In Conversation with the Mystic is a series that's rapidly gained momentum and popularity ever since its inception a few years ago. The focus this evening, as we all know, is of life and love. Love of course being that dodgy four letter word that seems to give many a reason to live and sometimes gives them a reason to die.  And so we have our two speakers this evening who will be exploring these words, unpacking them, demystifying them. We have the magic of the movies and we have the profound realm of the spiritual. Where does that magical meet the mystical, we'll find out. Good evening everyone. Good evening everyone. Nobody's saying anything. No, they're all here but they're very silent, they're all waiting for it all to begin and let me tell you, I have to confess, as I came on, before this I was quite relaxed but as I've come onto the stage my heart is beating really fast. So while Guruji was praying, I was saying to myself, I must be relaxed. This is the time. When I'm with my Guru, I must be relaxed, this is it. So yes, I will calmly begin by thanking you, Sadhguruji, for giving me this opportunity to be in conversation with you, Isha Foundation. Thank you very much. I thought when we were talking about of love and life, heart beating is a good thing. Oh! Okay, yes it is a good thing. It shows I'm alive and in love and about to begin this conversation. And Sadhguruji, I want to say I have attended your Inner Engineering program, I have seen some DVDs, I've read your books and everywhere there are your brilliant views. On various issues, it could be from the making of a nation, to the making of a toy car, from the running of a household to the running of parliament. You have brilliant views on every issue that one can ever question, yet I know very little about you and it, you know, he has a brilliant mind with an, for lack of better words I'd say out of the box thinking, so different, so refreshing, so enlightening. I'm fascinated and I want to know about your life and I'd like to know that were you just born brilliant? Did it begin from that very moment?  I'm from the movies and I can't help thinking, was it like it is in story books that a venerable sage came to your home and when he looked at your mother he said, there is going to be born a guru, rejoice. He will lighten his own path and that of other. You also going like this? No, but was it like that or how was it, how was your childhood? I don't think they all came to listen to my mother's labor pains. No, I'm really fascinated, intrigued that we're all here, but you know the way you think, we wait to hear what you have to say. We've all been little children and we've all grown up but we've grown up and been educated in schools and but I find our way of thinking our way of being very conditioned like almost systematized whereas so where did it all begin? I think you're looking for something unnatural that happened there. One thing that could be considered unnatural was it seems I was a very delayed birth. My mother went to the hospital three times and came back and she gave up that he's not coming and when it actually happened it happened at home. My father being a physician that was not possible, she had to be in the hospital. Three times he went and three times it didn't happen, they did everything possible when she gave up, so it happened at home. So that's the only reasonably unnatural thing, everything else was natural birth.  So what is Sam and the question that you're asking is do people grow up and blossom or are they brought up by somebody? You will see the general expression is I was brought up in this place, I was brought up in that way, especially in the West you will see I was brought up Christian, I was brought up Jewish, these are very common words.   You don't bring up a human being, a human being is supposed to blossom by his own nature. That is why he's on the top of the pile at least on this planet in the evolutionary scale and most human beings don't seem to understand that or they're not allowed to understand that by a whole lot of people and they need to be brought up. Bringing up means somebody is molding you. Molding means it's a predetermined shape. No flower that blossoms is the same way as another one which blossoms yesterday. But a mold means it's always going to be the same if you make a mold. The idea of making a mold is that we want to have the same form again and again and again. Right now, generally that seems to be the work, unfortunately, of the current education system, the so-called religions that are operating in the world and of course the family. They want you to be in a certain mold. They don't want you to blossom like a wildflower because they're afraid of anything fresh happening among them. They want something that is familiar. They don't want something unfamiliar to be brought among them. So if you have succumbed to that system, then yes, you've been molded into certain form. If you allow your humanity to blossom, then you will see you don't belong to any mold. This is the beauty of being human that there is no particular way to be. If you were a dog, you would be one way. If you were cattle, you would be one way. If you were a sheep, you would be another way. If you were a bird, you would be another way, a grasshopper another way. But to be human means there is no particular way. What is human is not defined, not described. It is… it is just that for every other creature on this planet, nature drew two lines. Within that, they have to play their game. For a human being, only the bottom line is drawn, there is no top line. But socially, people are trying to draw a top line for themselves. But nature has not drawn a top line for you, it's a limitless possibility.  They don't need to be. They're trying to be like somebody else. Only bottom line is set, top line has been removed. This is evolution. But wait, we still didn't quite get to… So how was it when you were a child, were you… were you put into a school to go the systematic way and didn't keep up with it? Do I look that educated? Don't insult me like that. Actually, you know, when I go and stand in the line, in the immigration lines in particularly in America, they look at me and say, can you speak English? Because I have that uneducated look, it's not easy. Do you know? Do you know what it takes to remain uneducated? Education is just twenty years of going somewhere and getting one certificate. To remain uneducated, it's very difficult.  Did you also like… we all went through these confused teenage years of not really knowing where we're going. I mean, did you clearly know your path? Not at all. I was… right from three or four years of age, I was always a million questions hanging in… in my head. I have a question about everything. Everything to everything. Questions means very fundamental questions about existence itself, my own existence. So when I was three, four years of age, suddenly I realized I know nothing. No nothing means somebody gives me a glass of water, I do not know what is water. I know how to use it. I know if I drink it, it will quench my thirst and so many other ways of using it. But I do not know what is water. I'm saying even today you do not know what is water. So only thing available in all three states on the planet, three… two-thirds of the planet is water, two-thirds of your body is water. If we think life, we think water. But do you know what it is? With all the scientific exploration, we do not even know a single atom in its entirety. Today our idea of science is learning how to use everything. Yes, we know how to use an atom, we know how to break it, we know how to fuse it, but we really do not know what it is. Any one thing, tiniest thing in the creation, we do not know in its entirety this is the fact of life. Well, even something simple as what you started with saying that looking at water, I mean straight away I was taught water, H2O and what it can do and you can mix it with colors and it becomes that, you can drink it and it quenches your thirst. But I never looked at it and said, you know, I don't really know what is water. Because nobody looks at anything. See, everybody is looking like this. Nobody has any attention for a piece of life here. They are like this. If you pay attention to one life, one blade of grass, one grasshopper, one human being, something else will happen. That's why we said life and love because if you pay attention to one human being, some love will happen within you, okay? If you miss life, at least some emotion in that direction must happen to you. That will happen only if you pay attention to one. If you're looking at like this, these days it's become a fashion because you're in love on Facebook, you love the whole humanity. To love one human being, if you want to love one human being, it costs life. To love the whole humanity doesn't cost anything. It's even better to love God because it's always easy to love somebody who is not here run. It's so easy.  You know how difficult it is to love someone who is next to you right now? How easy it is to love someone who is dead or who is in heaven. Isn't it so? Let's face it. Because if you have to love one, one thing is you have to pay attention. Without attention it will not happen. And above all, you have to give up something that is you to accommodate another. Otherwise it will not happen. The English expression is very good. You must fall in love. You cannot rise in love. You cannot stand in love. You cannot fly in love. You have to fall. Something of you should fall. Otherwise it will not work. You will not know it.  Everything is information. Nothing is a living experience. Everything is from the textbook or from the cinema or from the internet. Nothing is from life's experience. We're doing more and more today of that. Sir, Guruji, you just mentioned love and today it is about life and love. And I would like to know, for us it is maybe love, your family members, whoever it could be. Why I ask you this is because there's so many versions of this and I really want to get to it. Some teachers, some gurus, some guides will say, you know, you can love but you must be detached. You must love but it cannot be conditional. It should be unconditional. And so there's versions of it. I just want to know. See, the simple way of make you keep coming back to me is to give you something that you cannot do. To give you a teaching which you can never do. You must love, but you must be detached. Now you have to keep coming back to me for consultation. Endlessly. Sorry.  Something will happen.  Not just anything, whether it's your work or your life or your love or whatever, if you do not know how to throw your entire self into it, you will never know the taste of what it is. Love but be detached. Why do you want to love then?  That's why you love. No, I love but I am detached. This means you have to come back to consultation every day. It's like a psychiatrist's job. Every day you have to come and sit on the couch. You need treatment and there is a fee. So what… Okay, all right. So you can love and be attached. No, I didn't say that. Okay, I'm coming back for consultation please. So what did you say? I only said, see what is this need for love in a human being? You must understand, a human being constantly, constantly, a human being is longing to be something more than what they are right now. If this finds a simple basic physical expression, we call this sexuality. Sexuality means just this. Physically you're trying to make something which is not you a part of yourself. For a few moments you may succeed. If you try this mentally, it gets labeled as greed, conquest. Or maybe simply shopping, shopping, shopping. Some people go for conquest with swords and guns, some people go with checkbooks and cash, you know, credit cards. The thing is you want to include something which is not a part of you as yourself. That is a whole effort. Whether you want money or wealth or you want to occupy a nation, what is it? Something that is not you, you want to make it yours. Yours is an effort to make it a part of yourself. If it happens emotionally, on the emotional level if you try this, we call this a love affair.  This is a love affair. If you do it consciously, we call this yoga. Yoga means union. So all these efforts are fine. Everything has its own beauty but has its own limitations. When you understand the limitations of all the other methods, nothing right or wrong about it, it is just that it will work briefly, it will not work for always. When you realize that, you consciously try to include.  So this is a love affair successful. It is something you said at the end which I would like to ask you again. You said love inclusiveness. I can't understand how I can love everybody in this room. You cannot. There's some people you cannot love. I can barely see up there and up there. So how is that, how do you include everybody in your love? Is it because you are looking at love as something that comes to you or you yield to the process of love only because you appreciate a particular quality, a shape of somebody's nose or the shape of their mind or their thought or their emotion or the way they speak or the way they do things or the way they relate to you, something, okay? The many, many things. It is based on something that is acceptable to you. If they do something that is not acceptable to you, love crumbles. Yes.  It only happens within you, isn't it? Yes. It never. People say love is in the air. No. Because you are feeling very pleasant in your emotions, suddenly air feels vibrant.  Now you're beginning to feel it. Okay. All right? So whatever human experience, love or hate, whatever, whatever happens only within you, what I'm saying is, at least what happens within you must happen by your choice. Consciously you must be able to make it happen. If you are able to, if your experience of what is happening within you is happening by choice, what is the problem? It only happens within you. Love is not a relationship. A relationship is a different thing. Love is a certain sweetness of your emotion. Whether you look at a tree or a dog or a man or a woman or a child or just at the sky, why can't you look at it lovingly? Because it's not about loving the sky. It's about the sweetness of your emotion. If your emotions are sweet, whatever you look at, you look at it in a certain way. Right now you have nasty emotions, whatever you look at, you look at it in a different way. So you have always associated love with somebody. No, no, no, this is not about somebody. Love is not something that you do. It is something that you can become. If you're willing, you can become love, you can make your emotion into a very sweet space. If you make your body very pleasant, it becomes pleasure. If you sit here, it can be great pleasure just sitting here and breathing. If your mind becomes pleasant, we say this is joy. If your emotions become pleasant, we say this is love. If your very life energies become pleasant, we say this is blissfulness, this is ecstasy. If your surroundings become pleasant, we call that success. Now you're calling your success with somebody as love. That's a mistake. You have a success story with somebody. That is you have created pleasantness in the atmosphere between you and let's say five, ten people around you. You're calling that love. No, that is actually success because that needs lots of management. Yes, it does. Yes or no? Yes, it does. Yes, but for you to be loving, there is no management.  It's not about anybody. If somebody comes, we can share it. If nobody comes, you can sit here with the eyes closed and still be loving. What's the problem? It is not about somebody. It's not an action. It is not something that you do. It is something that you can become. It's a, it's a lovely idyllic. It is not idyllic, it's, it's the greatest. I mean, you'd really have to practice this. Why? Because I'm thinking... See, this is what exactly I'm saying. If it is an action, an action comes to perfection with practice. Only if it's an action, I'm saying love is not an act. Is health an act? Are you acting healthy right now? I know you're an actor, but are you acting healthy? No. So, health is because we have done certain things and health is, isn't it? Oh, we've not done certain things. We've been given health. No, no, no, no. Oh, we've been given, but if you eat bad, if you live bad, you won't be healthy. We've done certain things to manage our health. Similarly, if you do certain things, you can manage the pleasantness of your mind. If you do certain other things, you can manage this pleasantness of your emotion. If you do certain other things, you can manage the pleasantness of your very life energies. This is things that you can do. Now, what you can do internally, you're trying to manage externally. What can be done here within you, you're trying to manage by creating an atmosphere around you, which is a very difficult thing to do because outside will never happen hundred percent the way you want it. To some extent we can manage. We can't do all of it by ourselves because there are many forces involved. Satguruji, you said something about health and you said you do certain things for yourself, certain things. One, you are given health and then how you maintain it is you eat well, you exercise and you remain healthy. Now, to be loving when maybe in a household, any situation, maybe outside, like you said, outside forces are not pleasant. It doesn't come easily to then just be loving. So what is the practice to become that way or to train yourself to be that way? I want to remove this idea from your mind. You believe you need to practice. Practice means you're trying to perfect an action, isn't it? To be loving at all times? Yes, that is not an act. No, not an act. No, I don't want to go back to the movies okay? No, to be so accepting because... No, it's not about accepting. Right now, do you want to keep your mind, your thought process, pleasant or nasty? Tell me, what is your choice? Ideally pleasant. No, just tell me, pleasant or nasty? You're thinking about it, this is... No, I'm trying to think, should I fox you and say nasty? Say it. Okay, nasty. I'm going to bless you now. No, no, no. Okay, I'll take back my words. Okay. All right. Any human being's choice for themselves is definitely pleasantness, isn't it? Body, mind, emotion, everything and surroundings, you want it pleasant. So why is it not pleasant? Surroundings are not pleasant because of many things. If you thought and emotion are not pleasant, it's entirely you, isn't it? Yes. Surroundings, not entirely me, it's so many forces. We have to manage them, we have to juggle them. Not always are we successful with everything around us. You know, different people have different levels of competence to manage the outside. Not all of us have the same... what to say, the skill to manage the outside. But inside, your emotion and your thought, why is it not happening your way? This is something we have to look at. This has to be addressed, every human being has to address this. At least your thought and your emotion must happen the way you want. It's like this, on a certain day, a lady went to sleep. A lady went to sleep. In her sleep, she had a dream, I think, up there. Oh, there are two stride-off people. Nobody's asleep, right? So that I could pick on you, I'm just looking if I can see. She went to sleep, up there. And in her dream, she had a dream. In her dream, she saw a hunk of a man standing in that corner. And then he started coming closer and closer and closer. He came so close, she could even feel his breath. She trembled, not in fear. And then she asked, what will you do to me? The man said, well, lady, it's your dream.   I'm saying at least fix this, at least let the dream happen the way you want it. If you are dreaming the way you want right now, your thought and your emotion would be pleasant, isn't it? He's better than... Well... Fixing the world is another thing, that's a different game. That needs lot of skill. This needs just willingness. Why are we continuously talking about joy, blissfulness, love? It's not because it's a goal by itself, these are not goals by itself. Only why when you're pleasant by your own nature, you stop being in pursuit of happiness. You are fine by yourself. You don't have to go anywhere to feel pleasant. You don't have to do anything to feel pleasant. Sitting here, you're feeling very pleasant. Now you will look at life the way it is. Otherwise, you're an endless race.   If you're pursuing happiness when you were five, I can understand. But that was not the fact. When you're five, you're simply happy by your own nature. When you're fifty, you're pursuing your happiness, this is a failed story, isn't it? But, Sadhguruji, suppose we say this to the common man, who has a little house. Where did you meet a common man? I'm imagining it. Every man or woman think they're special, believe me. Oh yes. Yes, so where did you meet a common man, I'm asking. Oh! Okay, Sadhguruji, when you said about the common person and the special person, I know some teachers have always told us and why your parents always tell you that, you know, you are special. Each one of us is unique. I remember this part, I'm not sure whether I heard it at your discourse or on DVD of yours, where you said it was about, you know, people being special and us always thinking that God knows of us. And you said something like, do you know all the grasshoppers in your garden? So, of course all of us have said no. So, you said something like, so how does God know each one of you then? And I was devastated because I always thought somebody out there knows we care about him. You thought you were number one on his book, is it? Well, I've been told since I was a kid, you're special, you're unique and God cares about you. When somebody says you're unique, it's an insult. No, you said no top line, so you're peaking in different ways. In this vast cosmos, this solar system is just a speck. Tomorrow morning if the whole solar system disappears, vanishes, evaporates, nobody will even notice it, maybe it's not even under account books of creation. It's so small. In this speck of a solar system, planet earth is a super speck. In that Mumbai is a micro super speck.  This is a very immense existential problem. This is because we have lost perspective as to who we are, what we are. Our psychological realities have become bigger than the cosmic reality. That is the big problem. It's time you step out of your cinema. I'm not talking about the Hindi cinema, I'm talking about the cinema that everybody is playing in their own minds. See a cinemacy right now, they darken this whole hall because it works best that way. This is the basic technology of a cinema. If you do not darken the cinema hall, if you light it up and play a nice cinema, it's not going to work. You have to darken it. So I'm saying a cinema of your mind because it's a dark space. Every thought is enlarged, playing out bigger than the cosmic space. Today, everything in the cosmos is happening perfectly well.  Yes. So that's because your psychological realities, your petty creation has become larger than the creator's creation. You lost perspective of life. That is the fundamental basis of all this confusion and suffering.  Okay? If… if we were all buffaloes, we would definitely think God is a big buffalo. Okay. Okay, so what is it really? Please tell us the… Please define it for us. What is it? What is going on this life, this love? All these emotions that we go through in… in our lives, all these thoughts that we create for ourselves. What is going on? These are all human possibilities and capabilities. Every possibility becomes a problem for those who do not explore the possibility in its right perspective. Thought is a tremendous possibility. An ant cannot think like you. He can work better than you. He's more disciplined. He better made… better traffic rules than you. There's no traffic jam out there. Okay?  That sets us apart. This is a possibility. But now this possibility has become a problem for ninety percent of the humanity. Now they're freaking because they can think and they're thinking all the wrong things. Their thoughts have become nasty. If they were pleasant, they would have enjoyed their thought process because it's become nasty. It's becoming an ailment, isn't it? People are suffering their thoughts immensely because they do not know how to keep it pleasant. Nothing has been done towards it. So what is a possibility always becomes a problem if you do not explore it in the right perspective. So your thought and emotion has become a problem. Now love affair is a problem. You're making all kinds of things out of it which are all coming from this misunderstanding. Not understanding this thought and emotion is generated by me, I can generate it whichever way I want. If nastiness is what you like, you do it. I don't care if that's what you like, but you're suffering it. If you're suffering it, you shouldn't be doing it. I'm not telling you be loving. What is your choice, pleasantness or unpleasantness? If unpleasantness is your choice, you enjoy it and do it. What is my problem? You want to drink poison, what is my problem? I'm just telling you, this is poison, this is this. Drink whatever you want, but by choice.  That is not befitting of a human being. A human being means we are far more conscious than every other creature on this planet. That's what sets us apart. Or every creature eats, but we can eat consciously. So our eating becomes so many things.  We can do it consciously. So we become something, something. We are doing the same things, but we are doing it consciously. Suddenly there is a magic about it, not because sex is magic, food is magic, no. Because we can do it consciously. Every basic act, like eating and copulating becomes magical because we can do it consciously.  Everything can become nasty. So it is this which sets you apart from every other creature. So a dog is walking on the street. If you show it a biscuit, it'll wag its tail. If you do this, it'll do.  If somebody is not nice to you, you will bite them. I'm saying what, where is evolution in you? Forget about civilization. I'm talking about evolution. Where is the evolution? Where's the sign of evolution? I'm asking. Okay, Sadhguruji, let's go to... I've seen people copying answers in examination, but never questions. Yeah, I've got questions. Well, today many women in our modern society are stepping out and having a career. And I just like to know, what do you think of this? Of women stepping out, being career people, managing home as well, being financially independent. This is good. See, every woman should do what she wants to do as an individual person. It should not be made into a trend in a society or the only right thing to do in the world. Because I think if a woman is intends to have two children and raise them, I think it's a full-time job. I'm not saying she should not go out and work. If she wishes to, as an individual person, she's free to do what she wants to do. But having two children is not about reproduction. You're manufacturing the next generation of people. How the world will be tomorrow will be determined by what kind of mothers you have today. Believe me. You know, I have seen many ladies coming to me and say, when I asked, what are you doing? Oh, I'm just a housewife. I said, why do you say you're just a housewife? You don't seem to understand the significance of, you know, being able to nurture two or three new lives. It's not a not important job. It's a very important job. Carrier, I want you to understand right now because we've made the whole world into economics.  No, it is just procurement of things that you need. Money is just about that. Man was procuring, woman was taking about the more beautiful aspects of life. Now, woman also wants to procure. If there is such an economic need in the family, fine, she must do it. But it is not a compulsive need. It must not be set up as something better to do than doing something. If she sings, saw, if she plays music or if she just loves her children or if she cooks beautifully or she just lives beautifully like a flower, it's good enough, I'm saying. It is not necessary that only if she earns this much money, she's doing something valuable, otherwise she's not. If there is an economic need, she can do it. Or if she has a passion for doing it, she can do it. But let not such values be set up in the world because you are not evolving, you're regressing.  Okay, Sadhguruji, let me take you away from this and let me take you to a world of safe films. World of films? Okay, let's go. Let's go movies. Years ago, when films started and you know, through the sixties, seventies, there were lovely stories, nice values, beautiful music, lyrics. By the time I was the star in movies, some of our Jhatka Matkas might have shocked the previous generations and they must have said, what is all this? But it was still within limits. Whose limits?  It's live-in relationships are, you know, up there on screen for everybody to see and nightclub culture. I mean, it sometimes worries me that my children are growing up now. This is what they're seeing. These are the kind of songs that they're listening to. The lyrics are about, you know... From Janam Janam to expiry date songs. Yes. So, this is the... This is what they're watching. This is what they think is cool. This is the... This is the hip and happening stuff. I'm... I think by the time you came, the Janam Janam was over, isn't it? No, it was still there. It was in the middle somewhere. The music was wonderful. The lyrics were still lovely. But today it is Munni Badnam Ho gayi and it... things have really moved to chewing gums and... I am forgetting at this moment what the lyrics are, but then it's... It's shallow right now. India has the youngest population in the world right now. So with such a young nation growing up on this, this is the feed. This is what you see, this is what you hear. I'm just a little concerned as to what they will turn out to be. I'm sure your parents were concerned too. Okay, so can I... I'm sure my parents were very concerned when I was growing up. So every parent has this concern, every generation has this concern that the next generation is going wrong always. I understand what you're saying. This sudden change, if every generation likes to go one step beyond where the previous generation has stepped in, on almost everything just for the sake of doing something different or it's natural they have grown up in one atmosphere, they take it to another level. They move to the next level. Yes. Next is not always next. That's what you're saying. Next is not always next, right? Yes, it's not higher, it's... It's just next. So this concern is always there, but right now the change that is happening is not the next. It is a serious influence because in the last fifteen years, the world's ability to communicate across cultures and borders is so heavy and so unprecedented. Nobody has ever been used to this kind of influences before, okay? Never before. This level of influence on our young people, never before possible, no other generation has ever experienced this kind of onslaught from so many directions and the volume of influence is too big. So in terms of changes are happening, not... it is not next, it is simply somewhere and nobody knows where it is because it's too complex and too mixed. Nobody knows where it is, including the young people, it's just a mix of things. So this is because of a sudden onslaught of information and communication. It is not for us to judge whether it's good or bad, it is just that definitely this level of information. When I say information, it's like when we were growing up, I believe it was true for your generation also, we never knew what is boredom, okay? There was no such thing, we were just excited about everything that came our way. But you see today, twelve-year-old kids, if you tell them what, oh! You see, they're just bored because they know the whole cosmos, they've seen it on their phone screen, not even on the computer screen. On the phone screen, they've seen entire cosmos, they know everything. Things that you do not know, they know, you ask them, they know it. By information, by the time they are eighteen, they have had five love affairs and gone. In the western world it's like that, here also it's beginning to happen, okay? So by the time they're eighteen, they've seen everything that you need to see with body, mind, emotion, okay? By the time they're twenty-five, what? What next? What next? You will see, this is not my wish, but this is something that I see, the way people's minds are working, the way they're being led in with information, I'm not a… by any standards a pessimistic person, but I'm just seeing this, if this level of information continues and it will multiply many fold for the coming generations, you should not be surprised. In the next fifty to hundred years, if fifty percent of the human population choose to commit suicide, you should not be surprised, because that is what will happen to the mind. Somebody's clapping, look at this, it's popular. No, you have just touched a chord, that's…  So more people are on self-help already than murderers, warmongers, bad drivers, everything put together. More people are on self-help and if this level of information onslaught continues on human mind, I know the nature of mind absolutely, because I know my mind, I know how it works, what it can handle, what it cannot do, I know it clearly what human mind is. That's the reason why I don't have to read people's books or listen to their entire thing, if they say one sentence, I know what their mind is. Because I know the structure of human mind entirely, otherwise I won't be who I am. So I'm saying this, if this level of information onslaught continues at the same pace or at higher pace, which is possible in the next few years, this will definitely lead to wanting to terminate yourself, because there will be nothing to live for. There is no joy and excitement about anything. You please watch your children. By the time they are twelve-fifteen, they are just bored.   When you are twelve-fifteen, was there any room for you to get bored about anything? Simply you are excited about every little thing, isn't it? Today you will see it's almost a common feature. Twelve-fifteen-year-old kids are just bored. Only thing is… Yes, they are all on iPads, iPhones, they are on gadgets. Because we are talking about love and life, all this will not mean nothing.  But at least at that time you thought you will die for it. Okay? Today by the… on Facebook they had twenty-two love affairs going simultaneously. It just means nothing. I'm not saying they should have it or not have it. All I am saying is, this will lead to a certain overload on the mind and suddenly a human being will think, why am I here? You know that big Shakespearean question to be or not to be, it's not the most intelligent question. Unfortunately people think so. This is only because you have not been touched by life.  You are just a psychological case.  You have not touched life at all. You think your thoughts and emotions are life? No. Your thoughts and emotions are the drama that you are creating in your mind. It is your cinema. You must be able to end it somewhere. If you do not know how to put the end, then it's going on endless cinema, you are going crazy. Life is happening here.  Your family is not life. Your career is not life. Your cinema is not life. Your thought is not life.  Life is happening here. Everything else is accessories to life. Now the frills of life have become larger than life itself. Life is entirely missed.  When such a thing never happens to you because you have information about the whole cosmos on your phone screen, you will never be touched by life because too much information, too much thought, even emotion is drying up, too much thought. This has happened.  Brilliant, intellectually brilliant, but you will wonder why are you alive? Because intellect is like that. If you wake up in the morning, devoid of any… touching any life's experience within you, don't think about your child's face, do not think about the flowers in the garden, birds in the sky, nothing beautiful that ever touched you. Just think logically. You have to get out of bed. That's not a small feat. You have to brush your teeth, breakfast, go to work, eat, work, eat, sleep. Again, tomorrow morning, same thing. Next fifty years, you have to do the same process every day. If you look at it one hundred percent logically and intellectually, you will have no reason to live today morning, tomorrow morning. It's only if you touch by something, suddenly it's worth living. If you're not touched by anything, then it's not worth living. What is… what is so worth living about a human being? Wake up in the morning, trudging through life every day, eating, sleeping, same rubbish. What is the point? There is no point. Unless you touch by something, some magic of life, if it doesn't touch you, either in the form of love, or in the form of a flower, or in the form of something within you. If something doesn't sparkle within you, definitely there is a question whether I should live or not, isn't it? And we are taking humanity in that direction with this overload of information. Information is not knowing. Information is just garbage collection. You just gather things which don't mean anything to you.  If you're smart with life, you must be blissful, isn't it? If you're really smart with life, you must be joyful and blissful, isn't it so?  Everybody, wow! They can also open the internet and the same thing. You think this guy visited the galaxy? So, Sadhguruji, then what is it? Okay, so for all of us, give us a clear, simple, simple sentences, do this and you will be at least on the way to being blissful or happy or aware or living in a nice, conscious way.  Not for your family, not for your career, not for something else, something else.  Yes or no? Yes. Even if you're in love with somebody, still this is the most important piece of life, isn't it? So pay some attention to this, how does it happen? Why have you taken it for granted? Believe me, you're not going to be here forever.  Yes or no? Yes. So, do not take this for granted. If you wake up in the morning, tomorrow if you wake up in the morning… No, this is not my wish, but I want you to know of all the people who go to bed tonight, over a million people will not wake up tomorrow morning. And tomorrow if you and me wake up tomorrow morning, is it not a fantastic thing? A million people did not wake up.  Is it not a great thing? Just look at the ceiling and smile. You are still awake. You're still there. A million people did not get up in the morning and you woke up.  So just check those five, six people around you. They all woke up. Wow, it's a fantastic day.  Is it not fantastic day? You don't think so. Yes. You don't seem to think so. Because the problem is just this, you're living with an idea that you're immortal. When I say you're immortal, you're not actually thinking you're immortal, but you're not conscious of your morality. If you're not conscious of your mortality, somewhere you think you're immortal, isn't it? How many moments in a day are you conscious that you're mortal? If you were conscious, would you have time to crib? Would you have time to fight with somebody? Would you have time to do some rubbish with your life?  This one thing if you do, if you just remind yourself, you don't think this is a negative thing, death is not a negative thing, it's the only thing which has added value to your life. If you're here forever, you would be unbearable. Yes. Yes, yes. Isn't it? Aren't we glad everybody dies one day?  Just you know one day I will die. If you're just conscious of this one thing, you will naturally become spiritual. You will not become spiritual by thinking about God, you will become unrealistic, hallucinatory. You will start talking to somebody, you will start doing all kinds of things. Already people, you know, they have earphones on and they're talking, you don't know whether they've lost it or they... Ten years ago, if somebody was walking on the street talking, you would know that she's lost. But today you don't know. Whether they got their headphones or and they just lost it and they're talking, we cannot make out. But if you are conscious that you are mortal every moment of your life, spiritual process has begun for you. So the one... one of the main reasons, one of the fundamental reasons why that all these things have to be taught to you that she's repeatedly asking this question, were you born special, did you have normal birth or not, is simply because most people have forgotten they're mortal. They think they're immortal. They may not actually think they're immortal, but they're not conscious they're mortal. With every step, with every breath, if they were conscious of this, you know how consciously they would live? They would become fantastic. It is your mortality, which makes you want to know what is the nature of your existence. You really want to know where you came from, where you will go. Only when it sinks into you, all this drama will one day end. But right now you think only others appear in obituary columns, you are only going to read it. That is simply beautiful. That's all that's needed. If you want to know the value of life, just know that it's a brief happening. The time that you spend here as life it's a very relative experience. If you're truly joyful and ecstatic, it's horribly brief, believe me. I feel like I was born debut for yesterday. See, already how I have become. Okay? But on a particular day, if you're depressed or miserable, one day seems like an endless thing. So, only miserable people have a long life. If you're a joyful ecstatic person, life is always brief. If you live to be hundred, it's still very brief for what possibilities a human being carries.   It'll be over, over, okay? Only miserable people have a very long life. They feel it's very long. Sadhguruji, here we have a few questions. First question is from Prabhas Sundaras Sundar Sen. Where and how do we draw the line between loving unconditionally and becoming a doormat? See, we need to understand this. What's being right now passed around as love is generally a neutral benefit scheme. You give me this, I'll give you that.  This is not said, but it's done. It's done, isn't it? It's not said. So human beings have physical, psychological, emotional, economic, social and various other kinds of needs. To fulfill these things, when you say, I love you, instead of making these things ugly needs that we have to, ugly transactions that we have to do, you give me this, you give me that, to bring some aesthetic and beauty to this transaction, we coat it with a certain amount of sweetness of emotion, which we call as love affair. Where the transactions happen, more smoothly because once we are human, somehow doing basic transactions in a basic way makes us feel ugly. If you take food with both your hands and eat it, it's ugly, isn't it? We want to eat in a certain way. Similarly, to fulfill our physical needs, emotional needs, economic needs, we have arrangements where we can conduct this in a more aesthetic manner. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, this is the fact of life. So this level of love, I call this, this is enough to fulfill the domestic needs of once, you know, for two people to live together, to fulfill their needs, to produce children, to raise them, domestic level of love affair people can have. But if people want to have a love affair, which will bring them to an ultimate union, then not many people are competent to do that. Not many people are ready to have that kind of a love affair, where it'll make two lives into one. Two becomes actually one in experience. That will need something more. Most people are competent of using love to fulfill the domestic needs. But to go beyond that, they are not ready. And when I say they're not ready either, I'm not talking about this person or that person. So when one is ready and another is not ready or one is making an effort and another doesn't have the effort, then it feels like somebody is becoming a doormat. That is what it is, that it feels like they're being exploited. But above all, one who is longing to become use love as a way of ultimate union should not be bothered about being doormat, this and that. In India we have a culture whereby choice people name themselves as slaves. You know Ram Das, Krishn Das, this Das, that Das. What is it? They're openly saying, I'm a slave. I'm a doormat. I want to be a doormat. They're not saying, I'm afraid I'll be used as a doormat. They're saying, I want to be a doormat. So this is a kind of love that they are wanting to use to use for ultimate union. This is not for domestic purposes. So if you're looking for ultimate union, then love is a different affair. If you're looking for conducting of domestic affairs, then you must manage dignity. Who gets what? If anybody is using more than what they should, then if you don't give me that, I don't give you this, okay? Otherwise if you're looking for ultimate union, you should not think of all these things. That's a different affair. That's not for not much social thing. If you fall in love itself, you become vulnerable to somebody. Without becoming vulnerable, there is no love affair. You have to fall. When you fall, somebody may raise you or somebody may walk over you. Yes. But the thing is the experience of your life is beautiful because you fell, not because they raised you, not because they walked over you, because you could actually have the sense of abandoning you to fall. That was the beauty of your love affair.  This no. The beauty was you sat alone and you think you really love this person so much you were willing to die. That was the most beautiful moment. Not the moment they gave you a big gift, not the moment they gave you a diamond ring, not the moment they said this and that about you. No.  That was the moment.  Okay? I am not saying you should be like that. I am saying, where love transformed itself into a devotion. If you fall in love itself, you become very vulnerable, but there are still some shreds of sanity in love affairs that you can recover. But if you become a devotee, there is no sanity left and you cannot recover. So before you trade such a land, you must see whether you offer it or not. What are your goals first of all? If your goal is to make a life, a cautioned, a very measured love affair is good. But your thing is, you want to dissolve into the process of life. You don't want to have a good life. You're not planning to have a good life. You just want to become an explosion of life. You don't care what you get and what you don't get. Then you become a devotee. Devotion means it's your intention to dissolve into object of devotion. So a devotee is not expecting whether I'll become a doormat or a crown on somebody's head. Whatever I become, as long as I can touch your feet or head or whatever, it's fine with me. So that's a different state of existence. I don't think somebody who is looking for a domestic level of love affair should even ask that question. We have one question from the social media, the Facebook. Amit Madan wants to know, in this materialistic age, the real feeling of love is disappearing from our life. Most of the love we receive from others and expressed to others is superficial. How can we reinforce the real feeling of love in our own life and in others? Forget about others. If you… if you learn to be loving by your own nature, not because of somebody else or something else, I know the question is coming from Facebook. There's an enormous possibility. You can even love those people who don't even exist. So I'm saying it's a tremendous possibility. So if you just become love, not love somebody, then you will know the nature of love. If you love somebody, it's a fickle happening because no human being will happen a hundred percent the way you want them. Every human being on this planet is going to disappoint you, believe me. Not because they'll do something wrong, because nobody can fulfill the unrealistic expectation you have of them. It's simply not possible. Have you been able to fulfill anybody's expectation I'm asking you entirely? Partially, but never entirely, isn't it? So nobody else will be able to do it.  That ideal person is going to come from somewhere. No, believe me, whoever comes, I want you to know the ideal people whom you worship, when Krishna was there, his wife's complained. All right? So there is no opera for us. Yes, please remember this. Okay. Sadguruji, this is where we open, yes, the platform, it's... Anybody has a question, this is the moment. Yes, please. My name is Anand. My question is about marriage, divorce. No, no, there are two different things. See today is many youngsters, like many of them they don't want to marry and few of them who marry, there are occasions where they are getting divorced. So, would you like to throw some light on these situations, Sadhguru? See, you need to understand the institution of marriage. One thing is as we said a little while ago, it's about bringing a certain sanctity to the simple basic needs that every human being has. I will repeat, there are physical needs, there are psychological needs, there are economic needs, emotional needs, social needs, variety of needs. To fulfill all these things, we set up an institution called marriage where all this can be conducted in a sensible manner. Otherwise, if we did it on the streets like every other creature, it would turn ugly for us and we will feel not good about it. So, to bring some sense of organization, some aesthetic, some stability, because man and woman coming together naturally brought fresh life. The nature of human life, the nature of human offspring is such that because of the possibilities that a human being carries, it is compared to any other creature, it is the most helpless life which needs maximum amount of support. You could leave a puppy on the street, as long as he gets food, he grows up into a good dog, no problem. But not so with the human being, he doesn't need just physical support, he needs variety of support and above all a stable situation. Whether there should be marriage in society or not, one will debate when they are eighteen because physical body is asking for freedom, all right? At that time, everybody questions, is marriage really needed? Why can't we just live whichever way we want? But when you're three years of age, you valued marriage immensely, a stable marriage immensely, isn't it so? Yes or no? Not yours, your parents. The parents, yes. When you're three-four years of age, you are one-hundred percent for marriage. Again when you become forty-five-fifty, you are hundred percent for marriage. Between eighteen and thirty-five, you're questioning the whole process. Okay? That's true. I am not saying marriage is the thing, but do you have a better alternative? If you have a better alternative, damn the marriage. But you have not come up with a better alternative because a stable situation is a must for a child. Once you have a child, it's a twenty-year project. Yes. Okay? That is if they do well. If they don't do well, it's a lifelong project. So, if you want to get into such projects, at least twenty years, there must be a commitment to create a stable situation. Your whims and fancies will change, your emotions will change. If that is what it is, don't get into such situations. It's not compulsory for everybody to get married. It's good, young people are saying people are thinking whether to get married or not. I'm glad. It is not necessary for everybody. But if you get into it and if you… especially if you get into children, you must understand it's a minimum twenty-year project, whether you like it or you don't like it. Otherwise, you shouldn't get into those projects. You don't walk into a project, drop it halfway and walk away, isn't it? They have their benefits and they have their problems. It's your choice. But at least choose consciously, you don't have to get married because everybody is getting married. You don't have to talk about marriage and divorce in same breath as if they come together. This is a completely… an American idea, you're thinking of marriage and divorce together. Nobody thought of divorce in this country till recently, isn't it? Why should you ever talk about marriage and divorce in one breath? It's a crime. It's really a crime to think on those lines. But if it so happens, something truly went wrong between two people and they have to separate, that will anyway inevitably happen. You don't have to plan it at the time of wedding. Speaker- Namaskaram, Satguru. Speaker- Okay. Speaker- Yeah. Namaskaram. You mentioned about survival and you talked about aesthetics of life. I would like… I would request you to elaborate on aesthetics of life. And my second question is for my friend. I don't know whether you will answer it or not but I just want to mention it over here because she has requested me to do so. Her question is, what is the purpose of this universe? Speaker- Tell your friend I didn't make it. Thank you so much. Speaker- Why am I being blamed for these things? The only thing I have done is I have figured the nature of my life. And by figuring the nature of this life, I know by inference every life has happened the same way, not just every life, the very cosmos has happened the same way. If you know the nature of this life from its origin to its ultimate, you know the nature of everything by inference, everything that's worth knowing. So tell your friend I didn't make this universe so don't blame me for such big things. I just figured my way through my life and when you figure it, if you figure it, you will see the most important thing that's happening in your life right now is that you're alive, nothing else. Not that stocks have gone up to date, that's not the most important thing. Not your love affair, not this and that.    Check.  Every time you feel little suicidal or depressed, just check.  So I want to know the most important thing that's happening to you right now is life itself.  These are all frills. Frills are so much you're missing the skirt, that's the whole problem with you. Yes, so much frill. Fundamental things are forgotten. So this is the most important thing. Right now for most people life means their job. Life means the new house they're building. Life means the car that they bought. Life means their wife, their husband, their children know. Life means what's throbbing here, not even your body, not your mind, not your thought, not your emotion. What is right now throbbing here, this is life. Because this is on, everything else seems to be meaningful. If this one stops, nothing around you means any damn thing to you or to anybody. I liked what Satguruji today, what he was explaining, that this blissfulness, this happiness, whatever it is, is not outside of you. And it is there with you. If you at every moment remember that you are here only for this brief time, wouldn't you do the best every moment? Wouldn't you love everybody that moment? Wouldn't you do all the things that you love or you value every moment of your life?


Slick Mac 99. Hope it's okay to slightly derail the subject. If not, that's okay. It's 8 p.m. where I am right now. I typically get up at about 8 a.m. but find myself making very little of getting up early and most lounging in bed only to fall back asleep, but was hoping to maybe switch this up. Is there a few things you like to do straightaway as a somewhat morning routine? Morning routine for me, Slick, is I get up, I check messages, I check the news, I take care. Actually right now for last year's been taking care of the kitty cats, right? So I feed the kitty cats and say hi to the kitty cats and let them out in the patio and just take a little breather in the patio, right? It's really nice and I get up early, right? I get up like 5.30 in the morning or something, 5.5.3 in the morning. So it's, you know, in the summer time it's just getting light, sort of dusk or dawn and right now it's getting darker and darker, right? Days are getting shorter and shorter. So I sort of take a breather in this space, this awesome space and just let the kitty cats run around and be happy and I feed them and then I'm on the computer right away, boom, boom, kicking up the, you know, triggering the mind, getting the mind working and checking on news and messages and whatnot and that gets me going, that gets me going. And usually when I'm doing that I listen to a lecture, listen to some news release, read something and that just slowly gets me going, right? I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it but that's the way I've been doing it for a little bit of while, just because we live in an amazing, interesting time, slick Mac, right? That's my routine for now, anyway.


Do you ever wonder how airplanes went from this, to this, or how they went from here, to here? In just over a hundred years, airplanes have gone from single propellers with fabric stretched over wooden wings to the flying metal behemoths we know today. For most planes, the overall shape hasn't really changed, engines facing forward, tail facing back, wings sticking out on both sides, and hopefully at least a few wheels on bottom. But one of the parts that has arguably changed the most are the wings. While modern wing design might seem smooth and simple, hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into optimizing them down to the nano scale. Today we're going to be looking at some of the biggest changes. Don't forget to like and subscribe, and let's jump in. Any airplane designer will tell you that the wing is the heart of a plane. For conventional airplanes, it provides most of the lift generated by the plane, which is what allows it to take to the skies and governs most of its aerodynamic capabilities. Most of us know about Orville and Wilbur Wright's first flying machine that took to the skies of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903. The plane was powered by a custom built engine, designed off the 12 horsepower engines powering the cars of the day. The wings stretched 40 feet and were comprised of fabrics wrapped around a spruce wooden skeleton. Nowadays, most plane wings are made from aluminum, but not the same stuff holding your cannon soup together. This is the aerospace grade stuff, an alloy with strength comparable to steel, but at a third the weight. Besides what they're made of, wing design has an enormous effect on a plane's capabilities. In wind tunnel tests, the Wright brothers discovered that thinner, longer wings created less drag, which explains the very thin and flat designs of their wings. This trend continued into World War I, with attack fighters taking to the skies with these thin wings. Today, we know that what the Wright brothers thought was actually the opposite of the truth. So it was wrong. The early wind tunnel results were misleading, because they were limited to small tunnels and low airflow speeds by the engines of the day that powered the tunnels. Today, we know that the much larger sizes and air speeds associated with full scale flight result in the opposite effect. Thin wings experience what's known as thin airfoil stall, much more often because of the air moving above and below the wing can easily collide at the back of the wing, causing drag and a loss of lift. This was first discovered by German engineers towards the end of the First World War and allowed them to build a Fokker Triplane. These planes were able to climb much faster and maneuver more sharply than planes using thin wings and resulted in the Fokker D7 being one of the most effective fighters of the war. After the war in the 1920s, most plane manufacturers moved towards the use of thicker plane wings. By the 1930s, most flying planes exhibited these efficient wing designs with thick wings and large aspect ratios. An aspect ratio is the length of a wing compared to its width, so basically, wings were getting longer as lighter metal alloys allowed them to protrude further from the fuselage of the plane. The famous Douglas DC-3 is an excellent example with its aesthetically beautiful high wing aspect ratio and streamlined thick wings. By this point, most planes were putting two engines on the wings, rather than one in the center of the plane as was popular amongst World War I attack planes. This led to greater thrust, but as the engines needed structural support, this solidified the thicker airplane wings moving forward. Thicker wings had other advantages. They allowed for storage space for fuel tanks and retractable landing gear and allowed the planes of the era to no longer need wires connecting the tips of the wing to the main body of the plane. This shift accompanied the transition from bioplanes to the modern single wing planes we know today. With the advent of jet airplanes in the 1940s, planes were approaching and even pushing past the speed of sound, and this necessitated another major wing modification. As engineers discovered the immense stresses that supersonic flight put on a plane's body, they also realized that as you approach supersonic speeds, shockwaves would start to appear along the length of the wings that could rip them apart. To reduce these shockwaves, they needed to design planes with smaller cross-sections. A smaller cross-section would mean less air needed to be pushed out of the way, reducing drag, and reducing the effects of these shockwaves. And so in the end of the 40s, thinner wings made their reemergence, as engineers worked to make thinner aircraft profiles. And as planes broke the supersonic speed barrier in the 40s and 50s, this trend only continued. The Lockheed F-104, the first plane designed for sustained speeds at Mach 2, is a perfect example, with its very thin wings and a leading edge that was literally razor thin, all to reduce the strength of the shockwaves generated. By this point, planes had come full circle, returning to the thin wing ripe brother's designs, but for completely different flight conditions. As engineers continued to optimize planes for supersonic flight speeds, they discovered something else. Most planes previously had wings sticking straight out of the fuselage, and this was efficient at lower speeds, but as you approach supersonic speeds, this would create enormous pressures on the leading edges of the wings. Engineers discovered that by sweeping wings backwards, rather than straight out, these forces could be reduced immensely. These wings would be less efficient at low speeds, but at high speeds, where the planes were intended to fly out most of the time, they were far more efficient. But then some scientists during the Cold War got to thinking, what if instead of designing a pair of wings for low speed or high speed, you could design them for both? This was a rather radical concept, as it required being able to shift the sweep of a wing mid-flight, and thus the variable wing sweep was born. If you're wondering why you've never seen a variable swept wing plane, it's because there are some serious performance trade-offs. The first and most obvious reason is that they're very expensive, so any benefits would have to outweigh the enormous additional costs. Another downside is that these planes stall rather easily, and so unless complex high-lift wing devices are built in, long runways are required for the plane to be able to take off. The more efficient sweep angles available offset the weight and volume penalties imposed by the wing's mechanical sweep mechanisms, but its greater complexity and cost meant it only really practical for military aircraft. But during the Cold War, military aircraft priorities were shifting. Rather than being made for dogfighting other fighters out of the sky, most planes, like the now iconic SR-71 Blackbird, were being engineered for stealth, and engineers found it impossible to engineer a sweep design for stealth. Even today, despite what you may think, aerial dogfights are exceedingly rare, and so stealth aircraft are still preferred above more efficient flyers. While it may seem like wing designs have largely settled into place, they're still constantly evolving. Although nowadays, the changes are usually more subtle. Have you ever noticed those vertical parts on the end of the wings? Well, those are called winglets, and they improve an aircraft's fuel efficiency and cruising range by reducing the aerodynamic drag associated with vortices that develop at the wingtips as the airplane moves through the air. One of the interesting things about winglets is, unlike a lot of airplane features, they help regardless of the size of the plane, so these days, most everything, from single-seat hang gliders to global jumbo jets use winglets. The funny thing about winglets is they were actually first thought up in the late 1800s, but the idea remained on the drawing board until rekindled in the early 1970s as spiraling fuel prices forced aircraft manufacturers to come up with anything that could improve fuel efficiency ever slightly. Nowadays, these extend aircraft range by about 6%, which might not sound like a lot, but that's hundreds of millions of gallons in jet fuel every year, and winglets are still evolving. The next generation of planes like the Boeing 737 MAX, if it ever takes to the sky again, uses a set of dual winglets to further increase aerodynamic stability and lift. And there's been a lot of other cool wing innovations over the past few decades. A lot of them have to do with the transonic region. That's the area between subsonic and supersonic flight, where drag on a plane increases exponentially. One example are these thingies, called flap-track fairings, otherwise known as anti-shock bodies, that were developed after realizing that drag can be minimized by having a cross-sectional area that changes smoothly along the length of the aircraft. Well, I hope you enjoyed this episode of Everything Science. If you did, consider liking and subscribing so you don't miss out on any future episodes. In researching for this video, I discovered a lot of cool planes, so if you want to see a video on those, let me know in the comments down below. Have a great day, and remember, there's always more to learn.


Okay, hi friends. This is brother Mike Sunday morning. Welcome Saints. Welcome to the deep things of God with brother Mike Every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock you can catch me on twitch.tv You can catch me on Twitter You just put in the codes HCC ADC house hardcore Christianity Arizona Deliverance Center and You're there. I'm also on my Facebook page Broadcasting on Michael W. Smith on Facebook and The purpose of the Sunday morning broadcast is to teach you things that you will never hear in church These are things that are not taught in church, but are taught in God's word and They're very important and these are things you need to have if you are contemplating going into the ministry if you're contemplating plating a ministry of healing and deliverance if you truly want to help people and Pull them out of the fire as the Apostle said These teachings are very important. You can contact me on Mike at hardcore Christianity comm remember that we have to Zoom Deliverance services every week Tuesday night at six o'clock Mount mountain time and then Wednesday night at six o'clock mountain time you can send me an email and Get the ID code and the Password I'll send it right out to you if you need a religious exemption send me an email I'll send that right out to you if you know some of the needs of deliverance and they can't come to the zoom broadcast They can't come to Phoenix to the deliverance center Semi-demail I'll send you out the miracle list a step-by-step guide that works 100% of the time I have one for troubled Christians. I have one for Mentally ill Christians and I Am one of the foremost Counselors in the entire country Christian counselors, I should say In the field of healing and deliverance for mentally ill Christians If there's somebody else doing this similar to me, I'm unaware of it. I wrote a book on it. It's on the website. You can get it Off there It's called the root cause and cure of mental illness. You'll be shocked at the information in that book, I also have case studies from my personal Counseling practice and from the word of God So today I wanted to talk to you about the will of God and what he wants to do with your life he wants to do several important things and The problem is nobody actually believes him because they don't understand him God has a personality just like you and I do He has his own distinct personality Father has one the son has one. The Holy Ghost has one. They all have separate and distinct Personalities and as a result that they have what I call a personality temperament How that personality reacts and relates to the outside world and people don't understand That God is love that's what the Apostle John taught us And he should know he knew the Lord Jesus better than anyone God is love. Now, how does that actually translate into your life? What are you going to be doing with your life as a result of that? Well, here it is You got to understand how this thing works for you personally How does it work for humanity? Globally and it's easy to see in the word of God take a look at Matthew chapter 18 verse number 14 and Jesus is talking about human beings He's talking about children He's talking about people that are lost Lost sheep is the illustration here and it says here quote Jesus said it is not the will of your heavenly father that one of These little ones should perish You remember the story everybody has of the parable of the lost sheep It is not God's will that one person One human being Parish it is not his will if you turn to 2nd Peter chapter 3 and Check out verse 9 more shocking material Representing illustrating Highlighting God's personality It says quote the Lord is not slack concerning his promises as Some men count slackness But he is long suffering to us Not willing that any should perish But that all Should come to repentance That's a shocking statement there because you have all kinds of religious theories and theologies out there that are half baked and crackpot That God doesn't want to heal some people he did he wants some people to die and go to hell He wants some people to die and go to heaven.  The word of God does not support those lies Here's what it supports God is long suffering to us He's very patient. He is not willing That any should perish but that all should come to repentance so in your ministry You've got to understand that when you're working with someone the will of God is on your side God's attitude is with you he wants to help that person He cares about them he Likes helping people. It's part of his personality It's part of his personality temperament He likes to help people He feels good about it He's happy doing it and That's why it says He wants everyone Everyone to come to repentance Which is Part of the Great Commission in the last chapter of Luke you'll notice that Jesus said he wanted Repentance and forgiveness of sins preached in his name to all nations That means that God is not willing that any should perish that includes you But all should come to repentance now remember if you're the deliverance ministry or the healing ministry Repentance is essential because chronic sin and hidden sin and Iniquity in the heart I Explained this on a couple of podcasts ago a person who sins For example steal something that's a behavioral sin but the sin of stealing is an Iniquity that was inside the person before they stole So your iniquity in your heart leads you to commit sins The iniquity is already there or you wouldn't do it Yeah, for example, I do not have any iniquity in my heart to steal things and As a result of that, I never steal anything. I don't I don't go around stealing things I don't feel comfortable that it's not part of me because I don't have any theft Iniquity inside me Everything that you are as a person is first inside you in the form of iniquity and is expressed as sin fear Lust Stealing lying It's all in here first and So God is saying clearly here If you'd be willing to come to repentance God is on your side. He's in Favor of it. He wants you to do that So you can be saved and he's patiently waiting for you Long suffering the Greek word means to be patient He's patiently waiting for you to change and he has been waiting for you to change for years and Only patience love and grace would allow him to wait this long for you to change You should have changed years ago, and you know it, but you didn't But judgment has not fallen on you because God Doesn't want anyone to panic perish. He wants everyone to come to repentance Check this out first Timothy chapter 2 verse 4 says God who will Have all men to be saved and To come to the knowledge of the truth that there is one God and one mediator between God and man Jesus Christ the Lord first Timothy chapter 2 specifically says Don't ever get involved in a kind of Darwinism or false fake teachings like that. That is total delusions It's demonic Darwinism is a lie Trash it Here's what you should believe listen to the word of the Lord God's will is what who will have all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth that there is one God and One mediator between God and man Jesus Christ the Greek word for will there in that verse is Thalo and it means wants to God wants to have all men saved Okay, the Greek word for all there is pass It means everybody everyone To be saved the Greek word for save there is so Joe So Joe delivered God wants everyone to be delivered and come to the knowledge of the truth. Here's the number one truth. There's one God One mediator between God and man it is God the son it couldn't be any clearer it could not be any clearer This is what God wants to do so if you're in the ministry you've got the upper hand you're the driver's seat God is already on your side and The answer is yes. He wants this person healed. He wants that person delivered. He wants to help you Couldn't be any clearer why because God's a good God the Bible says God is love. That's how it works That's how it works. I Have worked with people believe it or not for years For years I've been a counselor for four years. I got the patience of Job. I Worked with people for years waiting for them to come to repentance and Acknowledging truth. I literally have people on my counseling staff. I have a staff of counselors at the Arizona Deliverance Center and One of the counselors on the staff I waited for 12 years to come 12 years I met this person Years ago, they would not repent. They would not change and Every once in a great while I would drop them a note. I would send an email Some some little thing like that just little little drops over the years, you know and The person finally came and now Is doing a fantastic job Counseling and delivering people at the Deliverance Center I have been working with some people for a decade waiting for them to come to repentance and to acknowledge truth and Yeah, I have had a lot of Failures, that's correct. I have in my office a list of people literal list literal the filling a page of dead people People who have died Who would not change they would not listen? End of the end of story and They're dead okay Yeah, I've lost some people and through patience some have Finally come around But I knew that God was gonna forgive him I knew that God had grace for them and for all their sin and Their hardcore sinners all of it, but I knew because of God's words That there was a possibility They could repent and come back Last Friday night at my service.  I have a A Woman with schizophrenia. I've been working with for I think six years and I have another one who has schizophrenia.  Okay, let's go Let's go back to the love of God. Let's go back to grace now You got a repent and soon as she does the grace of God Does it again? Drives out the spirits and I have another schizophrenic I've been working with I think for 10 or 11 years and she has monstrous fear spirits Fear demons and I hear from her every six or eight months. I had her scheduled for an appointment again to come in for prayer She no showed at that appointment fear got her again, and I said well, okay. We'll just let it go Patience is worth it because you will be pulling some out of the fire. You're gonna pull some people out of the fire But understand and know that the grace of God and the love of God is always available for you No matter what you've done no matter how bad your sin is the grace of God is always there What is the purpose of God with your life? Couldn't be couldn't be any clearer He brews chapter 2 verse 14 through death Jesus might destroy Him that had the power of death that is the devil and To deliver them who through the fear of death Where all their life subject to? Bondage now, let's break that verse down quickly through death Jesus might destroy Greek word is catargeo. It means to abolish or wipe out the devil Because the devil has the power of death Greek word is kratus kratus means The dominion the domination of death he has Control of it and you can tell by looking in our world Death is his specialty It's his specialty and The purpose of God was sending Jesus To wipe him out and deliver them Who through the fear of death were all their lives subject to bondage Greek word do Leah? Slavery That's the purpose of God is to wipe out the devil in your life He brews chapter 2 verse 14 and 15 and specifically says it right there First John chapter 3 couldn't be any clearer verse 8 for this purpose Was the son of God manifested that he might destroy The works of the devil The Greek word for destroy there is luo, which means to Untie or unchain or unloose Luo dayo is the opposite tie it you're tied up you're chained up The purpose of the son of God it specifically says it right here first John 3a was to loose The works of the devil what works? the damage he's caused to you emotionally and mentally and physically and spiritually all the damage he's done to you and your family you and your friends To your finances to your career To your marriage to your children He swept through your life and had a finger in every Bad thing you can imagine. These are his works. That's what he does. It's what he's supposed to do That's how he rolls But the purpose of The Lord Jesus was to loose you from all of these bondages all of it and in the end you will be loosed from the bondage of death Through eternal life and the rapture and a new resurrected Body similar to the one that Jesus has You are not going to die You are going to have eternal life.  Check out the Great Commission Not for us. That's an that's at the end of Matthew Mark and Luke But the Great Commission that God gave Jesus Jesus was on the Great Commission from father Luke chapter 4 verse 18 Jesus quotes Isaiah chapter 61. It says the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me To preach the gospel to the poor. That's the Greek word when Galeon it means glorious good news He has anointed me to preach Good wonderful news to the poor The poor He has sent me to heal the Broken heart of that's the Greek word soon tribo. It means people who are Shattered emotionally shattered mentally ill the emotionally ill the heart broken That's what God was sent to do. That's why Jesus came. He was anointed to heal your broken heart He was anointed to quote preach deliverance To the captives the Greek word for deliverance. There's Ephesus. It means freedom Like somebody walking out of jail for the first time in 20 years there They have this enormous sense of freedom come over He preaches deliverance freedom to the captives and to recover sight to the blind. That's not just physical. It's spiritual Blind people can be physically and spiritually blind And it says he also was anointed to set at liberty same Greek word as deliverance previously Ephesus to set at liberty to Set free Those that are bruised You can be physically bruised. You can be emotionally bruised. You can be mentally bruised and and Anointing of Christ was to set you free from these things and It says he sent me to preach the acceptable year of the Lord and that year is 2022 That year is now You have a chance to be free now and Free of all these things that Jesus mentioned and the prophet mentioned in Isaiah 61 during their evangelistic Crusades in the book of Acts an Amazing statement was made about Jesus by the Saints Acts chapter 10 verse 38 It is the theme of our ministry hardcore Christianity comm It says God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and Power He went about doing good healing all That were oppressed of The devil cut the Duna stool is the Greek word for oppression It means to dominate to beat down To control through intimidation That the Duna stool Domination that is the purpose that Jesus came to relieve you of this demonic satanic oppression That has attacked your life. You can be free of it Now notice something funny in this verse here. It's very interesting. It says God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and dunamis power and power Do you notice those two are separated? Yeah, because most Christians All Christians all born-again Christians actually have the Holy Ghost, but few have Holy Ghost power What are you talking about? In order to develop the dunamis power of the Holy Ghost it has to be exercised used applied You have to Practice the anointing and most Christians won't do that. They just want somebody to pray for them They just want to sit there and do nothing if you want to have a Holy Ghost ministry You have to step out by faith and practice That anointing you have to release that anointing See that Having the Holy Ghost isn't good enough You need Holy Ghosts power Dunamis power and the only way to do that is to develop it and He the Holy Ghost teaches you and trains you how to Develop that power where Jesus had both He had the Holy Ghost without measure John chapter 3 and he had dunamis power from the Holy Ghost without measure And that's how he performed all those spectacular incredible miracles in Matthew Mark Luke and John it was absolutely amazing His dunamis Holy Ghost anointing and his supernatural power was hard to believe It was off the hook literally great and so you needed you need to have both the Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit dunamis power and That way you will be able to help people who are being oppressed beaten down pounded down hammered down by the devil It couldn't be any clearer in the world in the word could be a clear and if you'll notice Jesus went through his ministry Matthew Mark Luke and John Doing exactly that give the example Matthew chapter 4 verse 24 So they brought to him all the sick people That were taken with diseases torments possessed with devils lunatics palsy and He healed them all why because he had the Holy Ghost and The dunamis power of the spirit without measure And so in America Satan Strategy against clearly Christians is brilliant literally brilliant Because he fills him up with so many things that do during the day and they're so busy during the day And they're so tired at the end of the day That they don't have any time to develop their dunamis and So they just continue on as a Christian with the Holy Spirit But having no real effect of healing and deliverance On anybody around them They're just constantly Writing the bus, but they never get off But Jesus got off the bus here. You can see that he handled People who came to and they brought everyone to him who had diseases. That's a Greek Greek word Nossus it means some kind of a sickness that got into your body. It's a physical illness It says he healed the people that were in torments Basanas is the Greek word there. It means to be tortured To be tortured, you know like the CIA tortures people Like Saddam Hussein used to torture Shia Muslims Remember that torture. That's what the devil does.  Those are his works. That's the symptoms of demons Matthew 424 says he was Healing people who were possessed with devils Greek word dymonian means demons and The Greek word for possessed there is demon needs of mine. It means to be under the control of a spirit to a greater or lesser extent it's a sliding scale word Diamond needs of mine. It doesn't mean to be possessed like You know the exorcist People can be diamond needs of mine Demonized is a better term to use and not be possessed. Okay, by the way Christians can't even be possessed That's not even possible. The Holy Spirit lives in the spirit man The demons can't get into the spirit man, so they can't possess a Christian That's not possible But humans can be possessed no question. I've seen I've seen possessed humans I've done street ministry before I used to have a jail ministry. I used to have a prison ministry. I Used to minister at the state hospital in Arizona. I've seen possessed people Christians cannot be possessed, but they can be Demonized or under the control of a spirit They can be infected with a spirit in their body Causing a physical illness or in their brain causing a mental illness. That's true, but they're not possessed That's not how it works Dennis says Jesus was healing people who were lunatics. Okay Selenium I is the Greek word it technically means to be moon struck the theory was thousands of years ago that Whenever there was a full moon People would mentally go crazy and they called them lunatics later Okay, what was really happening was that the demons in the brain of the patient would manifest Tremendously during a full moon Trying to get people to think that the moon had something to do with it has nothing to do with it It's all demons now these lunatic spirits.   It doesn't work like that. It's a growth system Every if you look back over the Great Faith healers Catherine coolman Wigglesworth John Lake sister Etter all Those are the superstars They never started out like that They were all trained They were all led through a process of learning they all developed enormous patience and endurance and They kept going even though the devil threw everything at him, but the kitchen sink and their lives were Four-minute and they were Facing enormous hurdles in life They kept persevering and as they went They developed their doonimus power and at the result of that was they were capable of Through the grace of God enormous capacities for healing and deliverance Wigglesworth for example had enormous power over demons there These Dean these lunatic demons I mentioned that Jesus were casting out. He had the capacity to cast those out Most people do not It takes years to develop your doonimus and the point simply being you need to get started right now You got to hit this thing More than a lick you've got to go after it And God is calling you to go after it He doesn't want you just sitting in a church ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth That's not God's will God's will is for you To become a warrior and you are to do what Paul told Timothy I want you to war a good warfare God wants you ready to go and in order to do that you have to understand That is God's will to heal it's God's will to deliver God's a good God God is love and grace Applies to your situation and the situation of the others of others that you are Trying to help now Ken Can everybody be healed? No. Why is that because repentance won't occur in everyone? Everyone has free will and you don't have control over somebody else's free will you don't have that You can't control someone else's free will and God will not control it He refuses to do it the devil would be happy to do it He'll lie to you cheat you go do you push you he'll do anything to get you To turn over your free will to him Your heavenly father will not do that the Holy Ghost waits for you to voluntarily Give him Your free will and so you have to be deadly serious Because now we've only got a few years left to the rapture hits everybody can see it There's an anybody that can't see it now. You got to have your ostrich head in the sand Not to see it the judgments in Revelation the prediction in the revelation that the river Euphrates would dry up You remember that? It's actually happening The river Euphrates is at record low levels. It's drying up It's happening right now You remember in Revelation 18 about the city of Babylon It's being rebuilt right now Do you remember the predictions in Revelation about the fourth temple The Jews have the plans for the fourth temple right now They're gonna take over the mount and they're gonna rebuild the Jewish temple They're planning on it right now All of these things are happening right in front of our eyes boom right there And you only have a few years less and you've got to make the best of it Because you have one life you will not get another reincarnation is a lie when you die You do not come back as anything or anybody else You take to heaven What you have done and you are judged at the judgment seat of Christ for what you've done That's it. Nothing can change it So right now in Jesus name You are going to make major changes in your life And you are going to use the love of God and the purpose of Christ to destroy the works of the devil And you're going to use them for the rest of your life.
