It was a video I felt like I had to make, but I had no fun making it, and I did not take any joy in uploading it and having you guys watch it. It was one of the rare occasions where it was a video I almost didn't want to make, but I felt like I had to. And I honestly didn't think many people were even going to watch it because it didn't have Nintendo Switch in the title, but it turns out that video did really well and a lot of people saw me trash on their favorite games. So even though I've loved hundreds of games I've reviewed and there's just a small handful I haven't liked, I still fully expect that when I go through this list of games that haven't disappointed me recently, that people will leave the inevitable comment of, oh he didn't like Kingdom Hearts 3, but he liked this game. Trust me, I got that a lot after I didn't enjoy Xenoblade 2. So hopefully you'll find a new game that you or your friends can play together in this video. Maybe you're just here to see what I like instead of Kingdom Hearts 3. Either way, so let's start with one that took us all by surprise about a week ago in that Nintendo Direct, Tetris 99. I can't remember the last time I saw a gaming craze take off as quickly as the Battle Royale craze. I mean when Minecraft blew up we saw building games pop up all over the place, but it almost wasn't like the literal war that Battle Royale is, where these games are constantly fighting to be the number one Battle Royale game. And amongst all of these terribly bad attempts at getting into the Battle Royale market and then the ones that actually are pretty fun, you have one that really came out of left field. And it seems like a meme, like someone somewhere at Nintendo headquarters jokingly said what about Tetris Battle Royale and then someone else took that idea way too seriously and ran with it. As soon as I downloaded it that night after the Direct I was instantly hooked. I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I didn't end up playing Final Fantasy for like 2 or 3 nights after that because every night I would go to bed with my Tetris 99. If you haven't played it yet and you're confused as to how it works and why it's so addicting, let me explain it. The actual playing Tetris side of it is basic Tetris, I don't think I have to explain that. But the 98 other rectangles to your left and right on the screen, they are literally other players playing in real time competing against you. And as they clear lines of blocks on their screen, they will send junk from their game into other players games. Now for the most part, this is random where all the junk gets sent to. You will see yellow lines attached to your screen from their screens and that's who's currently attacking you. At the top of your screen here you can have it set to 1 of 4 things and you can change this as many times as you want while you play. You can have it set to attack random players or attack people that are attacking you and I do think there is some kind of strategy here as to who to attack and when, but for the life of me, I can't really figure it out, I just do my best to concentrate on what's happening in my game. Now for those young'uns in here that didn't grow up with Tetris, Tetris is actually a pretty addicting game on its own right. I don't know how many of you will remember these, but back before I had my Gameboy Advance, my first handheld system was essentially a Tetris machine. I think it said like 1 in 99 games on it, it had a weird little bump groove in the middle of it, you had your buttons on the bottom half, the screen on the top half, I think it played a bunch of other games, I don't know, I was just there for Tetris and I ran the batteries and that thing dry on a daily basis. I loved me some Tetris and even as a kid, it was very addicting. As soon as you start playing with 98 other people and you're competing for a top spot, it just takes a game that was already hard to put down and makes it borderline impossible to put down. And hey, assuming you have Nintendo Online, this one is free, so you may as well try it out. Speaking of Battle Royale games, I actually didn't want to talk about this one. Second, I wanted to get a little bit further into the video to build some respect and credibility from those that might be new around here, but since we're already on this train of thinking, I'm going to talk about Apex really quickly. You guys already know my hidden shame that I loved Fortnite. Like, it's not even a matter of I liked the game, I loved the game. A lot of you might sigh, roll your eyes, think you had more respect for me than that, maybe even turn the video off and move on with your lives, but consider this, the amount of hours I put into that game, the amount that I actually did enjoy that game, I only talked about it one time and I only streamed it one time. I didn't overplay that thing to death, I kept it to myself. And I'm going to do the same with Apex. I'm going to keep this really short and sweet and say that I love it. I actually think it's better than Fortnite. I feel like it takes a lot of elements from PUBG and Fortnite, but refines them in its own way. I really enjoyed the visuals and the atmosphere of the game. It kind of feels more like hunger games. Like when I think of Battle Royale, I kind of want to think about dropping myself into an area filled with people trying to kill me and I'm doing my best to survive. And as fun as Fortnite was, it never really felt like that. It was very cartoony and gimmicky and people building things and how big can you make your structure and that's really the key to victory, which again, I liked, but this feels more grounded, knowing who the champion is in every match and seeing that banner scattered all over the place and knowing that you're truly just fighting for your life with your two allies. And again, I didn't really even like squads in Fortnite. I preferred going solo, but I do like being in teams for this. That's what I'm going to say about it. It's another free game. So you may as well check it out. I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. By the way, those two games were really the ones that were like, I know the comment down below is going to be, he likes Apex, doesn't like Kingdom Hearts 3. Oh, and this might be the last chance I have to remind you guys in a timely fashion that I will be at SoKa Retro Gaming Expo this weekend. You're watching this in the future. It ain't going to be this weekend. Don't go looking for me. The con won't even be there. The dates are the 23rd and the 24th. If you want to get your tickets before you go, you can use my code beatemups to check out, get 10% off. It helps me to help you, it helps you to help me. I'll even have a panel on Saturday at 11 o'clock in the morning and I'll just answer questions. I don't prepare anything. I'm too lazy. With that being said, I really do hope I see you guys there. I'm super excited for it. Oh, and Kim will be there too. Well, of course, I've already said that a bunch, but she will be. Next, we have a game that you might not have heard about unless you were really paying attention during the game awards and that's Ashen. This isn't the kind of game that I usually play, so it's not something I was invested in. I had no idea what it was. I heard about it during the game award and it was randomly just released that night, but the only reason I downloaded it is because there's two player co-op and my friend from high school, who I always play co-op games with, wanted to try this one out and so I went ahead and tried it out and I actually fell in love with it. You guys know that I'm not huge in a dark soul style games, so I definitely wouldn't check this one out on my own. I was instantly hooked by the visuals. At first glance, they look very minimalistic. I mean, your character doesn't even have a face, but as you progress through the game and go through some of these worlds and levels, it's honestly one of the most gorgeous games I have seen. Some of the locations in the game were just jaw-dropping for me and some of the enemy and character designs, I just never seen anything like it before. The entire world was captivating and just pure joy to explore and run around and kill things in and it's pretty hard too. I wouldn't say that it's dark souls hard. I wouldn't say it's one of the hardest games I've played, but me and my buddy, we died a lot. We were constantly having to run back and try and get our souls back or whatever they were called in this game. The boss fights were always something to look forward to. They were really intense and always a good challenge. And overall, just a very enjoyable experience. Again, my friend and I were always looking for co-op games. I mean, ever since high school, when I go around his house on the weekends and we play games together, we've just always liked keeping that alive. Even with me living on the other side of the world, we're always trying out anything that has co-op. Doesn't always work out and sometimes it's okay and we have fun, but we don't end up finishing that one. We move on to the next one. In between gameplay sessions, we would constantly message each other saying we couldn't wait for our next hit of Ashen and it's on Game Pass. So technically it's the third free game on this list, assuming you have Game Pass. And if you have an Xbox, you really should because Game Pass is great. The next game is also on Game Pass. Strange Brigade. It's almost literally the same story as Ashen. The same friend and I looking for co-op games to play, going through Game Pass, I actually spotted Strange Brigade and it looked awful. The thumbnail of it looked awful. It was a weird mummy head with Strange Brigade, which is not the name of a game. I feel like I would enjoy judging a book by its cover. I didn't think this one was gonna stick for us. I thought it would be one that we download, try out, delete to make room on our hard drive for the next one. But to both of our surprise, we ended up loving this experience. Countless times throughout the first and second levels of playing through this game, we would just stop and be like, huh, you know, this game's actually really good and keeps getting better and better. This isn't a word I use all that often, but it truly is a hidden gem. It's a Game Pass hidden gem. A co-op game for up to four players and I would highly recommend playing it in co-op, even if it's just you and one other friend. You're part of the Strange Brigade. There's a whole whimsical story and cartoony voiceover that goes with it. It doesn't take itself seriously at all.  In this case, mummies. But what really impressed us were the levels and the level designs. They were brilliant and it's not really like anything that I've seen before. Huge open areas or catacombs. There's always branching paths. Whenever you think a level might be coming to an end, it's really only getting started and you still have a ton more map to explore and each one of these levels is packed full of enemies, puzzles, secrets, Easter eggs, challenges, you name it. I mean, I'll start with the gameplay. It's classic arcadey fun. You'll have grenades, you'll have shotguns, you'll even have a special ability like the character I use can like bring an enemy towards it with like a force pull and then force push it away and have it explode. Every character has its own individual abilities and you can unlock more as you play.  Usually in these kind of games, even your triple A titles, the puzzles are kind of just your run of the mill stuff. You feel like you're going through the motions, not really that challenging, not that fun to complete but in Strange Brigade, they actually put a ton of thought into these puzzles and sometimes you need extra people to solve them or at least it makes it a lot easier. There was one door we had to open by stepping on a bunch of tiles in the right order and we really had to work together to step on these things in the right order and it made me feel like Indiana Jones in that one scene. Or was that the Goonies? I think it might have been both and other than the boss fights, the other thing I really look forward to each level is there'll be parts where you'll get bombarded with a horde of enemies, just waves and waves of loads of enemies doing their best to destroy you and you always have to trigger these parts to move on.  Again, in each one of these areas, the level designs are always great. They give you vantage points, they give you tunnels to run through that maybe have booby traps in them so you can kite enemies through certain areas and then trigger the booby trap to wipe a ton out at once and conserve your ammo that way or just drop a ton of explosives onto their heads. If you're looking for a co-op game and again, free on game pass, try out Strange Brigade. It might not be something you'll enjoy solo. In fact, honestly, I don't think it is something you'll super enjoy solo but if you have even just one friend you wanna play a game with, yeah, I really enjoy it. So I plan to talk a little bit about Final Fantasy IX in this video because that's what I've been playing the most as of most recently but I talked about those other games so much and I still wanna get to Resident Evil 2 and have enough time to talk about that game. So I think I'm gonna pretty much say Final Fantasy IX for one of my eShop videos because you know it's gonna be my highlight of my next 10 eShop games worth buying video. Yeah, I'll just leave it at that. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Honestly, I haven't played it since I was a kid really and it's better than I remember it. It's holding up so well. The character models are so crisp. I wanna say the pre-rendered backgrounds hold up but honestly the word hold up isn't even doing it justice. I still think it looks gorgeous today. And then those stunning cinematic cutscenes. Yeah, some of the faces look a little creepy now but everything else just looks stunning. Now I'll talk about it more in the next eShop video. Let's talk about Resident Evil because oh boy. Resident Evil 2 blew away any expectations I may have had about the game going into it. Growing up, I loved the first Resident Evil.  The second Resident Evil, I didn't love so much.  I don't know if it was the liquor, it was the liquor. It absolutely was the liquor. I hated that thing. And you know what, going into playing the remake, I was legitimately nervous. I'm gonna say it, scared because of the liquor because I had such horrible memories of it growing up as a kid. Fortunately, I'm able to separate myself from the video game a little bit better these days. I'm aware I'm playing a game. I was still on edge, still a very creepy game but I managed to power through it and finish it. I just loved the entire experience.  I'm able to laugh at it now, more than be scared at it. Visually and cinematically, wow, didn't they just do an incredible job with this game? This is how you do a remake. This is a shining example of how you do a remake. I don't think anyone could ever have done a remake of this game better than this. This is the gold standard of remakes. The gameplay's been refined. We don't have those tank controllers anymore that were absolutely insufferable and a very weird choice for a horror survival game. And now we have the more recently classic Over the Shoulder style that was introduced in Resident Evil 4 and been used since then and it just works brilliantly. I really don't have a complaint. Like maybe it's too short.  I'd say this is perfect. Like for what this game set out to do, it's a 10 out of 10 game, like hands down. And I feel like that's all I really wanna say about that game, just why I'm not gonna bother. I'm just gonna tell you I enjoyed it. I really, really enjoyed it. So yeah, some games I've been enjoying recently. I know it's a really weird mixed bag of nuts, but for the most part, I've already talked about and reviewed all the other games I've been enjoying. This is just kind of the leftovers, I guess. Games I usually wouldn't have reviewed if not for this video. If you liked this video or you want a little something, make sure you have a lip all over that subscribe button. Click or tap on this video right here because I'd really appreciate it. And if you're gonna see me this weekend in California, it's SoCal Retro Gaming Expert. Let me know down below so I can keep an eye out for you.  Probably not. Who would have that?


Here the SID display week and who are you? I'm Andrew Scully, I'm the CEO of Imagine Corporation. And you make micro-display all at micro-displays, right? Yes, that is correct. So what's the latest with your products? Well, the latest as one can see at SID is that we're making very high brightness on an advanced backplane. So if you talk to anybody in the VR or AR market, they will say, I want very high brightness in the VR because I want low persistence. They also therefore need very high brightness display. Ours is now 5,000 nits. We're demonstrating here at SID, 5,000 nits. So your Apple iPhone is rated at 500? Does that mean it's 10 times brighter? Yes. Per square inch or? Well, per square area, yes. Yeah, but isn't it too much to have so much brightness on an advanced backplane display? Remember I said low persistence. What that means is if I have 120 hertz, I want to put the display on for a fraction of that. So 120 hertz is eight milliseconds. I want the display on for one millisecond of that. That's about 10%. So therefore when I'm running the display, it has to be 10 times brighter because the rest of the frame, it's off. 10 times 200 to the eye is what, 2,000. Now your optics are not 100% efficient, are they? Let's say they're 50%, all of a sudden you need 4,000. That's why you need it. And this is OLED, the highest density OLED in the world? Well, pixel density, the display that we're showing is a 9.3 micron pixel pitch. So it's like 2,700 PPI, for example. We've made them higher PPI than that. It sounds like 10 times more than an iPhone or something. Oh yeah, yeah. Well, I know that there's an OLED direct view display that's under 600 PPI. So you're the CEO of the company and how long has it been doing this kind of technology? Oh, we've been doing the technology since before me. Our first active matrix OLED display sold was 2001. That's before anyone else sold an active matrix display. And that was not for head mounted, right? Well, yeah, because we sell to the defense industry which are all head mounted. So you have experience in doing head mounted for high requirement markets, but are you moving into consumer with these kinds of space? That's the idea because of the very high brightness. The consumer market needs that. So do some defense markets need that? And the displays are optimized for head mounted? Well, yeah. They're very high pixel density. There's many folks who want a little higher brightness, high brightness, of course, but also a little higher, a little larger size. This is 2K by 2K? Well, the one we're showing is 2K by 2K, but we can go higher than that, of course. And how big is the screen? Well, the screen is 19 millimeters, a little over 19 millimeter on the side, and that's the viewing area. All right, so soon enough, everybody's going to have this for AR. AR is a big future, right? Well, AR is a big future, but I kind of think that VR is going to come first. All right. And how's power consumption compared to other systems? No power consumption is fine, depends on how you run it. What is the usage model is very important. The other thing is the reason the defense market came to us in the first place is because of power consumption. And here, the SID display week here in Los Angeles, so what's going to be your goal here? What are you going to do? Connect with the companies that are going to see what the technology is out there. If there are companies looking for displays, that's great. We also are demonstrating the 5,000 nit display, candelopermeter squared with an advanced backplane. The other thing the backplane does is global addressing. Every pixel goes on at once. And having some presentations? Yeah, there are at least two of them by a colleague of mine. I have to go back to a board meeting so I'm not going to do one. He's taking my presentation for me.


What's going on guys it's your boy DPJ here today with another destiny video and in today's video we're taking a look at the new exotic warlock chest armor the alchemist raiment which comes with the Taken King. Now this was obtained by my brother from a legendary engram so many people get an exotic like a legend knows it's unbelievable.  Unfortunately its looks in my opinion are where the positives end on this piece of armor. Its main mods are iron to gold chance to gain glimmer and primal ammo pickups orbs collected when your super is full recharge your grenade and melee we then get to pick between one of two mods which basically gain either special or heavy ammo drops we then get one choice of another two mods we have arc armor increased armor when using an arc based subclass and we have arc burn defense which reduces incoming arc damage to be honest i take that back what i said about it's not being that good i mean i can see a few situations where this thing can be actually too handy arc burn nightfalls i can imagine this coming in very handy when you need that also important glimmer it wouldn't be too bad in that situation too but that's about it there definitely are better and more important exotics for you to use now if you guys do own this chest armor for the warlock let me know down below in that comment section your opinion on it if you enjoyed the video do drop a like i do appreciate the support subscribe for daily destiny and i'll catch you on the next one peace out until next time post


The reported incidents of the zoonotic malaria plasmogym nolisi has significantly increased across Southeast Asia, threatening malaria elimination. Model-based infant methods were used to estimate the individual case reproductive number, Rc, 4p, nolisi, p, falciparum, and p. Vivek's human cases in Malaysia from 2012 to 2020. The best-fitting models for p, nolisi indicated subcritical transmission, Rc, 1, suggesting that the parasite remains the primarily zoonotic infection. In contrast, sustained transmission, Rc, 1, was estimated historically for both p. Falciparum and p, Vivek's, with declining Rc values observed over time, which indicates local elimination. These results suggest that non-zoonotic transmission of p, nolisi is highly unlikely, and that new approaches are necessary to control spillover risks. This article was authored by Kimberley M. Fornes, Hilary M. Topazian, Isabel Routledge, and others. We are article.tv, links in the description below.


10. I want to make it clear, we have no issue with the government of Taiwan, no issue with the firm that the firm involved, we have absolutely no issue, the government has no issue with them. What the government has issue with is the way the government of St. Lucia handled these affairs, which puts undue pressure on other people because of their actions. When these transactions are done, there is need for a clear path. So the payments come directly from the contractor to the subcontractor. So OECC have not done one spade of work on St. Lucia. Subcontractors have done that. So for the firms to give the impression that they work on OECC, it's not true, it's done by a subcontractor. Very important. OECC is a reputable firm, they've worked everywhere in the region, a reputable firm. But the fact is, it's not a matter of reputable, it's a matter of ensuring that the finance act is followed and the assets of the people of St. Lucia are protected by making sure that there is no room, there is no room for anything improper to happen. 9. Prime Minister, Honourable Philippe J. Pierre and his cabinet of ministers continue to work to craft economic policies to strengthen consumer spending and ensure the retail costs of everyday goods remains affordable for the average St. Lucia household. However, consumer concerns regarding the seemingly increasing costs of sanitary products prompted the Consumer Affairs Department to conduct an investigation into vat registered retailers. Through commercial cooperation, we have been able to obtain this data and have noted with some disappointment, non-compliance in certain instances. Based on data extrapolated from the analysis conducted by our department, markups on sanitary products range from a whopping 90% to 155%, Mr Speaker. As the government works to end period poverty, policy decisions include the eventual addition of sanitary towels, napkins and other menstrual hygiene products on the government's designated list of priced controlled goods. 8. Youth parliamentarians have been given an opportunity to sharpen their skills for the upcoming Youth Parliament set for September 25 and 27 when they were briefed by House Speaker Honourable Claudius Francis and Senate President Senator Alvin Reynolds. Youth Parliament has been an annual feature from 1993 and has evolved over the years into the debate of actual bills that have been brought to Parliament. Previously, they would bring their own motions to be debated and when I became President in 2012, I thought, but if we are looking towards the youth, why not give them an actual bill that we ourselves would have debated at the higher level? 7. Youth Development Assistant in the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports and Founder of God's Anointed Music Ministry, GAAM, Shirley Ann Cyril Mears, organized a back-to-school concert on the Derek Walker Square last week to offer the school population some inspiration as they headed back to school at the start of a new academic year. 6. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development joined the rest of the region in commemorating Caribbean Wellness Day. As they collaborated with the Ministry of Health and Wellness and the Taiwan Technical Mission towards the farmers' market that not only showcased the offerings of the agriculture sector but also focused on the nutritional benefits of local purchasing. The farmers' market held at Constitution Park in Castries, brought together a diverse array of individuals, including 40 youth ambassadors from Taiwan as well as local farmers, entrepreneurs and consumers, creating an atmosphere of unity and sustainability within the agriculture sector. 5. An early warning system supports public health and security by providing a rapid response to the adverse changes in the drug phenomenon, thereby minimizing the risk associated with it. A national early warning system would allow for maintaining a surveillance system that includes information from multiple sources such as epidemiology, public health, forensic experts, national security and border agencies and community-based agencies. 4. Care will benefit from financial support from the St. Lucia Social Development Fund or SSDF, which has once again partnered with the Department of Education, Innovation and Vocational Training to fund its students' intervention program, known as the Post-Primary Alternative Parkway or PAT. New participants in the program were presented with laptop computers to ensure they have the tools necessary to take advantage of the program's emphasis on unique instruction. Because the program falls in line with the mandate of the SSDF, which is to provide opportunity to the most vulnerable people in all society to improve the quality of life. 3. World Patient Safety Day will be observed on 17 September 2023 under the theme, Engaging Patients for Patient Safety. Patient Safety Day serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to create a culture of safety within the healthcare system. 2. On 10 September, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs joined with the World Health Organization in recognizing and supporting World Suicide Prevention Day under the theme, Creating Hope Through Action. This theme has been in use from 2021 to 2023 as a call for action for stronger decision-making practices and an understanding that our actions can inspire hope and increase measures that prevent suicide. 1. Ladies and Gentlemen, Today on the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer or WHOLE Ozone Day 2023, we come together to celebrate a remarkable milestone. Today we can proudly say that this collective effort has borne fruit as we witness the gradual recovery of the ozone layer thanks to the phase out of almost all ODSs at the Global Layer.


I am one of the co-founders of NFU Labs. NFU is an AI driven company, developing products in the field of analytics and cybersecurity. As an organization, we predominantly work with large victim prices and defence agencies and the redmore enforcement agencies across the country. Some of our customers include the largest paramilitary forces in the world. At NFU, we have a state-of-the-art predictive intelligent platform called Proficy. Proficy is a big data-article platform which takes data from a multitude of sources, could be unstructured data such as text document, could be videos and images, could be structured databases spread across the organization. We correlate all those data sources into our big data repository and then AI models on that and start predicting events which are likely to happen. The framework is specifically tailored for law enforcement agencies as well as defence forces. A lot of people have asked this question, you know, when the entire world was moving into the corporate sector or developing technologies for the corporate sector, why was NFU focused at these areas? Let me give you certain case studies of what we have achieved with Proficy and maybe that will explain why we do or why we love doing what we do. You know, one of the recent cases that we did, a state police department, digital police for that matter, used only one module of our solution to identify 3,000 missing children in a duration of four days as the first actual use case of AI for social welfare. Imagine a situation where, you know, 4-3,000 kids, missing kids are reunited with their families. This is the power of AI. For one of the largest paramilitary forces in the world where we are predicting infiltration hotspots, places where infiltration can take place, when can it take place, what are the parameters which are affecting that, that this is making a value change to millions of people. Every crime that we are able to prevent ends up saving lives, ends up saving property. This is not just exciting, this is also need of the art. And this is a space which requires cutting edge technology intermixed with a lot of domain expertise. At NFU, we have an eight-year domain expertise in the field of security and surveillance. Not just for law enforcement agencies, but also for large enterprises. Our big data radical platform takes data in terms of videos and images, in unstructured data, audio recordings, converts all that data into statistical statistics on which RAI models run to predict frauds in case of insurance sector. For law enforcement, we predict events before they can take place. And for multiple other sectors like banking and financial, we are also able to identify a lot of frauds. What we intend to do as we go away is to move from business to business to actually business to business where we can provide security at a consumer level.


We've all been to re-enlistments. Most often they occur at quarters with shipmates and family members present. Occasionally you hear about people re-enlisting in exotic locations, underwater or in-flight, but rarely do you hear about a re-enlistment taking place at the top of a crane or while free-falling from a plane or even on your ship's anchor while underway. The only requirement for a re-enlistment ceremony is that it's conducted in a dignified manner that appropriately reflects the importance of the oath that the sailor is taking. The bottom line is it's your re-enlistment ceremony. It symbolizes your commitment to the Navy and it's something that should be celebrated. If you want to have a ceremony that is unique, think ahead. Talk to your chain of command. Get them involved and make your ceremony something that you will remember for a lifetime.


Hello everyone. Welcome back to another Premiere Pro tutorial. This one going to show you how to do a bass bounce, a bass drop, or a bass shake effect. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Then I'll show you step by step how to do it. That's all there is to it. That's what the effect looks like. It's just a bass drop effect. How did I do it? Let's just start from scratch and I'll show you. So I'm just going to delete all of that good stuff. The first step is I'm going to go ahead and drag and drop some footage on the timeline like I've done here and then I'm just going to zoom in a little bit.  Drag and drop that onto audio track two. In this case this video has no audio so you could unlink it like I'm going to do here. I'm going to unlink it and I'm just going to delete that track. So there's just this track. Now the next step and this is an unnecessary step but I like to do it. Go here between the A1 and the A2. Pull this down. Oh I missed it. Let's try again. What I'm going to do is I just want to increase the size of the audio. Also you're going to see this white line. Because I'm doing a tutorial I'm going to pull this quite a bit down and I'm going to reduce the loudness so that it doesn't blow your ears out. So I'm going to drop it down 12 decibels. That is not necessary if you're doing this though. So again I'm just showing you the steps. The next step here is I'm going to go through the audio and I'm going to mark it. I need to mark where the bass drop occurs. So I know that it occurs around the 5 second mark. So I'm just going to move forward and when I hear the bass drop I'm going to hit space bar and when I hear the bass drop I'm going to press the M key to mark it. Watch this. Now when I hit M at the bass drop you're going to see that it's dropped these two little pylon, these two little symbols here. Now these are sticky symbols so if I hold shift key down and I can move between them they're going to stick. You're going to feel them as if they're guides. So just keep that in mind. So I hit the M key so we've set the bass drop points. Now we're going to go over here to the project panel. I'm going to click on this little new item here and I'm going to create an adjustment layer and it doesn't matter just click OK. Drag and drop the adjustment layer onto the timeline anywhere for now. I'm just going to go right there. Move the playhead to the beginning of the adjustment layer. Now what you need to do is once you're at this point press the right arrow key four times. One, two, three, four and then just shorten this to that period. So what I've done is I've got a four frame adjustment layer so I've got that. Now I'm going to move that to the first bass drop point so you'll see here that that line occurs and it goes right through it. That's a sticky line so I'm going to drop that there and what I'm going to do now is I'm going to move and I'm going to go back to the effects panel and I'm going to do two effects. The first one you want to apply is a magnify effect. Search magnify in the search bar like I've done here. Click on it. Drag and drop it onto the adjustment layer. Very important that it goes on the adjustment layer. All right. There we go. Now I'm gone to the beginning of the adjustment layer. I'm going to click on magnify in my effect controls panel and I'm going to move this and I'm going to increase the size to 110. So basically I'm just basically doing like about a 10 percent increase so it's like a quick jolt. So it goes up 10 percent in scale then it goes back down. So let's see what we've got so far. Here we go. We've got the little 10 percent jolt. Now the next step this is also optional but I like to do it. I'm going to type in blur and you get a couple of different blurs and I'm going to go down here and I'm going to select fast blur. Grab fast blur and drag it and drop it on the adjustment layer as well. Now you're going to see blur. You're going to see magnify and then fast blur. For fast blur I'm going to go ahead and increase it to about 25. So when the base drop occurs the image has a little bit of a blur effect. Now let's see what it looks like. There we go. That is a perfect base drop. I can also hold down the Alt or the Option key if you're on a PC or a Mac whichever one you're on and just move this and now I've got a second base drop. So if I move the slider to here and I there it is. That's all you need to know guys. Thanks for watching.


Mind is very simple for me because if you take away your attention, it just dies. California may be beautiful, but people can be in hell, isn't it?  Everybody must do a little bit of engineering within themselves to see that being peaceful and joyful is not a challenge. Once this happens, your intelligence will function in a completely different way. Namaskaram, everybody. Hi, Sagar Guru. Thank you for sitting down here. So I want to jump right in, and there's a quote from Yogananda. He says, you can control a mad elephant, you can walk in water and live in fire, but control of the mind is better and more difficult. And I've certainly found that for myself.  Why is it so hard for us to manage our mind as people? I have no such problem because I lost it long time ago. When you don't have it, you don't have to control it, you know? Because it's a very, very impaired notion that people think intelligence is somewhere here. This is a living cosmos. It's an intelligent cosmos. We are just tiny, one tiny product, minuscule product. And now we think we have so much intelligence, and we have to control it, manipulate it, use it. I have no such issues. I gave it up long time ago. Yeah, so mad elephant I wouldn't want to control because I've seen them, what they can do. Mind is very simple for me because if you take away your attention, it just dies. If you keep your attention and try to control it, that's crazy. So why is human mind an issue? Your mind is just an antenna, not the source of intelligence. Intelligence is everywhere. Unfortunately, people who are deprived of basic ease in their life have described the source of creation or they say God is peace. Those who are deprived of love in their life, they say God is love.   We even know we didn't make it. So when we cannot figure who made all this, somebody makes up a simple story. There is one big man sitting up there who makes all this. Well today women are arguing, why can't it be a woman? This argument is going on everywhere, different things. I must tell you this, in some of the southern churches these arguments going on, why can't God be a woman? As you know, a couple of elections ago you tried to settle it. You know what happened? Last election, why a couple? And there are arguments like this, you heard of Idi Amin, the Uganda man.  I also agree with him.  What's the problem?  In India we know God is brown because Indians believe God landed in India himself. Not his son, not his messenger himself, nine times. Nine times he came to India. So Indians, especially Indians who are living outside the country are very proud of this. God came to our land himself, nine times. So I keep reminding them that is because God wouldn't trust anybody with Indians. He wanted to do the job hands-on. So he himself came nine times and failed. Failure is obvious. Nine or ten times you can debate, but failure is obvious. What I'm saying is, the idea of God or a certain source which could be in some human form or animal form or whatever has essentially come because you've not paid attention to the creation. The ideas come only because you have no explanation for the creation. But if you pay enough attention, we don't know God loves you or not. We don't know whether God is peaceful or not. We don't know whether God is compassionate or not. But if you pay attention to this flower or this leaf or a blade of grass, you can see whoever created this is brilliant. Simply no question. Everywhere you see, every atom you see, it's intelligence, intelligence, intelligence. But nobody said God is intelligence. That's a biggest mistake we've made. We said all kinds of things, whatever we need, we say God is wealth, if you are poor. If you are hungry, you say God is food. If you have a backache, you'll say God is health. Everybody, whatever they're deprived of, they will make it into that. Leave all these things. Just take one piece of creation, take an ant and pay attention to him. You will see it's the most brilliant creation. But we never said God is intelligence. So this is a living intelligence, everything here is very cosmos. In this, where do I think I'm intelligent? If you find access to the intelligence there is, you can function in a phenomenal way. But within this bone box, if you think everything that needs to be there is in this, then all you will do is suffer your intelligence. Now you think a mad elephant is easier to handle than your mind. So you must be madder than the mad elephant. I don't know who said that. But for me, my body, my mind is never a problem. It always cooperates because that's what it's supposed to do. My body and my mind should take instructions from me, only then it's a useful instrument. If it's start doing its own things, then it's a nuisance. And this is what is happening to most people, that their mind is the biggest nuisance in the world. They would be better off without a brain. Yes. If you remove half the brain, everybody is going about struggling to be peaceful.  So is that the goal I'm asking? There is a possibility that is, if you do not harness that possibility, it becomes a major problem. And you don't know how to harness it. Because you do not know whether it's a horse or an elephant or a cow or a deer. When you do not know the nature of something, how do you deal with it? Suppose right now here there's a cup sitting here. In my mind, I think this cup is three feet in diameter. Now I will try to lift it like this. How much ever I do, this cup will not come in my hands. Now I think this cup is a serious problem. Because first of all, I have no perception what the cup is. Right now that's all the human problem is. They have no understanding of what their mind is. They're trying to analyze the content. Content is what you picked up, isn't it? Content is what you picked up in terms of life's experiences. This content is of no use. You can distance yourself from it very effortlessly. The problem is the nature of the mind. How does it function? What is the basis of its existence? If you do not comprehend the nature of the mind, well it feels like a mad elephant, why not? And you believe you can handle a mad elephant? Then you've not seen one, I've seen one. Oh, you don't want to be anywhere there. When an elephant goes mad, when it goes amok, oh, you don't want to be there anywhere in one kilometer. And most of us don't want to be anywhere near our own minds because our minds do act like that. And I think one of the great lessons I heard you talking about yesterday is the ability to observe the mind. As you said, if you don't understand the mind, how can you use it as the tool that it is? But the distance that's necessary to actually observe it, is that what you credit your ability to let go of the challenging aspects of the mind? The willingness to give some separation and observe your own mind? Say, right now I see you are a well-exercised man, all right? You have strength in your arm. Is it a problem? No. Does it punch you once in a while? Not usually.  It doesn't. So it's not a problem. So all this strength is not a problem because it doesn't punch you. Similarly, whatever is the nature of the mind, this is also one more dimension like your arm. Your arm is here to do this, that and that. Your mind is here to do that, that and that. But now it punches you. So there must be something wrong with the relationship, isn't it? Yes. That's what we need to look at. Nothing wrong with the mind. We're not holding it right. When I say holding it right, if I ask you a simple question, would you like your mind to be sharp or blunt? Sharp. Sharp. So now I will give you a very sharp knife, very sharp one. I must tell you this, we were trekking in Tibet. So I'm staying in a tent and I'm doing some work, I'm writing something. Somebody else there is cutting an apple with one of those, you know, those new porcelain knives. So another person who is there in the tent says, be careful, it's a very sharp knife. This irritates me because I call something a knife, only if it's sharp. If it's a child, if you're five, seven, eight-year-old child, yes. This is a grown-up man. You don't tell him it's a sharp knife. Then I just look at it and then I continue my work. Again another two minutes, again they say, be careful, it's a very sharp knife. I said, come on, leave him alone. He's a grown-up man, he doesn't know knife is sharp. What is the problem? Is it such a complicated instrument, he cannot handle it. He said, no, Sadhguru, it's a very sharp knife.   And then I continue to work and this person whispers to that person, be careful, it's very sharp. Another two minutes, that guy cuts his hand, I give up.  So if I give you a sharp instrument, you must know how to hold it, isn't it? Got to know where the handle is. If you do not know which is the handle, which is the blade, if you hold the blade tight, of course it'll hurt. This is the only problem with the mind, you're holding it from the wrong end. So for those of us, I've studied the mind, I've gone through many practices, I've tried to figure out where the handle is and usually a lot of times I can hold the handle, but sometimes I find myself and there's blood in my hand because I'm holding the blade. Before I even realized that I grabbed the blade, I wake up in the morning and I feel anxiety in my chest because I feel like I must do something more and there's something more I need to do and I'm just burning with this anxiety and I know that's just my mind. It doesn't help me, but still I can't find the handle again. What is the advice you give people like me who are trying their best to find the handle of their own mind but keep finding the blade? They're trying their best through what means. They're using their mind to find their mind. It is like you hire the local crook as a police man. I think a lot of times it's happened in LA. You handle... you hire the local criminal as the police in charge. Oh, you will see crime will happen smoothly without any problems, isn't it? So that's all that's happening for most people, crime is happening smoothly to a point where doctors are telling them anxiety is normal. It happens to everybody. I'm also anxious, I'm also popping pills, you also pop pills.  See, if you fall asleep, it helps, isn't it? If you get intoxicated, it helps. I'm saying the further advancement of that is if you fall dead, it helps. That's why they say rest in peace because they know that the guy never rested all his life. So where is the handle? See, we are looking at this with a certain limitation. Right now, there is something called an intellect. That is the thing that you want it to be sharp because it's a survival instrument. Without your intellect, you cannot survive in this world. And intellect functions only from the data that you receive from the five sense organs of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. Beyond that, it cannot function.  You can't do nothing because your intellect is like your computer without data. Suppose no data on your computer, it may be a super computer, blank, that is the nature of your intellect. It only functions from its data, but it must be sharp. Now, is it okay? Can we go into this in detail? Yes, please. So in yoga, we look at human mind as sixteen parts. But today, considering the time, we'll make it into four segments. These are called buddhi, ahankara, manas and chitta. Buddhi means the intellect, ahankara means identity, manas means a silo of information. There are eight different forms of memory here. There is conscious memory, there is unconscious memory, there is articulate memory, there is inarticulate memory, there is genetic memory, there is evolutionary memory, there is elementary memory, like this various dimensions of memories are built into us. See, right now, there is evolutionary memory in you that you're a human being. And that's why the body has constructed itself like this. Suppose somewhere here, your DNA forgets, then this may become a buffalo. Yes, evolutionary memory, do what you want, you cannot confuse it, it is so on the thing. Ten generations ago, how your great-great-great-great grandfather looked like, do you remember? No. No.  Your body absolutely remembers. A million years ago, how your forefathers were, even the texture of the skin it remembers. So, what you're calling as myself is a product of very complex memories of evolutionary, genetic, karmic, various types of memories. So, all these memories together are providing data for your intellect to function in a certain way to figure out how to use this memory for this situation, all right? But there is a dimension between this manas and buddhi, between the silo of memory and the sharp knife in the front that you call as your intellect. Between this, there is a hand that holds it, which is the identity. How you identify yourself, with what you identify yourself, that is how your intellect will interpret the memory. See, right now you get identified, let's say with your nation. Now for this nation, I'm willing to live, I'm willing to die, all right? Or you identified with your race. You're willing to die, I'm willing to kill, willing to whatever, you know? Whatever your identity is, your intelligence will function only that way. See, people won't understand when somebody thinks something is absolutely right and you think this is the dumbest thing because the identity is like that, isn't it? It's always telling stories. No, it is the identification. See, right from your childhood, the identification has been built of your gender, of your race, of your religion, of your nationality, of your ethnicity and individually so many other things that each individual will do to themselves, of their education, of their social status, of whatever else. Right now your teacher is saying, for the good of all, what disease is about, just because you say it, all are not going to be good, but within yourself, you want to make your identity with everybody. You want to make your identity as large as possible, that's the idea. We would like to make this identity cosmic, but we don't know where it is cosmos, so at least make it global. Because now, if your identity is like this, your memory, your intelligence, together we'll combine and try to address everything from a larger identity.  Yes.   This is the whole thing, isn't it? Because I'm identified with my country and what is my country? Somebody drew a map and told me this is your country, this is you, only this way you're you, otherwise you're not you. So I'm so strongly identified with my country, I'm willing to kill the whole world for the sake of my country or my community or my family or myself. If it's myself, people will say, see, he's a selfish man. If he's family in America, it's very appreciated. In India, it's seen as corruption. I will fight for my family in America, it's a good quality. I'll fight for my community is a good thing for somewhere else. I'll fight for my nation is largely good almost everywhere in the world. But if your identity is beyond all these limited identifications, then your intelligence will function in a completely different way. So this hand, which holds the knife and which is rooted in the memory, this is not taken care of in modern societies. We are all standing up and singing national anthems. Well, I started writing a global anthem almost ten years ago. I announced this in the economic forum and I said, we should do a global anthem. Why are why are children not learning a global anthem?  Because only then their intelligence will work for everybody's good.  I will not because my identity is like this. Don't think they're good people, bad people. They're just identified with that. So there is good and bad is just depends on what we are identified with. And it's a good people who are always fighting, bad people don't fight so much.  Bad people, criminals I'm saying. Good people, it is a good Indian who is willing to fight with a good Pakistani. It's a good Christian finding fighting with a good Muslim. It's a good American fighting with almost anybody. Just everybody's fighting because they're good. But good something identified with a limited something and you're good with that. Isn't that the basis of all the conflict?  The whole problem of everything is limited identity. I'm telling you extreme versions of this is Adolf Hitler, all right? Extreme versions is Adolf Hitler. But just look around and see there are a whole lot of them around you. But only thing is they're not as powerful as him fortunately. Yes or no? Yes. Limited identity means naturally you are going to do something else to somebody else because your identification is like that. So in India as part of the yogic culture, this was the thing in the past, not anymore.  That's all, no teaching. A twelve education begins before he starts his education because education is seen as a huge empowerment. Before he starts education, he must shift his identity to a global or cosmic identity. First thing is Aham Brahmasmi. That means I am everything, not this or that. I am everything in the universe is me. Without taking that step, without that initiation, there is no education because education is empowerment. See today tell me, are educated people causing more damage to this planet or uneducated people causing more damage to this planet? Educated. Educated people because they're empowered, isn't it? Empowered but their identifications are limited. They have no identity with other creatures on this planet. So they're just obliterating them all together and they don't even think they're doing anything wrong, all right? They don't think they're doing anything wrong because they're doing good things. So that is how identity is and that's how important it is. And we've just not taken care of that in modern societies. The whole world would be radically different if people were taught that story about their identity from early on. But unfortunately, as you said, we're not taught that story and many of us have to find it on our own. We have to, through our own spiritual practice, experience that feeling where it is not me in that tree, it is us. And we're both the same, although articulated and expressed and manifested differently. But ultimately, you get to this sense of unicity, this felt sense. And then you can forget it, but at least somewhere you know it. Somewhere I know that we're all the same person living a different life. Somewhere I know that I'm made up of those plants and those animals and the sky and that water and the same thing that feeds the grass. I know it. Sometimes I forget, but at least I know it. So how if people haven't experienced it for themselves, how can they find that felt sense of unicity, that felt sense of connection to everything? See, definitely in California, you've heard the word yoga, yoga. The word yoga does not mean twisting and turning and looking like a leftover noodle, you know? Yoga means union. What are you trying to unite? It is not that you're trying to unite anything. It is anyway one. It is only a realization. This is why we use the word realization. Realization is not an achievement. Realization is not some kind of an attainment. Realization is not an invention. Realization is just that something that was something that was always here, you missed it all the time. Suddenly you saw it one day. It's like one day you saw you have two hands. How fun is that? And suddenly you have two hands. You realize but you never saw all your life that you had two hands. So realization is not about going somewhere. It's about seeing what is there. Why is it that we're not seeing? Essentially, simply because people do not know the distinction between what is their psychological drama and what is the existential reality. See, your psychological reality is something that you're cooking up all the time. Existentially what is there is there. When you do not know the distinction, what are you making up in your mind and what is the reality? When you start enjoying or suffering your psychological reality, then the trouble begins because now you started drama and you forget it's a drama. Now you become so much a part of the drama.  This is what is the problem.  When people say, my life is good or my life is bad, what they mean is their thoughts and emotions are either right now pleasant or unpleasant. That's all they're saying. Existentially there are situations. Some time ago, no virus, now virus, all right? Some time ago, maybe economy was up there, now it's down here, whatever, that's not the issue. That's not the issue. The real issue is your thoughts and emotion are playing out in a certain way. That makes it a good day or a bad day or a good life or a bad life, isn't it? Essentially people are misunderstanding their own thoughts and emotions as life and reacting to that. Now there is no time for union because you have become a separate cubicle of your own.   You're a strong man.  Perspective.   What will happen to me? These are the fears. When these concerns and these struggles and this misunderstanding of what is real and what is not real has happened, this confusion has happened, union or yoga cannot happen. Well, anyway, the yoga that's happening in Los Angeles scares me. It scares me because, see, the yogic system is a certain science. It is not an art form that you can twist it, turn it, you can make it modern art, you can make it ancient art, it's not that kind. It is a science. It needs to be done in a certain way so that, see, it's like this. We can actually do a test and see if you want. If not now on the screen, you can do it at home and see.  Keep your hair, all the fingers together. If you just turn it over, your breath will be different way. That is how subtle this machine is. This way, this way. The very way it functions, the energy's function is different. When it is so subtle, if you observe yourself in twenty-four hours' time, how much of this, this, this, this everybody is doing without knowing why they're doing what they're doing. They do all this and now they're expecting to be peaceful. Life doesn't work like that. If you do not understand how this functions and randomly you function, then you're always looking for a good deal in your life. Good deal in terms of relationships, good deal in terms of finances, good deal in terms of social relationships, good deal in terms of world around us. You can have as many good deals as you want. But if this is like this, you can go sit in heaven and still suffer, all right? I've been in the most beautiful place but I brought me to that beautiful place and the me that I brought to that beautiful place was in turmoil. And so the beautiful place didn't exist because I wasn't able to see it. I wasn't able to be there. Maybe intellectually I knew that I was in a beautiful place but I wasn't there in that place. And that's the challenge of being a human in this existence that hasn't been taught from an early age where the handle is, how to observe the self, how to understand the mind, how to use the intellect to our advantage, how to identify in a broader landscape than just the small self, that we're taught to identify with. But I understand and I have certain compassion for people like myself who find themselves in that situation, absolutely. But what I want to ask from there is the sense of preference, the thing that this feels good, this weather feels good, this type of relationship feels good, making money feels better than poverty.  And that seems to be a prison, the prison of preference. How do you, even if you're identifying broader than yourself, you still feel the things, it still feels hot or cold, you still feel love or not, you still have money or don't have money. How, when you're caught in that preference, the strong preference, how do you free yourself from the fear and the craving? That's why yesterday I was telling you, say, I'm always stoned. You must be always stoned. Not with the stuff that's available in the marketplace. Well, this is the biggest chemical factory. If you take charge of this, you will create the right kind of chemistry. If you had a choice how to be, either blissful or miserable, what's your choice for yourself? Blessful. Blissful. What you want for your neighbor may be debatable sometimes, all right? What you want for yourself is very clear. You want to be blissful. Why such a simple thing is happening, not happening? Well, I'm saying a simple thing because all human experience is generated from within. It doesn't come from outside. We know this, right? Our peacefulness, our turmoil, our joy, our misery, our agony, our ecstasy, everything is being created from inside. So the problem is, the seat of your experience, you never sat on that. You're like an outsider trying to create an experience from outside. You want to air-condition the place to feel good. You're feeling good. If you're conditioning there, we'll enjoy that also. Otherwise, we're anyway... This is the reason continuously we're talking about why you being joyful or blissful is very important. Because only when you're joyful by your own nature, the fear of suffering is not there. When there is no fear of suffering, you know about a week ago, there was a... Daily I have a quote, like a mystic quote going out.     California may be beautiful, but people can be in hell, isn't it?  So it doesn't matter where you are, fundamentally if you are not in pursuit of happiness, but your life is an expression of your joy, then all this will go down by itself. Now without fixing this, you try to do this, that, that, no. First and foremost thing is, you're peaceful and joyful by your own nature. Not because of something. Because today something worked out I am happy, no. I have started so many things that every day something will not work out for me. I have made sure my life never works.  But that will not decide the quality of how I am. That is why you can do everything that you can do. People say around me, Sadhguru, so many big projects, suppose it fails, what to do? I said if it fails, what to do?  If it succeeds, other people will benefit. That's all.  If we do it well and it succeeds, immense benefit will happen to people. If you fail, well it didn't work, anyway it had not worked even before. But when it doesn't make a difference to you, what is success, what is failure for you? So the most important thing is this, first and foremost, everybody must do a little bit of engineering within themselves to see that being peaceful and joyful is not a challenge. Once this happens, your intelligence will function in a completely different way because right now it's in a survival mode. Always fearful if what will happen, what will happen? What will happen means what? Will I suffer? That's a question, isn't it? Once there's an assurance, whatever happens, this is how I will be. Other things are very simple. Yeah. When you find that and I haven't found it, so I don't know, but I've tasted it, but when you find that sense, that ability to control your internal environment rather than letting… Not to control, to liberate. To liberate. Yeah, good question. How can you control this? Right, right. To generate your own emotions through your inner knowing of self, inner expression of self. We'll go back to that thing that you said, a mad elephant.  When you call them mad, another expression for that is also he's lost his mind. Hmm? Yeah. If you lost your mind, for example, can I take you as an example? Of course. I can take myself because it's a more appropriate example.  Right. It could be a good place. Yeah. If you consciously lost your mind, it's the best thing you can do. Yeah, surrendered it, surrendered it. Where I was originally going is when you have that sense of joy that you can bring forward from your own self, is it difficult to generate the motivation to go out and change your reality, change the reality for other people because you're so content in the self and is it then love for others that is the motivating factor? Is that ultimately what drives even you with all of your projects that help people? Because you're content either way, so you're not doing it for yourself. So what's the motivation? What is it that drives you and what is it that drives anybody that's found that joy within themselves? See, on a given day, let's say today morning or tomorrow morning, we'll take you. Tomorrow morning, you're feeling very depressed. Suppose you should not. I'm just saying, suppose tomorrow morning you're feeling very depressed, aren't you willing to go out and do a lot of things? I don't want to. You don't want to do anything. Tomorrow morning you woke up, you are in an unusual state of joy. You're willing to do anything, isn't it? Yes indeed. If I ask you to bend backwards and get me that rock, you will do that. Because you're joyfully, it doesn't matter, isn't it? When you're unhappy, oof. How difficult it is to make you do anything. When you're joyful, you will run and do everything, isn't it? So true. So why do you ask such a question? Everybody asks this question. I think it's nice. Because they are thinking joy means contentment. Contentment is containment. I have never spoken about contentment. Why should you be content? If you're conscious, where is the need to be content? What is needed I will do. If a lot is needed, I will do a lot. If little is needed, I'll do little. Nothing is needed, I'll do nothing. I think people correlate the state of being with non-doing, but that's the false correlation. The problem is too much vocabulary. Contentment, joy, ecstasy, this, this, this, this, you know? Not like that. From compulsiveness to consciousness, that's all. Right now, mind is in a compulsive state. In a compulsive reaction state, if it becomes a conscious response, it's over. Just little engineering. You must do in engineering, I'm telling you. I'm into it. I'm into it. When you find that state of bliss inside yourself and you find it more regularly, and you feel yourself feeling love for life, love for others, then there's a fear that can come up where you're now afraid of letting it go. You're afraid of dying because it's so good. Everything feels so good. You enjoy life so much that there's a fear of dying. Believe me, when you feel very good, you're just ready to die actually. When you feel really blissed out, you're just ready to die. It doesn't matter what age you are, where you are. I always keep telling people around me about what do you think? When should I die? Should I die on a mountain or the ocean or here or there? Where should I go? Sadhguru, I don't talk like this, Sadhguru. I say, why can't I plan my… When I see some place that's really good, I say that it's a good place to die. I will say, Sadhguru, why are you saying this? What's happening? Is your health okay?  I'm just thinking when to die, where to die. Because everything is so good, it's time to go. When it's bad, time to strive, isn't it? When everything is wonderful, it's like when the fruit is ripe, it'll fall. You don't have to think. You don't have to think it's… I'm so sweet, why should I fall down? It will fall by itself, that's how it is. That's very true. The Lakota have a saying, today is a good day to die. And that was to me a great reminder of living in such a way that life is so full for you, that anytime is a good day. I won't go by that saying, that saying they are telling their warriors. Because if the guy looks at his wife's face, looks at its child's face before going to war and he wants to come back after the battle, that guy is not going to be the frontline. He will be behind. So today is a good day to die. That guy will be the frontline. Don't say that to yourself. So that's a story, what you're saying is that's a story, that that's a story that they're telling themselves. But I think there is a beauty in being feeling so full that if it is the day… If it's coming from that, it's fantastic. But it's coming usually to inspire soldiers to be in the frontline. Otherwise every soldier will be in the last line. Right. And everybody goes to the last line means they will retreat. They will not go and fight. Correct, correct.  What happens when we die? Some things you know best only by experience. Are you ready? Not yet. Not yet. Well, see when you ask what happens after death, what you're essentially asking is what is the nature of my existence. If I lose this body, see you slowly acquired the body, that's a fact, isn't it? Hello? You're not born like this. Slowly acquired the body.  So when I lose this body, what happens to me? That's a question. That means what? What is the nature of my existence? Right now I'm here with this body, but what is the nature of my existence? It's a question. Tell me this question is better answered now by your experience of how you are now or when you lost your faculties in the name of death. When all your faculties are intact, this must be looked at, isn't it? Not after you have lost it. Death means certain faculties are lost. So after you die, you know what is death, but what's the use? Because now you don't know what is life because you're in death. Right now you're in life, you do not know the other side. So this is like one side of the coin you know, another side of the coin you do not know. If the coin is lying on this table, you can see only one side. But if you flip it, it will give you in that spin, it'll give you a little bit of both. And that we can do for you, we can spin you a little bit so that you have a taste of both going with you. Life and death in one breath, it's like that. Actually, in the month of February, we published a book called Death. Titled as Death, The Inside Story. And the bottom line was a book for only those who shall die. You in the list? I am. But the problem is most people think they're immortal. That's their problem. That is the worst problem in the world. People are going about as if they're here forever. What is the meaning of unlimited wealth? For a person with limited time, I'm asking. Well, they get to think of themselves as better than other people.  So, only the only joy is that others are doing worse than you. I think that is a perversion, that's not a joy. I'm, see, right now I had a good meal. You've been hungry for five days and I feel really good. Compared to this guy, I'm really nice. This is sickness, this is not happiness. Isn't it? Yeah. So, that kind of things have been trained right from very early age that you enjoy what other people do not have. For this, you will pay a very, very big price. You will pay a big price. Most people who are in that condition, they do not know one moment of joy in their life, one moment of ease in their life, not even joy. That only thing, they laugh looking at other things. When they see that they have succeeded, they have accumulated something, they will laugh. Some pleasure is there, no joy. They don't know what is joy. They have some pleasures, they can buy pleasures. You can't buy joy, you can buy pleasures. Pleasure is only a shadow of joy. So, instead of meeting me, you met my shadow. What is the use, I'm asking? And you're seeing the tree, you see the shadow, yes, a tree shade is good, but a shadow is not the real thing. When you're here, you should know life because that's the only thing we have. The only and only thing you have is life. Everything else is your imagination. Right now, how much is your bank balance? How many homes do you have or how big is your home?  This is all only in your memory.  That's the only real thing, isn't it? Rest is all in your memory. Suppose from here to your car park when you're walking, you lost your memory. You don't know which car to pick. Yes? You will see lots of these people. The question is not whether you lost your memory or not. I'm saying it's unreal. The real thing is the only and only real thing that you have is, that you have in your life is life. But life is not in people's experience. When people say, my life, you're supposed to understand, figure out what are they talking about. They may be talking about their wife. They may be talking about their friend. They may be talking about their car. They may be talking about their job, their career, their something and something. Because they think all these accessories are life. When you misunderstand your spare tire as your car, you know what you will do? You will have to roll it and run on the street. That's why everybody is exhausted and anxious. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. What is your understanding of the force that we call love? Because I feel like the word love is used to mean a lot of different things, but there's a deeper, perhaps truer meaning to love. And I would love to hear your take on what love really is. Now you will make me very unpopular in California. See, it's like this. There is a longing within a human being to be something more than what you are right now. If this longing finds a very basic physical expression, we call this sexuality. Sexuality is just that, at least for one moment, what you are not becomes a part of you.  Well, after that you know you are you, they are they. So this is one level of longing, which is fundamentally infused into our body because it has other functions of reproduction and you know perpetuating the rays and all this stuff. We are all here because somebody had it, otherwise we wouldn't exist. So when you try to do yoga physically, sexuality will happen. If this happens emotionally, if emotionally you try to include something or somebody which is not you as a part of yourself, then we call this love. If this happens mentally, we call this conquest, success, ambition or simply shopping. Why are people shopping? Do you think they need it? No, they want to make themselves little more than who they are. Even if you give them empty shopping bags, they will carry it because they want to feel like something more has come to their life today. Otherwise they'll feel lost. Food, same thing, you want to be something more. Eating for nourishment is one thing, but adding more food because you want to feel like more. So this longing to be more is fundamental to every human being, it is there. Physical expression will become sexuality, emotional expression will become love, mental expression will lead to all kinds of expressions in terms of conquest of various kinds. When you give it a conscious expression, it becomes yoga, union. The difference between yoga and sexuality and shopping and conquest and love is it's a successful process.  All others are like, let's say you're living in a inside the wall, let's say you're in a prison, but they give you a trampoline.   Yoga is not as exciting as a trampoline, it's like a building a ladder. Slowly you build a ladder.   Ladder is not like that, nothing romantic about it, but if you build it strong and climb across, you'll be the other side. When you talk about the union that you're looking to build is the union, the yoga, is it union with your universal self? Is it union with God? Is it union with everything? What is the union that is the purpose? You use three words for all of which there is too many assumptions.  Universal self, your divine nature, everything. Everything, okay, everything is another word. Divine nature, universal self, God, everything. Do you know the meaning of any one of these words or does anybody know the meaning of any one of these words? Does anybody know the meaning of what is everything? We just try. No, no, is it possible? No. Then why?  We just made it up. Everything, where is everything? Nobody knows what is everything, isn't it? Nobody knows what is the universe and the self. Well, nobody knows what is God also, but everybody talks about it. So I'm saying from generation to generation, we've been insincere. This is the first and most fundamental thing that every human being has to do is, what I know, I know. What I do not know, I do not know. Cutting out all this vocabulary from our mind, everything that we do not know, we know there is a tree. Is tree God's creation or not? You don't know. You know it comes from the earth. Did you make the earth? No. Who made the earth? She made it, he made it, you made it? No. Who made it? No. You don't know. If you come to this one thing that I do not know, genuinely, experientially, not intellectually, if you realize I do not know, realization is just one moment.   So the entire yogic system always identifies, not with our knowledge but with our ignorance.  It is a microscopic nonsense in this existence, what we know. But what I do not know is a boundless possibility. So when I become identified with what I do not know, I become a boundless possibility. If I get identified with what little I carry in my head, then I become that small. And from that small I am trying to enlarge myself like an amoeba, all the rest. Yeah, that's why it's sometimes referred to as the mystery. And then maybe that's a better a better word for the divine, the mystery. All right, you can use words, but I would say if you obliterate all the words, it's best because words give you a sense of that you know it. It's important within yourself. Well, when I talk to somebody, I may call this a tree. But if I simply sit here in the garden, I won't call it a tree. I will simply give my attention and my consciousness to it. So I experience it the way it is. The tree does not think it's a tree.  It does its own things. There is no experience of that. See, this happened to me, I must tell you this. I was studying English language in college. My English teacher came, a lady, till then we were learning all English poems, English poets and literature. First time we are being introduced to an American poet and that is what… I'm sorry, Robert Frost, here somewhere close by. So she introduced Robert Frost as a very wonderful poet, this, this, this. And then she started reading the poem, Woods are lowly, deep and dark. I said, stop. She said, why? I said, a man who calls a tree a wood, I'm not going to listen to that guy. She said, no, no, no, Robert Frost is a fantastic poet.  I didn't let her teach. After twenty-seven, twenty-eight years, I was doing a program in Mysore City and she came to my program. Then she came and hugged me and said, now I understand why you would not let me teach Robert Frost? But it's become common for people to call a tree a wood. This is like if a tiger looks at you and says, ah, breakfast is sitting on the chair. Hello? That's how he would think, isn't it? If I am a tiger, no, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm doing these two things together, tiger and wood together, this is the wrong thing. I am a lion. If I am a lion, I would look at you and think, ah, good breakfast. I'm saying it's all right for him. He is at that level of existence, but it's not all right for you to look at a living tree and think it's wood, isn't it? Yeah, it's reducing it to a function rather than the essence of what it really is. You're not recognizing it as a life? Yeah. Well, I appreciate you sitting down to share this wisdom with all of us. It's a lot to comprehend and just so much gratitude for everything that you've accumulated in your life that you've been able to share with so many people. So, thank you.

How to start an online business for non-techy people. Hey, you want to start an online business, but you're like, I don't have technical skills. I don't understand any of this stuff. I totally get it. I've grown my business since 2009 to selling millions of dollars of products online, both products and services, and I had no technical skills whatsoever. So in this video, what I'd like to do is share with you how you can do the same thing by following a few simple steps, and we're starting right now. Hey, I'm JR Fisher. Like I said, I've been selling online since 2009. We've sold millions of dollars of both physical and digital products.  Now, I actually have my own branded products on thousands of websites, including Walmart, and we do pretty well. So what I do on this channel is I actually share with you the tips and tricks and secrets that I've learned along the way to help me in my business so you can start, run, and grow your online business. Now, do me a favor, comment below. What are the biggest obstacles you're having? What are some of the successes you're having? What questions do you have? Put it in the comments below. Don't forget to do that. Also, if you're new to this channel, don't forget to subscribe. Hit that big subscribe button down there, and next to it, ring the bell, hit that bell next to it, and then turn on all notifications. When you do that, I can let you know about new videos that come out. You'll become part of my family, the Fisher family, the VIP group that learns about these videos before anybody else does. Now, if you want some more training, I have a $97 Ecommerce course that you can get absolutely free by going down in the description, clicking the link, and checking it out.  Now, I gotta tell you, when I started out, I was totally non-techy. I couldn't even type. Let alone barely send emails, and I learned this stuff, and I wanna show you the way I learned these things and how you can, too. So let's go ahead and get started. Let's jump in and look at number one. Now, number one is the big one. Number one is the biggest obstacle that you've gotta get over, and if you can't get over number one, you'll never get through any of these steps, okay? You'll never be able to succeed. And number one is believe that you can learn. Believe that you can learn. Whatever you know in life right now, no matter what subject it is, at some point you didn't know it, okay? So we all have this ability to learn. Now, some of us will tell ourselves, well, I'm not good at being athletic, or I'm not good at technical stuff, or I'm not good at cooking. Basically, you've told yourself that, so you've just tried not to do it, okay? So that's basically all you've done. You could really learn anything. If you have average, or even below average intelligence, some of you out there, sometimes I feel like I do, you can learn anything if you go about it the right way. And so what I'm gonna do is go through all these different steps here. That's number one is believe you can, and that is the biggest obstacle you gotta get over is believe you can, and I'm gonna show you how I can prove to you that you can learn this stuff too in some of the other steps. Number two is a big one, and I didn't have this in the beginning, but great software does most of the work for you. Nowadays, there's so much you can do, and so much you can get accomplished because there's software that automates this stuff. I know when I first started out to build a webpage, oh my gosh, that was really hard to do. I started off with Microsoft Front Page, and that was like in the late 90s, very, very difficult to use that, and I never really got good at it. The pages never really looked great, but nowadays they have so many softwares out there that you can actually use that the pages are already built. In other words, they have templates in there. Now we use Kartra, I highly recommend Kartra. Kartra will do so many things for you. It took the place of eight different softwares for us, and what I wanna do is give you a video so you can see how to use Kartra. It doesn't cost anything, you don't need a credit card. So look in the description below, and you're gonna find a link to Kartra. When you click that link, it's going to take you to a page where you can actually see all the things that Kartra does.  In Kartra, they have templates. So you can say, well, I want a page that looks like this with a video here and a picture here. They probably got a template like that, and if not, you can adjust the templates by just clicking and dragging stuff around. So step number two is get the software to do all these automations for you and like I say, I highly recommend Kartra.  Now that's my affiliate link. I wanna be upfront about that, but it does give you a $1 trial and you can watch the video for free. Number three, this is another one and I highly recommend it. Get training from an expert who has already done what you wanna do. So if you wanna sell products online, physical products, I would find somebody who's got a course, who's got some training. I've done that, I have courses and you can check some of that out if you want. But find somebody who's already done it. I mean, why try to figure out everything? And a lot of people say, well, I don't wanna spend any money for courses and I don't wanna spend any money for training because I just don't wanna spend any money. And the problem with that is you're spending your time and your time is a lot more valuable than money. You can always get more money. You can always grow your money, but once your time's gone, it's gone. So no matter what you're getting paid on your job right now, whether it's $15 an hour or $50 an hour, if you spend 100 hours trying to figure stuff out, you've spent money. You may not call it that, but that's time that you could have actually earned money doing something else. So if you can find an expert that can bring you to the level a lot quicker, that's what I would recommend you do. Like I say, I have courses and I do coaching and certainly I've got a lot of free videos, you're watching one right now, but make sure that whoever you're learning from is still doing what you wanna learn. So that's another thing I'll tell you. If somebody says I learned to sell products years ago on Amazon or eBay or Shopify or whatever and they're not still doing it, they're not still selling products, they're not gonna be on top of stuff, guys. We sell products every single day. I sell digital products, physical products.  So make sure you're getting proper training from an expert. That's my number three is get proper training. Number four, this is another big one, is know your why. Why, okay? Why do you wanna start a business? If your motivation is because you don't wanna work much, don't do it, okay? I would advise you not to do it because starting your own business requires that you work. There's a lot of people on the internet that will tell you you don't have to put in any time and you can make millions a year and I can almost assure you they're lying to you because they're putting in a lot of time. So if anybody's telling you you don't have to work and you can make millions of dollars online, it's just not the case. You're gonna have to put the time in but you gotta know your why. So what is your why? Why are you doing this? Why, why start a business online? Now my why was not because I didn't have enough money at the time because I had a decent job. I didn't have enough time. You know, I would have liked to have more time off but I didn't like my boss. That was my why. My why was I didn't like my boss. My why was I didn't wanna answer to him anymore. I didn't think he had good morals. I didn't think he was a good person. I thought he was lazy. And that was my why. That's all I needed is my why. So you gotta kinda find what is your why? Is it money? Is it time? Do you wanna be able to adjust your time so that maybe you can pick up your kids after school? Do you wanna adjust your time so you can go see them in a concert and you can't do that now? That's a really good why. You know, if it's about time. Is it about money? You know, well, that's a good why too. Maybe you don't have enough money. Maybe you wanna earn more money. Maybe you want another 500 bucks a month. Maybe you want a thousand dollars a month. Maybe you want 50,000 a month. All of those are available if you start a business online. So make sure you got your why.  Your why will make you do things that you wouldn't normally do if you have a really strong why.  I don't wanna work for this policy anymore. I don't wanna listen to them anymore. And that could be your why if that's your situation too. Number five, realize what you can earn. Yeah, realize what you can earn. I don't know what you're earning now when you're watching this video. You probably are not earning enough. Most people don't. But online, guys, I know a lot of people that I go to meetings and little masterminds and stuff like that. And I see people in their 20s making millions of dollars a year. I see people in their 60s and 70s, 80s making millions of dollars a year. Age doesn't matter. But if you keep in your mind how much money you could earn and how much you could accomplish by having an online business, I mean, that's number five. That's a big one, okay? That is a really big one. Realize that. And here's when you gotta realize this more than anything. You gotta realize it more than anything when you get discouraged because you're gonna get discouraged, okay? You're gonna get down. You're gonna get frustrated. You're gonna have problems. You know, I have an inner circle that you can actually join so that when you get discouraged and you have problems, you have a resource to go to and you have training and courses and all that. And I think there's gonna be a link down in the description on that. So check that out, my inner circle. But you gotta constantly remind yourself what you can do. If you don't constantly remind yourself how much money you can earn. And money is a motivator, you know? But money in itself doesn't do you any good. It's really what you can do with the money. So, you know, take that a step further and you say, well, I wanna make $10,000 a month so I can live in a nice house.  So that money is just a means to an end.  You gotta think about that. If you just say I wanna earn a lot of money and you don't put a number on it, you don't say how much it is, you don't say what you're gonna do with it, it doesn't mean a whole lot.  The money thing's really important and that's number five, realize what you can earn but remember to also verbalize what you're gonna do with that money. Number six, okay? If other people can do this, so can you. This is the big one, okay? And this is the one thing that, you know, I probably attach myself to more than anything. I look around and I say, well, who's making money? You know, and what are they doing?  You know, and I say, well, my gosh, if they can do it, I can do it. And that's really what you gotta get in your head. You know, I go back to the story of Roger Bannister who was the first guy ever to break the four minute mile. Prior to that, you know, all the scientists, all the doctors said it's impossible to run faster than, you know, under four minutes a single mile. It just can't be done. Your body can't do that. It would break down. It would just come apart. I don't know what it would do explode. But the funny thing is, as soon as he broke the four minute mile, there were many more people that year that broke the four minute mile because they came to that realization. You know, number six is, if other people can do it, you can too. As soon as they saw that, as soon as they saw that Roger Bannister can break the four minute mile, they're like, oh, well, it can be done. So I guess I can do it too. And there's a great saying and it says, you know, if someone can do it, many can do it. If many can do it, so can you. So bottom line is there's a lot of people making money online and you've got to believe that if they can do it, you can too. They're no different than you, okay? The only difference is they did something. They put forth some effort and the reason they put forth the effort is because of their thoughts. They changed their thoughts. Their thoughts were that I can't succeed. I can do this and I'm gonna continue trying this. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna accomplish these things. Other people are doing it. I can do it. And if you get that in your head, over and above everything else, that will be your motivation to keep going when you do get a little discouraged and things go wrong. Number seven is make use of resources that are available to you. Now, what do I mean by that? Nowadays, there are so many resources. There's so many resources. You know, we have people we hire in different countries. We use Upwork. You know, we use a lot of different job sites. Onlinejobs.ph, we use Fiverr. And if I can't really spend the time to learn how to do beautiful graphics, let's say, I'll make use of one of these things. You know, if I need some music for something, I'm not a musician. I don't wanna learn an instrument. So I'll go to one of these sites that we have access to, download music for different things. So understand if you make use of all these resources out there and so many people are afraid to spend any money on anything. They go, I don't wanna spend any money on anything. Well, you can't participate then. You can't make money online if you don't wanna spend any money on anything. You know, if you're totally flat broke, you gotta fix that first. But understand that these resources can save you so much time. You know, there's people that can do things, you know, so much faster than me. You know, maybe it's graphics or, you know, maybe it's music, maybe it's social media, maybe it's uploading videos, whatever it is, they can do it a lot faster than I can do it. And then I can concentrate my efforts on what I'm good at, which, you know, maybe coming up with ideas or marketing or writing emails or something like that. Now, I don't pay anybody to write any of my emails or any of my ad copy because I think I'm good at that. You know, that's something I've done my whole life. I've been involved in sales. So I know what motivates people.  So I didn't do all that myself. But if there's an area that you're not great at, if there's an area that, you know, you feel like, you know, I'm kinda slow at this and I really don't wanna learn it. I really don't like this, then go ahead, make use of those resources out there. Make use of those sites out there. You know, go to freelancer.com. I mean, there's so many of them. I can say their name them all day long. But there's so many people out there that are willing to do these things for you. If you don't wanna do a video, there's people that will do videos for you. If you don't wanna do a voiceover, there's people that will do voiceovers for you. There's people that will literally do anything you need in your business, but you gotta make use of those resources.  You can't succeed. Not online. You gotta make use of all these resources. Now, if you follow those seven steps, okay, as a non-techie person, you can do pretty well online. I know, I followed them, did those things, okay? And understand as a bonus, you're gonna get frustrated, okay? Frustration is gonna happen. It happens to all of us. We all get frustrated because all frustration is, is, you know, a situation not working out the way we think it should. And that's all frustration is, but here's another thing about frustration. Frustration is just success waiting to be uncovered. Frustration is just success waiting to be uncovered. So if you're feeling really frustrated and you're really upset about something, something's really gone wrong, there's probably some success there that you haven't seen yet. So I would suggest you go back to the drawing board, you figure out what it is that's frustrating you, you try to fix it, and you may be amazed what will come out of that. You may be amazed what you'll uncover every time you get frustrated, every time you think something goes wrong. And I've just been proven to me over and over. My life took me a long time to learn it, but when things go wrong, when I'm frustrated, I almost get excited now. I'm like, oh man, something good's gonna happen. Something great's gonna happen because I'm frustrated right now. So it's covering up success somehow for me. And I just gotta uncover it. I just gotta work on that thing and get that thing fixed. So don't quit, remember your why, okay? Don't quit, remember your why.  Follow these steps. And even as a non-techie person, maybe you'll become techie. Maybe you'll learn these things.
