Good morning, welcome everyone. Thank you for joining this session for the course BC205, which is about the keys to supernatural ministry. We will begin with the word of prayer as we generally do. Let me pray. Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity to learn your word. Father, we pray you will minister to our hearts by the Holy Spirit Lord. Yes, Lord, let the Holy Spirit bring revelation of the word of God and the power of God in our lives. And God, we pray, Lord, that you will strengthen us in all that you want us to be and all that you want us to do, especially Lord, in the area of your supernatural work, Father God.  In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Alright, so welcome each one of you. In the last class, we took some time to discuss about the supernatural and we were asking, what is the supernatural? And then we said, are there any hindrances for us to walk in the supernatural? And even today, we'll just have a short discussion. And the question that I want to ask us is, are there any objections to the supernatural? I know we talked about it last time, but let's begin here and then I will move ahead. Hopefully, we'll also touch on the first section today, the first section as in your notes, the possibility of a supernatural life and ministry. We'll touch upon that. But let's begin by answering the question, are there common objections to supernatural ministry? What are those objections? And, you know, we'll see how we can address or explain when people object in these ways. Yeah, so yeah, people's opinions, why do people say certain things about the supernatural? And then, yeah, why they don't believe? Okay, okay. So some only believe that it is for the early church and no longer, you know, functions. So, okay, that's one objection that people could have. Any other objections? Okay. Yeah, you can bring, but go ahead, you can keep sharing. Okay. I was also like, why in the day, in the last 90 minutes, because really, we're asking too much. Okay. So, people find it hard to accept when certain churches focus on the supernatural and they teach about the supernatural, they want people to expect the supernatural to happen. Yeah, there is a hesitation, right? So yeah, that can also be a limitation. Yeah, please. It's a different thing when you already taken the medicine then praying to get that's fine, because you already put in the work, but when you're not doing the thing that's already there, you're not taking the medicine that's offered to describe it. And you're saying that, no, I'll do it, like this only. I think that's where people get confused as to should you go supernatural or just depend on the practical matter. Okay. So when people have this mindset about one or the other, so only the practical aspects or only the supernatural, then there can be, you know, some function and it can even cause a lot of problems when, you know, people try to focus on either of the two. Fine, I get that, Sean. I get that. Then people have a problem and they say, don't go and listen to all these supernatural healing and things. Otherwise, you will. Some just may like only focus on supernatural or these people might attend one service and they might have only supernatural things happening. So from that, as I've said, I think the only pre supernatural, you don't preach any other thing. So they think it's supernatural rated church, something like that. But they don't give, they don't give like a proper chance at church, like let them hear what they're actually saying. They can't just like assume this is what the church is after once. So you have to go there two, three times. So someone may think that these people only focus on supernatural and focus on other things. That's the main thing. That's essentially the balance of these two things come to supernatural and comes to ministry. I think that's where people need to learn like where to draw the line and how people view that. Okay. So the balance of practical and supernatural, that could be an objection. Sure. Anything else? Okay. Yes. Yes. Okay. Fine. So people have a certain expectations about what the supernatural should look like. But in what you shared it, it's more like, you know, if people are expecting something instantaneous to happen, that is supernatural. There's no objection to the supernatural. They are expecting the supernatural to take place. But yeah, I think I understand where you're coming from. Okay. Sure. Okay. So these are all like the common objectives, objections to the supernatural ministry. And you see, as we've been stating in our last discussion, though people may have all these comments, we have to look at what the Bible says, because that is our standard. Okay. Now, a lot of what is being told, does it have basis in scripture? That's a question that any student of the Bible has to ask, if there is a basis in the Bible, and you know, it's interpreted in the right way, we have every reason to receive it. So last time I discussed from that book, ministering healing and deliverance, a few biblical reasons. Okay. Why the supernatural exists and why, you know, miracles, healings, deliverances are important as far as even ministry is concerned. So when we pray for people, we teach the word, but in Acts chapter one, Luke writes, you know, an account of Jesus, all that he taught and did. So as much as we talk about teaching, there is also the doing, we can't separate the two. So in the ministry of Jesus, it was not just him teaching, there are a lot of good sermons or insights, revelations that we can take from what Jesus spoke. But in all the gospels, you also read about all that he did. He healed people. He worked miracles. He cast out demons. That's very much a part of his ministry. So if that is not important, I don't think in that limited three years, three and a half years that Jesus had, he would not have focused on miracles at all. He would have just focused on teaching. Let me download all the teaching, three and a half years. I have limited time, give them all the teaching and that will help them know God better. But he taught as well as did. So there is an importance which he himself gave for the work of God, the power of God through his life. And we were saying in the last class that few biblical reasons, why we must minister the supernatural is because the supernatural reveals the reality and the nature of God. And I shared with us how God revealed himself as Jehovah Rafa and how he continued to keep the people well, the Israelites through the wilderness. And even in Egypt, God protected them, miracles took place. You look at Moses and the way Moses led God's people, so many signs, wonders, because that's God. God was revealing himself. He was revealing his nature through what he was doing in people's lives. And in the same manner, even in the New Testament, we see God revealing himself through the mighty works that take place. Now miracles reveal God's greatness. When we look at John chapter two, when Jesus turned water into wine, was that the only way that he could have solved the problem? Maybe they could have solved the problem by wisdom. Wisdom would say wine is over, send some people to buy some wine. But in John chapter two, the moment there is a crisis, God chooses to reveal his greatness. What is the greatness? Turning water into wine, which is an impossibility. And as you read John chapter two, the end of that incident, it says this is how Jesus began to reveal the glory. So that miracle is described as revealing the glory of God because the moment something like that happened, people were amazed and they were like, only God can do this. How can water turn into wine? How can something impossible happen? How and you know, water turning into wine is also like a restoration because some things take so long to happen. But without anything, you know, God found something so amazing and beautiful. So it gives us so much hope that this is the God we serve. Even time is not a limitation for him. Things that we feel, ah, it's anyway going to take so long. It took a minute. He could do it. So Jesus revealed his glory. God likes to show off his greatness. Even when it came to, you know, the Old Testament, if he wanted to lead the people to the promised land, what is the need to part the Red Sea? Just to show them which way to go. They could have taken the right route and gone. Joshua leading the people. What is the need to bring down a wall? Just show them the way they'll go. But you find that our God is a miracle working God. He loves to work miracles for the purpose that we will understand the greatness of God. Okay. So it's his nature. It's just his nature. We can't tell him that, hey, God, don't you have another way to show your greatness? When he's choosing to show his greatness through the miracles, the wonders that he does, then miracles demonstrate God's compassion. So many times in the Bible, we read that Jesus looked at the multitudes. They were like sheep without a shepherd. He was moved with compassion and he healed them. So when healings take place in someone's life, it's really the compassion of God touching them. Like I remember in my own life, I was very sick. I think it was post college and I had holidays only, but I was sick for many, many days and fever and this and I just couldn't get up. And there was this one uncle who used to come near our home, very elderly person. He'd just visit different families and used to spend his time visiting families. He had come to my house and my parents told him that she's not well and she's in that room. She's sleeping. I cannot forget. It had been so many days and I was feeling so weak. This elderly uncle, I don't even know him. He came, he prayed a short prayer and he went, but from that moment I was fine. I just, the strength came back, the fever left. So I was like, this is real. Like how, how did this happen? This man prayed one prayer and my fever's gone and I recovered.  Nobody wants to be sick, right? So I didn't want to be sick and it really showed me God's love when he touched, you know, my body and I was just fine. After that, I was really happy.  Nobody wants to be sick and, you know, go through discomfort, pain, difficulty, but that's what Jesus did. Whenever he saw somebody sick, mute, blind, deaf, God's compassion. So when healings take place, what does it show about God?  I don't want you to go through this. So it reveals God's compassion and that's how even Jesus, you know, really worked through his ministry. So it demonstrates God's love and compassion to us. Miracles have a powerful effect on the people, okay, especially those who do not believe. So when people saw Jesus working miracles, many of them turned to God. Many of them started believing in God. Yes, there was a different reaction also. There were people who were questioning, who were skeptical. We also read that people followed him for the sake of the miracles. There was, there were both kinds of reactions, but we cannot deny the fact that when miracles happen, people were drawn to God. People were drawn to the greatness of God. You know, imagine, think with me, if we lived in Jesus's times and we were walking with Jesus, every day something is happening, right? One day water is turning into wine, one day food is multiplying, one day he's walking on the water, one day he's calling Lazarus out of the grave. You'd be like, wow, this is too much. I can't take it. Every day something is happening with Jesus and it would make us wonder, what is this? Who is this Jesus? What is he about? How is he doing these things? We may want to spend more time with him and, you know, listen to all his sermons. Like if he had his resources, website, we'll go full-time, right? All the audio books finish off because I want to know what is this person doing? It really triggers our interest, okay? So even in scripture, that's how when people experienced miracles, they were drawn to Jesus. It is said, even the woman out of whom Jesus cast out many demon spirits, she became a disciple of Jesus. So many people that Jesus worked, you know, in their lives, like even the woman that he met at the well, the Samaritan woman, he moves by the gift of prophecy and he tells her, no, you're not telling me the full truth. You're not married, you're living with someone. She goes and tells the whole village that this man told me everything based on what? The supernatural. How did this man know about me? She goes and tells the whole village and she is interested in this man, Jesus, and she wants the whole village to know that he's come, you know? Looks like the Messiah. He's come, come and know more about him. So miracles have this ability or effect, powerful effect on people to draw them closer to God, especially those who do not believe. Anyway, we'll go into details and all later, examples later, but I'm sure you know how this works, isn't it? Like somebody who doesn't believe at all, a prophetic word spoken to them or you pray for them and they get healed, they'll be like, when is your church service? I want to come. You know, I want to attend because I want to know more about this God. So they trigger that interest in those who don't believe. Miracles are something that Jesus gave a lot of importance to. So if it is like, you know, one or the other, then either you focus only on the word or you focus only on the supernatural. You know, one is replacing the other. It doesn't work like that. Both are going together hand in hand. Okay. And we find that Jesus gave a lot of importance to miracles. And in the last class also I had mentioned, I think it was in Matthew 11, where Jesus tells John, John's disciples are questioning. Once John is in the prison, is he really the Messiah? Think about John. He, in front of everybody, he said, behold, the Lamb of God and he baptized Jesus and all. Now finally, Jesus did not become a political figure. He did not restore the kingdom. John must have thought, I thought you're going to take charge, Jesus. You're not taking charge. Are you really the Messiah? He's wandering in the prison. Did I make a mistake? Even John the Baptist is getting confused. But at that point, you know, Jesus does this when the disciples come and they ask Jesus, you know, John is doubting, are you the Messiah? He does not even say one word. What does Jesus do in Matthew 11 versus one to six? He starts, you know, he heals, he delivers, he does all the miraculous works and he tells the disciples, go and tell John what you saw. That's all. He didn't give them any sermon. No explanation. So what does it tell us? It tells us that something that reveals that Christ is the Messiah miracles. Okay, that's why Jesus never explained himself. He just did the miracles and said, just go tell John. If you can't believe this, then I don't know, you know. So many places you find that Jesus did that. There are some references in John 5 versus 31 to 36 where Jesus himself, he states that the miracles that I do are more important than the testimony of John the Baptist. More than, see, in those days, if John was the most regarded man of God, whatever John said, people would believe. Right? So then God could have used only the testimony of John to make people believe. But in John chapter 5 versus 31 to 36, Jesus said, the miracles that I do, you know, they testify of me and that, you know, they are greater than the testimony of John the Baptist. So when Jesus is saying that and we say, oh, we don't want miracles, we don't want the supernatural, we are hindering the testimony that God wants to give of himself. Okay, you cannot separate the two.  If he's placing importance, how can we say that? Hey, forget about the miracles, just have a deep relationship with God. How can we make that statement when Jesus is saying, it's a part of me, you know, the supernatural, the miracles, even greater than the testimony of John are these miracles that you see. There were people who questioned Jesus, are you really the Messiah? In giving them the answers, this is in John chapter 10. Okay, I'm not going through the passage, but I'm giving you the references so that you can go back and read it and study it. So John chapter 10, you can read from verse 24 onwards, still about, you know, or just read, verse 24, 25, verse 37 and 38. Can somebody read it now? I think it'll help. Yeah, 24, 25, then 37, 38. The Jews gathered around him, saying, how long you keep in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. The miracles that I do in my father's name speak of me, meaning they're giving testimony to who I am. 37, 37 verse. Okay, wow, that sounds pretty controversial. Can you repeat that? Can you please repeat that? Oh, you can't hear. Oh, okay, I won't mute then. I thought I should mute. I don't have to mute. Okay, sorry about that. Yeah, now let him read. Yeah. John chapter 10 verse 37. Do not believe in me unless I do what my father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles that you may know and understand that father is in me and I in the father. Okay, so it's quite, you know, clear. He's saying, don't believe me if I don't do my father's works. So if Jesus was only teaching and he never did any miracles, what is he saying? Don't believe me. Is it like Jesus saying this because don't believe in me unless you, I do the father's works because in the Old Testament, God always, you know, did science wonders and miracles and showed himself to refer that. Okay, because, you know, referring that point here could be, because see, God's nature doesn't change, no? Yeah. The way he was in the Old Testament, you see something similar happening through the life of Jesus. And we also know like the book of Hebrews, Hebrews one verse three, it says that Jesus is the express image of God and the fact that Jesus came to reveal the father. Yeah. So how to reveal the father without the works. So the works are very much who the father is. And that is why he's saying, if I don't know the father's works, just don't believe me. And later he's saying, even if you don't believe me, wow, that's scary. Like how can Jesus say, don't believe me? But he's giving an option like even if you don't believe me, believe the works. Right. Ah, so then it is telling us something about how God views, we term these miracles and all as the father's works. Even good deeds, you know, righteous deeds are also part of the father's works. But the point that Jesus is making here is that the works of power or the supernatural works, the father's works, they are speaking about the father. You believe them because nobody else can do it. Only God can do it. And you know, God reveals himself through that. So these are all passages that are just like, you know, speaking so clearly to us about the importance that God has placed on miracles. Okay. And one more passage could be in John chapter 14, verses 8 through 11, where the disciples, they question Jesus, they question about the father to Jesus. And the Lord Jesus points to the supernatural works that he's doing. And he also reminds them, we all know the, later on, John chapter 14 verse 12, you shall do greater works than these. So talking about the father's works, you know, he explains to them and later he also includes us and he says, you will also do greater works than these. So in this way, Jesus was also pointing to miracles. So when we say that the supernatural is not part of what God wants to do, what about, there are four passages, at least, where quite clearly he's saying that you got to believe in these miracles because they are testifying of me. Okay. So this is also another reason why we must give importance to miracles and, you know, we shouldn't just disregard them. Okay. All right. Yeah. We can look at three more reasons. The kingdom of God comes with power. So that's how God's kingdom works. Okay, we will come to that later. But you see instances, like for example, in Matthew chapter 12, you find a person who is oppressed by a demon spirit, the demon goes and that person is free and people start to ask Jesus, how, how do you do it? And then, you know, he says, I did it. It happened by the power of the Spirit, by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Okay. So when the kingdom of God is demonstrated, you find a connection with the supernatural. So that's what Jesus said. This miracle has happened, this deliverance has happened, the kingdom has come upon you. So how does the kingdom come? The kingdom comes with power. So even when Jesus came, he said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me and, you know, and that whole narration, right? So he says, but in that, he says, the captives will be set free and what? Heal the broken hearted, the good news will be preached to the poor. So he said all that. And then you see his three and a half years of ministry, right? So a part of what he was saying is all these miracles. In this way, he ministered to the poor, he ministered to the captives, you know, he ministered to the broken hearted by doing supernatural works. So the kingdom of God came upon the people. How did it come? It came with power. Same way. If you look at the book of Acts, you'll study that in your third year. You'll find that the believers, the apostles, wherever they went, there were signs, wonders, miracles, healings, deliverances, and, you know, people started believing, believing communities were birthed in, you know, city after city, village after village. It was a part of their lifestyle, the supernatural. Okay. So these are all things that we can consider because it's in the Bible. And, you know, we must not base our faith on anything else. Now, moving on, two more reasons, you know, why we must give attention to the supernatural is that the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs on Mark chapter 16. We know the Lord Jesus, as he commissioned the disciples, that's what he said, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper. Okay. So what are these, these activities? The supernatural. Okay. So we have been commissioned to walk in the supernatural. So if I am a believer and I am not in these things, somewhere, what Jesus said as a commission, I'm missing out. Okay. He obviously said it to all his disciples, all who are going to follow him, heal the sick, cleanse the leper, raise the dead. And these signs shall follow those who believe in my name, they will cast out demons, right? And then speak in new tongues. If they drink anything poisonous, it will not affect them. So these are all the signs, miracles that he talked about and said, if people believe in me, this will be a part of their life. So the supernatural, the kingdom of God comes with power and the gospel is also preached with accompanying signs and miracles encourage people to believe for more of the supernatural. So when something takes place in our lives, the supernatural, as I gave you that example, right, like of when I got healed, it really sparked an interest in me. I was like, how can I do this? Like if I pray for someone, will they be healed? Or every time I had any other health issues, just started praying on myself or myself, because I want to see more. It's already in the Bible that much I know, but it needs to manifest. How can it manifest? So which is what our course is all about? What are the keys to the supernatural? Is the supernatural in the life of Jesus? Yes. Was it there in the ministry of Jesus? Yes. Did he point to it? Did he say it's important? Yes. We don't have any doubts about it. It is there in the Bible. But the question we are asking is, if he said that these signs will follow those who believe, why is it not following? What are the keys to that? We want to understand. What do you think? What do you think? Why are we not manifesting? Okay. We don't have exposure. Okay. Yes. Faith. We are lacking faith for the supernatural. Okay. Micah. Before, in those times, we didn't have advanced medicines or various things like that. But this day and age, we have many advanced medicines. Or anything that can even treat, almost can treat cancer patients get better. This is what has come to this age. So when it comes to this age, of course, we will be more inclined to go for that. And what I'm saying is, in those times, people didn't have much an option over there, to get healed. But now we have many options like this. We have medical insurance. We have medical insurance like all this. So of course, when that happens, when it comes to miracles and wonders, we'll be less because we won't have that much faith. The faith that people had before when these were doing miracles and wonders then to compare to now is very different, is what I'm trying to say. Okay. See, you've made a statement. Okay. All I'm saying is, how much can we substantiate through scripture? So we are saying that because medicine is advanced. Now, I would not say that in those times, medicine was not available. Medicine was still there. And if you ask me, I find it amazing that Luke, a physician, wrote Acts of the Apostles. And he's talking about healings, this, that, something, everything. Luke is a doctor. Okay. And he has witnessed during his time, even things like fever leaving towards the end of the book of Luke, when Paul is in an island, fever leaves one of the leaders there. So I don't think God was doing miracles at that time because they didn't have medicines, because there is no such clear mention in scripture about that. They had medicines, but still, you know, we've seen so many scriptures that say that God chose to reveal himself. For example, even that Kena incident of water turning into wine. I'm just thinking with you, Sean. Okay. I'm not trying to put down your comment in any way. It was not like there was no wine. If there's no wine, then the logical thing is to go buy wine. But Jesus did a miracle and scriptures say that he revealed his glory. God likes to show off his greatness, know whether medicine exists or it doesn't exist. Like, or we could say, suppose, you know, because medicines are there, God won't do miracles. Okay. Then maybe God should only be healing complicated conditions. Why are fevers getting healed? Like, at least in my case, I got healed of a fever, or I could have just got a prophetic word about take a parasitum wall or something like that, right? But my fever got healed. Meaning, for God, it's not so much about, you know, how big the situation is, how small, but it's to express his love to, for me, that fever may be a very big deal, right? So the compassion of God. So the point I'm making is, it's not so much about, you know, the existence of medicines or non-existence of medicines, but God does do these miracles, despite medicines existing. Okay.  Yeah.  When it comes to us, when we are doing that, we do, when we heal someone or when we administer healing and stuff, we do it from our faith. But what about that person? Does that matter is what I'm asking you? That person believes, doesn't believe. So we'll come to one of the chapters which talks about faith. To answer in a short way, our faith is what matters the most. So if I don't carry faith as a minister, then my prayers may not see results. Okay. But having said that, there are times when God moves sovereignly, for example, there is a, you know, paralyzed man at the pool of Bethseda. He's not even expecting a miracle. He's waiting for some angel to come and stir the water. But Jesus goes to him. Where is his faith? Maybe he had zero faith. He never expected Jesus to come, but Jesus can raise them. He was fine. Where is the faith of Lazarus? The man is dead. Okay. Maybe it goes in minus. No faith. Did his sisters have faith? No. Obviously, because they said, yes, Jesus, we know you will raise on the last day. Okay. So nobody has, yeah, palatine. Okay. But they had faith. No. Maybe his friends are right. Yeah. See, so generally, God works on the basis of our faith. According to your faith, let it be done for you. So that is how God works. But there are exceptions. There are times when the person receiving the miracle may have no faith. God still does it to show his greatness, to show his glory. Yeah. What about this God's timing? See, let's say, for the answer to your question, see, you only told that one uncle came and he prayed for me and I got healed. I mean, we just, let's say you're suffering from three days, two days, but you have faith.  But what we can say, you didn't got healed on the first day or second day. I mean, not taking particularly and just say anything. So some other uncle or some other pastor came to me and prayed, then I got healed. What about we can, can we put this anywhere? It's God's timing. The other thing was also, see, someone have, have a cancer. So it should not be like, I should not go to medicine and take medicine. It's not like God will do miracles and all. But yeah, there is, there is definitely a God's timing and like everyone won't be get healed every time. We have faith, everyone will have faith. But maybe this, this may be stopping us. Okay. Fine. I'll just say two quick things, only two minutes left. So I think first chapter we have to do next class. We are still in the introduction. So the two things are see, we, when we studied Jesus's life, every time people came and asked him, he did the miracle. He never said, there is a right time or come back tomorrow. Never. You don't see that at all. And instantaneously, people were healed. So every time you approach Jesus, there's a miracle. Okay. Now, let's keep that in mind. Now, see, there are two things, being healed a spiritual reality for a believer, yes, because by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed, right? As I have 53 versus four, five, when we see that he carried our sorrows, he carried our sickness, you know, by his stripes, stripes, we are healed. It says, if you look at one Peter 224, Peter says by his stripes, we were healed. Already it's done in the spiritual realm. Okay. So it's already done. So the question is more about manifestation. Understood. So we are just waiting for it to show up in our, in our physical realm that, okay, I want to see all these symptoms go. I want to see everything fine. So maybe that's when we are looking at the timing. Why is it not happening? Maybe at the right time, God will, God will reveal it. But in the ministry of Jesus, we don't see any timing. He never mentioned about it. Secondly, even in the wrong timing, God did a miracle because going back to John chapter two, the mother of Jesus goes and says, they don't have any wine. And then Jesus says, what is this? My time has not come. This is the wrong time. You're asking me too early. But even at that time, he did the miracle. So for him, timing is nothing. He's already done it on the cross. Okay. And when we ask him for a miracle, it's more about, first of all, we need to ask. Secondly, we need to have faith and things will happen. So at least from my, my understanding of scripture, there's nothing like the right time for the miracle or the right time for the healing or the right time. If somebody is oppressed, if somebody's sick, God wants them instantly out of that situation. Like what practical? Yeah. So yes, yes, yes, yeah. Good. Very good point, Anand. So that's what we are discussing right now that we need some keys to unlock the manifestation of the supernal. It already exists. It's already granted in God's Word. But our faith is being built up. Okay. As we study scriptures, our faith will be built up. And we see even all over the world, if you study about the different movements that have taken place, you know, after the Dark Ages, like 1400 AD, then you will see one by one, you had different moves, right? Like sanctification, healing movement, currently the, the, what move of the saints, movement of the saints, where God is restoring the five-fold ministry offices. And with the five-fold ministry offices also is the, you know, restoration of this whole understanding of, you know, the prophetic and different works of power of God. So God is doing that till he brings all of us to the unity of the faith. These things are in the Word. My point is, as we gain more understanding, you will see more and more happening. We will see more and more happening. And yeah, you will see, I will see. It has to, because Jesus said, you shall see, you shall do greater works than these. Only thing, we have to get that understanding of the scripture. Yeah, keys, keys, correct, keys. So we'll start with the keys from next class. Let's close with a word of prayer. Thank you all our online students for your comments. I know I didn't read them out, but thank you so much for answering the questions. All right, let's pray together. Would somebody, Prince? Jesus, Lord, we thank you for this time, O Lord Father. We thank you for all the things that we have discussed, O Lord Father, everything that you have spoken to us, O Lord Father. We thank you, Jesus. And Lord Father, we ask for your wisdom, O Lord Father, to unlock our understanding, O Lord Father, regarding what your heart is, O Lord Father, for your people, for us, O Lord Father. In Jesus, we ask, O Lord Father, that you will open our, open the eyes of our hearts, O Lord Father, to see you, Jesus, to understand you more, O Lord Father, to walk in the way that you have called us, O Lord Father, even we pray, O Lord Father, that whatever we're going to learn, O Lord Father, we pray, O Lord Father, it will be practical in our lives, O Lord Father. Jesus, we thank you for everything, Jesus. Help us to know and grow, O Lord Father, in more of you, Jesus, to do the things that you have called us to do. And Lord, we submit ourselves, we submit our understanding, we submit our hearts, our minds into your hands, O Lord Father. Let your will be done in our lives, O Lord Father, as it is in heaven. We give you all the glory and honor. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Prince. And thank you, everyone. Have a good week, good weekend. Yeah, today is Friday. Okay, and we will meet you all next week, next session. Okay, bye.


Oh my goodness, what's up my name is MrV here welcome to another video guys so in today's video we're going to take a look at five stocks that are still 50% off. We know that we had that huge sell off in March when things went really south for a lot of companies ever since there's been a little bounce back a little squeeze on the upside and a lot of companies or even some are even starting to see their 52 week high already even though we're still in lockdown but there's still other companies that are great companies the solid companies and companies have been around for a while they're still struggling to even get back to just 50% of the sell off so we're going to take a look at five of this company today but if you before we get started guys if you're new to the channel we talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth so if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content and also just because YouTube wants you to do it so it helps my channel so let's jump on the computer kind of go through it and you see each of these stocks and why you know I think they're 50% off but they have a great upside so let's jump right in so here we go guys so the first company on the list here is ticket symbol BA so that would be Bowen so let me kind of really zoom out here so we can see let's go to a week calendar so that we can see exactly how Bowen has been moving around so if you if we go here so this is let's just go to say this is May of 2019 so I want to be in 2020 sorry guys alright so let's go to 2020 if we see as of December Bowen was trading at close about $367 just just in December so fast forward in January Bowen was somewhere around 365 still right and then here comes March where we had that huge massive sell-off look at how the thing collapsed so Bowen goes from looking at maybe this is February 14 looking at 350 or 350 and 45 dollars and then huge sell-off it drops down all the way to 89 dollars this is insane I'm bullish on Bowen a lot of you already know if you've been following my channel you know that I like Bowen I like the business model I like the fact that they do a lot of contracts with Defense Department and the government I like the fact that the president talks about them a lot so there's a company that they're not gonna just let go bankrupt just like that right now they're having some issues but I'm pretty sure that they're gonna resolve those issues and get back on track so if you missed out on this particular bottom right here 89 dollars from again 349 dollars that was insane and then after that bottom is starting to squeeze up a little bit so notice like we got this little squeeze here and it went up to a high of about 184 and then pulled back again and it's just been around is 120 to 140 area and I think as of today when I was doing this video it was about 144 so if you look at that from that perspective 144 of 349 in mark in February that is crazy that is even less not about 50% of that's almost 60% of if we do the math so I'm still bullish and I like them so if you didn't get in here at 89 dollars just still a chance I mean I personally got some at 90 something dollars then static averaging up as the price went up so I think my average right now is I think 115 or so I do have a lot of bow until and I feel strong about it I feel good about it I'm not worried about anything about them going bankrupt so I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the ride to go up back to 300 dollars and things go okay I mean I'm anticipating 400 dollars so that's just me do your research before you put money on the line like I do so that is number one so let's jump up to number ticket symbol here would be RTX radiant technology again this is another company that I'm really bullish on after the merger with UTX I really kind of like what I saw there so if we take a look here just before the crash in February they were out at about 158 and then here comes a crash if you can see these candles here see how just how bad that is like it just kind of went down so went down and then kind of squeezed back up and then when they did your when they did your merger with UTX so that they split the share price and so I think it came back at I was like 50 something or 60 bucks per share after that merger and then ever since then it's just been around there is 60 and 50 dollar price range but again the upside to this is your business model doing contracts with the military we know very well that the defense department doesn't mess around with your spending so companies like this unless some massive scandal really comes out companies like this is just gonna be just fine so I'm gonna sit back I have our a good position in radiant so I'm gonna sit back and just watch it go up and I'm anticipating getting back to 150 so that is you know my number two so let's move on to number three number three here is ticker symbol LC LH again I've done a video about these guys here on the channel Norwegian Cruise look at look at that before the crash and you can totally see it on the graph here man it's ridiculous like like some bloody waterfall so from a high of about fifty nine dollars close to sixty dollars back in January and here comes the crash we dropped down all the way to about seven dollars this is ridiculous guys and then see it did a little bit of a pull back this is a squeeze there on the upside but that didn't really material lies all cruises the ground that they're not running no business is taking place right now so very difficult for them to make any kind of move but as of right now they are trading at about sixteen bucks that's better than seven dollars so there's our upside and they are talking about no at least sailing this year yet so it maybe September or October they anticipate that they're going to be on in the water is a sailing with your customers and then one other thing that I like about the Norwegian cruise to is that they have they've raised enough money to keep them afloat for another 18 months if they don't sail which is great if you have enough money to keep your float for that long 18 months that's excellent that is a good sign of a healthy company in my opinion if I could have that kind of money to operate everyone they not bring in any revenue so that's where I like them so let's move on to number for WBA so if we take a look here let's go to our 2020 that's what we want to be okay alright so this is February before the crash right here December 2019 it was up to about 64 dollars and some change January they were up it's about 51 dollars and fast forward the crash came in and this whole thing dropped down to about 38 dollars and as when I was doing this video they're trading at about 40 something dollars and some change so not quite 50% yet but I mean there's still a tremendous amount of upside so all things being equal they continue to do the right things and stores open up we can just get it back to it the 52 week high prior to the crash it's just sitting pretty good and then let's take number five would be DAL ticket symbol DAL is with Delta Airlines so this is again another terrible one if you look at before the crash 62 dollars and some change here comes a crash in March drop all the way down to about 18 dollars and change and then kind of squeeze back up and then couldn't hold that that that particular confirmation came back down and since then it's just been hovering somewhere around I'll say 22 and 25 dollars but Delta Airlines are massive Airlines so I don't anticipate them going through some really hard time and filing for bankruptcy or any of that stuff so I'm gonna sit back here watch this one and just give you the opportunity because as soon as people start flying they're gonna be just fine the only thing hold is like people are still not flying people freaked out so if we get a vaccine people get back on the plane and start flying you can be choose she's fine so that's just a five and then one bonus one that I want to add here is PBA Pembina Pipeline so this is a pipeline company and this one is I think it's not 50% it's kind of about 30 or 25% of right now coming into the crash they were trading at about 40 dollars and then here comes a crash and it drops all the way down to about $10 and then you see it's just gradually being squeezing up so so this particular let's see so this would say $10 and 50 cents without was the bottom so which is gonna crazy because most people cannot really predict me what the bottom is gonna be so look at that rejection came all the way down to $10 and 50 cents and then I still this they haven't found any confirmation confirmation yet so are you just consolidating around $25 right now so hopefully if we can consolidate get some confirmation get out of there again most of these companies are basically just waiting for the economy to get back on track and and they'll be just fine so here we go that is the five companies and a bonus one that I just added in there for you guys that I would say 50% off again do your research guys this is my personal take the companies that I just put on here I do like them I think they have some great upside so if you see a thing like hey these are the companies that you want to go and do your research properly I didn't go into the financiers or anything of these companies I'm just slowly looking at the health of the company based on what the service that they provide and how people are used to these companies until we can go look back into in details and the different financiers to make even better decisions so yes if you do have any questions about my list don't hesitate again to drop that in the comment section if you have some other suggestions of stocks do you think are still currently highly on the value don't hesitate guys to share with us in the comment section again if you're new to the channel we'll talk about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth if that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and any notification bell so you don't miss out on your content and as always guys stay safe stay motivated


So, one will come to the 33rd session of the second module of the core signal and systems. We shall now take up the example that we had just introduced in the previous session namely the example where we took two rectangular pulses we wanted to convolve them and then find out the Fourier transform. What I said is that this particular example illustrates some ideas. So, let us first carry out the task of calculating the Fourier transform of each of the rectangular pulses. I know we have done it before, no harm in just doing a couple of steps again. So, let us calculate this is x1 t and x2 t and its Fourier transform essentially minus infinity plus infinity either x1 or x2 as you like, e raised to power minus j omega t dt which is essentially integral from minus t to t a e raised to power minus j omega t dt and that is a times e raised to power minus j omega t divided by minus j omega integrated from minus t to plus t and that gives us a e raised to power minus j omega t minus a e raised to power j omega t by minus j omega which can now be simplified and we will do that. So, it simplifies to 2 a j sin omega t divided by j omega and as you know we have done this before you can always multiply and divide by t. So, I can put a t there and cut off the j you have 2 t times a sin omega t by omega t. Now, this is the Fourier transform of any one of those rectangular pulses. So, if we convolve them, let us convolve them, this convolution is easy to calculate. In fact, I would not carry out the whole calculation, I leave it to you to complete. So, I will just write down the convolution, you know you could let me just indicate the main step. So, you have the train platform analogy, you have tau, you have written x1 of tau and x2 t minus tau and you could multiply these 2 together and integrate. So, point by point you need to multiply these 2 together and find the area under the product. I would not do this whole thing, we have done it before and I will straight away write down the result. The result you will follow, of course the first thing is that the result would extend from minus 2 t to plus 2, it will also result in a straight line and at the maximum you are going to have a total area of a squared over a length of 2 t, so a squared into 2 t, that is the area contained at the maximum and it is going to change linearly starting from minus 2 t up to 0 and then fall off as you go to 2 t. This is how it is going to look, the convolution is going to be essentially a triangle like this, let me darken it, essentially a symmetric triangle. Now, if we were to try and calculate the Fourier transform of this directly, so if I wanted to evaluate the Fourier transform of this, it is going to be a bit tedious. You would require to evaluate something like t times or you know 1 minus or some constant minus t times e raised to power minus t omega t over t and so on. But now with the convolution theorem, calculating the Fourier transform of this is very easy. The Fourier transform of this is simply the product, so it is x1 omega into x2 omega and that is essentially the square, the square of x1 omega because both of them are identical. So it is 2 t into a sin omega t by omega t, the whole square as simple as that. So you see you notice the convolution theorem helps you to calculate Fourier transform very conveniently here. Now, could the Fourier transform also help you to calculate the convolution more conveniently? That is what we need to now establish. Now what we will do is to establish a theorem or a very important principle whatever you might want to call it before we do that and we will take the same example and illustrate how by using that principle or that theorem, it is very useful to use the Fourier transform to calculate a convolution. Now let us establish the principle first and that principle which we are going to establish is called the principle of duality. It is the next property of the Fourier transform. The idea is very simple. Begin with the expression for the Fourier transform. So I have capital X omega is integral xt e raised to the power minus j omega t dt. Now write down the expression for the inverse Fourier transform. xt is 1 by 2 pi integral, of course all these integrals are from minus to plus infinity. Capital X omega times e raised to the power j omega t d omega. Now all that I need to do is to interchange the variables. So you know after all what is a variable, what is, it is essentially just a name. I could write omega here and I could write t there, this will become t omega, this will become t. So essentially what I would have is an expression x omega, small x omega is 1 by 2 pi integral minus to plus infinity. Capital X t e raised to the power j omega t again. And now I could simply write x of minus omega instead of x omega, make that little change in the integral. A very interesting integral. Now what are we saying here? We are saying essentially this is the Fourier transform of this except for the factor of 2 pi. So if I make that correction then we will simply write down a Fourier transform you can take the 2 pi to the other side. We can carry it here and we have a very interesting conclusion. 2 pi x small x of minus omega is minus to plus infinity capital X t e raised to the power minus j omega t dt. Now formally we are saying if small x t has the Fourier transform capital X omega then capital X of t has the Fourier transform 2 pi small x evaluated at minus omega. A very powerful result. It says that this Fourier transform pair X t and capital X omega can be inverted. So if you looked at the Fourier transform and thought of it as a function of time instead of frequency. Then each Fourier transform comes out to be very similar to the original time function except that it is reversed. There is a reversal or a mirroring around 0 and a multiplication by 2 pi that multiplication by 2 pi is just a scaling. Now what is the consequence of this? The consequence of this is that a rectangular pulse has a sine x by x kind of pattern for its Fourier transform. And therefore a sine x by x kind of pattern would have a rectangular pulse for its Fourier transform. So convolving 2 sine x by x kind of pulses is better done by taking the Fourier transforms of each of them, multiplying the Fourier transforms and then taking the inverse Fourier transform. It is not a good idea to convolve 2 sine x by x pulses directly. It is better to take their Fourier transform, multiply the Fourier transform and then take the inverse Fourier transform. We will see more about the property of duality in the next session. Thank you.


session of the 2020 Open Simulator Community Conference. In this session, we are happy to introduce a session called After COVID-19, What's Holding 3D Virtual Worlds Back and What Can We Do About It? Our speaker is Ramesh Ramlal. Ramesh Sharma Ramlal currently leads DeepSemma 4 LLC, an e-learning and simulation solutions company. Please check out the website found at conference.opensimulator.org for speaker bios, details of the sessions, and the full schedule of events. The session is being live streamed and recorded, so if you have questions or comments during the session, you may send tweets to at OpenSimCC with the hashtag pound OSCC20. Welcome everyone! Let's begin the session. All right, thanks. Thanks everyone for being here at this late hour, and I know everyone is pretty much very tired, you know, after two days of very interesting talks. So for this last talk, it's going to get a little bit more philosophical and maybe courageous to look at maybe to be a little bit self-critical and try to find out, you know, to look at what's happening outside our community, and then try to see, you know, how we can make things a little bit different or a little bit better or, you know, try to evolve. Okay, and so the title of my talk today is After the COVID-19 Crisis What's Holding 3D Virtual Words Back? And what can we do about it? I used the word back, not in a negative sense. I mean, it's just, you know, from the perspective, from one very narrow perspective, of looking at market sizes of different technologies, etc., and try to look from there, you know, about trying to compare adoption rates and things like that, because you know, around 2008, I was a big fan of, and I still am. Actually, I own a company doing those things, but there's been a lot, I mean, we've been doing simulations and all these things early on around 2008 and got, you know, papers published in the Journal of Emergency Management and things like that. So let's, I was thinking, okay, I had like a stream of consciousness and I recorded it on, as an audio file last Friday, I mean this Friday, two days ago, and then I mapped a video on top and tried to make it interesting. Hopefully, I've succeeded. So let's watch this clip, okay, and then if you have any questions, you just ask, you know, and I'll try to answer through the clip you're supposed to start answering. I'd be quiet. My thoughts about why virtual worlds in general are not finding similar levels of interest as videoconferencing platforms during this COVID-19 crisis. What's holding 3D virtual worlds back and what can we do about it? We are here exploring this issue together, so feel free to share your own thoughts or questions as they arise in chat. This talk is more like a stream of consciousness, and it has a somewhat loose structure, but I'm sure you will find the interconnections. I will spend some time on conferencing applications before segueing into 3D virtual worlds. So the first question I have is COVID-19 a showstopper or a catalyst. There is general consensus that COVID-19 has accelerated the digitization. Thanks for the opportunity to present at the OSCC 2020 New David with the WebEx ancestry who turned into a Goliath within a year. One year ago, most did not know what the Zoom application was or what it offered. Now it's almost a verb or an adjective for a videoconferencing session. One can ask why is it that Zoom became the most popular conferencing application when there are so many competitors around? Why are so many people of all walks of life eager to embrace Zoom sessions? Yes, with conferencing platforms during this COVID-19. Thanks for the opportunity to present at the OSCC 2020. Today I am going to share some of my thoughts about why virtual worlds in general are not finding similar levels of interest as videoconferencing Zoom back classes from home and even you can even see religious meetups or meditation sessions happening in Zoom sessions goes without saying that I'm not pointing to the most common use case which involves remote work. So who is the clear winner among collaborative technologies? It is certainly video conferencing applications. We can ask ourselves why is it that when forced into geographic separation the first reflex is to reach out to a videoconferencing application. Zoom recognized this and they started building an ecosystem of applications around web conf an ecosystem of applications around web conf around web conferencing applications which turned out to be core rather than peripheral in collaborative work processes. So everyone now is doing it really. Microsoft will team and scan. Thanks for the opportunity to present at the OSCC 2020 in terms of an effective technology to connect people without hitting some technological constraint. Is that a bad news? I don't think so. I think it's a good news because there's a lot of work that remains to be done. But what can we do to make virtual worlds a place where people will come back to for work and play? There are many unexplored domains when it comes to 3D virtual world design. One of the advantages when you start working in unexplored domains is that in many cases tactically it's still possible for researchers with modest bootstrapped financial resources to still work in the field. Fundamental problems that need to be addressed typically require more pen and paper activities and less exorbitant bleeding edge hardware. So anyway I believe that unexplored domains kind of level the field. So let's have a look at examples of such domains. Okay, one of them is there are ample opportunities to study the pain points or the challenges that teachers or subject matter experts face when trying to make effective use of 3D virtual worlds for learning purposes. So you can try to identify them and then design your offering that is your 3D world technology around them. There is an obvious need to reduce the ratio of virtual environment content creation time to subject matter content creation time. In short you want your users to spend more time creating quality subject matter content rather than the virtual world that holds that material. How are we on our end accelerating the the creation of content in general both in amount and quality? Our philosophy is simple split the world into parts thoughtfully so that you can assemble those parts in order to yield new content. So reusability and sharing of products so that they can be evolved is key in our view. The ability to import and manipulate text and image data in virtual worlds need to be offered as a core standard functionality. User content generation either from scratch or from creative assemblies of existing parts will remain king. So we are trying to support that. These little parts can help users create small exhibits which themselves can be assembled into museums or classrooms or large campuses and so on. Such a simple strategy can help to allow teachers to create environments that they need quickly and painlessly. We also have another strategy to increase adoption of virtual worlds. We try to encourage the design of minimal user interfaces and create systems that provide the optimal amount of freedom. Yes too much freedom is bad. One could achieve this by automating the more time consuming tasks in virtual environments. Example navigation, camera control. All these are time consuming tasks and if we can find a way to make these simpler and faster we will do it. What do we see as future possibilities? For shared environments that require long hours sitting at the desk in the near term working with variables will probably remain sorry working without variables will probably remain the norm. Users will prefer to have many of their 3D virtual tasks automated so we will continue to expect point and click operations on 2D surfaces for pretty much at least the next few years. We will also see new ways for self representations beyond avatars with limited expressivity and this of course certainly doesn't mean that you know we should shoot for higher fidelity avatars. There are many other things that we can try to represent a user or their activities and the next point I wanted to talk about is about the need for hybridizing approaches for mixing approaches because I believe that the future will be more about hybridizations of various approaches because each have particular strengths that we want to leverage. So I think we could see in the near future a mix of video conferencing and 3D world applications where the natural affordances of both are blended and made available to the user. This is just one example of a hybridization. We already see as another example of hybridization the injection of real-world environments into virtual worlds. At the simple level we see the creation of simple 3D panoramas from pictures obtained from Google. We do that, but at the deeper more advanced levels we will see more intelligent photogrammetric approaches and so on. So the field is wide open there. The next point that I think will be of interest is what will be the state of the art for information representation in 3D worlds. I think we'll be seeing fundamental changes at the level of how we represent information in 3D spaces. Over the centuries we have been good at compressing complex data through both syntactic and semantic compression methodologies. We have reduced for example a horse to a powerful line drawing on the wall of a cave. We have discovered the power of abstract representations that gives us insights in large numerical datasets or complex observable physical phenomena. We might need to reinvent presentation, brainstorming project management tools and so on in this menu. And perhaps why not? Let's not hesitate to revisit and recombine all the range of approaches that have worked in the past and try to adapt them to this new 3D virtual medium. And I want to end with a main question with an important question. Should we rely on forced physical separation to highlight the importance of 3D virtual worlds? We cannot do that. We cannot rely on forced physical separation due to a pandemic, you know, to argue for the utility of a 3D virtual world. It's time that we refine, amplify and evolve the environment so that it becomes obvious to people why they should spend time there. We should start looking at virtual worlds less as an escape from reality and more as a catalyst for self and group empowerment. We are already implementing a number of products towards these goals. So please get in touch with me if you have the skills or resources to help us in this endeavor. We are always happy to collaborate. Thank you for your attention. Any questions? That was an excellent session. We had some comments in the text chat. I'm scrolling up to take a look. But most of them were just talking about the video production and of course Zoomies. We had some comments from Cindy Bolero who mentioned ScienceBase is using a breakout room with a combo of Zoom and the virtual world. She wasn't sure if you were familiar with that and the fact that they can relate to that tech but soon realized they don't have to be on the webcam. And then of course she's a virtual world trainer for Zoomies so it requires a bit of adaptation and orientation I suppose for people to be comfortable with it. Frank Ruloff mentions companies see home working more as a standard for the 40% of week. So now the question is there's some cultural shifts we're noticing. What do you recommend Ramesh to adapt to these because this may continue after COVID. We may have future crises that we have to adapt for. So where do you think we're going with this preparedness? Oh yes. Okay. There are two things here. One is for the preparedness simulation stuff and things like that where there's a valid reason to be in an environment and immersed in a particular situation and rehearse things where the 3D aspect of the environment makes sense. But for a lot of the business conferences and where people are signing contracts or making deals and you know buying, selling, stocks or whatever they are doing in fact you know the video conferencing application seems to work well. I know people from governments, between governments instead of flying to their meetings for very important international affairs stuff now doing Zoom sessions. So and I'm looking at this from a purely you know unbiased perspective as an investor in technology myself. If you look at the stock price for various companies dealing with digitization and business they are very very you know task-centric. It's about security, it's about encryption, it's about you know the least common denominator, at least that replaces face-to-face for it seems to be to be video and even in the news media when people are being interviewed they are now just doing the interviewing you know the pundits or whatever just doing you know video conferencing. So I see that you know that's one one vector of evolution. Another vector would be which is really very very courageous and you really need to make superb breaks where it goes deep to to topics of how do we represent information. You know we used to think for example at one point in the early days of Second Life that we could use like 3D graphs and all kinds of 3D visualization visualizing air traffic data and all that stuff but at the end of the day people who study information visualization know that whatever visualization you produce it can be evaluated by based on how much of the information density of visualizations and then you start thinking you know maybe all these 2D representations are not like don't precede 3D they actually they actually evolve out of 3D so it's it's more complex. So what I see in the future is that in 3D worlds we will still be interacting with 2D media but you know if things are very simple enough then then yeah if we have avatar to avatar interactions and you know without without having to wear headsets I think we'll be fine but we need to invent those new tools inside those 3D environments because the mundane people who are not gamers they need something to do in the virtual world it's either productivity or social okay if you don't have social but at least give them productivity and that's what I'm hoping that we at least on our end are going to try to make possible so you know that's that's what I'm trying so I tried to invent a presentation approach here with this clip because I was trying to say okay what can we what what how can we use this 3D world and try to make something you know that transland transense the 3D environment and that can be accessed on the web it's all experiments just just you know just playing really I just play that's what I do well thank you and you know I don't know if you saw Selby we're about to wrap but Selby had brought up an important point you know in the text chat so you might want to take a look down the fact that everything costs whether it's your facilities whether it's you know supporting students whether it's educators all the physical costs as well as the virtual costs so we think about these things for me in answer to your question it's about interaction and creativity the more vested a student is in demonstrating their thoughts and giving them form in some fashion that's what forms a connection that's much more profound for my students than watching video or or just socializing I mean socializing is wonderful don't get me wrong but but it seems that when there's a physical commitment to what you're learning and even if you discover things that you don't know when you make mistakes there's some some magic sauce there that's really important for them for forming those connections in the mind oh yes definitely I spent 10 years working like this so I know what you're talking about but sometimes I miss I miss people that's right that's right well I'm we're going to go ahead and wrap up please don't stop the conversation on my part here thank you very much for a terrific presentation and for putting so much thought behind your video as a reminder hey take care remiss


Hi guys, this is Jason here from the Nathaniel School of Music and in this lesson, let's explore the six feel or what we call the six by eight rhythm pattern on the piano. While I'm doing it on the piano, please note that you can also do it on other instruments or you could even program it in a recording software if you will. So for all general chord lessons, you need chords. So let's look at a chord progression which I think is awesome. You have the first chord being D minor, D F A, got that D minor.  And when you play them together, yeah, it gives you a very nice, brave and epic kind of vibe, right? We also say that these chords are part of the Dorian scale, right? But I just love, I just love this, love the way these four chords come together. Let's see how it sounds first of all, D minor, B minor, F, C, E, G, Pum, Pum. So these are your chords. Write them down, get used to playing them a bit. And now let's look at how we can take these four chords and play them over a six feel. So a six feel, as the number six suggests, is six beats in a cycle or six beats in a bar, right? Some people will sort of simplified and say, oh, it's actually three or some other people may make it even more complicated and say it's 12, you know, 12, 8 or 3, 4 or something. I just like six because that's the way the songs are written. The chords will usually change after around six beats. But yeah, you could either do two cycles of six or one cycle of six, as we are going to see in this lesson, okay? Let's first look at one chord, the D minor chord and just see how we are trying to create a six, eight pattern around that D minor chord, okay? So D minor is DFA and the first thing to do or the first thing to plan out is to take the bottom note of your chord. The bottom note of my chord is D and you copy that D to the top end. That means you're actually going to take a triad which has three notes and play a four note phrasing or use four notes, one note being the octave of the low note. So let's look at the D minor now, DFA and now we add the D, ideally with the pinky finger. I don't think you'll be able to do it with any other finger. So you go DFA, D, D at the top end, okay? So what was once D minor, the three notes is now that. And when you play them going up and down or down and up, you'll observe something automatically that it just sounds like it's on a six feel, okay? So I'm just going up and down naturally, just looking at it finger by finger and let's see how it sounds, right? One, two, three, four, five, six, one. And by the time it takes to recycle what happens, six beats have elapsed. Let's hear that again, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, right? And I'm visualizing this as triplets. If you observe my head movement doing the pulse, I'm feeling it this way, right? But if I played a bit faster, I'm feeling it as we call it as sixteenth note triplets. So the first way we look at it as eighth note triplets, which is dividing my pulse by three. And the second way we look at it is dividing the pulse by six. So depends on, I guess, how fast you're playing it or how you wish to count it, it all depends on the pulse. So with this entire lesson, keep in mind the pulse, whatever we feel as the pulse is how we are going to define what we play, right? Or maybe you don't have to define what you play. You can just go with the flow as long as you enjoy the sound, okay? So D minor again, it immediately sounds like that Metallica song, doesn't it? Okay, so we start from the bottom note, the low, and you could also, however, start from the high note, which is played by the pinky finger. So that'll be again, I'm just going down and up, down and up, isn't it? Let's do that again, high, low, high, low. Okay, so that's the essential two patterns, which I want you to practice. We are doing it over D minor chord. Let's now do it over the other chords. What are the chords again? D minor, F major, C major, G major. So we've done it over D minor. Let's now move to the other chords. D minor, F major. So how am I playing F major? I don't want to jump it too much. So I'm trying to find the closest way or the easiest way of playing F major and also the most pleasant to hear, also which has the most common voices. So I'll do C, F, A, C because F, A are in common between D major and F major. So you go D, sorry, D minor. So D minor, F major. And now C major. I'm already here on C, isn't it? With my thumb. So I just take these fingers down, C major. Then we can go a bit up and play G major and conclude. Let's do that again. D minor, F major, C major, G major. Okay? So the first chord is minor, all the other chords are major. Okay, what if you start from the top end, from the pinky? Let's see how that goes. D minor, F major, C major, G major, D minor, F major. You can now climb if you want. C major, G major. That also works. And what's cool if you start from the high note, the high note sort of becomes like the melody line, which the year is going to process as the melody. Okay? So make a note. When you start from the high note. And that brings me to my other very, very important point. The first note of the 6 by 8 pattern, I want you to sustain with whichever finger you're playing it with. So if you do the low note, see I'm holding it. I'm holding it till the entire thing finishes. Two, three, four. Right? You may want to hold it with your other hand just to get used to it. But yeah, you will get it eventually. So you go one, two, three, four, five, six. Then you start with the high note. Again, I'm holding that, okay? Maybe to train your ear, try to sing that, okay? Left hand needs to now start. The first thing I would advise you to do, since the right hand is quite a job, is just play some of the simpler patterns. Just hold down the roots of the chord and just wait till the entire six ends here. So one note for every six. Roots of the chord, meaning the name of the chord, so that's D, F, C, G. And I prefer to play it as octaves. It makes it a lot more grander and epic. But you could play it single notes if you wish. And I'm playing it as octaves in this lesson. F, C, G, D, D minor, F major, C major. Keep that simple. And once you've got a flair of that, then you could try and now toggle between the root and the octave. So that means every three beats, every three sub-beats, you can go octave, root, octave, root, octave, root. Just get a feel of that. And if you're having a problem playing the octave, maybe you're too close to the right hand, you could replace the octave with its fifth or even its third. Stuff like that.  So anyway, I'm feeling triplets in my mind. We are feeling triplets, one triplet, two triplet, three triplet, something like that. So what you could do is let the left hand play one note for every three like this. But instead of playing like a boring root, which gets boring after a while, you could play root for fifth, third, fifth, that's D, A, F, A, D, no need of inversions. Just play the D minor chord like this. Okay. So this will complement the right hand, one for every three. So something like one, two, three, one, two, right, left, left, left, left. Let's see how it sounds. And now what's happening with the D minor chord is I'm trying to make it a little longer, six into two, which is 12. Otherwise, I don't, I can't finish my arpeggio in the left hand. That's why I'm making the right hand chord a bit longer. So D, A, F, A, by the time you finish that, you would have played this over two cycles of six. D minor. Keep getting, keep practicing. And the left, right hand. And then when you're confident with just this one chord, then change it to F major, C major, finally G major, back to D minor, F major. Sounds really cool, right? C major and on G major. So that's pretty much about the left hand in this lesson. I don't want to over, overthink the left hand too much because it defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to teach you. So that's about it for the left hand for now, hold the roots of the chord. If you can't do much more, toggle the root and the octave of the root and the fifth or play the entire chord as a kind of a slow arpeggio, forming a kind of a triplet with the right hand. Okay. So with all of what I've told you so far, we've looked at the six by eight time feel as sort of a triplet feel, isn't it? Tugged, dugged, one triplet, two triplet, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, right? It's always a kind of a three kind of feel where you're dividing the pulse or the beat by three. Another way to use six eight, which I think is quite cool, as not think of it as divisions of three, think of it as divisions of two, okay? And let the time signature be three by four or three beats per bar, okay? So for that to happen, you need to accent every alternate beat. So in other words, what was once, so what's happening is you're creating a natural accent because it's going down one, two, three, up two, three. So when you don't think of the accent, well, it automatically comes out, it automatically becomes a six feel or a triplet feel, isn't it? One, two, because a pitch goes down three beats and then it goes up three beats. What if you defy that using volume? So you go, right? One, two, one, two, three, one, two, three. So what's happening is every alternate note, I'm pressing harder just to kind of force it to become a three by four song and there we go. I'm in the world of three automatically, right? Let's count that one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, one. Let's start from the bottom, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, right? And to make it a bit more unique for yourself, you could do, you could jumble the notes. So this is a nice pattern which you could try out, which is one and two and three and. Okay, I'm counting it as one and two and three and because the three got divided into two equal units. And we usually, when we divide a beat by two, we say and. So one and two and three and one and two and three, right? One, two, three. If you look at my left hand, it's pretty much like one conductor going three. Isn't it? Earlier I was like three, four, one, and now it's sort of changed. It's just the kind of mindset where I'm trying to change it to this versus that. Okay, and the left hand can kind of support your purpose. So the left hand earlier was serving the triplet purpose. Now let it serve the division of two, where you're actually doing a three by four and counting one, two, three. Okay, let's see how we can bring in the left hand. You see what's happening there? It's one note for every two hits here, two, three, one, two, three. Let's spread out the roots and the octaves.  Root, octave, octave, pop, pop, pop. So that becomes a three and you hear you're doing a division, change. You could also play chords in the left hand which slow arpeggios by doing something like one, two, three, one, two, three, one, one, two, three. So this is the style I like to play. Low note, high note, middle note. If you're not confident with playing the chords in both hands, I guess you can just hold the roots and it'll be fine in the left. Root, octave, root, octave, octave, right? So there are a lot of things you can do with the six by eight feel. But in this lesson, I just wanted to show you the difference. You can feel six divisions or six, a cycle of six either as triplets or you can feel it as eighth notes over a three by four or a three beat per bar song. So there's kind of two things to keep in mind. There's the time signature, okay? And there's the way you're kind of feeling the time signature. So earlier we did four by four or two by four, where we felt each quarter note or each beat or each pulse as triplets, which was a little lazier, right? Triplet, triplet. So here your head is moving in one, two, three, four, or one, two if you choose to do it over two, four. The other style was a bit busier where I looked at a three by four time signature and I'm playing eighth notes in my right hand, okay? So it's just the way your mind wants to react or the way you want to compose the song, but the cycle is of six. And the moment you kind of add the pinky to take over the octave, you're set, you get that nice six vibe. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pause the discussion here in this YouTube video and in the next video, what we are gonna do is we are gonna take this study to the next levels, okay?
