Hello, Buenos dias, bonjour, and other hello's. Welcome to this bit of a tour of the OEG Connect site for the OEGlobal 2021 conference. I'm your tour guide, Alan Levine, and I'm going to try to quickly point out to you the important features of the site because there's a lot of features, but mostly it's like, how do you get there? So the most direct route is always starting your path at connect.oeglobal.org, which will take you to our open education global community space. There's a lot of other things going on here, but the main thing you'll see right away is that the conference for now is going to be at the top of the list. Before we get in there, just want to point out a couple other things. If you're in connect, if you're created your account and you're logged in, you'll have an icon at the top that represents yours. That always just has some important information. One of them, I see that there's numbers there that blue one, that's a notification. That means that someone mentioned me or replied to something that I wrote. It's a good way to stay connected. The green dots indicate I have a private message that I may want to attend to. All of these are accessible when you click the menu and find them under here. So this is a total summary of the notification. These are some private messages that I have gotten or sent, et cetera. But the key thing is this little person icon that I want to make sure that you know about. So these go to a lot of different things for your account. Importantly, are your preferences. So here is where you can change your profile picture and other, your name as it appears on the site. When you go to profile, this lets you edit your bio, which shows up when you are appeared on the site. You can indicate whatever time zone that you want is local to you. So that actually just going to introduce my current time zone. And you can fill out the information that appears when people find you on the site. Even put pretty pictures on the background. That's all fun, but not necessarily critical. One thing that is important is, and because we're trying to have as much of this conference available in many different languages, is you can change the language of the interface. So if English is not your spoken language, you can change it to many different ones that will be appropriate for you. Now this does not translate the content, but all the interface items, the menus, the buttons, et cetera will be in a language that is more appealing probably to you. So we want to get back to where we were. How do we do that? Always get back to your home by clicking the OE Global Connect site. So let's get into the conference area. And this is what we call the lobby. And we've somewhat modeled this after the lobby of a conference. And there are going to be people to meet and things to do. We'll come back to all these major areas, but important in the lobby, and this is typical of everywhere in this conference site because this is not a website per se, but this is a community discussion environment powered by discourse, the open source tool.  So in the welcome area, this is the general place where you can find out what's going on, participate in social activities, or just perhaps even start your own. So we have a couple different activities that you can go in. So we have a conference survey. And you'll notice also, as I hover over different items, I get a little bit of preview about what is in this area. But I'll go into this survey right now and I can come here and say, wow, how many OE Global Conferences have you been? This is my first, I'm new to this. And so this is a fun way for us and everybody else to get to know you. Okay, well, that's interesting. What do I do now? Do I click the back button? Well, if I just click OE Global Conference, this always takes you back to this lobby area. So in this lobby, we have some important information that you'll see under the welcome. Important information is always pinned to the top of an area and will be shown in the gray. Very important things, such as the conference directory where you can see other people who are registered for the conference, find them. You can send a message. So I can sort of see like, oh, wow, here is my good friend, Aperva.  And it's like, hi Aperva, I'm really looking forward to seeing you at the OE Global Conference. Maybe we can get together for a sidebar conversation. So use that wherever you are in OE Global to find your way around. We'll go back again, we'll go to the conference, we'll get back to the lobby. There's lots of ways to get back here. The other thing is that perhaps I want to start a new conversation here. So as a participant in the conference, this is something that you get for your registration. So I'm looking for contacts who speak Polish and do OER in chemistry. Maybe not the most brilliant thing. So you can post anything that you want and discourse gives you a couple of suggestions. And then you write what you want to see. So this is what you might want to do if you're looking to meet people is to put a message here and hopefully someone will reply and maybe arrange a meeting or if you're looking for particular resources maybe they'll help you out. I'm gonna cancel this one because I'm just playing around here. You'll also see as you go around there are these little links down here below tags. These social are gonna be all our social activities. So these are things that you can do in between sessions for fun to get to meet people. We've got a way to put yourself on the map, a padlet map, we have some sharing of recipes and we have these fun remixable postcards.  But you can see as we're looking at the activity and now we've just started that someone with a dog icon, that's actually my other account, created this, but we can see the icons for other people who have participated in the conversation. And again, wherever you see these icons you can find out who they are. Paul Stacey, I know Paul. He's a great guy, maybe I should message him. Anyhow, I'm being a little bit silly. So we're gonna come back and here's the other navigation key wherever you see this menu. I'm gonna come back and see O-Global Conference and I'm going to come back here to the latest and I'm going to try to get back and already my demo is not going very well. So I'm gonna go back to the front, pretend I didn't do that. But anyhow, the lobby, use it, pay attention to it, go in there, make lots of comments, reply, connect with each other. That's what you can do before the conference, during breaks in the conference, even after the conference. The main part to understand now are these different areas that the conference is organized with. And there's a lot of them. And so it might get confusing. So we don't want you to get panicked and we'll show you how to get help. But anytime that you are lost, remember you always click the O-Global Connect to get back to the beginning. So blue areas are generally information about the conference, red areas are related to the sessions, we'll get to them shortly. The Info Desk, this is gonna be where we have information about the conference, help when using OEG Connect, some guidelines for making it a safe space, navigating, these are all things that our staff have written to sort of help you get figured out. Important thing is like, how do I get help? What if I get stuck anytime? So there's a couple different ways that you can get assistance from OEGlobal. You can go to our help center. And so these are people who are on hand to help you and you can send a message and it will go out to everybody in our help desk. You can send an email to this address and that will go to someone, his name is Alan and he will answer you right away. And also, very interesting, we're giving an experiment because we heard a lot of people use Telegram. If you're in Telegram or wanna join, we have a little chat group there. So you can go to that group and you can say like, that website, it's so complex. I can't figure out how to get to the sessions or what time should I get up to make this session? So you can use that space as well to have conversations even outside of the conference. So we're gonna go back to the front desk. We're gonna come back to these areas in a second. But most important areas are related to the conference because that's what you're here for, right? So the way this conference is organized is that there are specific action area webinars. These are live sessions organized around the conference theme of the UNESCO OER recommendations. And so they are also organized around different languages that they're offered in. So we've got webinars happening in English, in French, in Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. I think I got them all. And so within a webinar, you'll find anywhere from two to five different presentations. So the webinars are generally the important ways that the conference is organized. You can also find, and we'll explore these in a second, individual listings for all the presentations that are included in the webinar. We have other formats known as prerecorded presentations. These are ones you can come to at any time and explore. And we also have some interactive activities, which again are things that our presenters have created that are activities you can do during the conference, share your results, connect with each other, self-paced independent learning professional development right here in the conference space. But the most important piece is to come first into the action area webinars. So what you'll find here is they're listed and there's about 24 different webinars. And they're not really in order because again, this is kind of a community space. So this is maybe not the best way to navigate and find the webinars that you go to unless you know for sure that you wanna participate in this webinar too that's happening in Spanish. So for any webinar activity, you're going to find out some information about it, the UNESCO area that it applies to, who the chair is gonna be, very important here. Whenever you see a date and time in OEG Connect, it's set to your local time wherever you are in the world. This is where I am, but that way you don't have to do any time zone conversion. The reference time for most of this is going to be the time in Paris, which of course is the host of the conference and non-twitch will be the face-to-face conference, but OEG Connect will always convert this to your local time. So you don't ever have to do any of those time zone calculations to figure out how long. And so most importantly is within the webinar area is where you join. So this is where the link to Zoom will be activated. It's not quite activated yet. And then you'll find out an overview of what's going on. So there's always introductions. These are a summary of the presentations and letting you know that what we want you to do is after a webinar or during a webinar, participate. Make a comment, ask a question, make a suggestion. But as well, if we're going to go to interested in this particular session, we can find out the full details, the abstract. There's often an extended abstract. Again, it's got the time of the webinar that it's part of. It's not specifically the time of this presentation with the webinar. Very important is that if you come to a presentation that's part of a webinar, you have to go to the webinar summary page to get to the Zoom link. So that's what this link is for. And letting you know that you can see the other presentations that are in the same part of the webinar. Now, as these things, the conference unfolds, the presenters from the webinar perhaps will start replying to their own session and offer things like additional information, web links, videos, anything that they feel might support the webinar and the presentation, as well as this is the place for you to interact with them. So this is, you know, in a typical conference presentation, there's only five minutes for Q&A. You have forever to do Q&A here because I can ask a question now of these presenters if I want to ask a question about what UNED and Costa Rica is doing, which is always good. And so this is a presentation that I think, I wanna, you know, I wanna come back to. So important feature here is I can bookmark this webinar listing, so it saves it in my settings. Very interestingly, it actually even sends me a reminder based upon the date of the webinar about when this is coming. So I've added this to my bookmarks. It lets me know my bookmarks appear here. And so I can see that I can collect sessions I may wanna go to by using this bookmark feature. So we hope that makes sense and will provide help for you through the way. So now we get into some of this navigation here. So I can go back to all the webinar presentations and when I'm in one of these environments, I can click this to go back to the conference, but I can also now jump over to another conference area. What are these prerecorded presentations? What is that about? Well, these are ones, obviously, they're presentations that their presenters will have before the conference. They'll post a video, slides, additional resources, et cetera. For this very first one, we can see that Lizzie Garner Ford from University of Edinburgh has already posted a link to the slides. There's a presentation of a video and links, et cetera. And so the presenters may also put questions or lead discussion prompts that they want to reply with. So again, really use this reply button often to ask questions, to post comments. The presenter will get notified that someone asked them a question. Very, very important just to use as much as possible to participate by communicating within this connect environment because we aren't together in one room. And so this back and forth communication with an OEG Connect is what will make the conference experience come alive. So again, we urge you to explore the asynchronous activities. These are all ones that you can do it any time during the conference. So if I'm really interested on inter-institutional community, again, this quest, this looks really fascinating. There'll be an abstract, there'll be details. By the time the conference comes around the presenters will have posted here the instructions and things that you should do to participate, to do an activity and to share your results here in Connect. And so I think I'm gonna like bookmark that one too because I wanna save that. I'm kind of in the use of my bookmarks. I think that's going to be really handy. So if we go back to the conference just to let you know again some more information most important is like, how do I find what to do? So we do have a schedule and there's a lot going on during the week. So there's a mixture of these live sessions and there's things that you can do any time during the week. So there is a schedule page for Monday sessions, Tuesday for every day of the week plus the listing of all the interactivity, social activities. Whenever you're on one of these session pages, schedule pages, you'll find the links to what's going on on each day as well as the access to a list of all prerecorded presentations, interactivities and social activities. The schedules will be listed in the order that they take place during the day. Again, remember, local time. So if I'm really interested in this one, I might be up at 2 a.m. to watch this presentation. So all the information about this webinar, you can click the title link here or go to webinar. That's where you get access to join it the via Zoom ahead of time. But you can browse the presentations that are part of it. So these are gonna be organized schedule pages by all the things that are going on. So you might wanna go ahead and bookmark things, webinars you wanna attend. We really encourage you to not only go to webinar just to see one presentation, but to see them all because we really wanna have discussion around these overarching themes of the conference. But just to let you know when we look at these, this list of prerecorded presentations, this one is a little bit more orderly than the one when you're in the general area where they're all together because they're organized by the recommendation action area. So these are all the prerecorded presentations related to building capacity to developing supportive possible, et cetera. So you can read all these different areas. We've built in a lot of different ways to find these presentations. So there's tags. So if I click here, building capacity, I'm going to see all the presentations, all the activities in the entire conference related to this action area. We can also find out, if I click the Spanish language tag, we can see all the activities, all the things going on that are tagged, that are gonna be done in Spanish. So we're trying as much as possible to create different ways for you to navigate and find information during the conference. So again, that was extremely fast. There's a lot going on, but we hope that you really get in there as much as possible. If you need help at any time, you can find me, the dog icon, you can send me a message anytime or any other of the OE Global staff. And chances are other people in the conference will be willing to help you out. So speak up, speak often, participate and contribute as much to building out this understanding and implementation of the OER recommendation areas. And we hope you have an exciting week. There's gonna be a lot going on, things are being added right up until the doors open and there's gonna be a lot more social activities going on as well. So again, I hope this helps provide some context and information about how to use the OE Connect environment. And we hope you have a really fantastic experience at OE Global 2021.


Wholeness, not really much to say besides it's all there is and really simple There is only wholeness How could it be otherwise? It's not possible for it to be otherwise You'll notice wholeness has that capital H So it's not only whole with a W in the sense that it's not two It's not separate. It's an on dual that it's one There's only that unity but it also has that capital H because of whole Because it's no thing Nothing void empty deep Well, it's always here And it's always already can never be lost Therefore all seeking is hilarious and futile Because separateness is an impossibility Whole with the capital H is the absence of a separate individual a separate me and that's the fulfillment That is always already here Prior to any seeking any Chasing of experience Wholeness is fulfillment, which is always an already nothing everythinging Which is this is the ultimate fulfillment and It can't be found by objectifying it can't be found by Boxing and in that Spelling of wholeness There's also a zero and a one as the O and the L Nothing everythinging is zero one-ing zero one-ing Shunya monadding There's only that Which is always and already It's so simple zero one-ing Nothing everythinging That's why that zero and that one is there Just let some of the community mates That were in the shared space here outside just let them know that I was recording I have a little sign up on the door that I put up Really such simple stuff And there's really not much That can actually be said about the ineffable Because it can't be known it can't be objectified it can't be held on to it can't be attained It's just always what is How can what always already is? be an attainment That's literally impossible How can you attain nothing everythinging? When that's what always already is That's why all Seeking is completely futile and the zero and one are a great way of Saying emptiness is in Empty luminosity boundless energy an infinity that is so perfect and so free that it can dream That there's a center point among others Wholeness means no center points Wholeness means non locality means non positionality Really simple right wholeness Means without location It means without position There are no locations or positions anywhere In what is whole In what is no thing Everythinging that's what this is and It's always mystery. It's always ineffable unspeakable Can't put words or symbols or math or science or religion or anything No construct or concept can ever touch it, but every construct concept idea Is still it It's totally futile for no thing to Object or box itself Because it can't be done because it's already everything It's already wholeness the question in the live chat about non-dual awareness It's another way to describe the non locality of What is this? It's another way to describe the wholeness Only that this is There has been less use here with words of awareness or consciousness those seem to have been quite appropriated in ways and They themselves are just shelves on the way to nothingness or emptiness Everythinging They're Comfortable grounds that a self or me or seeker Can rest on or sit on or conceptualize about or talk about states of awareness or consciousness or Shifts in awareness or consciousness or levels or processes or transformations or paths and That just continues the illusion of duality, which is not And that's what the non-dual means. It means not to So there would be no such thing as a subject and an object There would just be this and Whatever is hearing whatever is looking That is nothing everythinging Without gap without separation without distance All of those things are just an illusion. They're just a dream So getting caught on any ground any shelf any box is Another way that me grabs and avoids The reality of being nothing everythinging wholeness is So simple so ordinary that it's overlooked and It's so always already That it's unbelievably simple that It's already that and that It can't be found Through a pursuit It's too simple and too ordinary. It's too natural it's like sky and trees and Insects and animals It's too natural and spontaneous and ordinary and empty and is missing. It's too Unbelievably simple and innocent. It's it's that it's that puppy. It's that kitten. It's that baby It's that innocence. It's that non locality that wholeness Before all of those conditioned ideas that have that tension or contraction in the body of I'm a separate individual among other separate individuals and I lack and I must attain Worthiness Nothing is always and forever nothing It's always and forever wholeness And it's so simple There are plenty of cases of Babies children that are not conditioned and that Have never Not been whole this is where things seem to be heading with home Dow Decentralizing basic needs infrastructures Enabling freedom because When those basic needs are met and there's no forced entry into the Matrix monetary earning Identity separation system there is more spaciousness To just simply be alive and to be this so to be death Aliving or death living and so those simple Ordinary dog or cat animal plant insect baby child, that's just Innocence it's just always there And it can't be lost But apparently it can experience a contraction into a me Into separation into lack And that's all what wholeness is It's all wholeness that is dreaming me There's another question in the chat about how can nothing be wholeness if it's nothing You can see it gets a bit conceptual and nonsensical you can insert loops and PhD jargon and Philosophical inquiry and all kinds of nonsense Because it's obvious that nothing is wholeness It's obvious that that's everything It doesn't need some sort of logical mathematical reasoning It's just obvious simple and ordinary. There's only wholeness There's only nothing everything. That's all that there is Nothing means Non-local It means everything. It's really the death of the illusory questioner It's impossible for there to be a questioner because it's already Nothing that's asking the question the questioner is nothing wholeness asking questions It's fulfillment or unknowing asking questions Innocence asking questions. It's emptiness asking questions That's why it's hilarious. That's why it's a joke. That's why it's so comedic What is already? Asking questions about how it can become It's a total Hilarious illusion Another question in the chat about it all just our mind So is it all just our mind and Then experiencing ourselves so There's an apparent body There are apparent bodies So nothing is bodying Everything and the bodies apparently have Organs inside of the skin like a heart and a brain and a GI tract and apparently the brain has These eyes that are jutted out Perceiving and so Anything beyond that like mind or consciousness or awareness is Adding an idea. It's just adding an idea and What is being said is the absence of adding ideas The absence of an idea called mind the absence of an idea called consciousness the absence of an idea called awareness the absence of an idea called experience Experience is about a center point. There is no center point and how could nothing Be an experiencer Where does experience sit? Where does it rest? Where does it register? It's just simply nothing everything. It's just infinity Being Not infinity Experiencing itself or nothing Experiencing everything It's just everything in infinity ing There's not two It's the most simple ordinary raw not Tunis imaginable Which is what always is There's another question Are you in direct contact with that nothingness? If so, what's it like? so this is About no one It's about they're not being a you You is the same thing as there being a center point of experience of perception of sensation thought Emotion There is no Experiencer or center point or you the thought Happens to no one it happens to no thing It just happens Apparently a thought is just an apparent It doesn't happen to anything.  There's no doer. There's no thing That is hearing that is seeing No thing that is non-local that is nowhere that is no one is Seeing hearing thinking It's so simple.  It's just pure simple and ordinary all of these additional ruminations are just totally futile Yes becoming is an illusion Yes Just nothing happening. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's simple. It's ordinary. It's just nothing happening. It's not extraordinary Ordinary Me or a center point wants to be special it wants its story to be validated it wants to be unique There's no uniqueness or Specialness in Infinity or wholeness. There's only infinity There's no specialness The desire to be special Comes from or to become comes from a place of Me it comes from an illusion that is a center point that lacks and that needs Another question if there is nothing no one then what is the individual the individual is nothing. It is no one the body is Nothing, it's no one But the individual is again just another concept or box that was created. It's just another idea it's just Body and that is no thing or no one body Another question, but aren't you The one who is aware Why is that wrong to say? It's just misleading in a way. There's an obsession in a way in Seeking culture and the spiritual industrial complex or sick s. I see there's just an obsession to be aware there's an obsession with there being a you and a you as a center point So it's just misleading That there is a you that is aware is misleading no one is Not misleading no one is the purest form of saying absence of Saying no me of saying wholeness only of Saying only Non-local everything Well, this is interesting Because in one of the last episodes I've said that OCD is obsessive center disorder so like me or Centerpoint it's an obsessive center disorder and there's also a comment about consciousness obsession. So it's OCD is an obsessive consciousness disorder so everything in Spiritual industrial complex and seeking It's about and even in neuroscience research It's just about Trying to Say what is nothing and it's not possible to say what is nothing It's just not possible. It's funny obsessive center disorder and obsessive consciousness disorder There's no center point There's no you There's only no one everything There's a question above that. So is it an ego illusion? Again, ego is just another idea or concept. It's just in a way. It's just easier to just say me So is me illusion? Yes. Me is illusion a center point is an illusion a position is an illusion an Identity is an illusion now it still appears that There's a driver's license or a passport that has specific symbols on it that that Registered to this specific body so that it can move between The illusory bounded nation states But that's just an appearance and it's just a story That's just an add-on to what is raw natural spontaneous Identity less location less everything so it's just nothing with all of its added symbols or ideas or Identifiers or attributes And then the 10,000 things is just being lost in those identifiers attributes name form differentiation separation Concepts ideas It's a ceasing of Objectification it's a ceasing of boxing It's a ceasing of that it's a ceasing of obsessing about meaning and purpose Meaning and purpose belong to a me. They belong to a center point because everything has to have significance Everything has to have specialness How does this? apply special to Me and then everything becomes about object object object object experience experience Experience is all about me and my story and specialness and time and space and a journey that is transformative that I finally can attain wholeness or attain nothing But it's always already nothing Yes, it really wants an object Yes, and an object is kind of like a It's like a pacifier It's like a spiritual lollipop It's just something that it can latch on to or grasp on to To avoid the no-thing everything So as long as there can be an obsessive Center or compulsion With objects or experiences or meaning and purpose As long as there can be that then there can be a constant avoiding of the no-thing everything so Basically another way to say it is that as long as there is Serious the appearance of a very serious geopolitical separation porn that is happening between illusory bounded nation states as long as me can obsess about the objects of that separation porn and Yell at and argue with a parent others about what should be happening in that separation porn That is the one of the best ways that wholeness can avoid itself or hide from itself Which obviously it's wholeness that is me that is Objectifying separate nation states There's no separation There are no nation states nation states are a complete illusion It's not to say that Tradition and culture can't be Beautifully music or can't be beautifully food can't be beautifully celebrated because it absolutely can there can easily be a celebration of culture of of This likes certain kinds of foods and that's just the way it is and There can be a celebration of that and an enjoyment of that without there being a Obsession about separation porn there will be a whole episode on separation porn which is a fascinating way that it's Come up to Discuss Or give name to what is Happening because separation porn is one of the best ways to describe Innocence What's the way that me illusory hides The wholeness that is already there was a question about What about space and galaxies? It's just What is just Space and galaxies what about pizza and burgers It's almost like the there's just an obsession with what about this and it's like It's wholeness. That's asking that it's nothing that's asking that Nothing is asking. What about space? What about galaxies? What about pizza? there's this massive hierarchy of values and and Boxes and ideas and What's do listically good or bad or right or wrong? But the thing is is that wholeness is unconditional love so it's all unconditional love Appearing as a tree or appearing as war or appearing as sushi This seems to really like sushi and that's just what's appearing. That's just what's happening Apparently Interesting it's like another father to tuck you in at night. It's gonna be okay to me Yeah, no one is unconditional love it is wholeness When the me is absent, which is always the case There's a certain Like a refrigerator hum of Become become become seek seek seek find wholeness in experiences That goes away. It's beautiful. It goes away. It never was it's seen that it never was there was never Some sort of Contracted tension around oh become become seek seek And it's important to say that there's not a center point that it's gonna be okay, too So it's not about it being okay or not okay. It's not about that It's not about feeling a blanket of comfort. It's not about that It's that there is no one home Everywhere forever Always there's no one home. There's no experience sir. It's just whatever's happening. Whatever's arising It's just whatever is this thing. Whatever is is zing. It's just that That's what is being said. It's just simply that There's nothing more that can be added on to that there's another question so if you are not the Experiencer observer awareness and are nothing no one what does this mean or does it mean nothing and it just is yes It just means nothing and it just is it means nothing It means nothing It's very important Because as soon it can me can latch on and begin creating all kinds of meaning about it and Then there would still be a center point that is trying to put No one on a shelf and say this is an attainment because it's not a there's no shelf There's no shelf to to place anything on There's no registrar or file system It's just is zing and then there's also No meaning By the nothing and wholeness that everything already always is now I Said this in the previous episode that the ultimate Morality or ethics or change that the world needs Does not come from me It does not come from a center point that is trying to manipulate Control or change the appearance in its paradigm of duality of right and wrong or good or bad It is actually the ultimate morality ethics Change that the world needs comes from The wholeness that is already it comes from no one or nothing Because when clear that it's no one or unknowing Everythinging then it's just natural and spontaneous that the body builds dows or decentralized autonomous organizations or builds in The paradigm or for the paradigm of wholeness for the paradigm of unconditional love For the paradigm of non-separation Which is not a paradigm, but it's just the natural state the natural way that the body is spontaneous Wholeness and so that's why dowing Like we're doing with home Dow that is a natural emergent phenomena of wholeness me can never ever Ever have any Change that the world needs because it will always be from a center point. It will always be from a self It will be from a me Even if me Holds an idea of unity. It's just a unity of separate means And there's no that's why it's not to or non-duality. It's not oneness or unity because oneness or unity Still leaves room for individuals or me's that are separate that are in a unity or in a oneness Which is not what's happening. It's not that That's a common level that is discussed in spirituality, but it's not that It's that there is only no one Everything there's only no one wholeness thing. There's only that there's only non-locality. There's only non-locality There's no separate center points that are oneness There's no separate center points And that answers the next question about what's the value in seeing the world in this way? Does it feel good? Is it to the end of suffering? First of all, there is no world first of all the world is an appearance there's only nothing everything in the world is simply an appearance and the What was said previously about the ultimate morality ethics and change that the world needs balloons again that Wholeness is that wholeness is effortlessly naturally spontaneously dowing It just does Because there's obviously no me. There's obviously no center point. There's obviously Non-locality and so when non-locality is obvious, which is the natural way that everything is then there's just a spontaneous way that the body Moves in the way that it builds What appears as the future of earth? Decentralizing basic needs Enabling freedom love prosperity all of that's just a story No one or no thing hearing right now nothing hearing That's it What is sought is? Nothing Hearing that's what's up. No one watching No one watching is non-local Wholeness Simple stuff really Some more comments here. There's just home. It's completely natural. Yes exactly And it's always just this whatever it is Whatever it is. It's always home. It's always this It's always wholeness appearing as this is Another comment. I'm loving this. Have you had Emerson non-duality on simulation? He is super clear like you I Know of Emerson and I like Emerson's content. So have not had him on the show yet. That's a fun recommendation I'll reach out That'd be fun There is quite a focus right now on just these streams as well as It's exciting being in Austin and having access to the comedic Wheel that comes through here and Getting comedians coming on the show to banter about this exact Non-topic Just the sheer ridiculousness of everything. So there's an excitement about that And there's been a good amount of DMs and outreach for that already. So we'll see How that goes it's exciting. It's so exciting There's another question here. So we are it or is there no such thing as a we yes There's no such thing as a we There's only nothing everything. There's no we now The language can appear if there is whatever two or three apparent bodies in a living room that are all leaving to go somewhere and It's like, hey, can we get going? You know, so it can appear as language for whatever is happening apparently but There's no I me you we they all of those are box boxes of separation in a way and No thing everything Or wholeness is in What's hearing this That is no one and no one is non-local So there's no we and they has been such a fascinating engine for separation porn there was Perhaps it was maybe five six years ago and the show was kind of lifting off and There were a good amount of guests that would say they it would always be about they are Manipulating or they are, you know, whatever The global ruling class or whatever they they they they and this would frequently ask like what do you mean by they? Who exactly are you talking about and there would never be an answer and Nowadays in 2023 They has become the probably the most popular way of generating separation porn They They are the enemies that one they are the enemies There is no they there is no they and that's The one of the last things that me wants to hear is that there's no they because it undermines it cuts duality at its root There just is no they What is an appearance of a global ruling elite is just no one everything the 2200 billionaires are just the same no one everything Although it appears like there is a lot of me that is greedy and Center-pointing and It's fascinating because nature nature is beautifully Distributed and decentralized It's beautifully constantly mirroring or reflecting To no thing it's constantly like there's only these Resource exchanges that happen underground between like trees and mushrooms for example This is something that we that I wrote about in high-level perception three years ago That symbiosis is not being mirrored in the me Because the me is a center point and there's no center points in trees and mushrooms There's no center points. So if there's If there's a sequestering of additional let's say resources, there's a distribution of the additional resources to those that need it It's actually way too simple all of this is too simple and all of this Languaging it makes it more complex where it's actually very unneeded Exactly It's just absolutely unneeded all of the extra language and complexity and jargon and concepts and There's it's just simple. It's way too simple. It's like the way that nature effortlessly Distributes resources as a harmonic whole is hilariously Human separation apparently is Siloed into center points of me that are hoarding and greedy and caring about funding their military Industrial complexes of their illusory board it boarded nation states bordered nation states And fighting against an imaginary other fighting against an imaginary they Fighting against an imaginary they or an imaginary other is The primary separation porn It's ridiculous, man. If there is no one nothing. What is consciousness? That's what has been said multiple times consciousness awareness mind Brain body whatever you want to say that's no thing. That's no one There's another question here. Are you gonna do shrooms again or psychedelics? There's always questions about this First of all, there's no knowing anything. There's just no knowing anything. It's just this apparent spontaneous effortless flow The most trippy thing imaginable is a center point in infinity The most trippy thing imaginable is wholeness Apparently contracting into a sense of me that lacks Something that's always forever Already fulfilled That apparently lacks needs and seeks and then uses things like psychedelics or traveling or books or gurus Or substances or relationships or whatever to try to become whole That's the most trippy thing imaginable so the most natural and ordinary thing is Obviously Emptiness ising this obviously the most natural thing the most unnatural thing If we were to create a distinction, which there isn't one is A center point is a me Yeah, there's some comments about is this solipsistic philosophy and there's a comment after its philosophy of non-dualism Yeah, again, these are just words and the words are just The all language all symbols all concepts ideas It's all just Extra boxes and add-ons and stuff to this there's just this what is hearing this voice is Nothing everything that's it this That's it this Whatever is apparently appearing. That's it. That's it. There's nothing more. That's it bird flying It's just what is water drinking another question about but what about for fun? Well, whatever just spontaneously like music happens comedy clubs happen playing out in the sun petting the dogs and the cats cracking jokes with friends It's just effortless fun effortless It's like the innocence of the child That was always Innocent non-local whole playful bantering and This is just the story but prior to all of that contractive conditioning by parents teachers society ideologies You are your name. You are separate from that separate individual with their name and you have to earn worthiness you have to earn validation you have to become whole by proving yourself and There goes the spiral of becoming You know There's another question about so then what is perspective? Well again simple unknowing Unknowing it's way it's way too. It's way too simple unknowing is No, thinking which is non-local which is Perspective or perception before there's a comprehending entity me or center point or experiencer It's just always already. No thing everything. Yeah, there's a Comment there in the chat about Exploring non-dualism. There's the Is-ness which is no separation between nothing and something It's really simple There's no separation or difference between nothing and an apparent me It's just this and it's obvious why it's hard or difficult for me Which is obsessed with Boxing and trying to figure it out Trying to know its way to unknowing. It's not possible. How can you add or attain? To what is already empty unknowing You can't get to what is already empty unknowing You can't get there because it already is That's why this Donated all of its books There's nothing left to get from a book another good way to say it is there's no shelf Nothing has no shelf where an attainment of a gold star of enlightenment or awaken Where it can sit and be applauded and awarded There's no shelf There's only nothing there's no shelf Nothing can be added no attributes or identifiers or Anything nothing can be added and just to be clear if there's a good recipe for some sort of soup and and It can arise to read a recipe of a soup or look it up on the internet and make it There's just what's happening It's always already just what's happening Another good way to say it is me is more Me equals more More more more More more Instead of just being the Emptiness that's ising It tries to fill of Vecuity or void and it's impossible to fill Avoid it's It can only be the void That's everything in There's only being the void. That's everything There's impossible to fill Void that's everything impossible and so me is stuck in a stinky little pond of trying to fill Void And it can't know Attainment or experience or addition or substance relationship travel Guru psychedelic anything nothing will ever satisfy they'll never fulfill because It wants an object or something to fulfill it, but it's already made of Unknowing it's already made of emptiness is already made of fulfillment Probably will In this episode soon and perhaps will sign on again and stream later probably Have some Sunny side up eggs a bit of a salt and pepper Pipped in butter It's a good comment something is really a Miniscule part of everything is hardly worth mentioning yeah Anything that can be boxed or objectified or something if I'd It's hardly worth mentioning Boundlessness is so infinite. It's so pure. It's so spontaneous natural beautiful perfect free Unconditional that to be obsessively compulsively Boxing and objectifying and something of fine. It's just such a contraction in the In the body and then therefore in the appearance. It's beautiful when no one just Roars when no one just roars It just cuts that dualistic root of me because me will try to Control and manipulate the appearance sir and then when nothing recall he is just like you don't exist You're not real. There is no me Then there's no longer a Dormat There's no longer It's a no one is unmanipulable Unknowing is unmanipulable So if there is nothing no one's another comment, then what is the evolution of consciousness about then? Discovery and inventions compounding based off of knowing Well Evolution is just an appearance It's just an appearance It's just what's apparently happening And just to be clear nothing doesn't evolve Nothing or wholeness Zero one ing doesn't evolve it is is Evolving would be becoming it doesn't become it is is apparently and there's an appearance of a Microphone and a computer and a camera which appear to be Modern inventions But that itself is part of a story called time and Time is just an appearance Evolution is just a story. It's just an appearance So it's just what is this microphone the computer the camera this is why the Tao Home Tao in the developer network. There's a lot of scientists. There's a lot of engineers. There's a lot of inventors Nothing everything isn't is not about Not doing it's not about not science. It's not about not inventing. It's not about not engineering It's not about making not making better advances in technology. It's not about that Actually Decentralizing basic needs infrastructures is a lot about Nothing everything in an appearance of creating better technologies Free energy beautiful solar punk style Future housing Communal builds food forests water wells Just everything imaginable in those communal spaces all kinds of sports all kinds of art entertainment comedy play relaxation Spons whatever imaginable and then you have the Those the bodies can live in houses in those modern houses and and it's It's it's just it's in it's really indescribable the best way to do it is to go to the home calm and look at the white paper It took a long time to put together that white paper Which is the tokenomics is the mechanism behind the Tao so the Tao isn't owned by anyone It's owned by no one and everyone And it just enables You know tokens that are backed by the real-world basic needs infrastructures so It's it's just it just seems and just appears that there's a There's just the beautiful everything's beautiful everything's perfect everything's free everything's normal and ordinary and this thing everything is that and then as No one everything becomes Clear which it always is So as me unwinds and untangles its neuroses then dowing Decentralized autonomous organizationing Becomes more apparent in the appearance. It's another way to say it And I spoke of wrapping up and there's been a ramping up of the chat. Okay, and thanks for tuning in Appreciate the love and community It's always beautiful Yeah It was there that comment is What was just said that the an evolution or consciousness is a story and that when there's glimpses of unknowing of Nonlocality of no thing everything then there's all kinds of narratives That come up. Oh, there's levels. There's all kinds of levels and maps and there's all kinds of of things that need to be transformed and and Healed and all kinds of therapy and And again, this isn't saying Whatever arises if therapy is arising or healing is arising. It's just what's arising. It's just what is It's just that the The the healing or the therapy or whatever is arising isn't the cause of wholeness That's what's being shared Wholeness is always already and then it's appearing as a me that is on a journey of healing To become whole but it's hope that it's made of wholeness It's ridiculously funny Oh Yeah, basically shit apparently happens Yeah, and there's basically a pretending to be not nothing Not everything That's what me essentially is is pretending to not be nothing Pretending to not be everything Yes, it's so funny. It's so cute It's it's so and it's such a small stinky pond of me pretending To not be nothing. It's only true for The experience of me and it's absolutely Made of nothing so as soon as that apparently contracted me glimpses it being no thing everything in All of its neuroses and stories and seeking and Not being whole all of those things dissolve they disappear and it was clear that they never were The me never was the contraction never was The separation never was the lack never was The name identity location center point never was There was only no thing everything Emptiness is Zing How would y'all spell ising I s I and G is a bit too Simple in a way I like that spelling too But I like I Z Z I and G It's just been it's kind of like a more funny funky way to spell it is Zing I Z Z I and G is Zing Yeah Ising no, that's funny all the Z's there's like six Z's in there is Zing oh and without a G is in it's is in Infinite is In Yeah, because there's nowhere to go from isn't there's nowhere to go you can't get Somewhere from isn't Isn't it's just this it's just this There's nowhere to go from this from isn't there's nowhere to go from it and so it doesn't give any Lollipops to the seeker it doesn't give any Pathways for the me to expand or transform Is and Glad you're having fun Call it cute. Haha. Yes Let's say so myself So cute Yeah, that that calm voice Yeah, that's part of this apparent unwinding of me Is calm relaxation relief What was said earlier as like this refrigerator hum of become become earn worthiness Become whole become whole Get fulfillment that thing's gone So obviously, there's just this yay Yeah, there's little confetti emojis that's right The dance party of business the dance party business Dance party of business Dance party of Is The dance party of business The dance party of is The dance party of Is this yeah, yeah the dance party of is what what dance potty of is this you know it dance potty of is this yeah yeah dance potty of is this yeah dance potty of is this just simply appearance just simply appearance just simply appearance so easy just simply appearance what's appearing is this and this what's appearing is is this what's appearing is is isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't isn't unconditional love of is-ness the freedom freedom of is-ness yes yes wholeness of is-ness woo woo no thing of is-ness yeah yeah everything of is-ness yeah yeah woo woo all the cute emojis of hearts and confetti yeah so we'll we'll be jamming out more like that on these on these streams which I'm really excited for this this is definitely one of my my favorites the woodblock drum so first discovered in Borgaya in India at Mahabodhi where Buddha was enlightened there were monks from belief Southeast Asia I've said this on a previous episode but sat with them for some hours as they were chanting and drumming so if you're interested in like to be silly and spontaneous and playful and musical and this is a nice one because it's just that it's like that perfect you know it's got that great sound and cadence it's got you know it's got that it's really nice it's kind of I guess it's one way I guess it's so simple like it's not like some big like multi harmonic thing that has a whole bunch of equipment or whatever it's just something so simple as like a tiny like woodblock drum you know it says the simple and ordinariness of it in a way that's funny that not knowing what to ask yeah it's just what is you know it's what's apparently happening and that's just unknowing it's you know it's like the questioner the seeker of getting something isn't there and there's like this huge in a way relief into the wholeness that always is into the non-locality and simplicity that always is yeah there's another comment about yeah is and isn't yes what is and isn't neither real nor unreal not solid ungraspable it's like trying to grab air or a rainbow or water just can't do it and and there's no point to only me is undergoing that futile effort that was fun fun stream on wholeness wholeness with that capital H for whole and the zero and one for the no thing every thing for that zero warning that is in okay well that's all for now thanks for tuning in cutie pies sweethearts sugar plums and thanks for the fun interaction in the chat and we'll be back on with another stream soon okay bye bye see you ready thank you


Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to recover data from Proxmox Virtual Environment Hypervisor, how to install Proxmox VE, create and configure Virtual Machine, how to take a snapshot and roll back the operating system. Proxmox VE is an open-source hypervisor for enterprise virtualization. This virtualization tool is based on Debian GNU Linux and modified Ubuntu kernel is used to run virtual machines on the server. Virtual machines can be deployed and managed with a command prompt and web console, thus providing a simple and quick access. For status, let's find out how to install Proxmox VE onto our server. The first step is to download an ISO image of Proxmox and create a bootable USB drive. To do it, go to the official Proxmox Downloads page. Here, select Proxmox VE Virtual Environment, ISO Images and download the latest version of the hypervisor by clicking the Download button. When it's ready, start a utility to create a bootable drive, for example, Rufus or Etcher. Now that our USB drive is ready, connect it to the server and boot from it, after you have selected the proper boot device. When it boots, the Proxmox VE menu appears. For standard configuration, select the option Install Proxmox VE. Select the license agreement and select the disk where to install it. For advanced settings, open options. This is where you can modify such things as file system, disk size and so on. After that, set the country, time zone and keyboard layout. Then set the administrator's password and type it again to confirm. Give an email address for system notifications. And the last step is to configure the network. Select the management interface, host name for the server, an available IP address, the main gateway and the DNS server. The installer will display all the parameters you have chosen. When you think everything is okay, click the Install button. When the installation is over, eject the USB drive and reboot the system. In the end, you will see Proxmox drop menu. Select Proxmox GNU Linux Virtual Environment from the list and press Enter. You will see Proxmox VE Welcome Screen. It includes IP address of the server where you can connect from the client machine through the management web interface. Enter this IP address in any browser that you prefer. You will see a warning that this page is not safe. It appears because Proxmox VE uses self-signed SSL certificates. Click Advanced, Proceed to. Now you need to enter administrator's login and password to access the management interface. Now that you have access to the service management interface, a virtual machine can be created. To install the operating system for this virtual machine, you will need a corresponding ISO image. Then you have to upload it to the Proxmox server. Go to Host, local host, jump to the tab ISO images, click Upload, select File, give the path to the ISO image, upload. When it's uploaded, you can start creating a virtual machine. On the right, click Create VM and jump to the OS tab. Select the operating system type and version, click on the field ISO image and choose the required ISO file from the list. I will leave the system and disk parameters at their default values. Let's add more CPU cores and virtual memory. As to the network settings, I'm not going to change them too. Jump to the tab Confirm to check all the settings and then click Finish. With that, the machine will appear on this list. Select it, open the console and run the machine by clicking Start Now. The virtual machine will start and the installation of the operating system will begin. The process looks absolutely the same as if you were installing Windows to a physical computer. With Proxmox VESnapshots, you'll be able to save the current state of your virtual machine. A snapshot includes its memory contents, its settings and the state of all of its virtual disks. When you revert the virtual machine to a snapshot, it will restore the memory, virtual disks and all settings of this machine to the state in which it was at the time when the snapshot was taken. Snapshots turn out to be an excellent method to save the current state of a virtual machine. It's much quicker than running a full backup operation, as it doesn't copy all the data. As a matter of fact, a snapshot is not a backup feature and it doesn't backup your data in detail, but this is something you can use in intervals between your full backup copies. To get a snapshot, click on the tab Snapshots – Take Snapshot. In the window that opens, type a name and click Take Snapshot. When it's ready, you will see that the line tasks OK, and the snapshot you have just taken will appear in the Snapshots tab. If there is an error while you were taking a snapshot or creating a backup copy and the virtual machine gets blocked, you will see this message saying VM is locked. To unlock the machine, run this command on the server. At the end of the command, the virtual machine ID is given. After that, you can start the virtual machine or remove it, delete a snapshot, and so on. To revert to a snapshot, select the required virtual machine and go to the tab Snapshots. Click Rollback here. And when you see the notification saying that the current state of a virtual machine will be lost, click Yes to confirm. As you do that, the machine will be reverted to the state it was in at that time when the snapshot was taken. In addition to Snapshots, Proxmox has pretty good integrated tools to backup its virtual machines. It lets you save all virtual machine data easily. It supports three compression mechanisms and three methods of creating backup copies. LZO is the fast method, GZIP is maximal compression, and ZSTD is lossless data compression. Also, there are three backup modes – Snapshot – creating a backup copy without stopping the virtual machine. The virtual machine is paused for some time until the backup operation is complete. And stop. The virtual machine is stopped completely until the backup operation is over. This method is the most reliable. To create a backup copy, select the required virtual machine, choose Backup, and then click Backup Now. You will see a window where you can select options for your backup. When you have chosen all the settings, click Backup and wait until it is complete. When it's ready, you will see the line Task OK. If something is deleted accidentally, you'll be able to restore it from a backup. To do it, select a backup copy, you can easily distinguish backups by their dates, and click Restore. Specify the Storage option and click the Restore button. When there is a warning that the current virtual machine data will be erased, select Yes to confirm. When it's finished, you will see the line Task OK below. If you don't have a backup, if you fail to recover the machine from the available backup, if the virtual machine refuses to boot or displays an error that can't be fixed, or if there is a server error, in any of these cases, you can safely use Hetman Partition Recovery to bring your data back. This program supports recovery from virtual disks of various hyperwisers including Proxmox.be. By default, Proxmox.be uses LVM storage for its virtual machines. This storage method has quite a lot of advantages if compared with VHD files, but it may also create additional difficulties for the recovery process. However, our program supports all popular file system formats and it can help you restore data from the majority of popular hyperwisers after deleting data of formatting the storage, and after hardware or software errors. Take the disks out of the server and connect them to a Windows computer. On the physical disk containing virtual machine files is connected to the computer, Hetman Partition Recovery will display all the virtual machine disks, snapshot files and backups. Use the virtual machine ID to understand which disk belongs to each virtual machine. Right-click on the disk and choose Open. Select the scan type, for example Fast Scan, will quickly search the disk and display the results. If the program fails to find the files you need, run full analysis. To do it, right-click on the disk, analyze again, specify the file system type and click Next. In the most complicated cases, you can search files by signatures. You can do it by checking the box next to Content Aware Analysis. In my case, Fast Scan will suffice. Look for the folder where required information used to be stored, select the files that you need to recover and hit the Recovery button. Choose the path for saving the files and click Recovery again. You will find the recovered files in the folder that you have chosen. You can see that the program has no difficulty in finding the files that used to be stored on the virtual disk. For your convenience, there is an option to search for files but their names. And you can also check the file contents in the Preview window. Summing up, you have just seen the typical backup and recovery methods for virtual machines. Using them, you can save all your data and quickly recover it if something goes wrong and do it without much effort. However, you should always remember that backup and recovery operations put a heavy load on the disk system. That is why all such operations should be performed when your computer is not doing any other resource-intensive activities. This way, you can avoid lags and delays when input-output operations are carried out inside the virtual machine and reduce the disk load, which helps your machine to work better and longer.

The Director General of Budget Office of the Federation, Professor Ben Akabuese, says Nigeria's development is affected by weak public institutions and low budget provisions. Professor Akabuese spoke via Zoom at an Economic Alternative Summit in Akure, the Ondo State Capital. Akabuese said Nigeria's budget is one of the lowest in the world due to shortage of revenue. He said it is wrong for Nigerians to say the federal government is not doing anything to address the economic challenges. Another speaker, Professor Patu, told me advice the government to create more jobs for teaming on employed youth in the country. There was a time in the past when Nigeria was a major exporter of agricultural products, but today we've become a net importer of food. And then we have the problem of weak public institutions and competent lake officials. And I have to put this ahead of corruption. Well, one of the things that happened with the policy choices that we made during the so-called oil boom was essentially that we created a debt overhang. We are supposed to be accountable in all situations, not just in financial situations alone, but in all situations of life. So this seminar has really opened the mind of everyone to see the different areas in which we are lacking and to begin to feel the loopholes that are causing the kind of dysfunctional system.


Hi. It's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today I'll be channeling Freddie Mercury in the afterlife, but before I get into that, I have to share a little story. You consistently, consistently will ask me in your comments on the videos if it's possible for you to connect with spirit in the afterlife for yourself. And the resounding answer is yes. Yes, of course you can connect. You are a spirit living in a body just like me. You have the ability to connect. Now the easiest way to do that is through some things that are familiar to you and the spirit. So for example, you want to connect with someone in the afterlife that you think is so cool, has so much wisdom that you could channel in to get some advice for your own life or inspiration for your own life purpose. Those are great reasons to connect with the afterlife, and you can do that. But a way that you could do that would be, for example, if it's a musician through music, play their music, or be aware, be aware and recognize that when that song from that particular artist that you had before asked to be able to connect, asked for guidance or information, even if you subtly asked, the music that you get when you just turn on the radio, or you turn on whatever musical device you're listening to, whether it be your phone or your computer, and all of a sudden a playlist pops up, you're at the gym and this song comes on by this particular artist. Just know that those subtle things are connectors. Those are connectors. That could be a response to a request for you to connect, or if you listen to the lyrics or the information given by the song, it might actually quite be a literal message for you. So with musicians, music, great way to connect with historic people or historic figures. You could read a book or a blog or an article about that particular person and that could just open up a channel for communication and connection. It's like picking up the phone. You're generating an interest and a curiosity and learning more about that person. So you can then have access to them if you choose to want to channel with them. Now the other thing would be also for actors or actresses. You could access them quite easily through, of course, a book, a blog, a blog or their movies, their awesome movies. So you see there's all these sensory ways that you can connect with spirit in the afterlife. If you're talking about a family member like your grandpa or a dear friend, you can connect with them by thinking about them and looking at photos of them and maybe holding something or wearing something that they gave to you. Now the connection might not happen right there in that instant, but you just have to be open. Be aware because that energy opens up a connection that may show up later in your day or in your week, for example. So be open about the timing of when you get response to your connection. So I wanted to share that. So this is what happened for me today. I love watching daily vloggers and some of you who watch me on my live streams, you know that. I got a favorite, a very favorite vlogger. He has no idea who I am, but I know well who he is. His name is, his channel name is Days, D-A-Z-E with Jordan the Lion. Days with Jordan the Lion. And the reason why I enjoy his work so much is because he's authentic and I feel his spirit is very genuine. And he's fun and interesting to watch. He's like a regular guy and you get to know him probably very much like how you feel about me as the viewers. I feel like that about Jordan. So if you like daily vlogging, go ahead and check him out. He does travel stuff. He does historic sites, interesting people, musicians, actors, actresses, all sorts of unique things. Again also travel vlogs. Today Jordan happens to be over in the UK. Hello to my UK viewers. You guys know I love you. I just love you so much. I can't wait to come there someday myself. He is over in London. And so today's vlog was in London. It was the second one that he did. So he was there yesterday. So I was so excited to see another London vlog. Well, guess what he vlogged today? Uh-huh. Yeah, Freddie Mercury re-related. That was the Garden Lodge. Okay. I'm going to make a mention here too, you guys. I'm going to have to wear, I'm trying not to wear my sunglasses, but I'm going to have to. It's just way too bright out here today. It's super hot outside. If you notice the background is different as well. That's because I'm in the front of my house. Now we live in a beautiful kind of farming area with kind of hills and trees as you've seen when I've been on my back deck doing channeling videos for you. But today it's a Sunday and apparently the farmers not too far away from us are doing stuff in their field. So I don't know if they're fertilizing or de-weeding or what, but it's kind of loud back there. So I'm up here in the front of the house so you get a little bit different perspective and still have the greenery that you guys love so much, but it's really bright here. So I got to try. I'm going to keep these on and protect my eyes a bit. So okay, you guys. And I'm trying, I'm going to try not to just be all sweaty, melty away here while I'm chatting with it because it's real humid here in Minnesota today. All right, let's get started on the Freddie Mercury channel. So when I watched a vlog today with Jordan in London where he was basically at Garden Launch, I mean I felt the disappointment, you know, because we all know that all there is there is just a wall, big old wall, brick wall. And this time when he visited, I saw there's a brick wall, but there's there's like no mementos. There's no flowers, there's no candles, there's nothing except for a big plexiglass, piece of huge clear plexiglass over the door of the Garden Launch. Big plexiglass right over the door. I know that that's not the entrance really, but plexiglass right over the door. Not very welcoming, right? I mean granted the wall is not that welcoming either, but plexiglass and there were some people that had left some notes, you know, some thank you notes and that kind of a thing in there. Not very many though. And then I saw on the vlog this razor wire, like you know the stuff that they kind of use in prisons and things or in neighborhoods that are really like super sketchy maybe, I don't know. At least in the US, I don't know, maybe I don't know. I haven't even seen that before actually. Usually it's places where they want to keep people out of that are public, that are places where people could hurt themselves, you know, like a public dam or something, but there's like razor wire right at the Garden Garden Lodge right above the brick wall. I'm like, oh my gosh, I wonder if people have gotten really crazy and tried to like break in or something. I don't know, you know, sometimes some people can kind of wreck it for the rest of us, you know, just a few, but I was shocked to see that and that was kind of it pretty much disappointed. And then I kind of tried to go about my day, you know, reset.  I'll just watch one and then move along.  I talk about like I know him. I don't really know him. He doesn't know me either. I'm like, hey, Jordan was in London today. I said, he went to the garden lodge, but it was so sad, you know, I felt so kind of sad, like disappointed for him, you know. I'm sure he probably knew what to expect when he was going, but to video it and film it and share it and then be like, sorry guys, it's all I can share with for you, kind of knowing that it's going to maybe stir some people up, you know, get up with people a little like, what, you know, about Freddie and people will be confused, you know. Why is that? Why isn't it, you know, his legacy being honored?  And he didn't say any of that, but that's what I felt. I felt all that from the people. Probably that will be viewing his video. And so I was chatting with my husband about and then all of a sudden, instantly, I hear Freddie hear him in my, in my, like, psychic sense of clear audience, which is the gift of hearing, right? I hear him say something like, oh, how did he say it? This has got to stop. He says, I never wanted my death to be, wanted there to be some glorification of my death. And he specifically said, like, glorification of my death, my death. He said, it's such a morbid fascination, really. Why are people so fascinated by death? Well, we've got to talk about this. He said, we've got to clear this up. He said, you know, when, when John Lennon died, that whole place was practically made into a crypt. I mean, how depressing, really, how, how incredibly depressing life must go on. For the people who are left behind, it's really not fair to them. They don't have to, they're not the ones that chose the legacy. That was for me. That was my life. And when my life ended, the, the legacy of my music would live on. But is that for Mary to have to bear the burden of that? I don't think so. I don't think that's fair. I don't think that's fair to judge her or to, to pressure her into any kind of public response or responsiveness to, to the needs of the fans. Now, yes, and he says, now, yes, it's true that I, I loved my fans. I loved you all.  But you must now understand that the time has come to allow for some gentleness, some peacefulness in your own hearts, because that is what you seek.  The way to do that is to connect with me through the music and to understand that clinging to human things, possessions of mine, or items of mine that may have since been sold or auctioned, that there is no need for you, you must understand that you do not have to have the material possession in order to feel me. And this is why, this is why I asked Bridget to, to talk about that, that we needed, I said, I actually said to her and she thought I was joking. She could not believe, she thought, are you serious, my friend? She said to me, as she was making lunch, and I, I have to say, I, I do have to apologize for that. I have to apologize for, for being so, so mischievous. I'm going to say, Freddie, demanding and diva-like that I pay attention to you. Oh, you know, I was only playing. You know, I was only playing. I was only playing. I was only being playful. I knew that you weren't ready and it was okay. It was all right. I was okay. In fact, I said, I said, I said, I will just sit over here in the corner until you're ready for me. I'm like, yeah, like you can, like, like you guys can feel Freddie Mercury's energy and not respond to it. Really? Right. Not, yeah, right. So I did do a vlog while I was actually making a pasta salad because a pasta salad is a multi-step process. And so it doesn't take five minutes. It takes like 25 minutes. And so he had to wait for a bit. So I grabbed my phone and I did a little vlog at my other channel, which is mostly, I do some blogging basically there. And it's Fairy Grasshopper. If you're interested in checking that out, Fairy Grasshopper on YouTube. And so I blogged it. I captured some of that. Just, I was just describing what had been going on and he didn't pop into the vlog. He didn't, I don't think he did it anyway. I don't think he said anything specific in the blog, but it was just a short one. I just wanted to capture what was happening because I was so like, really, Freddie? Really? I had plans to work today. I was going to channel some other beautiful people. And because when the weather is gorgeous, I love to channel and try to be outside as much as I can here in Minnesota. And then all of a sudden, Freddie's here. And I had just, I have just recorded recently, I don't know if I recorded a video or if I talked about it on a live stream where I said, it's not like he comes and bothers me or that people that want, or afterlife spirit. So former people don't come to me and be like, Hey, Bridget, I need you to talk to me. That's not usually how it happens. I don't want to like perpetuate that. Like it's like kind of an assumption that, Oh, like they come and talk to me just because it's me or something. That's not, that's not the reality that happens sometimes, but not in the way you think. So with Freddie, the reason why I was able to connect is the same way that you could connect with anybody that you like in the afterlife that you know could give you mentoring advice or guidance or just support and love and healing energy for yourself. If that's what you need, you can connect with musicians by playing their music. You can connect with actors and actresses, Hollywood types by watching their movies or TV shows. You can connect with famous people by reading their books or articles or blogs about them. And just like I did, I was open to connect because I had watched the vlog and listened to it. And so I felt like I had been there connected because of a vlogger sharing that. See how important sharing, being inspired to share and sharing things with other people is like on platforms like YouTube or on social media, especially when it's inspiring. I mean, see how important that is? It's beautiful. That's beautiful. So Freddie, we do have to talk, and I'm okay with talking about death as a death thing. That's what he said. He said we have to talk about this death thing for people. We have to talk about this death thing. So let's talk Freddie. Let's talk about death. Let's talk about it. Tell the viewers what is the deal? Why is death so important? He says it's not. It's simply a passage of time. It's a passage of time. It's an acknowledgement that you're not a human anymore, that you do not have a tie to the life you once had. It's not better than life. That is something that you guys, you've got to really understand that. You've really, really got to understand that. Death is not better than life. That is a beautiful, brilliant statement. Put that on a bumper sticker. Death is not better than life. But here's the thing, everybody. This is Bridget sharing this. We are all spirit. I'm spirit. Your spirit. Freddie's spirit. David Bowie's spirit. Marilyn Monroe's spirit. All of these afterlife. Your grandma or whoever is in heaven in the afterlife for you, friends, pets, everybody, their spirit. Your spirit, their spirit, that's that means you can connect. It's just like I have a cell phone. You have a cell phone. We can connect. Just got to get the right number. Just got to get the right energy vibe. Just got to get the right connection without resistance. Your own mind is what makes you resist because you can't believe it. You just can't believe it's possible. We'll just be creative for a moment and pretend it's possible. Just pretend. Don't change your entire value structure and system. Just pretend it's possible and then see what can happen. See what can happen. All right. So spirit, that's all you need. That's what you need to connect. All right. That's what connects us all. So Freddie, keep going. He says, oh, you're doing very well, Bridget. You're doing very well. Very well. He says very well, Bridget. Very well done. Well done. Well done. I'm like, okay. All right.  It's like a big production. Let's make a big production of this. He's saying he's being funny. He's being funny. When I see spirit clairvoyantly, it can be very symbolic with what they're wearing. It's not literal people. Any kind of psychic connection or channeling or anything like that, that is spiritually related is never literal. So stop needing that because if you need that, you're never going to be able to enjoy the energy connection of spirit. So he's dressed like this not because that's what he, how he dresses all the time in the afterlife. He's dressed like this because I see clairvoyantly see him as a spirit and he thinks it's funny. Like he uses, he utilizes as do other spirits when I connect with them costume or presentation or color so that I can explain to you what the energy feels like and what their message is. It brings more levity or energy strength to the message. Okay. So this is important. This is a performance. We have got to talk about death. Let's do a death march. Let's do a death march. Let's do a death march together. That's a Freddie Mercury, not Bridget.  And I see you move too. We were over here at one point. Now you're like right here. And now you're, you know, okay, step back a little bit. All right. It is very hot out here, you guys. Whoa. And I have to keep these. I can't even keep my eyes open. It's so bright out. Beautifully, beautifully bright. All right. He says it's those Broadway lights, right? The big show lights, the performance lights of the stage. Yeah. Okay. All right. Whatever. All right. So get on with it then. What's the big deal about death? Exactly. What is it? It is a moment of time and time is warped by the mind. The mind creates time. The body dies. Yes. Yes, the body dies. It does. But you have a spirit, and that's what connects us all, is spirit.  That inspires your imagination. It encourages the artist to paint the musician to create and the actor to act. It's in you. It's in each of you.  It lives forever. Truly your spirit lives forever. So if you want to live forever, that's me. I added that. That was funny. If you want to live forever. So Freddie, if we want to live forever, what should we do? What's your advice? Oh, they're coming with it now. They're coming to share with us some big, important message. He says, this is not all there is. This is not all there is. This is not all there is. What you know of your life is not all there is. This is why you hear messages of humanity encouraging you to be better, be a better human. No, no, no. That's not the message. Keep going. I'm sorry. I'm feeling the need to connect it into the human realm, and you're above still in the spirit. I'm sorry. Start again. Take five. Death is a point in time. It is a point, a moment. It is not the whole show. It is one song on an album. It is one moment in an entire lifetime. And Freddie, but Freddie, here's the deal. We're human. So we're sad. People that love you and have discovered your music, rediscovered your music, or for the first time we're listening to Queen music, how beautiful. And the reason that's happening is because of things like the movie Bohemian Rhapsody that came out, the bio, the biopics about your life, the articles now and the vlogs now and the, the airplay now of the music, it's being rediscovered. And that's happening because of your legacy, because of your death. He says, I died quite some time ago. I died quite some time ago. I never wanted to be a statue, a statue of a man stuck in one place. This is why there's not a particular marker that's public or a mark of my life to come into honor, because it's not about honoring my life. It is about honoring yours, honoring the whole wholeness of what life is and has to offer you.  And that's the point. It's not about death. Death does not give you the freedom. You already have it. You see, you already have it. And honoring me, although you may feel there is a need for closure for yourself, there's so many ways you can do that. You don't have to visit a particular place or have a particular experience. And I understand, I understand Bridget would say, I understand, he's saying, I understand Bridget would say that, but as humans sometimes we need that tangible thing to touch. We need that evidence that you actually lived because you feel so larger than life. Yes, that's what Bridget would say. Yes, because that's what Bridget is saying.  He says, it's not, it's not who I am as a spirit. But the two are not connected, don't you see? The two are not related. That's the past in your human confines of time. It's the past. It's not the present. The present allows you to access me by buying an album, holding a picture. You can light a candle. It's about feeling the energy and the emotion of the legacy. If that is indeed what you want, that's how you do it. You don't have to travel great distances or see a patch of dirt on the earth with my name upon it to know that I lived. Do you, do you need that to know that I've lived? And perhaps the most important question here is how have you lived? How will you live now? How will you live now?   This is, this may be difficult to believe this concept, but you chose your life. You chose a life to live it. It really is. It's really, it really is not about me. It's about you. It is about you. It is about each and every one of you. So what advice would you give to those who are grieving, who miss you terribly, who feel the loss? It's just an illusion really. It's just an illusion. It's just an illusion, an illusion of separation. If you perceive us as separate, then you will feel a distance. But, but you don't have to do that. You can choose something different, something to connect us. There are so many ways you can connect with me and energy. That's the word I chose, Bridget chose. I just chose energy. There's so many, he says there's so many ways you can connect with me.   All right, my dear friend. Oh, such a pleasure to connect with Freddie Mercury in the afterlife. Always, always a pleasure. Thank you so much for being here. I appreciate it. And thank you as the viewer here at Above Life channel. Remember, the purpose here is to inspire your spirit to fill you with hope. Because after all, if you've listened to anything in this particular video, you know that you are here given a life so that you will live it. This is your life. It's your life. Live it. Just live it. Thank you so much for watching.


So time to look forward now to the big championship encounter this weekend. It is of course live on Highland, Donegal against Derriott, McCool Park in Ballet Buffet. Championship quarter final, Declan Bonner, Donegal manager joins us now. Good to see you again Declan. Yeah likewise Oshin. Well first question is relation to the injured party and obviously your captain Michael Murphy. What's the latest on him Declan? Will he be available for this weekend and is he training at the moment? Yeah back on the pitch and we're very very hopeful that he's going to be available. Yeah and the other guys have all come back in the last week, 10 days also. So this is a full deck to pick from the weekend which is great. A number of weeks back we had a number of guys struggling with injuries but you know the medical team with Cahill and the team doctors have done a great job now and yeah we're looking forward to the matches weekend and to see looking like a full strength squad to pick from. Yeah obviously in relation to Michael Murphy it's a huge worry for you Declan. I'm sure it was when you said him looking to come off before halftime in the down game. Yeah listen it's yeah it is no doubt being you know there's been a huge number of those type of injuries not just within Donegal camp but within a lot of the teams right around the country you know with the games coming very very very quick short running period when we go back on the pitch to put into a nice league campaign so it brought his own difficulties but you know over the period as I said the medical team is not a great way to work in this any period of stroke of injury you're always concerned but you know yeah Michael Murphy is such an important part of the whole group that you're always wanting to see him back on the pitch. Yeah maybe was there too much med in relation to Michael's injury and Park asked her because some quarters had thought that he shouldn't have been played if he will still carry in the knock from when he picked it up on Ishti against Mayo. Was there maybe too much being made of it do you think Declan? Given the fact that it was Michael they were talking about obviously. Yeah listen I mean it's you know the media and people you know they're entitled to their opinions but we and no more than any other players carrying an injury or she and not just Michael Murphy but you have to go through the protocol you have to go through a series of testing you have to be back on the pitch so that's not a case of that Michael's you know the chances are going to break down we risk them that's not going to be the case the medical team will come to us and say he's here to go we set the players at the play some part and we're advised by the medical team and we may get a decision around that but it's the same for any player who's come back from injury not just Michael Murphy. Yeah so Orton McNeill is okay as well back training and looking good for the weekend? Yeah listen Orton's been back on the pitch yeah over the last 10 days now and yeah it's been a little bit sharp and Oshun Yellen back on the pitch started off with so the guys are all back Andy McLean just got back there also so yeah no listen it's good it's good to get all those guys back and yeah the squad's looking fairly healthy at this stage. Yeah it's good to have it at the stage of the competition Declan so it is because the way Gillik football has been played over the last decade or so it's it's vitally important that it's a squad game like. Yeah there's no doubt and in the centre of the squad has been tested we used 30 players throughout the National League campaign and yeah it's important that we got those guys up to speed we're always knew there's going to be injuries we're no different than any other squad but once that game finished in the Nury it was all systems go getting ready for the challenge Oshun which we know this Sunday it's going to be a huge huge challenge for us but you know it's one good opportunity. Yeah so what do you make of Derry then Declan and I'm sure you've been knuckling down and doing the homework on them since you left Park Gasler nearly two weeks ago now? Yeah listen you know we give Derry the same respect as we would give a Dublin or a Kerry or anyone else we get the work done in terms of their games played they've been very very impressed and there's no doubt about that there you know they ran through division three and you know they're back playing division two football and to me like they're a top 10 team there's no doubt about that there a lot of really really good players and they're supposed to be luck at their on-the-race system once over the not over the years their colleagues system their club system I mean it's always been top class but you know they've got they've got their house in order and listen to the seniors now at the minute and they're formidable side there's no doubt about that there. Defensively will you have to be on on your game at the weekend because we've seen what they can do up top and particularly when they've got somebody like like Shane McGuigan and involved in their front three as well Declan the pose of serious threat up top and going forward? Yeah listen you know you come up against any of the top teams now they're always going to have that attack and threat and you know Derry are no different there are a number of really really top class players like Stenny Hearn the likes of Bradley, McGuigan, Nile Lopkins a little number of really really top class players going forward and yeah we've got to be on our guard and as I say there's two sides to every game and you know what you're defending and then there's your offensive play so we've got to get both sides right on Sunday if we're going to get over the line and listen to us you we're just looking at if we can get over the line because that's where a point or whatever next Sunday evening to get into the semi-final that's that's all we're looking for. Yeah if you were looking for improvements from the down game Declan because we can't really look a while on to that because as we hit the mark the halfway stage in the game it was really overdone and dusted at that stage but if you're looking for improvements to tweak things what sort of areas would you be would you be focusing in from another point of view Declan? Yeah listen people love it you know we probably like score but you know there's a lot of things we need to get we need to get better on there's no doubt about that there you know we touched on you know without the ball we've got to be better we've got to be a much tighter unit and you know at the minute we play good to go to tag and football and but it's getting that balance right actually in between the between the fans and the tag and yeah we've been working towards it not just in the last number of weeks over the last couple of years and you know you've seen through it a nice league campaign where there's an awful big score being shut up and a lot of teams are really working hard on their offensive play but there's always that balance to get that right and and you know it's always working working progress and every night we work on it and every game we go we want to improve on it and again next time there's going to be no difference and we're going to have to get both ends right we've got that hat well on Sunday actually and we've got to defend well if we're going to get over the line. Yeah I was speaking to Rory Geller earlier in the week at Declan and I sort of said to him that he probably might be best positioned of all the opposition to maybe mastermind upset at the weekend given the fact that he had such a big link with Donagall in the past from your point of view given the fact that that Derya are going to present a formidable opposition come into Balib afaid do you have to alter your approach much? No not really as I said before Oshin we give the opposition the respect to this area I mean Derya is a good side there's no doubt about that there's no get away from that there and as I say they are really really good offensively but also defensively they're well set up and they'll be difficult to break down so listen we have been working on on on that but the fact that Rory's there you know to us of that you know we're trading into him over the years when he was in charge for Manah also so listen to me it's another match it's a it's what it's going to be a really it's going to be a tight battle there's no doubt about that there because I say Derya are a really good side they're in there in that top bracket within Ulster now and so it's going to be a really test for us a real challenging test we need to be ready for in Sunday. Yeah okay listen Declan thanks for talking to us in the best of luck this week and your next championship item. Okay listen Arsha thank you
