There's an instinctive humanity in each of us,
An instinctive maleness,
An instinctive femaleness,
And I feel it's really connected to Mother Nature.
It's like,
You know,
We're part of Mother Nature and that simplest instinctive part of us most expresses her.
And maybe we're getting too far away from our instinctive natures.
We're getting so educated and that's good,
You know,
It's good.
But if we're numbing out,
You know,
If our culture is making us numb out,
Become numb to the level of Mother Nature within us,
We're going to have trouble.
And I think that's what's happening.
So in the outer world,
Mother Nature is screaming and inside us I feel our true nature is sort of just the instinctive nature within human beings is distressed but we might be too numb to even feel it.
And I think this is part of why we're getting mental illness.
It's sort of like we're not allowed to continue this way.
So if we're,
You know,
Running from our instinctive natures and maybe our connection to our true nature,
We're going to experience mental difficulty that will only be solved as this culture understands that we are each part of Mother Nature.
We have an instinctive component to our personalities and any training or culture needs to include that,
Not forbid it or,
You know,
Treat humans as if we're some machines because we're not.
You know,
They say that our educational system actually arose to create workers for the factories in the industrial,
The beginning of the industrial era.
And I think we are still kind of going along in this mechanistic way and meanwhile Mother Nature's screaming and there's this mental illness epidemic and just general unhappiness.
And I want to give you a solution,
Okay?
So the solution is to just decide to become more present,
More in touch with your thoughts and feelings and more able to feel your emotions to to just be with them.
Many of us just we very quickly run from them or we distract ourselves or even repress them.
I don't see any hope for our current situation until we start to really embrace our humanity and embrace our instinctive natures which would give us a great deal of information about how to help ourselves and how to achieve a balance with Mother Nature as opposed to this,
You know,
Exploiting of her that we do.
Because we don't just exploit Mother Nature,
We exploit each other and we exploit ourselves.
Like I had so many young women come and they'll talk about,
You know,
What career they want to go into and or you know how they could earn their living and they talk about,
You know,
Their talents and that they could do this,
They could,
You know,
Develop that talent and develop this.
And I always get the feeling of a kind of exploiting energy as they speak about themselves and it's just what they've learned.
Do you know the therapist spells the rapist?
So it's shocking but basically,
You know,
This signals that the solutions to our problems are not gonna come from our intellect,
They're gonna come from our hearts and our instinctive natures.
So just decide maybe,
You know,
Just decide.
You can choose to be more in touch with yourself and I'll tell you that a lot of information comes and some of it's uncomfortable but if you just are with it and especially if you turn and develop a relationship with the divine,
You will just start to develop as a human being in ways that you couldn't imagine and the talents and capacities that,
You know,
Occur within you as you allow yourself to blossom into a full human being,
They're off the charts and and there's a peace and happiness that comes.
Okay,
You know,
There is a solution,
There is a way out of this mess that we're in but we're gonna have to change.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
