Can our understanding of spirituality transform the chaotic landscape of global events? This episode takes you on a profound journey, exploring the intersection of faith, politics, and our shared humanity. We delve into the spiritual implications behind the UN's acceptance of Palestine, the impact of President Joe Biden's decision to halt a weapons shipment to Israel, and the universal craving for peace that transcends borders and beliefs. Confronting the divisive attitudes that fuel superiority complexes and strife, our conversation seeks to illuminate the teachings of Jesus Yeshua, advocating for a perspective that honors our collective divinity and the true spirit behind religious law.
Prepare to be inspired as we discuss the transformative power of mutual respect in cultivating world peace. We shed light on the importance of self-improvement and the inherent potential for good that lies within each of us, challenging the narrative of inherent human flaw. Acknowledging the exhaustion many feel towards persistent division, we propose unity as the bedrock for societal progress, where diversity is not just tolerated but celebrated. This episode offers hope for a future where global conflicts are resolved through diplomacy and a shared commitment to a peaceful coexistence, highlighting the role each individual plays in forging a harmonious world. Join us in reimagining a society where our differences are the catalyst for our collective advancement.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everyone, welcome spiritual seekers,
welcome back to anotherspiritual message.
Last week we've had a lot ofthings going on, haven't we Been
watching not just the news but,you know, social media, things
of that nature.
Sadly, it seems like socialmedia is the only way to
(00:21):
actually get some news anymore.
Social media is the only way toactually get some news anymore,
because American news channelsjust don't seem to want to
broadcast the entire, unbiasedtruth anymore.
But there is so much happening.
We see the UN has acceptedPalestine in as a member.
(00:42):
We see that president joe bidenhas halted a weapons shipment
to israel.
We see people throughout theworld working to end this
genocide and this slaughter ofinnocent people.
We see unification.
(01:05):
We see people waking up allover the world realizing who
they are, realizing that theirgovernment is not their God,
that, in fact, government wasput in place to assist the
(01:26):
people, not to control thepeople.
But our governments have becomecorrupt, corrupt to the point
of if we do not stand, if we donot establish new governments
throughout this world, then Ithink we all know the outcome.
(01:47):
We see Israel.
We see the arrogance in whatthey claim to be the chosen
people.
We see that they, and we hearwhat they say, at least the
people that are actuallyresearching and looking into
these things, because you won'tfind what I'm saying on the
(02:09):
regular news.
You won't see that theIsraelite people believe that
everyone else is below them,that they believe that this
world are dogs compared to them,this world are dogs compared to
them, that they are at the topof the ladder here, and that is
(02:33):
not the case.
We look and we see theirdisrespect.
We see their unappreciation forlife.
We see their racism and theirbigotry.
We see that, though they maybelieve that they serve and they
(02:55):
function under this one God,that this is not the God of
creation and this is not the Godof many of us here on planet
earth.
We were a planet of many gods,weren't we?
We were a planet of many faithsand many traditions and many
(03:17):
gods.
We all are different, we allhave DNA traits that mark us as
different and we had differentaspects of faith and cultures
and gods, until one mainreligion began to move out and,
(03:42):
in their quest to so-calledconvert people to their God,
they destroyed, they slaughteredand they eliminated each and
every individual that refused toconvert and to become like them
, and we see that going on inIsrael right now, because they
(04:04):
don't want to deal with theMuslim people anymore.
They can't live in peace withanybody that opposes or is
different than what they are.
They don't know peace.
They don't know how to achievepeace Because it's not in their
nature.
(04:24):
From everything that I've seensince, the age of accountability
has been nothing but division,rage, racism and hate coming
from people that are supposed tobe the chosen people.
I do not believe these are thechosen people.
And if you believe they are thechosen people, I do not believe
(04:45):
these are the chosen people.
And if you believe they are thechosen people simply because of
this book, this book that wedon't even know the author to
says that you know, a fewthousand years ago, that a God
(05:09):
gave them this land, withoutregard to anyone else's God,
without regard to whether thatbe factual, whether that be
historically correct, whetherthat be even just be
historically correct, whetherthat be even just.
(05:34):
We have people out there thatsupport Israel simply because
the Bible says so, and it's likehave we gone completely insane
that we believe this book,without doubt, without question,
without regard to intellectualthought and deductive reasonings
, that you believe a book thathas been altered over 30,000
(05:59):
times as factual truth.
I'm not saying that there arenot good things within the Bible
, because there are.
There are many good things thathelp us live a good life, many
good things that can even lead aperson to God.
But they have been altered andtampered and tainted by mankind
(06:24):
itself in order to control, inorder to do exactly what Israel
is doing right now.
Because how many of us outthere right now would still
support Israel and its genocideif it were never written within
Scripture to do so?
And if you say that right now,that that's the only reason that
(06:48):
, in your opinion, yes, they aredoing wrong, and even though
that they have reason to beangry, just like the
Palestinians have reason to beangry that there is another way,
that there is a diplomatic wayto end this war, if you want to
call it a war, that there is away to bring peace among all
(07:12):
people.
All it takes is understandingthe divinity within ourselves.
Understanding, you know,because the man that you call
Jesus, yeshua, he came to teachmany things, but we know that,
(07:32):
even when dealing with thePharisees, the Pharisees, all
they knew was law, all they knewwas a book.
They couldn't quite understandwhy, or the deeper concepts that
were within the book.
And Jesus Yeshua would try toteach them.
(07:55):
And in his teaching theythought he was a heretic because
he was going against what waswritten.
And he wasn't going againstwhat was written.
And he wasn't going againstwhat was written, he was trying
to explain to them the spiritbehind the law, the reasoning
behind the law.
Well, we're not supposed to doanything on the Sabbath day, but
(08:19):
who wouldn't?
If someone was in danger oflosing their life wouldn't go
help them on the Sabbath day.
You know examples like thatthat.
You know that the purpose ofthat law was to ask people to
rest, to give that day in honor,to give that day in honor, to
(08:46):
give that day in relaxation foryourself, to kind of untie the
burdens of work and the trialsand tribulations and to focus on
the real needs and the realpurpose of life and to enjoy it.
(09:09):
That's what the whole.
But they couldn't quiteunderstand the law and people
can't do that in today's societyeither.
You know I have many people thatwhen they're trying to
deconstruct from mainstreamreligion, when they're trying to
deconstruct from corporateChristianity, and they don't
(09:32):
quite understand.
You know that you can'tvalidate a book by using the
book itself, and so many peopletry to do that when they're
trying to pull people back intotheir fold.
Well, this scripture says this.
Well, yeah, but that scripturesays this and this scripture
(09:54):
says that, but you're using thesame book.
How do you validate a book witha book?
How do you validate when youdon't even know who wrote the
book, when the book was written,when you don't even understand
how many times those wordingshave changed and how many books
have been taken out, how manytimes books or not books but
(10:18):
words have been added, forinstance, you know, like the
book of enoch.
Book of enoch was removed frommost bibles because it it its
teachings were more extreme andmore outside the lines of what
(10:41):
the church wanted people tounderstand as the truth.
Because it is, because I'veread it.
It is very enlightening, butyou remember, if you've read the
Bible, it says Enoch was a manthat walked with God.
(11:03):
Now, why would they remove abook from someone that walked
with God himself?
Does anybody ever ask thatquestion?
But yet you still say that yousupport Israel strictly because
the book says so.
The book also says to stonerebellious children to death.
(11:24):
It also says it's acceptable tosell your daughter into slavery
.
It also says that you can't eatmany foods upon this earth.
But we do, and it seems like somany people out there, so many
christians out there, want tosay that the book is 100% the
(11:46):
inspiration of God and we mustfollow this thing 100%.
Oh, but not that and not that,and not that and not that.
But yes, that right over there.
Is that insanity, or is it justme?
We've lost the aspect ofspirituality.
We've lost the aspect ofspirituality.
(12:12):
We've lost the, the idea oftuning in and listening to
spirit within ourselves.
How many religions and faithsout there that tell us to look
within to find the answers?
Because that's the truth, evenwhen I'm teaching people,
deconstructing, when they kindof say well, I'm used to looking
upwards in order to find God orto find you know, I said, but
(12:37):
even Jesus said, the kingdom ofGod is within you and where else
, where the king reside, but inthe kingdom?
I will also says that God isspirit, meaning within you,
within your spirit, lies thevery essence of God, of
(13:04):
everything divine, and we're nottalking about your fleshly
outer, the temple that sheltersand holds this spirit.
But we've lost the idea andmost of us are even afraid to
even talk about that that we arespirits having a physical
(13:27):
experience, but we've limitedourselves so many times as
Christians that we have no power, we have no understanding and
we do ignorant things likesupport a nation that is
murdering children.
There's countries all over theworld I think it was a hundred
(13:51):
and forgive me if I'm wrong, butI think it was 143 countries
supported Palestine becoming amember of the UN and an entity
within themselves to where theyhave the right to exist as they
choose to exist.
(14:12):
We are making grounds, but I seeso much hate, especially on
social media here in the United.
So many people that say they goto church every week, twice a
week.
You see them ministering allover Facebook and Twitter and
(14:34):
whatever else that they're onout there and, at the same time,
condoning the murder ofchildren, of innocent women and
even men that are not soldiers.
This is without honor.
(14:54):
You know I'm a veteran myselfand I know many other veterans
and I've, you know, whenspeaking about honor, the only
thing that you can and there's alot of those within Japanese
traditions and various othersthat can understand what I'm
(15:16):
saying and I hope you do toowhen it speaks about honor, but
a man that kills innocent people, innocent people that can't
even defend themselves becausethey have no weapons to defend
themselves.
There is no honor in that.
There is no honor in murderingpeople outside of defense or
(15:41):
protection, but that's exactlywhat they're doing.
They're slaughtering people forland and resources, and our
churches in this country, oreven the people that aren't
religious but have beenbrainwashed by the media,
support a country that or I wantto kind of reword that, because
(16:05):
you know, you can still supporta country's right to defense
and a country's right to existand still fight the corruption
within that country.
You can still fight the actionsof that country without
(16:26):
necessarily coming against thecountry itself.
What Israel is doing is wrong,and I don't believe any religion
can agree that it's right, atleast no religion that is of
peace and love, because peaceand love does not murder
(16:49):
five-year-old babies, does not.
I seen a picture the other dayof an 18 month old child that
had a bullet to the back of itshead and people won't say, well,
that's, that's just casualtiesof war.
No, it's fighting without honor.
(17:10):
We're fighting with drones andplanes that people can't even
see, that all of a sudden a bombhas dropped on their houses as
they sleep and we want to saythat while we're just killing
(17:30):
terrorists.
Have we lost our minds?
Have we lost our humanity?
It seems like we have.
I see it even here in thiscountry, when simple things like
driving down the road, whengrown adults can't even follow
the law, but yet we expect ourchildren to walk the line.
We've got grown adults thatdrive, reckless and stupid and
(18:00):
it's just insane the things thatwe see in this country and, at
the same time, demanding ourchildren follow the rules and
follow the laws, as we as adultscan't seem to get by one day
doing that same thing.
Sometimes it feels likeAmericans are a fart in a
(18:22):
whirlwind.
Feels like Americans are a fartin a whirlwind, just completely
crazy and absolutely fickle,not knowing what it is that they
stand on, not knowing what itis that they believe in, because
(18:45):
they're so filled withpropaganda and hate and false
stories, false narratives, thatthey don't even know what to
believe, because they don't haveanything to fall back on.
They have no truth.
And then, when someone startsto speak the truth, they believe
it's a conspiracy theory andthey laugh because they're not
used to the truth.
They're used to lies, andespecially religious people.
(19:06):
Religious people will doanything and they will fight
tooth and nail to hang on to abelief simply because it's what
they have believed.
And it's hard I know it's hardto believe something for years
and then find out that, well,that wasn't true, because not
(19:26):
only did the people that taughtyou that lie to you, but you
were fooled, you were conned andyou were deceived and for years
you lost years of your life toa lie.
And that's why I fight everyday to help teach people the
truth, to enlighten people ofthe truth.
(19:47):
And, yes, most people, justlike they did Yeshua, they call
them a heretic Because they goagainst the grain, they go
against the narrative of modernday mainstream religion, when
actually they're not.
They're teaching the same thing, they're just teaching it in a
(20:08):
spiritual manner where peoplecan't understand, because true
truth comes from spiritualrevelation, it comes from within
.
And most of us in this world nowwe're looking around, we're
looking at the sky, we'relooking at whatever it is,
trying to find divinity, whendivinity is already within us.
(20:32):
But we've been bowed beat sincethe day we were born that we're
useless, that we're sinners,that we're dirty, that we, and
that there's nothing good withinus.
It's an absolute tainted lie.
There is good in us.
(20:52):
We just have to find it.
We have to be willing to lookwithin ourselves.
We have to be willing to seeeven the bad within us and then
work through that bad.
We have to be open enough andcourageous enough to know that
and to work through those badthings within us, and that's how
(21:17):
we become a better person To beopen, to understanding what
peace is, what mutual respect isOur modern day.
Young people are tired, and Iknow most of us, even older,
(21:37):
we're tired too, but the youngare just absolutely sick to
death of hate and bigotry,division and just outright
stupidity when it comes to theway we deal with politics, how
we deal with laws and how wefight each other about things
(22:01):
that are ignorant, yet we talkabout freedom, or ignorant, yet
we talk about freedom.
Well, at the same time, many ofus are doing everything in our
power to restrict other people'sfreedom, as we're preaching
freedom If we just focused onourselves and our own well-being
(22:25):
, and our own well-being and ourown spiritual paths, and then
we work together as humanity Forthe other things Education,
infrastructure, the future, thatwe can be different and we can
(22:45):
believe different, and yet westill can live together in peace
if we can respect each other'sdifferences.
You get people well.
I cannot accept that about thatreligion, and you know what you
don't need to.
What you need to do is respecttheir right to believe in just
(23:07):
that and to be able to live itwithout persecution, just like
you want.
The Muslim has their right tolive as they choose.
The Christian has the right tolive as they choose.
The Hindu and the Buddhist andwhoever else that may be out
there, or no religion at all.
(23:28):
If you want to just live yourlife with no religion at all,
then you have the right to do soand to be at peace, not to have
, not to be constantly houndedor have religion forced down
your throat, or to see some typeof religion on every corner of
(23:49):
every block in every town, tohave it on your television set
every night and hear it on theradio every day.
Mutual respect goes both ways.
It goes many ways, actually.
Mutual respect means you allowpeople to be themselves.
(24:13):
It means that you allow them togrow as they need to grow and
as they choose to grow, and youdo the same.
And the only things that wework together on is society.
It's simple.
(24:34):
World peace is so simple.
Many of us we don't know how todo it unless we're all the same.
But we can't agree on this andwe can't agree on that.
We don't have to agree oneverything in order to
accomplish big things.
You can have a whole team ofmultiple religions, no religions
and multiple traditions, andtogether they can build and
(24:58):
build and build, and all oftheir differences never make a
difference in what they havecreated.
What changes things is withinus, the things that are tangled
up within us because of the waywe've been taught, and the
(25:20):
things that we get throughpropaganda.
They teach hate, they teachdivision, and they do these
things to keep us separated.
So we don't empower each other,so we don't wake up one day.
And why are we fighting eachother?
Think what we could do together.
Think what we could do if wejust laid down the need to call
(25:46):
this land ours, the need to havea certain flag or a certain
name or a certain, that theworld belonged to the people
period and all land belonged tothe people, that certain
traditions and certain cultureswere based, if I can say this
(26:13):
right, within certain areas,certain countries, but yet
people were still free to go andexplore and to seek and to.
If we could do that in a mutualrespect, because so many of us
I've seen it, just like manyChristians in the United States
(26:35):
they feel that it's acceptableto go to other countries that
hold different religions andthey'll go under the radar and
try to push their religion uponanother society.
And then they want to complainwhen bad things happen to them
(26:56):
and they don't seem to grasp theconcept of the disrespect that
you gave to that country, thedisrespect that you gave to that
country, the disrespect thatyou gave to that culture, the
disrespect that you gave totheir God or their gods, because
you felt that you were superior, that your so-called truth was
(27:21):
the only truth and everybodyelse is wrong and you have to do
what you have to do.
We've got to let those thingsgo.
If your God chooses to convertthe people overseas or in other
countries, then let that God doso, not you.
(27:44):
You focus on you.
You focus on your family.
Leave the spiritual things athome, unless you're asked.
Work with humanity, work witheach other for peace, prosperity
and happiness.
We can do this together if wecan lay down the ignorance, the
(28:06):
hate that we've been taught.
This together.
If we can lay down theignorance, the hate that we've
been taught, we can see placeslike Palestine being empowered
and taking back what is theirs.
That we can maybe bring peaceto Israel and Palestine and to
other places within this worldthat are having some of the same
(28:28):
issues Russia and the Ukraine.
That we can find ways,diplomatic ways, without
murdering and slaughtering,because every child had a mother
.
Every mother's child dies inthese wars that do not have to
(28:51):
be Wars come from a lack ofcompromise, a lack of wisdom and
a lack of wanting peace.
It's not about money, it's notabout land, it's not about
anything else.
You're going to say well,you're a're a dreamer.
Yes, I am a dreamer and I hopeyou are one too, but together we
(29:17):
can turn that dream intoreality.
It can be done if you simplychoose to do so.
Choose mutual respect, chooselove, choose coexistence and
humanity rather than money,greed and selfishness.
(29:42):
Arrogance Thank you, arrogance.
Thank you everybody.
Thank you for tuning in to thePagan Preacher.
Thank you for listening.

How do you validate when youdon't even know who wrote the
book, when the book was written,when you don't even understand
how many times those wordingshave changed and how many books
have been taken out, how manytimes books or not books but
(10:18):
words have been added, forinstance, you know, like the
book of enoch.
Book of enoch was removed frommost bibles because it it its
teachings were more extreme andmore outside the lines of what
(10:41):
the church wanted people tounderstand as the truth.
Because it is, because I'veread it.
It is very enlightening, butyou remember, if you've read the
Bible, it says Enoch was a manthat walked with God.
(11:03):
Now, why would they remove abook from someone that walked
with God himself?
Does anybody ever ask thatquestion?
But yet you still say that yousupport Israel strictly because
the book says so.
The book also says to stonerebellious children to death.
(11:24):
It also says it's acceptable tosell your daughter into slavery
.
It also says that you can't eatmany foods upon this earth.
But we do, and it seems like somany people out there, so many
christians out there, want tosay that the book is 100% the
(11:46):
inspiration of God and we mustfollow this thing 100%.
Oh, but not that and not that,and not that and not that.
But yes, that right over there.
Is that insanity, or is it justme?
We've lost the aspect ofspirituality.
We've lost the aspect ofspirituality.
(12:12):
We've lost the, the idea oftuning in and listening to
spirit within ourselves.
How many religions and faithsout there that tell us to look
within to find the answers?
Because that's the truth, evenwhen I'm teaching people,
deconstructing, when they kindof say well, I'm used to looking
upwards in order to find God orto find you know, I said, but
(12:37):
even Jesus said, the kingdom ofGod is within you and where else
, where the king reside, but inthe kingdom?
I will also says that God isspirit, meaning within you,
within your spirit, lies thevery essence of God, of
(13:04):
everything divine, and we're nottalking about your fleshly
outer, the temple that sheltersand holds this spirit.
But we've lost the idea andmost of us are even afraid to
even talk about that that we arespirits having a physical
(13:27):
experience, but we've limitedourselves so many times as
Christians that we have no power, we have no understanding and
we do ignorant things likesupport a nation that is
murdering children.
There's countries all over theworld I think it was a hundred
(13:51):
and forgive me if I'm wrong, butI think it was 143 countries
supported Palestine becoming amember of the UN and an entity
within themselves to where theyhave the right to exist as they
choose to exist.
(14:12):
We are making grounds, but I seeso much hate, especially on
social media here in the United.
So many people that say they goto church every week, twice a
week.
You see them ministering allover Facebook and Twitter and
(14:34):
whatever else that they're onout there and, at the same time,
condoning the murder ofchildren, of innocent women and
even men that are not soldiers.
This is without honor.
(14:54):
You know I'm a veteran myselfand I know many other veterans
and I've, you know, whenspeaking about honor, the only
thing that you can and there's alot of those within Japanese
traditions and various othersthat can understand what I'm
(15:16):
saying and I hope you do toowhen it speaks about honor, but
a man that kills innocent people, innocent people that can't
even defend themselves becausethey have no weapons to defend
themselves.
There is no honor in that.
There is no honor in murderingpeople outside of defense or
(15:41):
protection, but that's exactlywhat they're doing.
They're slaughtering people forland and resources, and our
churches in this country, oreven the people that aren't
religious but have beenbrainwashed by the media,
support a country that or I wantto kind of reword that, because
(16:05):
you know, you can still supporta country's right to defense
and a country's right to existand still fight the corruption
within that country.
You can still fight the actionsof that country without
(16:26):
necessarily coming against thecountry itself.
What Israel is doing is wrong,and I don't believe any religion
can agree that it's right, atleast no religion that is of
peace and love, because peaceand love does not murder
(16:49):
five-year-old babies, does not.
I seen a picture the other dayof an 18 month old child that
had a bullet to the back of itshead and people won't say, well,
that's, that's just casualtiesof war.
No, it's fighting without honor.
(17:10):
We're fighting with drones andplanes that people can't even
see, that all of a sudden a bombhas dropped on their houses as
they sleep and we want to saythat while we're just killing
(17:30):
terrorists.
Have we lost our minds?
Have we lost our humanity?
It seems like we have.
I see it even here in thiscountry, when simple things like
driving down the road, whengrown adults can't even follow
the law, but yet we expect ourchildren to walk the line.
We've got grown adults thatdrive, reckless and stupid and
(18:00):
it's just insane the things thatwe see in this country and, at
the same time, demanding ourchildren follow the rules and
follow the laws, as we as adultscan't seem to get by one day
doing that same thing.
Sometimes it feels likeAmericans are a fart in a
(18:22):
whirlwind.
Feels like Americans are a fartin a whirlwind, just completely
crazy and absolutely fickle,not knowing what it is that they
stand on, not knowing what itis that they believe in, because
(18:45):
they're so filled withpropaganda and hate and false
stories, false narratives, thatthey don't even know what to
believe, because they don't haveanything to fall back on.
They have no truth.
And then, when someone startsto speak the truth, they believe
it's a conspiracy theory andthey laugh because they're not
used to the truth.
They're used to lies, andespecially religious people.
(19:06):
Religious people will doanything and they will fight
tooth and nail to hang on to abelief simply because it's what
they have believed.
And it's hard I know it's hardto believe something for years
and then find out that, well,that wasn't true, because not
(19:26):
only did the people that taughtyou that lie to you, but you
were fooled, you were conned andyou were deceived and for years
you lost years of your life toa lie.
And that's why I fight everyday to help teach people the
truth, to enlighten people ofthe truth.
(19:47):
And, yes, most people, justlike they did Yeshua, they call
them a heretic Because they goagainst the grain, they go
against the narrative of modernday mainstream religion, when
actually they're not.
They're teaching the same thing, they're just teaching it in a
(20:08):
spiritual manner where peoplecan't understand, because true
truth comes from spiritualrevelation, it comes from within
.
And most of us in this world nowwe're looking around, we're
looking at the sky, we'relooking at whatever it is,
trying to find divinity, whendivinity is already within us.
(20:32):
But we've been bowed beat sincethe day we were born that we're
useless, that we're sinners,that we're dirty, that we, and
that there's nothing good withinus.
It's an absolute tainted lie.
There is good in us.
(20:52):
We just have to find it.
We have to be willing to lookwithin ourselves.
We have to be willing to seeeven the bad within us and then
work through that bad.
We have to be open enough andcourageous enough to know that
and to work through those badthings within us, and that's how
(21:17):
we become a better person To beopen, to understanding what
peace is, what mutual respect isOur modern day.
Young people are tired, and Iknow most of us, even older,
(21:37):
we're tired too, but the youngare just absolutely sick to
death of hate and bigotry,division and just outright
stupidity when it comes to theway we deal with politics, how
we deal with laws and how wefight each other about things
(22:01):
that are ignorant, yet we talkabout freedom, or ignorant, yet
we talk about freedom.
Well, at the same time, many ofus are doing everything in our
power to restrict other people'sfreedom, as we're preaching
freedom If we just focused onourselves and our own well-being
(22:25):
, and our own well-being and ourown spiritual paths, and then
we work together as humanity Forthe other things Education,
infrastructure, the future, thatwe can be different and we can
(22:45):
believe different, and yet westill can live together in peace
if we can respect each other'sdifferences.
You get people well.
I cannot accept that about thatreligion, and you know what you
don't need to.
What you need to do is respecttheir right to believe in just
(23:07):
that and to be able to live itwithout persecution, just like
you want.
The Muslim has their right tolive as they choose.
The Christian has the right tolive as they choose.
The Hindu and the Buddhist andwhoever else that may be out
there, or no religion at all.
(23:28):
If you want to just live yourlife with no religion at all,
then you have the right to do soand to be at peace, not to have
, not to be constantly houndedor have religion forced down
your throat, or to see some typeof religion on every corner of
(23:49):
every block in every town, tohave it on your television set
every night and hear it on theradio every day.
Mutual respect goes both ways.
It goes many ways, actually.
Mutual respect means you allowpeople to be themselves.
(24:13):
It means that you allow them togrow as they need to grow and
as they choose to grow, and youdo the same.
And the only things that wework together on is society.
It's simple.
(24:34):
World peace is so simple.
Many of us we don't know how todo it unless we're all the same.
But we can't agree on this andwe can't agree on that.
We don't have to agree oneverything in order to
accomplish big things.
You can have a whole team ofmultiple religions, no religions
and multiple traditions, andtogether they can build and
(24:58):
build and build, and all oftheir differences never make a
difference in what they havecreated.
What changes things is withinus, the things that are tangled
up within us because of the waywe've been taught, and the
(25:20):
things that we get throughpropaganda.
They teach hate, they teachdivision, and they do these
things to keep us separated.
So we don't empower each other,so we don't wake up one day.
And why are we fighting eachother?
Think what we could do together.
Think what we could do if wejust laid down the need to call
(25:46):
this land ours, the need to havea certain flag or a certain
name or a certain, that theworld belonged to the people
period and all land belonged tothe people, that certain
traditions and certain cultureswere based, if I can say this
(26:13):
right, within certain areas,certain countries, but yet
people were still free to go andexplore and to seek and to.
If we could do that in a mutualrespect, because so many of us
I've seen it, just like manyChristians in the United States
(26:35):
they feel that it's acceptableto go to other countries that
hold different religions andthey'll go under the radar and
try to push their religion uponanother society.
And then they want to complainwhen bad things happen to them
(26:56):
and they don't seem to grasp theconcept of the disrespect that
you gave to that country, thedisrespect that you gave to that
country, the disrespect thatyou gave to that culture, the
disrespect that you gave totheir God or their gods, because
you felt that you were superior, that your so-called truth was
(27:21):
the only truth and everybodyelse is wrong and you have to do
what you have to do.
We've got to let those thingsgo.
If your God chooses to convertthe people overseas or in other
countries, then let that God doso, not you.
(27:44):
You focus on you.
You focus on your family.
Leave the spiritual things athome, unless you're asked.
Work with humanity, work witheach other for peace, prosperity
and happiness.
We can do this together if wecan lay down the ignorance, the
(28:06):
hate that we've been taught.
This together.
If we can lay down theignorance, the hate that we've
been taught, we can see placeslike Palestine being empowered
and taking back what is theirs.
That we can maybe bring peaceto Israel and Palestine and to
other places within this worldthat are having some of the same
(28:28):
issues Russia and the Ukraine.
That we can find ways,diplomatic ways, without
murdering and slaughtering,because every child had a mother
.
Every mother's child dies inthese wars that do not have to
(28:51):
be Wars come from a lack ofcompromise, a lack of wisdom and
a lack of wanting peace.
It's not about money, it's notabout land, it's not about
anything else.
You're going to say well,you're a're a dreamer.
Yes, I am a dreamer and I hopeyou are one too, but together we
(29:17):
can turn that dream intoreality.
It can be done if you simplychoose to do so.
Choose mutual respect, chooselove, choose coexistence and
humanity rather than money,greed and selfishness.
