Okay, in this video, what we need to do, first of all, is get those propellers spinning. But there are a few things that we need to take into consideration before we get into that. And the first thing is, if they're spinning and we want to move the plane, let's have a go at this, can't see me, I don't know, there it is, so I want to move the plane, the propellers don't go with it, which is not what we're looking for at all. So we need to get that set up so that wherever the plane goes, the propellers will follow. And we're going to do that through parenting. So in order to parent, we need to first of all click on the propeller. We're then going to shift click the body of the plane and then we're going to press P on the keyboard. What that means to us is that now, whenever we click on the plane and move it, we know the propeller is always going to go with it. Okay, and that is really important to make sure that the rest of the animation does what we want it to do. Okay, a short step but an important one. In the next one, we'll get the propeller spinning so that it makes the plane look like it can actually fly. I will see you in the next video for that.


The Russian authorities started propaganda for a new mobilization. Propaganda videos have begun circulating on Russian social media in recent days to encourage Russians to enlist in the armed forces and fight in Ukraine, despite the Kremlin having denied needing more recruits. In an attempt to attract more volunteers to the front, the videos posted on social networks in the past few days are trying to appeal to Russian men through the narratives of patriotism, morality, and upward social mobility. It is unclear whether the videos are state-sponsored. One of the videos posted on December 14th on the Kremlin-controlled social media platform VKontakte features a young man who is choosing to fight instead of partying with his male friends and then surprised everybody by buying himself a car with the money he made from fighting on a military contract. In another video posted on December 15th on VKontakte, the former girlfriend of a soldier is newly impressed by his courage and begs him to get back together with her. The example shows a middle-aged man leaving the factory job that doesn't pay him enough to sign a military contract and go to the front. Another of the videos also posted by VKontakte shows a group of 30-something well-off Russian men loading a car as they are asked by elderly women where they are going. One of the men replies, to Georgia, forever. When one woman spills a bag of groceries, the men just get into the car and leave instead of helping, while younger Russian men rush to pick up the groceries. The boys have left. The men have stayed. One of the elderly women concludes. The videos were posted to a group on VKontakte called iMobilize. Many videos portray the war as an escape for men from the bleak reality of their daily lives of drinking vodka, poverty, and helplessness. Meanwhile, reports and complaints of shortages of provisions and equipment in the Russian military continue to emerge.


Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character. Make no mistake, the people you surround yourself with, the people you allow to have influence in your life can affect you spiritually, whether that be negatively or positively. And here the Scripture is talking about the fact that surrounding yourself with ungodly people and allowing them to have influence in your life can corrupt that character that Christ is trying to perfect in you. I'm talking now about the dangers of ungodly spiritual transport. Now please understand I'm going to come at this subject from a very biblically balanced way, so it might be a little bit different from what you've heard. We're going to ground this in the truth of God's word. We're going to glean from Scripture the truths that will help to protect us against this ungodly influence, especially now listen. If you're serious about serving the Lord, this is an important message. This is important for every true believer who wants to stand their ground, to hear, to know, to heed this word. So what is spiritual transfer? Well, to summarize it and put it simply, spiritual transfer is simply influence. Spiritual transfer is when those around us affect us according to what spirit they're walking in. So if someone is godly and they have influence in your life, well this is going to cause you to have an increased hunger for God. This is going to inspire you to read the word, to pray, to commit to ministry. But if you spend time with ungodly people who have influence over you, well that's going to do just the opposite. Now, transfer of deception takes place through shared actions and influence. This is about guarding your spiritual purity. I want you to write this in the comment section, whether you're watching live or on the replay. Keep me pure. I want you to write that right now and let that be a public prayer. Let that be something that you're genuinely asking the Lord, Lord, in this hour, Lord in these times, Lord in this corrupt world, keep me pure. Let the influence of the Holy Spirit within me guide my life as opposed to the influence of the world around me. Now as I said, we're going to address this subject from a very grounded, biblical, true perspective. And in order to do so, we of course have to look to the scriptures. So let me just right off the bat, speak to you about this balance that we need to strike when it comes to maintaining purity in our lives. Now, when somebody hears the word balance, sometimes they think compromise, but that's not at all what's taking place here. When I talk about balance, I'm talking about avoiding the extremes of apathy and paranoia. Some believers walk apathetically toward the matters of the spirit and in doing so, they open themselves to spiritual attack. They never talk about the supernatural. They mock those who talk about the supernatural and they're wide open to enemy attack because they're ignorant of his ways. And then there are believers who are so demon obsessed, so hyper focused on darkness that they forget the power of the light. So we want to avoid spiritual apathy and we want to avoid spiritual paranoia. Rather, I'm talking about vigilance. I'm talking about having a discerning, grounded mind, being rooted in the word, being rooted in the character of Christ and trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to keep you. So let me say this right off the bat and some of you won't like this, but it's the truth and you need to hear this. And if it's different than what you've been taught, at least weigh what I'm saying against the Scripture and not just verses that you've heard quoted. Actually go and study the verses that are being quoted to you and see what they really mean. So let me start with this. No biblical example can be found of a demonic spirit being transferred to a believer through someone's touch or just being around someone who's demonically influenced. We don't see this in Scripture. In fact, the Bible tells us very plainly in 1 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 19, don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself. Now listen, I got a couple more verses we'll read, but first I want to say this. I know that when we hear that because it might be a little bit different than what we've been taught, the initial reaction is to become defensive or to say something like, David, you're putting people in danger by telling them that the enemy can't attach to them or inhabit them. Look, the enemy, demonic beings, cannot attach to or inhabit the believer. That's as solid as any biblical doctrine as you can find. But this doesn't mean that we can therefore drop our guard and just walk apathetically toward the things of the spirit because the enemy can attack, the enemy can deceive, the enemy can torment, the enemy can distract, the enemy can confuse. There are all sorts of ways that the enemy can attack and affect the believer. So don't hear what I'm not saying.  No, that is true that the enemy can affect us, but what I'm saying specifically here, hear what I'm saying specifically. I'm saying that the enemy cannot physically attach to your being, to your body, your soul or your spirit, nor can he inhabit your body, your soul or your spirit. The Bible again clearly tells us, as I just read, that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Watch this first John 5.18, plain as day, plain as it can be in Scripture. We know that God's children do not make a practice of sinning. Here it's not saying that you live in sinless perfection on this side of eternity. Rather the Scripture is saying that you're not living a lifestyle, a practice of sinning, a willful intention of a lifestyle of sin. That's not what true believers live. True believers strive for holiness. They don't just accept sin and say, oh, well, I'm not perfect. So we know that God's children do not make a practice of sinning. For God's Son holds them securely, the evil one cannot touch them. What does that mean? I mean, from the Greek, the evil one cannot touch them. Well, it means the evil one cannot touch them. The enemy can't touch you. Demons can't touch you. The devil can't touch you. He can attack you, say, Brother David. That sounds like it's a contradiction. No, no, no. The Scripture very clearly warns us of the deception of the enemy, not the direct attachment of the enemy. And that's a very important distinction. Maybe we'll explore more of that a little bit later. But first, I wanna establish this point of avoiding paranoia. James 4-7, so humble yourselves before God. And what does the Bible say? Resist the devil and he will what? Flee from you. Well, just resisting him and he'll flee. This is not even going to the extremes of rebuking him, which we sometimes should do. This is just a matter of resisting him and he flees. And so that is what the Bible tells us concerning demonic influence in the life of the believer. We're protected by the Holy Spirit. The evil one cannot touch you. And if you resist the enemy, he ceases his attack and flees from you. And by the way, temptation is one of those main attacks that's being addressed there. So I'm not talking about a demon attaching itself to you or inhabiting you or linking to your being in any way. Let me say this one more time, just in case people try to say, I'm saying that demons can affect you.  That, as I said, is as biblically solid of a doctrine as you'll ever find. Now, I say this as someone, most of you know this, for those of you who are new to this channel, I say this as someone who practices deliverance. I say this as someone who regularly casts out demons. I say this as someone who believes in demonic possession, who believes demons are real, who believes we should be engaged in spiritual warfare, but we must base what we believe about the spiritual realm on the word. So, of course, demons can still attack you. Here's where some of the confusion may arise. If you have your Bibles, which you should, go to 1 Timothy, chapter five, I'm gonna read verse number 22. The Bible clearly says here, lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins, and keep thyself pure. Now, what specifically is this scripture talking about? Some imagine that this verse means that if you shake hands with an unbeliever, or if you're in the same room as an unbeliever and you're not aware of what they're imparting to you, that you can therefore receive a demonic spirit from them. Some believers are even afraid that if a minister who's demonically influenced lays hands on them, that a demon can be transferred to them.  But here the Bible is talking about something very specific. 1 Timothy 5.22 is a reference to commissioning people into ministry. You see, in the New Testament, what the apostles would do is they would test people, they would observe people, they would look and see if someone's life, it was lived, how shall I say, up to the standard of Scripture, they looked to see that the life of the individual was lived according to the Word of God and then they would say, there is a quality candidate for ministry and then after that person was known and tested and proved, then that person would be commissioned into ministry and part of the ceremony of commissioning that person into ministry was laying hands on them. So when this Scripture tells us lay hands on no man suddenly, what it's telling us is don't initiate someone's ministry. Don't ordain people without knowing them. Don't do it hastily. Don't just appoint any minister that you want. Make sure that the person that you're appointing into ministry actually meets the qualifications of Scripture. And then it says, neither be partakers of other men's sins. Keep thyself pure. Here the Scripture is clearly talking about doing what evil people do or partaking in their sin by endorsing them into ministry despite their wrongdoing. So if you appoint someone into ministry knowingly and you know that they have sin in their life, if you appoint someone into ministry knowing that they have areas that don't meet God's standard and you still put them in ministry, then by doing so, you're actually participating in their sin and God will hold you accountable for putting people into ministry who aren't qualified for leadership ministry. I mean, all believers do ministry but you get what I'm saying there. So that's where some of the confusion comes from.  Well, if you shake hands with an unbeliever or if somebody who has sin in their life lays hands on you that for some reason or another, the Holy Spirit's gonna go, sorry, those are the rules. I gotta back off and let that demon take its place in your life now. No, that's not at all how it works. We are called to spiritual warfare, not superstitious warfare. So let's be very careful about the way we look at these things. Now, in a moment, I'm gonna talk to you about some of the dangers of actual spiritual transfer. So don't hear what I'm not saying. I don't mean to inspire no reverence whatsoever. I don't mean to inspire people to just be apathetic toward the supernatural realm but we do have to be balanced. We do have to ground ourself in the word and what it actually says if we're gonna walk in true power. Otherwise, we just get stuck in powerless religious man-made traditions that don't really produce anything but fear and paranoia in our lives. So that's one of the things that causes confusion. That's one of the misapplications I should say that has caused people to think that demons can attach themselves to you just by shaking someone's hand. Another thing, and again, this is gonna be a little different than probably what you've heard but another thing you should be aware of and this is very important. Another reason that confusion around this subject has become so, how shall I say, so intrusive. The reason it's so permeated the body of Christ is precisely because what's happening and what happens sometimes is that we take beliefs and doctrines from other systems, other belief systems and then we try to pull them and force them onto scripture. I'll tell you what I mean. People who are really susceptible to this are people who were saved from the occult, people who were saved from witchcraft, people who were saved from new age practice. So when someone who was in the new age gets saved or when someone who was into witchcraft gets saved or when someone who was into the occult gets saved, the problem is that when they come to the Lord, sometimes instead of leaving behind their old belief systems, what they do is they take from their former life and they call that intel or insight and they try to take from the beliefs of the old system and then force them onto scripture. Look, when we get saved, the Bible says all things become new. So we are not to take from old systems. Why would you believe anything that was taught to you under demonic doctrine? Why would you believe anything taught to you that came from a system that was founded by demons? Some may say, well, it gives a spiritual insight taking from those systems or learning from those systems. No, it doesn't. That would be to say that the scripture was insufficient. That would be to say that God didn't give us everything that we needed to fight spiritual warfare, that we actually need the teachings of the occult, that we actually need the teachings of new age practice, that we actually need those teachings of the world to supplement with the Bible mist. Think about the arrogance in that. Now, I'm not saying that people don't get saved from these systems. I'm not saying that these people who come to the Lord from these systems aren't genuinely saved. Of course, God can save anyone. And we celebrate when people are rescued from the new age. We celebrate when people are rescued from the occult. We celebrate when people are rescued from witchcraft. That's wonderful. It's wonderful that they've left the kingdom of darkness and now come into the kingdom of light. The problem comes when we say, well, tell us what they used to teach you and then we'll apply it to our spiritual warfare doctrines as if it's come from scripture. Dangerous, that's unholy mixture. And so that is part of where we get some of these teachings, these attachments, these soul ties, these things that we say are forming in the spiritual realm but they cannot be formed in the life of the believer who's walking in the Holy Spirit. Now, again, I have to say this repeatedly so that nobody misunderstands me. I am not saying that demons can't attack you or affect you or even torment you. Of course they can. We see examples of that in the New Testament. What I am saying is the influence they have over you is limited because you're a born-again believer now. So we can be rid of this fear, this superstition, this man-made teaching around the subject, the spiritual transfer. I mean, how would you evangelize?  That's breaking the rules. You're setting them up for failure or you're opening them up to attack but this is to forget. This is to forget the power of the Holy Ghost. Think about it. If I have the Holy Spirit in me and they have a demonic spirit in them and I shake their hand, who do you think wins? Greater is he who is in me and he who is in the world or greater is the spirit who is in you than the spirit that is in the world, the scripture says. In other words, one is in you, one is not. One has greater power, one has lesser power and by comparison, it's not even, why I couldn't even consider it a comparison because the Holy Spirit is that much more powerful. Now, as I said, this doesn't mean that we can just let ungodly influence into our lives and I'll tell you how that looks. I'll tell you how that works but right now I need us to be rid of certain superstitious mindsets. That's not how it works. It doesn't work by you walking into the supermarket. They're playing a song on the radio and you think, I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out of here. I don't want anything to attach to me.  That's not how it works at all.  That's not how it works. If that was a problem, if that was an issue then Jesus would have told the disciples to cast out demons privately. Jesus did not cast demons out in back rooms in private sessions. The disciples did not cast out demons in back rooms in private sessions. It's almost like we try to hide what the Holy Spirit does.  That's his power. And so this fear that we have that, oh, you're casting a demon out of someone it may jump onto someone else. Well, not in that setting, not when the Holy Spirit's power is present in that way. If you're there and you're driving a demon out, when that demon goes out, it's gonna get as far away from you as it possibly can. That's the power that rests in you. So again, yes, there is such a thing as ungodly spiritual transfer. But no, it does not work in the way that we most often think. And again, I just revealed to you why some people misunderstand the way it works because of a misapplication of 1st Timothy, chapter five verse 22, and because we tried to take from the occult and witchcraft. And again, it's wonderful that people are being saved from these things but then to take their teachings of their former selves and say, well, let's slap that onto the scripture because the scripture wasn't sufficient enough in preparing us for spiritual warfare. That's a mistake. And that's something that we ought not to do. Okay, having addressed the paranoia side. So don't worry, shaking the hand of an unbeliever's not gonna get a demon attached to you. You're walking in the mall, you hear an ungodly song.  You're evangelizing in a tough area.   No way you're not gonna get a demon attached to you. Not if you're walking with the Holy Spirit as a born again believer.  There's no way. You're not a part of that kingdom anymore. You're not under that power. But the way it can affect you now. Let's look at this biblically. Go now to 2 Corinthians chapter six, verse 14. So this doesn't mean we're off the hook. This doesn't mean that, oh, okay, so I can just go be around anyone, do anything, think anything and I'll be okay. No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying. So again, we took care of the paranoia. Now let's take care of the apathy and look at how the enemy can affect you with ungodly spiritual transfer. 2 Corinthians 6, 14 says, be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? Here, the scripture is describing more than a conversation. The scripture is describing more than a handshake. The scripture here is describing covenant. It's describing unity. It's describing influence. Now we as believers are not to come into covenant with unbelievers and this is more than just to do with marriage, by the way. This has to do with allowing an unbeliever to have influence in your life. You know, I have many friends who are not saved. They're not born again. They don't serve the Lord. They have questions. They're kind of searching right now. I don't say back away from me. I don't want your demons. They come to my house. I don't say get out. I don't need you here.  Some people are demon phobes. They think that if they don't spray holy oil of disinfectant that the demons are gonna remain. That's not how it works. I don't kick these people out of my house and say, I don't want you here. Your spirits are gonna attach to me. Get away from my daughter. I don't want her to have demonic attachments with you. No, no, no, no. Remember, even Jesus himself spent time with sinners. Now you might say, well, that's because that was Jesus. Well, he was our model and he was showing us how we ought to live our lives. He would spend time around sinners never doing what they did, but instead controlling the atmosphere and the influence. That's a key component by the way of connecting with the unbeliever. You control the atmosphere. When I'm around unbelievers, they come into my home. They'll meet me after a service. We'll go into a neutral place like a restaurant.    No, I'm gonna invite them to where I am. I'm gonna take the atmosphere and I'm gonna invite them to that atmosphere. Now, when we interact with the unbeliever, we have to watch conversation. We have to watch what we do. We have to watch what we think and we have to be careful of how they could influence us. So the scripture is describing influence, not attachment. Please understand, this is the primary difference. The Bible, when it talks about ungodly spiritual transfer as we like to put it, it's not talking about attachment. It's talking about influence. That is the primary difference and it'll keep you grounded when you understand that. Watch this, Psalm chapter one, verses one through three. All the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or stand around with sinners or join in with mockers, but they delight in the law of the Lord meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither and they prosper in all they do. All the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked. It's one thing to have a conversation with an unbeliever. It's one thing to have a conversation with someone who is ungodly or living an ungodly lifestyle. It's another thing to allow the mindset that has deceived them to influence you. It's now when you start to follow the advice of the wicked. You start to take counsel from people who aren't living right. Well, you know what people who aren't living right will always inspire you to do? To compromise. They're gonna say things that put you further into compromise. This is talking about ungodly connections. Watch this now. First Timothy chapter four verse one. Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith. They will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. Listen to me now, please. Demons know the word too. Demons understand the scripture better than most Christians understand the scripture. Of course, they don't have the revelation of the Holy Spirit. But intellectually speaking, demons have a better grasp on the scripture than almost any one of us, probably all of us. They've been around long enough to understand it and they're intelligent enough to grasp some of the key concepts, not necessarily the revelation, but the information. And so the scripture describes here doctrines of demons. This is how ungodly spiritual transfer takes place through deception, through belief. It's quite simple. You get around ungodly people and you start to allow them to influence the way you think. You know what's gonna happen? They're gonna influence your thoughts.   So yeah, you may not have to worry about shaking their hand or being around them and a demon going, now I'll seize the opportunity and the Holy Spirit for some reason saying, well, you got me there, they just weren't aware of this so I guess I gotta back up and let you attach to them. That's just, it's nonsensical to believe that. If you believe that, you don't understand the power of the Holy Ghost, period. If you believe that, you do not understand the power of the Holy Ghost and you have not been exposed to true power yet. That is a religious, powerless, man-made way to see it. However, on the other side of this, this doesn't mean that we can just let our guards down for the enemy is very, very deceptive. And if you allow him to influence the way you think through ungodly influence, you're in trouble. By the way, doctrines of demons primarily come through false teachers. People we deem to be godly righteous and the way they're living their lives, hypocrisy, sin, all sorts of things hidden in the dark and it comes through in their teachings. Now this doesn't mean that every man or woman of God who has fallen, that we should therefore reject everything they've ever taught. No, this just means that we should be careful about developing the same mindset that caused them to fall. Watch this now. Things like legalism. You know most believers aren't even aware that they believe legalism. What is legalism? Legalism is simply the belief that you can earn your own salvation through your works and it seems so righteous. After all, every believer wants to overcome sin. After all, every true believer wants to live holy. But the moment you begin to think that you can earn your own salvation, you begin to walk around in fear constantly wondering if you've lost your salvation. Which by the way is a sign that you believe legalistically. Liberalism, and I don't mean that in the political sense.   That's a lie. Universalism, universalism is the belief no matter how they try to say it it always comes down to this truth. Universalism teaches that ultimately everyone ends up in heaven whether or not they receive the free gift of salvation. That's heresy. But it's more than just these blatant false doctrines. It's also these subtle little straight subtle little strange doctrines. These subtle little shifts in our thinking that begin to change the way we think about everything. Now, we also see that this ungodly impartation can inspire fear, confusion, depression. Think about the fact that some people use their position to control others, to manipulate others, to intimidate others. I'll say this to you bluntly. If you have a leader who's told you that if you walk away from them that you will never fulfill God's will, that was manipulation.  That's witchcraft. That's mixture. That's ungodly transfer. You share in conversations. You partake in these actions and you will begin to fall under the same deception. Watch this now. Paul addressed this directly. Go to Galatians chapter 3. Turn there for a second. Galatians chapter 3. I'll read verses 1 through 3. Received he the spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith. Verse 3. Are ye so foolish or all foolish Galatians as we've read so many times before, having begun in the spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Who hath bewitched you? He asks them. Interesting word here. Obviously this bewitching is more than just conversation. Now again, we're not talking about attachment or habitation. That doesn't apply to the believer. But here Paul clearly is talking about these Galatians having been bewitched. Now I looked at the word here for bewitched and the scripture is very clear on the fact that this is talking about being fascinated or being deceived. Paul equates deception with having been bewitched. That is ungodly spiritual transfer. Even a hint of deception can corrupt you. Even just a hint of deception can affect you in the long term. Or if you make a small shift now that's incorrect over the long journey that one small degree off will ultimately affect your destination.  The potential you have for ministry. The effectiveness you'll have in your calling. Who hath bewitched you? How does someone become bewitched? Somebody casting a spell on them? No, no, those people are powerless. They can do nothing to you because you have the Holy Spirit. The way you become bewitched according to the scripture here is if you believe according to a lie. Deception is witchcraft. To be deceived is to be bewitched. They're the one and the same. Now, when you begin to allow this influence to corrupt you it transforms everything about you. What you believe about yourself. What you believe about God. What you believe about ministry. What you believe about others. What you believe about salvation. Everything is effective. Now watch this. If we go down to Galatians chapter 5 verses 9 and 10 the scripture clearly, clearly gives us the solution. This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads to the whole batch of dough. A little leaven spoils the whole batch. Verse 10. I am trusting the Lord to keep you. Here's the solution now. I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person whoever he is who has been confusing you. Again, we're not talking about attachment. We're not talking about habitation. We are talking about deception. The enemy uses ungodly people around you to impact the way you think. This is why you have to do a very serious self-evaluation and only you can do this. Only you know. Have I been allowing others to influence the way I think? Have I been allowing others to control me through what they get me to believe? Have I been allowing demonic influence into my life through falling under the power of that deception? That is the enemy's power against the believer. It's deception. It's always been deception. And so long as we're looking for this superstitious sense, we'll never get to the root of the real problem and therefore we'll never be free of deception. Look, that's why the enemy lies to us like this. He keeps you distracted with all sorts of silly approaches and strange doctrines to where you never address his actual attack against you, which is always deception. Very sneaky indeed he is. Very deceptive indeed the enemy is. The father of all lies. There is no truth in him. And so, the friends we surround ourselves with, the ministers we allow to speak into our lives, the family members we allow to give us advice. Let's go even further. The social media that we consume that's of the world, the movies we watch of the world, the music we listen to of the world, what are these things doing? They're changing the way you think. They're changing your perspective negatively. And in transforming your perspective and changing the way you think, it's bringing you under the power of deception. That is the danger of ungodly spiritual transfer.  Look at where he's really attacking you. I don't remember which war this was, but an interesting story. I think it might have been World War II, on the Rhine River, if I'm not mistaken. You history buffs can correct me. But long story short, the army that was really losing the battle, so it seemed, created what was called the Ghost Army. And what they did is they hired like theater professionals, Broadway actors, movie professionals to create the illusion of an army. They created fake tanks. They created fake soldiers. They even had like buildings set up in a way with underground tunnels so that someone would go in one door, come out another door, so it looked like far more people were encamped there than actually were. And so the enemy sent all their forces to go and defend against this Ghost Army. Meanwhile, they discover, or meanwhile the other army went south of the river, I believe, and crossed over. Why? Because the army that was against them was so focused on this fake, this fake Ghost Army that was of no threat that they left themselves wide open where it really mattered. That's how the enemy gets us. I don't want to be, forgive me, but I don't want to be a cowardly Christian who's always afraid of demons and devils. I don't want to compromise. That is true compromise, by the way.  My goodness, that's a bondage all its own. And it's a reinforcing bondage because it keeps itself in your head by telling you that it's spiritual, when it's not. True freedom comes by walking in the spirit and walking in the truth that he ministers. So don't let the enemy distract you with the superstitious elements that surround the subject of spiritual transfer. Be grounded in the Word. Walk in true power. Understand the revelation God has given to you through the scripture.  That he may draw your attention to the places where it counts. That he may draw your attention to those people speaking into your life that are truly producing negative results. You know, be careful. I just sensed the spirit on this. Be careful who you allow to give you advice for your marriage. You don't know, but maybe some people give you bad advice because they're trying to break it up out of jealousy, out of spite. Be careful of your leaders. And I don't mean to make you paranoid, but let's just acknowledge that spiritual abuse is true. It's a real thing. Think about the fact that maybe some leaders might be speaking things because they are jealous of you too. Now again, we don't approach this with paranoia and suspicion. I'm not asking you to mark everyone and say, hi, you're all against me and now I have to be careful of all of you. No. I ask you to watch very carefully who you allow to influence what you think. Because in allowing who you and who you allow to influence what you think you discover the power that has control over your life. When you begin to see these influences for what they are and how they're actually affecting you, it's going to be the truth. Are they drawing you closer to God? If not, give them less influence and if you absolutely must cut them off. I believe in divine disconnection just as much as I believe in divine connection. I know this is tough to hear, but if there are relationships that are pulling you away from the Lord, truly pulling you away from the Lord, not just people who disagree with you from time to time on doctrine or schools. No. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about people who truly pull you from the Lord. Who truly are of the enemy bringing in negative demonic influence by way of deception. Evaluate your life.  Come on, pray with me. Father in the name of Jesus, I pray you would begin to show your people these areas of ungodly spiritual transfer. And I pray, Father, that you would give them discernment. Give them discernment to know when to pull away and when to completely sever these connections. Holy Spirit, I pray you give them peace in the name of Jesus. I want you to receive that. Remember, the Holy Spirit gives peace, not paranoia. So, Father, I thank you for these lives receiving that touch of your power. Give them great discernment in this hour. Protect them from all ungodly influence. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. And I want you to say it because you believe it. Say, Amen. Well, listen. I want to ask you something here if you're watching this live or if you're watching this on the replay. I would like to give you an opportunity to help our ministry in its endeavors. If you've been blessed by this ministry by the teachings, by the services, by the live streams, by the content maybe you've come to an event and you experience the power of the Holy Spirit in whatever way you've been impacted by this ministry. I want you to consider that way. I want you to consider what God's done for you through the work of His really, this is His ministry. It's not mine. But what has God done for you through this ministry? Now imagine doing that for someone else. You see, the reason we were able to reach you is because we don't put barriers between people and the Word of God. We don't charge for anything. We don't charge for the live streams. We don't charge for the pre-recorded content. We don't charge for the Holy Spirit School. We don't even charge registration for our events. And so I'm asking you now to pay it forward.

But whatever you do, whether large or small one time or monthly, I want you to know number one, I appreciate what you're doing. And number two, I want you to know it's helping.

Hey, it's Bridget. Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee with Bridget. Today's talk topic is waiting. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The waiting game is difficult. As I look back over my life and I think about the times I've been forced to wait. Not just waiting in line. But waiting for something really big to come through, like having a baby or interviewing for a job or that moment when you're going to propose to your lover waiting. Now, I suppose we could get into the energetics of anticipation and how a combination of stress, anxiousness, and excitement blend all together in that protein shake. But the truth is we're going to focus on the weight. And is it worth it? Like what is the point of this weight piece? The time it takes to get from here to there. You could say that someone that enters college just is waiting to graduate. But the truth is, is that the time between here and there is just a stretch of life, a span of time that is intended and meant to be lived. So during the time of the weight from the this place you are now to the goal that you have set for yourself or the place you are now to the intention you have or the place you are now, you are here on this map to the vision that you are holding for yourself now. That whole time could be considered in part a time of weight. No, it's true.  You can be waiting in a in a state of waiting, but also be highly productive and moving through and handling lots of other aspects and components to your life. We are such multi tasking as far as culture goes. We're expected to do a million different things in a million different and a million different ways at one time and then we wonder why there's so much ADD or ADHD for that matter. We split our focus, we split our priorities, and then we only are able to do things sort of kind of well, satisfactory enough to get us moving through what? Through to what? To what goal? To what intention? To what vision? Are we striving or moving toward in our momentum? It's hard to believe that that all that busy-ness can be going on at the same time that we're also waiting. But what if waiting is a bubble of time? What if it's a gift? What if it's the cauldron of energy in the womb space that we drop into and are just held during that gestation period? What if the weight is a gestation period? It's a time to grow, a time to do, a time to have and receive experiences, to enrich our lives. What if the weight, the worthiness of the weight, is about enriching our life experience? So that when you get to the place of being able to receive and achieve the goal, the intent, the outcome, the vision, you will be so fully ready. What if the intention of the weight is life preparing you so that you can be all and fully show up and fully be present for that moment of receiving? For that next stage of your life to then be more fully lived and more fully enriched? What if this is about really deepening and savoring life? What if the point of waiting isn't to annoy you? What if the point of life and the weight of things isn't to stop you or deter you or distract you from working on a goal or from achieving a dream or from holding that dream vision of life as you want it to be? What if it's not about the distraction or the deterrence or the redirection of that? What if that's not at all what that means? What if weight is natural? What if we're always constantly in a state of weight? This is an interesting topic. The energetics of this are very curious to me now. It seems as though we have become very instant gratification oriented. I've heard that before.  We used to say, oh everybody so feels so entitled and now it's like everybody just wants instant gratification is the same thing. It's just called something different people. It's just called something different. So What if the weight is a gift? What if it's a beautiful supportive way to give you exactly what you want? What if it's a way to give you the time to really sit with the dreams that you have in your heart? To really understand if the goals that you have set are truly worthy of your soul. Perhaps you have compromised. Perhaps you have thought, well, I can't I can't imagine this person would ever want to be with me. So I'm gonna lower my standard so that I can be with someone that's, you know, probably like more likely to want to be with me like that. Can you imagine? Can you imagine walking through life like that? Like Lowering your dreams like cutting down your dreams.  This tree is so beautiful, but I'm just gonna cut some limbs off it because there's just there's so many limbs and I'm just not sure if I really want to be able to I just I just don't know if I'm worthy of all that And so I'm just gonna cut some of her limbs off This beautiful tree so that you know, she's more in alignment with me right now But the truth is is because when you have a dream like that Like like such as love this is the example I'm using right then you need time to develop to grow to To evolve to a place where then you truly are ready and prepared to receive that kind of love in your life Because right now you might not see that you might not be available for that. You might not you might have very Rough edges that have been so unhealed that if you were to meet that magical person now You wouldn't even know them or you would feel so out of like they would feel so out of your league that there's no possible way you could entertain a life with that person and So the weight gives you the opportunity to love yourself So that when you show up in that right beautiful timing To connect You will be the most beautiful The most loved by self person That you will shine so brightly That your beloved Will know you and be so so so over the moon overjoyed to accept you and receive you with open arms We often set goals Intentions that come through our dreams and desires the deep core desire that we have But then when it gets up From the deepest part of ourselves that lit up belly part of ourselves through our heart and into our minds Our mind distills it down it Attempts to rationalize and make something that is so dreamy and transcendent realistic and more attainable From the lens of today from the mind of today when the truth is your mind will evolve and grow to just as much as your spirit Will help it heal so the weight is Imperative For your own happiness For the best alignment the weight is intended so the universe can help you co-create All of the pieces that you need to have in order to then Receive and achieve that goal that dream that desire but recognize this that the mind will talk you out of it or Talk you down it will dumb you down and and It's doing so to help prevent you from being disappointed, which is a huge human thing It's just natural for us to not want to be disappointed not want to be hurt not want to be Focusing on the wrong things and then miss out on other things and all of that right It's normal for the mind to want to really take care of you so it's not going to encourage risk It's not going to encourage a long-range goals because it cannot possibly understand how you here today could achieve that goal It cannot see that far ahead It's job is to keep you alive today in the now moment and in the mind every moment is an Appending crisis ready to happen If There is this perception of too much distance between where you are now and where you want to be or where you are now And what your deepest desire is? The mind will convince you that that is a fantasy And it can't be real it can't possibly real be real for you, and it will give you a history Bullet pointed out as to why your current and past life experiences do not qualify you for that future Desire and dream to manifest, but the universe has this thing called the weight the waiting The physical human time between now The moment that you realize you have that dream and desire and you're willing to acknowledge it and let it come forward and allow It to become a vision and intention for your life Which you at the bare minimum should allow yourself that at least give yourself the possibility to dream Without the fear of the mind stepping in and trying to convince you that you're not that well, of course You're not that that's why it's called a dream.  You are laying the footings the groundwork the foundation that will give you All that you need to have an any today now moment that will eventually lead you to The outcome that you desire the moment that you meet your beloved And you will be ready because you will have multiple days if not years to prepare for that encounter Now you're not going to be thinking about this every day of your life in this way of how am I preparing for my love today? How am I preparing for this today? How am I preparing? No, but you will hold the vision hold the beautiful Energetic of that dream and you can feel that through meditation. You can see that in your mind's eye you can Do visualizations for that you can do vision boards dream boards you can do You can create There's so many ways you can help to manifest that you could do a grid About love and enhancing love in your life so that now and the now moments and experiences you have now will prepare you for that ultimate beautiful divine intersection point Where the weight will be over? Because you will be there You'll be right there in that moment of beauty and connection So you could do a grid Use a sacred geometry. You could print one out You don't have to have a grid cloth You could print one out a piece of paper and set some crystals or rocks on it or just set it down on a little End table that you have in your living room and put some special things on it that represent or amplify the energy of love of a dream It might be a quote you have It could be a fortune you have that you got about love. It could be some hearts It could be something you make like a wreath. It could be a candle that smells like roses. It could be actual roses It could be dried roses. It could be beautiful things from nature It could be pictures of people you love your family your friends It could be literally anything But this is just an energetic reminder Of what is inside so you bring it out in your human physical environment while you are then waiting While you are in the time between now and then You still hold that energetic feeling of hope That sweetness that the universe then can cultivate and amplify and magnetize for you That's what energy is that is what energy is and it is a thing people It is a thing it's the creepy feeling you get from some people and the warm and fuzzy Feeling you get from some other people that you mean, right? It's so easy to use this in the context of relationships because it's so obvious you can tell you get vibes, right? That's energy That's energy. Okay, it's a real thing So waiting has a purpose It's hard It's not always easy Especially once you it's like you're afraid to be aware of it because if you're aware of it, then you can't not know it I always say that to people actually I've said that for years. It's hard because once you are in awareness You can't unknow something you can't not know it You just know it. It's too late now. You know it. Ha ha. So everything you do now after You have to do experience go on with your life knowing All of this other stuff that you now know because you're aware of it I know that works for bad things or things that we consider bad or difficult tragic even trauma experiences, right? It comes back up, right? We can't unknow that Well, we can heal from it Okay, and same too with the good things that you become to your awareness It's not a desire. It's not the desire is not to cause you pain To know to understand the distance or the separation the desire is to give you the momentum and the encouragement of your day-to-day life as a process to cultivate the experiences And the time and space to heal and work on yourself to the point that so that you will be Incredibly qualified And potently able to receive Exactly what you wanted and in fact probably a better more upgraded magnetized version It's not about being patient in the way where you would ignore that, you know ignore your desire I'm just going to be patient. I'm just going to be patient. Just magically it's going to happen No, you must be aware of that's why there's a weight. There's a difference between patient being patient and waiting Waiting is the intention And you can do things while you wait. You're supposed to do things while you're wait You're supposed to live life now while you wait.  It's not for the pain of the lack of the separation between where you are now and what you want It's for the motivation and the inspiration the encouragement that what you are doing now Is going to bring you to the exact right moment in place and time where that will intersect and it will meet and you will receive Through your wholeness and amplify Not in your broken pieces and particles Not how you feel right now not the inadequacy or the less than There is so much value in the weight Use it Leverage it You will be better for it. Don't accept less than for your desires Don't talk yourself into dumbing down The life that you want Because you don't feel qualified today Remember kids that are entering college now people that are entering college Or re-entering college and getting trained for something new. They're not qualified to be a doctor or a nurse today Oh, please the people that are going to be delivering your kids babies, right, you know in the future here They're just in school now Okay, they're just starting college They are not qualified to do surgery. They're not qualified to be In the delivery room at the hospital. They are not qualified but in time During the wait, they will be The weight is intentional It's intentional. Of course, you're not qualified today Life will qualify you Ain't that the truth Wow, I haven't even had my coffee. I'm still sitting in bed. It's like 5 30 a.m I haven't been sleeping great lately. So I've been getting up and periodically at times at night Oh I'm super aware of the weight piece. I guess right now and I can barely see the moon. It's like a full moon Almost a full moon I can barely kind of see the kind of pretty colors of the sky kind of swapping out With that moonlight energy And I kind of love it. I can barely see it through the window here kind of over a ways away from my bed here now, but Hmm I'm not waiting for the morning. I'm just really appreciating connecting with you in this cozy Space early early in the morning.  I'll make it. I'll make you some. I'll make you some So this is Bridget. I hope I've inspired your spirit and fills you with hope today and encouraged you to live your life This is your life after all and you get to live it Just love it. Thanks for listening


So there are many items in this game, some rare than others but there are a select few which are ultra rare to a point that only a few have only ever been seen. Now since the additional three levels have been introduced, some of these items have become lost as some of them are only seen at a level 50. Today I bring you 5 or 10 plus items I myself and a few other people in the community are looking for, some super rare items you need to keep your eyes peeled for. Has it gone guys my name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video, if you do enjoy living a life really helps out and subscribe if you want to see more. Before we go any further, if you are looking for any specific item in which you have been farming for to no avail, leave a comment down below with the item you are looking for and a platform you play on, hopefully someone can help you out. Or you can join my discord linked within the video description which is full of people on all platforms willing to trade. Also if you guys have any of the following items I do mention at a level 53 and play on xbox, hit me up via my discord linked within the video description or send me a message on xbox, my game tag is I am the DPJ. Ok so getting into it, now me being as a man, there are class mods with certain skills on which we are searching for. But these are the same for every 400 in the game and it's 5 points into single perks on class mods. For me it's 5 points into the scene dead class mods in which I search for. Like I said if you are a moles or a flak or a amara and there's certain class mods you are looking for with 5 points into a certain perk, let us know down below. Now for me myself I found this scene dead with 5 points into violent violence which takes my fire rate up to 45% in total which is utterly amazing. But as you can see the role ain't the best with damage reduction, torque reload, speed and melee 1 weapon accuracy. And I was also sent this by my power rangers mad69 which has 5 into Donnie Brooke. Again this is amazing, actually the best kind of scene dead you can get but again the role isn't that great I mean I know we got a buff to dial weapons or dial assault rifles so this could work good with them but in terms of malibrand weapons or hyperion weapons or jcubs or whatever this isn't that great. I mean I have seen thousands of scene deads these are the only 2 5 into a certain perk or skill that I have seen.  So yeah if you have come across any of these with decent roles let me know. Another class mod for zane which seems to have fallen under the radar and become even rarer is the antifreeze. This legendary class mod has become super super rare as we know it drops from walton and me and up on the mortuary times I've killed walton I have never seen it drop. Same goes for a lot of my friends who farm walton. This is a super super rare class mod but it also comes from the arbalest of discipline. So yeah this is another class mod for zane to keep an eye out for. If you have one with a decent role let me know. Next up shields. Now there are a few shields in this game which are just ultra rare to start the 3 times vagabond shield. And it does come from vending machines across the board as well as an ultra rare world drop. Now obviously me being a zane main I'm looking for this with that sentinel movement speed anointment and so does this inertial mouth and shield. And as you can see with just the 2 vega and that anointment we get like 30 plus additional movement speed which is just crazy. And if this was a 3 times I do believe this would be basically 40% movement speed from this shield alone. Now I've farmed vending machines for weeks looking for this and I just haven't found anything. I did however find other interesting items but this still evades me. So another shield to keep an eye out for is the kill switch shield. This again I do have but not with that sentinel movement speed anointment which is the one for me. The best variant. This shield allows you to stack power charges to get a massive 300 plus damage bonus. And this with that movement speed anointment and it would just be utterly amazing. Again this is a shield I have made a video on already. And every item I've already covered a video on unpeople you'll find linked in the video description. I'll just dive a little deeper into what the items actually do. So yes they'll all be linked in the video description if I've covered them in a previous video of people. Ok so next up we have a shield I've never seen myself and the 2 I have have been sent to me by my power rangers mad 69. This ultra rare shield is called the revenge nader shield. And what this does you can see throws a 3 grenade when the shield is depleted. This actual variant is quite decent to be honest not going to lie having both amp and power charge on it too. But it could be better anointment though is perfect for me. Now guys I do believe this is a world drop sometimes seen at grave ward and also rare chests again though I myself have never ever come across this in game so it's gotta be quite rare. Ok so next up we have an artifact and it's a certain rolled deathless. So the deathless is quite a unique artifact as it doubles actually more than doubles your shield capacity and gives you 1 health. But it also gives you an every variant plus 25% shield recharge rate and a minus 20% shield recharge delay. Now the rare variant in which I have never seen and one I am searching for is one that offers both shield recharge rate and delay as additional benefits. Now I have one which offers plus 30% shield recharge rate but not the delay. I need both of them on this thing so I'll basically double it up on the same item. Imagine what this would be capable of we could create something amazing which I have in mind already I'm just searching for this variant. Now the deathless is formidable via the legendary phoenix within the splinter lands. I found and farmed and farmed and farmed in people I just cannot find the one I want. It's utterly crazy. So this thing seems to be super super rare but I know it's in the game somewhere. The next shield to keep your eyes peeled for is another ultra rare shield. Now I have this variant but I want the Sentinel movement speed anointed version. The shield is called the one shutter and it's capable of dirty things. Now I've already made a video dedicated to this again you'll find that link in the video description. I don't want to bore you with details within this video but you can see the benefits unscreen now and what this thing offers. It's an amazing shield but yes this with that Zayn Sentinel movement speed anointment is one or Zayn mains need to look out for. Ok so next up we have a few weapons people will overlook or just not really know about. Some might have covered it in the past others I'm yet to cover but they will come. Firstly the lump. Now this rocket launch was first brought to my attention a while back and I myself have never seen it until the other day where it was sent to me by my pal 10 tolls down. Now this stuffed shredded lump was kind of a popular item way back when people used to use this to crit swap making farming bosses much easier. This was perfect for that because of that slow firing projectile I mean you could easily switch that one for given and you can see this thing is damaged out port it's an absolute mustang it shouldn't be overlooked. Now like I said this was the first one I've seen and it was sent to me by my pal. Now I know I said I hadn't seen one myself well that was until earlier this morning but I found it to be variant which is quite a coincidence. To be honest though I'm probably guilty of overlooking such items I mean searching for one thing I overlook other things and this leads me to truly miss out but yes the lump is an absolute mustang should keep your eyes peeled for. I'm definitely looking for one of these which has that while Sentinel is active gain a hundred percent trial damage that's what we need in our lives it really is. Ok so next up we have a shotgun now this is a shotgun popular amongst the flat folks out there and it's a stage coach but the variant most people are after is the times 25 version which offers the annulment of unaction skill and deal additional damage for a short time a hundred percent additional damage that is that is the property to look out for people now I've seen a few of these but never seen that so it is ultra ultra rare again if you come across it let me know another weapon to keep your eyes peeled for people is the rare carbuncle tog pistol this truly unique ultra rare alien type pistol is truly one of a kind only common in rare variants but it does come I believe in all elements now this is the only one I have seen and it was sent to me a while back the weapon is an absolute monster in the right build for sure people so definitely if you do come across this make sure you pick it up so lastly guys we have a popular weapon from back in the day as a pro to run shotgun this autumn months that is a weapon I covered in the early days of our land tree but since then it kind of felt under the radar now since new levels have landed I've seen a couple of pro to run shotguns drop but do you all like that damage output looking at the level 50 version as you can see on screen now the level 50 version was just an absolute monster both rare and epic variants you can see the damage was miles higher than the level 53 version I found but then guys I was sent this a full tube orange with that damage output I was used to actually double it now this is the only one I've ever seen but I am in search for one with that anointment of while Sentinel is active game 100% of bonus trial damage that is the one I need in my life for sure people but again I found a couple of these since level 53 has been introduced and have all been that low damage so this thing is ultra ultra rare and guys and that is it for today's video like I said if you are after or know of a super rare weapon be sure to let us know where that is within that comments section you have a super rare weapon and you want me to take a look at it hit me up on my disco link within a video description guys if you play our next box and have any of the items I featured today that are a level 53 again hit me up at my discord or send me a message on xbox my game tags I am VP J but on that note we have come to the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more boardlands be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully enjoy the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one


Welcome folks, I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. 2 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday. Two hours left to go on the trading day. We got markets hanging around negative territory. S&Ps right now, negative 27 points trading at 3,086. Dow Jones off 333 points trading 27,448. NASDAQ negative by 72, trading at 84.95. All the indices dramatically in the red, but a little bit of a bounce off the lows we had just after the opening bell this morning. Notes and bonds. We got some higher price and lower yield, the 10-year up a full point and 4 ticks, 130.01. The 30-year up 2 points and 23 ticks trading 160.04. Gold contract catching a bit as the market has fallen apart a bit. Gold trading up $15 at 1484 on the dollar index off 145 ticks at 97.711. We'll start things off today and we're going to start it off with the VIX. Quite an escalation over the last two days. We reached a high of 17.99 this morning. As the market has paired some of those losses, the VIX back to a 15 handle of 1586. We'll jump over to the charts. We'll start things off with the Dow. States escalate to negative territory on the heels of President Trump stating that a Chinese trade deal might be better off waiting until after the 2020 election, the market taking that as you may expect, negative action. We trade from 27.825 all the way down to a low in the Dow of about 27,316 and we're up more than 100 points off that low, 27.443. S&P 500 trading at 3,087 actually made it down to a low of 3,069. That's a solid 18 point bounce in the S&Ps. NASDAQ 100 trading at 82.30. We made it down to a low early this morning of about 81.69. You're talking about 60 NASDAQ 100 points. There's your gold contract trading higher for most of the overnight session reaching a high of 14.87 that correlated to when the market had made the lows currently trading at 14.84 and crude oil with volatility in both directions. We trade a dollar south from 56.41 all the way down to 55.37 and we're back up a dollar to 56.33. I'm just going to pull up as we wrap it up. How about those bonds? There is your 10 year yield all the way from 1.84 to 1.70 percent. Stay tuned folks. Dave White coming up live with the power trading hour right now. Tom O'Brien live at three. We'll be right back.


A few weeks ago you read the story from this book called the fight and there's just a little bit here that I have to read to you about this just to remind you of where we are up to. It's actually moving on to a new topic, moving on from fair and right that you've been talking about. I'm going to move on to a new idea. It says when young people, when people make promises, not just young people, when people make promises they take on obligations either to do or to refrain from doing certain things. Yet the circumstances in which the promise is made or the things that happen after it is made can also lessen or negate these obligations. This applies to promises that are not freely undertaken but extracted through pressure of one kind or another. And an unforeseen change in the circumstances can not only lessen the obligation to keep the promise but might morally oblige someone not to keep their promise. So Joshua in the story you might remember Joshua tries to make Rachel his little sister promise not to tell the mother about the fight. She refuses and says that the promise is only real if you promise what you freely choose. So I want you to be thinking about that and we're going to think about some questions about promises. We're going to think about those in relation to the question quadrant. So can anybody tell me something they know about the question quadrant? About different types of questions we might have? What do you know Willa? There's four different things. Yeah there's four different areas. What are the ends of the lines? What sorts of questions are on one side and what sorts of questions are on the other side? Open and close questions. Can you tell me something about those sorts of questions? Okay so some questions are closed and they have one answer or they have a correct answer. So they might have multiple answers but the answers are all correct. What are the ingredients of a carrot cake? So you tell all the ingredients, there's multiple answers, they're all correct. So what about open questions? You can say something about that. Where do they come from? They come from your head. What's in your head? What are you using your head to do when you're coming up with answers for open questions? Your brain. Your brain? What part of your brain? What sort of thinking are you doing with your brain? To come up with answers for open questions? You're only your own problem. You are? What sort of thinking are you doing? Well when you're doing open questioning you're also doing open reasoning. So having a growth mindset, you have an open mind and you're open to all suggestions. So what we try and do in philosophy is we actually try and aim more for the open questions so we can deepen our discussion. Because with a closed question like the 2 plus 2 example, it's 4. That is the correct answer but it's not like it's deepening our discussion but we want to make them open questions. So we want to ask why, we want to ask how. We use words like ethics, epistemology, metaphysics and aesthetics. Aesthetics and logic. And logical questions. And we use those so that's the how, the why, the what, the if and why. To kind of deepen the discussion. Yes, yes we do. We also have these sorts of questions. We have questions from the text and questions from life. And then that helps us to make the 4 quadrants. So in this quadrant we have what sorts of questions? If they're text questions that are closed. Research? Not research that's down in this one. Like questions that are closed that we will kind of answer. Comprehension questions up here. Over here we're going to have philosophical questions down here and quarry type questions. And we're going to have up here questions where we use our imagination. Can we think of a reading comprehension question from that story of the fight? Why did his system give him a promise? Why did he give him a promise when she didn't keep it? I don't think that's reading comprehension either. What's the answer in the story? The answer has to be in the story, Kate. You think you've got one? It's a good question too, Beta. Did his sister promise? Did he? Did she? I don't think she did. I think she said, you know, if you're trying to force me to make a promise, it's not a real promise. So I don't think she did, but the answer's in the story, isn't it? Did Joshua's sister promise? Okay, so that would be a reading comprehension question. Can we think about a research question about promises? Another closed question, but we might be able to find the answers. Is there a part of the human brain that sometimes says that decides should we promise or should we not promise and makes decisions? So can I rephrase it, Hector? Is there a part of the human brain that makes decisions about promises? Or is there part of the human mind? Well, can we scan the mind if we're doing research? Well, I believe the mind is part of the brain, so just put the brain. Is there a research type of question? Is there an imagination type of question? Remember, when we're at the top half of the quadrant, we want to keep the story in the questions. When we're in the bottom half of the quadrant, we want to take the story out of the questions. So here you can still have something about one of the characters but about your imagination about what might happen. Can we think of an imagination question about Joshua and Rachel and the promise? Sir, how did Joshua's sister feel when she was supposed to make the promise? Okay. So we can imagine how she felt a bit like what Hector was talking about with empathy. Yeah, because she might have been scared that she... So can I just write how did Rachel feel because that was her sister's name? Yes. Now we have to think about a philosophical question about promises. You might want to think about all those areas Hector mentioned before. Ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology and aesthetics. Probably what was the point of asking Rachel to keep the promise? Okay, so remember we have to keep the story out of the question when it's going to be philosophical. What was the point of asking someone to keep a promise? What's the point of asking someone to keep a promise? Or forcing rather than asking? So now I'm going to give you one of these sheets of paper between two. I might get Harry to run around and do that. What's the point of forcing someone to keep a promise? If you can give them one between two. And I want you to think... I don't want you to come up with questions in these quadrants.  Has to be about promises. Has to be a philosophical question about promises. Philosophical.  Can we start here and just share the questions? If a promise has been made are you obliged to keep it? If a promise has been made are you obliged to keep it? What's the point of forcing someone to keep a promise? Is it connected? Do you think those two questions are connected? Do you want to put it out? We might connect them afterwards, we might just get them all out.   What sort of question is that if it starts with should? I think it's epistemology. Is it right or is it wrong? What are we talking about? Ethics. Should we do it or shouldn't we do it? If people choose not to keep a promise, does that make them a bad person? Oh yeah, I was talking to my mum and dad about this on the weekend. We had another one. Should people feel the need to break a promise if it is bad? If they really know how to word it but like if it is the wrong thing? Yeah, if they've been put in a situation where they promise something but they then think that it's actually not safe or not right. If they're under pressure. If they're under pressure. Ladies?   We had two. What makes a promise? What makes a promise? That's a great question. What makes a promise? Our promise is pointless and is a promise only a promise if kept? Yeah. Our promise is real. Are they real? And why do people ask for promises? Yeah, why do they? What is the point of making a promise if you can't do it? If you can't keep it. Why would you make that promise? Justlyn and Clay? We had what is a promise? What is a promise? The basic what sort of question? Anybody know it? The basic metaphysical question. What is a promise? What are we talking about here? Okay. Justlyn? Are there different types of promises? Are there different types of promises? All right. I thought of a confusing question while everyone was doing the questions. You think we need more confusing questions? Yes. Okay, just one more. Okay, so if you make a promise to someone not to let a secret out and they say, do you promise that you'll break your promise? Is that all right? Can you ever promise to break a promise? Yes. A promise is something that's supposed to break. But then you have to choose with the two promises. Which promise is more powerful? Yeah, like what? And then he told you to break the promise. You promise to break it? Promise me that you'll break that promise. Well, what we need to do is to pick a few questions that we can actually discuss. So I'm just going to read them again. I want you to think about the main question here. What do we need to focus on? Or maybe two or three that could get us started. What is the point of keeping a promise secret? What makes a promise? Is that like what is a promise? What makes a promise? There's a nice connection. What is a promise and what makes a promise? Do you have to keep a promise secret? So they're about promises and secrets, aren't they? Can you always keep a promise? So there's a whole heap of them there about keeping promises, aren't they? Keeping promises and breaking promises. So they're about keeping all those ones. That one's about breaking. Sort of got them in some sort of groupings there. What do we think? Where should we start? What do you think, Beta? Yeah, what's a promise? I think that was one of two questions. Why would we start there, Beta? Because first we need to know exactly what a promise is to then argue the rest. We need to know what a promise is to know what's the point of a promise. Okay, so if we start with what's a promise then we can figure out the rest. Alright, well let's start there. Let's start with what was it, Beta? What is a promise? Okay, let's just have a really short little discussion about that and then we'll do some reflection. Well, I think a promise is more like... It's like someone placing trust in you. To know that you're going to do exactly what the promise is. They're placing trust in you. It's almost like a power, almost, as some people were saying earlier. So we're already saying that promises are about giving your word. It might be about keeping a secret. It involves the placement of trust in another. It might involve knowledge or power, yeah? We're actually going to have to stop there and do some reflection quickly. If you had to give yourself a score out of ten for how you listen today. What score would you give yourself, how you listen to others? Who's got eight or less? Anybody got an eight or less? You got a nine? Why a nine? Because we went off the track. We moved from promise then we went to secret. Secret. So if we were listening well, we would stay on the track. Yes, but it was getting close to the end. What about what you've... What have you learnt already about promises? What's something you've learnt about promises today? I've learned that promise is to agree with something and say that I will walk on that thing. Okay, so it's some sort of agreement? Yes. I think of promise for Ireland that we all have different perspectives of promise. Claire thought that only a few people can have promise together. Some of us don't know anyone who has promise. Everyone has different perspectives of promise. When you put them together, they're all the same. But do you think differently about them? We think differently about them. And we can see already how close it is to other concepts, how close promise is to secret and how close promise is to trust. And that we might need to do some more making distinctions about those things before we could get a really clear idea of what a promise is.


Hello everyone. Welcome to a new episode of Change Podcasts. I'm here with Gabby and today we're going to be talking about earth citizens. Now, if you've been keeping up with my 10 minute routine videos, I always say in the beginning, welcome earth citizens. And maybe you're wondering what is an earth citizen? Right. So we took this podcast to talk about the earth citizen term and the earth citizen spirit. So let's just get right into it. What is an earth citizen? So Ilchi Lee, the founder of Brain Education, talks about earth citizens. And he says that before we are citizens of a nation or members of an ethnic group, we belong to the earth. Realizing this is the only way we can move beyond the pettiness that keeps us divided and disconnected. So in Ilchi Lee's view, in order to make a better world, we must view ourselves first and foremost as earth citizens. So what does that mean to you? An earth citizen to me is someone like Ilchi Lee said who looks beyond race, gender, ethnicity, all those labels that we have as humans and just looks at it as someone who is just a person that lives on the earth. So with that, you know, you take away all those labels, all those things and you look at, you know, your life on earth in a different way and the responsibility you have to take care of the earth and also all the dividedness that kind of all goes away. So to me, it's someone who lives to take care of the earth and to create a good community with themselves and around them. I think so many politicians and nonprofits and world leaders, we work so hard to get rid of the many divisions that we have on earth. We still talk about problems with race, with problems with gender, problems with different countries fighting each other, different religious groups fighting for dominance. You know, there's so many reasons why we fight each other and many world leaders come together to think of solutions to bring people together to get rid of this division. And so for me, earth citizenship, earth citizens is common sense. Because if you think about it, as you mentioned, Gaby, if you take away the label of I'm a woman, I'm Korean, I'm American, I'm from Los Angeles, if you take away those divisions, you know, like if we only consider that you and I have so many differences, you know, like her name's Gaby, she's from Lithuania, she grew up in Dallas, like she's not Asian, like, you know, we have so many differences. And if we focus on those differences, we have many reasons to fight. Like I can say, Oh, Korea is better than Lithuania. Or like, you know, argue on those terms.   And if we can focus more on that, rather than how we're different, then now we're on the same team. You know, we have a co like bond, like something that we can reunite and unite each other with. So I think that is the beauty of earth citizens. And I think maybe that's why it'll truly advocates for people to take on this term of earth citizens. Yes. Yeah. And I have a t-shirt that says I'm an earth citizen. Yes. So what do you think is the earth citizen spirit? So you might think earth citizens and earth citizen spirits are exactly the same thing, but there's a slight difference between an earth citizen and the earth citizen spirit. So what could that be? Well, I think the earth citizen spirit is probably that spirit you have inside of you as a person that lives on earth to take care of the earth and to like take that extra step past just living here and letting other people deal with the problems of the earth that don't really affect you. You know, like how many people say that kind of stuff, but actually taking the step to fix the problems that we have on earth. And I think the earth citizen spirit is the spirit of earth citizens. So if you also really resonate with the idea that we can bond and we can get together with each other on the common grounds of people who just live on earth, carrying that spirit of like, okay, then you and I are on the same team. So despite our different backgrounds, despite all that else, because we're on the same team, we're actually one earth family living together on the same planet. So how silly is it that we are fighting each other over small ideological differences like, Oh, I believe in this religion while you believe in that religion. Let me tell you why mine is better. You know, that's so silly. And while we fight over these ideologies, the world is being polluted. And people are destroying the earth. And so we miss the point. You know, if we don't live with that earth citizen spirit to wake up, take back your brain and realize that we're all on the same team.  Then we just, you know, argue over that while we watch the world crumble. So I think it's really important that people understand that beyond all of our external manmade preconceptions, ideas and labels, we are all the same. And there was one really powerful image I saw on social media of like different people's x-rays. And you know, when you x-ray somebody, we all look the same. The skeleton, different x-rays. And it said, this is what a lesbian looks like. This is what a American looks like. This is what a racist looks like. And it's like underneath all of that, it was all just bones, the same looking bones. Yeah. So that's kind of it. It's common sense, really. And I don't know how like, how we could just go on and live without this kind of idea, the spirit. And if you're someone who wants to see oneness, you know, a lot of spiritual entities, a lot of even religion and a lot of different nations, we talk about oneness, we talk about unity, we talk about coexistence. But that isn't possible, in my opinion, without the Earth, citizen spirit, without the fundamental knowing that we are all the same as people living on this Earth together, beyond race, beyond nationality, beyond gender, beyond social class, beyond all of those things. And that is the Earth's citizen spirit. Yes. So why do you think we need this, Gabby? Why do people need to adapt the Earth's citizen spirit? Well, if you tune into the news once in a while, you can see lately, there's been so many news about like all the plastic in the oceans, that one video with the turtle with the plastic coming out of the nose, you know, all the whales that that like they open up and then there's all plastic like things like that that you may think you're sitting in your office that has nothing to do with you, but you're you may be the person contributing to that kind of stuff. And you could be the person helping that kind of stuff. And if we all work together, we can really save the Earth. So I have some statistics on the plastic in the oceans that are really am I ready for this? I don't know. So roughly speaking, humans dump 8 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans each year, 8 million tons and commune cumulatively, that is about 350 million tons of that plastic waste in the oceans. Every minute of every day, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters the world's oceans. And waste such as bottles and beer holders can last for up to 450 years in that environment. And some last for over 1000 years in the ocean. That is terrible. Yes. And I've seen some news articles that say there's like a plastic floating mass, twice the size of Texas. Floating Texas is really big. She would know she's from Texas. Floating between New Zealand and Los Angeles. That's crazy. Wow. And you see more instances of like beaches being like contaminated all over the world with plastic that gets washed up shore. And you know, we have the amazing fortune of being in the United States and not really being exposed to that. Right. But just because we don't see it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. So these are shocking facts. Yeah. And that's all contributing to other environmental issues like, you know, the ice caps and all this like pollution, everything that's all contributing to it. Yeah. And it's killing the coral reefs, which is a very important part of the oceanic ecosystem. And we think that, oh, what does that have to do with anything but so much of living things are connected to each other. If the coral reefs die, then fish that live in the coral reefs, they also die. And if those die, then the animals that eat those fish die, like it's a chain reaction. All life, not just human beings, all life, we're so interconnected. But it's so difficult to see that if we live in a technologically advanced world in the urban jungle, watching you to having no idea what's going on in the outside world. Yeah. So the next question then is, can we really fix this? And what does this have to do with people's problems? As I briefly mentioned, if you do sit at home and you're living in an urban environment, it might seem like these world problems are kind of isolated from your own problems. Like, what does this have to do with me kind of mentality? So let's talk about how these things are really connected to us and how the Earth citizen spirit and the idea of seeing myself as an Earth citizen can really help solve my personal problems and global problems. Let's talk about that. So I mean, if nothing is possible, if we don't have an Earth to live on amen, sister. Amen. So if we keep going at this pace of not taking care of the Earth, that's gonna affect us and the future generations, the kids like all that. So we have to really, I know, as you said, we're in our urban jungles, we don't really see this every single day how it's impacting us firsthand. But if we don't take action, it can definitely impact us in the future. So I want to ask those listening to this podcast, what is the most important thing in your life? Think about that. Some people might say their family. Some people might say their job. You know, some people might say their status. So whatever it is that's most important to you think about that. Let me know in the comments below. And now let me ask you whatever your answer was to that question, what is the most important thing to you? Let's say family, let's say you said family, a lot of people I think would say family. So if your family is the most important thing to you, is your family able to be healthy, happy and peaceful if they didn't breathe clean air? If they didn't drink clean water? If they didn't have good food, good healthy food to eat? No, if they if they breathed in contaminated air, drink contaminated water, eat poisoned food, there's no way that your family that you love so much could survive. So beyond that if you whatever you really care about whether it's family, money, success, your job, if you get down to the root of it, none of that is possible. If we don't have a healthy earth that we can live on, that we can breathe healthy air, get wholesome sunshine, drink clean water and eat healthy food, none of what you think is important can be possible. And I think that's why Il-Chili, he really, really emphasizes that people need to get out of this selfish viewpoint of, Oh, I don't care if there's plastic in the ocean, I'm living healthy, I'm living a good life, I have lots of money, my family is well off, who gives, right? But if you think about it, it's all connected back to, it really is our problem. It's not a problem that's separate from me, separate from other people. Having a contaminated earth really is my problem and my family's problem, because it affects us every single day.  Wow. And it's like that in some countries. Yeah, it's already like that. Yeah, you have some pictures in like China. They have to wear those masks, like all that stuff. And I heard a really sad story from from China that just really broke my heart.  They draw gray. Wow. You know, we draw blue with white fluffy clouds as a shine and yellow and yeah. But recently these kids in China, you asked them to draw the sky and they colored it gray. Wow. Because that's all they know. Right. That they think that's normal.  And if I know to draw a blue sky and and clouds and the kids who are maybe like 20 years younger than me or a little bit younger than me, now they're drawing gray skies. What will happen to their kids 20 years after that? Wow. Are they going to know what a sky is? No, just in the story books. Right. Wow, that is crazy. So that's the rate at that we're going because so many people are only focused on me, me, me, me, my family, my happiness, my health. And I don't care at what cost that it brings to other people. So I think that's a really important thing about our citizenship is expanding your awareness to go beyond me, go beyond my family, go beyond my citizens, you know, to really think about everybody.  That is a basic human right, no matter what background you are from. And if we can't provide that for each other, then we have truly, truly failed ourselves and failed each other. And we cannot be happy if so many other people are suffering and the world is dying. That's common sense. It's basic knowledge. You know, it's not I'm not saying this because I'm a spiritual person, it has nothing to do with spirituality. It's just pure, common science, facts, and common sense. What do you think, Gabby? I think I definitely agree. And if I were you, you know, I think of ways how I can live up to the Earth's citizen spirit. So there's actually the Earth's citizen organization that promotes this, everything we talked about today, like really, you know, finding yourself and finding that bigger picture than just yourself, caring about the Earth and then doing things to promote a better environment and climate. So that's also another thing that it'll cheat, it'll cheat we promote Earth citizens organization. Yeah. So if you are really inspired by this, and you're wondering how you can become an Earth citizen, as Gabby mentioned, you can go on the Earth citizens website, which is earthcitizensplural.org. And then read up and then also you can make a donation to the nonprofit organization that helps to bring more awareness and create leaders who care about the earth. So you can get involved that way. But also another thing that you can do right now is in a single day, we make so many choices. And ask yourself at each choice, is this something that is harming to the earth, or not harming to the earth? So for example, think about the next time you just mindlessly pick up a single waste single use plastic water bottle, and just mindlessly dump it away and then pick up another plastic water bottle and drink like five plastic water bottles in one day. Is that really necessary? Or can you you know, the best would be if you have a reusable bottle, and you don't have to use a plastic water bottle. But if you don't have one, can you just use that one plastic water bottle and keep refilling it throughout the day. So you only use one instead of 10 in one day. Right. So little things like that. How is this action going to pan out for the earth pan out for myself? And that's a really good way to practice expanding your consciousness and awareness to be just beyond my comfort beyond my luxurious lifestyle. So Mashable recently wrote an article about the top ways to reduce plastic waste. So they mentioned things like buying stainless steel straws and getting reusable shopping bags and reusable water bottles. Those are the top three ways. So that's not only like money saving tips, but also saving the earth as well. Yes, I love them. Yeah, I think if there's one way that you can help the earth, it's definitely plastic. Yes. Yes, if you can go beyond plastic to other things, great. But if you don't know where to start, and you're having trouble, the first place we should start is reducing plastic. I think that's so easy to do. Yes. So what do you think about earth citizenship? And what do you think about the earth citizen spirit? I want to know your thoughts. So please let us know down in the comments below what you think. And I want to ask you, are you an earth citizen? Think about it.  What does that mean? And how can I change my actions to be something that's more loving to the earth? Because ultimately more loving for the earth means more loving to other people, which translates to more love for myself. It's all connected. They are not separate. So if you want to practice self love, which I know a lot of people want to do self love self care. There's no self love or self care without self love self care for each other and the earth. And I truly believe that. So one more thing I'd like to mention before we close is something called the earth citizen movement, which was created by Ilchi Lee. And in essence, that earth citizen movement is a call to invite more people, more more earth citizens like you and I to come together who have this expanded awareness and the sense of responsibility to take care of each other and the earth. And the more people who can have that kind of awareness and mentality, the more hope there is of saving this earth. Because it's not something that just I can do or she can do or just a small group of people can do to really create a massive change on earth. We need you. We need everybody who can think of themselves beyond their labels and work and come together to create an earth that brings health, happiness and peace for everybody. So that is the earth citizen movement that I would love to invite every single person to be a part of because you matter, no matter how small you think you are, you matter. And especially if it's something related to the earth, every single person counts. Doesn't matter what background doesn't matter anything that you went through in life.  If this inspired you in any way, definitely we invite you to join and become an earth citizen with us because this is not something as she said that we can do by ourselves. We need to all do this together to save the earth together. So are you an earth citizen? Let me know in the comments below any of your responses to the questions we ask what you think about earth citizenship. If you like it, if you want to adapt it, any thoughts that you have about anything that we mentioned in the podcast, please let us know in the comments below. We'd love to read them. Thanks for tuning in, everybody. We'll see you next time on another episode of Change Podcast. Bye.
