Successful Social Change - L, L, & L W/ Glenn Ambrose

In this episode, I discuss how large social change happens successfully. We can learn from history and understand it so that we can do our part in the right ways with the right energy. It's time to slow down, learn how things work, and apply ourselves in ways that are in alignment with ourselves personally. But 1st we have to understand what we're looking at and how successful change occurs.

Welcome to Life Lessons and Laughter with your host, Glenn Ambrose. Hey everybody, Welcome to the show. What's happening? How are you? Talk to me, Reach out, Say hello. Yeah, Hopefully people are doing well. So today we're talking about successful social change as opposed to non-successful social change. You know, We're, I mean, You know, Here we are, Right? Here we are, We're in the world and it's a melee and there are problems everywhere and there is ridiculous wars going on that basically most people can see right through and there are problems everywhere and governments aren't listening and they're doing whatever the hell they want. And, You know, So all this, You know, They're just doing whatever, They're doing whatever they want at this point. You know, It did the, The, The one that I just found out like last week or something that cracks me up is, Is, You know, The, The, The US government has failed to submit an audit or pass an audit for the last six years in a row. Like they're not even trying anymore. They're just like, We're spending your money. We're not telling you where, Get over it for six years in a row. So this is where we are. I mean, It's anybody with eyes, It's obvious to see that the power has funneled upward. The power and the money is funneled upward so much to a point where saying, Hey, Don't do that. It doesn't work. They're not, The powers that be are not interested in appeasing us anymore. They're not, They don't really care if, If we think they're doing the right thing anymore. Like, They're just like, No, We're just doing what we do. Just shut up and be quiet. Okay. Just, And if you ask us, We're just going to give you some BS answer that you guys have been following for, For the last 20 years, Like we're looking into it, But it's really complicated and you don't understand, Or we're, We're, We told you we're doing the best we can, Or, You know, Some, Some empty foolish answer or something. So like, You know, And this is globally, It's not just the United States. So you know, This is where we are, Where we're at a place in the world, In a time of history where, Where we've reached the, The, The top of the pyramid scheme. Everybody knows it. You know, The people at the top know it, You know, And, And they're just so, So now they're just taking everything they're like, You know, Okay, Let's see, The people at the top are a lot of things, But they're not stupid. So what they're doing at this point is they're just going like, Okay, Let's just grab onto as much power and money as we can. So when everything falls apart, Which it's going to, Because it is, That's what's happening. And we have to fall into some new global type system that we're going to be able to be powerful and rich and in control there too. Okay. So that's what their focus is. They're not even playing the game in this reality anymore. They're not even lying to us anymore. They're just like, Whatever, Like you guys go throw your fit and do whatever you want. We're up here just preparing for the, For the next stage. So it's, You know, What we have to do is we have to prepare for the next stage as well. So we have to look very closely and see what works. You know, This is, I talk about spiritual law and universal law and all this stuff and people think it's out there. No, It's, It's, It's what works. It's literally laws that govern the universe. It's how everything works. So if you see something working consistently, It's because it's an alignment with spiritual law. It's an alignment with universal law. That's why it works. Okay. There's a reason why things work. They don't just work. They don't just find something that works and you're like, Wow, I found something that worked. Yeah. Well, Why does it work? If you look underneath, You're going to find it in alignment with a, With a spiritual law or universal law because that's what runs the universe. So so with the positive change, We have to look throughout history to see what has worked. You know, Has war worked? No, Because like, You know, The, The whole idea of fighting for peace, If you fight, Then you should have peace, Which is ridiculous because it's, You, You can't throw violence up against the wall and get love, But people have been trying it for hundreds of thousands of years. So let's look at it. Does it work? Okay. Well, If, If war created peace, We've had tons of war, Wouldn't we be at peace by now? I mean, If it worked, We've been trying it for a hundred thousand years. We've given it enough time. We've got a big enough case study to see if it works. It doesn't work. Why? Because there's still wars going on all over the place. Wars that we don't even know about, You know, Most people. That's what amazes me is like every once in a while, I'll look and just see like how many wars are going on in the world right now. And you know, I haven't looked recently, But the number is amazing that you don't even know that that's, There's not many wars going on. And then how many wars are the United States personally involved in? And you know, I mean, Right now, I think in the last like couple of years, I've looked a couple of times. I think it's, I've seen anywhere between three and seven wars that the United States is personally involved in. It's probably more now, Whatever. So it doesn't work. So what does work? What does work? Let's look at history and find out what works. I'm not making it up. I'm not just throwing stuff out there and go, Listen to what I say, Because this is my perspective. Well, It is my perspective, But my perspective is based on historical fact. So when I look back and I look at large social change that's happened in an area, You know, Like where there was a specific problem, Something transpired, And then that problem was transcended. It no longer exists, Right? It was solved. I'm not saying every problem in the world was solved. I'm not saying, You know, The country has no more problems. I'm saying that there was, The problem was either completely solved or there was huge growth, Like dramatic growth, Much, Much, Much better scenarios than previous. That's what we're looking for. That's how we can figure out what works is by looking to see where progress was made and how was it made and not little progress, Not like, Oh, Well, You know, I don't even know what some of the stuff they say, But like, You know, Some of the stuff they say that is progress is just them throwing us a bone, You know, Like they'll be like, Oh, You know, We're, You know, We really care about the environment. So we're going to put a $10 million into funding the research of electric cars or freaking something, You know, And we're like, Oh, See, We freaking got them to do that. It's like, It doesn't change anything. We're destroying the world in 6 million ways, And you're excited because somebody threw a few bucks, A particular cause just because you like that cause doesn't mean it's actually going to change what's happening in the world. You know, So we got to look at large social change. So, You know, Really what sparked this, This podcast was Panama, You know, And what I would love to say it amazes me, But it doesn't, You know, Very few people are aware of what just happened in Panama. And this is where are we at the beginning of December 2023. If you're listening to this late, Later, You know, Panama got upset, Like the citizens of Panama, The people who lived in Panama, Not the government, The people who live there got really upset, Which I didn't know this before when the Panama Canal went through, Because they felt like they sold their geographical location, Which was a major asset to their country. And it really shook a lot of people a lot. Okay. So that's been stewing and brewing for years, Right? And the people really did not like that. Now, Fast forward to, You know, This year, 2023, And there was a copper mine and they signed a contract with Canada to just make this copper mine gigantic and huge for the next 20 years and blah, Blah, Blah. And the Panamanian citizens were like, The energy reminded them, It's like, Okay, Now you're selling our geological assets, Which is all we have left. And you're putting our country at risk, Like you're stripping it of all kinds of things. You're risking polluting the water that we drink and all the backlash that's going to come from this. In 20 years, We're going to be broke. We're not going to have anything, Any assets left, And we're going to have destroyed our own country by polluting it and destroying what makes it geographically and geologically valuable. We're destroying all that for a profit, And that's not okay. So the Panamanian citizens really band together. Like from what I heard, It was high school students, Which that means, You know, Schools were involved in going, You know, Not punishing kids who didn't go to school, Colleges, Construction companies, All kinds of people who were just out in the streets for weeks. I think they protested for, I don't know, A month, Ballpark, Maybe a little less, Maybe a little more, Maybe even two months. I don't know, But they were protesting for a while. And one of the things that the government did was offer them 75% hike in retirement funds. So they're like, Everybody that's collecting retirement now and in the future is going to get 75% more money. So they're trying to buy the people, Hey, This is going to raise your quality of life while you're retired. Isn't this wonderful? So let us strip your country and you'll personally benefit. Now will you let us strip your country? And they're like, No, No, We don't want you stripping the country. That's the point. You're not going to, We're not going to say, Oh yes, Now that we're personally benefiting, You can strip the country. Do you see? That's an important thing because they're standing on principle and ideology together and they're not allowing themselves to be sold. You know, Right now people aren't standing up yet because their personal world hasn't been shattered enough. Most people I know are angry and disagree. Maybe that's just a better word. Most people disagree with the way their governments are running their countries. Okay. So why isn't anybody doing anything? It's because it's not affecting them on a personal level yet enough. It will. Our eyes are open. We're seeing it. It's clear. It's like, Okay. So people are knowing what's going on and understanding it more and more. We're not exactly where we need to be. Some people still think that like if there's a Democrat in office, Then things will be good or a Republican and things will be good. Like let it go, Man. It's a corrupt system with corrupt people. It doesn't matter if, If the Republicans being in office was going to fix everything, Then everything would have been fixed because we've had Republicans in office before. Things have been getting, You know, You got to look at the big picture because you know, Some people will be like, Oh yeah, But you know, Uh, When the Republicans were in office, This was better and this was better and this was better. Okay. Maybe you're, You know, Maybe you're right in those specific things. I'm talking about taking a step back and looking at the big picture for the last hundred years. We've had very, You know, Going back and forth with the Democrats being in control, The Republicans being in control sometimes with the president, Sometimes with the Congress, You know, All we've had every combination humanly possible in place. And as a general rule, Longterm as a hundred years, Are we better off or worse than we were? We're worse. There's bigger problems. We haven't solved any of the problems that we had a hundred years ago, So we haven't solved anything and, And things are getting worse and our government is getting worse and they're stealing more money and they're lying even more. And so, So it's, It's, It's worse though. The system is corrupt. It doesn't matter who's in the system if the system is corrupt. So once we get through that and stop arguing about stupid things, You know, If it's was somebody said something, It might've been Jerry Garcia had a quote that said something like, You know, Voting for the lesser of two evils all the time is still voting for evil, You know? So, You know, When, When we look at this stuff, We have to, You know, It, It, It really is going to, We can decide to change whenever we decide to change. For some people it's going to be when it starts hitting their pocketbook more and more because that's basically what people base their lives over. Even though they don't want to say it, They don't want to believe it. That's the reality because you obviously like, Look, Look at what I mean by that. I'm not saying it to be a jerk. It's just, I'm saying it because there's truth to it. You can sit there and say the government is lying, Cheating and stealing and not actually go do something. Why? Because when the government does things out of alignment with your personal principles, Your moral values, That's not a big enough deal for you to take action. Otherwise we'd be taking action, You know, And I'm talking about this collectively as a society. It's like this all over the world. So people are not, They are not willing to stand up for their principles. So what will they stand up for? Well, They'll stand up for things once it, Once the lack of principles spills over into their personal life. Well, How will it do that? Well, When you have a lack of principles going on, Eventually what happens is chaos. So and, And the people that are taking all the money and the power, Just take it all. And what does that mean? Then there's, There's less down here. So then it starts hitting your pocketbook. All of a sudden you start wondering if you can feed your kids, You have to sell your house or you know, You have to downsize to one car instead of two. All of a sudden it starts affecting your quality of life. That's when people usually start standing up. And what's that? It's, It's money related. It's just when it starts affecting your quality of life, Which is money related, You know? So, So maybe I'll, I'll, I'll take out the money word because people tend to get defensive. It's quality of life. When it affects your quality of life, Then you're more likely to stand up. Okay. So, So this is, That's probably what's going to happen, But it doesn't have to. It didn't in Panama. And this is why Panama is so important. You notice that, That, Um, Most of you, I would venture to say maybe even 90% of you haven't even heard of Panama. Don't even know what's going on. I haven't seen, I haven't seen one post about it on social media or no, I saw one from my friend that told me about it that lives in Panama, But other than her, I haven't seen anything on the news. I haven't seen anything on social media. I haven't seen anything anywhere about Panama. Why? Because the people are standing up and taking charge. The media isn't going to tell you about that. The government doesn't want you to see that it doesn't, Nobody wants you. The people that are in power and controlling the news, They are completely controlling the news. I have countless examples of stuff I share on my own page and they will not share it if it has something to do with, With, With people standing up for themselves. You know, It just doesn't go into my feed. They just leave it out. Like I can post one thing and if it has, If it's a joke or, Or even something like a picture where they can't, They don't scan it appropriately, It'll go out into my normal feed and I'll get a certain amount of responses, Like at least some in, In, You know, Within the first few hours I put out something like this, I can leave it there for two, Three days. I don't get one comment, Not one like no nothing. It's not going out into my feed. And that's just on social media and you know, The news is completely controlled. So all this stuff, You're not being shown stuff that would help you stand up to your government. Why? Because they don't want you to see it. So, So Panama stood, Stood up and they all band together and they did it through their principles, Right? It was easier for them because they had this, This, This, Um, Huge event with the Panama Canal years ago. That was, That was the groundwork that gave them the ability to stand up to this because they already went through it and did nothing and then lived with that for years and it ate at them. So then when it came back up again, They're like, We are not allowing this again. And they, And they won, You know? So you know, They, They, I think it was like last week, Right at the end of November, Um, They declared the contract with Canada for this, Um, For this mine to be unconstitutional. So, So they won. So, So the mine's gone and I'm so excited about this. I'm so excited because like, You know, I look, I mean, I know I talked about the problems because I'm aware of the problems and, And, And, You know, We, We have to bring them up to the surface. Otherwise, How can we fix them? But the way I walked through life and the things that I really put my, My attention on and my emotions behind is solution, You know, So hope that's what I've been feeding for the last, You know, I, I think COVID was a big help, You know, Really to help me shift my perspective because that's when things really started getting out of control. So like all these things that I used to, That used to capture my, My attention that were wrong with the world, Like all these things, I, I started stepping back because it was so many of them. It was such a problem that I was like getting overwhelmed with emotion and problems going on in the world. It was like, Wow. So I had to take this giant step back and gain some perspective and go, Oh wait, Oh, Oh my God. So it's not that it's not about whether somebody kneels at a football game or it's, It's, It's not about who's in office in a particular party. And it's not about, You know, Whatever else media has been feeding us to keep us separate and arguing. It's not about all that stuff. It's just about keeping us separate and arguing. That's all they don't care what it's about COVID. It doesn't matter. They, As long as they can keep us divided and arguing with each other, Then we never come together. And that's all they want. Because in the background, They're just, You know, Stealing our wallet and helping us look for it. That's all they're doing. So like, So once I saw that, It's like, Do I, Do I still address, You know, Um, Think about and or address some of the little stuff? Sure. I mean, You know, I'm aware of it and address it. I'm talking about some of it today. Um, But you know, Three quarters of my energy is going towards hope. Like what's the future looking? It's going towards creating the future, You know, Where, You know, Why do I think that the future is going to be better? Well, I look around and I find out why, Oh my God, Like people are creating off-grid communities all over the world, Like insane rates, You know, The technology blended with, With nature and the way of growing things has expanded. The things that we can do are amazing on little plots of land. The, The people waking up and seeing this stuff for what it is, Oh my God, That's wonderful. We're finally seeing it instead of getting angry. Like this is something I teach my clients in the microcosm as is the macrocosm, Right? It's the same, It's the same dynamic. So what happens is when people first start waking up spiritually and their eyes start opening and they start seeing the things that they've done wrong in their life, Um, Or why they're not in the place that they want to be. And they start seeing that they were looking at life wrong and they played a part in why like their life is messed up or not the way they want it to be. And a lot of people get stuck there and they're like, Oh no, My God, What was I thinking? I'm such an idiot. And it's like, No, No, No, No. Don't curse the darkness that you used to be in. You're not in it anymore. That's what's more important. It doesn't matter that you didn't know what you didn't know when you didn't know. It doesn't matter. That's in the past. It's history. It can't hurt you now. Now you're in the present and you understand what you were doing wrong. You get excited, Use that to create your future. If you can destroy your past, You can create through your own creation. You know, If you can make all these mistakes and create a crappy life because you didn't know better, Now that you know better, You can create a happy life. So don't get pissed off walking around, Curse on the darkness, Get excited about the light. And this is what we need to do. We need to make that shift. We need to stop getting upset when we see all this crappy stuff going on and be like, Oh my God, Thank God I know now. Because until I knew, I couldn't do anything about it. Now that I know, I see what's going on. It's clear. Okay, Now I can start putting my energy towards the solution, Towards something different, Living a different way. You know, So that's what I've tried to do a lot is put a lot of my energy towards that. Like look for not only in my own life to try to live it, But also to look around the globe and look into things. What are people doing? Let's watch some documentaries, Different ways of thinking, Different ways of living, Healthier food. And like, I don't eat perfectly, But I love watching some healthy food stuff every once in a while, Like some documentaries or stuff, Because I understand what is wrong with the food that is being fed to us. And I understand better ways of eating. And it's like, And half the time I don't even act on it. It doesn't matter. I get it now. I get it. So my awareness is broader. Then I'll make the decision of what I want to implement in my life at a particular time and what I don't, Don't feel like implementing in my life at a particular time, You know, But having the awareness is helpful because you're like, Oh my God, Look at all the knowledge we have. We do have ways of living that are effective. You know, Holy cow, You can build an eco friendly house, Something that's friendlier for the environment and you can build one for, You know, Depending on where you are in the world, Of course, Makes a big difference, But $50, 000, $75, 000. And there's lots of land that you can buy for even in the United States for 10 grand. Like, Are you kidding me? What are we doing? Let's move off grid, You know, You can live off grid. Yeah. So once you start seeing this stuff, It, You don't get so dragged down by the, Oh no, Look at all the problems. Oh no. It's like, No. Oh good. We see the problems now. So now let's focus on a solution. That's what we need to do. You know, So Panama was successful. You know, Their government couldn't get away with it. They had to fight their government and they won huge, Huge victory. Gives us hope for the future. I think maybe because it, You know, It, It just makes sense to me. They had the history of the Panama canal, Really shake them to their core and, And really upset them for, For years. And then when this came, It fed off of that and it gave them the courage to do what they needed to do. And they did it and it was a little smaller country, So maybe it was a little easier to band together. I don't know, But whatever they did it. And now they're a model for the rest of the world. And you're going to start seeing it happen more and more and more. Mark my words, Probably with the smaller countries first, Because the bigger countries, The citizens are more indoctrinated and they are more disempowered than the smaller countries. You know, Like over here, I live in the Dominican Republic and like over here a couple times just in the last three years, You know, I'm driving down the road. One time it was the morning after, And they were still kind of protesting. And then one was like, Like a day or two after, And the protesting was done, But there was still residual stuff. They will like, If the government is, Is blocking things like electricity or water sometimes and stuff like this, If it's affecting them, They'll go to the streets and they literally chop down tree branches and put them across the street. They throw rocks in the road. They light fires. They all protest out in the streets and block off sections, Especially sections of road that get to the major cities. They will specifically block those off and protest. And I've seen, You know, I've personally seen it twice in the last three years, And I believe it's happened more. So like, This is what I mean. Smaller countries, They're affected quicker because the poverty level is lower and they take to the streets quicker. And quite frankly, They have more freedom and it makes a difference, You know, Whereas the bigger countries, It's going to take a while, You know, People think like, What are we going to do? Like the government, We can't stand up to the government. The government has all the guns. Like you're not going to fight them. Like we're not going to fight the government like in a war. We're not like, That's, Of course not, Because you're right. They would kick our ass in about two, Two seconds. We're just going to go, We've got a bunch of guns and we're just going to start shooting you guys to try to take over. The military will just kill everybody and, You know, That'll be over. Not everybody in the country. I mean, Whoever is actually attempting to do that. So this gets us to history, You know, The energy in what does successful social change look like? It looks like the way it's always looked in history, Because what it is, Is it aligns with the right energy. What I mean, What I mean by that is if you look at Gandhi, If you look at Mandela, If you look at Martin Luther King Jr. , What did they all have in common? What did they do differently than other conflict resolution or other societal change movements? What did they do differently? What they did differently is they anchored into a love energy instead of a frustration energy. I'm not saying that they weren't frustrated. I'm not saying that they weren't angry. What I'm saying is when they did their work, When they were having conversations with the other side that was oppressing them, They didn't go in there and start screaming at them and threaten to punch them in the head. It doesn't get anywhere. They didn't threaten them and say, We're going to shoot you or we're going to fight you. They didn't say that. What they did is they preached more passive solutions, Noncompliance. We're just not going to comply. You know, They preached love. They had conversations like, You know, Think about in our personal lives. We argue all the time. We argue with people that have different opinions. Why? Like, Why? It's not going to change them. It's not like I have never changed my opinion on something because somebody screamed at me or called me a moron or told me how stupid or wrong I was. That's not what changes my opinion or anybody else's opinion. All you do is just, Well, They're obviously a jerk. I'm not interested in their thoughts. I'm not interested in their reasoning and I'm not interested in what they have to say. And because your defensive walls are being put up. Why? Because you're being attacked. That's what people do when they get attacked, They defend. So if, You know, If any of these guys went in to their oppressors and was like, We're going to get you, Screw you, You're an asshole. Everything you do is wrong. Like they'd be like, Yeah, Okay. Arrogant meathead, Whatever, Thrown back in jail and it wouldn't have gone anywhere. But if, But that's not the energy they were in. They understood energy, You know, And look at the quotes from these men. They're amazing. You can see the energy in them. I just saw one of my favorite quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. I think this morning, Maybe because I was going to do this podcast. And basically it's, You know, Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that. You know, It's only love can drive out hate. So we're not going to fight our way to peace. We're not going to argue our way into the other side, Seeing our perspective. But we can, But if you're coming from a place of love, See it's self love. It's not love of the other person. It's self love. And when you make decisions out of self love and behave out of self love, What happens is your energy is completely different. And that's why it does something different. Everything is energy, Man. Like hopefully most of you have gotten that piece yet. Everything is energy. So if you want to simplify things, Just think of it in terms of energy. Because it's the truth. Like you can't put anger out and expect to get something good back. And this is why, Like most, Now don't get me wrong. Anger can push us to make movement. So like sometimes we can use anger to get ourselves motivated to take action sometimes. You know, Different, I'm not saying anger is bad. I mean, It ain't good. It's negative. Right. But it can serve purposes. But what I'm saying is most often like, You know, Just in our personal lives, Because the macrocosm is the same as the microcosm. In your personal life, If you have a problem with somebody and you go, You're a big pain in my ass and I'm sick of this crap and I'm not putting up with your BS anymore and yeah, And you yell and it's all that type of stuff, Right? That's frustration, Right? Have you ever had an experience where somebody went, Yeah, Yeah, You're right. I think I think I'm going to change everything. I've never had that experience. I've never had that experience. Now, Don't get me wrong. Like sometimes you can if like, Like let's say you you you're in a marriage where you really love each other and you and you get pushed to to a level of frustration and you blow a gasket and then your partner comes back later and says, Listen, I see that you're really upset. I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was doing this. I'm going to change. Of course that type of stuff can happen. But that's when you're in like a relationship with somebody else that actually cares about what happens. You know, It's not like it's not like you're dealing with an oppressor. Like an oppressor will never change. Like if you you could blow a gasket with an oppressor that even if it's in like a relationship dynamic, They're not going to change for that. I mean, If they're scared, They might you're going to leave them. They might like adjust their behavior a little just to appease you, But they're not going to stop oppressing you. So it's not going to stop oppression. It's this love energy. So when it comes to self-love and then you know your own value, You're just like, I'm just not going to comply and just know, You know, We as a group aren't going to comply. It's just it's unacceptable. You know, I'm thinking of. Of Gandhi. At this point, And you know, No, We're just not going to comply. And you know, And the government's going like, Well, What do you want from us? You out. That's what we want. Well, That's not going to happen. Yeah, Well, You can't control us. What's the point in having a country? The whole point of control of having a country is to control its inhabitants. That's so that's the whole point of owning a country. You know, Like because you like why does one country try to conquer another country to take over more land, Right, And more people? Why? Well, Because they make more money that way. That's why. You know, So then they can buy more, You know, They can make more nuclear weapons to defend themselves and they can build a bigger army to defend themselves against something that's going to come try to take it. And and you know, They can they can have more riches funneling upward. I mean, It's just you know, They get something out of it. Otherwise. Otherwise, Everybody would keep to themselves. If you just kept to yourself, You'd be fine. So if people are if countries aren't keeping themselves and they're trying to take over other countries, That means they want something that that country has and they have to control the people to get it. Right. So. So, I mean, It's all about control. If you can't control the people, Then you can't create a system that funnels money and power upward because they're not willing to give you their money or do what you say. So you can't control. You can't control them, You see. So like when you just anchor in love and just be like, No, And you don't have to be angry about it. No. Screw you. No, That's anger. Just know I'm not living like this. I'm not living like this. We're not living like this. Now, What you do is unacceptable. So like you can go do what you do, But you can't do it here. Why? Because this is our place. That's why this is our place. And you little people at the top don't get to tell us what to do. You work for us. We do not work for you. See, That's the problem right now. Dynamic is backwards. We are living in the best interest of the government. The government is not living in the best interest of its people. And the government is supposed to be living in the best interest of people. But it's not going to do that when when they can do whatever the hell they want and their lives keep getting better and better and better, And they keep getting more power and more control. And then and we're just sitting by not doing anything like what. Why would they stop? Why would they? Would you? Would you? I mean, If you were living a certain way and just everything you did, Every time you touch something, It turned to gold. Would you be like, Oh, My God, Get this off my finger. My life keeps getting better whenever I touch things. Oh, My God, I have to stop this somehow. Of course not. You're like, This is great. Every time I touch something, My life gets better. I'm going to keep touching stuff. Right. So this is why they're not going to stop. We have to stop them. And we have to stop them by just going. No, You don't get to do that with us. Why? Because you can't control us. We're just going to say no. That's it. That's it. That's what worked with Gandhi. That's what worked with Mandela. That's what worked with Obama. That's what worked with Trump. That's what worked with Obama. That's what worked with Obama. That's what worked with Trump. That's what worked with Obama. That's what worked with Obama. That's what worked with Obama. That's it. That's it. That's what worked with Gandhi. That's what worked with Mandela. That's what worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. You know, Martin Luther King, Jr. Wasn't as quite as obvious if you haven't really looked into him. But really, If you look into the quotes that he said, The words, The meaning underneath the words, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, If you look into the dynamics that, You know, How he interacted with the oppressor, I mean, We, You know, I know that there's still racism issues. I'm not saying that there's not, But what I'm saying is like, We went from like, I mean, Huge racism issues to having a black president. I'm not saying that there's not, But what I'm saying is like, We went from like, I mean, Huge racism issues to having a black president. I'm not saying that there's not, But what I'm saying is like, We went from like, I mean, Huge racism issues to having a black president. I'm not saying that there's not, But what I'm saying is like, We went from like, I mean, Huge racism issues to having a black president. I'm not saying that there's not, But what I'm saying is like, We went from like, I mean, Huge racism issues to having a black president. That's a big step up. That's a big growth. That's a big shift in consciousness. Like there's been enormous amounts of ground made, Not saying we're at the promised land. Yeah. You know, There's, There's obviously still problems in that area. However, You know, Where things were and where they are now is, Is a dramatic shift. I mean, And I think it's actually taken a nosedive in the last, What, 10 years or so race race relations. They seem to have gotten worse. I don't know if that's true or not, Because you know, All you can, You kind of at the mercy of the media to some degree, Right? What's the media report on while they're trying to divide us. So there were every time that there's a racial problem, They blow it up as big as they possibly can. And it's like this, You know, There were still racial problems before, But they weren't trying to blow them up so much, You know? So it's like, So are things actually worse now? That's debatable. You know, Quite honestly, I don't, You know, I, I, The thing that I can say is that there are still racial issues out there. Fact, You know, I don't think anybody can debate that whether it's worse now than it was 10 years ago or 20 years ago. I don't know. That's, That's debatable, But it's the energy in which they did things. They weren't going and arguing with their oppressor. They were just, And they weren't trying to play cards that they don't have. You see that that that's what, That's why we have to be clear. One of the things that, That, That captures my attention is like when people are talking about something good and they go too far with it and they lose all credibility when, When they talk like that, Because it's like, Ah, You just like, You've got good intentions. You know, It's like, Um, Let me try to think of an example. Well, I mean, It's people do with almost anything, I guess. I can't come up with a specific example, But, But like, Um, Let's, Let's just, I'll try to use COVID and I'll try to come up with a example with COVID. So like with COVID, If, If, If people, You know, People like, Uh, Let's say it's a, It's, I'll go with the anti-vaxxers. Okay. Cause most people are probably expecting me to go with the vaxxers. So like when the anti-vaxxers are going like, Oh yeah, Vaccination is wrong and they shouldn't force us to do it and all that stuff. And then they go, There are, You know, There are cameras and tracking devices in the vaccine. Most of the time, Like they don't know that to be true. So you know, Like there's no proof, I think it might be happening. Maybe it's true, But they don't have any proof that it's true. So it's, So that's when you go too far and you lose people. Right? That, That's what's difficult is, Is when you lose people because you're just trying to make a point and you're going too far with it. It's just, If you don't want people telling you what to do with your body, Just don't allow people to tell you what to do with your body. Like that, That's enough. We don't have to blow it out of proportion. And I don't know if this freaking cameras are tracking devices in there or not. I mean, Maybe there would be, It doesn't matter is my point is the fact is, Is you can't, You can't prove it. Like, So don't say it. Why? Because it hammers your credibility because people might be with you when you say, Um, I, They shouldn't be able to make me do something to my body. Most people could hop on that train and then you go because they have cameras and you can't prove it. And it's like, Oh man, Now you sound like a crazy person and you just lost half the people and you might not be crazy. There might be cameras in there, But you can't say that because you don't have the proof. So you, You sound crazy, You know, This is what I mean. So when you're, When you're factual and you're in that love energy, You think a lot more clearly and you don't blow it out of proportion. You don't go in there and say, You know, Oh, We're gonna, We're gonna tear down the, The, The capital. We're going to go tear down the capital because you're the government. It's not doing what they, What you want us to do. No, You're not. No, You're not like the, The, They have military there. They'll stop you. You're not going to do that. So don't throw empty threats because you're upset. That's what happens when people are upset and when they're not calm and thinking clearly, That's where the problems arise because it's fueled with anger and frustration and that spills out in non-thinking ways. Why? Because your brain closes off when you're in that anger energy because it's stress and stress actually takes the blood supply from your brain and shoves it to the major organ so you can fight or flee. So you literally can't think as well when you're angry, When you're calm and anchored in self-love, You know, It's not, Oh, We're going to do this. It's like, No, We just won't. We just won't allow you. When you tell us to do stuff, You can tell us to do, See, This is the dynamic that's so beautiful. This is how it's alignment with spiritual law is people have the right to say whatever they want to you. You know, Everybody gets offended by everything today. Who cares, Man? People can say you have to stand on one leg and jump up, Up and down for 24 hours straight or else you're a jerk. People have the right to say that to you. You don't have to get upset about it. You just go, No, I'd rather not. Thanks. Have a good day and move on with your life. You don't have to defend it. They don't actually have the power to make you do that. This is why, You know, Like Christmas is coming and people, You know, We get another year of going, Oh, People are taking the Christ out of Christmas. Oh, You can't say Merry Christmas anymore. Oh, The world's, You know, The immoral decay. What? What do you mean? If you want to say Merry Christmas, Say Merry Christmas, Who gives a crap? Nobody has a right to come into your life and tell you, Oh yeah, But they'll say, Hey, You shouldn't say that. You should say happy holidays. So why is that a problem? It's so silly. It's so silly. People get so upset that somebody doesn't agree with a word that they said. Why do we think that we're supposed to, I've asked this question a million times. Why do we think we're supposed to agree with one another all the time about everything all of a sudden? I don't know where this delusion came from, But it ain't true. Like if somebody, If I say, You know, If I dropped the F bomb and somebody says spiritual people shouldn't drop the F bomb, Okay, It's sorry you feel that way. I don't, I don't care. You can truly believe that. You can truly believe that people who dropped the F bomb are not spiritual. Cool. It's fine. I disagree. I'll be over here swearing. Have a great day. So when we're anchored in self love, This stuff doesn't knock us. It's just like it's inconsequential because nobody has power over us, Including the government. They can't tell you what to do. You can just sit there and go, No, You can, You know, You got to use your head with some stuff. You know, Sometimes there are laws and, And you might want to stand up in a group against a certain scenario instead of standing alone. And then, You know, But even that is on the rise. That's a whole nother topic about sovereignty and stuff like that. So, But it's about love, Energy, Noncompliance. If they can't control us, They're going to cave because they have no other choice. Like if we take control and they say, No, What you're doing here is unacceptable, Eventually they will cave to our demands. Why? Because if they cave to our demands, They can still control us to some degree and still steal some trillions of dollars. That's why they'll let us cave. If they don't, Then they're just losing, You know, Probably billions to trillions of dollars a day by us standing up and rebelling against them and saying, No, We won't comply. You know how much money they lose every day when it's people, You know, It's citizens aren't complying. They're not going to work. They're not making money. They're not doing things. They're out protesting. Nothing can get done. The streets are packed. Nobody can go anywhere. Like the money, The money isn't flowing because the country isn't functioning. So that's, That's why they cave, You know, Because eventually they're like, This is costing us trillions. If we just cave, Okay, Yeah, We'll, We'll, We'll lose a couple trillion, But we'll still be able to take, You know, At least 1 trillion a week. Right now we're getting nothing, You know? So we, We, We do have the power because we are the ones that feed all the money. Like it's where do you think the government gets their money? Like, Do you think that they have a bunch of money? No, They get it from us. That's where they get it. It should, We are a nonstop food chain of money going up. So if we stop and go, No, They start panicking, Right? So understand the dynamics. It's got to come from love, Anchor into the reality that we don't have to do what they're telling us. And, And this has worked in the past, You know, Look into Panama, Look into Gandhi, Look into Mandela, Look into MLK Jr. Even if it's just Googling their quotes and look for the deeper meaning on the day, Look for the love energy in there, As opposed to the aggression and the attacking and the frustration energy. They didn't come at it. And I'm not saying, You know, I said this before, I'm not saying that they weren't frustrated. I'm saying that their movement, How they actually accomplish something, The energy in which they moved forward was based out of love, Love of themselves, Love of their, Their fellow human beings, That just noncompliance, Love. This is unacceptable. We're not going to be treated this way. That's it. That's what causes successful social change. Use, You know, Use history fighting doesn't affect proper, Successful social change. Love does. So anchor into that love of self, Love of humanity, Start looking for people who are doing the right things. And I'll tell you, You will get motivated. Like I'm when, When I see all the people doing the right things in this world, I get so excited about our future because it is like, I've been living like this for 20 years. And I'm telling you, Like, I find new ways and get more excited. There is so much good going on in a grassroots level. You just have to look for it because the media and the government is not going to tell us about it. Like look at Panama, For example, That's a pretty big fricking deal. And most people don't even know about that. There's tons of things that are going on on grassroots levels all over the world that are like that energetically. We are creating places for people to live that are off grid that don't feed into the system. We, I mean, Just as so much we have going on, It's awesome. So, You know, Feed that, Look into it, Put your attention on it, Learn about it. That's really, That's all you need to do. And you start shifting your energy and you start getting more hopeful. And it's like, Wow, Wow. And as the more people feel hopeful and empowered on this level, That's where our change is going to come from. All right. So I got to fly. Thanks for listening there, Buddy. Talk with you soon. Peace.
