. To be counted among the begotten children of God. To be. To be counted among the great multiplicity of the Christ, the begotten sons and daughters of God. But we are all sons because we are at the level of the Christ, at the level of the monad. We are androgynous."
"We don't have a sex. We are both male and female. We just use the word son because we happen to say son slash son and Adam, the primordial Adam, who was hermaphrodite. He was the Son of Man. And he was he was separated. Eve was taken from him into Adam and Eve, and the hermaphrodite male was separated into the two sexes that we know, male and female, which means of male because."
Because the female was taken from the male. Because the original male was androgynous.
"So to become one with the Son of God and to be a son of man, because to be sired, you've seen the process. We must participate. There is the alchemical process. We must climb the mountain. We must overcome the challenges. We must overcome that which obstructs us."
"But if we do not, if we give in. Then we will be desired."
Instead of desired. Desired.
"These words, this relationship. Does not by accident."
This is not some coincidence.
"Nor is it how close? How similar. Everything sounds. Onomatopoeia. The everything is sound. Everything in the universe is sound. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. And the word was God. Is there any. Coincidence? Is there any likelihood that this is just a mistake or just a coincidence that that that ego."
"And the thing that makes us fall and the makes things that makes us, that prevents us from being sired just happens to sound almost identically, almost identical."
To its antithesis.
"Now you might say, well, you know, it could be sired. Because P is maybe closer to B then D, but you know, let's, let's let's have a little mercy in the severity. Right."
We should not neglect despite the fact that everything is sound. We should not neglect to recognize rune Ically.
That be and d.
Are the antithesis of one another.
"And together. DB. By the way, DB happens to be the abbreviation for decibel. Decibel, which of course relates to loudness, which relates to sound. Again, that's DB."
"And the word b right is not just, you know, B has the three in the one that's so that's but but then the E is also in the B. So b by itself is B because this e if you reverse it that's that's an e."
Right.
And that e that b is the trident. That's the trinity E.
"In fact if you go back to the Latin origins of sire and desire, you do not find an I there."
Because in Latin I. Is not I? I is e.
"And you find this, for example, in French, that the word desire is not. It's the, it's de z de, it's desert. E."
"Because in French and in all Latin languages, see, like in Spanish it's C is C, but it's spelled c."
"We it's not sur, it's c. It."
And it's not sire. It's c de.
"But there's some very, very interesting stuff that begins to happen. And we'll we'll continue on in a moment. Benjamin says you've captured everything perfectly, and it aligns beautifully with the biblical perspective. I think this topic has great potential for another book. It's something many Christian readers would truly value. It's a fantastic niche, if I do say so myself."
"By the way. To, To help those Christians and those suffering from desire. The Christ comes to be what?"
The Christ has many of the apostles. Peter.
And his brothers are fishermen. Why? Because Christ comes to be a fisher.
Of men. Because if. Through Christ's ministry.
"He can fish. The fish and capture the fish in the net. Then he can help if he can. Because what do you do with fish? You take them out of the water, you clean, you clean the waters. You clear the waters of the fish. You cook and clean and eat the fish."
You sell the fish.
"If you sell your fish, you'll be fish less."
"But if the fish that you're selling is yourself, and cleaning and eating and transforming and transmuting, then not only do you become, you become fearless. You become selfless."
"I've always just found that curious, that selfish has the word fish in it. And, you know, fish school. They go with the they go with the crowd. They go with the trends. They go with, the,"
"Benjamin says yes, please help Christians overcome desire, especially in these times of extreme materialism."
We're working on it. But I'm not here to be fishers of men. I'm here to be fishers of fishermen. And we'll get into that in a minute.
"I just need a minute to,"
"Do we really want to get into the, S and Z and the two? We don't necessarily have to get into that at the moment."
"Let's follow up instead on this on this comment and this whole being fishers of men stuff, because there's more here. There's actually a lot more we can keep going."
But this sort of.
"Linguistic analysis. We're really looking at language. We're looking at the word, the living, breathing word of God and the sound and how the sounds work. So let's not. I will, but I do need to focus on one thing before we,"
"We have to look at this word, sire, and recognize that desired desire is there to, like the mountain, make us fall. We can be sired and we can fall now."
"In mythology. What makes the hero fall, right? Temptation. And that temptation comes from desire. But in mythology, it is personified as the sirens."
The sirens.
"Now in sirens, we have sire. And there are three sirens."
There's three of them. And that's because they're the mind.
The heart.
"And the body. In other words, the three brains. Of the human machine. That's why there are three sirens. That same three. That is that Trinity. That is the E. But also, if you put a line in it, it's also the B."
"And this relates to what I said earlier about the mountain that's trying to kill you. That mountain. It's trying to make you fall is also the thing that you overcome that makes you who you are, that makes you a mountain climber."
But desire comes to us as the sirens. Now.
When do we hear sirens? Now think contemporary. When do you hear sirens? What is. What is a sirens? What is it? When does a siren go off?
Right. Benjamin Benjamin's got it right.
"Now, what did we say about siring? And what it means to beget. What it means to sire. What it means to create. What it means to be. And how it's through the process of siring."
"That. And that. But that siring comes through devotion, through the humility, through, through devoting ourselves. But the self, because of desire, wants to be selfish and selfishness wants to vote itself. So we have to constantly be devoting what's voting itself. But that's how we are be. That's how we can be sired."
"Well, doesn't that also to create through a process? And if the process leads to an outcome to to, to, to if something that."
Is another word for that.
Doesn't the baby emerge from the womb?
And isn't the process of giving birth of creation? Isn't that a process of emergence?
The emergence of a sired of what is sired is born. Of the Sirens of Emergency.
How? How does the word emergence become emergency and sire becomes sirens if they are not two halves of the same coin.
"It's like. It's like that meme about about in in Chinese calligraphy, how the words crisis and opportunity does those two characters, crisis and opportunity, come together, you know, or what is it? In the word crisis itself, there are two words one's positive ones negative, one's opportunity. And the other one is is, chaos or something like that."
"Right? Chaos and opportunity come together. And that's the word for crisis. But here in English, we don't have to go to we don't have to go to ancient China and calligraphy in a language we don't really know or understand, or for the life of me can never remember. No, no. We just hear the sirens and look at the emergencies in our life."
"Emergencies, emergency emergencies."
Do we not seek.
"Self-evident experiential knowledge? Do we not? Do we not constantly practice self observation? Observation to see, see see, see. See see see in Latin. Yes yes yes. To see what is to see, see, see what is, is is. ISIS, the Divine Mother, the Holy Spirit, manifest. The Holy Spirit begotten in the world of corporal corporeality."
The being emerges.
Is begotten.
"Through emergences, through crisis. Through drama, through struggle, through suffering. That is the only way that we can be sired. By facing off against the sirens."
We must hear them. We must face them. We can't avoid them.
"The three brains, the mind, heart and body. These are also feminine."
"The masculine, the feminine must unite. They must dance."
In this.
"In this world. This. This world of. Yes. Yes, yes. And what is. What is, what is? A world of."
Corporal.
"Corporeality. In other words, corporeal corporeality. That's right. So corporeal is that which is the physical world, the three dimensional world that we live in. Our our bodies, ourselves, our this mortal vessel. Remember what I said about corporations earlier?"
Do you not see? Do we not notice?
"The, common prefix."
What is the.
"Benjamin Raphael says corporations are dead entities. As in. As in, from the work word corpse. Again. You're ahead of me. But that's fine. Yeah, but what is a corpse? What is a corpse?"
"A corpse is a body, but a very a body. A very particular kind of body. That's just anybody, right? It's a corpse. Has to be in a certain state."
"Benjamin Ochoa has it. You know, it's something that's dead. It's a body that's dead."
"Okay. Benjamin's a it's a body that used to be alive. Yes, that's true, that's true. But now it's dead. It's like you said, corporations are dead. Entities. They're dead. They're dead. But they are animated."
We can't deny that corporations are animated. But they're not alive in the strictest sense.
"So clearly now, corporeality. To make something corporeal."
And for that to work with corporeality.
The self.
Must be in that state.
Is death.
Is this not the utmost of down voting?
The self.
Loops.
"Oh, and now it doesn't want to lead it. Okay, fine. Be that way."
And just for the sake of consistency.
Is death not the ultimate in devoting devoting ourself?
This is not.
Rocket science. This is nothing new. Everyone knows. Everyone knows. You feel this way about someone or something in your life that you would be willing to die for.
That someone or something that you are so devoted to that you have such devotion to. You would not hesitate to trade your life for theirs. This is not new.
This is. There's nothing revolutionary about it.
"Anything revolutionary about it was resolved 2000 years ago, when this fellow that I think you you you've heard about right?"
"You know, died, you know, for our sins."
"And in doing so, in his death, he was born. Because every ending is a new beginning, which is the title of today's talk. But it was his devotion to that. Spark that seed within him."
"Which needed to be sired. He had it to be. He had to be sired. He had to become the Son of Man. The Son of God. You have to be birthed. You have to be born. He had to be begotten. And the only way for him to do that was through humility, through devotion, devoting himself utterly and completely to his Father in heaven."
"Because that is what to in order to be the Son of Man, in order to be the Son of God, because son of man and Son of God. You see how the Son of God is born as the Son of Man, because a man, the corporeal man. Becomes a corpse, and from the corpse is born a god. The resurrected master."
"But that. But that resurrected master is born in part from the devotion, the suffering and the sacrifice. The death of the man. That's why the Son of God is also the Son of Man."
"The Catholics will twist this and say, no, no, no, no, no. It's because he was born of Mary and Joseph, and he was born the Son of God on the, on the on the day of his birth. Yeah. Okay. They can talk themselves into that all they want."
"But the nativity scene and the nativity story is, is all symbolic and metaphysical. It is. It is the relationship between the three bodies, the sirens, the three kings, the wise men. In other words, who bring their gifts to what did to the to what it is that they wish to sire. The Prince of Peace. They bring gifts to the Prince of Peace."
A prince is the sire of kings.
"And we have the Holy Spirit and the Immaculate Conception and the Divine Mother all playing their roles. ISIS and seek. Yes, yes, yes. The three wise men in our heart, mind and body."
"We covered the Nativity just a few weeks ago at Christmas, so they can tell themselves all they want. That that's why Jesus is the Son of Man. But Jesus is not the Son of Man. Because of that, the Christ is called the Son of Man. And the Christ is born like the Phoenix from the ashes of the man."
"The phoenix is born of its own ashes. And so to the Son of God is born as the Son of Man. From the corpse of the man, the corpse of the man. Jesus."
"We, I watched the Fellowship of the Ring on New Year's Day, and, bawled my eyes out from practically from the first frame all the way to the last. And I'll share with you more in a moment why that was and the significance of that, that hopefully will you'll be able to take and learn from that in the, in the coming years, not just this year, but beyond as well."
But it relates directly to what we're talking about now and the path of the arm of life.
That we are going to face emergencies.
"And those emergencies are going to set off sirens in our mind, in our heart and in our body."
"And those sirens, because of those emergencies, are going to tempt us to fall asleep, to fall into selfless selfishness."
"To fall into desire. And thus desire us. Prevent us from being sired. But it is in the facing of those emergencies and the overcoming of desires, through willpower, through observation, through comprehension, through elimination of the ego's."
"That are the sirens in each of our mind, our heart and our body, our mental body, our emotional body and our physical body. Which includes our etheric body, the energy body, the, the vital body. But we have to face those emergencies. We have to face those dramas if we hope to be sired. Because it's the mountain that makes the mountain air."
"If you want to be and you want to be sired by God, you want to be to be one and be a begotten Son of God, a begotten daughter of God, one with the Christ, who is the only begotten Son of God, the great perfect multiple unity. And you want to be one with the Christ."
You must be born.
"You must be born of the waters. And of the spirit. The sexual waters and the spirit. That's the Immaculate conception. That's white tantra, that's sexual alchemy."
So let's talk for a moment.
"As we zoom out here, you see the, the extent of today's whiteboard where we started and where we ended up."
"Let's go all the way back and zoom in again, and let's go all the way back to the beginning."
"Well, not so. Not exactly the beginning, but close. When we talk about to be inspired and to be in spirit."
"Oh, wonderful. My my mouse is, Okay. No, it's. That's why it's just it's having a conflict between my mouse and my pen. Okay."
"That you submit willingly to and devote yourself to. With humility and selflessness. This whole. In order to be sired, in order to become, in order to be."
Story time.
Sit back. Relax. Take a drink.
"I once. It's an annual ritual for me to watch the Lord of the rings trilogy. In or around, at least minimum, once a year. But usually in and around sometime New Year's. And the first time I made this a tradition, I began the films and always the extended editions, or whenever I can. Anyway, the extended editions. And."
"I began watching them sometime in the late afternoon and on New Year's Eve day. And I've told you the story before, the Ring of Power was unmade in Mount Doom."
"Exactly on the stroke of midnight. I mean, literally, the ring melted. Into the lava as the ball dropped in Times Square and hit midnight. I had not planned for this. It just. It just worked out that way. But of course, it didn't work out that way. I was told. When to start the movie, but I wasn't. I didn't consciously know that I was starting the movie at that time in order to have that outcome."
"I was just it's just when I started. The film is just everything orchestrated in such a way that that's when I started the movie. And then I had, you know, pea breaks or popcorn breaks or whatever, you know? So it was just it was completely unplanned by me. But somebody, somewhere had very carefully orchestrated those events. And my input, my role, my part in the unfolding of that mini miracle."
"You can say it was a coincidence. Sure. You could say that. But here's why it's not a coincidence. As you know, back when I was a young lad back in high school, I. I."
"I set my heart upon being a film maker, getting into, drama theater, filmmaking. And not only that. From the day that I read the Lord of the rings as a pre-teen."
"And The Hobbit and The Lord of the rings. And, you know, my I had an older brother that was, you know, got into Dungeons and Dragons and I was into all that stuff I collected Lord of the rings art. Now, I didn't have much money to buy the fancy art books and coffee table art books and all that kind of stuff."
"So what I did was I went to used bookstores and flea markets and book sales like that, and I would buy old Tolkien calendars, and sometimes I would buy new ones that had this fantastic fantasy art. Now, why would I do this? I did all this because in my mind and in my heart, I saw myself being the filmmaker who would bring Lord of the rings to the screen, that I would be the one and that and that Atlas Arts was born for that job, for that task."
"I even saw how the scenes would play out. I had, if I was an artist, if I was a better artist, and more, diligent and everything, I would probably would have begun, you know, doing the storyboard boards and creating what, Theodore Jodorowsky did for Dune. You know, Jodorowsky's Dune, he had created this, this, this massive Bible, this look book, including a whole bunch of, sequences storyboarded."
"Had I really, truly been meant to do it, I would have done something like that. But I didn't draw very well. And I was always, always busy with other things. And I was focusing on, on, the, acting and directing side to, to learn the craft because I knew that I had to and I had to get into the industry first before I could start, you know, doing all the, the, the actual planning and all that stuff, all the, the nuts and bolts of it."
"But I saw much of the film in my in my mind's eye, I received it like inspiration, right down to the casting of Sean Connery as Gandalf. He would have been my Gandalf. That was the plan. Who's one of my, I don't know, favorite actors at the time. I really enjoyed his performances in The Untouchables and of course, The Name of the Rose Highlander, The Hunt for Red October, and of course, James Bond and I grew up watching James Bond, including Sean Connery's James Bond reruns on Sunday mornings and whatnot."
So Sean Connery was to be my Gandalf.
So.
"You can imagine how I felt. Yeah. How were you? You can imagine how I felt when. In the 2000s. When? I apologize for that call, by the way. He's probably going to call back. I can't turn my phone off because I'm here alone and I'm taking care of my dad, and, I. I just can't turn my phone off, so I have to be on call in case there's an emergency."
"So. He's probably going to call back. I might have to tell him I'm in the middle of my live stream, so. But anyway, you can imagine how I felt in the early 2000 when the Lord of the rings came to the big screen, and I didn't do it. It wasn't my film."
"And this is something that I've discussed with others in my circle, other friends I have who are also artists, who have also watched things that they were inspired to do in their youth."
That they ended up not doing or not being given an opportunity to do because somebody else did it first.
"And it's. It was a strange feeling because on one level, I be honest with you, I felt envious. And I also felt like a bit of a failure. Like I had let down my innermost that it's, you know, despite my best efforts, I was not able to enter into that industry, neither through the course of nepotism or like who you know, neither through the course of, money, like as a, as an executive producer or, or talent getting an agent."
"And, you know, I just I tried so many ways under so many avenues to break into the industry, to be able to pursue, what I had been inspired to do, what I had received from divine inspiration. That never materialized for me, but I still I couldn't help but feel like a failure. Like like I had been given different, so many different chances and none of them worked out."
"But at the same time, I could not deny the brilliance of it. What's more."
"It's as though Peter Jackson and Philippa Walsh and everyone, you know, and, and, I believe it's, Taylor Taylor who did the, the miniatures and the bigger chairs and the, the, the art design. It's as if they themselves somewhere in New Zealand or, you know, wherever they're from. They have a box of old Tolkien calendars, like, like I did."
"Like I still do in the garage somewhere. But they too collected all of this, this fantastic Tolkien art from decades because they drew inspiration for their movie from said art and artists, just like I had done. What's more is when the special editions came out and after, you know, watching many different interviews with Peter Jackson, I learned that Peter Jackson's first choice for Gandalf the Gray was Sean Connery."
"I,"
The one decision that he had made that I really didn't like at the time was his choice to make Gollum a CGI character.
"For me, that was always it always took me out of the film for some reason, and mostly because I'm a big fan of practical effects, especially especially transformation into creatures that I know is possible through practical effects that I know that has that goes all the way back to, the movie legend that was directed by Ridley Scott, starring Tom Cruise and Tim Curry as Darkness and the transformation of Tim Curry into darkness."
"And another, another character in that movie is, Meg, the Swamp Hag. The swamp, witch. And you see the practical makeup that is possible and that and that and that. I felt the transformation of of an actor, like even an even if it was Andy Serkis into this, this Gollum like creature could have been done practically, and it would have been far less, to take one out of the, the film or whatever."
Why do I tell you all of this? But because.
I watched The Two Towers in Return of the King earlier in the month of December.
"But for some reason, the fellowship of the ring. I it was on on January 1st, the first time that I watched the Lord of the rings. Not at the end of the year, but at the beginning. In the new year. And not just the first day of the New year. In fact. And as I watched it, tears just rolled down my face the entire time."
Tears of joy because of the comprehensions.
That.
The inspiration that I received.
"That I devoted myself to the vision, the task, the work, the mission, the art Atlas. Arts."
Is what has sired.
The person speaking to you now?
"But it what I at the time had to believe was my task, my job, my work was actually somebody else's, but that I was given privy to. I was given a preview of it, was shared with me. It's a shared work. It was a shared vision."
"But my task, my job, my work."
"Relies. On the Lord of the rings. Existing on film. How many times have I referenced it? How many times have I used it to explain the relationship between the being and the mortal vessel and the ego? The triad of Frodo, Sam and Gollum. And the Ring of Power itself and the nine companions of Frodo, the nine companions of the fellowship."
"Balanced by the nine Nazgul, where the relentless Servants of Sauron who seek the ring and hunt the fellowship. And Galadriel, the embodiment of the Divine Mother. And on and on and on and on and on it goes. Because the Lord of the rings is high mythology."
But you know it is. It is a faux pas. It is not considered kosher for an artist or creator to explain or discuss in detail. The inner meaning of their artwork.
"It's it's considered gauche. It's considered you don't do it, you don't do it. And that's why you don't see filmmakers explaining everything, all the symbols and allegories and all of that in the stuff that they have made."
"Their work is supposed to speak for itself, and to a large degree, it does. To a point, to to a to a certain level. But beyond that level, especially in this day and age, people need help. People need some assistance. People need the keys to unlock the deeper layers and levels of meaning."
"One of which that was only revealed to me. On January 1st was that Gollum had to be CGI. Gollum could not be a real person in a costume because Gollum the the ego, the false self doesn't really exist. Just like CGI doesn't exist. It's a construct. It's an amalgamation. It's a it's a it's an illusion. Just like CGI."
"Gollum is an illusion. But the advantage that the way Peter Jackson did Smeagol and Gollum was that that illusion was able to to, garner sympathy from the audience with his big anime eyes that you could only do in CGI because you can't take human eyes and make them bigger. But you can only do that with technology."
And the fact that Peter Jackson asked Sean Connery if he would play Gandalf and Sean Connery turned the role down.
"There are other choices that probably worked out for the best that I probably wouldn't have made. I probably wouldn't have many, many, many, many things I wouldn't have done. And I wouldn't have known how to do the way Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor, and Philippa Walsh and everyone else who worked on that film, including all the people in, at Weta."
"That's the, special effects company and the whole choice of shooting it in New Zealand and all of those vistas and everything. I, I didn't know anything about New Zealand. How would I know? I would have tried shooting it, you know, probably in, in, in Canada and the Rocky Mountains to try to get those vistas."
And I would never have gotten vistas like that. So.
I was never meant to make that movie. Those movies.
"But my connection to it is so intimate and so profound, and I can speak of it with such depth and meaning, because it has been with me for so long. And because when I saw the images on screen almost exactly the way I had seen them in my visions and my inspirations, like when like in fellowship of the ring, when they're going down the river and they, they pass by the the two kings of Gondor holding their hands out like this."
"Right. That comes out of that comes straight out of one of my Tolkien calendars. And that scene of the, the, the boats going through, through the, you know, actually became a movie poster. That's exactly how I saw it in my head."
"That vision, that inspiration, was what got me on the path that led me to eventually to where I am today. It was the information that I needed to know at that time in my life."
In this process of siring in the in the process of being sired.
"To do a work. To do a vision that is even more important, that is, that it is that is even more meaningful and that I could never have undertaken. I could never have, accomplished."
Had I actually became a filmmaker and actually did Lord of the rings.
And. It's in the acknowledgment of that.
We.
"Emergence through the devotion of that, the devotion of that self."
The death of that self.
"That is. And the emergence through that emergency of having one's life's work taken away from them, or what one thought was one lights, what one thought or believed was their life's work and the emergency of having it somebody else do it, get, you know, beat you to the punch. Now what do you do?"
But what emerged from that?
"Was, in fact, the whole other emergency that then that next emergency I had to let go of that previous inspiration, that previous vision and what took its place was an emergency. And that emergency was adult onset epilepsy."
And what came out of the that whole emergency was the emergence of the person speaking to you today.
"And the acknowledgment of this, the knowledge of this. The awareness that there was all of this was revealed just a few days ago."
That.
"Gives one pause to be able to look at one's life and look back at all the things that perhaps. We were inspired to do when we were younger, or what we thought for certain was our job and was our life's work. Our purpose for being. But maybe it was just what we needed to hear and what we needed to see at that time in our life in order to get us to the next level, in order to get us to prep us for the next emergency."
The next emergence. Emergency.
"So it's an opportunity at the beginning of 2025 to take stock of your own life and look back on your own life at all, at some of the things that didn't work out the way you thought they should, the way you were certain they must be based on your devotion at the time, based on your inspiration."
"And to take stock of your life and say was, was I really inspired to do those things because I was meant to do them? Or were they just? I needed to believe that because I needed the motivation. I needed the inspiration."
"Where is it to get involved, to get inspired, to get motivated? To belief. I needed something to devote myself to that I could devote myself to at the time that would get me to the next level, to the next level, to the next level, to the next level. And each time. I gave myself and threw myself fully at something that at the time, I was absolutely convinced."
Must be what I'm here to do.
"But if you look at those spiral staircases behind me, you know that you have to be motivated to take the next step and take the next step and take the next step. But in order to do that, you also have to leave behind the previous steps."
Every step you take. Ascending the mountain to be sired. To become one with the. With the only begotten Son of God.
You must let go of what you previously desired.
You must. You must die to that old self. You must let go. The previous step. It's the only way to walk a staircase.
"And with each step on that spiral staircase. Going up. With each revolution of the arm of life going down into hell and facing your emergency. And emerging from that a changed person, a new person being sired. Siring closer to being one but the only begotten Son of God, the Christ, the perfect multiple unity. A son and or daughter of God."
"It's a process of selflessness, of devotion, to devote yourself, to devote the previous step. Let it go. It's water under the bridge. And it doesn't matter how much you were convinced that that's what you were here to do, and that's what you were meant to do. It's time for you to take a next step. In that next step, you don't know exactly what it is yet."
"You haven't taken it. You'll only know once you get up to that level. But once you're at that level, you got to let the old level go one step ahead of the other. It's called progress. You can't turn, you can't look behind, you can look behind to learn, but you can't remain stuck in the past. And you can't allow your your past to be a boat anchor dragging behind you."
"Because that's desire, that's, you know, the longing to desire and be desired."
"And remember to be desired. To be wanted, to feel validated, to feel heard, appreciated. To to control what other people think of you. That's all you know, being desired. That's not that's not the path to be sired, to be sired is to devote yourself to others and to the vision, the mission, the task, the work that has been given to you."
That you are inspired by and that you are inspired to pursue.
But pay attention because there will be signs. Signs like I received on January 1st.
"A reminder that no, you're not a failure. And that you're here to do something much bigger and much more important then, than even putting Lord of the rings on film."
"And that's why we gave it to somebody else. We had somebody else do that work because they were never going to do what you're doing now, and what you have yet to do."
So.
I wanted to share all of this with you.
"Because 2025, emergencies are on the way."
"Emergencies are on the way, and you can face them. With fear, with doubt. With panic. With the desire to hold on to what you have and what you've done and who you think you are and who you think you've become. Or you can use the emergencies on their way as an opportunity to offer for the the the self, the selfless self that longs to be sired by God, to longs to that longs to be one with the Christ, a begotten Son of God."
"To devote yourself. Amidst the emergencies, so that that higher self, that spirit."
Is allowed to inspire you and through you to be inspiring.
"It's Citic billion says hello, dear, bugaboo, 22 says. And I think to some level, artists are inspired and they themselves don't know the depths of their art. Some artists, some not all, some. For example, the Koski brothers make excellent, divinely inspired movies, yet promote extreme degeneracy. This is something that I mentioned recently about Lord of the rings."
Lord of the rings was executive produced by Harvey Weinstein.
"And when you mentioned the House Key Brothers who promote extreme degeneracy, and then you consider Harvey Weinstein, then you look at the films that they helped create, that they helped birth into the world."
"Lord of the rings trilogy and The Matrix trilogy. At least in terms of the film canon, they are two of the most important esoteric contemporary mythologies to ever be put on film. They, along with Star Wars and some others."
But the but the sexual degeneracy part is common for both Harvey Weinstein and the witch House keys. Well.
How many times have you heard me say that God works with the clay that's on the wheel?
And when you comprehend.
"The relationship between that. Which is being sired. And the engagement with desire that is necessary. In other words, to to face the sirens."
"Of the three brains, the mind, heart and body. And you recognize that as a creative, as an artist, you are working with the creative energy, the creative force, which is which is the sexual force, that is the force that creates. That is the force that that that impulse to unite with others in order to create, in order to beget, in order to sire."
"But we it would be no accomplishment if there was no adversary. It would be no, there would be no accomplishment of mountain climbing if the mountain wasn't trying to make you fall at every step along the way. So in the process of siring, there have to be sirens who come and tempt you in the process of emergence. There has to be an emergency."
"There has to be drama, there has to be struggle. There has to be conflict. There has to be obstacles."
"And it just so happens. That almost universally. When someone is trying to beget and be sired, that desire and the mother of all desires lust."
Is going to come and and and oppose.
"And do everything, everything that it can to exploit the creative impulse to sire divinely inspired works in the world. Or to feel like a parasite and leech off of the abundance of creative energy that such individuals have."
"And that is why so many leaders or men and women of of accomplishment, of success, have suffered so greatly and have been and like, look at JFK. JFK was a womanizing like sex maniac. He had to have a different woman every single night of the week, practically. And the Secret Service and everyone arranged a form, including Marilyn Monroe."
"Because the light and the fire that inspired so many that allowed him to capture the imagination of the nation. Unfortunately, his adversary, the his the sirens of his lower nature. Were were drawn to that fire like moths to a flame. And they were going to get there cut. They were going to they were going to siphon that energy for themselves."
They were going to exploit it like all parasites do.
"And that is why so many of these leaders or and billionaires and all these individuals, there are many, many, many, many, many individuals who have a sort of public face. But then in their private life behind closed doors. They. They succumb to, to tremendous, tremendous temptations. Because they have all of this creative energy, all of this, this vitality."
And they. They give in to their sirens. What what what what else can I say?
"But that is why you find that that the Harvey Weinstein executive produced some, some of the like he's one of the most accomplished producers of all time in terms of Oscar winners of Oscar winning films."
But look at how he behaved behind closed doors.
"Right. And not just his lust. Not just his desire, but his desire to control, his desire to manipulate. And there was tremendous fear in Harvey Weinstein, which is why he was also one of the most prolific. Lobbyists to the academy, to the members of the Academy in on behalf of his own films. That's a fancy way of saying that, that any time he made, what they call Oscar bait films, he was desperate to win the Oscar, and he lobbied the members of the Academy incessantly in order to get what he wanted, which was validation."
He needed to have another trophy on his mantel. He needed that. He needed that validation because of his fear. Because of his pride.
"And fears. The desire to control, to dominate. He wanted to dominate the Hollywood industry. Meryl Streep called him God. When when Meryl Streep won the Oscar. I want to thank. I want to thank my agent. I want to thank, you know, my family and I want to thank God Harvey Weinstein."
"Well, someone who has a God complex, someone who wants to dominate an industry, someone who wants to dominate the Oscars, you're surprised that he wants to dominate actresses and movie stars. The most successful and well known actresses, or the or the most up potential up and coming actresses wants to dominate them. He wants to be dominant. What better way to do that than to dangle a movie in front of them and say, okay, you can have this movie and this is an Oscar winning movie."
"I'm heart, this is a I'm Harvey Weinstein, that's what I do. I win Oscars, so miss up and coming actress. Do you want to be an Oscar winning actress? Well, you know what you need to do. That's manipulation. That's domination. That's that's getting someone to bend the knee. And and so that's that's exploitation of the tremendous creative power and influence and, and, and, and potential that he had the same thing with, with Chayefsky, same thing with JFK, same thing with everybody who has a tremendous amount of creative energy and vitality."
"With which to beget in the world. It's not by accident that so many leaders in the past, in history, in Asia and elsewhere, where those, those, warlords and and and, and kings and whatnot had harems and sired thousands of children with hundreds of women."
"Because the impulse to sire, to beget. That so very easily is manipulated and twisted by the sirens of our lower nature, by mechanical nature. And so that great leader, who, you know, who could have built a tremendous empire instead just went on conquering. And everywhere he conquered, he he took women and into his harem and and and that impulse was twisted and corrupted into something base, into something animal and something very corporeal and very temporary, very worldly."
"And Alexander wept, for there were no worlds left to conquer. What might of Alexander have accomplished had he not been today known as the conqueror of the world? What might have he accomplished if he had taken that same desire to accumulate and amass through attrition, through conflict, through war? What if he had applied that selflessly and devoted himself to building?"
Then the Roman Empire wouldn't have been Roman. It would have been Macedonian.
"And it might not have been. It might not have been called the Empire of Macedonia. It might have been called the Empire of Alexandria, after its founder, after its visionary leader, after the the one who built it on his shoulders. And the same thing can be said for Napoleon. The same thing can be said for many others who built their empires on, at the edge of at the edge of a sword."
"But I digress. I just wanted to address this, that there is a metaphysical explanation. And that if you yourself are here to do a great work, you know the demons that you battle. And the greater the demons that you face, the greater the work that you're here to do and the greater your potential, because the adversary is always matched to the hero."
"The hero is never matched. The adversary might be a little bit harder, a little bit stronger, but the but the the but you are never given a you're never given an adversary that's weaker unless you're a Priyanka Buddha or Nirvana and you're on the spiral path and you've already achieved nirvana, and you've decided to come down here and live a nice, comfortable, easy life."
"And yeah, you work on a few egos here and there, but then you're going back to Nirvana because you already have a guaranteed golden ticket. That's a nirvana. That's the spiral path that Samael and we're talked about in which case, yeah, you might have a few egos, you might have a few defects and vices you need to work on, so on and so forth."
"But yeah, it's there's no emergency there. And that's why the spiral path for the nirvana and the practical Buddhas, it takes them thousands and thousands and thousands of, reincarnations to achieve mastery. And even then, even then, they're not they're not at the same level as those masters who take the direct path. Who take the the the path of doing all of those many ascents and descents."
"Not lifetime to lifetime to lifetime to lifetime, but doing it all in one lifetime and eliminating all of their egos, facing all of their demons on all levels of of the 49 levels of the mind in in one lifetime, that's the aim of life. And that's the direct path in in one lifetime, the path of the razor's edge, where you face emergency after emergency after emergency after emergency."
Why? Because that's the path to emergence.
"The path of devotion to devote yourself again and again and again and again and again. And in the process of devoting yourself, you're emerging. You are saying you are being sired."
"Sired by God. Sired by the Holy Spirit. Sired by your divine mother. To become a son of man. One with the one begotten Son of God, the Christ."
"Does anyone have any, comments or questions?"
"The, thumbnail for today's talk. Now, you know also why it's Gollum and the ring and."
Being dissolved into the lava and Mount Doom.
Every ending is a new beginning. That's the arm of life. And that there have been so many different ways that people have expressed the sentiment.
"Let go and let God. And of course, in the Bible, to be born of the waters in the spirit and the story of Jesus himself, the phoenix, it just it's it's it's endless the the the butterfly, the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. But. It's always an opportunity around New Years for us to take to heart how practical and how meaningful."
"The transition of the old and into the new is because we are, as a humanity facing that transition."
"So I'll let you,"
"I'll let you type some comments and questions, and I'm just going to, mute myself for a moment."
"Well, They hung up anyway. They'll. They might call back anyway. It's, almost a three hour mark. So, leave you a couple more minutes if you want to type, question or comment. But we are, I think, pretty much done for the day. Benjamin says thank you for the amazing live stream. I learn so much and truly appreciate the insights you shared."
"Wishing you a wonderful new year ahead and thank you, Benjamin, and I also to you and to everyone. I do wish all of you to make the most of this year and take advantage of all of the emergencies, because we're coming, bugaboo 22 says. Thank you as always, Atlas, I appreciate it. Thank you, bugaboo, for being here."
You're always appreciated as well. Thank you for your comments and your contributions.
I really do feel that there's there's there's something in the air. There's something on the horizon. And for myself.
There's there's.
"You know, there's there's my work and. I, I don't know how it's going to unfold. And there's many things that I don't know, but one of the reasons why I was. Crying through the fellowship of the ring is because, look, if God made that happen, that was my vision. That was my dream. And and God made it happen without my direct."
Effort.
"And it's not a coincidence. And it's not an accident. And it's not. It was a meaningful exchange and saying, okay, you have this vision. You know, this has to become a reality, but we have bigger plans for you. So. Let's give this to somebody else to do. Because that's going to be the greatest thing that he ever does."
"Which of course is it's Peter Jackson's masterpiece. He has done nothing before or since that, that, that, that even holds a candle to Lord of the rings."
And so if what I'm here to do and I'm being supported in that way.
Then and you want to talk about devotion and devoting yourself.
I had nothing to do. With the with the actual creation of the greatest film trilogy of all time.
"It was done for me, not for me. But you know what I mean. I thought I had to do it, but no others did. It."
And all I had to do was envision it.
"And know that it had to be done and devote myself to it. And I devoted myself so fully to it that it was done without me. It was done purely with my devotion. In other words, I devoted myself out of the task."
"I just had to keep doing the same thing. So devoting myself. To what I'm inspired to do. Devoting myself to you. Devoting myself to others, devoting myself to humanity and devoting myself to my life's work."
To keep devoting myself and devoting myself. Devoting myself. Until. I altogether die.
To achieve a state of selflessness. To be one.
Of the only begotten son. Of the absolute essence of selflessness. The father of all. Selflessness.
Whose son? The Christ. Is that selflessness in activity is selflessness in action.
And if you meditate on that selflessness in action.
There's much fruit to be reaped.
From that bounty.
Selflessness in action. So devoted. Are you?
That you no longer matter.
That's how deep. That's how much you've. That's how much devotion you have.
"For all that matters. Is. What? You have been inspired to be. And to do what you have gotten, what you have received. You have devoted your life to be, to have begotten in order to be, in order to be sired. Just remember."
That devotion.
Is an act of getting yourself out of the way.
You cannot have devotion and desire at the same time.
"If you so wanted, you wanted and needed, and you're so desperate to have it. And you're so desperate to get it, and you're so desperate to. To do what you came here to do, then you're not in the right place. You're not devoted."
"Because devotion is patience. Devotion is sitting quietly and silently standing against the wall, waiting to receive orders from your master."
"Devotion is listening to your wife. Go on and on and on and on and on. About what a terrible day she had and how terrible she feels right now. And and just patiently and just listening to her and just being there for her. Not desperate to get your $0.02 worth in and not desperate to fix her, her change her, or make her feel better because you're desperate to make her feel better."
Devotion is to be available and patient and open and allowing.
And the opportunity to act will emerge from the emergency devotion is is is like a dance. That way.
It's it's much more subtle devotion. But it's devotion. Devoting yourself.
"To the work of the spirit. It's devoting yourself to others, not what you want for them, not what you think they need, but for what the spirit knows."
"That's the last little bit of advice I will give you to help practically apply much of what you heard today. And do that retrospection on your life. And do that that reflection and contemplation on yourself. Now, what are all the things that you are convinced that you are here to do and that you have to do, and that you so desperately want to get done and you so desperately want to make happen."
Because desperation is desire.
"Desperation is not an act of devotion, and desperation does not lead to someone being decent, being sired."
"Or. All right. Thank you all for being here. And have a great week. Have a great year. All the best to you, yours, your family, your loved ones and of course to whatever it is that you have set your heart on, that you set yourself to accomplish in the upcoming year. I hope that it leads you to exactly to where it is you need to be."
"So until next week, I want to wish you all all the very best. And as always in virtual peace. Take care."
