And I'm really excited to welcome back to my show after I'm guessing it is a bare minimum of nine, 10 years. Since I've been on air for 13, once upon a time, I had a publicist say to me back in my younger radio years, there's a book you need to read. She knew my taste and she told me I had to pick up Paul Selig's book called I Am Word. I read the book. My jaw was wide open. I was really moved by the information and the wisdom therein. And I contacted Paul Selig in New York City and I said, I don't know if you'd be willing to come on my show, but I'd really like to have that conversation. And not only did he say yes, but he flew from New York to Los Angeles to be with me at the station. And he is here again on technology. He's on that coast. I'm on this coast. And my question to you is, what would you like to know? Would you like to know what is beyond the known? Paul Selig is here and he is considered to be one of the foremost channels today and in his breakthrough work, all these amazing books that he's written with channeled literature, such as I Am the Word, the Book of Love and Creation, the Book of Knowing and Worth, the Book of Mastery, the Book of Truth and the Book of Freedom, and his latest, Beyond the Known, Realization, which we are going to be talking about today. Author and medium Paul Selig has recorded an extraordinary program in all of his books for personal and planetary evolution. His work has been featured on ABC News Nightline, Fox News, the biography channel series, The Unexplained, Guy M. TV's Beyond Belief and the documentary film made by his friend and mine, Paul, excuse me, Bill Bennett, Bill Bennett, PGS, Your Personal Guidance System. And Paul has appeared on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie and Bob Olson's After Life TV. Paul offers channeled workshops internationally and serves on the faculty of the Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. He's a noted educator, has served 25 years on the faculty of NYU, directed the MFA Creative Writing Program at Goddard College, and now serves on the college's board of trustees. In New York City, where Paul is, he maintains a private practice. As an intuitive and conducts frequent live stream seminars, you can find out more about him at his name, PaulSeligS-E-L-I-G dot com. And a very happily welcome, Paul, to the Dare to Change show. It's great to have you back. Thanks, thanks for having me back. It's great to be here. I hope that since you've been on my show, I think you mentioned that my radio show was the first you had ever done. Yeah. I hope it's been all uphill from there. You know, that was a high place to start. So, you know, I'll put it that way and I enjoyed it. And I recall at the time, the woman who told you about my work was somebody I didn't even know. She had written me and said, I'm a pop assist. I read your book and I'd like to help you. And I thought, well, this is kind of astonishing. And so that's how it began. But yeah, I've been out there a lot since we spoke last and there've been a lot of books that have come out since. And I just keep showing up for whatever is asked of me and, you know, trying to stay on my feet through it all. Well, I want to start there because, Paul, you are actually a reluctant medium channel. And I find this humility, this humbleness, if you will, to be really endearing. You're not somebody who shows up and says, I'm a guru or follow me. You actually have some trepidation with the position you've been put in. Can you talk a little bit about that? Well, this isn't what I thought I'd be doing with my life. You know, I work as a radio. That's how I think of my work. I'm a radio for these guides that dictate these books. And I seem to have this very odd skill set that allows for, you know, the channeling and the psychic work that I do. But I don't understand how it works and I don't really think it makes me special. And I am a little bit confounded by the fact that this is happening and continues to happen. And it challenges me enormously. I mean, I've been doing this work for a very long time. I did a group that met in my apartment that began when I was about 31, 32 years old and I'm now 58. So it's not that I'm a newbie to the work, but I wasn't expecting to be known for it. I did the work in my apartment covertly. I wasn't seeking to be known for this at all. And when the book started coming, I had to step up to the plate and sort of acknowledge the fact that my name was on the cover of this book that I didn't write. And that I really couldn't pretend it wasn't happening, which is what I had been doing.  And I had a website without my name on it or without my photograph. You had to know somebody to get an appointment with me in those days. That's the only way I would do a reading. But I show up anyway, and I do show up in spite of my confusion.  And I can do this work if I show up authentically for it. And that includes with my questions and with my worry, you know, and those things that I hope to move beyond someday. But I don't know that the way to do that is to present myself as somebody who's enlightened, because I'm just somebody showing up for the work as best he can. And that's what I have to offer. And I kind of leave it at that. And in your ability to get out of the way and show up authentically and really help people worldwide at this point, it's just amazing since I first met you, literally where you're operating today. And how many people know of you? It seems to me divine or maybe guided by your guides that all of this is happening and has been ordained. Do you receive assistance yourself as you assist others? Yeah, if I'm willing to listen to it, that's the caveat here. I have free will and the guides I work with don't override my free will, nor do they tell people what to do. They really don't tell me what to do. But if I ask, I can hear the guidance I receive from myself is generally in the moment in the day. I'm not getting forecasts for myself. I don't know what my lucky numbers are. I don't know where or if I'm ever going to meet my partner. I'd love to get that information, but that's not how I'm treated. You know, the example I sometimes use is, you know, if I want to walk headfirst into traffic, they're going to let me. But if I say, is this a good time to cross the street, they'll say not wise, you know, and it's still up to me what I do. So I am supported on that level in terms of the career, if you want to call it that, or the work that's come to me through this, none of that was planned. I don't have a two-year or five-year plan. I never did. I try to show up for what I'm asked to do. And because I've been willing to do that, often, when it's the last thing I want to do, for whatever reason, the right people have shown up to support the work every step of the way. And that goes back to that publicist, you know, I think it was Makita who called me and said, hi, you don't know me, but I read your book and I want to help. It was like, wow, you know, I don't think I knew what a publicist was. So, you know, that's how this has happened. And I continue to trust that if I continue to show up and stay open to what's next and not block it with my fear, my worry, it may well continue. Occasionally, I meet people who are trying to get a career at this. And I think, why would you want it? It doesn't make any sense.  I do verbal stenography for the guys. It's not terribly sexy if you think about it. It's taking dictation. It's channeling, but I don't know how one pursues a career at this. I think if you can show up for the work. And like I said, I did this for 18 years in my apartment with three or five or 20 people showing up for an evening and putting 10 or 20 bucks in a basket. And that was fine. I could order a pizza afterwards. I wasn't hungry, you know. So that's my story and other people are showing up, I suppose, prepared in very different ways than I was. It took me some time to get ready for this. And who prays, how are your guides? Well, I call them the guides only because my ex, when my, this isn't years ago, when my ex found out I could do this, because I've been keeping it a secret, he used to say, ask the guides this, ask the guides that. They got to be called the guides, and they don't seem to mind the name. They're teachers, you know, finally. They've called themselves different things. When they use a name, they'll say, if you wish to call us something, you may, you know, call us Melchizedek, which is the name that they've come with, which is a priesthood.  They're the realized self or, you know, the realized self they use interchangeably with the term, the Christ, which is their definition of the Christ is the aspect of the creator that can be realized in material form, the true divine self, the infinite divine self. They use that name and, you know, they've said ascended masters, teachers, but it's a collective. There's one that I've seen on occasion, visually. And I, both two or three times, I've been so surprised, but he shows up quite the same and he's quite wonderful to see. He's got a long, long beard and a big, tall hat. And beautiful, deep, deep, pale blue eyes. And I'm told that when I channel, I haven't seen this and the guys occasionally work with people individually that my eyes turn bright blue and I have hazel eyes, but I know those eyes. And he's got a wonderful sense of humor and deep, deep, deep compassion really moved by. I mean, when I've seen him, I've been in that energy and I'm in that energy when I channel, which is, you know, part of the reason I enjoy doing it. I get to sit in that field and become that as it were as they work through me. So beautiful. I love that idea of they are you fully realized. There's so much power in that. And I would like to talk a little bit about this beautiful book. I don't know who designs these, but each one of them, they're so sumptuous. And in a sense, I mean, I do books for living, so I really appreciate how beautiful the simplicity, but the potency all at once is really clear. Like you can feel there's something special in here. So the teachings in this book will call it just realization for short. It's broken up into 28 days. In order that we work towards manifesting our divine self, much like what you're saying. Excuse me. So if we want to manifest the divine self, your book explains, we need to shatter socially constructed identities. Wow, that we perceive ourselves to be. So I'm curious, coming from an idea that we're a Blacks and that it's often our subconscious running the show. We don't know it, right? But it's this projection we're living in. And at the same time concurrently, it's hiding truths from us because we're living under this really limited idea of a reality. So if that said, and if we are living like that often, how can we fully tap into the reality of who we are? If the subconscious is running the show. And then how do we smash the identity that we think we are? I don't think that the identity gets smashed. I don't get that there's anything wrong per se with what the guides call the small self, which is really just the personality structure. They say it's the mask that we operate with in commerce. You know, I'll say this is who I am and you say this is who you are. And, you know, that's where the post office is. And this is what it costs to buy a quart of milk. And these are all things sort of known at that level. They talk about the true self, assuming the other aspects of us, which is reclaiming these aspects. Nothing is really, I think, cauterized per se or dismissed. I don't think reclamation happens at that level. But guides have said, you know, if you've got a body buried in the basement of your consciousness, eventually it's going to stink up the whole house. And so the opportunity is to release or receive what has been buried. The guides speak extremely little about the subconscious. They really, it's not one of their terms. I think they may have used the term ego twice and maybe the term dimension or word dimension five times in all of their books, but they have their own language, you know, for how they teach and what they teach with. Much of it seems to be based in music. They talk about octaves and realities and highs and lows and sound. But my understanding, if I'm correct, and they may want to come in and correct me if I'm wrong, and that sometimes happens, is that the true self, the aspect of self who knows who it is, is not ruled by that pattern. Is not prey to the old tapes of indoctrination of who and what we were taught to be. So the true self in its reclamation, my understanding is assumes or reclaims all aspects of self, inclusive of those things perhaps that have been buried. In the book of truth, which was their sixth book, I think, no, fifth book, they talked about this time and that book was dictated right before the last presidential election. And they said, what's about to happen is that the energy of truth is here and everything that's been buried is about to come up. You know, and they said, if you can include it within yourself and culturally, if you can imagine your backyard has now become an archaeological dig and what was buried, you know, five days ago and 5,000 years ago comes to the surface, it's going to look like a bit of a mess. These things aren't coming up to be shamed or blamed or run from. They're coming up to be seen because nothing is healed. They say that's denied the light. So this process of exhumation, which I assume is inclusive of the beliefs that you're talking about, are all part of this process that they're taking us through. Getting to the true self. Okay. It's very apropos, we had a listener who wrote in by the name of Corinne and her question for you was, how does Paul explain the extreme polarity that we are seeing right now in our politics and in our lives and what do we do as individuals to bridge the gap? Well, I'm going to say this first because, you know, I'm not the author of the books. I'm the channel, you know, so when I talk, I'm trying to interpret the teachings, but the guides have said, and then I'll let them get into this if they want to come through. I wasn't planning on channeling, but it happens, you know, when I don't know the answer and they want to take it. The guides say the only problem humanity is facing right now, and there's only one, they say it's the denial of the inherent divine. That's the only problem, the divine that expresses in all things. They say you really can't be the light and hold another in darkness. And they say the action of fear is to claim more fear and who you put in darkness calls you to that darkness.  And I think a lot of the division that we're seeing right now or that polarity is sort of the playing out of this stuff. The guides say, you know, we've claimed separation from our brother or sister, whoever's beside us, to such an extent that we've claimed separation from source. Now, they say, and none of this is a convenient teaching. God is all things, including the person you can't stand. You know, you really don't get to have it both ways. It doesn't mean you condone behavior or people aren't accountable to their acts, but to deny the divine in anyone, they say, is to deny it in yourself. You really don't get to have it both ways. Again, you can't be the light and hold another in darkness. So I'm going to see if I can do this now and see if they want to say anything about the times and polarity we enjoy doing. So they're saying we would enjoy doing so. You might have a choice. Humanity has made a choice to move beyond the old, the old system, the old systems of control. The mandate is born in fear. The mandate is born in fear.     All things must be made new. All things must be made new, reclaimed or seen. Reclaimed or seen in a higher octave, in a higher octave of the division you're seeing. The division you are seeing is the denial of divine. Is the denial of the divine projected upon others and within this self, what you deny the light in, in yourself you deny it as well. You deny in others as well, must be reclaimed, must be reclaimed ready for humanity to move forward to a higher chord, to a higher chord period. In that same period. So I didn't say when I channel, I whisper and repeat and that's how it comes through. It's awkward, it's all get out, but that's how it happens. Thank you. So with what they are sharing, and with what is currently happening, that is basically showing us the underbelly, if you will. This is our separation. This is where we have divorced ourselves from our own divine divinity. How? Of two questions, I guess. The first is, what does this portend? What then is going to happen? How long do we need to be in this space of this chasm? Well, what they said, and they said this in the very first book, I am the Word. I don't know if they're gonna give a timeline, they never do to me, but they said humanity is at a time of reckoning and a reckoning is a facing of oneself and all of one's creations and everything that's been claimed or created in fear needs to be reclaimed in a higher way. And they basically have said that everything that's built on fear has a basis in fear, has to be renowned and some of what we're encountering now seems to be the crumbling of the institutions that were sort of cemented in fear.  You know, a bank is an idea that we've given great power to and great credence to, but it's what the bank has become or what religion has become or what government has become, you know? There's nothing wrong with the principle behind any of this thing is the distortions that I suspect become attached to that are being addressed. So the guides are now using this claim when they work.  Everything else is just an idea that we've gone into an agreement to in a lower vibrational field. The realization of the divine self, they say calls to you a different level of resonance tone and they say because we are in agreement and agreement means vibrational accord to everything that we see, which means if you can see it, you're in accord to it. It doesn't mean you made it happen. It means you can see the sky, you're in accord to the sky, you see the war, you're in accordance with the war. The consciousness that you bring to anything claims that in vibration and claims your relationship to it.  They say through a teaching of co-residence it's who the perceiver is. They say God sees God in everything. You see, it's really very simple and the true self, the divine self and realization can't deny the divine in anyone else. That's always the act of the small self who's been taught what to agree to, what to value, how things should be based on historical edicts. So I don't get a timeframe on this. I just get that we're in it and we've got a whole lot of work to do. Hmm, okay. So you and the guides talking about beyond perceived limitations and in the book it goes into achieving ultimate manifestation. You know, them's fighting words, right? There is these. That's the publisher's definition of the text. Not mine. I don't think the guides have ever said ultimate manifestation because I don't know if there's an ultimate manifestation. I think that there are always higher levels of awareness to come to. I think what the guides are teaching is what they say is the level of realization that can be attained while maintaining form. They talked about the upper room. I'm explaining it this way, it's simple. The guides say that we're living in an octave. An octave is comprised of high and low notes. It's musical tone and vibration. Everything that we know is expressing within this octave. They say any piece of music can be sung in a higher octave. It can be, I don't know what the word is, transposed to a higher key. The teaching that they're bringing through is the teaching of how we are transposed to operate in a higher key. At that level of vibration in the upper octave, you're not bound by the systems of agreement that express in the lower. So imagine this, you know, we all know like dogs can hear notes that humans can hear. There are notes that we don't hear because we're not in alignment to them and there are levels of awareness that we're not in alignment to at this level. So what the guides say, the next octave is, they call it the upper room, is the level that we can operate through while maintaining form. The challenge is we're still in bodies, we're still operating, the bodies themselves have to go through a process of what they call rearticulation. They say part of the problems we've had or some of the problems we've had are based on this old schemata that if there is a God, it's up there in the heavens and we're stuck here in the mud and they say, well, God is the mud and it's also your body. You can't exclude the divine in form. If you exclude the divine in form as yourself, you must thereby be excluding the divine that expresses an old manifestation and then you're operating again with the denial of God being a problem. Right, there's a quote from your book which is, now when we teach you about manifestation, we're taking two things into consideration, that you want things and that you assume that God is supposed to give them to you. These are both wrong-minded and we must tell you why. So when I was reading this passage and beyond, I was wondering is the realization there that when we have this desire and it calls to us that it also comes equipped with a level of alignment with source already providing what's needed. In other words, the path is clear. That's what I understand exactly, yes. The guides have said there's nothing wrong with the house on the hill. Somebody gets to live there, but why do you want it? And if you want it so that you can be the envy of your neighbors, you're operating in fear. And all of these things that we think we're supposed to have or get or want, they're basically the ideas that we've inherited, they're the shoulds that we operate with and the true self, they say doesn't operate that way. But yes, I get that if you're operating at the level that they teach, you're provided for, that's the level of vibrational accord that you come to. The heart's desire is the true self's expression. That's my understanding. I heard Lionel Ritchie, who was once with the Commodore is just the other night, I was watching him on TV and he was talking to an aspiring singer who was talking about, I write all these songs but I live in Arkansas. Yeah, thought about Nashville, but right now I've got a job. And Lionel Ritchie looked at him and said, you can circle the pond and you can circle the pond and you can think about how right it's gonna be if you do what you wanna do or you can jump into the pond. And I thought, that's really very powerful advice to give to somebody, right? You're basically saying the pond is your desire and you're so busy going around and around it, cogitating, is this right to do what will happen if I do, how it would turn out if I do, and doing all the right things but basically you're never swimming.  I think that's really apropos for so many people who have such a strong compelling desire to do something but live out of this fear, live out of this concern, this self-protection. I read for people and so often, one of the teachings of the guides is this attunement, I know who I am in truth, I know what I am in truth, I know how I serve in truth. And the guides say how we serve is how we're most fully expressed as the true self. It doesn't have to be your career, but people in this culture tend to think it's what the career is and that's how you serve. But I don't know, when I was reading for somebody once and the question came up, what would you do if you could do anything? If you weren't worried about how it looked or what the salary was or what your parents thought of it or what would you do if you could do anything? And it's amazing how many people never asked that question. And that's usually the answer. Reading once for an attorney and he wasn't very happy and he was a very successful man. And I tuned into him and I said, you're not gonna wanna hear this, but I'm seeing you tending bar. And he looked at me with such sadness and he said, you know, the happiest summer of my life was after college when I was tending bar. And this may have been somebody who could have had a great life as a bartender and chose what he was supposed to choose or what one is supposed to choose. And I think moving beyond those shoes is a big way to enter into the new. Yeah, indeed. And speaking of shoes, I'm also curious about how much we create. So I was thinking about this this morning, knowing that I was gonna be talking to you and thinking about when is a cigar just a cigar? So there's a lot of people, for instance, today who have autoimmune diseases. And no joke, you know, it really is not fun whichever one on the buffet somebody has, but it can be a very painful and difficult life producing, physical producing experience. So for instance, an autoimmune disease, are these things always at some level co-created and created at the level of thought? Or sometimes is it so destined to have that experience in one's life? I don't know, you know, I mean, this is again a question for them. I personally suspect that both are true.  And the guys I work with don't quite say it that way. They say you're in accord with everything, which means vibrational accord, but there's the personal and the collective. So again, it's like, I said to them once, so does that mean, does that mean if there's a book on the table in Paris, I'm in accord with it? And they said, the moment you know that there's a book on the table in Paris, yes, because your consciousness informs your relationship to it. But it doesn't mean I created the war in Iraq. It does mean that I confirm the war through consciousness and through alignment.  And I think, you know what?  I don't know. I do think that everything is finally an opportunity to learn. Finally can be seen that way and must be seen that way so that we don't begin to operate through victimhood as a structure. But I also believe that the collective is claiming reality and then we're in agreement to the collective. So the guides have said, you know, you live in a world that has known war for so long that you can't imagine being without it. And frequently you're always going to be claiming war and that's an expectation you have. They say until you humanity rises to a level of consciousness where war is not an option, you're going to have it. War doesn't exist in what they call the upper room. Fear doesn't exist. War is an expression of fear. Whether war is based in greed or borders or oil, what have you, you know. The action of fear is to claim more fear. And they say many of the things that we call something else are actually just ways that fear is being expressed in the workshops that they do and in the books. They bring people to this level of vibration they call it the upper room. And once they get them there, they'll say, you know, what are you frightened of? And there's nothing there. At that level, you're not afraid. It doesn't exist. But we get provoked and we go right back downstairs to where we know ourselves and our comfort. You know, the guides basically say, you know, you're used to living in the basement apartment with a basement view and we can take you up to the 10th floor.  And it's a choice. It's the divestment of the old. It's the release of those ideas, I suspect, and the attachment to what then you should be, which is the level of entrainment to the collective that allows us to move beyond it. But we're gonna take a very quick break and when we come back, we'll be talking about attunements to energy. This is Debbie Dashinger on Dare to Dream podcast. And next rolling out is an anthology. For those of you who've been with me for a long time, I coach how to write a book and a book that is a page turner. I figure if you're gonna take the time and books take time, then write something that we all really love reading. I've also got a company that takes authors to guaranteed international bestseller and I teach the ultimate visibility formula at debbied.net slash visibility about how you can be interviewed on radio with podcasts in 60 days or less and get really great results. Right now I've got an amazing new project rolling out and it is an anthology book, a compilation about dogs. One of my favorite subjects and I wanted to do something a little bit more lofty and whimsical and I wanted to talk about something that I think is a game changer.  So if you have a dog, have had an experience with a dog, are ready to become an author. This book will be taken to a guaranteed international bestseller. I'm gonna help everybody with every piece of the process. It will be fully edited for you with a beautiful book cover and the entire start to finish will be fully done for you. We are just about to take applications and the doors are now open and when the 25 chapter slots are full, the doors will close. You can go to debbied.net, it's D-E-B-B-I, no E, D-E-B-B-I-D.net slash anthology, read more there. There's also a video for you and if you're ready to register or what to get some friends in on it too, make sure you book your chapters today. And if you're just tuning in after we started, this is Dear Two Dream. I'm speaking with Paul Selling. He is the author of several books. His latest that we're discussing is Beyond the Known, Realization and you can find out more at his name, pauleselig.com. And Paul, you say that the guides work with attunements to energy. What is an attunement? I mean, we're talking musicality and I have a huge background in music so I'm already feeling that and I know it's from your book but talk about in this form what that means to attune and how does it work and how can we self-facilitate? Well, the attunements are in all the books and they're probably up on YouTube at this point as well in varying videos because the guides always do them. And the attunement is supporting us in a reclamation of who and what we are. The very first one that they brought through was the attunement to what they called the word and I said the word is the energy of the creator in action. And what they are are spoken in vocations that work directly on the energetic field. So if you've studied Reiki or something like that and your teacher attuned the energy through your hands this is done through language and intonation. It's the sound of the words and intent behind the words that calls the attunement into being. They're all really very palpable. People can generally feel them right away when they say them and they build one upon the next. So it's a simple way to think about it.  When you claim the attunements, what you're doing basically is tuning the radio that you are to play the level of broadcast that comes. So the guides say we're all radios. We're always an expression. Our expression is your consciousness. That's really what it is. And what they're doing is they're supporting us and playing the stations that they say have always been there. But we haven't known we could align to. So that's what the attunements are. They progress throughout the books. There's the one in the Aminon realization is the claim I have come, which is say the claim of the true self in the manifestation. And that's claimed, they say, in what they call the upper room. The first series of attunements is all about the alignment of form, body, energetic field and identity to the higher. I know who I am in true, which they say is claimed by the true self. I know what I am in truth, which is the manifestation of the divine form. And I know how I serve in truth, which is the expression of it. And then they lift us in that level to what they call the upper room. And then the next spade of attunements come from there. They're quite something. I'm just getting comfortable with what they're teaching now because they keep moving me well, well beyond my comfort zone. That's always- Quickly, it seems, because it's amazing how, just in the last nine years from what I first experienced of you, and you were brilliant back then, but this is, and of course I saw you recently in your workshop in Los Angeles. And it's like, wow. And you basically were channeling people who asked you questions so that you could give them an answer of their experience and then some guidance. And it was incredibly powerful. I've never seen anything like it. Well, they call me a medium for the living. So, you know, I'm a radio. So when I'm channeling the station that I'm playing is the guides and I'm taking dictation. But if you ask me to read for you and you wanna know what's going on in your relationship with your sister to give me your sister's name, I just tune into your sister. And I play her station. She'll be talking to me and I can hear and relay that. And it's quite accurate, I'm told. And I've been filming it with people that I've never met and seen and I often take on their physicality. It's an interesting ability. I guess a form of clear sentience is the best way that I can understand it. But I consider that the psychic work and I consider the channeling the spiritual work because the guides are teachers. They don't really seem to care whether I get a partner or whether I figure out where I'm supposed to live. I mean, that's my business. And I can, you know, use my means to get there. But they do very much care about the level of consciousness that we operate in and the level of realization that we can come to if we choose it. Well, I have a question for you and or them. So I have a lot of dog-eared pages in here. Yeah. And at some point, I mean, at first I was yelling and highlighting and at some point I just started realizing these attunements were blowing my mind. And what I love to do every day is emotional freedom technique. It's really powerful for me, EFT. And I was thinking about, but I would want your there blessing to go back through this and to make recordings for my ears only, but to make recordings of these doing the meridians and tapping to really release anything that is not this, the truth, the highest, a truest self and to allow in the energy of this completely. What do you think? I think that's fine. I know others have done it. I hear the stories. So yes, you can work with this. It's your energy system. You know, the attunements are there for you to work with. I, you know, I, people have muscle tested that themselves to see where they're at with them. You know, the guides I work with do this thing called the Moogrid creation, which is another way of sort of understanding how you're aligned and what level of alignment you're in agreement to. But that sounds good to me. So enjoy it. Let me know how it goes. I will. It'll be a lot of work. I can tell you right now because there's quite a few of these attunements in here, but yeah, they indeed build.  It's like architecture. And I like what it's building. Glad. Thank you. So the re-articulation, let's talk about that. So what does it mean to be re-articulated as the true self? Let me see if I can do this or I should go to them. I'm pooped today. You have to forgive me. So sometimes when I'm tired, I'm not at my best, but that doesn't seem to stop the guides so much. So the guides say that everything is in articulation. Do you understand this? Everything in form is an articulation of source. There's one note they say being played in the entire universe that's played out as everything we see. So God is all things. It's just vibration operating at different levels. And they talk about God as sort of the infrastructure of everything, you know, it's what makes everything. They use the metaphor of paint on a canvas. So say you have a bunch of paint and then you add pigment to it. It takes different colors and then you render images on the canvas and suddenly there's narrative. That's a ship at sea and that's a sunbather and that's a sky and a moonlit night. But frankly, it's all paint. It's all one thing that's being seen and depicted in different ways. So everything we see they are saying is in articulation. Re-articulation is the transposing or the lifting to the true nature beyond the structure of the false self that we've been operating through. Again, there's nothing wrong with personality. They're not pretending we don't have it. It's a process of reclamation.  You know, we're not what we do for a living. We're not our gender. We're not our age. We're not what people think of us. We're something far more than that. And the realization of the that, the thing that we're far more of, is what they're teaching us. And that's the self in a higher expression, which is rearticulation. Got it. How is there a methodology? Is there a way we can speak it into the upliftment? Is there a way we can? That's what the books are all about. It's all about a system. You know, it took me a long time to understand what they were really doing. When I was young, in my, like, 31, you know, I asked in deep sincerity, and it's a much longer story, but I said I want to go all the way with this in a real belief that it was so. And I believe that what the guides are delivering is a way for people who want realization to claim it. It's a mystical teaching. This isn't self-help. It's not how to, you know, get a better looking boyfriend or a bigger house. I mean, those things are fine, but that's not what the teaching is. So how can I say this? I didn't remember what I was saying because I took a quick digression. So the question was about how can we rearticulate? No matter where we're vibrating, how can we make that choice to go to the upper room? And is there a choice, or is there a process, or is there a something? And it's a process. I remember what I was gonna say. In the very first book, I'm the word, there was a line in it and I said, the Christ in man or humanity is an event that happens. And I just thought, well, that's nice. Maybe that means we all, you know, get to be a bit more spiritual, a little bit nicer to each other. I didn't know. They're really talking about realization at that level. And the process of realization, which comes in stages, is what they take us through in the books. So the first six books, in a lot of ways, I think were preparatory for realization, which is the book of the upper room. What they're teaching now, because there's another book coming out in August that's done, I've just been improving it last night, is really what the process is between the octaves, the process of divestment, the process of releasing fear and unforgiveness and all of sort of the cultural edicts. It's a really interesting book. I was, I don't read the books until I'm usually in the recording studio and under the audio books, because the books are all dictated verbally. There's no speaking. There's no writing at all. And the last three or four books were dictated entirely in front of audiences. So the recording goes off to the transcriptionist and then I'll proof it, but I can't really read it until it's in printed typeset. Because then I can read it like somebody else delivered it and it can come through my mouth. But the process is rather astonishing and it does build. And I suspect that where they're taking us is to a level of authenticity for lack of a better word, that we can't really quite comprehend because we're so enmeshed in the idea of who we are and who we're supposed to be that sort of operating beyond that feels like an impossibility. I know it does for me still at times when I'm reading these things, but I can feel the energy and the guides have been enormously consistent over these dictations. I don't think that contradicts themselves yet. And what's now six or eight books? You know, I can have the most extraordinary experience of what you're talking about in the most unexpected times. I was at a yoga class last week, which typically is just a yoga class for me. But at the very end, after Shavasana, we were sitting and just in a meditative state, breathing, and that was it. And honestly, although much of my life is fantastic, there are a few elements that are, there's a lot of shift and change happening right now. And with that shift and change is a lot of discomfort and with the discomfort is coming, the feelings which for me for sure are a lower vibration. And I was sitting there just on my mat and just all of a sudden out of nowhere in that position, I realized the incredible power residing within me and the incredible light and that all was truly well in that moment. And I felt so glorious. I mean, so at peace and at one and the recognition was really pretty amazing to me that in just a breath that could be acquired like that and that remembrance could come in such an unexpected way. I was so deeply grateful. And I realized, well, that I have access to that any time. And of course, it completely changed the trajectory, the moment I got up and walked out. I couldn't forget what I had just remembered. Mm-hmm. That's how it happens. My biggest experiences were completely unplanned and life changing truthfully. It's kept me on the path, frankly. It's not because I want to channel. It's because I've had those glimpses of the unity that are so extraordinary that I don't want to be without it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the unity really is home, I feel. And gosh, I would have to go back and listen to your interview nine or 10 years ago to hear what you said back then. It would be really pretty joyful to hear, but here we are now today and it is dare to dream and what are your next dreams, Paul? What are your next goals or future visions for yourself? You know, I'm moving out of a period, I really think beginning with the dictation of the last book which began around this time last year, last March, I've really been in what feels kind of like a deep exonation of self and a lot of uncomfortable confronting of parts of myself. And I'm hoping that that changes soon because it's tiring, you know, it's real work. But I'm grateful for what I believe is on the other side and I do trust the guides on this one when they sort of explain to me that this is the process and this is just what you signed on for when you do some of this work. On a very practical level, my dreams are very simple. I want to like where I'm living, I want to be in a partnership that feels good, but I have to be careful. I was once traveling, I was at the Eselens, it was about five years ago. And somebody asked me, I don't know what it was, but I remember saying in this group, all I want is a partner and my dog to live forever. That's what I said. And that night, that afternoon, all the students left, I was sitting alone in a hot tub at Eselens which is beautiful and my scone started to hurt and I heard cancer and I went, oh my God, I have brain cancer, what's going on here? I went home to see my dog. I hadn't seen her for a week. She started to use her in that night.  She waited for me. And so I'm careful what I say, I want my locked dog to live forever. But what the guides had said to me after I said that was that wouldn't be kind to the dog. So I'm a little cautious about some of these wishes now. But I'm grateful for what comes, put it that way and continue to be. Yeah, and in your book, previous to this one, the book of truth, you have a quote which is, what am I to learn puts you in a position of humility and authority in any instance? Is that what you're referring to when you say you've been through this time of introspection and exhumation and all? That's introspection. I mean, the metaphor that the guides were using through this whole period when they taught was the metaphor of being on a ship at sea between two different continents. And the new continent is the unknown. It's the unexplored. And the process of sort of moving from one level of being, one way of knowing yourself to another is rather like going through a storm at sea. And sometimes the best you can do is hold onto the mast and trust that you're being navigated well because you can't really chart uncharted waters when you're doing some of this work. It's easy to sort of say, well, this is what's happening and this is that, but that's always referencing the old.  It's always a way of sort of trying to manage and control. So I don't know that that's what this process is, but the quote that you've spoke is very much that. It's very much that. And what am I to learn is the great question that the guides have said, you can't be a master and a victim at the same time. It's not possible. Anything you'd like to say here at the end, Paul? I think it's very nice to be back with you. I was up, all my proofing the new manuscript, which was late, so I had to send that in. So I'm hoping this was coherent for you today, but I'm grateful to be here. And it's nice to see you. So nothing else to add. Yes, for me as well. And so beautiful to revisit and hopefully you'll be back with your next book. Happy to keep having you here and visiting this ongoing conversation. And thank you so much for sharing your brilliance today. So grateful. Thank you. And folks, I end today's show with this quote from Paul Sellings, The Book of Mastery. Now, if you count in your hands the times you were wrong about anything, you will be counting for a very long time. But if you were to count again about how much you learned through everything you deemed to be wrong, you would be counting just as much. Tune in to the upcoming interviews.

On today's Pyramid Insider, friends, we are going to show you how to run your full auto crossman on HPA. Let's get into it. So you're already a PCP shooter, or you want to become one, and you like the fun factor of having a full auto BB gun. Well, one of the great things that AirVenturi has come out with here in the recent past is a bulk fill adapter for these crossmen. The R1, the MPW, your SBRs, your DPMSs, so pretty much all of your AR variant full auto crossman guns. This will work in, and we're going to show you how to install it today. You're going to buy this as a kit. So this is the PCP kit, comes with everything you see here. So you're going to get your 13 cubic inch HPA bottle. This fills the 3000 PSI and has a regulated output of 1100 PSI. You're going to get your bulk fill hose and fill assembly, and then your bulk fill adapter, which is going to go into the magazine of the gun. That's kind of the interesting part. So let's show you how to install it. So first things first, we need the magazine. So we're going to drop the mag out of the gun, put the gun down. Don't want any BBs in it or anything. And then we're going to pop the cover plate off just like so. And that reveals our empty CO2 housing area. Now the cool thing about this crossman is that because you have kind of the one you have to pierce first and then second, you can actually leave this chamber empty. If it makes you feel better, you could throw an empty cartridge in there, I guess. But the rest of this is actually really simple. So we're going to take our Allen key, and we're actually going to remove this first screw. Now with that screw removed, we're going to take our bulk fill adapter, and you can see it's threaded on the end there. And we're just going to run it up through that screw hole. And then we're going to feed it on in. And you'll notice it has some wrench flats on there. We're going to take a wrench once we make sure. Nice and centered on the seal here. Then you're just going to take a wrench once you get it as hand tight as it'll go. And just give it a little bit extra just to make sure it's cinched down there nice and tight. Just like so should be all good just so it's not leaking or anything like that. But that's really all there is to it. Now if you do want to make this kind of a permanent thing and still have the gun look cool, you just go ahead and take the cover plate. And you're going to want to cut out right here. Right where it says open actually. You just make that cut. It'll still close no problem. But that'll give you still that authentic look once you get everything hooked up. But for our purposes here today, just to show you how it works, we're going to take that off and we'll leave it off. So next thing up, we are going to take our HPA bottle and we are going to install it onto our bulk fill assembly. Now the fill assembly here is really simple. It's a braided hose. You have, I believe it's rated up to 5,000 PSI. So running it off a 3,000 PSI bottle like so is not going to cause you any problems. But you do have, you want to make sure that this nozzle is backed out. This is actually your piercing cap here. So you are just going to thread your bottle right onto the end of this. And this will also fit bulk CO2 bottles if you wanted to go that route as well. So once we get that nice and tight, we're all good to go there. We don't want to tighten this down just yet. And on the end of our hose here, this is actually your bleeder for the hose. So that'll come into play later when we want to detach. But you make sure this is pushed up. And then we'll go ahead and hook the quick connect onto our magazine. Just like so. Snap it on. Make sure it's nice and tight. Not going to go anywhere. And then we can pressurize the system. Now I don't have this quite all the way full. We'll do that before we head out to the range. But there is enough air in it to test. So now I'm going to get this nice and tight and you'll hear it. And you heard it there. Pressurize and we are good to go. So once we have everything hooked up there, we just go ahead and pop the mag into the gun. We'll go out to the range and load it with BBs. But this is all there is to it. So the cool thing about this system, obviously, HPA is not temperature sensitive like CO2 is. So the great thing there is that we should get consistent velocities from our first shot until we fall off the regulator at 1100 psi. Now because this is a bulk source, you're probably going to get way more shots per fill than you are off the two CO2 cartridges. If memory serves, I think these deliver about 175 to 200 shots. So we're going to go out and put this on the range, blast some full auto BBs down range, give you some velocities as we're going along, just so you can see the general consistency that HPA is going to provide you. And also give you an idea of what kind of shot count you can expect with one of these Crossman CO2 guns on HPA. Let's do it. So what we did for our chronograph testing was we took the first shot on semi-auto over the chronograph. Just to get a kind of a speed check on each magazine, but 17 mags, holy cow, 425 BBs down range. So what I did first shot on semi-auto, rest of the mag on full. So running through, if that was on CO2, that would have been about 175 shots before we ran out of two cartridges, 425 shots on high pressure air, which is pretty awesome. So that's from 3,000 down to about 1,000 psi. So the numbers you're seeing on the screen here, you're getting a lot better consistency over those 425 shots than you would with CO2. Of course, you'd see kind of a descending string on CO2. And the great benefit here is that it's not temperature sensitive, which is awesome, a huge benefit for HPA over CO2, in my opinion. Now, you can refill the bottle while it's hooked up and everything, but to disengage everything, you're going to go ahead and twist counterclockwise on the knob up here that pierces the bottle. A couple turns is fine. You don't have to go all the way out just enough to get that off of the pin there.  And then you can disengage and you are good and safe there. Now, if you do want to take this guy off of here, there's going to be some excess pressure in the line. So all you need to do is do this, push that forward again, let the rest of the pressure in the line bleed, and then you can go ahead and disengage your bottle. So this new PCP kit from AirVentury for the Crossman full-auto guns, this is awesome to see. These bulk fill adapters, we get a lot of comments or requests for stuff like this. So to see it actually come to light, it's really cool. Very simple system. This is a nice hose kit. You can throw this in your back pocket and still run the gun easily. I like it a lot. Honestly, 400 plus shots off of one of these bottles is awesome. If you're already set up for PCP, this is a great alternative, especially if you've got little kids in the backyard, you want to do a lot of shooting. Or for those of you that don't want to go the CO2 route, you know, those cartridges, you got to keep buying them, right? If you got a hand pump or you got a compressor, this thing is one time, buy once, cry once, set up. So a really cool option, something you should definitely check out if you want to go full auto over the winter, you want to ditch the CO2, whatever. Check it out next time you're on Pyramid Air's website. We appreciate you a ton for watching for the Insider I'm Tyler Patner. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. We appreciate you a ton. We'll see you next time.


Now, while the backdrop of the current security environment is different, this type of mission is not new or different to the Second Cavalry Regiment. It's exactly who we are and why we exist. As a forward station, Striker Brigade Combat Team assigned to the United States Army, Europe and Africa, we routinely deploy across the European continent, and our major training exercises always include our NATO allies and partners. The Second Cavalry Regiment's standing mission remains to provide a ready and trained force that can do exactly what we're seeing today. Deploy professional combat credible forces to partner with our Alliance teammates. Our readiness demonstrates our resolve and it assures our allies and deters our adversaries.


human main architecture with us here on Think Tech Hawaii, the 320th time already. And we're gonna do it differently this time than we have never done it before. And if we can get the first slide up, we gonna have the, as the School of Architecture, we have a guest in another fellow German, Thomas Auer, who's gonna teach and talk with us how to design buildings as we had them in mid-century and we want them back again, which are easy breezy buildings and he knows how to do that, so we have him. And so here he is when we zoomed with him to connect to him and also I picked him up from the airport and we had our Mai Tai's beers at Arnold's, the Tiki Bar. And we hope you, when you watch the show, you will have been with us in the auditorium and listen to Thomas in his talk. And so the way we talk amongst each other is we, as on the show today, Richard Lowe again and Bandit Kandikakon in the background that we caught us last time that we were basically operating with each other as we were trained as for the sort of the prime time in life, the productive prime time in life, which is the core where we work and we generate income and we pay taxes and all of that. So everything seems to be conditional to that. Until then we train ourselves to get there and once we're not anymore, once we're retired or stopped doing this, we are in a different mode but we still treat us that way. So that's how you Bandit and I felt with you Rich that we were kind of having you on a leash. And according to the titles of the previous show which is themed after what you Bandit always meaning, well, say is let's go Mr. Lowe, but that means let's go somewhere where I want you to go based upon these previous paradigms. And we thought this might actually be not helpful due to what you all have to say to us Rich, where you are now, where you don't have to be felt obligated to all these things. So this is why we call the show now Mr. Lowe, let's go.    But, you know, you can't always look beautiful in life. Well, and isn't beauty highly subjective and relative, Rich? Yeah, it is actually. I'm glad you said that because it clears me of some of the fright that I might experience being. Do you remember who captured you that way, who took that picture? No, I don't, I have no idea. So this is one of the many mentees that, you know, really appreciate you being around and sharing you what you were thinking and what you're saying at this part of your life.  And I'm pretty sure because he's a very nice young gentleman, how you perceive this, I'm very sure it was not his attention because he's a nice guy that he would never put you on the spot and say, you know, I will depict, you know, Rich as an ugly man. He, you know, when talking to him, he basically said, I want to capture Rich in the moment that I found compelling. As not being sort of dressed up, right? And no makeup on and not the hair being made. It's just be who you were at this moment, right? Let's try that. And wanting to be real and honest, I put you on the spot, Bandit, in the background because you always said, oh, the Frankenstein picture. What I would like to do is to discuss one element of cleaning in my garden that's particularly defining. And that is, let's see, can I put a, I'd like to put something on the screen. Yeah, so Michael, can you try the next picture and you Rich, let us know if that's the picture, if that's not the one we go to other pictures. Is that the one you have in mind? That's exactly the picture. All right. Yeah, it's the sort of three buildings of a royalty kind of nature. The building on the left, which is maybe 20 floors high or something like that. That's called the Prince building. And then to the right of it are two higher rise buildings which are the King and the Queen of Queen Emma Gardens. But what I think is so fascinating about it is the site plan that supports these three buildings. And you can see there's kind of a heart shaped thing on the, it would be the west side of the King and the Queen buildings. And I think that those are particularly meaningful as a picture of a very pedestrian area for the people who live in these towers. And then on the left, on the right rather of the Prince building is a circular thing. And that is a swimming pool. And that's quite exciting to me. But because it gives people a chance to wander around on all the pathways that have been developed along with the buildings. And it shows how interesting a good site planning effort can be. I have walked on all of those pathways and hundreds of other people have done the same thing.  And yeah, it's a very orderly site plan. And the King and the Queen buildings which are on the right and left of the two buildings on the right and the Prince building on the left are particularly restrained and yet they have a lot to offer in the way of being in those buildings they can look down on the site plan and say to themselves I want to go there or I want to have my wedding in that little cottage on this side of the King and Queen building. And the site plan really defines a number of purposes that can be fulfilled by this complex of buildings and walkways and gardens and waterways and so forth. And that's something that I felt worth mentioning because we don't always get that in our city. So I'll pull that slide away for the moment. Yeah, and go to the next one maybe? Yeah, let's go to the next one. Now this one is if we want to get into the vocabulary of Kevin Lynch who was my sort of advisor at MIT and who defined various parts of the city as worth defining. And these, of course, these two towers which we can see at the right side of the slide are a marvelous depiction of where Queen Emma Gardens is. And you're coming down here from the Polly Highway at undoubtedly too high a speed. But you can see these two buildings standing there between the ocean and yourselves driving down the highway. I think that those are very telling ideas that I learned about and were somewhat defined at MIT which is always looking for meaning in everything. It's interesting as you introduce them to us as they were naming them as the royal couple, the king and the queen and they had a baby, the prince, the little kid tower, right? And here you also see the little kid tower to the left but you sort of don't see it, right? Because the parents, so to speak, are in your face and in line with the Polly Highway, right? And the little building guy, the prince, is there but he's like on the side of the parents. That's what you made me think about what you previously said and what we see here. I think that's a great description of what's before us and of the making of babies in general. Yeah. Which you were sharing with us that your personal baby grew up here, your first one grew up in the building. Actually, that's true, absolutely true. Yeah. My wife and I moved into Queen Emma Gardens which at the time you paid rent to move in too because they were all rented out to various people like me and then my late wife and children and people walking around on all the walkways of Queen Emma Gardens. It really is very nice to have in the landscape something like this to perhaps memorize about the nature of the city. So you want, speaking of which, having lived in there, you want to walk us back in and maybe go to the next slide? I do. The next slide is a corner of one of the kitchens of the apartments in Queen Emma Gardens and it's kept to a very simple system of wood doors and wood sort of movable walls and that sort of thing. And that kind of an aesthetic has been utilized throughout the building, whatever the room may be that we're looking at. And the second slide is a little larger scope than the previous slide. And it shows you how you can make the kitchen an attractive event even though it's just a kitchen in which people cook and serve. Yeah. And what you were pointing out, you inspire me to go back and sort of in more shows to kind of reflect on that. But what you said is that the kind of the moving walls and the shoji screen that you can see here, they allow you to actually transform in a multitude of ways. For example, in the previous slide, in the one before, there is a sort of paravant thing that you once, you have all the dirty dishes in the, Michael, if you can go back to the previous one, if you were lazy and you have all the dirty dishes not washed yet, right? And everything is piling up, but you don't want to do it yet, right?  You pull that thing closed.  And then with a shoji screen, you can also then say, well, I don't even want to see that. I want to be in the living room and not see a kitchen at all. So you can actually, as you've bonded, call it an open system. You could do various things and basically make your still rather sort of, you know, not opulent space, as you said last time, rich, but very sort of efficient and effective space. But you can multi-purpose that and multi-function it. And that certainly, it seems to me that what Kevin Lynch kind of talked to you on a large scale, as sort of a, you know, a city as a large building, also then holds true within the building itself, that you can turn it into sort of little different, small kind of scenarios, cities. Well, that's true. And that perhaps the next slide could be shown. And that is, it looks like a master building of a great big apartment, but it's not. It's a part of the living room. And it has the usual glass doors that allow you to look out at the, at gardens and cars and parking lots and walkways that you would want to know are there. This is interesting because, you know, at that time, talking prime time of life, you were in your 30s when you came here. I was not, I was barely born. So for me, this is something that, you know, this is the America that I had dreamed of from pictures like this, but it took me many more decades to actually get there. But this is when you were in your prime time and what people call the prime time in life, you know, when you're sort of half through adult tree and you're the most productive, you're also the most valuable for society because you can work the longest hours, right? So this is all kind of that kind of time.  It's all very elegant. And, you know, the thing is back to the very, the slide of you, Rich, I allow myself to say I see the similarity that both have aged and grazed. They're not, you know, any more as they used to be because that was then and now is now.  And actually the wind, you know, that blows through your hair, also blows through the building because it's a building that, as you taught us, told us was not with air conditioning. That was an option, but it was primarily without.  I think that's a marvelous description of what we were at that time. And what you still are, that's maybe as important or maybe, I wouldn't say more important, you know, there's things that were great, but they're not any more, but the things who last, you know, these are the ones who we know they work well. Well, thank you.  That's how it was meant. So I was successful too. So do you think, can we bring that back, that kind of, you know, where America was at its best? What do you think? I mean, we know someone who says, make America great again. I don't know if you want to go do there to him. Well, you can't beat that idea of making America great again. And if it could be done in terms of the architecture of our cities, all the better. And I think that this point, Van Amma Gardens is a picture of just that. It's a picture of doing things well and effectively. Yeah, good point. And, you know, when you say, like, make it great again, means it used to be great and then it wasn't great anymore, which is certainly true to, you know, many things as, you know, objects that many of us say culture, like cars, for example, you know, there were like the crappy 80s and 90s where things were falling apart and not meant to last anymore. But you and this building here is actually an example for that America has stayed to be great. So we actually don't need to make it great again because it was never not great. You know what I mean? I'm not certain that I know what you mean just yet. Well, when they say, and when Trump says make it great again, that means, oh, it has gone bad recently. So we need to make it great again. But I'm saying you and Queen Amma Gardens have never turned bad. So we just continue to have you around you as Richard Lowe and Queen Amma Gardens as the building.  We showed some in the last where the furniture is kind of bulky and kind of clumsy, kind of obnoxious. Maybe we need to sort of rediscover, you know, how you furnished something like that, you know, more delicately. Well, I think we do. I think the doing of the interiors of a building like these three buildings are is very valuable as an asset in making it very special. Yeah. So we have three minutes left. So we want to talk what's next because you inspired the Soto Brown to be back because you poked him with Kevin Lynch at your Civic Center. So he got him going. So he will basically next week is spring break. So it gives us a little break as I understand we can go to the beach and party wild as kids do right over spring break. That's certainly an option. And that time to Soto will work for us as I understand it will sort of be inspired by, you know, your thoughts about, you know, the Civic Center and Kevin Lynch and do kind of a pitch presentation. And then he will actually bring you both back as the started discourse and chit chat about it. So that's basically what's next in the game. And until then, you know, tomorrow we will see you at Thomas ours lecture. I look forward to Thomas and Thomas we're giving us clues about how to sort of keep that tradition of easy breezy buildings in these days and ages, which are anymore what they used to be because everything has changed but keep up these kind of values and and, you know, you do the same we have to go to our to keep us, you know, say we have to see our dermatologist who we share. I mean, we don't share what we go forward to the same Janice dermatologist and she has to check on our Holly skin right and and that's what you have to do. That's what the queen and the the king and the prince have to do right. You constantly have to see and do little touch ups and little patching here and there right.  You meaning the buildings and you great. Well, thank you very much for I've always wanted to be have a building named after me to have it the king and the queen and the prince. That's a superlative. Evaluation. Well, thanks so much for letting your your brain and so to speak and roam around more freely and let's continue that. So let's see you all back in about a week with the sort of brown picking up on your Kevin Lynch poking so to speak and then the week after you guys are going to be together. Well, I'm going to be sneaking back around the world to James Germany for a little while and then we'll be back with Thomas. So we get some business to do there. Hey, so until then stay all healthy and happy of course and stay aging a top and a long agility as you reach. If you liked this show, why don't you give us a like or subscribe to our channel. Thanks so much.


Hello everyone, welcome to Tutor Terrific. Today we are going to prove that famous equation from antiquity, the Pythagorean Theorem. This formula is used in right triangles and it says that the sum of the squares of each leg of the triangle when added together is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. It's true for every right triangle and it comes from Pythagoras in the early days of the Greek Empire. So, to do this proof, we are going to use a very, very interesting figure, which I'm going to draw for you now. Okay, here's that figure right here. If you look at this, the first glance you think it's just a smaller square within a larger square. Well, it's a little more than that. I have actually rotated the inner square in such a way and I've made sure that square is a certain size so that when I rotate it, each of its vertices will touch the sides of the outer larger square. Now what I create when I do that are two sections of each side of the larger square, one smaller one and one larger one. Each of the smaller ones are congruent to each other and each of the larger ones are congruent to each other by doing this. Now to prove that is a separate video, of course, but we are going to assume that and now begin labeling these sections of sides. How is this useful to us? Well, it creates a bunch of right triangles. Now here's how we're going to very sneakily label the sides. The short side of each of these little triangles I'm going to call A. The larger leg of each of these triangles I'm going to call B. As you can see, I've also just finished naming the sides of the larger square. So each side of the larger square is A plus B. Now the inner square, I'm going to say that all of its sides are C as they should be because it's a square. They should all be the same. Now the backbone for this proof is how we compute the area of the larger square. There are two ways to do so. Okay, way one is going to not use the inner square at all. It is going to just use the outer square. Okay, so the outer square sides are each A plus B. So the area of the square will be equal to its side squared, which is where that term comes from, to square something. Okay, let's write out what that is after we foil. As we know from foiling, you can check my other videos as well, when we square a binomial like this, the binomial means two terms. We will have the first term squared plus the product of the two terms doubled plus the second term squared. Okay, this is our formula for the area of the entire figure. Now the other way, it's a little bit more complicated, but it is totally equivalent. So we're going to add the inner square area to the area of each of these identical right triangles. So let's write out this formula for way number two. The area equals the area of the inner square. So that's side squared, C squared, plus the area of these four right triangles. They are all identical because they all have sides A, B and C, and they are right triangles. Now the area of each of them will be one-half base times height. You can think of A as the base and B as the height. Okay, let's simplify this expression. We have C squared equals, what's four times one-half? Two. So we have C squared plus two A, B. Okay, now I said that these were two ways to find the same area, the area of the full square, the big square, so I could set these two expressions equal to each other because they are finding the area of the same large square. So that means A squared plus two A, B plus B squared is equal to C squared plus two A, B. Now we look at this equation and we notice that there's something that appears on both sides. This term two times A times B is on both sides and we can cancel it and look at what's left. None other than A squared plus B squared equals C squared. We are finished with the proof. The very elegant proof, a very nifty and intuitive, well, rather non-intuitive approach with this figure, but it sure does do the trick. Alright guys, that's the proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Thank you so much for watching and this is Falconator signing out.


Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Somebody must have told you that my first job was with a contractor who was remodeling old homes. I was 14 years old. Before the summer was over, I'd laid hardwood floor and shingled roof and dug foundation and all those things. Well, I thank you very much and welcome back to the White House. I always had the word complex. They keep telling me that this is part of the White House, and I haven't had a cup of coffee here. But I guess I should say that it's hard to believe it's been five years since we first met here in Washington. You probably didn't know that I count my years now in blocks of five, so it doesn't seem quite so long to me. It's always good to see you, and I want to give a special hello to your newly elected president, Richard Hall. A lot's happened since that first meeting. Much of it thanks to your loyal and timely support. I remember asking for your support back in 1981 for our economic recovery program. And because you and millions of hardworking Americans stepped forward, Congress followed your lead and we left those shadows of economic disaster behind. We're rolling on an open highway to a new era of full employment with opportunity for all, and nothing should stop us now. With oil prices lower, mortgage rates dropping, inflation becoming a memory, 1986 should be a banner year for all who build America. And that begins with the associated general contractors. Just as in your industry, we've got to make sure our economic foundation remains strong and secure so we can build on our 40 months of expansion for the years to come. Keeping our economy strong and secure means government keeping its priorities straight. Unfortunately, just as Robbins returned in the spring and Swallows come back to Capistrano, some members of Congress are back again singing their same song of tax and tax and spend and spend. Well, it's not up to the people to fork over more and more. It's up to Congress to stop overspending and leave the people's earnings alone. I understand that you will soon be on your way up to the hill where many need to hear that message. But right now, there's another message that I'd like to send Congress on an all important vote on our resolution to provide aid to the Nicaraguan freedom fighters. The House Democratic leadership plans to place that resolution onto an additional spending bill. And if this happens, the bill could be lost for months in a forest of legislative delays. In other words, even if a majority of House members vote for aid to the freedom fighters, we still wouldn't be able to get the aid to them and certainly not in time. And we could depend on the Sandinista to try and destroy them before we got around to it. We've had a good, honest debate on this issue. And in this system of ours, if you don't get a majority, you lose. But if you do get a majority, you're supposed to win. That's the American way. Well, we won this vote in the Senate. So I can only say that if aid to the freedom fighters wins a majority of the House, but still loses if the will of Congress is thwarted by subterfuge and backroom deals, then those responsible will have served only to damage this nation's foreign policy. If the House votes yes, but aid doesn't go through, or if the House amends our bill to block the defensive weapons the freedom fighters need, there is no question that the lives of countless young Nicaraguans will be put in jeopardy. There's no question that the cause of peace and democracy will be set back. And there is no question that the judgment of history will hand down a verdict of shame on us all. But if enough Republicans and Democrats unite, if in a bipartisan way we stand up and insist on what is right, fair and just, then there can be a real victory. Victory for the cause of democracy, for the cause of peace, and for honor in America. And let's make sure that we act worthy of ourselves. Thank you very much. And let's make sure that this government acts worthy of the American people.  I know that I've done a lot of talking about this, and I know that there have been people who have taken me on from my speech on television and indicated that some of the things I said weren't true. The Sandinista government has, as is typical of communist bloc nations, a great disinformation network, highly financed, very effective. And while every criticism of what I said about the Sandinista government was widely heralded throughout the country and the world, very little attention was given to the repudiation of those critics by authorities in Nicaragua who rode to the rescue and said that what I had told them about the Sandinistas was absolutely true. And we have an uphill fight trying to get the people of America to realize that what we're seeing down there is not the overthrow of a legitimate government. The Sandinistas took power at the point of a gun in the revolution to overthrow Samosa, but they were only a part of the revolutionaries. And then, as happens with communist organizations, they managed to get rid of their other revolutionary allies by execution, by jailing, by exiling them out of the country. The contras are made up of many of those other revolutionaries. And all they're asking is a chance for the people of Nicaragua to have what the revolutionaries promised when they were fighting the Samosa National Guard. And that was the chance for the Nicaraguan people by their vote to decide the kind of government they want and who should be in office in their country. And any distortion of that does a great injustice to some people who are risking everything they have to try just for that promise that has never been fulfilled. And as I say, the Sandinista government is not a duly elected chosen government. It's a gang that took over by force. So we think that maybe force on them will cause them, perhaps, to be willing to listen to the will of the people of Nicaragua. So God bless you all. And I thank you. I feel a little guilty asking you for anything else. You've done so many things when we've asked for your help. And you've been most effective. That's why I keep asking you for your help on other things. So God bless you, and thank you all.


things like get a grip or that flew over your head might just literally go over someone's head but not really literally because literally doesn't mean literally anymore literally but it doesn't mean that we can't find a humor in things it just means that there needs to be a lot more explanations and repetition of that sort of language around us in order for us to understand it a lot more because you know we have to we have to work out our heads and we don't just acquire the ability to do it as easy as other kids might my father is a very big advocate of sarcasm and I can tell you that we do understand it and I think sarcasm is one of the most humorous most fun things to do in the human language so it definitely doesn't mean that that we won't develop the ability to do it later on mostly at this stage emotional and social problems don't tend to arise and particularly for kids who are a lot more introverted and involved in their own interests and they don't really have the opportunity yet to interact and get those those sorts of misunderstandings and issues that come with socializing as an autistic about eight till 13 is the the danger point where there is a lot of opportunities for misunderstandings and issues with social communication and personal problems they can all start to arise at this age and they can assist and grow over many years and is between this age of about eight to thirteen obviously depending on on the two kids not all kids develop this some maybe just being extremely introverted and just not bother as much about and other people focus a lot more on themselves and this can be this can be useful but for the kids who are a lot more extroverted and wanted to communicate and be accepted and feel wanted is it can be a lot more difficult of a challenge to overcome not all issues with and socializing can progress into mental health issues and but there is a lot higher correlation between and being autistic and being and comorbid with depression anxiety ADHD so these things are a lot more probable genetically and but also environmentally so there's a lot of implications in the real world that can kind of spot these conditions after or make existing conditions a lot a lot more difficult to deal with self-esteem and understanding of the people can be one of the main issues that nearly every single autistic person has to face and who has any sort of care of interacting with other people also I don't particularly know any aspies or autistics who have not experienced some some kind of bullying and there's also there's a statistic that shows that and autistics are a lot more likely to be bullied and definitely google it have a look at it and it's out there so have a look I'm not gonna I might put it down in the description and if I've got the opportunity to see but there's there is so much higher amount of bullying and autistic people and it it's reasonable to assume that this is because of the the differences and a lot of the oddities that that occur from not having inbuilt behaviors or the body language skills tone of voice skills the not knowing when to stop speaking or let the other person speak all of these things these factors can and be integrated into whether someone can exist with other people without being ridiculed or found to be a little bit weird and when people think especially when kids think someone is a little bit weird or different they tend to capitalize about that capitalize on that a lot more than than others and a lot of autistics sadly have to face the hand of bullying quite a few times in our life because of the issues of understanding and when something becomes bullying and when someone is being nice or overly bad or overly good or strange or weird with us the lines of which we can we would consider bullying to be a thing can be very blurred and subjective to each to each person so and they may think they've been bullied where they may they may have not been bullied them someone made us not like them and have expressed that maybe a few times during their time which is which is obviously quite different to repetitive and you know on the on the go bullying that that may occur to other kids that may not think they're being bullied the lines can be very blurred and it can be very difficult to kind of determine the the reasons behind all of this so autistics on average and particularly those of aspergers tend to have an average above above average intelligence compared to the rest of the population this makes sense because a lot of autistics use more of their logical brain in understanding things like social situations and other behaviors or instincts that don't particularly carry on in our brains for some reason and because of this increased effort in trying to understand things that seem to come naturally to others we spend a lot more time understanding and trying to make sense of things with understanding and using your brain in order to figure stuff out it usually comes with a higher amount of intelligence because of this increased intelligence and this increased ability to analyze and look at the differences between ourselves and others and a lot sooner this can cause a lot of issues for us in terms of being able to relate to other people of our age because of our more analytical brain we may find that adults who generally apply a lot more logic and reasoning behind their actions and a lot more easier to understand and let's let's not be around the bush adults are a lot easier to understand than kids in most cases especially in terms of socializing and getting along with people and not not having too much friction in social conversations we start to notice trends and patterns a lot more readily than the other people around us and because of that we start to understand trends in ourselves as well and a lot of the things that we understand about ourselves starts to get questioned and a lot of things that the lines between dating friendships parents teachers all those kind of social roles and and people in our life can start to feel a lot more difficult to grasp hold of as we start to analyze the differences between them and although our understandings of these things may be a lot more concrete and logical than the ones that are in place already it can cause a lot of conflict between what we think we should do and what we need to do in order to live in society and interact with people properly we've become a lot more reactive emotional and sensitive to other people's actions typically because of the the weight and the the meaning that we we put behind things that other people say or other people do for example one thing that was quite a big thing with me up until about maybe 17 or 18 was that I couldn't stand any kind of lying and any kind of abusive drugs or anything like that any smoking alcohol drugs and I couldn't stand it and anybody that was around me that was was like that and I kind of labeled them as someone that I needed to avoid in order for them to you know keep myself safe and keep myself away from bad habits and although that is a good thing it made me very very rude to certain people and very ununopened to people's opinions and reasons for the things that they do one of the biggest misconceptions with autistic kids is that a lot of people would label autistic kids as maybe not having as much logic or reasoning when it comes to things like social social understanding and situations that are causing conflict people and teachers try to deal with the ideas that that some autistic kids have come up with by approaching them from an emotional and an angle that is very much dependent on behaviors and set standards that the the kid may not may not adhere to as much as as the other people around him because of this it can be very difficult to change the cognitive thought of an autistic person and it can be very difficult to understand and change the mind of that person unless you fully understand how to do it and you fully understand how to get on the same level as them and talk to them logically because the fact is is that their logic and their intelligence is in direct conflict with the social side and the behavioral side of what what is what it is to be human and because of this although it's not incorrect the the blurry lines of emotions and behaviors and are very difficult to express the importance of to a person who lives solely through understanding things logically so naturally as we we form friendships as we start to experiment with relationships and at the age of around 13 14 15 we share our opinions we try to find common ground between people in order to build build bonds and build relationships with people but as an autistic person is extremely it's extremely hard to do this because it runs through two filters one being the the other person who has a lot of behaviors and emotions and body language and facial expressions that aren't read correctly or understood correctly by the autistic person and also the the lack of comprehension that the autistic person has for these factors as well so it's kind of a two-way confusion which and can cause a lot of issues when trying to um establish friendships and etc a lot of kids especially um one that I've I've interacted with and helped personally at one of my my mom's school he believed that a lot of the people around him even his friends and weren't particularly his friends this is quite a common thing and I've I've seen this in a lot of videos of people talking about and what it's like to be autistic and what life is like and specifically when we're younger and a lot of them seem to report that they do have friends but because of the lack of ability to define these boundaries of what is a friend and what friends should do um they can a lot of time even assume that they have a lot more friends than they do or assume that the friends the good friends that they have that they do stuff with and interact with a lot and not real friends and they don't mean as much to them obviously this can cause a lot of psychological issues especially with self-esteem and especially with their confidence in socially interacting with people around and because of that lack of confidence it can cause a lot of social anxiety can cause a lot of other issues depression and specifically if it comes and it it cause a lot of issues for them um in conversation when they're trying to confront people about the the differences we maybe share a bit too much about ourselves or share a little bit too much about our emotions with other people around us this can mean people to think we're a little bit too intimate and a little bit too weird with people that we we don't particularly know very well or maybe our opinions and our thoughts may um conflict them quite a lot and make them very upset or angry it can be it could be a very rude statement and we could not mean it at all but it could be it could be taken that way um for most people we have to admit being a kid and being at school it's a very unlogical and confusing place for everybody but you have to remember what it would be like if you didn't have those social skills that let you interact with people sometimes there is an explanation for actions there's no logical explanation for someone's behavior and in our heads it's very difficult at that age to get around that the idea that not everybody works on such a logical level as as we do and therefore a lot of the the lack of leeway and give that we give for people when we're interacting with them and can result in a lot of conflict and bad emotions and lack of understanding between two people it can also promote a lot of feelings of isolation from not being able to relate to people as well and as well as other people school is basically just one of those video games where for some reason people are naturally talented and they've played other video games before and they they know other controls and they can already move properly and being autistic is like having a lot of skills in computing and never touching a a joy pad or a joystick or anything like that to to move the character and just constantly running into walls and trying to get a handle handle of the movements before they uh try to play me a good main game oh hello there are you waiting for the end of the video well this is it end of the video now why are you here oh you want to see some more videos well make sure to like and subscribe make sure to get that little bell as well the notification bell make sure that you can see some more videos from me and i'll put the uh previous and next videos right at the top left here to get i know such a nice person
