Russell Brand is back with a brand new show about how to deal with a constant climate of crisis and deception. This time, it's all about what happens when the mainstream media finally catches up with where we've been for some time, and start asking the question: Is Taiwan going to be the next Ukraine? And why is it so important that we need to have a constant war in order to function? And if it does, does that mean that it looks for illegitimate wars that it then claims are legitimate in order for it to keep the war machine fed? And what does the Taiwanese people feel about that? Do they even want to be The Next Ukraine? Particularly when the revelations of Buddy Boyce Texera have just made plain as day, at the risk of a 3,000 year sentence, that the Ukraine war is not going how the U.S. government are telling us it's going.

00:01:39.000So join us over there because we're asking... Does America require constant war in order to function?
00:01:47.000And if it does, does that mean that it looks for illegitimate wars that it then claims are legitimate in order to keep the war machine fed?
00:01:57.000Specifically, is Taiwan going to be the next Ukraine?
00:02:01.000What do the Taiwanese people feel about that?
00:02:04.000Do they even want to be the next Ukraine?
00:02:06.000Particularly when the revelations of buddy-boy Texaria have just made plain as day, at the risk of a 3,000 year sentence, plain as day that the Ukraine war is not going how the US government are telling us it's going.
00:02:23.000We've got BSMK, Simpkin coming on, she's one of my breathwork teachers, one
00:02:52.000Then we're gonna have a deep dive into a news story that I'm not even gonna tell you about because it's so damned exclusive and thorough that they won't be able to handle it.
00:03:31.000One of the reasons we think that Ukraine might be usurped by Taiwan is because even now 25 US defense contractors are over there visiting.
00:03:43.000If what Taiwan needs is help from presumably imperialist oppressive China, and I'm not again saying that China aren't imperialist and oppressive and that there aren't groups within Taiwan who want to throw off the shackles of Chinese rule and just Dying for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and everyone to get involved.
00:04:23.000defense contractors plan to send representatives to Taiwan next month, marking the first time the arms industry will send a delegation to the island since 2019.
00:04:56.000You are selling weapons for decades on this.
00:05:00.000This can run and run, because you can't actually have an out-and-out hot war with China or Russia, even though Buddy Boy Teixeira's revelations suggest that there are American troops on the ground, engaged in combat, making it not a proxy war, but an actual war.
00:05:14.000But that's Buddy Boy's views, not mine.
00:06:29.000But Sideways Ross, From the news, I've got a thing or two, so you're gonna... Get ready to eat those words, because Sideways Ross has got news for you.
00:07:40.000There's 91... You could be selling... If they could sell jets to the Chinese... They've not even solved the proxy war with Russia yet, and they're moving on to the next proxy war.
00:09:00.000Beijing sending a clear signal over its claims to Taiwan and its anger over last week's meeting between Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in the U.S.
00:10:10.000Well, she just kept laughing at him, basically.
00:10:12.000She thought being asked questions about the Pentagon failing audits five times in a row and being unable to track, trace, or demonstrate billions of dollars of expenditure was actually quite funny.
00:10:24.000As if she was being told an anecdote about, like, sort of a fox on a golf course or something.
00:10:34.000It's not a duck egg being ate by a fox on the 16th hole!
00:10:39.000This is a budget that potentially is not being correctly audited in order to conceal the necessary ongoing trade between the state with your taxpayer dollars and companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
00:10:51.000And now suddenly China have got to be all looming in order to justify another war against the superpower.
00:14:12.000In a recent survey from Taiwanese Public Opinion Foundation, more than half of people here said they believe Taiwan will become the next Ukraine.
00:14:22.000But here on the streets of Taiwan, when asked whether they're worried about an attack from China, Well, I think attacks from pythons appear to be accessories in contemporary Taiwan.
00:14:35.000Most people we speak to say they choose not to think about it.
00:14:39.000I think we should just worry about Taiwan ourselves.
00:14:54.000Can we find out what religion they are?
00:14:55.000Because what he seemed to be saying is there's no point projecting yourself into territory that is beyond your control, just actually focus on the moment, stay present.
00:17:11.000That's the point of ascending to a higher spiritual plane, so that when someone comes over going, are you worried now?
00:17:17.000Well, also, they must recognise that, you know, if democracy exists, then they'll be able to exert some kind of power over this, but if democracy doesn't exist, then we'll just have to let governments and the military-industrial complex decide the outcome anyway.
00:17:33.000I actually think we should send them a lot of missiles because that piece needs protecting.
00:17:39.000Fortunately there are 200 US military trainers in Taiwan right now.
00:17:44.000I would highlight that our support for and defense relationship with Taiwan remains aligned against The Wall Street Journal first reported in February that the US planned to deploy between 100 and 200 troops to Taiwan.
00:17:57.000miners told antiwar.com. The Wall Street Journal first reported in February that
00:18:01.000the US planned to deploy between a hundred and two hundred troops to Taiwan.
00:18:05.000The US only had about 30 troops on the island. They're up in the anti...
00:18:55.000Pentagon says record defence budget necessary to compete with China.
00:18:59.000The Pentagon's record high $842 billion budget request is only expected to increase before it's finalised.
00:19:05.000While China plans to increase military spending by more than 7% to $225 billion, US continues to spend more on its military than the next nine countries combined.
00:19:49.000The Defence Department fails another audit but makes progress, so this is it.
00:19:52.000So we don't know, we can't tell you, neither can the Pentagon tell you what happens to those billions, that 800 billion, assumed to, um, it's gonna exceed... A trillion.
00:20:03.000But they won't even tell you where that's gone, because they don't like to be audited.
00:20:14.000But I am not the Pentagon, as you can plainly see and tell.
00:20:18.000Although, I am as auditable as they are, and as responsible for their expenditure as they are, in so much as I will give you a brief Accountancy review.
00:20:29.000They spent most of it, over half of it, went to military-industrial complex.
00:21:53.000Kenneth Branagh would have said something along the lines of, Russell, as you know, you're one of the best actors on the set and in the world.
00:22:01.000So, anyway, just pretend, if you will, that something over there on your right... What's to the right of you?
00:22:07.000...is cause for grave concern, and Rose there, Rose McGowan... Well, you're doing much better than she is.
00:24:52.000You've been banging on about this for a while.
00:24:53.000We're waiting for the day where they come clean and say it's actually... Not only did it not do nothing, it actually was worse than doing nothing.
00:26:07.000Why should I participate in you narrativizing this conflict in order, ultimately, to serve the corporate interests that pay for your channel?
00:26:23.000Focusing on the age group of 50 to 55 year olds who are being offered the vaccine, the data clearly shows that you need to vaccinate 40,000 of these people to prevent one hospitalisation from Covid, and hundreds of thousands of people to stop one person entering intensive care.
00:26:37.000Is that the end of the story by Professor Angus Darglish, formerly of Celtic and Liverpool?
00:27:29.000It's not looking good in the ongoing... Well, we're at a different phase of the argument, as Musk pointed out in his argument with the BBC, Covid's not a thing now.
00:27:37.000But what the phase we're in now is the sort of, forget about it phase, aren't we?
00:27:44.000You know, we have differing views and things, but what I would suggest is that whether or not, I mean, I still think that headline of it's actually more harm than good, if it's 1 in 800, I don't know if that still quite adds up.
00:27:58.0001 in 800 is an adverse event or a disability or an injury, 40,000 in order to prevent one hospitalisation, I just think they're saying mathematically.
00:28:09.000You're more likely to experience an adverse event than you are to avoid hospitalisation.
00:28:31.000If we're the only place that people can hear these kind of truths, then they will come to us flocking, first of all, Because of my performance in Death Down the Nile.
00:29:20.000The WHO are introducing a pandemic treaty that will mean they'll be able to take your tax dollars without listening to your opinion or giving you the chance to vote on it.
00:29:32.000The WHO are composing a treaty that will entitle them to extract budgets from your country and impose countermeasures in the event of another pandemic.
00:29:41.000Tick tock, tick tock, should there be one?
00:30:35.000Yeah, fair and equitable to all the countries that can afford them.
00:30:43.000Because remember, no matter how hard and strong they believed in the efficacy of that vaccine, they didn't believe that countries that couldn't pay for it should have it.
00:30:59.000I just can't make sense of it because it doesn't make sense.
00:31:03.000The WHO wants to be allocated at least 20% of the global supply of vaccines, tests and other similar tools.
00:31:12.000What I like doing is granting incredible authority and power to unelected globalist bodies that are significantly funded by one organisation, in this case the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
00:31:23.000It might be inconvenient for you to know that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are the second biggest contributor to the WHO.
00:31:29.000Although that doesn't sound great if you don't like to believe that very powerful rich individuals exert incredible control over undemocratic global organisations that now want to influence policy in your country, that might play into the hands of, I don't know, conspiracy theorists.
00:31:42.000But let me tell you what it is, a fact.
00:31:44.000As you know, there have been several reviews of the global response to the pandemic with many recommendations for strengthening global health security.
00:31:56.000They all recognize the need for better systems and tools.
00:32:00.000All these words and all this rhetoric is fair enough.
00:32:04.000And I bet the WHO aren't without merit.
00:32:06.000I'm sure they must have done something good somewhere at some time.
00:32:09.000And I bet if you spoke to people within it, they'd say, no, all we want to do is help nurses somewhere over here
00:32:14.000I'm sure that they're not there like, we're doing some evil stuff.
00:32:17.000But the fact is, is that this rhetoric around we want a cohesive global response, that's all well and good, but you have to ensure that those kind of ideas aren't subject to potential corruption.
00:32:29.000That it doesn't end up meaning that big pharma companies are granted indemnity, don't have to be transparent about the results of their clinical trials.
00:32:37.000These are all actual stories, I'm not making this stuff up.
00:32:40.000So, in a sense, that rhetoric is correct, but are they able to deliver it when they are beholden to certain investors, with certain imperatives, with certain ties to the stock market, with certain relationships with pharmaceutical companies?
00:32:53.000Even where the system is operating within its own laws, it would be regarded as corrupt by any sane person because it doesn't grant transparency, it doesn't grant clarity, it doesn't grant democracy.
00:33:21.000finance WHO. To connect and underpin these ideas, I believe that time is right for an
00:33:30.000international treaty or other legally binding instrument."
00:33:34.000Legally binding instrument that people don't vote for? I'm not sure about that. Not after
00:33:39.000last time, because what we learned last time is even if you accept that the global response
00:33:43.000was undertaken with the best intentions, that the governments of the world want nothing
00:33:47.000but to protect their population, and the pharmaceutical companies want nothing but to provide effective,
00:33:51.000effective medicines. You remember Albert Baller at the beginning saying it would be inhumane
00:33:54.000to profit from such an endeavour as this.
00:33:57.000Even though they did profit, to a record degree, so you can do what you want with that apparent hypocrisy and contradiction, even if you believe that, you still have to accept that transparency and democracy have a role to play in this process.
00:34:09.000You don't want legally binding treaties imposed on sovereign nations that might advantage certain organisations, institutions, corporate entities, without being asked.
00:34:40.000The lesson I learned is that the government have a kind of momentum to impose control.
00:34:44.000They now have relationships with big tech that mean that surveillance just seems like an irresistible option.
00:34:49.000And even when they pledge and promise not to use that surveillance to spy on you in other instances, they will end up doing that.
00:34:56.000That's been proven and demonstrated now that they like to regulate and legislate.
00:35:00.000And when it's convenient, they will celebrate health care workers.
00:35:02.000And then when it's necessary, we'll throw those same health care workers to the wolves As they're doing in this country.
00:35:07.000Junior doctors and nurses in my country striking right now.
00:35:10.000You know about the 34,000 people sacked in New York because they didn't want to take certain medications.
00:35:14.000What I also learned from it is Big Pharma will say whatever is necessary at the beginning of a pandemic to ensure the funding and contracts are granted, and then they will take the profits and justify it later.
00:35:30.000I agree it should have been, but it wasn't, was it?
00:35:32.000It was there are an elite that will exploit us and they have friends in the media that will find either intellectual or populist ways of conveying that message in order to keep people compliant.
00:35:51.000Yesterday in Westminster Hall, that's our Congress or Parliament as we call it, MPs debated the pandemic prevention preparedness and response international agreement.
00:35:59.000This follows over 150,000 people signing a petition not to sign any WHO pandemic treaty unless it's approved via public referendum.
00:36:08.000People in our country now are afraid of referendums because sometimes people don't vote how the establishment want them to.
00:36:14.000In March 2021, world leaders, including Boris Johnson, announced the need for a treaty to enhance international pandemic cooperation.
00:36:22.000Enhanced pandemic cooperation means one centralised body is able to dictate a variety of responses across nations.
00:36:29.000In October, a WHO working group published a zero-draft report for consideration by the World Health Assembly, WHA, the WHO's decision-making body.
00:36:38.000As a result, the WHA convened a second special session in December where it established an intergovernmental negotiating body.
00:36:44.000Bloody hell, how many bodies and acronyms are they going to set up to mask the fact that we simply don't need them?
00:36:49.000To draft and negotiate the instrument with a view to its adoption under Article 19 of the WHO constitution.
00:36:55.000Article 19 of the WHO's constitution gives the WHA the authority to adopt conventions or agreements on any matter within WHO's competence.
00:37:03.000Let's have a look at some of the articles within this treaty, which, remember, is there to help you to save lives, to look after the elderly and vulnerable, and as our man up there just said, to have a cohesive response that demonstrates we're all one species, we're all in this together.
00:37:16.000Even though loads of people during the pandemic really, really suffered, there was a massive wealth transfer, pharmaceutical companies became richer, governments were able to surveil and regulate with impunity, and ordinary people, broadly speaking, by and large, suffered terribly.
00:37:29.000Article 7.3a in the draft report states, during inter-pandemic times, all parties will coordinate, collaborate, facilitate and incentivize manufacturers of pandemic-related products to transfer relevant technology and know-how to capable manufacturers and to address the need to develop new pandemic-related products in a short time frame.
00:37:46.000I hope that includes nations that can't afford to fund their own medicinal care, because if you believe in the efficacy of these products, You'll want the continent of Africa, for example, to have access to them.
00:37:56.000That's not how it played out in the last pandemic.
00:37:59.000That's why that continent had very, very low vaccination rates and therefore presumably an entirely different narrative when it comes to illness, sickness and death.
00:39:08.000In this country there's a crisis around family GPs or doctors, meaning that most people can't see a doctor when they need to.
00:39:14.000And obviously this will improve that radically, leading to more tension between poor people who have different colours and cultures so they can fight each other to the death.
00:39:21.000In a terrible Hunger Games-like spectacle, this is from The Telegraph, a sort of newspaper we have.
00:39:26.000On the 22nd of May, the World Health Organization met for the World Health Assembly.
00:39:30.000On the agenda was a pandemic accord that would greatly expand the WHO's power to intervene in a country in the event of a future outbreak.
00:39:38.000Expand their power to intervene, bypass democracy and even law.
00:39:42.000I'd be the first to say that your existing laws and government are not operating on your behalf significantly, but a globalist body, I would argue, will be Even less invested in your welfare, in spite of the rhetoric, because we've seen what's happened.
00:39:55.000We saw the wealth transfer, we saw the hypocrisy of not providing those medicines in countries that couldn't afford them.
00:40:02.000The European Union pushed for a legally binding pandemic treaty instead But the accord would still have substantial force of international law behind it to make governments impose domestic lockdowns, for example, despite the WHO's own figures showing little correlation between lockdown severity and death rates.
00:40:18.000They haven't explicitly said that they will impose lockdowns, but they are saying they want the right to impose lockdowns, even though lockdowns, according to their own figures, were not that effective.
00:40:27.000Though some of the measures make sense, such as more sharing of vaccines with other countries, the plan skates around the WHO's errors during the COVID pandemic.
00:40:36.000That's not the way to get round things.
00:40:37.000Skates are, by their very nature, a dangerous means of travel.
00:40:40.000It ignored Taiwan's early alarm call, praised the Chinese government for its transparency at a time when it was denying human-to-human transmission and punishing whistleblowers, delayed declaring a health emergency, flip-flopped on masks and lockdowns, and mounted a farcical Potemkin investigation into the origin of the virus.
00:40:55.000Added to its poor performance in the 2014 Ebola outbreak, when for months the WHO resisted calls from doctors and NGOs to declare an emergency to avoid offending member governments, this track record does not inspire confidence.
00:41:08.000Do you want the WHO to be more powerful?
00:41:11.000Do you like organisations like the WEF, the WHO, the IMF, the World Bank?
00:41:15.000Organisations that you in part sometimes fund but have no control over?
00:41:20.000According to the meeting's agenda, the accord would be part of six action tracks focused on healthcare systems, zoonotic outbreaks, endemic tropical diseases, food safety, antimicrobial resistance and protecting the environment.
00:41:32.000Something the WHO itself and the US and other governments insist might well have been the cause of the COVID pandemic, namely a laboratory experiment gone wrong or a virus-hunting researcher infected while sampling bats in the field.
00:41:43.000And I suppose the reason it doesn't include that is because that's an inconvenient narrative that places the pharmaceutical industry at the middle of an investigation into the cause of pandemics.
00:41:52.000Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO Director General, said in July last year that it was premature to rule out a lab leak, a view echoed by the G7 summit in Cornwall.
00:42:01.000Since then, if anything, the evidence has grown stronger.
00:42:04.000Over the years, laboratory accidents have resulted in deaths of researchers and others from smallpox, anthrax, SARS and other pathogens.
00:42:11.000In one case, a global epidemic of flu resulted from a mistake with an experimental vaccine in China in 1977.
00:42:17.000In recent years, there was a dramatic increase in the number of coronaviruses taken from bat caves into labs for experiments, most of them in a city called Wuhan.
00:42:58.000In February, the WHO held the third COVID-19 Global Research and Innovation Forum.
00:43:03.000In the titles of these 49 sessions, the word origin did not appear once.
00:43:06.000Though it has set up a committee, the WHO seems to be paying no more than lip service to its own commitment to investigating the possibility of a lab leak.
00:43:13.000Like some Western scientists, it may be hoping the question of the origin of this dreadful pandemic remains unsolved lest the answer ruffle diplomatic feathers.
00:43:21.000That would seem to be the only reason not to investigate the origin of a virus when knowing the origin might help you prevent future pandemics, which apparently is one of the things they're interested in.
00:43:31.000The Gates Foundation is the second largest contributor to the WHO.
00:43:34.000As of September 2021, it invested nearly $780 million in its programs.
00:43:44.000Whether or not Bill and Melinda Gates are truly philanthropic, doing things only out of kindness, or whether or not there is some influence that's exerted, have a look at some of Bill Gates' investments elsewhere and that will help you reach a conclusion.
00:43:55.000For an intergovernmental organisation such as the WHO to be so reliant on private philanthropy, especially one whose leaders have personal interests and investments in healthcare, is problematic.
00:44:04.000Yeah, because it could mean that they would influence the policy to be beneficial to their other interests in healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies, couldn't it?
00:44:11.000Private foundations resources tend to be more dependent on the stock market and other investments and could have financial interests that run contrary to their state admissions.
00:44:18.000If you are a philanthropist, if you're a philanthropic organization, then you should be entirely detached, I would say, from the financial imperatives and incentives that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation apparently have here because otherwise you are living in a contradictory space.
00:44:31.000When the WHO was formed as an intergovernmental organisation, it would have been unimaginable that a private foundation could have such influence, said Lawrence Gostin, faculty director of the O'Neill Institute at Georgetown University.
00:44:42.000It would enable a single rich philanthropist to set the global health agenda.
00:44:46.000Perhaps the reason you cannot have referendums, votes, democracy around this issue is it would prevent the will and perspective of powerful individuals who want to lead the response to future pandemics from being enacted.
00:45:00.000So there's just a few things to look at there.
00:45:02.000Why in the last pandemic Were medicines not shared with poor nations?
00:45:06.000Why are they so resistant to transparency in a referendum?
00:45:09.000Why are they not looking into the lab leak theory as a possible source of the virus in the first place?
00:45:15.000And why are they accepting funding from a single individual who has investments that ultimately amount to a conflict of interest?
00:45:22.000And does this mean But that's just what I think.
00:45:24.000Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:45:26.000world where important decisions on the health of an entire nation are made by
00:45:31.000potentially by individuals with a vested interest in particular outcomes with
00:45:35.000financial investments in particular products with essentially an agenda. I
00:45:40.000think that any WHO policy should be subject to a referendum.
00:45:43.000You should vote on whether or not your country takes up that policy or is
00:45:46.000included in that mandate or not. But that's just why I think let me know
00:45:49.000what you think in the comments in the chat I'll see you in a second.

00:47:07.000If you're going to deal with a reality of that nature, you are going to need to explore the deep, potentially limitless, inner psychic realms.
00:47:18.000And who better to do that with than me?
00:47:24.000Spiritual teacher, breathwork coach, best-selling author, recent mother, my friend, Star of a community festival, join us this year, mid-July.
00:47:38.000Biet will be joining us again, along with Eddie Stern and Wim Hof and Vandana Shiva and... Who's that one I'm excited about?
00:48:11.000I gave birth to a baby, so I had a little, you know, sojourn into the cosmic realm.
00:48:16.000What was it like to give birth to that baby?
00:48:20.000It's really the most surreal thing you'll ever do.
00:48:22.000I mean, you've done it from the other side twice already, so you kind of know, but it's very strange being the pod through which this being comes from what seemingly outer space onto the planet.
00:48:46.000Hey, so, Biette, like today we've been talking about the power of the military-industrial complex and how America requires ongoing war in order to function.
00:48:54.000One of the things I enjoyed most about today's show was watching a mainstream media reporter from, I think, ABC News in Taiwan talking to Taiwanese people.
00:49:04.000And where it's like a Taoist country, the reporter's going, Hey, are you worried about this war?
00:49:10.000And they're like, well, there's not really anything I can do about it.
00:49:13.000They were talking about it like they are connected to an inner psychic realm that prevents them from being stimulated into a place of total manipulation.
00:49:26.000How can we, those of us that have been schooled in materialism and individualism, who have had our fear and desire stoked and agitated for our whole lives, Access the necessary resources of sanguinity, peace, and quiet power within, Biette.
00:50:27.000But aside from haircuts and sex, are there spiritual techniques accessible to our viewers?
00:50:35.000Although they can also get, you know, haircuts and have sex if they want as well.
00:50:39.000It's so interesting, because the truth is, is like, you could be completely asleep to the problem.
00:50:44.000You know, many Americans are, many people are, they're asleep to that there even is a problem.
00:50:50.000And not just in the world, and in Taiwan, and in Ukraine, they're asleep to the fact that there's any problem in their own life.
00:50:57.000And so they're doing many things to sedate themselves, whether it be food, or drugs, or porn, or whatever they're doing to numb themselves.
00:51:05.000But the truth is, is that if you told someone who's asleep in that situation, oh, well, you know, you're asleep in a situation, they'll tell you, I don't have a problem.
00:51:14.000So it kind of starts with, and I think many of your watchers and listeners will agree, they've noticed something's wrong.
00:51:21.000Like they felt that something is awry and they want to solve a problem.
00:51:25.000Once you want to solve a problem, you're already on your way to seeking a spiritual solution, because I have found in my work That there is only one solution, and it is spiritual.
00:51:35.000There's only one solution to all of these problems.
00:51:43.000Sometimes I try to solve them one by one.
00:51:45.000Like, okay, maybe I can generate revenue, or I can accumulate reputation, or I can exercise Petty power.
00:51:58.000But actually, none of those things work.
00:52:02.000So in the end, you've got no choice but to fall backwards into the arms of God.
00:52:08.000That can be difficult if you've only ever been attuned to the dominator culture's matrix.
00:52:16.000So, like, you, like me, have been a drug addict.
00:52:20.000That temporarily can work, but it's not a long-term solution.
00:52:26.000What techniques are you using to keep yourself awake but also connected?
00:52:31.000You know it's interesting that you talk about all those other things like seeking wealth or seeking reputation because actually in my journey I was seeking enlightenment for so long and seeking that freedom, that feeling of peace and ease and in my seeking I kept having these white light experiences and each time I had a white light experience I was like That's it.
00:53:47.000But to me, it's like, I don't know, I mean, I'm neurotic, I'm very filled with desire, I lust for life, I have a lot of ambition, and so what I've noticed is that actually, for me, that never happened.
00:54:40.000And then that's followed by three o'clock, which again, for many of us who are especially very egoic, like myself, like three o'clock, I'm like, wait a minute, where did enlightenment go?
00:55:05.000And then Creative Flow is led by number 6 o'clock, right?
00:55:09.000We're looking at a clock. 6 o'clock is ambition and, you know, getting out into the world and sharing it.
00:55:16.000So you create a podcast, you create spreadsheets, you have to earn some money, you gotta get some funding, you need to do marketing events or meet with people or have coffees and lunches.
00:55:28.000All these things don't feel like enlightenment at all.
00:55:38.000It's where you're struck in the face that you're on a planet, hurtling towards death, and you get an email, you didn't get the funding you wanted, or you get an email that says, no, that this company doesn't want that, and that person doesn't want that, or they're shutting this down, and everything you wanted is not working your way.
00:55:55.000And if you're like me, and you're still filled with desire, you're like, fuck!
00:56:24.000And so the wheel just keeps churning and churning.
00:56:26.000And once my definition of enlightenment changed to that wheel, I felt at ease whenever I was in other epochs.
00:56:33.000So, like, if I was doing spreadsheets, I was like, whatever, I'm gonna be moving towards having my ass kicked in humility any minute now!
00:56:40.000Or, like, when I was, like, on a stage in front of thousands of people, I was like, I'm a total loser, too, because I know 9 o'clock's coming, or I know 3 o'clock's coming.
00:56:49.000And it all feels much more integrated for me today.
00:57:13.000Well, no, I actually love it now, because the distance has changed.
00:57:16.000Like, I used to work so hard, every time I'd get to nine o'clock, I was like, something's wrong, I'm not enlightened anymore, who is this Biette Simkin who's traveled so far, and her whole family died, and she's overcome heroin addiction, and she went from poverty to wealth, and wow!
00:57:33.000What a fucking, like, Fuck you, number nine o'clock, you know?
00:57:36.000But then, it dawned on me that what if nine o'clock is just my little, bzzz, my little alarm clock to go humble again?
00:57:47.000Alright then, alright, what, then, why don't we stay at nine o'clock?
00:57:53.000I mean, in some way, I kinda do, but it is fun to do all the other parts, isn't it?
00:57:57.000Isn't it fun to run through the wind remembering who you are, and connecting with souls that you really respect, and being at a beautiful banquet with candlelight, and eating delicious food, or making love to your partner?
00:58:23.000And also, what if that's the way that I wanted it?
00:58:25.000You know, like in that movie, The Matrix, I remember there's a part where they said we designed a perfect world for them, but they hated it.
00:58:32.000They wanted a fucked up place to live where everything was wrong.
00:58:45.000Dan, why don't you show our viewers that I've got an area?
00:58:48.000Biet, you won't be able to see that because you're not watching this on telly, because you are on the telly, and that's just how life works.
00:59:20.000Listen, it's six in the morning today, which is basically when we started this whole thing.
00:59:24.000There was a two-month-old screaming her head off, a four-year-old talking about who knows what while she put on her, like, ribbons in her hair to head out to have some waffles with her dad and a nanny.
00:59:46.000You keep going around that clock, right?
00:59:48.000I'm going to go over there now, then, to that area, and we will do some breathwork together.
00:59:52.000Now, I'm going to warn you, if you've not done breathwork with Biet before, or breathwork of any type before, don't do it if you're, for example, in command of a fighter jet, and you're about to, say, drop bombs above the Black Sea.
01:00:06.000Or, if you're in Vegas, operating a drone.
01:00:08.000If you're involved in any of the machinations of the military-industrial co- Well, actually, do do it, but stop Stop running the machine.
01:02:37.000Hit the chest, release the air, and come down exactly like Russell is doing.
01:02:42.000Hopefully you're waiting till you get all the instructions at home
01:02:45.000because you really wanna make sure that you are doing this correctly before you start.
01:02:52.000So three rounds, always through the mouth, deeply inhaling, deeply exhaling.
01:02:57.000On the fourth one, come up on the knees, hold the breath, hold the breath, hit the chest, release the air only once you hit the chest, and come down.
01:03:05.000Now, what I want to recall is very important, is relaxation.
01:03:09.000You're going to feel at some points that maybe this is like a yoga pose, and you want to get vinyasa about it.
01:03:15.000You really want to relax your body as much as possible.
01:03:18.000And I'll be here to remind you as we go.
01:03:21.000Russell, do you feel like that's enough information and we can move forward into the actual practice?
01:03:26.000Yes, I always find it helpful to push my, when I do this with other people, I tell them to push their chin up when they're in the up position of the inhale.
01:03:37.000I tell them to bring their mindfulness to pushing their belly out when they're at the end of the inhale and to really relax on the exhale.
01:03:46.000Tell them that focusing to that degree has the added advantage of stopping you thinking about whether or not your parents love you, or if you're a good enough parent, or whether or not Taiwan are going to be the next target for a proxy war with a neighboring superpower.
01:04:03.000Well, you know, I would love it if you just came on tour with me, like, whenever I am, so you could just follow up with those extra details, because it just makes it all the better having you here to help me explain it.
01:04:27.000Setting an intention with the first breath, just that you have a completely open mind to have a new experience with breath work and with this moment.
01:06:12.000And this isn't a denominational prayer, this isn't to any particular god, this is actually just that trinity of connecting to that inner self that knows all, and just asking it to help you today.
01:06:23.000So if you're at home listening, you know, just say, please help me.
01:06:26.000You could whisper it to yourself or say it internally with the mind's eye.
01:06:33.000And with that help, bringing the hands out, hands to either side of the body, getting really focused, and let's begin.
01:07:59.000Also, like I want to, I think it's important to, it might not be important, I'm going to point out that when you do stuff like this, in a way, the accompaniment to the ongoing critiques that we offer of establishment power have to be accompanied with a personal
01:08:26.000awakening and personal change. Sometimes It's possible that you're all in the base fabric of reality, or at least reality as we understand reality.
01:08:51.000But yeah, we'll do the last round over on locals exclusively for our locals community.
01:09:46.000And you can sign up to Locals to get like exclusive Q&As, do extra meditations like the one with me and Biette.
01:09:52.000Join me for a guided meditation and even choose a guided meditation and do one personally with me.
01:09:57.000Today I did one with a lady called Noelle who's facing an important decision and she wanted some guidance and we did a meditation around that and I feel like it helped, at least she said it did.
