• Mass incarceration is a policy that's kind of built up over the last four decades and it's destroyed families and communities, and something we need to change.

• We need a change in consciousness to go with this technology platform. We need a new narrative: we need to shift from geopolitics to biosphere consciousness in one generation. The biosphere is understood here as what goes from the biosphere to the depths of the ocean 40 miles where all living beings interact with all chemicals to create a very complex choreography that we call "life on earth". That is biosphere that is our indivisible community.

• Everyone wants to make good decisions. But how do you know when you are being guided by the Eck (Holy Spirit) or the mind.

You're quicker to admit that an earlier decision based on sketchy information needs to change.

'Thank You!'

• We have to think and see how we can fundamentally change our education system so that we can train people to develop warm-heartedness early on in order to create a healthier society. I don't mean we need to change the whole system, just improve it. We need to encourage an understanding that inner peace comes from relying on human values like, love, compassion, tolerance and honesty, and that peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace.
