Hi friends a brother Mike at Sunday morning 9 o'clock mountain time 9 o'clock Arizona time and Thank you so much for tuning in. I love meeting with you on Sundays Real nice Well, I talked a little bit about revival today, but first we'll be my contact information if you have any questions or any suggestions for future shows Contact me on my email Mike at hardcore Christianity com Our ministry line is<PHONE_NUMBER> We have two live services every week at the Arizona Deliverance Center in Phoenix. We're downtown We're on 15th Avenue to south of Osborne Road there. It's the the red brick building and We have two services every week live and they are Preaching teaching healing and deliverance at both services. We do not shut down for holidays or For any other reason actually We always have we have always been open and we don't miss any services We have our services on Thursday and Friday night, so we don't conflict with local churches in the area who usually have services on Sundays or Wednesday nights and We are not a church. We're a healing center And we're not trying to develop or create a church I'm not a pastor. I'm actually a counselor by trade so we are not trying to take any People away from the churches. So if you're a pastor and you need somebody delivered from demons or soul wounds or Needs to go through inner healing Hey, you can refer them to us and we are not going to steal your person and try to steal your tithes or anything like that we We have generous people who care about this type of ministry online and we have several other people who support the ministry and We don't we don't try to take people from other churches Okay, we we try to get people to come to the deliverance Center for healing and Deliverance and then go back to their church and be a blessing to the people there and help lead them through Deliverance and healing. So that's that's our main purpose We're not trying to build a cult or an empire and we we are not Centered around the cult of personality. I'm just the coordinator of the whole ministry. I am not the centerpiece of it So the idea when you're serving God is you want to be a servant not some kind of a Weird strange control freak who's running a TV preacher ministry or some insanity like that I wanted to talk to you a little bit about revival today because it's spreading all over the place Lots of things are happening spiritually in the United States back in 2008 or 7 something like that. I had a strange thought come over me about deliverance and That some day there would be a deliverance revival and that deliverance would be the flavor of the month so to speak and I did a radio program on it. I think I might have done a couple I've been on the radio here locally on 10 10 a.m. Christian radio for Over 20 years. I started a KPX Q radio when I initially started the first two years and This is the exact thing that's happened. There is a major deliverance for a Bible Sweeping across America. You can catch all these deliverance people on YouTube Now there's a Holy Ghost revival starting to break out and it broke out as you know at Asbury College in Kentucky and it spread to Lee University in Tennessee and I Checked it out on YouTube and did some research with it. It appears to be legit it appears to be a legitimate move of the Holy Ghost and I'll tell you why if you If you notice in this revival it's a lot of love and a lot of praise going on at these services and Thirdly It's starting to pick up lots of criticism from religious people from church people from you know People who don't know anything about the moving of the spirit But they do know how to criticize it. I Watch the YouTube video just to give you an example of a Baptist minister This was about six days seven days after the revival broke out at Asbury He he did a short video on why this thing was a was of the devil and he said he could tell it was of the devil because They didn't believe in King James only and Secondly the guys said that The revival had to be of the devil because they had women there Who were giving testimonies and leading in worship and so on so you can't have women women in charge of anything This guy was obviously a Baptist minister and so on and so that that was a big red flag for me that the revival was legitimate because It draws enormous criticism The next thing that's going to happen is on these revivals is that the devil is going to send in infiltrators and Principally, there's going to be two of them Two types that will come in on this revival. All you got to do is keep watching it. You'll see this. This is exactly what's going to happen The things only been going like two weeks now Number one the devil will start sending in people who are loaded with demons and There's going to be deliverance starting up at these revivals people are going to be getting set free from demons but in that process They will start manifesting demons during the service and The devil will use that to criticize The revival and make a mockery out of it and he'll use it to scare people The reason that churches got rid of deliverance 70 or 80 years ago Was because of fear and confusion People look at demons and they go hey, I don't want anything to do with that That's confusing me and it scares me and I Understand if you don't have someone who is experienced in deliverance and understands how it works You're going to be the type of person that's going to be confused or scared about it That's human nature and the devil knows how to how to do it Oh, I overcame a little bit of it at the Arizona Deliverance Center and years ago at the house of healing When God showed me during a prayer session, I was having at Burger King a thought popped into my head to turn down the lights because people were Reluctant to go through deliverance if they had this sense that somebody was staring at them or that they were being watched and When we started putting all our services on YouTube I Realized then that I needed to give the people that were going through deliverance some visual privacy and so instead of Using the person as a as a kind of a carnival act while they were manifesting I did the best I could to kind of hide it from the general public and Hide it at during the services. So people would not feel so insecure or you know wouldn't feel feel as if they were somebody was looking at them and Judging them or thinking negative feelings or thoughts about them and it worked God showed me that worked it We've had enormous fruit In addition to our normal deliverances when I turned down the lights during the altar call So that the YouTube people Couldn't actually see what was going on. Okay. We're not trying to hide anything I was doing it because I was concerned about the emotional welfare of the people coming for help. Okay Let's go to the deliverance revival that's going on now. I've touched on this earlier In a prior podcast Don't get involved in any of these deliverance revivals Or deliverance ministers on YouTube who emphasize Manifestations I Do my best to minimize manifestations. All I care about is Getting the spirit out of the person's body or their brain So that they can be physically healed and be mentally restored. That's all I care about I don't have another interest in the world and if you focus on manifestations The devil is going to use manifestations Against you. He's going to turn it into a dog and pony show Or some kind of a weird state fair carnival and He's going to turn your service into a fun house mirror and it's going to go bad and that's what they're doing on The YouTube deliverance ministers. They're all showing all these spectacular manifestations number two Every deliverance ministry has to be centered around Repentance because repentance brings in The manifestation of the spirit and the love of God repentance is the key to Going through deliverance if the person is not repentant if they have no godly sorrow for their sin The probability of that person Getting free is going to be very low You will get some demons out of them because of the general anointing in the in the service But the controllers Will take a dive inside and they will go dormant they'll hide and They're legally allowed to do that Because you as a minister do not leave that person through through repentance and it normally starts normally starts in the beginning at Unforgiveness At ought ought and unforgiveness giving us are different and most churches do not teach that and that's why they can't get their people set free Being Going through unforgiveness and repenting of it is a state of the mind and a portion of your character in your conscience Odd is the yucky negative crappy feeling You still have for someone in your past They'd either hurt you or somebody that you love or somebody you cared for your kids your spouse. What have you? Odd is that the feeling you have for that person that must be removed and that's part of the Holy Spirit's great work But you must first repent of it You haven't talked to your sister in 20 years. You got to repent of that and Make an attempt to fix that relationship Send them an email apologizing to them or give them a call or something whatever you got to do To get that ought for your sister or your dad or your whoever out of your system and The Holy Spirit will remove it if you if you will repent secondly repentance is essential for a Revival back in the 1700s Jonathan Edwards and the the rest of the crew in the 1800s Finney and all these guy great superstar preachers They preached repentance and the Holy Spirit rushed in and Started and outpouring and outpouring repentance is the key and if you're involved in a megaturk if you Best example, you know Hillsong acts 29 Mars Hills these different gigantic megaturk Dinosaurs sweeping through the country here in Phoenix Maricopa County, for example Hillsong Hillsong is invaded this area. They bought up half a dozen churches and That is not a repentance based system That's a glory based feel-good based singing based praise based system and if you don't have repentance and make that the centerpiece of your Revival or your deliverances the demons will just simply Run through scandals through your system. That's what you've gotten Hillsong lust scandals sex scandals affairs Money scandals all these things are going to happen in your system If you do not make repentance the centerpiece of your system of Restoration to God You cannot soft-soak it during the Super Bowl Jesus gets us What they're doing there is they're they're lowering the standards for God By making Jesus your buddy your friend he gets you This that system is not going to work. It's been tried a million times in the past Trying to make Jesus fan-friendly. They want to make you they want to turn you in a fan of Jesus and the theory behind it is If we get them to first kind of accept Jesus and not feel any condemnation about his teachings Then later on possibly something will trigger in their spirit man and they will become a dedicated sold-out disciple of Christ, okay, and and I must admit The grace of God is so powerful that in a very small percent of cases Less than 1% it happens. It does happen. But generally speaking that system is not going to work That will not work you cannot lower the standards of the gospel and Expect the Holy Ghost to move Let's go to Ashbury College now. This was what two weeks ago. It started something like that a Guy gets up. I don't know where Stands up in the front of the chapel service. They have three chapel services every week there at Ashbury It's a Methodist University the Methodist founded it. Okay And this guy stands up and starts confessing his sins Well, that is essential For a revival either an individual one or a group one or a mass revival That is essential Jesus Paul said if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and part of that cleansing is the removal of spirits that the person collected over the years Living in sin and serving Satan and serving themselves The lust of the fresh the lust of the eyes and the pride of life our door openers For spirits to enter the body causes sickness enter the mind and cause a mental illness That's how this system works in the spirit world and again the key to the revival is What John the Baptist preached? John the Baptist was the greatest preacher that ever lived and his Message to the people of Israel was a repentance-based system In fact, he his baptism was called the baptism of repentance When Jesus One round one with the devil in the wilderness The Bible says he came back in the power of the Spirit and preached Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand Repentance is is the main theme of you experiencing the glorious love of God and The anointing and the giftings and finding your destiny That's how this thing works all right, so Let's flip over to the revival side at Ashbury Again, I mentioned that it appears to be legitimate from my research and I think it's proving legitimate because The Demons are now sending in Ministers to try to hijack the revival under the guise of they want to help the revival and the first group of ministers that's going to come in are the prophetic's the prophetic's are going to rush in Because they see an opportunity for great spiritual manifestations and The prophetic's are going to move in the TV preachers are going to move in There's enormous amount of money to be made to be made off these revivals selling tapes selling Flash drives selling Everything promoting programs promoting services, they're going to get invaded by religious people Secondly, they're going to get severely criticized by other religious people Okay, and that's exactly what happened here in Acts chapter 2 real quickly. It came to pass in the last days Says the Lord I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh now this word here Pour out is the one I like for a revival It's a Greek word a KO and it means Like I would pour liquid out of a pitcher, right? I poured out some milk in a bowl and had a bowl of cereal this morning. I had an KO I poured it out. Well, that's poured out at different levels You can pour a little bit out a little more lot out all of it You can pour all kinds out of it So that means that if you have an altar call where you have a private counseling session and that person gets Delivered from demons and healed with soul wounds. That is an outpouring But it's an outpouring for one person. Okay. Now what they're experiencing in in Ashbury This thing's by the way is going to spread to a lot of other universities and colleges And I think what's happening here behind the scenes the Holy Ghost saw the destruction of our young people in America based on clinical depression based on Drug usage based on tick-tock based on social media based on Facebook All these horrible things that that are stealing the minds of our young people.  I'm gonna I'm gonna fight back and I think that's what he's doing He's reaching out to the young people at these universities where they're being brainwashed with total insanity of agnosticism and atheism atheism, excuse me and The Spirit of God is fighting back and you can tell that the revival is legitimate because it's based on praise and love If you go into these services, you'll actually feel the presence of the Holy Ghost and it's a presence of love It's a presence of conviction of sin Conviction is your best friend even though initially it feels a little uncomfortable But conviction is one of the greatest blessings God ever gave a human being because God is telling the person. Hey, I'm watching you and I care about you and I want you to make a couple of corrections here That's love a parent would do that for their child that they love Your heavenly father is doing it for you.  Yes, I've been convicted numerous times over the years About things I've done and things I've said it felt uncomfortable in the beginning, but if you repent repentance boom Grace and mercy restores you and you can receive the presence of the Holy Ghost It says here the Lord said I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy Your young men they will see visions and your old men. They will dream dreams on my servants and all my handmaids I will pour out my spirit save the Lord and There it is That's what's happening here. It's an a kale of outpouring a pouring of the spirit this in a mass sense Okay, but you must remember what's coming so that you're prepared for it This is what's going to happen with these revivals. They're going to spread Okay, Ashbury got hit with a revival during the Jesus people movement of the 1970s The Holy Ghost hit that college in 1970 and something similar to what's happening now happen then the Jesus people revival spread all over the country in different pockets and A lot of great preachers came out of the Jesus movement back in the 70s Mario Morillo being the being probably the most powerful one and You can see an act an axe it says Peter said to the crowd. He said repent and be converted Why so your sins may be blotted out so the times of refreshing will come from the presence of the Lord So you see the initial move that brings the love of God in is repentance and when that kid stood up at Ashbury He was repenting and he was doing what I call a proxy prayer and he didn't even know it. He was repenting for himself, but Dozens of other students heard him say that and they realized they needed to repent It was an amazing move of God and then suddenly a few minutes later Kale the outpouring came in and It started It started I've been unsuccessfully to this point trying to do the same thing Friday nights at 645. I have a Glosa group a group of people that meets at the deliverance center just before my teaching the teaching starts at seven and And I I have this group singing in tongues and praying in tongues because that blessing of speaking and praying in tongues draws in the presence of the Holy Spirit, okay, and I've been I encourage people all the time to come to that group and grow spiritually while you're using your what I call the Glosa gift and That's what I'm trying to do on Friday nights. I'm trying to trigger I'm trying to trigger The moving of the spirit at the deliverance center Now this Greek word Here's an interesting one the word revival. Okay It's in Romans chapter 14. It's only used twice in the New Testament believe it or not The word revival it's only used twice and it's only in Romans and only by Paul It's the Greek word and an odd zone It means to be revived from the dead To review be revised from the dead. So the preachers took that word revived Turned it into revival and they used it to describe an outpouring of the Holy Spirit It's in Romans 14 verse 9 And and that's basically what it is It a revival is an outpouring of the spirit in a small measure or a larger one or a gigantic one whatever it is and so technically Every service at the deliverance center is a revival so to speak because at the altar call People are getting healed and delivered from demons in real time on YouTube and you can actually Kind of see part of it and hear Part of it going on you can actually see a revival It's actually an outpouring on a much smaller scale than aspery But the aspery revival is going to get hit and hit hard as I told you the prophetic's are coming in The TV preachers will come in The secular news media will come in and the devil does all these things because he's trying to create confusion if he can create confusion Consternation will follow it always does, okay Now let's go back in time then Hundreds of years ago, right the Welsh revival Was unbelievable It was unbelievable outpouring of the spirit, okay, let's not use the word revival I don't like to use it. It was a massive outpouring of the Holy Ghost and his presence You see there's there's a couple of different types of presence, correct? There's omnipresence Which is what the Holy Spirit has he's everywhere All over the place at the same time, okay King David said if I go to the heights of heaven, you are there if I banked my bed in hell You are there what he was just what he was describing there was the omnipresence of God Okay, the omnipresence of God isn't going to do us any good it never has the Manifest presence of God is what you're looking for and that is what triggers an Outpouring of the Holy Spirit Sometimes small sometimes huge It depends on the circumstances of the case and This in this case, it's going to be huge and spread to a number of other educational institutions Academia is going to be getting hit now Holy Ghost style and they're going to have to take it right square in the face and that's why I like it I love it when the Holy Ghost kicks the devil's face. Yeah Nothing better than that love sit there and watch it best thing in the world to watch you wouldn't believe it I have the incredible privilege of seeing it Every week of my life is a great honor and privilege to see the Spirit of God Kick the devil's face and that's my number one hobby in life.  It's all based on the human mind and the human soul An outpouring of the Holy Spirit is spirit man triggered It's spirit man triggered not soul based Not human intellectually based So what happened in the Welsh revival a massive outpouring of the spirit occurred Spreading to numerous other countries America being one of them. They got over to Azusa street and Unbelievable things happened unbelievable things happened. What happened next? Yeah, the demons ran raced in Uh, the people there didn't understand familiar spirits The civilians too are to wreck the revival And they gave uh They gave the minister running that revival Evan Roberts a nervous breakdown and within one year The revival was wiped out within one year It happened again in Azusa street. I mean it was the biggest thing that ever hit America Azusa street Seymour Started the revival down there. He was uh, he was a Loving broken Humble human being the guy was fantastic Bill Seymour he was great What happened then That say exact same thing happens the familiar spirits raced in the Kundalini demons raced in Massive criticism happened They were attacked from every quarter And uh, Bill Seymour was sitting there Up the front by the podium And there was almost nobody there Within a year or so it was all over it was gone What why does that happen?  He doesn't approve of it Your heavenly father doesn't approve of it. The lord jesus died to prevent it This is a war And most churches don't see it like that All these revivals and start-up they don't have the spiritual understanding The knowledge or the experience To ward off these attacks it's going to happen at Ashbury and Lee and all these other universities this thing's going to go Super strong for a while and then the devil is going to infiltrate it He sends in infiltrators to mop it up Lakeland Yep, the thing just took off like crazy Outpouring huge what happened next Yep All Todd Bentley's demons manifested blew the whole thing up Year or so That's what happened Toronto Canada the Toronto blessing. What was that 93 92 93 94 something like that Same thing happened huge outpouring and the people running the revival and Canada good people A Randy Clark fabulous man of god loving man of god The r. No family. Oh, they love the lord. Good pastors. Good people Didn't have any understanding of spiritual warfare. Didn't understand what I just explained to you these kundalini demons are assassins and they're sent in to wipe out the revival And they became infiltrators Into the Toronto blessing and to this day that whole movement is infected with familiar spirits kundalini demons weird manifestations They they gave everything to people to fool everybody and they fooled people left and right. Oh, there's some gold dust Oh, there's some gems over there. Oh my goodness. Oh now it's glory clouds. Oh, there's a glory cloud in the room Oh boy These are kundalini spirits faking everybody out. It's absolutely horrible.  He panics Because he knows the holy ghost can do Nothing's out of his range Nothing's too hard for it. The only person demons truly fear Is the spirit of the lord? They're they're actually afraid of him. They're scared of him Jesus had the full anointing of the spirit without measure. Nobody's ever had it before or since When jesus confronted a spirit in the new testament, they started screaming It happened in mark chapter one some guy sitting on the front row listening to the teaching and then bang This demon couldn't take it anymore and he started screaming He started to have an epileptic seizure. I mean this thing pitched a fit Why they're scared They're scared The maniac of gattera mark five the two maniacs of gergacinas matthew eight Man they were scared The demons were scared They were trying to negotiate a deal with jesus. Hey, no, you know Don't send us to the abyss or the abyss send us over these stinking pigs over here Demons fear the moving of the spirit They don't fear anybody else. They don't fear you they don't fear me nothing They are petrified When the manifest presence of the holy ghost shows up not the omnipresence Everyone has that That's not going to do you any good the manifest presence of the holy spirit Brings in all the miracles of the living christ That's how it works And repentance brings in the moving of the spirit the love of god and the power of the holy ghost That is the first thing it has to be done And if you're going to get involved with the deliverance revival Or you're going to get involved with this new holy ghost revival That's great. I hope you do but you've got to remember that the word of god puts parameters on these things And if it's not a confession of sin and a repentance revival or deliverance revival You better red flag it because kundalini spirits are going to get in The devil's going to send in infiltrators And they're going to wipe the revival out Welsh revival wiped out zuzestri wiped out lakeland wiped out Pensacola Pensacola was better than Toronto blessing by far, okay That revival was much more directed toward repentance and people Getting converted so their sins could be blotted out So the times of refreshing should come from the presence of the lord that revival lasted What was it five years six years something like that and the reason for that is The toronto revival Was not a repentance based system it was a holy ghost manifestations feel good hallelujah glory zone revival Okay, it wasn't a repentance based revival the Pensacola one There were infiltrators in it. There was kundalini in it but nothing to the level of the toronto experience Pensacola was far superior revival to the toronto one They had a hardcore preacher there named steve hill. He was a repentance oriented evangelist and that's why that one lasted so long That's why it went so well And so all these revivals throughout history The devil treats them all the same he sends in infiltrators imposters impersonators critics condemners Criticizers and that's exactly what's going to happen happen to this revival If they can keep the prophetic ministers out and keep out these tv preachers out of these Outpouring settings like ashbury or lee or the other ones that's spreading to now If they can do that the revival will last longer But if the infiltrators come in The kundalini spirit ministers come in And if they listen to all their critics The baptists the lutherans all these people criticizing the revival If they listen to that this thing's going to you know have a short shelf life Okay, but the same system of the revival Of an outpouring can be done in your life Anytime you choose It's it's your choice That kid at ashbury stood up and made that confession and he repented in front of all those people Because he had free will and he was desperate for god And if you look through the new testament these out individual outpourings Were all triggered by desperation for god The woman with the issue of blood line bar to mayors the two blind men The dying leper They were all desperate to get to god Okay, that's uh polar opposite of a church service Okay, there's no there's no desperation to get the god at a church service That's just a routine thing where you go in and have a bible study and get a good word Sing a few songs.  That's just simply a religious maintenance system that does not work And so you can have an outpouring As big as you decide it could be You can make it and you can do it And god's calling you to do it But it's all based on your free will god always moves based on people's free will And so right now as i'm speaking to you there are people flying into Kentucky to go to go see this thing because What people really want in life and they don't even know it but deep down inside in their spirit man Built in at the time of their conception and at their birth There's an urge a need in in people to find god They know he exists somehow they know he's there somehow And deep inside they're built like that I Want to be with my heavenly father. That's the way all human beings are they're born with it. It's innate In your spirit man right in here in your spirit man Okay, and and and once the holy ghost breaks out somewhere People people will fly in from everywhere to Get to him Because the holy spirit as you know Brings all the blessings of the living christ. He has and he is the only person that has 100 percent Of the power of the blood of christ 100 percent of the healing power Of the broken body of christ the holy spirit is The administrator of the estate of the lord jesus christ That was given to him by god the father Jesus said everything that father has Is mine That's a lot right Right the web the web telescope now Is unbelievable, isn't it there are galaxies everywhere in the universe Everything father has jesus said is mine And john 14 15 60 he explained I'm going to administer my estate through the executor of my estate The holy ghost and so when people see an outpouring or a revival somewhere They will travel And go anywhere anyhow at any expense Just to get to him Once he shows up It's a game on And the devil is going to get Another face kicking And there's nothing he can do about it So what does he do he's the devil's a counterpuncher and he's very good at it I boxed myself when I was young off and on for 10 years I was an amateur boxer. I started when I was a welterweight in eighth grade and I retired After a fight in kansas city in 1980 But my favorite fighter my idol when I was young was a guy named jerry quarry He was a fighter from bellflower california And I kind of grew up in anaheim. So I really liked him. He had a brother named mike quarry and uh Jerry quarry was a spectacular fighter But he was a counterpuncher And he would literally Wait for you To fire a shot and he was already planning a counterpunch After you let go he was a counterpuncher He was the best in the business at it And that's exactly what the devil is. He can't stop an outpouring He can't stop you from repenting. He can't stop you from confess confessing your sins. He can't stop that You got free will And you could use it whenever you decide to use it.  He sends in sobrosa surveillance teams He sends in kundalini spirits to impersonate The moving of the holy ghost kundalini spirits are holy spirit fakers And they impersonate the moving of the of the spirit of god They watch what he does and then they try to imitate it right I've been in several kundalini services over the years watching and taking notes and Watching how these demons work. It's really quite remarkable. They're very intelligent very aggressive And uh, you'll sit in a kundalini service and you'll see somebody Rocking back and forth in the pew or their chair. Oh, they're going like this. They can't stop And they're making noises.  I mean from one end of the church to the other People were lined up on the floor And my friend who I'd known for years I knew that she was a beautiful woman of god very strong person powerful faith She was on the floor Snorting like a pig My eyeballs popped out She was snorting like a pig. I saw her and heard her Well, those are kundalini spirits. She didn't know she had them. They're familiar spirits They're mind trickers.  They give you euphoria. They give you A sense of wow, this feels good. This must be the holy spirit if it's good. It has to be the holy spirit They're imitators. They're fakers. It's going to happen at ashbury. It's going to happen at lee universe. It's going to happen watch this thing go And people who don't learn from the history They're doomed to what? Yeah, they're going to repeat it They're going to repeat it and and You know, I think just yesterday a bunch of A bunch of news media wanted to go in Do a reporting on it and the people at the revival said, uh, god love them. They said, hey, don't come here Uh, but let the devil will keep sending in You'll get prophetic coming in. Okay. They'll want to come in and You know Help the revival and what they're actually doing is spreading familiar spirits So that the revival is destroyed Allah The Welsh revival Azusa street Lakeland They all eventually kaboom because of these sobrosa instigators and infiltrators so I recommend you keep praying for them. But more importantly, I recommend That you have your own outpouring and then you spread it to Dozens of other people See Because you're in charge, right? Remember that cartoon charles in charge. Yeah. No, you're in charge See god will honor your free will your prayers and your love and he will send you an outpouring And you will then spread it to others Yeah, and you start your own ashberry revival. How about that? How about that? How about doing that? Why not? What's stopping you Well, your own free will stopping you yeah Every every friday night at 645 I'm so grateful for the people that come to sing and sing in tongues at the deliverance center But i'm still praying. Hey, that's not enough. I I need 10 more and then i'm going to need 10 more and And at some point the manifest presence precipine Of the spirit will drop And then you're off and running To a period of time in your life that you will never forget Nobody who ever attended any of the revivals In the beginning when the spirit of god was poured out Ever forgot it They never it's a life changing life remembering Revival okay, and I what was that 2006? I think it was No, uh 2000 and uh, no strike that it was a 1997 I believe I went to the Pensacola revival myself to check it out And I remember every day I was there. I remember everything. It was you know, it's quite remarkable Yeah, there was some strange manifestations going on But at that time I had not been delivered from demons. I didn't really know what was going on So I didn't have any very good discernment back then. I didn't understand how the spirit world works Back then like I do now But the revival was really spectacular. I saw the holy ghost moving It was it was amazing And that's the only thing I've I've ever really been interested in god's word and the moving of the spirit those two things Those are my favorite things And I like that How about you? Yeah You want a word today? Okay God wants to send you an outpouring on a personal basis. How do I know this? I have seen it In my own ministry numerous times Okay I set the ministry up To operate in a certain way what I do is I downplay myself and I promote and boost up others So I have over the years seen several people go into the ministry On their own and develop their own ministries And I have stepped back and had nothing to do with any of it. I just Promoted them and encouraged them to do that. I have had four or five people come through deliverance In the in our ministry who have written books on deliverance They have become evangelists And that's the purpose of it. Okay, you don't want to try to control people You don't want to constantly run the show you want to boost people up help them Get their own ministry going Their own anointing their own giftings That's what that's your goal That's your goal And the people that I have put on the ministry staff That have been trained over the years They now do deliverance in all kinds of different settings at their house at work What have you not just at the arizona deliverance center And then that's the purpose of the gospel you want A outpouring to strike and then you want it to spread That's your goal And I'll be in chula vista on march 11th chula vista california if you live in the san diego area I hope you join me. There's going to be An outpouring so to speak a revival in that service You're going to see people getting delivered from demons in that service like you wouldn't believe I mean dozens Of people are going to get delivered from demons at night. It's going to be amazing several people are going to be healed You can watch it actually happen Well, what's what's the point there? You lay out the red carpet for the holy ghost you Focus on confession and repentance and Just like peter said Just like he said it works exactly like he said Repent and be converted That your sins may be blotted out So the times of refreshing Shall come from the presence of the lord And he will send you Jesus How about that? Pretty good, huh? Yeah, it works. I'll see you next time


Today, I'm going to show you how to create new tabs within a specific channel. Tabs can be found at the top of the channel and your team's application. By default, every channel comes with a few standard tabs, including Conversations, Files, and Wiki. Click on the Wiki tab, which is designed to help users draft documents, track meeting notes, and collaborate, or in simple terms, it acts as a shared bear pad. The Files tab helps you keep track of all the files that have been uploaded to that specific channel. Now, if you want to add a new tab, click on the plus symbol, which will allow you to choose from an array of tabs to add to your channel. For example, to add a Word tab, click the Word application. Next, you will title the tab name and select the Word document that you have uploaded to Teams and hit Save. It is important to note that you must upload a document to the Files tab for any tab that requires a document, such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. You now have added a tab. To chat, comment, or give feedback on a document within a tab, click on the speech bubble in the top right of your page so you can write about a specific document. All conversations across different tabs and documents within the channel can also be viewed on the Conversation tab. I'm Max with the Protected Trust Training Department and we'll see you next time.


Welcome to George H. Smith's Excursions into Libertarian Thought, a production of Libertarianism.org and the Cato Institute, narrated by Daniel Highland. State and Society, Part 2 In Theories of the State, 1987, Andrew Vincent refers to the classical liberal distinction between the political and social spheres, or the public and the private. Similarly, in Locke, Rousseau and the Idea of Consent, 1978, Jules Steinberg writes, The liberal idea of society, in contrast to the state, involves the notion of a realm of voluntary interaction where individuals may incur moral obligations and commitments to one another based upon genuine relationships of individual consent. The state, being distinct from society, is not defined as the realm of consent, but instead is considered to be a sphere of compulsion and coercion necessary to the ordered functioning of a society based upon free and voluntary individual relationships. In Part 1, I distinguished between this meaning of society, the sphere of voluntary interaction, and its broader meaning. To avoid confusion, it should be noted that this idea of society differs from its more general meaning, which includes all kinds of sustained interaction, whether voluntary or coercive. This inclusive meaning of society refers to the overall pattern of social order and to all institutions within that order. Government, from this comprehensive perspective, is one social institution among many. This is the general sense in which I shall use society and social throughout this essay. Only later will I return to the more specialized meaning commonly used by classical liberals and libertarians who have frequently differentiated between society and state. If some readers are annoyed by my switch, I can only plead the perils of common usage, which is often ambiguous. As John Locke pointed out centuries ago, philosophy normally uses the ordinary language of civil discourse, and such language frequently fails to meet the standards of precision required by philosophy. There is no satisfactory solution to this problem except to specify what we mean by a word in a particular context. Thus, in the context of the present essay, by society or social, I mean all forms of human interaction and institutions, both voluntary and coercive. Social interaction, according to Georg Simmel, denotes a reciprocity of effects. My actions must influence your actions, and vice versa, before we can be said to constitute a society. Max Weber, Economy and Society, English translation 1978, elaborated on this theme as follows. Sociology, in the sense in which this highly ambiguous word is used here, is a science concerning itself with the interpretive understanding of social action, and thereby with a causal explanation of its course and consequences. We shall speak of action insofar as the acting individual attaches a subjective meaning to his behavior, be it overt or covert, omission or acquiescence. Action is social insofar as its subjective meaning takes account of the behavior of others and is thereby oriented in its course. This general approach, which attempts to explain the social world from the subjective viewpoint of the participants, is known as the interpretive school of sociology. In addition to Simmel and Weber, prominent representatives of the interpretive school include Wilhelm Dilthe, Edmund Husserl, Alfred Schutz and, two names familiar to modern libertarians, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. The basic problem for sociology is not deciding what to do with social phenomena after we find them, but in finding those phenomena in the first place. If Galileo failed to convince some theologians because they refused to look through his telescope, at least the moons of Jupiter existed as physical objects in the first place, there to be seen by other observers. But this is not true of social phenomena, such as society and state. These are institutions, mental constructs, not physical things. We do not see institutions with the eyes, we comprehend them with the mind. As Hayek put it in his important book, The Counter-Revolution of Science, 1952, society as we know it is, as it were, built up from the concepts and ideas held by the people, and social phenomena can be recognized by us and have meaning to us only as they are reflected in the minds of men. Essential to our notion of a society is the concept of an institution. A society consists of more than an unconnected aggregate of individuals. A society requires at least one institution. In the broadest sense, an institution is a routine pattern of social interaction, a social habit, so to speak, that has meaning for the participants. For example, if two strangers customarily shake hands upon first meeting, then we may refer to the institution of handshaking. If Crusoe and Friday inhabit the same island but never come into contact, then they do not constitute a society. Nor is it enough if they occasionally exchange glances, random interaction is not sufficient. Only if Crusoe and Friday interact frequently enough to create routine patterns may we properly speak of them as constituting a society. A society, to repeat, presupposes at least one institution. To quote Arnold Toinby, Without institutions, societies could not exist. Indeed, societies themselves are simply institutions of the highest order, institutions that is, which comprehend without being comprehended by others. The study of societies and the study of institutional relations are one and the same thing. This notion of society puts to rest many of the misleading objections to methodological individualism, according to which all social phenomena can ultimately be explained in terms of the actions and interactions of individual human beings. Methodological individualism does not mean that only the individual human being is real or that social phenomena do not exist. It says only that the individual is able to think, feel, and act. We can impute thoughts, purposes, and values only to the singular human being. When we apply such terms to society, we enter the domain of metaphor. However, this does not mean that society is not real or cannot be said to exist in some fashion. Many things exist that cannot think, act, or feel. A society, as I said, is more than an aggregate of individuals. A society of ten people is more than a mere group of ten people. A society consists of those people and their institutional relationships. If by a society of ten, we mean those ten plus their patterned interactions, then the society of ten may be said to exist not apart from the ten who comprise it, but in addition to those ten separately considered. Institutions are not only the result of association to use Georg Simmel's term for the process of social interaction. They also make possible additional and more complex types of association. Institutions generate reasonable expectations about the behavior of others, especially those strangers about whom we have no personal knowledge. If I extend a hand to a stranger, and he reciprocates by shaking my hand, this conventional behavior will have meaning for both of us, insofar as it indicates goodwill. I am more likely to enter into a bisociation with that person than I am with a stranger who curtly refuses to shake my hand. True, a stranger who eagerly shakes my hand may be attempting to deceive me. He may wish to draw me into a coercive relationship. Nevertheless, social conventions, a type of institution, typically serve the purpose of facilitating voluntary relationships among the members of a society. Our expectations often become more certain when we deal with a designed institution, an organization, such as a bank or other business firm. When I go to an established bank to deposit money into a checking account, I anticipate, with a high degree of probability, that my money will be available to withdraw when I want it. Of course, my expectation may not be fulfilled if the bank is insolvent or engages in fraud, but any uncertainty here is not owing to the fact that the bank personnel are strangers to me. My confidence resides in the institution, especially if it has a good reputation, not in the strangers who work for that institution. I don't need to know the personal details of each bank teller I deal with. All I need to know is their role in that institution, a role that is anonymous from my perspective since it could be filled by virtually anyone. This is certainly a far cry from asking a random stranger to hold my money and return it when I ask. Here the personal characteristics of the stranger, who is not affiliated with an institution, would be extremely important, but since he is by definition a stranger, I do not know the relevant characteristics and therefore have no reasonable basis to predict how he will act in the future. For a detailed discussion of the nature and function of institutions, I highly recommend Peter Elberger and Thomas Lukman, the Social Construction of Reality, a treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge, 1966. Earlier I mentioned designed institutions, such as banks and other organizations, more important for the social sciences, especially economics, are undesigned institutions or spontaneous orders as they are often called. These undesigned institutions were extensively discussed by luminaries of the Scottish Enlightenment, most notably by Adam Smith, who used the metaphor of an invisible hand to explain the gradual evolution of money and other economic institutions. In 1763 another Scott, Adam Ferguson, said that such institutions are the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design. If Adam Smith may be called the premier theorist of spontaneous order during the 18th century, the 19th century holder of that title would be Herbert Spencer and for the 20th century F. A. Hayek. The key question regarding spontaneous institutions was posed by Carl Manger, founder of the Austrian School of Economics. How can it be that institutions which serve the common welfare and are extremely significant for its development come into being without a common will directed toward establishing them? Indeed, if all institutions were deliberately designed, there would be little for sociology and economics to explain. This is why Manger called spontaneous orders the most noteworthy problem of the social sciences. As Carl Popper put it, an action which proceeds precisely according to intention does not create a problem for social science. Similarly, Hayek wrote, the problems which the social sciences try to answer arise only insofar as the conscious actions of many men produce undesigned results. Insofar as regularities are observed which are not the result of anybody's design. If social phenomena showed no order except insofar as they were consciously designed, there would indeed be no room for theoretical sciences of society and there would be, as is often argued, only problems of psychology. Insofar as some sort of order arises as a result of individual action but without being designed by any individual that a problem is raised which demands a theoretical explanation. As we shall see in subsequent essays, the distinction between designed and undesigned institutions is crucial if we are to understand some significant differences between voluntary and coercive institutions. Although a free society will contain many designed institutions, such as business firms, the overall social order resulting from voluntary interaction will be spontaneous. In contrast, a planned society dominated by the coercive institutions of a state will stifle spontaneous developments and thereby retard innovations, creativity, and social progress.

Good afternoon, I'm J. Fidel. This is Think Tech. This is transitional justice. Today, we're going to talk about Ubuntu with Ara Haleil. She joins us from Vienna. Hi, Ara. Hello, good afternoon. Thank you for the opportunity to be here with you. Thank you for being here. So tell us a little about yourself. You're with Project Expedite Justice, but what's your schooling? What's your orientation? What have you done? And what are you doing now? Yes, I am Palestinian from Nazareth. I am in Vienna for my studies. And I am working on Project Expedite Justice on Ethiopian projects. And that's what I'm doing now. We work with people in Africa and so on. So why are you in Vienna? Well, I'm in Vienna. I'm doing my PhD in Indigenous Arts, so Indigenous League of Studies. So I'm in Vienna for this reason. Yeah. Is it true that the best cold white wine in the world is in Vienna? It is good if they have nice white wines. But I understand it's white wine. It's also a lot of good music in Vienna, am I right? It depends on your taste again. It's like they are good in their classical music. You have Beethoven living here, Mozart being here. So in regard to classical music, it's one of the best places. And these are one of the two big names, the big names. But it depends on your taste. So I don't like pop Austrian music. It's not a big thing, I think. So we're going to talk today about Ubuntu, which just requires a little definition. It's a philosophy. It's a way of looking at things in Africa, mostly Southern Africa. And I want to know how that connects with your PhD in Vienna. As I said before, my PhD is Indigenous Arts, but Ubuntu is more a matter of having interest in it. I am a research independent Indigenous people. But I like Indigenous wisdom and Indigenous philosophy. It's something of an interest of mine. And I was always, many people, fascinated and interested on the South African struggle against apartheid. And the people related to it. And one of these people is Desmond Tutu. And with him passing away on December 26, it was a chance to look again about this person's legacy. And the way he influenced South Africa, he was an archbishop. And he was the chair of the truce and speaking of transition of just today, the chair appointed by Mandela to be the chair of the truce and reconciliation commission. And he was brilliant to bring this Ubuntu and use it in this commission. And as an archbishop, he gave it also a Christian interpretation. And you see how Indigenous philosophy and moral perspective, like Ubuntu, was interpreted from Christian perspective. And Christianity was also interpreted through Ubuntu. So there is interconnection here. And what he says with Ubuntu, Ubuntu means that you are because of who we are. And there is this interconnectedness.  And you are a subhuman if you are not connected to the community affected by it and who you are because of your interaction with the community. So he took this moral perspective, this way of thinking, and brought it to the commission and said that your humanity is related also to the perpetrator's humanity. And when you come to the commission and forgive this perpetrator, you actually give him the chance and open for him the way to regret and to be back again and being part of society. So we see how this Ubuntu philosophy was complementing actually Christianity and shared some kind of values. So he was brilliant enough to bring this local indigenous wisdom beliefs when thinking. And in this way, he also was able to touch a deeper place with the people involved and so on. So Ubuntu eventually means we are who I am because of who we are. And this interconnectedness is supposed to drive people to a more human wholeness and to another way of humanity that we aim to all of us. So this is Ubuntu. Yes, OK, that's helpful to start. But it sounds like Ubuntu is an indigenous philosophy in Africa, particularly southern Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and especially South Africa, that it wasn't originally connected with Christianity. Maybe the bishop did his part to connect it with Christianity. And it is forgiving. It is kind and gentle. It is perfect for a truth and reconciliation panel. It was the perfect addition, the perfect model for the truth and reconciliation panel to follow. What I don't understand is exactly how Christianity gets in there because you could have Ubuntu without Christianity at all. It's an African philosophical phenomenon, isn't it? Yes, you can say one thing in many ways. And it can be said that when you talk about interconnectedness and a humanity and the interrelation like you're being affected and becoming who you are as a result of interaction with other people, it can be said through this African philosophy. It can be said also in other ways in other cultures. But eventually, it's the same essence. Desmond Tutu was, he said it. And when an archbishop comes and look at it and give it this Christian package too, so in this way it became related to Christianity too. And it can be said alone through indigenous philosophy, but it can also be said through African card of Christianity that Desmond Tutu passed and represented and actually was able to touch the feelings of the Christian people in the commission, in addition to the feeling of the African people in the commission. And this way also when you talk to the people from their way of seeing things, from what they feel, from their values, you are also able to facilitate and move these people and do this change that happened through this transition of justice in the commission. So he was a bishop. He was a what, Catholic bishop in South Africa. Is there a large contingent of Catholic South Africans? Is that a substantial part of the population? In South Africa, yes, there is. But we ask, people are, he was asked actually, they thought about it in the commission.  And he's a very dominant person in South Africa and so on. And they asked themselves whether they want to give the commission this Christian way or Christian settings or package. And he said, this is what the people want. So it is also very related to what the people want and their way of seeing things and so on. So it is also interrelations between two things. You cannot separate the culture in one area and the indigenous culture, indigenous wisdom and the values, cultural values. And also the religion, when it comes to specific culture, it is interpreted through this culture also. So you have some kind of common interrelation affecting the way people think and feel and so on. So I know that the principles are harmony, peace, kindness, all those very positive values. But it's something like, as you said, I am me, but I am also part of a greater community. I am defined by my connectedness to the greater community. And I cannot be a good me without being connected to the greater community. This all speaks of peace and tranquility, of respect for your fellow person, a fellow human being. It speaks of the highest moral order. And yet, we don't find that all over Africa. We find in central Africa, we find coups. We find military hunters. We find genocides. I'm sure you're fully aware of the violations of human rights and atrocities and war crimes. How do you connect up Ubuntu with that? Well, we always have our moral standards and we try to get to there to achieve it. And reality can be much more complicated and driven by different interests and so on. So eventually, this is what this moral perspective aim to. But it's not necessarily that we are able to get there. But with leaders like Desmond Tutu and his ability to read what might be used and affect like this, how you can lead a society out of its trauma and to go on and live together after the apartheid regime and atrocities, he was able to do this. So we don't always have, and this is his brilliance too. So we don't always have leaders who are able to read what's going on in the society to understand it, to understand what the people need, what the people want and to make them focus on the good thing out of them and how they can take it. So this is my answer as far as I can answer your question. I know that's hard. It wasn't an easy question for sure. And now Bishop Tutu, he was advocating for Ubuntu in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that he was member of. And I just wonder if that was successful. It wasn't successful either on the commission in terms of finding forgiveness, right, because Ubuntu really speaks of forgiveness on a personal level and on a community level too. Was he successful in advocating for Ubuntu in South Africa in general? How do people see him, see his legacy as contributing to the philosophical evolution of South Africa? When you look, when we talk about transitional justice, it's usually you look at sometimes in some instances you have half of the population is somehow related to the perpetrator and the other half is related to the victim. And you have to find a way to help this society move on together and from this trauma they went through and live together as a society. So one needs to ask what are the alternatives that were there? That is one question that you have to ask and whether a conventional justice perspective such as court and the proceedings can help this society heal, clean the wounds and move on. And I think it's a very costly process. When we talk about the transitional justice, the committee, the commission in South Africa, they had 22,000 testimonies and it was broadcasted in public TV. So all the people could be part of this process and see what's going on. So if people were indicted and you had to seek the legal truth, usually this differs from objective truth, it can be very traumatic to the victim because in many instances you cannot prove what actually happened. And these witnesses might be also more traumatized by testifying a cross-examined and so on. And eventually the people will be acquitted and you will not know the truth. So amnesty and also these committees enabled the people to know or to get closer to the truth and what happened and let the truth kind of free them as much as possible. So the alternative is very costly. It can also further fragment the society and polarize it and eventually not seek the goals of such commissions. So that's one thing, speaking about like and then when you look at the community and you know the people who are there, as we said before, and they can relate to what's going on from their worldview from their culture and so on. So you have much more impactful results and you might, in most of these cases, as I said, 22,000 testimonies and be able to know what happened. And many victims actually were able to know what happened like with people who were murdered during this apartheid period and they would never have this option to know what happened unless you had this committee. So retrospectively, if you examine it and knowing what the alternative can provide, I think this meant to end. And it's for sure, as I said, you heard 22,000 testimonies. So you have lots of critics about it and some people would say, OK, that helped people run away from punishment. And some others would say, OK, you can't force people to forgive. And many people were not content with it. But in the sum and looking retrospectively on it, I think it was a huge success. And this 22 is actually very appreciated for it. And when you look at it today, I think it's brilliant. And these elements of alternative ways to a conflict resolution and so on are more acknowledged in the last two decades, also in criminal justice systems. When you're talking about people who need to have a continuous relationship, such as family disputes. Or when you're talking about juvenile justice, like criminal justice related to juvenile, when you see that this person can be changed and you get him to meet with his victim and try to get him back to society and to be part of society. And you have also more doubts about the conventional criminal justice system. So I think it's from a different perspective and different ways looking at it. I think it is something that you need to appreciate this new tutorial about. Yeah, well, OK. I mean, even if you only have a certain percentage of people actually actively, personally forgiving the atrocities, that's better than having nobody forgive the atrocities. So that leaves a good result, I'd say. And we'd all agree that Bishop Tutu had a lot to do with that result. And if he was driven and embraced Ubuntu, then Ubuntu had a certain influence on that result. I take all of that. But here's the question. So you have a Truth and Reconciliation Commission that is charged with trying to find out what happened, to explain to people who may have been involved on both sides of the coin what really happened. It's valuable in the sense of evoking forgiveness. This is not only in South Africa, it's in other places in Africa, for sure, and the world, I think. But it has a defined life. In other words, it's not going to go on forever. It's going to end. And certainly the one in South Africa ended. So what happens after a Truth and Reconciliation Commission however successful ends? Is that a satisfactory result? Or are there issues that are left over that need to be addressed later on? Do we have to have more than one given Truth and Reconciliation Commission to deal with a period in which so many people were injured and killed? Like you have to move on and look forward and try to build and develop. And if we're talking about what like if talking about talking in language of trauma and when community has a collective trauma and so on, you need to find a way to get out of it. And I think in South Africa and look forward and try to clean the wounds and look forward, you can't relive it and stay there forever. Memory is good and memorials are good. And as Simone Will said, destruction of the past is the worst of all crimes. But in order to go out from such a trauma and move on, you have to look forward and see how you can get these people living in one community and find the common things together and to have a just policy and governments in able living together in just way and so on. So it's a process that it has to be continued in another way, not in another true community, but in government policies, recognizing the need to live together in a fair way and respectful to the human rights of the people, to their culture values, and always to take out the good things through these policies. And it depends on eventually on the governments that comes afterwards. Even Desmond Tutu had his fix on the South African government later and things didn't go the way he wanted. So I hope I was able to answer your question. Yes, absolutely. And so if I want to avail myself of the Ubuntu philosophy now today, 2022, if I am concerned, for example, that we may be slipping back in some ways and I want to reconnect with Ubuntu, whether it's through Christianity or through the indigenous appreciation of it, how do I do that? Is there an organization, a church on the corner, somebody I can call a right to? Is there a group? How does it exist? How is it made available to me? How does it affect my community in South Africa? I think we can talk more about actually it was interesting to see how these South African anti-apartheid activists were able to resist also to have solidarity with other oppressed people in the world and saying their freedom is part of our freedom. Their humanity is part of our humanity. And as I said before, it's one thing. This interconnectedness, it exists in South Africa or in another communities. If you're talking about the village, town, country, but also we are a global community. So if you say that you are because of who we are, so it's more clear today and expanded that everyone will come and say, I am who I am because I am part of this global community. So it exists. Wanto is inspiring and helps you see this way. You can see it through Christianity. You can see it through other religions. And I'm not aware of all the indigenous wisdom you have in the world or all the religions. But it can be said in many ways. Like humans also sometimes intuitively have this. You can learn a lot from indigenous wisdom and relate to it also through modern or other sciences and modern philosophy and so on. So we are today who we are and I am who I am because of my global, because of our global community. So even everyone who is like in Hawaii or me here in Vienna or someone in Athens or in Jordan or wherever he is because of this interaction with the global community. If we can only find the universality of that thought because that is not really consistent with what happens in many places in the world. You know, there's a movie by Ai Wei Wei called Human Flow and this is a movie now four or five years old but it speaks of 65 million people behind barbed wire somewhere in the world and growing all the time in a sort of seventh circle kind of experience. You know, I would like to feel connected with them and I would like to feel they are connected with me but in the middle, there's Bob Wire. It's very troubling. And I want to ask you, we have a few minutes left actually Ai Wei Wei and I want to ask you one question that came up when I looked at the Ubuntu philosophy and that's this. Query whether Ubuntu is influential all over Africa, not only in South Africa, but in, you know, Central Africa, East Africa, West Africa, even North Africa, whether people think of it whether people live by it and so forth. And that's half of my question. The other half is one of the most interesting aspects of Ubuntu is that it's post-colonial and that it has, it is a continuation of the strengths that people gained in breaking away from colonial relationships, colonialism. And I wonder if you can talk to me about that too. So first talk to me about how influential it is in all of Africa and for that matter, the Middle East and talk to me about how it relates to colonialism. Is it a way to deal with the damage created by colonialism or not? Well, Middle East and Africa are not the same and how influential it's always depends on the people who try to focus on this potential of seeing the good way and the opportunity to move and see things through these values. And we're living in the world that most of our values are not coming from moral perspectives, but we value more other things like money and so on. And colonialism was also driven by this. So when you wanted to resist colonialism, so you're usually resisted and the local communities resisted through values and so on that contradict value on other things like the human rights of the local communities, their culture, their uniqueness, their right to determine their lives and so on, and their right to self-determination and so on. So it's values on other things. And we're talking today about globalization, most of the world values on other things, but eventually, as I said before, we are de facto interconnected. And if we look, for example, at Corona, you see how physically, like you have the physical consequences of this interconnectedness, like people are feeling it in their bodies and in their pockets and so on and not talking about the spiritual level or the value levels and so on. So de facto, that's what's going on. We are interconnected. And it can be also a way of seeing as transitional global justice because like we're still in relation to colonialism, we are still not seeing people, colonized nations are still paying the price of colonialism and they are still affected by it. So it's also a good way to see that eventually who they are is affected by colonialism, by this global interaction and what happened through colonialism. And it can be a good way to facilitate some kind of, it is very idealistic and so on, but when we work in human rights, we value these things, we value the people, we value the moral aspects and so on. We don't value weapons and we don't value money and trade and so on. And it's very challenging today to value people and their dignity and eventually also through international trade and so on, which also is a continuation of colonialism and transnational cooperation and so on. People are actually affected everywhere by like, if you put sugar in your coffee in the morning, you don't know where it came from and if it came from planting it with sugar in Africa while evacuating the indigenous people and doing some kind of atrocities while evacuating them. So eventually we are interconnected and we are still going through another kind of colonialism and I think Ubuntu can be a way to see how we as a global community needs to have, need to look at the suffering of other people and treat it as our suffering and to try to facilitate some kind of global transition of justice after colonialism. And if we say that it ended and it's not affecting the people anymore, we light ourselves because people are still paying a price of colonialism. So this, I hope I answered also. Yes, not only did you answer it, but I agree with what you said. Just a couple of other thoughts before we go and that is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had to make a record. Just as they had to make a record in Nuremberg in the war trials after World War II, and they did make a record and there's an enormous amount of material that came out of those trials and there's an enormous amount of material that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission not only in South Africa, but elsewhere to me that's one of the benefits of having a commission like that is that not only do you hear the evidence and educate people at the time, make it public, but you also keep a record for later. And because the byword is always never again. A lot of people feel that never again is happening again in Europe where you live right now, not necessarily in Vienna, but in other places around Europe that is an emerging right wing that are reminiscent of the 30s and never again could get to be again. And so, although we don't have the time to talk about that now, I was telling you about a movie that I saw that really struck me called Jusui Karl, which is a story of young people in various cities in Europe being swept into that right wing movement right now, mostly against migrants from the Middle East, from Africa. And if you have the time later, I would like to have a discussion with you. Another show, if you don't mind, are we? We could talk about your observation in Vienna and your understanding of the way things are working in Europe and whether the principles of Ubuntu would be useful in dealing with this in Europe. We don't wanna have another Nuremberg, do we? Anyway, what are your thoughts you wanna leave with people today about Ubuntu and your work, you know, in looking at it? Sorry, can you repeat the question I didn't understand? What are your thoughts, what message do you wanna leave with people about your work and your understanding of Ubuntu and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa? Yeah, I think people like this one too because Muslim and they are very inspirational and they were able to influence their people with their belief and commitment to humanity and the dignity of each person. So if you take this thinking with you in everything, I think it's really important and when you appreciate your humanity through others, it also helps you to live in a more peaceful community and it sounds very idealistic today and since, as you said, the world is moving in different directions but we always have to keep this commitment and this belief and that's people who usually work in human rights and choose to work in this field, have this solid commitment and they can have it through Ubuntu or through human rights and other people who may have it through religions but eventually you always have to see the good part of it and to stick to it. Yeah, strikes me that we could use a little more Ubuntu here in the United States, don't you think, these days? I think everyone can use it more because it just respects humanity and it says to me that the original, the authentic self of you is a very good version of humanity and you always have to be committed to it through what you do and how it affects other people and it can be related to your interactions in your small community, your family, your wider community and as I tried to say before, it's also, if you look at ourselves as a global community, it's also a good way to see it, especially when we're talking about international movement of commodities and so on and how we actually affect in our acts other people in other places in a way that we are usually not so aware of it but eventually in everything we do we are affecting and affected, so. Well, we're talking about a lot of the third person, I just have one last question for you. Do you live your life in accordance with the principles of Ubuntu? I actually, it wasn't called as Ubuntu for me but as I said before, it's one essence and you can reach it from different ways. You can reach it from human rights, you can reach it through religions and so on and for me, I try to, but eventually we have our weaknesses and limitations but it's something I think you should aim to, even if it was not defined as Ubuntu, I always believed in this interconnectedness between people. Even Einstein also said it's an illusion, it's an optical illusion that we are separated but eventually we are interconnected anyway and if we believe in it and if we actually realize it and I think Corona manifests it that we are affecting and affected so it gives you more responsibility to act anyway and to think about the consequences of your acts and you focused on the negative things that's going on but another positive things are going on too and the realization and the need of fair trade is more, people are more aware of it and in another ways it's becoming people are more aware of it today and the need of appreciating this interconnectedness maybe they are phrasing it in human rights language but it can be phrased in many ways and Ubuntu is one of the ways that people can look at it and every culture acts its way to look at these people to look at these issues. Arwa Hillel who joins us from Vienna who's with Project Expedite Justice and a PhD candidate on the question of Ubuntu in South Africa and elsewhere. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, thank you, but I'm not candid, it's an Ubuntu, I am interested in Ubuntu. Of course. I'm just, thank you Arwa.


I'm almost out of questions. Who are they? There, let's just do that. Who are they and how do we process this team? I think they're a veteran group that feels like if they're in the play-in or in the playoffs, they're gonna have an opportunity to win and so they're still tinkering with lineups, still trying to figure out who plays well together and just trying to find a rhythm. I don't think they've hit the panic button. I feel like any team that you have LeBron James on as well as Anthony Davis, you're gonna give yourself an opportunity to win games and I think they know that. I think they have the confidence in knowing that coming out of the second half of the season but they gotta get going. I think they understand the urgency at this point that they gotta start going and start getting quality wins. Yeah, that's a big time dump but they gotta start getting quality wins and like I said, they always feel like they can win games and so I think that's why you still see them mixing and matching lineups at this still at this point of the season. So they're still trying to find their identity.


It is excess estrogen causing height obsession in females when seeking a male partner. So I've been trying to figure out if there's a biological reason for women favoring taller men. And guys, please forgive my pronunciation of woman and woman, I still don't know the difference. Obviously, it has always occurred in some capacity, but it seems a bit more extreme, especially with cell phones and social media. Years ago, my mother and grandmother didn't seem to care they married shorter Italian men. What also got me thinking was that men prefer shorter women. Based off these two facts, we can assume that the effects of estrogen and testosterone on the brain are altering what the person is physically attracted to.  We sure know how much the government likes to mess with our hormones by polluting the food and water. So is it innate biologically? Does the estrogen pollution have a dramatic effect on it? And has higher mate access also altered the female height obsession, which we'll talk about towards the end. Now I'll usually include some studies here and there when I do these educational videos, but today it's almost entirely studies. The first one, the genetics of sex differences in brain and behavior. And it states, biological differences between men and women contribute to many sex-specific illnesses and disorders. Historically, it was argued that such differences were largely, if not exclusively, due to gonadal hormone secretions. However, emerging research has shown that some differences are mediated by mechanisms other than the action of these hormone secretions, and in particular by process of genes located on the X and Y chromosomes, which we refer to as direct genetic effects. So this study basically confirms what I just said. That our hormones, during prenatal, as a baby, our youth, play a role in molding our brains.  Females end up with higher amounts of estrogen, and males end up with suppressed testosterone. Both sex is suffering, the males, much more so. Then we have oestradiol level and opportunistic mating in women. High estradiol women were considered significantly more physically attractive by themselves and others. These women reported somewhat lower levels of satisfaction and commitment to their primary partners and a significantly greater likelihood along various dimensions of becoming acquainted with new potential mates. So oestradiol is one of the three main estrogens that women produce, the most important one outside of pregnancy. What this study is saying is that women will be more promiscuous when their estrogen levels are higher.  The men that do have proper development by chance, adequate testosterone, end up way better off because most other men don't even have an average amount. So then we have two studies together. The first one is, women's estradiol predicts preference for facial cues of men's testosterone. A growing body of research has shown that women express stronger attraction to more masculine traits when they are tested near ovulation than when tested during other times in the menstrual cycle. A lot of these effects have been interpreted as increased preferences for markers of elevated testosterone during times in the cycle when conception is most likely. Then we have, women's preferences for sexual dimorphism in height depend on menstrual cycle phase and expected duration of relationship. Taller males were preferred more often when women were in the follicular, fertile phase of their menstrual cycle and when the partners were chosen for short-term relationships. It doesn't sound good for the average Joes. These effects were independent of women's height. It doesn't matter if she's five foot tall or six feet tall. The results show that women in a potentially fertile phase of their menstrual cycle and when choosing a partner who might be less likely to invest in children, select genes of taller males. So not only are women more promiscuous when their estrogen is higher, they're more attracted to more masculine, higher testosterone, taller men. The reason their estrogen is higher is because if you look at the ovulation cycle, when women are at peak ovulation, their estrogen is around three times higher than normal. So by saying that women are more attracted to high testosterone men at peak ovulation, that's identical to saying women are more attracted to taller men when their estrogen is higher. Since testosterone induces height growth, it's safe to say that being tall and having high testosterone go hand in hand. That moves us on to two studies. One, testosterone therapy improves the first year height velocity in adolescent boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty. Hyperestrogenism, estrogen, too much estrogen, affects adult height outcome in growth hormone treated boys with Silver Russell syndrome. And a lot of these syndromes and diseases, including this one, are basically code words for certain nutritional deficiencies because in a perfectly healthy person with a perfectly healthy diet, they wouldn't be having any of these issues. And in that study, we see increased E2 concentration estrogen at age 10, 12, and 14 years were associated with less pubertal height gain, thus affecting achieved height. So it's pretty simple to figure out. Giving testosterone to a young boy makes him taller. And giving estrogen to a young boy or female as well, it's not just men, just women, makes them shorter. As we've hinted at several times, giving estrogen to the entire population through soyboy foods and birth control polluted water results in poor sexual success for the majority of the male population. And yeah, a female can have altered hormonal levels too, but it's not as common or as severe as what we're seeing in the male populace. So is this all hormonal? Is the higher estrogen levels giving females this crazy height obsession? Or does the environment play a factor as well? Height preferences in humans may not be universal, evidence from the Detoga people of Tanzania. Thus our data do not accord with the suggestion of a universal preference for taller men, but rather suggests that height preferences may be influenced by cultural, environmental, and ecological conditions. So what that means is that female height preference is dependent on environment as well. Since the access of men to most females is substantially higher, their standards will be higher. Instead of the tallest men they meet being six feet tall, they'll end up surrounded by many men that are much taller than that, ignoring the dozens to hundreds of shorter men that came along with that increased exposure. So yeah, they'll see 50 more guys that are average height, but the one guy that's six-six is what sticks in their mind. And that's very significant. That's funny to me because I'm literally the tallest male in my close family at 5'8". So imagine that I'm in a town in Italy and every male is approximately my height, but now the females can message some German or Scandinavian dude where they're half a foot taller than me.  Because if you read books like Western Price and Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, the males and females are basically the same height and they also physically appear the same. They're all beautiful and attractive and there wasn't as much of a variance. And one of the big secrets that the parasitically secret society members, whatever you want to call them, is they've had access to steroid hormones, synthetic ones for at least thousands and thousands of years. So while they're polluting your water supply, they're giving themselves and their own children the proper hormones to do whatever they want. So maybe I'll talk about that in another video, but that's going to be it for today. It's very apparent that there's multiple factors playing into this. The birth control in the water, more of these plastics and chemicals and astrogens, especially over the last 20 or 30 years, have made this more and more extreme.

These are my Royal World Problems. Dating with the title means nothing to be honest. I don't actually find it makes a difference because I never talk about anything like that. People get a preconceived idea and that's always very difficult. Just because I have a title they might sort of think I'm something more than they are. I'm not out there telling it to the world. I'm not out there using it to my advantage. I've had people that befriended me. Their friendship was actually nothing but lies. For my parents I don't think it would really affect them at all who I married. So my dad is definitely an advocate for marrying within the same circle. He definitely tries to introduce me to some princesses. I don't get judged about my aristocratic background because I don't really tell anybody about it. I didn't even really know until I asked my dad. I do get judged by thinking I am stuck up. I do hang out with people who get me if they judge me then they wave bye bye. I'm a man of mystery. To be honest I think I'm an open book. I'm crazy but I like the good crazy not the bad crazy. My parents have always kept me really grounded and I live quite a normal life. I don't choose to have a lifestyle due to my title so I live a very down-to-earth and humble life. It means tennis and it was fantastic. Coming over to London for the Royal Wedding of Megan and Harry but I did not attend it and I actually didn't even watch it. Well when I was applying for my Annabelle's membership a long time ago I've never used my background to get in anywhere because I got that base card.  I bought a chest of field for my bedroom. Range over sport, SVR and electric. Blue, gorgeous. I spent a thousand pounds in a club and I don't even remember it. At the Russian Ball and it was Princess Olga Romanov. Man walked up to me and he happened to be Prince of Pakistan. He bought me a glass of champagne which I said no thank you I don't want but it was nice of him. I don't even know what colour that is. Last week actually I love Royal Blue. The last time I wore Royal Blue is now. I haven't watched The Crown. I need to watch The Crown. What's all of this about The Crown? It was a month ago. I absolutely love that show. Do frog legs count? I do it daily. I try to find my princess. Now I'm a jokey man. I've never kissed a frog.
