Welcome back to Think Tech. I'm Jay Fiedel. This is Bigotry in America and much more. And we're going to try to understand anti-Semitism in U.S. schools with an old friend of ours, Max Asimov from LA, who is with Stand With Us. You should remember that name, Stand With Us, a very important organization. Welcome to the show, Max. Thanks so much for having me. So just reviewing the history of the last month or so, we're at what day, 39 in the war. And on October 7th, there was a massacre of the worst sort. And we could discuss some of the horrific things that Hamas did, Hamas and also Islamic Jihad did to the Israelis and anyone with them or near them. But what happened after that was we were, I think, all in shock in some ways, because there was not a lot of protesting going on either against the massacre or involving the hostages. And people were just too much in shock. So you didn't see a lot of people out there in the street in an organized protest. But soon thereafter, we started seeing protests, not only in the Middle East, in Arab countries and the like, but in the U.S. And all of a sudden it became clear that there was a very substantial, I mean by hundreds of thousands of people in schools and in cities who sided with the Palestinian movement and Hamas and Hezbollah for that matter. And they were on the streets and they were ripping the posters of the hostages off the telephone poles and it was extraordinary. It was a revelation to find that so many people didn't really care much that the massacre had taken place, didn't care much about the hostages. In fact, they are deniers a lot of them of the fact that hostages were taken. I suppose there was some that denied the massacre took place and instead they're out there in streets supporting the Palestinians and Hamas and Hezbollah. And they're in the schools and we saw this in every major's college campus. We saw letters and we saw criticism of the administration. We saw job offerors with drawing job offers to students who had identified themselves as protesting against the Israelis. So we're in a kind of chaos, Max. You must be following this every day and I wonder if I could take your temperature about what is happening here and what I found when we talked a few days ago is that you're not only covering college campuses and university campuses, you're covering high schools and even grade schools to see what the story is about anti-Semitism and protests on these issues. Can you tell me the state of affairs? Sure. You know, it's a very, very difficult time. For people in the Jewish community and people who care about the Jewish community, you know, the last over a month. I think you mentioned that you didn't see a lot of protests initially. I think people were gathering but people were gathering to mourn. People were gathering to mourn the single deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust happened. I think, you know, gathering to mourn at this point, I can't call it something completely shocking or surprising because if you've been following these issues, I mean, Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of Israel and they express genocidal intentions about murdering Jews in Israel and around the world. This is far from the first time they've massacred innocent people. It's by far the largest single massacre they've ever been able to pull off. And so it's not entirely surprising for all of us to see something like this happen but certainly the scale of it is horrific. And so I think a lot of people gathered to mourn rather than to protest. We did just see, in fact, yesterday nearly 300,000 people, Jews and allies, gather in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. to protest against the massacre and the taking of so many hostages who are men, women, children, the elderly Holocaust survivors, babies, pregnant women who apparently have given birth in captivity in Gaza. So people are protesting to free them. People are protesting really against this massive wave of hate that has taken place as a result of the massacre and all the misinformation and propaganda that we've seen spreading on social media. It's unfortunately in traditional mainstream media and pushed by a lot of extremist organizations and forces that have been getting organized for a moment like this for a very, very long time, for decades, in fact, in some cases. You know, it's disheartening to see but at least for someone like me who has been watching this issue for a long time and working on it, it's not shocking. It's just very disappointing. The other side of the coin here, I think, is that, you know, we've seen a lot of amazing people, amazing people in the Jewish community, outside the Jewish community, step up and take a leadership role and speak out for what's right. And both in terms of making sure that terrorists from like Hamas and Islamic jihad can never commit such atrocities ever again, by the way, not just to innocent Israeli civilians but also all the innocent Palestinian civilians who have suffered under Hamas' rule in Gaza for such a long time and are also suffering immensely from this war that Hamas started that was entirely unnecessary, entirely unnecessary as have, frankly, every single war between Israel and Hamas since 2008, 2009 could have been averted had Hamas just decided to change from a terrorist organization into a legitimate government that would negotiate peace on any reasonable basis which they refuse to do. Yeah, you know, I think a lot of people have actually stepped up and been on the right side of this issue but there is a very, very loud and extremist minority in higher education. Unfortunately, sometimes also as you mentioned in K through 12 schools and in some parts of the media that is, you know, I think they've been louder and more influential than their actual numbers would justify is the reality. I look at the media because I think the media like social media has an effect on people in many ways, maybe it has a greater effect because more people are gonna listen to the conventional media and cable news and the like. And I have noticed that there's this kind of twisted liberal approach where they, including channels that you would watch, commentators and broadcasters that you would ordinarily watch. And, you know, they've been covering the Ukraine war they've been covering politics in Washington and, you know, there was a certain amount of credibility but they, a number of them have lost credibility with me because they always start with Israel's, you know, genocidal intentions against the Palestinians, which is a lie. And that's where the raw meat news is and that's where, you know, I've been very disappointed with some of these cable, I mean, large cable networks. It's interesting too that, and this is really remarkable that Fox News, which I, you know, in the past I have refused to watch even for a moment, Fox News is giving better coverage than MSNBC and CNN and to some extent BBC because of that phenomenon of going for the raw news and, you know, doing the knee jerk attack on Israel. And this, I think exacerbates the problem. And the problem, of course, is what are these kids on these campuses thinking? What are they doing? Why are they out there? Are they informed? What is motivating them to get together by the tens of thousands, write letters and make protests and in fact reject any argument by Israeli or Jewish organizations like Tony before the show about a specific incident of which I am familiar, with which I am familiar where BDS, and I wanna ask you about how BDS is doing these days, BDS refused to let Hillel participate in a college campus conversation about this sort of thing. So it's not like a fair educational experience. It's not like academic freedom at all. It's something else. My question to you is, you know, what's the strange process that leads our students in so many national schools to behave like this? Is this something that came from BDS? Is this a morphing of BDS into something else? Is BDS part of it? Is it a leader in this? How are these kids getting so motivated? Yeah, so first, you know, BDS, the Boycott Divestment Instinctions Movement against Israel. A lot of people, I mean, BDS itself will kind of market itself as a human rights movement and an effort to pressure Israel regarding its policies in the West Bank and Gaza. The reality of the situation is, and you know, you can read statements from the leaders of the BDS movement in other contexts, or you know, even their stated goals. It's not about changing Israeli policy. It's not about Palestinian human rights in general. It's about eliminating Israel, making Israel no longer exist. And in fact, in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas massacre in southern Israel, the BDS movement released an official statement explicitly supporting Hamas, explicitly supporting their quote unquote armed resistance. So I think it's very important to understand what BDS actually stands for because they're often not very honest about it when they're speaking to university audiences or other audiences across the United States. So yes, BDS is part of this picture. I think it's one part of it. The bigger picture here is that, particularly in humanities departments, we're talking about anthropology, sociology, ethnic studies, history, any one of these kind of humanities departments, there's at this point been a fairly longstanding bias against Israel and sometimes also in some ways against the Jewish community. It's not the same in every single university department. I just saw recently a graphic showing basically how many professors from different types of departments had signed letters, either condemning Hamas or one-sided condemnations of Israel. And if you looked at the humanities departments, it was overwhelmingly biased against Israel if you looked at the rest of the departments you see, business, STEM, what have you, then you have a much more, I think, level-headed view of the situation than these one-sided statements. So why is it in these humanities departments that we have this bias? So the big picture reason is a matter of ideology and narrative, right? So there's sort of a broad, I think, intellectual stream of thought that focuses on anti-colonialism that frames basically most, if not all of the world's problems as a result of specifically European colonialism and looks at basically relationships between different groups of people as if you are the stronger party, then you are pretty much automatically the oppressor. And if you're the weaker party, you're automatically the oppressed.   I'm sure that living in Hawaii, you've seen people watching this have seen some of the negative impacts of colonialism in one way or another. So that's a legitimate academic conversation that we should have. The problem is applying these types of concepts to a conflict in the Middle East between Israelis and Palestinians where they actually make no sense. I mean, yes, there's British colonialism in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Other forms of colonialism, like, for example, the Ottoman Empire or even before that, various Arab and Islamic empires that conquered that land. But Jews, I mean, for Jews, Israel is a homeland of the Jewish people. It's been the homeland of the Jewish people for over 3,000 years. Jews who came back to their homeland in the 1800s and 1900s from Europe and later from across the Middle East and other parts of the world, they weren't coming as representatives of some foreign colonial power. They were coming as people who had been oppressed as a minority for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years in those societies. And we're saying, basically, enough is enough. We're not going to be an oppressed minority anymore. We're gonna go back to our homeland and be free once again and have the right to self-determination once again. So basically, these broad concepts, these broad streams of intellectual thought get applied in completely inaccurate ways to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  And so any violence that happens against Palestinian, sorry, against Israeli civilians by terrorist groups like Hamas is justified in the name of decolonization. And this is how basically you get very, very highly educated people to go out onto the streets or onto social media and justify just the brutal slaughter, sexual assault, torture, maiming of innocent people who happen to be of the wrong ethnicity and religion. That's a sliver of it, but that's, I think, a big part of the problem. Do you think that the people who protest in favor of Hamas on these campuses know what happened in the massacre? Do you think they know what's going on with BDS and the way BDS is organized and its mission? And for that matter, the way these terror organizations are organized, then do they know or are they simply ignorant? And it seems all these humanities departments and these schools would be sensitive on a historical basis to all this, but are they teaching this or are they rather teaching hate? It's impossible to generalize. Maybe there are some people who know exactly what happened and still think it's justified. I mean, we saw a clip of a professor from Cornell saying that it was quote, exhilarating to watch the massacre unfold on October 7th. So, and to what extent people like that have saw the actual atrocities and were still willing to celebrate or justify them. I'm sure there are some people in that category. I think there's other people who basically have internalized so much bias against Israelis, in some cases against Jews, that they will just refuse to believe anything that frames basically anything that frames innocent Israeli civilians as being subject to any kind of unjustified attack or in this case, a brutal massacre. I think the other piece of the puzzle here is that, it seems like some folks in these humanities departments and elsewhere, those that they influence the media and on social media find it very difficult to walk and shoot gun at the same time. So, we can all, if we wanna acknowledge reality, we have to recognize, yes, Palestinians and Palestinian political factions and terrorist groups and what have you, they're much weaker in various ways than the people of Israel and the state of Israel is correct, that there is a power differential between the two. And also at the same time, you could have the governments in Gaza and in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority make terrible decisions that are very harmful for both Palestinians, their own people and Israelis and that they should be held accountable for those decisions and for how they use what power they do have. So, it's disappointing and disheartening, but I think those of us who are kind of, in the middle and trying to help in some way need to be able to, like I said, walk and shoot gun at the same time. Everyone in a leadership position and a position of power involved in this conflict should be held accountable for the decisions that they make, whether they're Israeli, whether they're Palestinian, whether they're from the international community and having some kind of influence. And I think this black and white view of the world is a big part of the problem. So, what should a good university do when it sees this happen? What should a good university president do?  What should he say? What should he do? What standards should he adopt or not in order to make this more rational and sound more like academic freedom that takes into account all arguments and all sides. Well, I think number one, just starting from a baseline of recognizing the humanity of Israelis, recognizing the humanity of Palestinians, recognizing the immense suffering that is happening right now without moral equivocations or moral equivalencies that paper over the fact that this was a completely unnecessary war launched with a brutal terrorist massacre by Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza against Israeli civilians. You know, I think that's a starting point. I think also clear condemnations, I'm not aware of specific anti-Semitic incidents that have may have happened at University of Hawaii. I'm aware of many, many incidents that have happened at many other universities and communities across the country.  They have been well before this war happened, but it's even worse right now. There have also been anti-Muslim hate crimes, which are horrific and should be part of the conversation as well. So I think that's kind of the second part of it is clear condemnations of any incidents of hate, whether it's against the Jewish community, against Israeli Americans, against Palestinian, Muslim, and Arab Americans. I think those are all baseline messages that need to be sent. And from there, I think it's really about moral leadership and intellectual leadership and calling on the entire university community to have a more honest, fact-based, and constructive conversation about this issue instead of one that only fuels more divisions and hatred and conflict, which is clearly what we're seeing far too often on university campuses. What about sanctions, Max? I mean, if I find that one of my faculty members, say, in the humanities department, is fomenting hatred, is teaching students how to hate and how to protest in favor of those who would hate. What do I do about that? Do I let him or her continue that effort? What do I throw him out of school? And what happens with seniors who have tenure? What do I do with them? Now it was up to me, I might add, my own digression here is I would throw him out of school because our community should not be trusting the development of young minds to people who would teach hate. That's a bad way to develop an electorate and citizens in our democracy. But I think for me, I'd like to see some sanctions. There haven't really been a lot of sanctions, have there? Well, we have seen that on certain universities, there have been extremist student groups who actually violated campus policies or may have violated the law in some way. We've seen some of those groups actually get suspended, which I think universities have been hesitant to do in the past, but just the level of hateful rhetoric and justifications of violence on top of the violations of various policies or laws, I think has gotten universities to that point where they're willing to take more significant action. In terms of that- Does it work? Does it work suspending them? Does it actually have the desired effect? We'll see. We'll see it just happened. In many of these cases, it literally just happened in the last week or very short time span. So we'll see what effect it has. But in terms of sanctions, so we strongly, my organization and I personally strongly believe in academic freedom and I think the best answer to bad ideas is more good ideas, which in for the public to see that debate play out and make up their own minds, I think the problem is on many university campuses is certainly in some departments more than others, you don't actually have a very meaningful debate or exchange of ideas where the bad ideas can be effectively marginalized and called out for the bad ideas that they are. So I think rather than necessarily jumping to sanctions, which in some cases would be appropriate, but it really, it's very case by case, if someone has actually clearly violated a university policy or law or what have you. In general, I think the more important thing for universities is to start investing resources in actually having a meaningful debate and meaningful pushback against some of the extremism, frankly, that they've let Fester under their watch for decades now. A lot of universities, frankly, are suffering intense reputational damage because not because they just allow all voices to be heard on their campuses, that's fine, that's what they should do, but rather for allowing an echo chamber of extremism and hate to Fester in too many of these departments without meaningful challenges from people with other perspectives. So that's what I think really needs to change. You know, you refer to the nexus between, and maybe it's a very close embedded nexus between these protests. I mean, the anti-Israeli protests and anti-Semitism. And we know that in this country, we have had anti-Semitism historically for a long, long time. And we know that if you look at the history of the last months, we know there have been an awful lot of protests against the Israelis. So how close is that? How close is that nexus? What is the connection between anti-Semitism and it's called anti-Zionism, if you will? Because it seems to me that even if you were able to establish a meaningful dialogue and have academic freedom on open discussion of the rational point, son, all sides of the table, as long as you have anti-Semitism in there, which is not rational, but deeply embedded in our society, you never can solve the problem. Yeah, of course. I think, so to answer your first question, what's the connection? So if you're criticizing the Israeli government regarding an issue of policy, anyone can do that and it's not anti-Semitic. We just were watching before, shortly before this massacre happened, a huge Israeli protest movement in Israel against the current government. And certainly that wasn't based in anti-Semitism. You can criticize the Israeli government without being anti-Semitic. There are specific types of rhetoric and actions related to Israel that do cross that line. So that would be like, if you are denying Israel's right to exist or calling for Israel's destruction, that's a form of anti-Semitism. Similar to that, if you're denying that Jews, saying that Jews, unlike all other people, don't have a right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland, that's a form of anti-Semitism or discrimination against Jews.  So unfortunately, part of the complexity with anti-Semitism is it doesn't stay the same throughout time. It evolves, it changes with whatever the sort of common streams of thought or streams of language are in any given society. And so we constantly have to adapt to how this hatred against Jews evolves from the far left, from the far right, from other types of extremists. And I agree with you, it's impossible to have irrational discussion from someone who has adopted just irrational anti-Semitic hateful ideas. I think the core, there's a few ways to go about dealing with it. Education has to be at the center of it. Our educational institutions have a huge, huge responsibility to, not just in response to anti-Semitic incidents, but rather proactively educate about who are the Jewish people, who are Jewish Americans, what is anti-Semitism, both historically but also today in all of its forms and including the more uncomfortable conversation about what is anti-Semitism related to Israel and how do we together fight against anti-Semitism in all forms of hatred in our society? I think that every educational institution has a role to play in that and if they fulfill those responsibilities we'll be in a much better place. Including the high schools and grade schools, right? Yeah, that's where it has to start. Yeah, well, you know, because you develop these biases, these bigotry very early on. In fact, that's what happens in a lot of Arab countries where they teach very, very young children to hate to choose and they carry that their whole lives. You know what's ironic is that because of the Abraham Accords, which are the peace deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and Morocco and the increasing level of sort of diplomatic relations and other connections between Israelis and people across the Arab world, we've actually seen a curriculum in a number of Arab countries start pretty significantly improving, removing various types of anti-Semitic content, including more positive representations of Jews.  Certainly there were before this massacre took place. At the same time as it seems there are negative developments taking place in the education systems in the United States. So just let that sink in for a minute. We here in some cases are going in the wrong direction and Israel's new, you know, the states that Israel now has diplomatic relations with are headed in the right direction. I think it's, I hope it's, you know, in all of our, for all of our interests and values that we should wanna turn ourselves around as well on this issue. And so many issues actually when you start talking American politics and public policy and public opinion, which leads me to ask you, you know, how has the media been doing in terms of educating people here in this country? And a further question, which is just equally important is, how has the Israeli government been doing in educating people in this country and the world on what has been happening? What did happen? What's been happening? Yeah, so I mean, I think if you've been following the media coverage of this issue to any significant extent you probably remember that there was a really, really terrible moment of many very widely trusted media outlets. The New York Times, others reporting that basically supposedly an Israeli strike had hit a hospital in Gaza and that 500 people were killed in that strike. And then very, very shortly after you had the facts come out that, well, actually it didn't hit the hospital. It hit a parking lot outside the hospital. And in fact, it wasn't an Israeli strike. It was actually a rocket from a terrorist organization in Gaza that fell short. And in fact, it wasn't 500 people killed. The estimates quickly were reduced to maybe 50 or 100. All of it horrific, all of it tragic, but at the same time, the immense, immense, immense damage done around the world by this screaming headline and the photos associated with it, the story. I mean, the New York Times eventually had to backtrack and apologize for that, but the damage was very much done by the time they did that backtracking, right? And I mean, I think it's gotten more people to realize that, well, maybe we shouldn't just take at face value the reports coming out of the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is in fact controlled by Hamas, which is the government of Gaza. Maybe you shouldn't just trust the reports coming from the terrorist organization that just went into Israel and massacred and sexually assaulted civilians and broadcasted it on GoPros and on the social media accounts of some of their victims. And then later proceeded to go on various media outlets and deny the atrocities they had just committed and documented for so many around the world to see. Maybe we shouldn't just trust them. What's happening again? A similar test now with that big hospital in Gaza City where the Israelis have documented a clear evidence that it was being used as they suggested earlier as a Hamas headquarters. And yet, I'm not convinced the press is giving us the story. Yeah, and it's not just the Israeli government, the US government and intelligence community has also come out and confirmed that Hamas terrorists have used this hospital for military purposes, which is a war crime and horrific. So yeah, I mean, I think that some of the, these examples of mainstream media just repeating misinformation fed to them by a horrific genocidal terrorist group. I think it has opened some people's eyes, but also the damage is already done. And there are far too many people around the world who still believe erroneously that Israel was responsible for that strike against the hospital. And it's very disheartening. I can only hope that there will be the appropriate accountability and fallout from this long-term, but frankly, it's not the first time we've seen major errors like this happen. It's just maybe the largest in scale we've seen in a long time. So we need a reckoning. Yeah, we need a reckoning among a number of media organizations that did the same thing. It wasn't only the New York Times, it was the cable news channels and it went as far as the BBC. I have seen BBC reports that were completely erroneous and biased and it's like they were proving a case against Israel when in fact there was no case against Israel, the case was against Hamas. And it's only now, 39 days after is the horrific attack that some of the facts about the massacre are coming out because the Israelis have been reluctant out of a quote of cultural sensibilities to reveal all the things that Hamas did.  And it was like a lot of women were raped and sexually abused and paraded in the streets. And I don't know if this is confirmed by intelligence, but the article suggested that why would they stop raping those same women who are in captivity? They would keep on doing it. So captivity turns into a seven circle for all those people. God knows what they're doing to them. But let me ask you this, and my feeling is that Israel didn't really understand the international global propaganda war at first and then after a while, if you watched the news reports, you began to get a picture of what they were like, what their generals were like, what their citizen soldiers were like, what the families of the hostages were like as people, as human beings. And that somehow along the way countered some of the outrageous propaganda that was coming from Hamas.  And a lot of people, including a lot of Jews in this country have been sidelining those issues for their lives. And to some extent they continue now, although we do see groups, as we saw last weekend of Jewish people, people who support the Jewish state out there demonstrating. But what can I do, aside from think tech here, what can people do to join with you? You say, stand with us. What do we have to do to stand with you, Max? So number one, we're an education organization. We educate people around the world about Israel and fight anti-Semitism around the world. So we encourage everyone to educate yourself about these issues. We have a lot of educational materials on our website, standwithus.com. Also on our social media feed, if you follow us on Instagram or whatever your preferred social media platform is, we're constantly sharing educational information. So number one, educate yourself.  I think for us, all of this really starts with education. If you experience or you hear about some kind of anti-Semitic incident, we have a reporting form on our website again, standwithus.com, where you can report things to us and our legal department or another appropriate department will review the issue and respond in the appropriate way. And beyond that, I think whether you're interested in whether you're Jewish, whether you're not Jewish, I think it's very, very important, especially at a time like this with a war going on and immense, immense amounts of misinformation swirling around, a lot of it meant to really divide and fuel hate. I think it's very important to slow down, to take a minute, to not immediately believe every outrageous headline that you see or every outrageous thing someone tells you, but rather dig deeper into it, figure out what the truth is, what the different sides of the issue are reporting and avoid fainting the flames because the flames are intense right now and we need more firefighters out there spreading the truth and lowering the flames the hatred we're seeing across our society today. That's something to keep in mind at a Thanksgiving dinner where somebody was invited who may be a hate person and goes on about top of the line, top of the news stack issue and begins criticizing Israel and is misinformed and it puts a test to walk and it puts a test to all of us to exactly how to handle that. Do you leave? Do you argue? What do you do? What do you do? Do you get angry? And if you keep talking, will he let you talk or she? How do you handle that? This is a very likely possibility in our world today. Well, I think it's generally important in situations like that to ask questions, right? Someone feels very, very strongly about an issue if you immediately start to argue, to tell them why they're wrong in one way or another, for the vast majority of people, the instinct is going to be to get defensive, not engage with an opposing idea with an open mind but rather to just double down on whatever your original belief or your original idea is. So it's very, very difficult to have a productive conversation in that setting if you're just gonna start arguing. I think it's important to ask people questions. They put a certain statement out there and make a certain accusation. Like what do you mean by that? Get them to define their terms, get them to give you a better sense of what do they actually know about the issue in question? Maybe you know more than them. Maybe you actually have some facts that may surprise them but it's a much more open conversation if you can start asking genuine questions to delve into why someone has come arrived at the beliefs that they have. Well, that's why it's important, as you said, to educate yourself, to be completely ready for that conversation. And I think it's important that everybody be familiar with what's going on and be able to speak on it. Max, thank you so much for speaking to me. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate these discussions with you and I look forward to more if you don't mind. Thank you so much, Max Samaroff. Thanks for having me. Aloha.


The following is a presentation of TFNN Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Now Larry Pezzavento Okay, looking good Billy Ray feeling good Louis. We're going to look at the German Dax As you can see we've had a beautiful guardly there, but it's led to a question brought to us by Jeff over in Philadelphia and the question is when I come down to an ABCD What do I refer to the first the number of 618 or whatever that feminazi number is or do I take point D? Well folks, I've always relied on Albert Einstein he said that numbers proceed geometry something to that effect And so I try to go with the Fibonacci numbers itself You'd like to see them both together The one thing that could help is if you counted the bars between the abe and the cd leg that can sometimes be very very helpful But basically you're coming down to a place where they're going to be very very very close And you know that's the main when I when I first started doing this with John Hill folks Way back in 1970 71 I remember we were setting at his house there in Hendersonville, North Carolina out there at the ranch And we were at breakfast with his lovely wife Making breakfast for us and I was asking him a question and this question and that question and he took out this napkin Okay, and he put the napkin down on the black napkin He put the the napkin down and he said okay now look he put some He put some pepper Oh, it was it was excuse me. It was a white napkin. He put some pepper on the napkin Okay, and then he put pepper on the other side of the napkin and he drew a line between the two things And I he says I said what's this all about? He said well He said one of these is pepper and the other is fly shit How do you tell the difference and he said they were so close It didn't make any differences basically what he was talking about and he was true It probably doesn't make any difference, but always try to go with the number. That's what I try to do It's not always the right way. By the way, pardon me for the The change in my Catholic demeanor here for a second. Let's take a look here at the Well, hold on one second here. Here we go This is the footsie now the footsie is a totally different pattern Now you'll see since the 30th of november We had a beautiful one three five pattern. You see the rising bottoms that we had and Rising tops tell me the market was high You made a big abcd up to the top up there You started to back off just a little bit just like we have here and that's all you've had now All you want to do is to watch how much the back off will be You see each one of these moves has been very very close to being equal So it's just proving the fact that these markets repeat over and over again But they don't do exactly the same thing now folks. I have to admit that I'm under a great deal of stress today and the answer is I've had a Tremendous hold on just one second. I've got to get this up here I've had a very bad physical injury this morning And I will tell you about it in just a second, but I want to bring out the chart that caused it This is the one folks. This is the euro my physical injuries. I'm banging myself on the head And and I mentioned it that we had the perfect abcd up there at the top We bought it perfectly had a little over $1,200 profit in it And I said I prefer to buy the 382 retracement and double the position and get out at break even if it fell and you can see It fell so that's why my injury is my head banging against the desk So that's it. The part of the reason behind it folks is that we were having big profits in the s&p on the downside And also the fact that we had a nice big move in crude oil this morning That was to the tune of about $1,500. So I thought was going to be a hat trick kind of day It certainly it was So that's one thing now. Let's get back to the other one our christmas present that we had yesterday turned out to be a A Grinch This is it. I want to explain to you what I did wrong here This is the we were looking to sell the abcd here in the apple up there at that 170 370 now folks if uh, if i'm correct on this and what I should have done Is not risk more than three cents. Well three cents on $175 stock Is five dollars so the stock should have been at 178 70 And I didn't do that I I moved I I tried to do it for a buck and a half being cute And the market was still strong and it took us out There's nothing wrong with the pattern or anything like that. It's just I put my stop in the wrong place And I uh, I have to you know, I'm going to go through when you can't learn from your mistakes You're not going to learn from anything. It's going to be making a lot of stakes in here No price dates showing on that chart. Uh, I don't think there are any because I blew it up So that they could see let me bring it up again, but uh Yeah, there's prices on there. What are you talking about? Look at the right hand column there Al there's prices there the dates aren't there, but the uh, the profits you can see uh The 127 was 173 70 and the 1.618 is 168 70. So That's it. Okay. Now we're back in business. We're rocking and rolling again All right, let's move back to what the stock market's been doing here Uh, we talked about this pattern here on Tuesday. Here it is thursday. Let's get this up here. This is the dowjo This is the e-mini s and p where we had a 412 high on the 5th of november We came down made a new high up there at 47 40 We came all the way down to 45 40. We went right back up to 47 12 You'll notice that it was the exact same price That we were there that made that a head and shoulders pattern because the distance between The head and the shoulder and the shoulder and the hand are exactly equal The market broke 40 handles yesterday And we were on the air as it was making it slow around 11 o'clock I I saved the chart because of the fact that uh, it was at a really key level And I was mentioning that this was an area where if you made some money on this You want to you know, book in something and look what happened The AI program you don't get to see the bottom at the bottom was exactly at the exact low right around 1115 And we rallied the whole rest of the day went up made a 78 percent retracement And if you really want to you know to learn something go to a 15 minute chart And and and look at the 15 minute chart and you'll be able to see The 135 the declining tops pattern that we like to see and we've got mr z on the line Mr. Z. How are you doing today my friend? Got some uh, excellent for you for that head injury I banged my head on the desk so often it's more like not even a slight bruise anymore. No, I Very good. Hey, I'm sorry. You were just talking a particular market as I'm calling it Why don't you finish the thought on that before I ask my question? Oh, well, all I was saying is that the abcd's on this measure down today to 46 70 the low is 46 67 We're having a little bit of a bounce today So that bounce is going to be extremely important in both the nasdaq is a nasdaq is really crazy folks You can see it goes up and down 200 points like a like an accordion setting size ways So you've got to be really careful with that nasdaq. I stay away from that myself Okay, mr. Z. I'm ready for your question. Okay, sir. I uh wanted to let you know first. Let's see in 45 minutes usd Do I hear music? I'm sorry this music on the street.

We're talking with mr. Z from philly And we're going to be talking about the march corn. Is that correct mr. Z? That's correct larry and 45 minutes the usda comes out with its december Was the crop report So that is in 45 minutes The usda generally does not make any adjustments To the us crop size estimates here in this december report And so that we therefore it's more typically kind of a A less volatile reaction report Uh, that being asked you about this full disclosure. I'm still sitting on From way back october 27th If I'd be back down like till the 27th when I bought them Subsequently rolled out of decent into march, you know the next couple of weeks They used to pop well I've put in the triangle as you can see there with a pendant or triangle Whatever you want to call it a pendant But uh, we're right at the 78 percent level as we closed last night Now we're very overbought Coming in to report now. Would you like to know what the report's going to say ahead of time john? Well, if you've got mr. Beaks sitting I have him clear just a minute sarah. Were you able to get clearance beaks on the line, please from washington Yeah, the the report's still being tabulated. We won't know until 10 minutes after the report. So Can't help you can't help you on this one No, I if I and I I don't have a position in this if I did if I had to flip a coin I would take the short side of the market because uh, I know it's right up against the 78 percent Well, the problem is if you're wrong, they're going to hammer you're really bad And so that's why I would do that if it weren't report. I would be selling it but not not for that reason I I I don't want to take the risk of 20 25 cent loss So, uh, I don't I don't plan to play but my my guess is that we're in strong resistance here And even if the report's bearish, it's probably going to go back up again Look at this strong. Look at the strong accumulation here, john. There's nothing bearish about this corn chart What happens larry? I'm looking at your chart and tiger tv. Thanks for that I see you have the declining trend line off tops And a fifth six one eight level. I think yeah five ninety two is that number. That's right. Well, we are Uh, so what if we get above that what happens next? Well, then it's Well, it'll probably continue higher because uh, you know, you got higher bottoms and higher tops It looks like it wants to go higher You know very good. That's uh, that's why i'm holding on to that long You know, it's uh, I think I've got what uh, 20 25 cent lead in it I that could as you rightly point out that could possibly be given up in the blink of an eye if something funny comes up Oh, sure. Sure, but um, uh, that's uh, I guess that's what I'm gaming for that scenario But I appreciate you sharing that with Cotton beans and wheat. I'm I'm going in flat all of those in you know through the report. So Yeah, if I had to go into anything, I'd be long wheat But uh, that's because it's been beaten up so bad from the from the hype But again, I it's better to wait till tomorrow. It's safer. You know, remember what pastor said Chance favors that prepared mine. So let's be prepared tomorrow or after the report and see where we can get there Hey, uh, just one last question Looked at the daily charts the weekly charts Yes, any was there anything up there 52 is a candidate for a more important top Well, I should but I thought that high was going to be a 249. I didn't think I was going to get to 252 I don't trade coffee, but I watch it because I know several people in the den do but it that was an explosive move I mean it didn't happen It happened so quickly that unless you had an order sitting there It didn't do any good because it was up and down so quickly And so that tells you that there was some strong resistance up in that area But it went way above the 1.618 which I believe was right at 249 50 and gee it went through that like it didn't even exist Did your weekly chart tell you anything about that level? I don't look at it that closely john, but I tell you what I will do when the break comes up here I'm going to get that coffee up so we can take a look at it. We can all learn from something. How's that? Thanks so much. Um, I'm uh in the saddle now for that usda report Appreciate your time lary, and I'm sorry that clearance was not able to help us time But this time he'll be this time next year. Maybe he'll be with us again Well, maybe he's off with uh the former senator of minnesota In the dog house already together, so uh Okay, thanks a lot john Okay, let's move you bet. All right. We'll see what's going on here All right, let's move on here for one other second here We're hopefully have stan harley on at the break coming up here folks In just a little minute in just a minute, but what I will do Is during the break, uh, and I'm not sure we're going to be able to have stan So I will do the coffee But frankly if I if I have to do the coffee now, there's no way that I can let's just get this someone's asking me a question here and Oh stan will be ready shut the front door and raise the rent did he send the charts in now tell me that otherwise I've got to get those up for for those we'll get that without too much trouble Okay, um, I'm not going to be able to get that coffee thing But what we'll do is I've got that written down for tomorrow To look at the coffee and we will get that taken care But I remember it because the beepers went off so quickly And uh, you know, that's it. So we'll be able to he's got everything ready Boy, this is great stan's got all the charts ready to go And the whole bet and we've only got one minute to go to the break So I will I've got a note here to cover the, uh, uh situation in the, uh Stop the front door in the coffee. I'll have that done for tomorrow So we can learn something from it why it did what it did and we'll see how that is actually Working through this part of the part right now So that's what we're watching here right now. I want to I do want to show you something folks We've had a really big break in the old The white metal silver. It's broken down very very badly. I'll get this up here So you can see it here today now gold's holding up relatively nicely, but the silver just does not I have any friends right now. So I'm looking for a friendship In the silver here and believe me. I've got my eyes on I don't know if we're going to go down and take out the 21 35 again But this is not a head and shoulders pattern folks because we're way below the left shoulder We were there okay when it was trading around seven, uh, 23 and change or 22 and change, but Not now we're way below that so that would would have been a failed head and shoulder and look at this This market can't even rally at all for five or six days after coming down.

I believe stan harley Hello, Larry. How are you doing? Hey above ground living the dream as always my friend. How are you doing? Just doing awesome I like that little story about the pepper As interesting It's a true story actually They have your head feeling by the way Oh, I'm used to it. I sort of you know, I should wear a football helmet when I trade Because if every time I bang my head, I should remember but uh, you know, it's a I just was really greedy That that's basically I I was sure that that euro had made the major bottom and if I bought that Yeah, but it didn't work. I didn't lose anything but uh, let some money get away So that's the main thing but it's been a good day. So I have no complaints Anyway, what what are we looking here on your first, uh, s and p 500 cash index? It looks like we're making some type of a Bull run here. Is this the end of it or getting close? Well, this we've got four charts here today. Larry. I thought I'd share with the audience The first one is a yearly chart of the s and p 500 going back to the year 1600 Ah, that was before my time but go right ahead before all of our time. Yes, I'm sure I This is a synthesis from the foundation for the study of cycles synthesizing the dutch market the british market and the american markets So that we have a composite synthesize s and p 500 And it's a log chart And uh, what I've done here is I've marked the major tops and the major bottoms Over the last several hundred years And I have At the bottom of the lows and above the tops. I have added numbers Which are in this data table up in the upper left hand corner that are The multiples of fibonacci numbers and lucas numbers so for example the 1932 bottom plus Fibonacci 89 years equals 2021 And then I've done the same thing for the 1929 top by adding two times the lucas number 47 The bottom in 1842 the number 178, which is two times fib 89 and so on so by adding all those numbers in years For the major tops and bottoms the average equates to the year 2021 For the next potential reversal point Well, that's we've only got two more weeks in that. Hey stan speaking in the foundation for the study of cycles I think we should mind our folks that my good friend and your friend peter leides is going to be on december the 13th on A 12 o'clock eastern, I believe and a few folks you should pay attention to that because uh, I've known peter for well over 50 years and no one Well stan has but peter's older and he's been doing it a lot longer Have you ever seen his torah of his charts of uh, how he carried the dow Jones? He still has those, you know Oh, he has the dow Jones He has the dow Jones from the 30s on a giant like a torah and it it it just rolls out I mean, I think it's got to be worth a fortune But he still uses it, you know, it's just incredible if people could see it I'm gonna have peter take a picture of it and uh show it to the folks here because it's really incredible to see something like that It really is. I know peter. I've known peter for a long time as well uh, he of course was a uh a frequent, uh Desk anchor on channel 22 in los angeles many years ago. Uh, sure you were on there. I was a frequent, uh Guest on the air on that on that station in la as well for many years. So, yeah We've got some great memories of that time period Um for it was it was different. That's for sure Second chart here larry for the viewers. This is an s and p 500 monthly chart The last one was a yearly. This one is a monthly and what I've done here Is I have uh going all the way back to 1960 I have noted each of the major tops since 1960 Starting to the left. We had a top in february of 66 January of 73 and so forth Every single one of these tops every single one barnon Has been separated by a time span between 74 and 94 months The regression modeling calculates a cycle of 83 months just under seven years I call it the seven year cycle close enough and the regression analysis computes the next Ideal turning point in that cycle november 2021 Wow That's when the hot though. Well that that what it's telling us is the next peak of the seven year cycle is due now now Well, uh, the third chart has been bullish for you've been bullish for a long time on this one This is the first time you've really got the uh the cautionary flag out We won't call it a surrender flag But the cautionary flag is certainly out and boy, we're having volatility that is Off the charts. I mean it's even greater than it was and you know the 2008 bubble for sure Larry I am wearing waving the caution cautionary flag The yearly data the monthly data are all suggested of a Significant top in the present time frame. Let's look at the weekly data. Take it down one notch Um, okay. This is the weekly data going back to 1982 And what I've noted here are the major peaks as emanating from a what's called a Price shock the crash low of 1987 So if I go forward in time Approximately 644 weeks, which is two times the lucas number 322 And so on these numbers here in in brackets are double the lucas counts And they line up very nicely with the peak thus far in november of 2021 Everything is suggestive of the present time frame the yearly data The monthly data The weekly data are all suggestive of a high right in the present time frame Um, there is the daily data Of course, we're now just a few percentage points off the november high Um on the daily charts I can make the case for either the high is in the rear view mirror Or it could come within the next a couple of weeks say just ahead of christmas Okay, my message here is we are right in the heart of the envelope What I think could be Certainly a seven year cycle top and very possibly a 94 year cycle top as well Wow, that's a that's a pretty big Pretty big statement coming from you stan because you have been super bullish Since you've been on this show for the last couple of years and uh, even when people were Saying that was the end you'd say far far from it, but this is the first time In recent memory that you've actually and the numbers and the patterns line up with it. That's what's so interesting So it's going to be uh, going to be an interesting few weeks. I think to look at don't you think I do indeed Larry. I do indeed for sure Listen stan, uh, one of the questions that we're having here from someone on the uh On the air here is can you become a member of the financial? Foundation for the study of cycles these days And I think you could probably answer that better than me because I've been sort of grandfathered into that stuff So, uh, do they do they have memberships available? They they they do One only one can can go on the website just type in foundation for the study of cycles and and the search bar it should pop right up and uh By going through several of the menu prompts one can one can certainly join and they have a A very nice cyclical analysis tool that all members can can employ Okay, all right. Listen buddy. Thanks for being on I want to wish you a merry christmas We'll have you on right after the first of the year. Okay pal Thank you so much look forward to it.

I posted the weekly chart of coffee and you can see that's just been in a vertical move to the upside But the second chart that I posted is the daily chart of march coffee going back to october Now you'll notice at the high that we made here three days ago That was a 1.27 expansion of the 382 reach Racement that we had at two dollars and thirty cents a pound Now there was a way from 230 a pound up to 252 a pound that was the exact 1.27 and it took one two three four five six days to do it. Okay now Let's humor each other and go over. I'll take off my my my football helmet go over to the left hand side of the chart Okay, and you'll see on october the second the market made a high at around 207 came down very very sharply to 190 and then rallied for one two three four five six days Exactly to a 1.27 expansion and from there it went from 214 all the way down to 195 So that's the only similarities that similarity is there, but the fact that it made the 1.27 Was probably pretty good. Now. I was looking at it From a weekly basis that it could get up to 264 and it certainly could get there But you're seeing since that time we've gone from 252 We've broken down to a 240 the last correction that we had however Went from 247 down to 230. So it dropped 17 cents a pound. Well 17 cents a pound Coming off a 252 takes you down to 235. Okay, 235 is a 78% retracement of the low that we made back on the 29th. So this is a bull market. You could buy it at 235 not risk more than two cents And uh, it should work, you know, it's just a probability. That's really what it's all about. I uh, That's the best way I can describe it more than more than anything else. I can describe that's for sure Let's move on to uh, a couple others. I covered the silver folks, uh, you know, I don't have a lot of Stuff to you here, you know, some of it works some of it doesn't but that's true of everything I read something really cool today from peter brant. He's been around. We're the same age. We've been around for a long time He's a he's a lot more famous than I am but he has four rules rule number one is uh, Like Warren Buffett, you know, don't take losing trades number two Don't break rule number one and then number three was uh Pay attention to what the market is trying to tell you because you think you might know what's going to happen next But you in fact do not know that I say that all the time here that you know, I don't know where it's going and folks I really truly mean that when I tell you that I really don't know where it's going The one thing I do know is I know how the path to get to that point might be and how much you have to risk to get on that path That I've spent a lot of time learning but to someone that tells you they know what's going to happen next get that Get that pepper and the napkin out and show them the difference between You know the Mouse poop and pepper that's that's really that's really what it's all about folks It's about it's about the amount of risk that you got to land on to get there And you know these patterns are they're very predictable They not only that but they're repeatable all the time so they give you some type of an edge But just perfect example today was the hero. I was totally convinced. Why would I not be totally convinced? I'm sitting there And I'm joking. Well, I'm not joking about it because it bothered me. I had several people say why didn't we take profits up there at that level? And my and my my answer was I'm shooting for something a lot bigger because I thought that the bottom that was there and And this bottom might still be there Except this correction went a lot farther than I thought it was going to do. I have no control over that So I've got to look at I've got to look at the uh euro again And try to enter again where I don't have to risk very much to see if this trend is still going in my favor You know, so that's it. When you ever hear me say 100 percent run away I mean, don't even don't even think about it Just shut the door turn off the machine and run away if you ever say this can't lose Because boy, I've been there done that and that's that's not a way to Operate a business for sure now There's been a market that we've been very bearish on for some time and I always talk about this at the importance of this pattern And I'll bring this up to you right now so you could take a quick look at it Hold it both saying do I ever develop a pov? I don't know what pov means I wish I knew what pov means bow. You have to give it to me in english buddy. I don't know Point of view point of view.  Okay. All right. Let's hold on just a minute here Okay, so Just a minute here Okay, one second here. Okay. Here is the treasury bond market folks. Look at these little red lines You see the these are three eight two retracements folks That's what those are. That's all they are Largest mark largest trading volume market in the world other than treasury notes And uh, the darn thing with it when those things start to work It really gives you a heck of a good move Uh to see if it's going to uh to work or not Now we're also we are really working hard to try to find a really good entry point in long natural gas because What we're doing today is we'll just get this up here This is a an early morning view of what that market was doing in the natural gas But we are very close to the to the breakdown You remember the breakdown occurred on sunday night when we gapped down below 399 we opened at 395 and went all the way down to 366 We're now trading at 384 And I think that that market has got a chance But it's got to do a little bit more work in here folks because it's done a considerable amount of damage By gapping down like that and now taking a whole week to fill the gap I mean that that also is uh interesting There's another one that we really need to pay very very close attention to because it's not acting very well From a technical standpoint and that is our friend from the old chris cryptocurrency Values, which is bitcoin. You'll notice here that the We made a 382 retracement. That was from the one way back on 28 28,000 But the problem is is that we're only we haven't even been able to rally a 382 off of the high yet And that's that in itself is not a very good sign Uh, I'm waiting to see and that that number comes in at around 54 Go 52 right around 52,000 in bitcoin because if we get above that Then it might have some type of a chance to do it But right now it's acting extremely extremely bearish So and and I would love to see a big washout in the cryptos, you know Like it's done several times four times now since they started trading in 2012 Now that's a legitimate part. I guess when bitcoin was a hundred How can you believe it went to 67,000 shut the front door? Anyway This is this is a real deal these cryptos and tokens and stuff don't know what it means All I know the big boys are in there and if the big boys are in there, they wouldn't be there if it weren't real money So, uh, you have to you know, they're not they don't fall for these two little bulb things very often So there's something there and we got to pay attention to it starting in this new year I would be doing it probably looking at one crypto a week and they're they're tradable, you know and stuff But uh, they're going to be interesting to watch it. Hey, I stand corrected, you know, maybe it is A bubble bubble of some strength It would be the greatest of all time It would be bigger than the tulip bulbs and I I don't know if you know this But one tulip bulb that you could have bought for two dollars would have bought a house two years later eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument You have to practice sure, but you also need excellent instruction from experts at tfnn You'll get advice and guidance from the authority and technical market analysis And it's not just dry tedious text either tfnn airs live financial content streamed live on tfnn.com and tfnn's youtube channel with tiger tv Live every market day from 8 30 a.m. To 4 p.m. Eastern for free each host is an experienced trader And gives their take on the market while taking calls and questions live from around the world From the moment the market opens until the closing bell sounds tiger tv has eight different shows with expert hosts to help you Make the right moves with your money watch online at tfnn.com or on tfnn's youtube channel and become the investor You were born to be tfnn educating investors You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market You're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future, right?

You can call<PHONE_NUMBER> That's<PHONE_NUMBER> Okay, we're back folks and mr. JR up in the old northwest has asked a question. Do I ever look at comets and stuff like that with the regard to the market? No, I don't Then they're so rare that uh, you know, I just don't know about I do have a good comet story though Here in Tucson about 25 years ago after I moved here There was a thing called the hail bop comet named after the dude up in scott's Phoenix that from the University of arizona that discovered it and this comet would come out every morning from 2 to 4 in the morning in the night sky and scream across just like it was a Animated cartoon. It was the most spectacular thing and I had these beautiful Zeiss binoculars that I'd got as a gift And they they boy, they were really fantastic. They had night vision and everything so I would go out there And uh set up a little tripod and sit there for a half an hour or sometimes longer just watching it streak across the sky And with its fiery thing and you could see it, you know, so clear in the in the telescope It was or binoculars. I mean I can imagine what telescope was like But one one morning behind I just think I was there three or four times It was the last time I was there by the way I'm looking at this and I see the car pull up behind me On this little ridge when I was looking at not paying too much attention to it And then I hear the loudspeaker come on drop that gun And it was a sheriff thinking I had a gun I'm sitting on the I'm holding it on the top of the car And uh, he said drop that gun and I just raised my hand. I said it's not a gun I won't say what I said, but I said it's a telescope. I'm looking at that comet. This is what comet I said the one that's flying over your head over there and look around. Oh my god. What is that? anyway, that that ended my uh, my uh, my career of looking at comets. I was a little bit a little bit flustered but anyway made it through okay, but uh That's needed here to there. I know I don't do anything with comets post I keep this stuff so simple that I I you know, I just repeat this stuff the same thing every day I I enjoy repeating it. I hope you like the repetition because repetition is the mother of knowledge and the soul of invention Said by mr. Henry Ford. Anyway, tomorrow we're going to have hopefully Alfie Levoix as our guest Doesn't look like a mr Denapoli is going to be able to make it, but hopefully we're going to have Alfie Levoix on And we'll see y'all on flip side tomorrow and may god bless


Eventually, in this process of constantly surrendering, are there possibilities of having subtler forms of ego where you may feel that you are being guided, but it still may be the ego which is somewhere in a very subtle way trying to mold you? Is that, or am I? The more you go into the truth experience, acting from the truth, becoming an instrument of that truth, the more subtle the ego becomes, the more dangerous it becomes, the more it attempts to take you off this path of the truth, you know. So you have to be very, very vigilant. Like you have to be so vigilant that it's like a detective knowing, okay, aha, this is the ahankar, no, no, no, bend, bend, bend, don't go with the ahankar. Sometimes it's a very loud voice and sometimes it's very subtle, but the truth impulse is a material impulse. It is not an idea in the head, the antar guru, the antar atman, it's not an idea. It's not a nebulous energy thing. It's very present. It has a, a materiality to it and it impulses. So the way inward is to bend in that surrender. Observe what are you putting inside your mouth? Observe what are you allowing to escape your lips? What are you putting in? What are you speaking? What words are you uttering even? What are you surrounding yourself with? That's very important in that process. And if you're able to keep an eye on these few things, very soon the magical mystery tour starts and then you're just so amazed by what this thing called living is revealing because you can't even imagine what that is. No exciting football game can compare. No exciting movie can compare. Nothing can compare with that, literally nothing. Nothing that a human being has invented for entertainment can compare with the vibrancy that you experience when you live in that truth state. So when the consciousness expands, suddenly what you thought you understand is not anymore what you understand. It's larger, it's brighter, it's more precise. And life becomes living moment to moment, you know. Not this thing dragging out in boredom, but moment to moment vibrant, real, present, sensing the other, being in surrender. Do you get a feeling for what I'm saying? I understand. I do.
