Hello and welcome. This is part three in a series. Be sure to watch the previous videos, otherwise you may be a little lost. But we're just looking at some commands, of many commands that you can run at your Linux shell, which in this case is Bash. Explain a little bit more about that in the first video, which hopefully you've watched. But today we're gonna be looking at the date command. So on pretty much all systems running, if you're running a Bash shell, you're probably have a date command available to you. Run that and it's gonna tell you the date. It's gonna tell you the day. So today is Monday. It is March 18th at the time of recording this. It is 8 a.m., 8.18 a.m. in 37 seconds. And I'm in Eastern Standard Time and it is 2024 at the time of recording this. That's great, that's very useful. What other options does it have? Well, I can say percent plus capital F, and sorry, I did that wrong. It's plus percent capital F, and it'll give me an abbreviated date as so. Another thing I can do is I can say H. What's that gonna do? Well, it's gonna give me the short version of the month. If I do capital M, it's going to tell me the minutes that we're currently at, right? It's 8.19. If I do a lowercase M, it's gonna tell me what month it is based on a numeric value. So instead of March, it's going to say three. If I was to do a capital H, it's gonna give me the hours in a 12-hour format, or no, I'm sorry, that's a 24-hour format. If I do capital I, it's gonna give it to me in a 12-hour format. So it's 8 a.m. But if it was 8 p.m., this version will still show 08 where this version would show 20 because it would be 200 hours. So we can do different things. We can also combine these. So for example, capital Y is a four-digit year. If I do lowercase Y is a two-digit year. So it's 2024. I can then do dash percent, and I can say M, and it will give me the month. If I don't want a dash, I can do a slash. If I want, I can do month slash percent, and I will do then do D for day slash, and I will do percent lowercase Y or capital Y. So how do I know all of these? Well, as I talked about briefly in the last video, almost all your programs that you're gonna run in your shell will have what's called a man page, a manual, if you will. Some are written better than the others, and good ones will give you examples in them as well. And some people complain about man pages, and it's just some are written well and some just aren't. Let's go ahead and look at the man page for date, and all you have to do is type in man and whatever command you want the manual for, in this case, date. And if we come in here, there's a lot of information. But right here you can see that we have all these different characters meaning different things. For example, percent lowercase A will be the day of the week in a three digit format, the abbreviate format. If you do capital A, it's going to be the full name. Lowercase B would be short version of the month. Capital B would be the long version of the month. If you do C, it's going to print it out, the local time as such, formatted like that. If we do capital C, it's going to give you the century. Basically it's like year, but it's going to be the two digits at the beginning rather than the end. So for cases 2024, it would be 20. Lowercase D is the month as a digit. If you do a capital D, it will print it out like this, month, day, and year with forward slashes. So you can come in here and you can see all these options and you can also create your own. A way, one of the very useful ones. And so also even has things like new line characters, which we'll talk about in a moment. You can do R. So you can create your own. You could do this manually, or by then they have an abbreviation for it with dash R, the epoch time. So if we do percent S, that's the number of seconds since 1970, you know, January 1st, 1970 at the beginning of the day, midnight. This is very useful and used a lot in programming. If you wanna calculate the time between one point and another, it's easiest to convert those to seconds and then convert them back using date command, which we may not get to in this video, but we probably will in a future video. I'm gonna go ahead and hit Q to get out of the man page, but let's go ahead and just type data command again. And what I can also do is I can do plus percent S. Again, will give me the number of seconds and every time I run it, if it's been at least a second, it's gonna give me a different number, right? This is the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 at the beginning of the day. But I can also do again, capital Y for year. And I can put in here, I can say year and it will print year in the year. I can do year colon. Now, if I do a space, it's gonna give me a problem because it's thinking, because there's a space here that we've moved on to something different. So what you can do is, as we talked about in the very first video in the series, where we did backslash means take the next character, not a special character, but literally, I can say backslash and it will now print that as a space rather than looking at it as a new part of the command. So I can type things and I can say the day is, and then I can say D for day, or that's the 18th. Let's do, what do we say? Was it A for Monday? Yep, or capital A would be the day is Monday. So you can format the date in many different ways. But did you know date can be used to calculate stuff? And so you can use your script very smartly. Think about on your phone or in a calendar application. Lots of times you can say something like, schedule dinner for tomorrow or next Tuesday or three days from now. Well, the date command actually recognizes a lot of those type of things. And I'll just show you a few examples here. So what I can say here is I can say date, and if I say dash dash date equals and I can give it a date. So I can say, let's say 01 slash 01 slash 2024. It's going to print out Monday, January 1st, 12 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. So it took that date and told me, so now I know that the first of this year was a Monday. And if I just wanted that, I can now add on that percent, that plus percent, and what did we say, capital A? So now I know that the first of this year was a Monday. Now what if I was just put this? Okay, so it automatically expects it to be this year if you don't give it a year. So I can say, okay, what about this? So the second, January 2nd of this year was a Tuesday. I can say, okay, what about in the future? What about 502, at least at the future at the time recording this? I'm assuming by the time I post it, that's going to be a Thursday. Now I'm putting in certain dates here and I can also look at a year. I can say 2222, so that's way in the future. Well, that's going to be a Thursday as well. That's going to be a Wednesday. So I can figure out what day of the week, any date in the past or future is. Now I could also say something like tomorrow. And it's going, you know, so right now today is a Monday. If I do that, it tells me tomorrow is a Tuesday. And you can also say plus five days. It's looking five days from now. Five days from now is a Saturday or a Wednesday. And I can also say, okay, what is going to be the, that would be the, I meant to do a lowercase m for a month. So we'll still be in this month, but if I was to go, how many days? I'll do 22 days. I'll know that 22 days from now, we will now be in April. And of course we can always look at the man page for different outputs of that. You can also go backwards. So I hit control L to clear the screen. I can go, okay, 22 minus 22 days. I can, and it goes, oh, okay, that month was the second month, but I can also just see what the date was 22 days ago. And so it's very smart. Other options, I can say next Tuesday. Next Tuesday is going to be March 19th because it's tomorrow. So it sees the next Tuesday as the next Tuesday coming up. Let's see, I think I should be able to say last Tuesday. Last Tuesday was the 12th. So it's very, very smart and it can take a lot of different inputs. So if you are writing a script that needs to put the date into something, you can always have the user type something like this and it could be somewhat smart and you can figure it out. Now, something we haven't gone over yet is we've talked about putting things in the variable. So let's say I want to create a variable called name and I put in quotations, I can say Chris and then I can echo dollar sign name. We'll print that out. But if you want to put the output of a command into a variable, what you can do is I can create a variable called D for date. And then here I'm going to say inside the quotations dollar sign and then opening and closing parentheses. Now I can put a command or a group of commands inside here and whatever the output will be in that variable D. So I can say date. Now if I echo dollar sign D, it's going to output the date. Now I realize it's the date at the time of running this. So if I run it again, if I run the echo command again, it still, it hasn't moved forward at all. This is useful if you want to use a certain time stamp at the beginning of a script and use it multiple times later and match them up because if you run the date command multiple times, not only will that use extra system resources running that date command as opposed to just using a variable, but the seconds might change throughout that. So yeah, you can put that into a variable so I can say something like dash dash date equals tomorrow. And now if I echo dollar sign D, it will give me what tomorrow is. And again, I can put this, I can say plus percent. And what did I say? Is it capital D for day? I believe so. Echo dollar sign D. Oh no, let's run that again. Let's look at the man page real quick because I'm drawing a blank. And down here we will say capital A for the day. Now if I echo dollar sign D, it will say Tuesday. Now let's go into our script. Let's create a new script. Let's go ahead and just create a script called, we'll call it tomorrow. Again, we don't need the .sh. That's just letting the user know it's a shell script but the computer really doesn't care. Again, we're gonna start our line with the shebang line which as I talked about in a previous video is just saying what program to use to read the script. In our case, it's a bash script. So another thing to copy and paste things in most Linux terminals which the terminal is the application that displays the shell, you highlight it and on Linux, by default, you've already copied it. On most Linux systems, once you highlight something you have two clipboards that just went into one clipboard but to be sure you can hit control shift C because again, control C in the shell will kill the current running application it will cancel it but control shift C will copy that. So we can highlight and it's already copied to one clipboard and we can do control shift C to copy it. We can now go into our script here and I can hit control shift V and again, I'm using Vim. If you don't use Vim as your text editor, that's fine. I'm not going into you how to use Vim use whatever text editor you like. So I hit control shift V which normally control V in most applications would paste. Another option, again, once I highlight something so if I was just highlight this most Linux systems, that's already copied if you sent your click which if you have a wheel on your mouse if you click the mouse that's how you paste what you highlighted. So I can highlight something, click highlight something, click and so you can quickly copy and paste stuff without having to do any combinations on your keyboard there. Well, now I'm going to say echo tomorrow is dollar sign D. Now, new script, so I have to make it executable. I'm going to control L to clear the screen and give it the name of that. So I'm going to say tomorrow. Now dot slash again, the dot slash just means I'm writing a script that's in this current directory. Boom. So anytime I run that, it's going to tell me what tomorrow is. And if it was tomorrow, it would tell me that Wednesday would be the output. So this little look at the date command it is very useful. Again, it's very smart. I just showed you some examples of like next Tuesday, last Tuesday, five days from now, five days ago. You could probably say plus, well let's actually when you just not say maybe you should be able to say date equals plus one year. And sure enough, one year from today is going to be a Tuesday, it's going to be March 18th because it's the 18th. But today is Monday, next year, March 18th it's going to be a Tuesday. And there's the year. So you can do plus or minus years, plus or minus days, should be able to do weeks. Yep, we just jumped ahead. One week will be the 28th or 25th. And we can go back a week. So the date command is a lot smarter than you might think. Look through the man page for it. It actually isn't very long. It will tell you everything you need to know. And especially these formatting for the different abbreviations to get the output that you want for certain things. So yeah, filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris of the K. There's a link in the description of this video to my website. At my website you can search through my videos. There's also an option up in the top corner. If you click on it, it says software I believe and that will bring you to a section where you can get links to my GitLab page, my Git notes, but also a section that just says notes, which is every pay spin file I've made in the last, I think probably over 10 years. It's a section on my website where you can search through all those. And I go there all the time because that's where I remember stuff if I have to look stuff up. Anyway, I do thank you for watching.

I would love your support. If not, I do thank you for watching. Be sure to like, share, subscribe and comment. And I hope that you have a great day.


You guys obviously did a really good job of protection in this last game But I wanted to ask you about one where where a rusher gets through and what that means to an offensive line when When when Ryan gets hit and throws throws a touchdown pass On the play where he says and one to saffold What's that mean to you guys that on the on the rare occasion where you let somebody through? He's able to take that hit withstand that hit and make a play kind of a courageous play Yeah, I mean I you know That's a great question And I it makes you want to protect for the guy even more because you know He's tougher than nails and you know that he's gonna you know win at all costs so when you let him down it hurts man and So it's it's a it's a It's one of those things like we obviously as an offensive lineman You hate getting a quarterback hit or sack or whatever those things are and then you watch him He'll he'll stand that he'll stare at the bear down the barrel of a gun take the hit and still deliver a strike And you're like man, we gotta we got to keep this guy clean. He's doing something really cool O'Hara was saying that all quarterbacks kind of have a scar under their chin No, no matter what Imagine you guys want to keep that as as small and bloodless as as possible Yeah, we want to we want him to trust in us that he can go through a progression and do his job back there And you know, there's always so many You know and he's tougher than crap and we want to keep him healthy for one And we don't want him to get so beat up. He loses his nerve, you know So it's part of our job to keep him confident back there and trust that he has time to go through progression and and not make those scars so so big and so deep that you know, it starts making him second-guess himself Harden if there's nobody else, can I keep going go for it? Rob's in here Keith you feel like that was a better past protection game than run blocking game Or are they just overloading so much on the run stuff that that there's only so much you can do at it No, I think you know, I'm I'm I'm proud of the guys how they protected this last game And I I definitely think we are cleaner in protection than we were running the ball you know and so You always are looking for improvement and stuff like that and we're certainly having arrived in protection and You know, but we at least have something there that we feel like we're taking strides and and want to want to keep going in terms of the run game, I think we're We're just you know, we're falling into this trap of we're one or two guys away every run and and we know Just as everybody knows in this league one or two guys away Isn't good enough and so we really stress that it takes all 11 to run the football and and you know for whatever reason You know, I got to find a way to coach it better and and so we can execute better and get 11 guys on the same page Really appreciate it. Good talk to you too. I have a few for you coach In Denver when Taylor missed some time for injury and Ty stepped in briefly at left tackle Can you just talk about what he did well and kind of what he brings the table? Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's funny because I feel like this was the same questions that we would get with Dennis last year and You know, it's just such a relief to have You know, some of the some of the backups we have here and that that includes Ty Smith and David Quisenberry and and Jamil Douglas and a bunch of guys Daniel money are on and on so it just Having somebody like Ty who has a lot of game experience and a lot of different positions who you know can go in there and Make all the calls and know what to do every play is just a You know, it's a it's a luxury to have honestly and so I think he did a really good job when he stepped in for him and and That's what's expected of him and it's a it's a relief not necessarily a relief But it's a it's definitely a bonus having guys like that that can You know it to a certain extent plug-and-play and and you don't have to change and alter what you're doing and Back to Taylor. He came to the season talking about wanting to step up as a leader. Have you seen anything from him? In regards to stepping into that leadership role has anything changed from last season Yeah, I mean, I just think you know You know just going into my third season here with Taylor, I think he's grown in so many areas and You know he he has taken it upon himself to be a leader and I think he's he's taken really good strides and You know, he shows up every day and he's you know, the same person meaning, you know, he's still Taylor He's you still has a great personality, but he's still you can rely and trust him to go out to practice every day and work hard and and You know kind of lead by example From how you handle the process standpoint and I think You know, he he's even been more verbal in which I think is really good because Taylor Taylor has a great sense of humor And he he's done a really good job of knowing when to be funny and when to kind of send the right message So I'm excited where he's at and I think he has a lot to be proud of and He's come a long way In that regard a lot was talked about With the head coach about the false starts And he was just talking about trying to get those neutral zone and fraction calls What are you looking for from the line this week and kind of what are your expectations in regards to either getting the calls or At least not getting the penalties on your side Yeah, you know, we went into that game and we knew you know Jacksonville has some some good players up front who really worked the cadence and and are really trying to You know, what we consider penetrators really try and penetrate and dent the offensive line right from the snap and and And so we knew cadence was gonna be a big deal now We I think what happened was we got so focused and in tuned on that we We just weren't quite smart enough about it and I know, you know, like, you know The first one they got Roger and that guy just flinched He didn't even really move he kind of just kind of wiggled a little bit But but we were ready and we took a coaching point in part of our game plan and I think we just weren't quite You know sharp with it, so I don't want us to lose that aggressiveness. I've course we really want to do a great job with cadence It's to our benefit from an offensive standpoint and Ryan does a great job with working the cadence So we want to keep going down that road. I think we just have to be smarter


Yeah, we are live now with Ula Yestem. Yeah, that's correct. Ula. That's that. Yay. I'm so excited. The Ula costume has been a very important alchemical role in the No Limits Society, and I'm really grateful that she accepted the invitation to come on to the show and to talk to us. Oh, it's definitely my pleasure. Seriously, I'm having such a good time. It's only been like less than a month, and really amazing.  So much fun. Yes, yeah. Ben Tinu and the team have done a great job putting that container together, and then the very realized people in there get to play with one another, and to create really strong ascensionary dynamics. And I've been super humbled and grateful and becoming more pure through the process. It's been nice. Yeah, totally. Do you know what, for me, it came as such a surprise because I've joined for the whole family, actually being more thinking about the Ben Tinu's teachings and having an access to what he does with the mentorship group, right? And then, and the family chat group came as a bonus, which my first thought was like, oh, no, not another group, right? When I have to be talking and stuff, because I'm face-to-face type of person more than on the phone, right? So I'm like, ah, there you go, another group. But I left all the other groups since, and this is my, you know, favorite. Yes. Yeah, it's such a bonus for me. It's like, I didn't expect that I'm going to receive so much great insight and amazing people, and yeah, just this ongoing conversation and playfulness, like you say, yeah. Yeah, that's the key is the whole idea of not another group. And then recognizing that this is actually the, the soul fam, like the one where it's like, I don't really need other group chats anymore. Like this is the one where it is so playful and serious. Like this is the juice that squeeze out of everything, like three weeks from me, I think we're on the fourth week and I am on the fourth week, right? So that's three weeks. I was like squeezing the juice out of a single drop. Yeah.  It's not like another group. It's just, it's different. It's a V. It's a V. V group. Yeah. Yeah. There has yet, there has yet to be a alchemical container that is as anchored in the realization of our true nature and then as having as strong of mirrors reflecting that God's love light at one another to purify the last bits of conditioning and ego and psychology and self-dealing and contraction and deception and distortion and twists and all these things. And so that's really the core thing is that it's just like pure pointing. Just exactly all of that. All of that. I was watching just before we connected. I was watching Bantinius and became serious about being playful, right? I finished that one last night. It was so good. Okay. Okay. Now on my, on my phone, I had to wait till I connect on the computer. But yeah, he was talking about being playful and about not being taking serious, you know, your play, basically. And I, I, this group helped me so much to drop seriousness of what I think what I have to say and about what I believe. How does beliefs become just temporarily played for the purpose of play momentary beliefs and they are able to be dropped, you know, next minute without any problem.  Now we moved on to another thing. Yeah. And because he has been challenged and not just for me, but I think for everyone. So we just, you had to kind of come to this place of like, oh, whatever, right? And drop everything all at once. It's kind of like this one came up on our show recently. It's the Giggle Fest plus the earnestness merged into one. So you have the real playfulness plus the seriousness merged into one, which is sort of another way of saying this, which is this kind of Buddha plus Atlas merged into one. Yeah, totally. You see, that's the thing. I had a problem for some time because I loved being in this place of nothingness and just silence and things.  And I'm like, how do I put this together? How do they go together? And it took me some time, quite a few weeks, quite some weeks really to kind of feel like, oh, they actually won the same, the merge at some point. And all of that comes out of this nothingness, all of this comes out of the silence. So out of the grand less grand, I like calling it. Yeah, this is actually a really good place to play together. Because a lot of the enlightenment dynamics upon realization, in a sense, there's this, we could say like a crevice of a sort where a lot of people will fall into something like a nothingness. And then what intelligent infinity is trying to get you to do is not to reside in nothingness. It's trying to get you after you recognize your true nature. It's trying to get you to express yourself, express yourself.  Oh, I was just thinking fireworks is like a fireworks comes with nothing and it becomes all of this show, right? That's exactly fireworks. Yeah, beautiful.  I'm reduced. I feel sometimes I've got this. I have this fireworks coming out of me. It's amazing. I think it was Osha actually said this thing that I want you to be a whole man. And what whole man means is he said that half people in spirituality, they go into nothingness and they reject this reality, right? Form reality and have the people go into after this reality and reject the nothingness, the spiritual in a silence and things. And they both have, they both not whole, right? So I want you to be a whole being which contains both, right? Perfect. I think that's a beautiful way of putting it. That that's the wholeness is having both. Yes. Yes. That's a good one from Osho and then Francis Lucille, who also was the teacher of Rupert Spira, Eternal Fireworks. There's another way of putting it. So, yeah, the wholeness is totally being able to recognize and then poof and the poof express yourself part. It is done from a place of knowing your nature because then you don't get intoxicated by Maya when you express yourself by the illusion by the dream. And rather, I don't think that Ulla is a different separate entity. But I know that underneath the costumes, we are the same one infinite expressing itself as the costumes. And therefore, I recognize that I would never commit malevolence against any of my own costumes. And actually, when I'm divinely aligned, when the costume is divinely aligned with its true nature, it can't help but just be in service to the other costumes. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Totally. Because when you have this realization, when you have this knowing within, it's like you just want everyone to fill this, to know this, right?  You just can't help but want to just be of service to that and guide towards their direction. It is kind of guiding towards the direction of having a better, happier life. But it's actually really direction towards yourself, right? From which then that better life unfolds. It's kind of living a life from within, from within out rather than from out in which we have been conditioned to do for so many years. And how we all start really. Yeah, that was good. That's this one. Living from within out. That's great. The fireworks comes because from that one place outward, right? It all comes from one point, from that one point and goes outward. Yes. But we kind of try to hold on to some of the things outside and then make ourselves something from it, right? Collect all of these things in our life and ways. And then from all those collections and ways of beings we want to come to some kind of way. But it's the other way around. That works much better. Anyway, amazing. You got to go inward first to go outward right. It's the sure cause of delight. I've been playing around with these little jingles. These cute jingles are so fun to play with in there. They've been told for 2,500 years of this parable of the prodigal sun.  That's going to force you to turn inward, which then you recognize that the nature of your awareness itself is that I am. And then the nature of that I am is bliss and peace. And then you live from within outward knowing that all is that I am and that therefore I'm not going to commit malevolence. I am only going to serve other costumes. And that's the game. Yeah, and I like that how the giggles come from out as well, right? Because we can realize those products and realize how it all works. You just can't help but have this little giggle off at myself, you know, doing exactly that a lot. And all sorts of different tunes and some come in different situations. Oh, that's one. It just becomes really more playful. And I've been ten years saying it just becomes you can't take things too seriously because, you know, you've created a lot of this, right? You know, you've created a lot of this suffering for yourself to wake yourself up.  Oh, oh, hi, great.   And that kind of sort of curiosity. They call it, you know, in child for instance and then curiosity. Yes. It is that. Yeah, eyes wide open. It's like, oh, this and that. Yes. But again, not taking too seriously, not getting lost in it. If we can. Yeah, there's these two good ones from Osho. I take your trouble seriously, but deep inside I am giggling. Exactly. And then there's, there's this one too, which is when I look at you, I am searching for a show. And that we do upon realization, like you said, it makes the when I remember when I was a kid, we would take, remember the, the excitement level that we would have for the very simple things, like when you have your little box and that you're and that you're drawing and, you know, on the show that I did on intelligent infinity a couple days ago, when I picked up the marker box to draw, I was like, Yay, marker box. And so that's what we're talking about.  And you just are in awe at that and every single perfection, perfection and just that rhythm is all that is meant by enlightenment. That is the nature is right here. Just bliss, peace, eternity, ineffability. I totally, I totally, I totally get it. And I love that thing of, you know, this letter what happens around and how much noise is around and how much playful, I thought, even seriousness or something, then that's, that's only like happening. And that letter beyond that is always this place of peace and effortlessness and, and, and it's just complete stillness, right? So it doesn't matter how much movement and how much noise is happening, you can still in all of this access that point of stillness and complete peace. And that just, that's just mind blowing. I think those two together at the same time is like, oh, it's seriously, it's just such beauty. Love it. To know. Yeah, go ahead. I've experienced that exactly being at the festival and being in the right in the middle of ecstatic dancing with about 200 people in a tent. You're like music really going and we're all dancing and suddenly I just felt like, oh, there's a Buddha inside of me, right?  I was still dancing, music was still going, but it was just this complete stillness of the same place on this incredible intensity that was going around me, right? Yeah. And doing it upon ecstatic dance is great. And then being able to do it upon a moment of stress or anxiety or depression or fear or jealousy or anger. Any of these negative valence states is even more Jedi full and masterful. And that's when we really become wizards when we get to that stage when you just get to watch the cloud of anger arise and then pass and just stay as that complete imperturbable, peaceful, eternal witnessing sky. In which the cloud happens.  But you maintain the simultaneity of being a giggle while being serious about your calling, right? That's sort of that's what that's what these two are like. There's the Buddha, the cosmic joke, and then there's the there's the Atlas, the serious calling, and you merge them together and you get a really well realized expression of infinity because it's not bathed in nothingness and it's not expressing itself from a place of lack. And so it's beautiful and harmonic. Yeah. Yeah, I tell you when it started with me really properly and deeply and I really never left with things. Tell us three years ago when I fell apart into pieces like seriously like hit the rock bottom beyond imagination. And I saw myself crushing into hundreds of pieces, right? And I look at those pieces and they're just like I don't know how I'm ever ever going to be able to put this together again, right? Like put myself back together. It was just like impossible. And then I look at those pieces and I had this moment of, of, of realization that if I am looking at those pieces and I have broken into 100 pieces, then who is this me who is into pieces and who is this me that is looking in the species, right? And that realization of that me that is looking at the pieces is, is, it was so strong for me. And it is free, very, very difficult, free process of, you know, putting pieces together in different ways. However, it has been very, very, very, very difficult. But that me, that presence has never left, right? So where there was happening in this whole process, the presence, the me, the I am presence was always, always there with me, with me, with the other me, right? So, yeah, and that was when it sat very, very deeply and strongly with me. And it has been a good thing. What was the catalyst, the drill sergeant of suffering for your awakening three years ago? What broke you into 100 pieces? Oh, God, it was just accumulation of events, the accumulation of, you know, a few years. But, but what was the tipping point was the last relationship I had, which I was so strongly in love, incredible. And that it broke my heart. There was severely, I would say, if there's something like that, like broken heart, because I know it isn't. But at that time, I felt like I was completely heartbroken on top of it, I become so seriously sick, physically ill. I came back from Bali with some strange disease, which was like knocking me completely off. I was not going to survive this. I'm still here. But yeah, so heartbrokenness with this very challenging physical illness put together. Yeah, that was it. That was it for me.  It finished me. I was it. It finished all that time. She was gone. She was gone. She was finished. Yeah. There they go. Yeah. I've gained something much more potent and beautiful and and permanent. If you can call it like that, right? Something that is indestructible. So in my distraction, I realized that I can't be destroyed. Like it's not possible.  All right. That's that in this moment of complete crash and not being able to find grand. We find completely new grand, the grander's grand, the back brand. Yeah. It reminds me a lot of when you say the realization awakens us to our indestructibility. It reminds me a lot of the Sufi metaphysics. What that all would do. Which means the unity of all finding. And it's referring to how each of these expressions of intelligent infinity have that GPS callback, as continue says, and then as we go and do this GPS callback process. That the Ulla costume will have her own unique taste and style of finding and union yoga. And with God with absolute with intelligent infinity to recommune with that to recognize oneself as that in the Atlas costume has its own union. And so what that would do is the unity of all of that finding happening like love, dub, love, dub, love, dub, like the heartbeat itself, like the unity of all of that finding. And that every single one of us has our own unique taste and style of finding. And so we become our realization itself is completely indestructible. Nobody can take that realization away. It's so sacred, divine, beautiful. Yeah. It is amazing. I love this watching stories of different people how they realized and how every story is different. Yet they realize the same, right? Only from different angle, like complicated, like just amazing. That's why when I was following before all of that, when I was following all different teachers, I kind of felt like, oh, maybe this is how I'm going to, you know, how this is going to happen for me. Or maybe like this and we can get stuck off how this is supposed to be look like, right? And never prepared actually to how it's going to unfold for that body vessel expression in a costume as you call it. I love this all different flavors and different ways. And I think that's the being of service for me. You know, because three times I was asked, so can you tell people how to get there? Can you tell people, can you tell people what to do? I can only guide them back to their own ways, right? To find, to follow that, that in a calling, that in a path, that in an excitement and go bit by bit with that and find confidence in following, absolutely following what's coming from here. And not from anywhere else. Even, even the teachings themselves, oh, themselves, I find their own unique way to, yeah, to from, huh, to from unique way of expressing that freedom, finding that freedom. Yeah, in a certain way, the, the Ulla costume flower has its unique aroma of expression. And then the Atlas costume flower has its own unique aroma and there's a simultaneity with the flower costume aroma finding its own unique way of expressing. While also asking other costumes, hey, you know, I'm suffering because I'm addicted to Maya. What do I do? And then the answer is go within. And when you go within, you become more and more, they're these little gym repetitions to become more and more aware of awareness itself. And in doing so, recognize the bliss and peace and also recognize that it itself is shared in personal, eternal, just like our source is. And so these realizations, they come to those as the flowers expressing that are feeling like there's Maya that is being intoxicative. And whereas if you're the flower that's expressing itself from a very conscious, very enlightened parents or an indigenous tradition where the child's birthed right into knowing themselves as infinity expressing itself and just complete awareness of nothingness and everythingness, what ego forms, what onion layers are there to shed. And so that's part of sort of the future that we're looking at is a planetary pedagogy that recognizes our true nature from birth and therefore never forms the egoic hitchhiker. Although it serves us as a drill sergeant of awakening, that was a very 3D, third density, matrix-y aspect to our creation. And we are birthing children into the 4D, fourth density, love, green, heart chakra, cosmic, unity consciousness era. I mean, even if you had parents that are quite, you know, already focusing on spiritual matters and, you know, more aware and things, it still was very hard, I think, anywhere, not everywhere, but in many places.  So it was no choice to not get, receive this conditioning from everywhere, like all different directions. Like home is just one little bit, right, and your parents, but everywhere else is exactly the same. You're just literally born into the conditioning, and then you're as a young person, ready to live, you know, home, parents' home.  For me, it was fully, because, you know, I'm from Poland, Catholic, Church, Communities, I would like, seriously, like, I remember having the feeling that I must be dumped here by mistake, right? There's something not right here. The conditioning, you know, brought me into my knees, it really did. This had to break down, this is what needed to break down into 100 pieces, right? It was that, which was quite a grace. And right now what's happening, I mean, more and more people are awakening and looking into who they truly are, where they truly come from, and being more and more connected with their inner self and in the source. There's a different style of bringing children, right? There's more opportunities to bring them differently. There are all different new projects, new schoolings, new ways of being, you know, going into the jungle, going completely off, going completely off and living a life in a different style. It's just amazing. It's so nice to see. I've got two children aged nine and ten. So as I'm going through my process, I have to undo or help them undo things that have already been done to them, right? Guide them and then guide them further. Luckily, I still have got about eight years before they leave. So, you know, I'm hoping to be able to participate to start them off at least on this beautiful way of knowing who you are, then going and creating, right, from that place. This is my favorite. This is my favorite. One of my favorite parts to the creation is post-realization to be a conscious parent. That's so cool. It's so cool. I know. Amazing. It's hard as well, right? Because as I go through my own process and I'm a single mother right now, I'm going through my own, or I have been going through my difficulties and then have to take care of them. But I can see myself acting so much different with them, right? It's like, wow. And part of that is all the things that we heal. This is the most mind-blowing thing because we're talking quantum physics, right? So whatever you're able to process and clear within your own being, it's been almost taking out automatically for the children, right? Because on energy level that has been sitting here and on energy level, it was passed on to a child. So if that energy, if that dense energy has been cleared, it's been cleared from all the places, right? It's been cleared. It's been cleared. You know, Tatali, if he has been done, cleared Tatali. But I see, as I change with my ways of being, I have been changing. I see how my children automatically pick up, right? And they change automatically. That's the most mind-blowing for me. Like, I don't even have to do anything with them and for them. All I have to do is here. Perfect. And that just comes out. It shows itself, you know, in that way. Yeah. Oh my gosh. When the parent is bliss, peace, presence, energy, it is exactly what is the mimetic component for the kid. Kids are constantly doing mimesis. A very important term from Rene Girard, which is that you take and you copy and paste to your own actions. We copy and paste. And if the parent is freaking out endlessly about existence, child will. If the parent has that bliss, peace, presence, energy because they've done the work themselves. Now what's happened, as you say, in things like we're finding in quantum biology that we have epigenetics. We have the DNA methylation, the histone tails. We have these biomarkers that also end up coming onto our code of life itself that then makes it so that when our kids also have kids that downstream, we're actually ending trauma. We're ending ego. We're ending density. We're ending conditioning, psychology, onion layers that are purely the product of a third density, creationary matrix, which was beautiful, but we are ascending beyond. Yeah, that's how they, I even saw how it happens when you've got ego, you've got a hurt in a child and that creates the ego. It increases the false beliefs, right? Because each child gets hurt and it starts creating the belief about the world, about the people, about themselves.  And secure being, which is the entity itself that is just living in the human body, right? That like that you go a hitchhiker, like we're talking about. Yeah, exactly. Yes. So and then if that kind of adult being has children, right?  That's going to create its own baby monster in this child, right? I call it a monster because it really looks like it sometimes, right? So this entity within the body of human being is then creating the baby entity in a small human being, right? That's how it's been passed from generation to generation. It's all kind of on the energy level happens. So the moment when a mother or father starts doing this work and clues the whole entity and clues itself from this entity and becomes pure being, that entity in child becomes just starts dissolving, right? Because it's created of the same substance. It's created from that one. So it starts dissolving on an energy level in the body of the child as well. It's beautiful.   This is why precision consciousness is so critical. It's so much about going in to recognize true nature to awaken to the already always free bliss piece, ineffable perfection, which then carries itself as presence energy, which then butterfly effects outward as precision consciousness to awaken other costumes. So powerful, right? So beautifully powerful. That's the power, isn't it? That's the true power when you become it, right? You could be it by when you're really fully conscious and aware of yourself as this power. You don't really have to do that much. There's not that much action in this. Just the presence of that power itself is patching. Like you walk into the place and all the people around are transformed in some ways, right? But you're just by that energy that you carry. They're just being transformed without even knowing, right? They're being touched on some levels. And some of them I feel, you know, more lighter and beautiful. And some of them I feel even more triggered, right? But whatever needs to be doing that energy, it just is happening. I had those experiences three times as well. When I felt so fully in that power that I walked into the place with people around and I knew, I knew, I just knew that they were all touched, right? And I didn't even have to speak to anyone. I didn't have to do anything. Just carrying that presence with you is just the most potent thing for transformation. And we are that. We can tell the energetic signature when we are that. It sounds and vibrates and feels like a very warm, warm, warm. And then you can tell that when it's not that, when you haven't glimpsed, tasted, recognized your nature, the energy. In a sense, it comes off like this and I need this and I need that. And can I take this, extract this from Maya and the vibration is more like... A lot of noises. A noise demonstration. So which one do we want to butterfly effect outward? Right? That's the question. That's where the will, the choice, the discernment comes. Which one? Which one? Which one? Which one? Which one? Which one? Which one? Do you want God's love light? Do you want that warm, warm, warm? The harmonic? Or do you want what is out of tune and creating war and poverty and destruction and suffering and malevolence on the planet? Which one? Yeah, it's like playing instrument. I was in tune and it creates the most beautiful standing clear sand, right? And having those instruments completely messed up and a lot of the plays and then trying to make a send of it. There's a lot of that kind of sand going on in the world right now. Distorted. Yeah. Symphony analogy for the nature of reality is very beautiful because it enables intelligent infinity to both be one infinite creator symphony, yet also have the individuated firework aspect to it, which is that the Ulla costume gets to be this incredible violinist. Meanwhile, this Atlas costume gets to play the saxophone. And in doing and recognizing our nature as that, it makes it so that we can both celebrate the ineffable unity being expressed as this very illusory yet gorgeous diversity. Yeah, totally. I like that universe is where they put a dash in the middle. It's a universe, right? It's like one big song. Yeah, it's so beautiful that it's even called like this, right? It's just like that's what it is. And then we have all this different tones and instruments and different rhythms and it just creates the one big symphony because it's so beautiful. I love this moment because we used to live life being the doer of things, being the doer and this is all I'm saying. She thinks this and she's doing this and she's doing that. But actually when you are not, when Ulla goes out of the way and I am this body as the body vessel, it's being played like an instrument by the divine power. And when this instrument is being danced by the power, just nothing compares to this feeling, just nothing compares to that feeling really of being played rather than playing, being danced rather than dancing. It's a completely different experience. Yes. It's this effortlessness, it's this joy, it's this... Yeah, because on the core we are just so beautifully, it's so beautifully joyfully playful and ecstatic, right? It really is. The whole creation is just like, the experience is like one big ecstatic creation. There's so much ecstasy filling in all of this. Like even how the flowers opens up, it's just like so much ecstasy in it. Or when the wave hits the rocks, right? It's just, honestly, it's just one big ecstasy sometimes for me. Perfect. I'm like, oh my God, what of this? And the power that moves it all, the power that moves it all, and we are that. Ooh, that was a good one. Let's add that one in there. Boom. We are the one power that moves it all. Yeah. It is, it's so, for when you really like to hear it, it's so obvious that it's just one breath. It's not many breaths, it's just one breath breathing at all, right? It's just one heart beating through each of us, right? It's just one mind that works through all of us, right? It's one body. It's just one body moves us all, that is being moved and we are all part of that one body. So there's no more, you know, that's the one. That's the one heart, one love, one mind, one body, one laugh, it's just all, that's the one, one beautiful one, that's the realization of that.  And they all separate, yeah, in a kind of, in a way, because they all separate cells. However, there are one body, they are working in that unity for the good of the body, right? So I see when we fall back to where we came from, we are this healthy cells that are working towards the good of the totality of the body, right? That's where we become automatically in the service because that's what we do, that's what we're here for. We are to work towards the good of this body, right? That is being created. So we become this, you know, carries of the information and of the laugh, of laugh information, health, vitality, happiness, joy, and all of the, all of wellness and well-being of this universe body means that work. Those two analogies merged together are so beautiful. The symphony with the body analogy, where playing in tune is the very healthy cell and playing out of tune is the pathological cell. Yep, exactly. Those are so true. And there's one heart, one mind, one love, one body, one power and in the recognizing that one is the spark of intelligent infinity that can be analogized as a neuron as a unique gift, a unique firework, a unique expression in the one heart, one mind, one love, one body, what more could enlightenment be than sinking into that perfection that is fireworking and filling oneself, feeling the already present bliss piece and butterfly affecting that out. Yeah, totally. And you see, once you become one with the whole body, one with the one mind, one with one heart and one love, you have got access to intelligence, right? To that intelligence. So you have got access to so much information that can be then utilized and used towards creating more good brain, towards the service, like they call it, you know, to be in service, because all that information is available to you. Like if you have got, if you are stuck with a little human mind, you've got only this much information as this box can contain, right? That's as much as it can contain. Okay, but when this goes away, it just opens up, right? And that's all they have access to information and whatever needs to come to you always comes at the right time. You don't even have to think about it. You don't have to go and read books. You don't have to, you've got access through your body, through this vessel, you've got access to all of it, right? You can access the creation of the universe through connecting with, you know, what your body is built of. I had this beautiful journey back to stars exploding, right? Oh, that's what it means on the stardust. I know now because I have traveled back there, right? Because I connected it with my body wisdom, with the information stored in the body. And there we are. Oh, the stars exploded. And, you know, it just was shown to me. And so many things are shown to me like this, which I wouldn't, okay, I could read some books about it, right, and stuff, but it's completely different than seeing it and knowing it this way than just reading it as a story from some book. All of this information is stored. We have it. It's like we are the, we are the library of the universe, right? We really are. We are the full library of the whole universe. Once you become one with it, you've got access to this library. There's some moments when I had this openings and I was shown how the universe is created and how the world is created, like the world, the thought, the intention and comprehension and then action and how it's created. I'm like, oh my God, this is like material for free books, right? I've stood down. But of course, this kind of went away and I can't deliver this information in easy ways anymore. Only bits of it are left with me. But you just get access to this.  That's the beauty of the power of the intelligence. I like to call it an engine as well. The engine that runs it all right as well. Yeah, the library is talked about also in the spiritual as the Akashic records. And so you'll never come to the end of all of the different ways that you can explore of all the different ways that you can express all the different ways that God's love, light, lila can play with itself. Never, ever, ever, ever possible to come to an end. You're the source of infinite possibilities and just relax into the embodied recognizing that I am that. And it's so natural to have the feeling of this ineffable bliss piece for the other costumes in the I am to not feel that is a trauma, is a wound, is a kink twist distortion that is very naturally being expressed and yet is seeking the healing of said confusion back into alignment with that love, light, bliss piece. So naturally there's the feeling of being in service to that. Yeah, totally. Because you see I was thinking about it because I was asked by someone to write a written article and I wanted to write about how the caterpillar became a butterfly, right? Because when I look at this previous form of self it was almost like it's this little caterpillar walking so close to ground, you know, only saying so much because she's so tiny, she couldn't see past the glass, right? Because the bird is kind of completely covered, right? So then you just leave it under the caterpillar but you're living quite happily or whatever you just accept the caterpillar and you just live like that. A lot of people live like a caterpillar and they are okay with it, right? However, there's some caterpillars when they just walk and there's something like just something doesn't feel 100% right. Like they have a feeling that there's more, that there's something else, that life is a bit more than this, right? Since the beginning I was born, I didn't even know about soul and stuff. I already knew that there's a part of me that has this body and part of me that never dies, right? I knew this before I was told about soul. I also knew I had this thing coming like I'm here for something bigger, I'm here for something bigger, I'm here for something bigger. And I never knew what a something bigger was I thought it was going to be a pop star or something like that, right? I thought something bigger meant that I'm going to be famous but of course now I know that wasn't exactly that. But anyway, so there are those caterpillars that just feel that there's something else there, right? And these are the people that start kind of looking around and these are the people that we are here like once you open your wings and you are a butterfly and you fly, right? And you jump from flower to flower. When you see these caterpillars that are thinking oh my God, they're looking at the butterfly and they have this feeling that there must be something there. These are the people, these are the other costumes that we just like want to like, yes, like we tell you all about it, right?  And there's this beautiful period of going in a cocoon and becoming pile of goo, which I know very well. When you go over a period of time when you complete goo in a darkness and you are going through all this wonderful, like you've just been disintegrated completely. You feel like dying because you are in a way the caterpillar is dying, right? And the butterflies are going to come out of it. So, these are the costumes that I am very excited about though. For me, this is the excitement, this is the excitement of like, yes, you're right thinking this, right? You are right in thinking, you know, that there's something else and something more. And I saw this picture yesterday, it said how to become a butterfly. You have to want it so much that you're prepared to give up being caterpillar, right? I love this, I really love it. You have to want it, you have to want it so much, so much that you're prepared to give up being caterpillar. And I think that's the beautiful way to, yeah, my own way, which I discovered yesterday of, you know, speaking about it really. And having this view, this little view from the ground and having this view as a butterfly, but then you've got bird's view, right? Which is even further than that. And it can go on and on. And like I said, it's never end to how far this can take you because there's so many different facets of true I've also realized, you know, there's one that says that, which is true, that this is a dream. It doesn't even have reality, right? Because I have also experienced this being, like, completely unreal. Like, I forgot how to call it, I forgot words now. Like, simulation, you know, like a complete, and it hasn't, I didn't have any real substance to me at all. I was completely unreal and every experience was not real. I knew that I'm not driving a car, I just created the experience of driving a car and going from one place to another, but it never happened. I just created the experience. I've just created the experience of doing it, but I've never actually done that ever, right? So, and then you go, then you have so many facets of true that at different angles to look at it and every one of them, you know, all of them are equally true, but they're just different angles to look at it, right? Yeah, there's so much good stuff there. There's the simultaneity of there never being a caterpillar turning into a butterfly and yet also the only constant being that the caterpillar endlessly turns into butterflies and that can we go beyond both and just be ineffable perfection and can we also recognize that given that we are in the middle of this dreamed metamorphosis, can we inspire and butterfly effect out the earnestness and the desire to give up the caterpillar for the butterfly? Yeah, but then after that, even give out the butterfly, right? Give up the butterfly. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. That was what Tini was saying on this video just a while ago when he said give up all your ideas, all your beliefs, like, you know, can you give them all of that point of views, right? Point of view, he called it. It's all, you know, if you take, if you consider that all of this is point of view, then if you give all of them up, what's left, even you, even this body, even all of the caterpillar, all form of butterfly, all whatever other form, it's still point of view, right? So this tree is point of view, right? This world is a point of view. I had this lovely conversation with my friend. He said, yeah, but even a lot of physics, you know, we can argue that there are only beliefs, right? They agreed upon beliefs as well on some deeper level. Actually, when he said that, he said, oh my God, yes, it's still belief, right? And when I go, when as far as the level of physics and stuff becoming beliefs that completely wipe off the whole world again for me, when even that is a point of view, you can go as far as completely erasing all points of view and coming to the place of zero, zero point. And you give up the egoic conditioned psychology, separation, affinity, form, layers of identity, beliefs, perceptions, sensations, emotions, thoughts, which is very much like has been taught by the neti neti. Not this, not that. To become aware of awareness and then to become aware of oneself as the absolute, and then to include peacefully, blissfully all big bangs, all creation, being the source of infinite possibility, and then to just rest in that very beyondness, the very eternal stage on which the lila takes place as God's love light, the very white network theory, the very warm, warm, warm, dreamed metamorphosis, warm, warm, warm. The same speed at which the hummingbird flaps its wings that we make big bangs and use the vehicle that we've designed to experience those big bangs and to recognize that those are all beautiful dreams and there is this stillness behind and beyond at all. Just be, be beyond, be a kid in awe, dancing, playful, butterfly effecting out that vibration. Yeah, it is beautiful. It is really beautiful and it is I find the challenge in that as well, I think it was in the fun of that last year when I have really hit the absolute applause beyond the wall doesn't exist and this was, this felt home, like the home and I have later, some part of this rejected this expression and we wanted to reject the wall, we wanted to reject the expression, the form, a wall and it took me quite some time to bring myself back into expression and the realization that, and that actually also started at the very beginning when I joined a group only last month properly. I already had some kind of experiences of soul retriever or things like that but I think you had to do something with video of Vintyna, I'm not sure exactly how I happened to carry them in them but it brought me to realization deeper realization that this expression and the place beyond the wall they also managed somewhere and at some point I had to accept that if God and beyond God I don't know if it's the right way to say but that's how I feel how it feels for me. It is that if you didn't want this expression you would never created it, right? It would always stay the same and never create for that and we would never be here somehow the idea came somehow the comprehension or suspicion or thought, somehow it came this desire for something else, right? Or getting to know itself through something else. So it's all equally valid, that's what I had to come and accept and from that place it's building more and more absolutely loving the expression loving the form, shape, expression and making fun with it and play and just fireworks, like this is exactly fireworks came back, right? Into this expression and I was go, I'm back right here, I'm back but in completely different from completely different place again even, you know, from deeper space and if I can colour like that I still quite find difficult to ward just things, right? I find difficult to ward all of that but that's kind of why I feel we are the will for possibility, we are the will for creativity, we are the will for expression, we are the will for fireworks, we are the will for lila, all dreamed yet so beautiful the Atlas and Ula costumes had a very good dialectic, super good the eye with itself through these costumes was super high level, it was really good I'm so grateful, that was fire thank you it's just so nice, that's why thank you, I'm really grateful for the invitation right now with you and the group is such joy to be able to connect on this level and to be able to resonate on this level is we've done animal meet on the street have a beer or have a dance which is also called we meet like that as well, but we've met so much deeper than this, right?  It's just the one expressing in this different voices shapes right now, but it's picking for both of us equally and knowing and seeing that and feeling it from both views, right? I'm to each other with pure joy from me, really soon to also gather more in person as well as this hyper-ascensionary pure collective to both rise up, purify as well as anchor the architectures to move more costumes from the 3D to the 4D to unlocking that heart chakra to get to that cosmic unity, wakefulness, so what we are up to and you can join in if you guys would like we'll put some information below to No Limits Society for the Family as well as some of Ula, where's a good place for people to follow you online, website, Instagram, YouTube, do you have any of the socials? I don't wish I don't use that much, I'll probably use a bit more as soon once I get because I'm in this transition time here, physical ward, I do use Facebook as well, this doesn't make me, but Ula yes, I'm on the bottom of them is the same name. We'll put the Facebook and Instagram in the bio Yeah and is this becoming this integrator cells, right? The other cells are knowing what they're here for but they are here for the good of all, right? That we're all here for creating harmony, creating harmony and love and peace and sharing and cooperating and working together, seemingly separate yet one underneath, yeah It's an exciting time, that's great So we got a wrap Thank you everyone for tuning in, we are very grateful for you, we would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below, write us a message down there your thoughts on the conversation and like the video if it brought you value, it helps the algorithm share your thoughts on the conversation share the video if it brought you value, it helps the algorithm and subscribe if you haven't and share the video with people that you feel like this would positively influence and that is all, we adore you infinitely That's the future as well we might play like we some enemies or boyfriends or partners or parents or ex-partners and we might find this strange different interactions and relating but underneath there's nothing but love for each other, just pure love for each other and for every single expression to get to that place of, to find that place of this pure love unconditional and then you go into the world and you just can't help but love people, you just can't help but love everyone I can't help but just really, really want to bring more of this and share more of it and spread it and make it a new virus make it the new catchy the new catchy virus that's what's happening in a way, we are in full blown of it I think, the corona is a distraction to actually see what's happening properly it's just really stirring it up and bringing it more what I've learned as well is when the dark comes in the only comes to bring more light when something is taking us down is to find our power, to find our light from within when I was pushed and pressed into the floor that's where the lights were found so we're beautifully getting there we're ready there anyway, it's not a way yeah we created the drill sergeant for the awakening of suffering, yeah it's so beautiful and nobody actually in the final analysis nobody in the final analysis I know because the dark and the light they are like lovers, the dancers the dark and the light in this world, they are the ongoing dancers they complement each other, they enhance each other we need some more light so we're going to bring more dark to bring more lighter again, it's just a beautiful play that we are able to witness both are costumed as the one light, the one monist light that is costumed as half light and half dark dancing that's why the Taijitsu a thousand years ago they knew across all these cultures which was the monist and the dualistic yin yang together in one symbol and you have the nature right there beautiful, thanks everybody for tuning in we will see you soon Ula, I will end the stream and you and I will stay in here for a bit okay, thank you very much


And the time is up, so good afternoon, everyone. I'm Wu Jiang, and I work at Fiber Home in China. And today, we'll talk about VMHA. And there is the topic of better VMHA solution, three brain solving and host network for awareness. And so here is the agenda. Today's presentation consists of five parts. And you can see them from the screen. And OK, let's get started. As we all know, the high availability of VM was born with visualization technology and was a very creative feature at that time. In today's cloud scenarios, more and more applications are beginning to move to the cloud and continuous. But for some legacy service, are they still unreformed or cannot be reformed in short term? So they still need HA features to ensure the reliability of their applications. But we analyzed the traditional HA solutions. And there are also still some disadvantages, such as rely on IPMI and can only handle single things and almost no solution to the three brain problem. So based on the analysis, we want to build a better solution of VMHA. So before the implementation, we put forward two requirements for design and feature. And the design must integrate with our product. And it must be independent of OpenStack and try not to modify native codes. And in the feature era, it must be able to handle the three brain problem and some complex faults. So there are other goals. And next, I'll begin to explain our method. So this is the architecture of our HA solution. It based on the CentOS and OpenStack. And the shared storage we chosen is ZFFS or NFS. So you can see from the graph, there are three main layers. And the top layer is controller clusters. At this layer, we've developed the HA stack component, which act as a brain to control the global HA behavior with its agents. And the bottom layer is computer nodes. And here, we also implement a lock manager called fitlock for split brain protection. And at last, three clusters built by ECD in the middle other bridge, they help HA stack to sense the status of each nodes. And the combination of the components above constitutes our VMHA solutions. And this table shows some specific information about each component, including the description and deployment and reliability requirements. And I'll now describe them one by one here. And this diagram shows where each component in the system is deployed and where it's connected. So it's notable that, besides IPMI network, the controller and computer nodes are connected by three major network plans. They are management, storage, and service network. And we'll use this in the following explanations. And let's take a look at the usage scenarios. This graph illustrates how the system interacts with end users. So for the general users, it could create HA VMs and modify HA attributes. And their HA VMs will automatically recover for a false failure. And for the admins, they could configure the HA strategy and other patterns. And they could also turn off the HA ability when needed. And for the HA style itself, it provides host for detection and the HA task tracking capabilities. And in some scenarios, it also needs to perform fencing action. And above are the most common interaction scenarios of the system. And here, I also introduce a term about fencing. It means the process of locking resources away from a node whose data is on 13. So in our solution, it means stop related VMs when the host's data is on 13. So after introducing the scenarios, let's see the workflow of several HA actions. The first one is create a HA VM. And similar to the common VM creation process in NOAA, you only need to add HA's metadata when you create a HA VM. And then LabWord will go to Feedlock to register the VM before it's running. And the second one is HA. The HA stack is periodically pulling the status of each nodes. And once a host network is abnormal, the HA process will be triggered. And after a necessary basic check and storage detection, the HA VM will be evacuated for the 40 host that complies with the HA strategy. And then the HA stack use task tracking to ensure the HA action is complete. And the last workflow is about fencing. And the HA stack agent will continue to maintain a heartbeat connection with the shared storage. So once a host heartbeat is interrupt, the fencing event will be reported to HA stack. And if the agent gets a response in time, it will follow the instructions. Otherwise, execute fencing by default. And here, I also want to clarify the scope of HA detections. So when will it trigger HA? An exception occurred on the host network plan. And this exception conforms to the HA strategy. Then the HA stack will trigger the HA action. And when will not trigger HA? So when VM status is not active, stopped, error, or internal exceptions occurred inside the VM, will not trigger. And when the VM virtual network is abnormal, we still won't trigger HA because HA stack only handles the physical network failures of a host. And the VM virtual network failure are still handled by Neutron. And by the way, when the core components are abnormal, the HA process will still not be triggered. So I've already introduced some basic information about the system. And next, I began to explain the two key features in our solution. And the first feature is sleep ring sewing method. And there is two questions that need to be clarified first. So what's the sleep ring? It's a result of cluster partition where each side believes the other is dead and then proceed to take any resources as though the other side no longer own any resources. So what's the influence on the system? And I will use this following graph to give an example. And so when the controller finds the computer node is disconnected, it's difficult to judge whether the broken link is caused by the host failure or the network failure. So if it rushes to trigger the VM evacuating at that time, it causes when the same disk mounted to be running on both hosts. And therefore, the VM concurrence where the same disk may cause the irreversible data corruption. That's unexaptable. So to solve this problem, we've implemented a read and write lock manager called FitLock. And in addition to avoid invalid VM fencing actions, we also achieved a set of fencing protection mechanism in HA stack. And please see the graph on the right. And in our solution, the FitLock will ensure the right rights are unique. So the same VM cannot be started at the same time. It fundamentally avoids the occurrence of sleep-brain problem. OK, on this page, let's see the principle of FitLock. And a FitLock is a lock manager built on shared storage, like cell lock. And you can see from the graph, all hosts are located a unique lock space on shared storage. And each host has read access to its own lock space and only has read access to others. And each host periodically updates its own time step. And the host list renewal is equal to all that hosts the VM list renewal. And here, the most important thing is if a host list is being renewed, then the VM list is owned cannot be acquired until it has expired. So that means a VM that is already running on one node cannot start simultaneously on another node. Therefore, there won't be two identical VMs in the system. That's the way we solve the sleep-brain solving method. And what's the difference between FitLock and the cell lock? And first of all, the lock granularity of the two is different. The cell lock uses each VM disk as a lock, but others use this VM itself. And in addition, the behavior of the two, when dealing with some scenarios, are also different. For example, when the heart rate lost, the cell lock will wait and the QHA VMs under, but the FitLock will ask the HA stack to judge where a socket. And in process, restart scenarios, if the cell lock is restarted, the locks with were lost because part of data are stored in memory. So this is equivalent to a malfunction and will lose protection here. However, under FitLock, we've achieved a fencing protection here to prevent such failures. So it has much better reliability. And next, let's see the performance of FitLock in some specific scenarios. The case one is the simplest. When a HA VM is a point, the VM list will be registered in the lock space. And case two, when the shared storage is accessible, then the HA stack agent will report fencing event to HA stack and will wait for a response. So if the agent gets a response in time, it will follow the instructions execute fencing or not fencing. In these situations, HA stack will find the storage is abnormal, so no need to fencing. That means the HA stack agent will get not fencing comment and all HA VMs will remain here. And case three, when the computer node loses connections with controller nodes. So you can see in this case, the original host can still update heartbeat on shared storage. It still has the list, so the VM will still be running and cannot be started on another host. So that means the sleep ring will not occur. And the last case resembles an isolated island. When the computer node is disconnected from all nodes, that means all heartbeat and the fencing event cannot be parsed outside. So in our solution, due to sleep ring protection, the HA VMs will be stopped at original host by a HA stack agent. This is because when the host is completed interrupt, all HA VMs will be evacuated to another host at that time. So if fencing is not performed at original host, once the host communication with them, all HA VMs will continue to operate disk in a short term. That means the sleep ring may occur. So this is the reason why we need to execute fencing in this solution. And OK, we just introduced the feedlock. And then I'll start to explain the second key feature about host network fault awareness. And you can see from the graph we've introduced the ECD between controller nodes and the computer nodes. And corresponding to three physical network, we established three clusters on ECD. There are management, service, and storage clusters. And from the bottom side, the HA stack periodically updates the heartbeat of each networks every 20 seconds to the ECD. And from the upper side, HSTAC obtains the connectivity of each nodes by reading the three network clusters from ECD. And once a host network heartbeat is updated within two minutes, then the HA process will be triggered according to the configure strategy. So through this up and down update mechanism, the HSTAC will ensure the perception of each nodes. And about communication method, the interaction between each nodes is through ECD API. And according to different message types, we adopted two transmission methods here. The heartbeat of each network is updated by corresponding network plan and some key messages like phasing event are reported through three network plans together. And the HSTAC will remove redundancy during the processing. And about HSA strategy, we use a JSON template to configure. And the default strategy of HA is shown in the below at the table. And you can see from it. And for example, we are triggered the HA process when the story plan is interrupted. And of course, you can customize the strategy based on your own business needs. And so here, the two key features in the system are introduced. And then I'll show you what are the related features we've done in the solution. And speaking of a long-running task, we naturally think of how to judge its execution result. So therefore, we implement a task tracking module in HSTAC. And all HA actions will be tracked here. And the field tasks will be retried five times by default. And if a task still fills, an alarm will be generated to remind the administrator that HA recover fills. And to prevent excessive HA parallel, we've also developed the flow control in the solution. And you can see from the graph, we use this dynamic lens variable queue to control the global HA rate limit. And the default length is 20. And it supports runtime modification. That means you can change it at any time and no need to restart the process. And in addition, the parallel HA rate limit of one horse is five by default. And that means the horse that exists, this threshold, will be filtered out during the horse selection. And this slide is used to introduce some of the protection mechanism of the system. So first of all, all the related process are protected by watchdog. And in addition, we implement the two protection mechanism when large scale failures occur in the data center. And on the right is the illustration of the features. And you can see from it, if more than 50% of the horse are done, that means the data center may have experienced a major failure. So the HA stack will stop itself to avoid when evacuating. And if the horse recovery reaches 70%, the HA stack will automatically recover to continue to provide HA capabilities. And these two params are also configurable. And we also implement a feature called HA maintenance to turn off or turn on the HA functions. This is for some certain maintenance scenarios, like OS update or the story expansion or upgrade. So the different performance of the system when using this feature are described in the table. Here are some events and alarms related to HA. And there are four categories, VM, horse, storage, and ACD. OK, at last, let's take a look at the test results. And in our lab, we use a total of 38 computer nodes. And the test tools we chosen are rarely hit as subscripts. And we use this FIO to pressurize the storage and use Zabix to monitor the performance. And in this test, we create a thing of 1,000 VMs to be recovered by interrupting more than 50% of the horse. And with different rate limit value and whether to pressurize the storage, we divided the test into three scenarios like this. And after testing, in the first two scenarios, without storage pressurization, the recovery time of single VM is within one to two minutes. And the total recovery time of 41 and 20 minutes, respectively. And in the last scenarios, with storage pressurization, the recovery time of single VM is almost two minutes. And total recovery time is extended to just over one hour. And here are some actual cases of our products covering up hybrid and the private cloud scenarios like this. So about future works of the solution, at the functional level, we plan to implement the integration of QGA and HA stack so that we can handle some force inside the VM. And at the usability level, we also intend to graphically display the HA strategy template so that the admin can easily customize the required HA policy on the OM portal. And at the performance level, the recovery time needs to be reduced as much as possible. So there are the related references. And so at this point, my presentation has been fully introduced. So are there any questions? Hi. My name is Sampath. And I'm the current PGL for the project, Masakari. Yeah, in the open stack, we have kind of a similar project. And as far as I understand from your presentation, we already have most of the features. And do you have any plans to integrate with Masakari or contribute to Masakari? Yes. I made some combination of the HA stack and the Masakari. Yes. And how to say? Firstly, the force source is different. The Masakari supports VM failure, process failure, and the host power failures. And the others is to do with the host network failures. Exactly. Yes, this is one. And secondly, from the functional combination, the HA stack provides the split-bring solving method and can communicate via three network plans together. But we don't provide APIs outside this one. And the second is, now, we doesn't provide VM internal fault detection yet. OK, thank you. As I said, we do the same thing in different way. Yes, so maybe we will join us. I'll discuss it with you later. Thank you. Thank you. OK. So are there any questions? I want to know, are there any plans to build up open source projects for this kind of solution to provide it to others? You need to, you mean, can I provide? How to say? Now, this is a private solution of our products. And we are preparing for this to put a repo in the GitHub. And we are preparing for this. And it will be announced when we provide this on our app. And we are preparing for provide the download of this HH stack on GitLab. But now, it's not yet. So we add it later. We will announce it on our official website. I would like to extend an invite for you to join the activities of the self-healing SIG, a special interest group. We would love to have your input and expertise and experience in this is one of many self-healing scenarios. And we are trying to build up upstream solutions for all of those within the community. So the more people we have connected working on the same stuff together, the faster we can go. So if you'd like to join that SIG, that would be great. Thank you. Thank you very much. OK, that's all. Thank you very much. Thanks.
