Welcome from across this gorgeous planet
We are one church many paths one
Mountain where our mission is what Barbara Marx Hubbard and dr. Mark Gaffney called the planetary
awakening in love through a unique self
Symphony
together we declare that the last day of the old face of
Evolution is honored as the first day of the new face of creation
I am Christina - how the co-executive
producer along with Christa
Josefa and Kirsten Zohar and I am delighted to be here with each and every one of you today. I
Welcome all the new people. Please do share that. You are new in the chat box
we want to hear from you when you do chat everyone chat to
everyone by checking that your chat settings say all
Panelists and attendees and not just all panelists

Creation. We are activating a new humanity and we are awakening as a new species
Homo amor the fulfillment of homo sapiens
We are a church a synagogue a mosque a temple a zendo were all of it
No one is excluded
everyone is included and we come together to attune to the
evolutionary impulse
Awakening within us welcome home everyone. We're overjoyed to be with you today in week
193
Let everyone know about one church many paths one mountain. We are doing this primarily through word-of-mouth
Barber talked about each of us having a family of 10 here in church
each of us tending our evolutionary family and I can say personally that
Leadership and community around church is a sacred
opportunity on
YouTube we are one church many paths one mountain on
facebook we are
facebook-dot-com forward-slash
One church dot world and right now we are live on Facebook. So if you could take a moment and
look at your notifications and share that live link on Facebook with your
Facebook community after church. We will send you an email to
Invite your friends and family and for that email right after church
Spend time on our website
Ww1 church world on the top menu of the homepage or the bottom of each page
You will find our membership link
with that I give you a little bit of what to expect over this next our
We begin with a Dharma recap then dr
mark sets our intention and then Tom will resonate the
evolutionary love code that we are working with today and then we move into prayer then our sermons and
Then at the top of the hour we switch to our sense making
Section mark wrote when he called
Evolutionary love codes mark and Barbara studied the codes together often
Comparing them to Barbara's own 52 codes for conscious self
Evolution these codes grew out of their radical
commitment over a hundred collective years
crystallizing the new story of humanity
quote
evolving the course of
Consciousness and culture which is the source code of love

Each church is a standalone and every week's church builds on the week before
one church many pass one mountain is
Radically committed to telling the new story
So here goes the Dharma recap from last week
moral clarity versus moral
Complexity do we have the courage to stay in?
Conversation in the original Hebrew the word for Messiah, which is the vision of a better world
the vision of a deeper world is
conversation in the human being the conversation began between subatomic
particles who came together who placed attention on each other and formed larger holes those
Conversations now become conscience conscious they become awake they become alive
not all
Perspectives are equal some things are more true than others
Some values are better than other values who decides when there's moral clarity
We seek to hold moral complexity the paradoxes
competing perspectives and not make them all equal we
live in a world in which
Value is real not contrived not a social construction. We check facts
There's got to be a shared ground of facts beyond
Narrative, we've got to understand that we can have many paths
but there is one mountain and at the center of that mountain there's a set of
facts
There was Jim Crow voter suppression
Redlining and there's not equal
opportunity in America and
America has made enormous progress
We're aspiring with all our might with all our soul with all
our dignity with all our desire with all of our passion to realize
everything that needs to be made better and needs to be
transformed and we stand for it with in the context of
recognizing the greatness of this dream
We've got to engage the police as a sacred function the police have to become priests
warrior priests who are holding with infinite
sensitivity and infinite gorgeous
tenderness and quivering fierceness the safety that allows the blooming of
Society there is truly good truly beautiful
Truly truth. There's been movement
forward in the evolution of love
We placed our creative attention on injustice
so that evolution can turn its wheel and we can stand in a world in which
Gradually, and then immediately we make the radical demand that everyone's in the circle
We bloom when we give each other attention
tension opens up reality
attention is
inseparable from
Intimacy, we don't let fear nor virtual signaling take over genuine virtue
We're courageous about it. We gather facts we gather information
We aren't determined by social media feeds. We're doing the work around information ecology
The ability to have a conversation itself is a great
evolution of culture and consciousness
Conversation is the most important tool we have
For healing and transformation of reality when we love each other we place our attention
On each other when we feel absolutely clear about something we challenge ourselves
Look at the other side hold the other side. Stop demonizing
the other side
We are always at a protest
protesting against injustice
No, split between the public and the private
private
Heroism challenges reality private heroism is activism
No less than public heroism know that our witness doesn't end when we die
We are witness through
eternity in this moment of
Unraveling we are held
infinity
invigorated through us and when we engage in
conversation when we engage in placing attention when we engage in transformation when we engage in
transcending
Limitations fear and anger to actually become the most gorgeous that we can become
divinity
gasps in
shocking self recognition
We're human beings together
self reflective human beings who care and can feel each other and can hold each other and can
Touch each other we are looking in each other's eyes
willing to go deep into
Conversation to talk about all the things that can't be talked about
with that I invite us to more deeply enter into the holy and sacred space of
One church many paths one mountain and I turn my word to you beloved, dr. Mark
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Christina M Allante Lea. Thank you so much. What a gorgeous
recapitulation of the Dharma right not virtue signaling, but Dharma right first principles and
And let's feel this together
It's such an important moment in time
And what we're gonna try and do friends is we're gonna do until the top of the hour
we're gonna do one church many paths one mountain and of course we'll be deep into
The first principles and first practices that are urgently needed at this time
And I spend these days, you know Sabbath day right Saturday
Right, which is for me a Sabbath day
you know about 19 20 hours trying to read and
Listen to usually 50 60 articles from across the spectrum to try and kind of swallow
culture and feel it inside of me and
Each article that I read and this is an important practice
I fully identify with whether it's on the left or it's the right in whatever country it's in is
I don't read it to argue with it. I read it to fully identify
with that perspective
That's a practice. I want to invite you to
Actually as you read always
Read because one of the things we're inviting reality to is sense-making. We're at this crucial moment in history
where we have to do sense making and to do sense making is actually a
function of what we call unique self
Unique self and we'll talk about that first principle more a little bit later
But unique self is not just your myers-briggs test. Your unique self is the narrative of identity
Which answers the question of who are you?
based on the best integrated
validated first principles
from pre-modern modern and postmodern thought
Woven together in new whole which gives us
those accurate and
Answer to the question of who are you?
You are a unique self. You're a
irreducibly unique
Expression of the field of love intelligence with a unique gift to give we'll talk about it more later
But I want to just share with you as I read those
articles
So 50 articles
What allowed me to identify with each position
Was that I knew that underneath it. I know in my body I know in my
Awake heart and you're awake. Er, you have to know this. I know that I'm not that position you get that
It's deep
Right. I'm not that position. That's not who I am. That's a position
So I can identify with it. I don't have to argue with it. I can fully inhabit it
That means I can step out of whatever my perspective might be and I can inhabit your perspective
You ever get that? It's so deep. It's like it's beyond right because
I'm actually a unique self. I am reality having a Marc experience
Just like Cristina Hamlin is reality having a Cristina a Milan experience and reality is having an Orianna
experience and reality is having an its experience and reality is having a Christa experience and reality is having a
Rachel experience as long as reality's having a Marc experience and I actually feel reality I am
evolution
not figuratively not a metaphor literally evolution the evolutionary impulse
uniquely lives in me and all the power of evolution is
Moving through me uniquely and wanting to to speak through me
And in filling me up with its aliveness its goodness its truth its beauty and I'm a unique self and irreducible unique
Expression right of the field of love intelligence and love beauty and love desire and love goodness and love truth
When that's who I am and I can read an article on the left
on the right conservative
Right liberal from any part of the world I can step out of myself
And I I identify with that perspective then I can learn from it. What can I learn from this?
Right. I put myself aside right out and seek to be understood. I'm stepping back. I want to understand
Let me understand right then. I'll read another article
And say oh that's a completely different perspective and I'll completely identify with that a third and a fourth without needing to come to resolution
Because evil always comes from
false certainties and
We arrive at false certainties when I have no notion that I am true
If I don't know that I am true, then it must be true
It is true and it is true as some Dogma some political position right some
Particular social perspective that my friends all approve of and will validate me in my circle
Right, it is true because I'm not sure if I am true. I can move between the perspectives and
I can begin to
Integrate I can create a larger hole
that
Process that's a unique self process, right?
That's the process that has to become the characteristic of what we call the new human in the new humanity
What we've called Homo a mark in
part in response to my colleague uvula hari's
reductionist vision of the human being which he called first time o sapiens and then
Amadeus but they were both reductionist views of the human being in which the human being for Harare is
Essentially neuro chemicals hacked by the algorithms of the life sciences for Harare as he says at
second chapters book Homo sapiens, you know, it doesn't matter whether it's
Qaddafi's evil in Libya
Right or its human rights? They're both just fictions
Just social constructions. There's nothing ultimately real in them or our he's wrong
Robbery's dogmatic and he doesn't actually examine those assumptions but he's a classical dogmatic materialist
Who's bright and funny and create and a great writer and and his books are worth reading. Of course
But but actually he skips over. He's a dogmatic materialist. He actually
desiccates the human being
Not based on evidence based on
dogmatic materialism
Right, but that's not that's actually not accurate
and it's actually when we actually gather the interior sciences of every great tradition as
Alfred North Whitehead said right who wrote príncipe Mathematica with Bertrand Russell and Cambridge
Right, why dad said write correctly?
reflecting all the great traditions that actually the universe generates value and
value is real goodness is real and truth is real and beauty is real and ethos is real and
We got to first hold moral complexity and hold multiple
perspectives before we can get to a kind of moral clarity a
humble moral clarity and a fierce audacious
Moral clarity a moral clarity in which no one is smart enough to be entirely wrong
And everyone has a seat at the table and yet there's a hierarchy of perspectives, right?
Not everything is true. Right when I get to that place when I become a unique self
When I actually become the fulfillment of homo more, right, right
That's when I begin to be able to do sense-making and homo mort is the fulfillment of homo sapien
I'm almost the fulfillment of homo sapien and homo more is a unique expression of the outrageous. Love intelligence
Homo more is the new human and the new humanity home one
Where is you and me and we as we come together not just as unique selves
but as a unique self symphony, and so as home all more I can listen to The New Yorker and
Read the New Yorkers
Depiction of what's going on last three weeks and completely identified with the beauty
subtlety and depth of the New Yorkers perspective fantastic and
Then I can read Coleman use but a black intellectual
Writer I can listen to Candice Owen write an angry young friend right at 25 whose. Thanks
Think completely different than the New Yorker and I can identify
With each of them, but then I don'tjust I don'tjust remain in the contradiction
I can then integrate that into a larger wholeness
Way to a larger truth the truth that incorporates more and see where was the New Yorker blind and where was : use?
Where do you not see it? Where where did can - someone's not see it?
Where's it a win-lose metrics begin to play on either side?
And I'll give you a simple litmus test if you want to know just how to listen to information
if you
See people who always take their left or whether they call the left side of the spectrum and they always take a left position
They're always aligned with the left. That means they're not thinking they're what but Allah are called. They're simulating
They're pretending to think they're going through the steps. They're not doing sense-making. They're not sensual
They're not attuned right? They're actually blocked. They actually can't feel or they can only feel through a very narrow
Channel right their sense making their sensuality their eros is shut down and it's only available
through the drizzle of a left-wing perspective, but the feet the kind of
overwhelming water and cascading
Waterfalls of truth goodness and beauty aren't available
and if you see a person who always reads things through a
right-wing perspective
It's always it's always the same no matter what it's always aligned with that right-wing perspective one way or another they never break
They never split
You know and again that person's not actually doing sense-making. They're not sensual. They're not in eros
Right. They're actually not available
availing themselves
They can't access in themselves the cascading waterfall and eros right of this gorgeous
gorgeous, gorgeous
ocean
Right of knowing and they're only catching reality through the right the drizzle of their particular right-wing perspective
water is h2o
Right. It's hydrogen and oxygen
Neither of them at room temperature are liquid
When they come together when left and right come together
Something new is created. If there's a new trip, there's a larger hole. It's beyond left and right right you get that, right?
It's a new wholeness. It's a new possibility homo. Amour homo sapien is caught in the win-lose metrics left or right
Success story I've got to identify with my group of people, but I've got a virtue signal. I've got all my confirmation
Biases and in my echo chamber of Facebook that's trying to steal my attention and monetize it anyways
Right, and I and I've got to press the like button
I've got to be recognized in a particular way but in a social media world that seeks to
Hijack that which is most precious to us our attention
No, no homo amor holds their own attention. Homo amor is able to move their attention
Between different perspectives because home are so powerful because home Walmart is an incarnation of divinity
home one wears a unique
Incarnation of all that is a unique incarnation of the divine and I can step out of myself fully
Identify with your perspective step out of myself fully identify with your perspective and and that actually is the divine act
because after all
Where does it all come from?
spirit in volutes
infinity
Places its attention on finitude and reality manifests and the infinite divine
individuate says seven and a half billion human beings at this moment in time around the planet and
the infinite divine is able to not only think
through and as each one of those human beings but to actually feel
every one of those human beings
Wow, right none of us need to actually grasp for attention because the attention of the infinite is on each of
Us individually, can you feel that?
like to actually feel that in your body to know that I know that in my body I
Can feel the attention of the infinite on me and holding me and in moving through me
right and and and animating the conversations between the quarks within me within the cells within me between the
organisms within me
Right and you can feel the same thing and I never have to grasp for attention by by pressing a like button on Facebook
because I am witnessed I'm held in the full attention of infinity and
Because infinity so powerful because infinity is Ammar
infinity is
Right the throbbing pulsing love
Right, not Pollyanna schlub not a Harlequin romance the agony and the ecstasy the whole thing. Nothing's left out the principle of non rejection
Nothing's left out
You have to trace everything back to source and reality's a trickster which are the three principles
Right of deep profound what's called ton trick thought Tantra has nothing to do with sexuality. Its core Tantra means the core nature of reality
Reality is a trickster trace everything back to its source the principle of non objection
So this infinite divine that lives in me
Right when it awakens in me and that love intelligence awakens in me when I become home while more I'm powerful. I'm
powerful powerful in the most beautiful way not a kind of dominating
reductive
Exploiting abusive power over in its shadow form
But actually I have power and service of I have power in devotion to and in that sense
I do have power over but I have power over meaning I impact were in the Anthropocene
Are the human beings at the center in the way?
We've never been in history before and so we need to move from Homo Sapien to home one more when you take responsibility
For our sense making it's all urgent, but it doesn't have to be right now
Breathe in between put a wedge of awareness
Right actually hold
Dialectic meaning there's a thesis. Here's one position. Here's an antithesis. Here's another position
They oppose each other be able to stay in the silence long enough
Right don't go to a false certainty
Which is always false surgeons are always the source of evil and we go to false certainties because we can't hold
The space in between the breasts as they say in Kashmir Shaivism
Hold the place between the breasts
The empty space between the cherubs above the ark and the Temple in Jerusalem is the place from which the Word of God
Comes in the great lineage traditions. What's that empty space?
It's the empty space in which I insert a wedge of awareness where I read a new perspective
I identify with it wholeheartedly a billion percent
And I breathe I don't need to take it in as an absolute certainty now, I step out of that perspective
I take another perspective
I inhabit it fully I feel it fully just like the infinite spirit feels me fully
Sacred textbook olks are a thumb loads are right in all of your pain. I'm with you
That's the Christ moment
That's that unique Christ moment emergent from Isaiah, right?
The infinity feels finitude and infinity feels me infinity feels you were always witnessed again
We don't have to grasp for attention were witnessed and all of the attention of the worlds on us
Waiting for us to actually emerge as home all more and then each of us has a unique perspective
Which means a unique ability to do sense making a unique sensuality right to add to unique self Symphony Wow
that's the emergence right of the new human and then humanity and so we're gonna do sense-making both in our
Hour together and then a special sense-making session afterwards and they'll be distinct when we're doing it not for our entertainment
although there's nothing more beautiful and nothing more exciting and nothing more wild than
telling the greatest story there ever is together and trying to get the plot line and
know our place in the story and know that you matter and I matter and in that my love story is
chapter and verse in the universe a love story
Wow and that that's not pollyannish that's not a metaphor
Alright, that's actually accurate that's actually based on the best
integration of the interior and exterior
Sciences that's actually the best understanding we have of reality in this moment in time that reality is lined with love amaur amaur
Right, it's insights are lined with love I
So welcome everyone
It's so insanely good to be with you. It's so
Wildly privilege to be with you, right? We tremble together before got us
Happy Father's Day. Everyone. We're going to redo Father's Day and Mother's Day together here. Let's hear one more more start chant every week
Let's start with them more than Tom's gonna resonate the code
David's up climbing a mountain today right many paths one mountain David's climb in that one mountain
He'll be back next week and we have Lord Tom the awesome Tom with us right today to resonate the code
But first one more, let's feel it. And let's let's practice and let's chant it together around the world
All right for the sake of the evolution of love and in the space between the cherubs right fully full hammam or together we are
Revolutionaries or at a time between worlds we are we are DaVinci together
Articulating right the new source code as the greatest act of outrageous love we could possibly do in the face of suffering
laying down first principles that our clarity beyond
Complexity holding all the complexity there could possibly be takes inside
More
Oh
My god, oh my god, I'm mark Tom. What's your brother Tom? Let's resonate the code
We got a gorgeous coat for this week brother Tom. What a pleasure
Right, welcome town. Love them up
Thank you mark pleasure to be here again with you this week this week's evolutionary love code
More than confessing their sins
Every human being is obligated to confess their greatness
Every human being is obligated to live with our greatness
Obligation duty honor and nobility are not social constructions of reality
Obligation honor and nobility are real
Your greatness is your deepest heart's desire
To confess your greatness is to confess your heart's desire
And we must also confess our vulnerability
To confess our greatness without our vulnerability is to lie to ourselves
To confess our vulnerability without confessing our greatness is to deny God
But I turn my word back to you mark, beautiful. Thank you, Tom. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
It is so good to see you and so good to be with you
And by the way, we all love the the necklace that Tom has right? Is that like gorgeous horse? I'm getting one of those
Okay. So yay, thank you. So so so much I can you feel that everyone
Can you feel that gorgeous? Right? Can everyone feel that? It's like wow
All right. Let's just look at it. Just to feel it just go in. Let's just read it together, right?
Right, right. We have to confess our greatness
And Barbara's gonna be here today. I talked about confessing our greatness, but we're actually
Obligated to confess our greatness
sermon, can we fill that the word obligation in the original lineage is right in Hebrew love and
love an obligation are actually the same word and there's a notion of
Obligation and that's critically missing in the 50 articles. I read this Saturday, right? I did not see any first principles
Right, and here's the first principle obligation were obligated
Obligations a core first principle. It's not an option. I was at a a particular private school that I mentioned a few weeks ago
Where I tried to talk about the notion of obligation
This was in the liberal world the best kids in the country right meaning super smart, right?
Right, super potential super great kids not the best. I apologize. The best kids are all over the country
But but you know the kids who had the most privileged had the most obvious, right?
trajectories of potential in society, right
Crazy great teachers ostensibly and facility and I tried to talk to them about the notion of obligation
When we talked about, you know mother Teresa
Right, you're on an island with mother Teresa, and she's driving you absolutely out of your mind
It's trapping you completely crazy and mother Teresa. There's three biographies of her right she was she was tough
You don't actually create a new order out of the Vatican easily. So you're there with Mother Teresa. You're on an island
It's a deserted island. We reenacted a kind of deaths AF ski
Raskolnikov vision which is a hypothetical vision. You've been there for twenty years, you know, you're never gonna get off
You're never gonna be discovered mother trace reminds of your mother. She's absolutely sorry Mother Teresa. She's obnoxious
She's horrible, but she's screaming at you every day. It's a disaster
She goes scuba diving don't ask me how you know from your shipwreck. There were some scuba gear left over, right?
She breaks both of her arms. You happen to be a doctor. You set her arms in a splint. Her arms are straight out
She can't feed herself. Do you or don't you have an obligation to feed her?
And it's they be the overwhelming majority of the students that I asked this question at this elite private school
Bastion of liberalism right said you cannot say you have an obligation to feed mother trace
You can't say it because you just you can't it's a nice thing to do. It's a good thing to do
You should do it. You should read to say that it's an obligation
It's an absolute obligation of cosmos, they utterly refused and they were wrong
but they were a product right of
Right the education that they received in which they never got a transmission of value from their teachers
They sat around small tables. They would be asked a question Vanilli would all offer answers and the teacher's job was to facilitate
Right using a method called the Harkness method let's facilitate right but actually an
establishment of value when a calling to noble honor to duty to obligation didn't exist and if you want to
Understand some of the anger of the conservative world with all of its manifold problems
We understand that we're huge critiques right of for example Mitch McConnell, right? And I'm not talking about Mitch McConnell
I'm talking about George Will and I'm talking about the best of the conservative world
One of the critiques is what happened to the notion of obligation with that obligation. It falls apart. So there's an obligation
But more than confessing my sins. I've got to confess my greatness when I'm actually
Obligated to my greatness and greatness doesn't live in the world of Fame famous people who managed to hijack
Attention sometimes legitimately sometimes illegitimately know we're talking about actually obligation
I'm obligated to confess my greatness
Right and obligation duty honor nobility. They're not social constructions, right? They're real
right and you are obligated to your greatness and
Your greatness is outrageous acts of love and chris is gonna talk later. Right our
Exactly executive producer here in one church many paths one mountain in an emergent voice
Chris is going to talk about outrageous acts of love. I'm obligated
To greatness. It's the democratization of greatness
which is what home well more stands for and it's a new first principle when a
democratization of enlightenment and in which actually every human being
incarnate their unique and
Carnot's the unique expression right of the evolutionary impulse, right?
incarnate right a gorgeousness that's unlike any other it has a gift to give
That's unlike any other which is why any killin black or white any senseless kidding killing, right?
Right every police officer is precious
right every
every every every victim of right right the the occasional and
Tragic, right and one-time is way too often and there's a systemic problem that needs to be addressed of police brutality, right?
It's tragic beyond imagination because each one of these human beings right actually has a gift to give the reality desperately needs
But you got a confessor grain. It's gotta confess. I'm gorgeous. I'm great and I'm uniquely great and I'm uniquely gorgeous
But of course, I can't confess my greatness, right?
Friends without confessing my vulnerability. I'm also fradulent. I can also be ego eclis hijacked
My attention can be hijacked by Facebook in two seconds by a social media feed which prevents me from
Placing my attention wider and gathering facts and integrating information and being home are more
Like the like button hijacks me right at the eye candy of social media hijacks me
But I actually forget that but actually the infinity of intimacy has placed her his its attention on me
And I'm held and needed and she waits for me to show up and give my gift and she waits for me to be her
co-creator and that all of reality
Desperately needs my gift Wow
That's confession of greatness. And that's confession of vulnerability and in life is short. All right, it can end in any second
And yes, there's a continuity of consciousness and yes, we'll talk about that. But death is real and it's only the realization of my vulnerability
Right. It's only the realization of death. But with a first shock of existence that tresses me into service
Otherwise, I'd become corrupt. I become Oscar Wilde Dorian Gray, right? Who's got this picture, right?
Right, which is his his corrupt soul in that picture as long as it lives
He lives eternal in because he lives eternally he never has to make choices. He doesn't expiry vulnerability, right? We're vulnerable
We're fragile every breath we take
and we deserve every breath we take and we actually have to release the knee of
Unloved from the neck right of the goddess. When a goddess screams. I can't breathe
that's what these weeks are about an
honoring George Floyd
Totally honor enjoyed flight and honoring Coleman use and honoring the New Yorker honoring Candace Owens right honoring the whole story
made friends
But let's bring now let's pray now
We're gonna pray now like we've never prayed before and we're gonna bring literally our holy and our broken hallelujah
Can we do that?
We're gonna bring our holy in our broken hallelujah
Together and we're gonna we're gonna come before him and and just confess our vulnerability
All right, can we confess that so we're gonna do when we come back afterwards. We're gonna confess over all nobility
We're gonna confess our greatness and we're gonna pray
Okay, so if you can open your heart, can we open our hearts together, right?
So gentle and forgive me if anything I said didn't work for you. I apologize, right if I said something off you're right
I'm wrong. Let's give up being right
All right, it's great to be wrong when you're really mean you really know you're wrong
Then you're actually right when you think you're right you're off and wrong, but don't even know it right you get that paradox
All right, so don't don't fixate on he made a mistake. Of course. He did already some neurotic Jewish guy. Who cares, okay?
I'd stay with me. Okay, let's open our hearts. Now. Let's go into the holy and the
broken hallelujah
And let's pray before the infinity of intimacy that knows our name. That's not a dogma
We actually can experience in our first person the attention of reality upon us
Just like you hear me speaking and you don't hear me just through your ears, right you're hearing through the Living
Intelligence in your body when you die your ears
Don't hear me you hear me?
Because the life intelligence the love intelligence is awakened you
So just like you hear me
The whole field of reality hears me just like I hear you the whole field of reality hears me
so when we pray every word is heard by the field of love intelligence, so we're gonna go in and
Leonard Cohen, she's gonna be with us. He's with us every week
he's gonna open up the space of Prayer and we're gonna pray for every time we never
Prayed before just like in these weeks so many people in the black community have screamed for every time they never screamed before
Right our hands are together that's going the holy
And the broken hallelujah
There was a secret chord that David played and it has pleased the Lord

It wasn't much I couldn't feel
Trying to tell us I've talked it through
didn't come
And he stand before
We go to the chat box and we're gonna pray and we're gonna ask for everything
but before we pray before we pray, let's confess our greatness right confess our greatness and it just means right I
Confess my greatness to actually own it and feel it right in this past couple of weeks
We've seen stalinist confessions all over the place and let's confess our greatness. Can I confess my greatness?
I confess my gorgeousness. I confess my greatness, right?
We're actually claiming in being the new human and the new humanity and we can be excited about it
It's okay, and maybe we could write I am home or if we can actually feel it
It's so gently so fiercely quivering tenderness, right?
I am Omar Omar and I am home one more and I am home home where I'm not waiting for someone else. I
Confess my greatness. I am home all more. It's not just first principles its first
Practices right 50 articles no first principles. No first practices. We've got to be the first principles
we've got to practice we got to incarnate I
Confess my greatness. I am home amor. I am home Omar if you haven't written it yet
I just want to just so gently, right
I just invite you when you write it something
Happens and if it's hard for you to write so write it on God's heart directly
I get it but inscribe it inscribe your lips on the lips of infinity
Infinity yearns for your kiss and your kiss is right. I confess my greatness
I am home more and more and in the very same moment. I confess my vulnerability
Right, I'm broken. I can I write that also
Right, right. I'm vulnerable. I confess my boner ability
I confess my brokenness right in the same moment, right? I confess my brokenness kind of confessed my brother back. He's right. I'm broken and
I'm broken
Right, I'm broken, right? I'm broken and broken and I'm filled with trauma and I'm filled with
intergenerational trauma my egos so easily
Hijacked and I I so desperately want approval
Right, and I want to feel like I belong and sometimes I've done things
I should have never done and
Betrayed people I should have never betrayed and betrayed parts of myself that were invaluable to me in order to belong
Right in order to to get that like button pressed on the social media right of my soul
That was utterly broken, but I'm broken and I'm broken. I'm dragging. I'm totally broken. I
End and in this moment in this moment as I go and stay closer as I go underneath the space-time continuum
Which actually allows me in a core principle of first principle?
I can actually get underneath the space-time continuum. We have enormous evidence for that based an enormous amount of information
Right that I can actually get underneath the space-time continuum
We can actually find each other right beneath space and beneath time and there's all sorts of
communications that happen in the world that are deeply documented
So in this moment
Let's go underneath the space-time continuum and let's go to the place where I betrayed myself and just say I forgive myself
Right, I was broken and now I'm whole because in this moment underneath the space-time continuum when I set my attention
And I placed my attention on my greatness
Actually all is transmuted
right
I was broken and now I'm whole I remember the song Amazing Grace and I was broken and now I'm whole I forgive myself
Right, I was broken and now I'm home
Now home all more and from that place of being whole I was broken and now I'm whole can you feel that?
I was broken I'm held right I was broken and now I'm whole like that's that's called teshuva in the lineage
It's a first principle te shu VA the ability to go under the space-time continuum
Right and actually beneath time
Access that moment where I betrayed and make that moment whole again
Right, and without that I can't actually own my brokenness
I can't own my brokenness if there's not a way to make it whole and one of the things that's
Literally missing in the script of cultures. How do you make it home? How do you forgive how do you move beyond?
Intergenerational trauma, how do we forgive each other right? How does a Jew?
post-holocaust right walk in the world right and not right devolve into
right horrific horrific horrific
tragedy, right, right
How does a black right coming out of right the original sin of slavery that was around the world of the 19th century?
right step out right of the trauma and how can I get beneath the space-time continuum and forgive myself and
Forgive even my impression even my murder
Right who's not alive today, but who somehow lives in me?
And how do we actually begin today to build another world to become the new human in the new humanity?
And how do we get out of the loop that's called teshuva. We can actually go beneath the space-time continuum and
Forgive the betrayals and an entire religion is based on that. It's called Christianity. How do you forgive Judas?
And then we've all been Judas at some moment or another we've all been betrayed and we've all been betrayers
Wow
Wow, so from this place that's home or more the confession of my greatness and the confession of my vulnerability
right
right from that
Infinity of intimacy infinity of power and who as if we were ever Evers up for it friends beloved's let's pray

But the oppressed can forgive their oppressors the true victims, right right Wow, and I want to understand this with you friends
I want to understand those deeply it's really important and it's really important. All right
we got to get this there was a really important rap on race between James Baldwin and we we
merge all these prays together for Elsa
I for Scott a passed away only today Scott it 35 years old praying for you Scott
Right Roger for Jenna shilling for myself in the whole world. Tommy all realized. We're here to protect each other
Not merely ourselves, right?
And so I want to just I want to finish this piece right with with Sameera to get money for her surgery
Amen, you know there was an incredible conversation, but it was called a wrap on race it took place in
1970 and you can get it in the library. Let's call the wrap on race. You can get in the library, right?
Oh my god, right you can get in the library between Margaret Mead and James Baldwin
And Margaret Mead, it's one of the great thinkers and fierce feminist and fierce
original right creator right and James Baldwin
Right, right who was one of the great poets of the century and who spoke the story of black pain having a conversation?
And on the stage right in New York City, right, right
It's an incredible conversation and I want to just share with you
you know one piece because it's unbelievably important right and it they have this conversation about
And I'm gonna read you a little bit. Okay, just for a second
We're gonna we're gonna finish with this and then we're gonna we're gonna hear from Kristin
Then we're gonna go deep in all the way right in sense-making
Okay, so they're having this conversation and they're talking about you know is there's collective guilt and it's a really important question
It's a really important question. Right? Are we were right are we guilty? Let's say
Right. I'm gonna put it in the most stark terms Kirsten and who's the executive director of organization is German, I'm Jewish
My whole family I almost all of my family was gassed in the Holocaust is Kirsten responsible for it
Answer's no
It's a simple answer. No
Answer's no
Right. I want to get straight. Alright, there's never been a moment in my mind. Not even a second
since I met Kirsten eleven years ago in Berlin, it never entered my body for a split second that
Kerstin was somehow responsible for the gassing of my family were a few generations later
We're talking about it an intergenerational trauma beyond imagination Kirsten has zero responsibility for it has nothing to do with her. She wasn't alive then
Right. She wasn't at the gas chambers, right? She stands in her life for everything that's opposed to Nazism
Right. She's holding a deep frame of of wisdom and outrageous love and I'm proud to walk with her in the world
Right, that's really important
there's not collective guilt for all Germans today, and there's not
Collective guilt as both Margaret Mead and James Baldwin agreed they went back and forth and it was a it was a hard conversation
And there's a moment in which James Baldwin wants to introduce this notion right of collective guilt
Right and and then they agreed in an out there can't be collective guilt
right art Baldwin agrees with Margaret Mead, right, but he says I think there can be
Responsibility for what happens? It says Margaret Mead, right, right and
Responsibility in a certain sense, you know Margaret Meads, that's good guilt
It's a nonsensical term and Baldwin says yeah, I know what you mean. It's useful guilt, right?
And then she says right she says no no, let's agree on
Responsibility it says Margaret Mead, right? It is saying I'm gonna make an effort to have things changed
But I can't take responsibility
For something that was done by others
right and
and and and Baldr and me go back and meet tells the story in and they come down and they agree on this notion of
Collective right of this that we got to take responsibility
Today for what we can do but it's not collective guilt. Those are two different things
Right, you can't shame
White America into guilt - the same way you can't shame Germany into guilt
Well, we can do is all of us take
Responsibility today for the world that we inherited that something else
I want to I wanna read you a story that Margaret Mead tells James ball
He loves the story and the respect between them and the story is unbelievable
I mean it's gorgeous
right
And she's explaining right right how she came across this notion that we can't adopt the old
Religious idea that were defined by blood and race and therefore the black race is responsible
The German race is responsible. The white race is responsible. The brown race is responsible. No
No, we've got to actually move in that sense beyond race. I'm gonna talk a little bit more about this, but just hear this
It's an incredible story Mead says I was walking across the Wellesley campus where she was teaching
right with my four-year-old who was climbing pine trees and steady keeping up with me and I said
You know Margaret meets as I said, you've come down out of that pine tree. You're not to pine needles like an Indian
So my foyer comes down, you know, my four year old says to me. This is a marker to me talking
She says why do the Indians have to eat pine needles?
and so she says motomete says I said to get their vitamin C because they don't have any oranges and my daughter said
why don't they have any oranges and
then I I'm not gonna I'm now gonna speak in first person as Margaret Mead did right then I made a
Perfectly clear technical error. I said because the white man took their land away from them
And my daughter looked at me and she said am I white and I said to her. Yes your wife
And my daughter said but I didn't took their land away from them. I don't like it to be tooken. She shouted
Wow
Right in Margaret Mead right said right and that's when I realized right I can't we don't
Collective guilt and Margaret Mead was an anthropologist. Right? Right and and and
Right. She says there's been millions of crimes committed against humanity millions
Now why is one crime more important than another and James Baldwin says no
my point precisely is that one crime is not more important than another and that all crimes must be atoned for and
Then meat says but when you're talking about atonement
Right, right. You're talking about. What are you talking about?
You're talking about right people who weren't born when this was committed
Right and Baldwin says no
I mean recognition of where one finds oneself at what time in history and they go back and forth
Right, and then right and just listen carefully
Right meet says is the blood of someone who's dying in Burma today on your hands and James Baldwin says, yes
Yes, and Margaret Mead says I won't accept it. I will not then Baldwin says For Whom the Bell Tolls
It means everybody's suffering is mine
That's beautiful. And then Margaret Mead says, yes, everyone's suffering is mine, but not everyone's murdering. That's a different point
I will accept everyone suffering
I don't distinguish for one moment whether my child is in danger or a child in Central Asia, but I will not accept
Responsibility for what other people do because I happened to belong to that nation or that race or that religion?
I do not believe in guilt by association
Right and and in the end
Right in the end
Right, like wow
They come together. They
Come together and they come together and this is what they agree on
And it's so gorgeous that I want to invite everyone to read this. It's a treasure
it's an undiscovered treasure wrap on a race between Margaret Mead and James Baldwin and
I want to go deeply with me here for a second. Okay, and we're finishing church, and we're moving now into sense-making
Okay, and we're gonna hear from Christa. Right right gorgeously, right right in in the middle here. Okay about outrageous acts of love
I want to finish this piece. Okay, just go deep here for a second. Okay, go deep you
Know one of the things that my colleague Sam Harris said that I I cited he said, you know
Races is like hair color
we got a completely move beyond race and
That's exactly half right half wrong
I'm gonna stay with me clearly here. Okay, and this is very it's very deep and it's subtle. We have to actually do sense making
It's absolutely true that
we have to be as Martin Luther King said we have to be in the
Content of our character and not the color of our skin. That's absolutely true
So for example in Judaism
My original lineage and today I'm Jewish and I'm Buddhist and I'm Christian and I'm Indian and I'm Native American but my original lineage
It is Jewish and we can be dual citizens from our original lineage and other lineages
That's a very deep I do and give me dual citizens in the world. I had too deep idea
Right and just feel that right, right?
But but but actually and there's this deep idea of duality all over the place
James Baldwin pointed out that most blacks in America are descended from whites and blacks. We had a President Barack Obama, right?
Who was born of a marriage between white and black we're all right. It's all much more complicated than notion of there's no pure race
right, but but we understand the idea that Martin Luther King talked about right which is the content of our character not the color of
our skin Amin
I understand what my colleague Sam Harris was saying when he said okay race, it's gotta be hair color, right we get that
Okay, did we get that that's deep and that's big and it's good. Okay. Yeah
But not quite enough
And black lives matter is actually sensing something, right?
right, there's something right, which is, you know, actually I
Can actually be universal and can actually understand all lives matter. That's absolutely true
Anyone who would deny all lives matters of blithering idiot, and I can't even have a conversation with that person
Of course all lives matter and within all lives matter black lives matter and I actually have an identity
Right, which is I'm a world citizen. I am world centric and at the same time
Right. I'm actually can be part of a community
Right. We don't have to obliterate Judaism
I can be in the coven ental Destiny the unique destiny of the Hebrew wisdom lineage
I can be in the unique destiny of the Christ
community I can be in the unique destiny right of
Right the Indian, right?
right the Indian the subcontinent I can be in the unique destiny right of
Right of being Chinese. I can be in the unique destiny of being the beauty of being a black America
Right. Actually, there's no Melting Pot
The Melting Pot was a mistake. It's a terrible metaphor as both Baldwin and meat pointed out
What do you mean to melt some up means you lose your essence and you become homogeneous. Right, right
So there's a part of that. That's true
All of us our true selves, we're all part of the one consciousness. Well part of the one love
We're all part of the one heart. So therefore
universal human rights
Therefore worldcentric intimacy. Therefore we're all holding hands, right? We got that
this is hugely important right races like hair color and
black lives matter and
Your survival matters, right? And there's a unique self Symphony in
every race
right and every religion
Right and every nationality that prides itself on its home can actually have a unique instrument in unique self Symphony
Right, so there's only one human race
but that one human race is not a
globalist
Homogenizing which races difference which races distinctions everyone got that
You have Paul Cummings a great guide Peters. Fantastic. We love Peter Peters. Awesome. Okay shotty, right, right
So we're totally good. So feel this guys everybody feel this guys. It's beautiful
All right, Peter. Someone just asked me the chat box if I know you so I said I did it. You're awesome
Right. So Felix, can we fill this together?
We actually have to hold this in our bodies. And remember what we said before you got to be able to inhabit two different perspectives
Right. So in the one I've got a hold paradox hold dialectic thesis and antithesis produce a synthesis. Okay
CSIS you ready? Let's make it real now
Thesis he says write the original thesis is I'm defined by my religion the Jews
They're the best chosen people right the whites
They're Sapir of the blacks their superior the indians their superior the sunnis their superior the Shiites they're superior, right? That was the thesis
Antithesis, and that was a pre-modern thesis. The antithesis says now no
Universal human rights the Renaissance da Vinci Marcel. Oficina
Oh, but ultimately Voltaire remember the cruel teas that were initiated by that thesis. There's an answer thesis, right?
It's a beautiful antha thesis which is universal human rights Martin Luther King the content of our character not the color of our skin
Does everyone feel that right sam Harris?
You got it, right Sam right race is like hair color, but that's the entity sisters everyone get this
Okay, so everyone ever get this? Okay now synthesis
Synthesis, right says no. No actually
Actually, we're completely beyond any kind of racism
We have no toleration for that. And therefore we're beyond any kind of collective guilt. All right, we're gonna no collective guilt
Right, right, right. No collective guilt Kirsten's not responsible
right and
White Americans are are not guilty right for slavery. Not true
Just like Germans aren't guilty for gassing my family
All right. There's actually we're responsible as Margaret Mead and James Baldwin agreed right for what we did
that's the way we're responsible in that sense right for sure and
there's a way in which were part of a community and there's a covenant between
generations in that community and I want to introduce this idea with
Often we talk about in the old religions a covenant between the human being in God, which is beautiful
But there's a second kind of covenant that's actually implicit in the lineage which is a covenant between the generations. Okay?
Right, right. Let's let's leave genetic to side guys. Okay, let's go stay out of that. Okay, let's stay in the Covenant here
There's a covenant between generations. So everyone get that
There's a covenant between generations. So there is
Intergenerational trauma
Right in the Jewish community. That's real and
There is intergenerational
Responsibilities in the Jewish community and I do feel right. I'm a complete Universalist. I'm a Buddhist. I'm a Christian
I'm a Muslim, but I also feel a unique
responsibility
Right to the continuity of the Jewish community and I feel a responsibility to the Jews of 2,000 years ago
Right and as a Universalist, I feel a responsibility even beings of 2,000 years ago, but but they don't contradict each other
and there's
intergenerational trauma an
Intergenerational glory an intergenerational beauty and there's a covenant between the generations and so it's not collective guilt
But it's unique
responsibility
So white America is not guilty for slavery. There was slavery all over the world
It was a tragedy in the world the United States participated in that world tragedy
It's not an evil or ugly American right?
There was slavery all over the world white set slaves and black set slaves and brown people had slaves black slaves all over the world
And black people had black slaves. It was a tragedy all over the world. There's been an evolution of consciousness
Right, right. We were living in the United States and we who came and immigrated to the United States
I'm a first generation American immigrant. I wasn't here. My family wasn't here
I had nothing to do with this. But as as an American, I'm an American
I'm proud to be American as an American by taking on being an American
Right, and then I'm also taking on
part of the collective responsibility
Of America in the Covenant between generations right to heal the intergenerational pain. Can you feel that?
Can you feel that everybody? That's not a soundbite you get that? That's not a sound buddy
It's deep
Like there's a covenant between who can hear that who can hear this if you can hear this if you know this
Just give it to me. Yes who can hear this right? It's deep. There's no collective guilt
Okay, there's not responsible in the sense. I'm being punished for what I didn't do right but there's a covenant between the generations
Right, and we can actually feel the suffering across the generations
All right. Remember we said you can get underneath the space-time continuum?
Remember we said that before right? So actually I can I can feel the suffering
Right. I can feel the suffering of my relatives. Right right, right a particular woman
I'm thinking about in my family was holding her baby in her arms as she entered the gas chambers right and suffocated with her, baby
12,000 G's a day gassed in Auschwitz. What does that mean?
By them the most cultured nation on earth and I can feel I can feel
Right what it means to have lynchings of black men who white women falsely accused them
Right of some sexual impropriety
Right who religious and then?
postcards of the lynched black men were passed around in the white community and I can feel that I can feel that horror and
That horror is alive on the streets today because there isn't a generational trauma
That doesn't excuse riding and doesn't excuse looting it doesn't
Excuse burning down your neighborhood like happened in 1968 in Detroit in Chicago
Which then actually wrecks the neighborhood and took the jobs away because they manufacturing left and caused untold
Disaster right for the black community. It doesn't that doesn't excuse that
Right, nor would it excuse it on the Jewish side, but but I can feel
Jewish pain through the generations and I can feel black pain to the generations and every time we scream we scream
For every time we never scream before and every time we protest we protest for every time we never protested before right?
right, and so so
beyond what the statistics are but needs to be looked at and beyond what's true which needs to be looked at because
We need to do fact check and we need to understand right?
But but beneath all that
beneath all that
Right. There's there's all the pain that we've never we've never we've never been able to hold and never been able to let go of
Because it's still with us and in every time I'm traumatized right I get reach romic eyes for all the old pain and that's real
That's real. It can't be rationally dismissed. Is that a rational conversation?
right right because ratio
ratios ratio where it comes from music
It's the right relationship between things the right relationship between things ratio actually means music because mathematics is a form of music
So rational means I've got to feel the music means I've got to feel the pain
I've got to feel the pathos right and I've got to realize that there's a covenant between generations
And I'm responsible to set this right
I'm responsible to set it right for all the generations and I'm responsible to feel pain beyond my pain
To feel pain to expand my circle horizontally
I got a feel beyond my community, but I've also got to feel beyond my generation
That's what leadership is to democratize greatness. You can't say okay the president the vice president, right?
There's a couple of people there the great people and we're often our egoic selves. That's at home
one more
Homo remember means were all part of this covenant between the generations
Right and we can all feel each other's pain and we can feel the pain
Through the generations and I can be a Jew in the gas chamber and I can be a black slave on a on a plantation
right
Wow
Right Wow
Right Wow
Who can feel this who can feel if you can feel it? Just that feel it if you can feel it
Just I feel it right who can feel what's gonna don't fill this. Yeah
Can you feel it if you feel it's a sad feeling just I'd say I feel it right
I feel like can you shout it out? Just feeling just shout out. I feel it. We can feel it, right
It's not just thinking it right rott. CEO
Rational means to feel the music. Right? Right, right. I can feel it and I feel it right I can feel it. I
Can't just think it I can't just have Talking Heads. All right talking and working out. No Dharma's to feel it
We can feel each other's pain
right
And we can feel each other's pain in we don't explain it away
Right, we can say no looting we can say no burning. That's absolutely right
We could say burn down your neighborhoods a really destructive. We can say that all the right or there's a lot we can say
Or we can a lot we can say to the right a lot. We can say to the left, but don't explain it away
I'd feel it
And it's intergenerational pain its intergenerational trauma. And because actually we're not guilty for what came before
But we can feel
Everything that came before and there's a covenant between the generations
And here's where it gets gorgeous. Okay?
There's what gets course. Here's the last thing. Okay, there's the last thing
Usually we can only feel at the ethnocentric level people can usually only feel their own people's pain
You have a very hard time feeling the pain of other people
right
My mother used to tell me all right, if it's good for the Jews. It's good for the world
Right, and she sent me arts or Morse's book
which was about while six million died it the
Silence the deafening silence of the world doing Holocaust and then I read David Wyman's book the abandonment of the Jews
Which about the deafening?
deafening pain
Well, the Holocaust happened when it could have been stopped in a thousand different ways and nothing was done in the world stood by silently
right
And I used to repeat that in speeches in my 20s and I would tell people about it all over the place
and then one day
Then I was about I was 40, you know woman stood up a Jewish woman, right and she start saying
You know repeating what I was saying about, you know how the world was silent, you know when the Jews were killed
And I realized that she was saying and I realized why it rang hollow for me at that point
I said to her I said wow, I get it
You're so right and I've been talking about this my whole life and and I said to her I said and I'm so happy that
You were an activist when a Khmer Rouge?
destroyed 2 million people and
Right in Thailand, and she looked at me. She know what I was talking about. I said, oh no, I
Apologize. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that I meant you've been a major activist for the Armenians who suffered genocide and and
She looked at me I said oh no, I'm I apologize. I I got it wrong. I forgot. You're a leading right? You're right
You're the person who jumped in when the Hutus were killing the Tutsis in
All right, 800,000 people were killed in a hundred days. You couldn't sleep at night, right?
And she looked at me and she got angry and I said to her I said we can't just feel the pain of our lineage
right
Right Homo amar means we can feel each other's pain
Right, every person in black lives matter has to say oh my god. I was gassed announcements and
Therefore I got to know what a Holocaust is and therefore I can't write lightly and wrongly in the black lives matter
Manifesto in 2016 then Israel commits genocide
And in a Nazi like way you can't write that in the black lives manner rent manifesto
Which the black lives matter did
And it's not that black lives matter activists even knew was written by a couple of people in a committee
But you can't do that. And if I'm in black lives matter, I am in Auschwitz
Right, and if I'm Jewish right, I'm on the plantation. I'm being lynched. I can't breathe from lynching just like you can't breathe
right from being gassed
Right, it's not by accident that Abraham Joshua Heschel the great Jewish master marched next to Martin Luther King right in Selma
Right and the Catholics and the Protestants and the Jews and the blacks and the Sunnis right in the Shiites
Right. We got to move beyond. We actually are one world. We are one love. We are one heart
right, right and
And and we can feel each other
We don't melt
Actually, each of us gorgeous instruments unique religions unique races right unique
nationalities gorgeous racism unique self Symphony, but ultimately we're part of one people and we're part of one hundred part of one love and
And when we do sense making screens we sense each other, right?
We feel each other means we commit outrageous acts of love for each other. Not just for our own people
I had that one but each of us
Feels each other's pain and lets our hearts be ripped open by each other's pain
And weak in outrageous acts fer of love for each other
My child's your child and your child is my child
for real
So Krista, you tell us how to step in and be part of this revolution
To be part of this home one more to be part of outrageous acts of love and it was delight
I turned the word to lady Krista
Wow, thank you Mark

Go here to our
Darling Jacqueline who has recorded for us this gorgeous poem that I just wanted to share with you
Another rose that peeps from sepals parted
Hungers now for Sun upon her face to spread and radiate her beauty far and wide
alluring
Sweetest fragrance on the air the bumblebee who coaxes her with tender brush and probing tongue
To offer up her all for all
The swelling fruit of ecstasy and bliss blessed with perfection ever greater yet

Expressions is needed and we all have our own flavor and our own taste

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Kristin
We're gonna end right we're gonna end here, but we're gonna end with Father's Day
Okay
So that's when I thanked everyone right who just made it all the way through and it was a hugely important was so important today
Right. It's so important so important and just your attention and our attention on each other in our love for each other
Happy Father's Day everyone, right? So there's a most important part. It's always at the end
That's the most important part and we're gonna hear from Barbara next week and on confession of greatness
We're gonna stay in the same code. We're gonna go deeper and every week we're gonna unpack it. We're gonna get to some really
explosive conversations
We're gonna say things that are that are shocking or we're gonna say things that are politically incorrect to the right
We politically incorrect to the left because we're sensual together. We're doing sense-making. We're creating a new hole right in a new possibility
We're gonna do it with so much urgency, but not the urgency that's born of the ego
All right, my good friend Jerry Jett and my dear friend. Tom reminded me a conversation of debate
I had with my friend Jerry Judd and Jerry and I think Tom how long was how old was Jerry when I had this debate?
With him, he must have been 96 already something like that, right? He died at about a hundred
He was I think he was 90 mark was it that early on it was early on
This is like 90. Right right. He was he gonna. Okay. Thank you, but he was a young 90, right?
Any-any he was he was he 99 Tom when he passed away
Right, something like that
99 and 3/4, right? Okay, 99 and 3/4 and Jerry dead was a
beautiful man, and I had the privilege at his and
Terry and Shawn and Victoria's
Invitation to spend about a decade we did about a decade doing wisdom school at a place called shallow mountain in New York
which is a great little you know, kind of unclaimed and
Jerry called me and he said mark I heard your controversial
He said some guy called me up and said not to work with you. He said
Ìlook job. He said my man that this wonderful. Wonderful. We loved each other a lot and we did send some deep work together
We had an early conversation on urgency, right?
and you know Jerry said
You know at 90 he said you know urgency that's that's the ego the egos urgent and you know
You got to be in you know, he didn't use these words
But he was talking about true self this enlightened place beyond urgency, and I said to Jerry
You know that there's an urgency of the ego which we have to let go of and be in this place
Which is beyond suffering and then live in the timeless time and place this place and then I come out of it into unique self
The unique expression of that seamless code of the universe and emergent and it's urgent again
But you see when it's urgency of the ego. You've got to say it now you can't wait
All right, there's no wedge of awareness when it's urgency of unique self. You got to go deeper
you got to find your truth and you got to challenge your truth and you got to do it again and again and
So we're gonna we're gonna say some urgent things here
Best secret is your urgency what we might call an ecstatic urgency for the sake of the whole so it's Father's Day
We're going to end with Father's Day. All right, and it's Father's Day and Father's Day is the realization that father's matter
I attend
My dear friend Warren Farrell who's on the board of our Center front of our wisdom
he's actually the vice president wrote a great book called the boy crisis and
It's about the link in all the communities in America between violence and the lack of fathers
Whether it's school shooters
Right almost always have right
horrific father stories
Right or whether it's you know other communities and and their violence right in the tragic lack
Of fathers and the correlation between the lack of fathers Barack Obama recognized particularly this issue in the black community
I didn't set up an organization which was about actually working with right black boys
And in the Jewish community at the trans, I read the transmission from father to son and father the daughter, right?
He's critical in and the break in that line of transmission, right? It is tragic
Right, and we all need the blessing of the father
Right. We all need the blessing of the father. I desperately
Yearned for the blessing of the Father and and didn't quite get it
Right. I had a very very painful relationship with my father all essentially a non relationship, you know
which ended when I was 13, and my father was physically abusive I
Attended 13. I responded and said no enough and walked out
and didn't have any real communication, you know occasional polite communications, but for decades
And for decades living upright and then I went to visit him, you know a couple of months before he died
Right in June of 2015, right?
And he sat and he told me that he sat on the lap
right in Europe
great teacher cauldre bleh-bleh eager
Not a man that anyone here knows but I blable ager was the student of the person that I choose is my teacher
Named Mordecai liner about whom I wrote the book radical couple'a and it turned out which I had no idea for decades
Right that my father and his family
Were actually initiates
In the is baka lineage, which I didn't even know
Right, and I desperately
Wanted his blessing
But he didn't know how to give it
he didn't know how to give it and and and I didn't know how to respect him enough to receive it and I was
Blown away or what I viewed as his his tragic flaws
Right, and so I never got the blessing of the Father and I honor my father right now
And we all need the blessing of the Father and sometimes we get it from our biological father and sometimes we don't
But we all can actually be father to each other
We can all give each other the blessing of the Father and the way we give each other the blessing of the Father
It's two ways. Okay one is by being proud of each other
Okay, I'm proud of you
Right. It's different in the blessing the mother and well
We'll talk a different week about the mother and the blessing of the mother
Just we're gonna end now with the blessing of the Father. I'm proud of you. All right, Christina Milan you read so beautifully today
I'm proud of you
Krista
Right. You're so beautiful today, right? I'm proud of you, Tom
Wright who resonated the code and we've been right for it for a decade and more. I'm so proud of you
Right, right, right. We can be proud of each other
You can be proud of me
We can actually give each other the blessing of the Father
That's number one, but number two, it's not enough
We also have to move beyond coddling each other. But Jonathan hate called the coddling of the American mind
We have to call each other to our greatness. We have to demand each other's confession of greatness
We have to have to literally make demands
right
fierce demands
Right fierce demands for each other's greatness because we need each other
And finally the blessing the father's I'm wildly overjoyed by your gifts and our music comes together
So we're gonna end today with a vision of the blessing of the Father
So Christine Alan if you can take us in to fall on me, and I want to ask you before we go in to
Actually really be with us to be with us around the world and meditate this. It's about three minutes. It's worth everything and
actually feel a
Great father right the archetype of father the energy of father and Cosmo saying to you and proud of you
Calling you I need your unique gift. I need you to hold my hand to co-create with me
right confess your greatness and
Watch the look of the son and the father is an actual son of the father in this video that we played a few weeks
ago
Actually, listen to the words if someone can maybe put the words in the chat box if you have them
And just watch their faces
You
