GOP growing frustrated with Trump's trade threats - Duration: 5:56.
GOP growing frustrated with Trump's trade threats
BY ALEXANDER BOLTON
Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to proceed cautiously on the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) after he shocked leaders in Canada and Mexico by threatening
to pull out of the 23-year-old accord.
They immediately registered their alarm with the administration after word leaked last
week that Trump was considering an executive order to pull out of the trade pact.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who has jurisdiction over trade
and customs, said he was troubled by news of the order and �raised some concerns,
too,� with the administration.
Trump quickly dropped the threat, giving Republicans a sense of whiplash.
�I couldn�t tell whether that was a strategy or just a miscue inside the White House,�
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said of the reversal.
Trump has ratcheted up his trade tactics in recent days, slapping a 20 percent tariff
on softwood lumber imports from Canada and warning that he will not tolerate what he
says is unfair treatment of American dairy imported to Canada.
But the tough talk is making his allies in Congress nervous because Canada and Mexico,
the two other signatories to NAFTA, buy billions of dollars in American goods.
�As far as any renegotiation, you have to be careful to make sure you�re going to
get a better deal for our farmers who rely on exports, our manufacturers and others,�
said Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), whose home state borders Canada and exports corn and
dry beans to Mexico.
�If you�re going to go down that road, you better know you can get a better deal,�
he added.
GOP senators say worries about trade disputes are running high in their conference.
While they are open to changing NAFTA, especially to strengthen enforcement provisions that
have been largely ignored by U.S. trade officials, the framework of the pact should remain intact,
they say.
�There�s a lot of sentiment along those lines,� said Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.),
whose home state exported $1.2 billion to Canada and $837 million to Mexico in 2015,
its two biggest foreign markets.
GOP lawmakers say Trump is playing with fire and warn that billions of dollars in American
exports hang in the balance while global competitors such as China and Brazil wait to pounce on
agricultural markets in North America.
�As a Kansan, our state would be very much impacted by the loss of a trading relationship,
the ability to export to Mexico and Canada,� said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.). �We need
to make certain our relationship with those countries doesn�t deteriorate over a conversation
about renegotiating NAFTA or pulling out.�
GOP lawmakers for weeks have been calling on the president to begin showing progress
on negotiating one-on-one trade deals with other countries to make up for his opposition
to multilateral trade deals, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Trump pulled out of after
taking office.
So far they have seen little in the way of results, to their mounting frustration.
�The problem as I see it is you have a White House trade council who insists on 24 different
policies and bilateral agreements,� said Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), the chairman of
the Senate Agriculture Committee and a member of the Finance panel.
�We also have to export things that we grow,� he said. �Right now we have Russia selling
more wheat than the United States and Brazil finally coming to fruition as a major, major
agricultural exporter, exporting more soybeans than the United States.
�We have to reach a better understanding within the administration,� he added.
The United States sent $20.5 billion in food products to Canada in 2016, making it the
second-largest agricultural export market. America exported $17.9 billion to Mexico last
year, the third-biggest market.
Pulling out of NAFTA would deal a heavy blow to farmers in agriculture-heavy red states,
GOP senators warn. They say voters in those states played just as important of a role
in electing Trump as blue-collar workers in manufacturing states.
Lawmakers hope the administration will change its tune with major agricultural trading partners
now that the Senate has confirmed Sonny Perdue as secretary of Agriculture.
Trump�s pick to serve as U.S. trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, is still pending.
It remains unclear how serious Trump is about leaving NAFTA.
The draft order certainly grabbed the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
and Mexican President Enrique Pe�a Nieto, but might have been a negotiating ploy.
After dropping the order, Trump praised the U.S. relationship with both countries as �very
special� and expressed hope of renegotiating a �fair deal.�
But Republicans in Congress worry that testing those relationships could be dangerous, especially
when foreign competitors, whether it be Russia, Brazil or China, are looking to grab U.S.
market share.
�We knock the number two and three countries in the head, you may do lumber a favor but
the retaliation coming back � you really have to think these things through with regard
to the law of unintended effects,� Roberts said.

How Is Whiskey Made? - Duration: 4:55.
You might be a whiskey snob, or a whiskey lover, but are you a whiskey nerd?
Well sit back and watch because we've got some whiskey science for you!
All booze making starts the same way--by mixing micro-organisms (usually yeast) and sugar.
The microbes eat the sugar and makes alcohol as a byproduct of their digestion process,
which we call fermentation.
And actually, that should be alcohols.
The important one--the one that humans like so much--is ethanol.
Anyway, whiskey's yeasts get the sugar for fermentation from grains, however, which grain
depends on what you're drinking.
Scotch whisky mainly uses malted barley.
The malting process halts the grains' growth so it's only partly sprouted.
If it's a single malt whiskey, that means it came from a single distillery with only
malted barley.
Scotch grain whiskies and American whiskeys use cereal grains like corn and wheat.
Bourbon whiskey has to be made from at least 51% corn, while rye whiskey has to be at least
51% rye.
There is all kinds of other whiskeys -- we're looking at you Irish whiskey -- but we don't
have enough time to cover everything.
You'll have to ask your bartender.
What separates beer and wine from whiskey is what happens after fermentation.
At that point, they're all about 5 to 10 percent ethanol.
But liquors routinely get up to 40 or 50 percent and even higher.
How?
Distillation.
Distillation is a way to separate different chemicals according to their boiling points.
Ethanol boils at 173.1 degrees fahrenheit.
Methanol--which is poisonous--boils at 148.5 degrees fahrenheit.
So if you pour your mash -- the fermented water-grain mixture -- into a pot and start
heating it, the methanol will boil off first, followed by ethanol.
After that, you'll be left with mostly water.
Now onto the good stuff.
Whiskey needs to retain the flavors from the fermentation … otherwise all liquor would
taste like vodka or worse, Everclear.
Whiskey makers have ways to raise the ethanol percentage while retaining all the yummy flavors.
The mash is poured into a still and steam is pumped in at the bottom.
We should note the structure of the still depends on the spirit - scotch is made in
pots, but bourbon is made using columns which separate out even more flavors.
Inside these columns is a stack of chambers separated by perforated plates.
Ethanol-rich vapor rises from the pot.
At the highest, coldest, points of the column, the vapor condenses out and and drips back
down into the hotter zones where the flavor molecules easily dissolve in the ethanol-rich
liquid.
Flavor molecules like ethyl hexanoate, which has an apple-like aroma, or diacetyl, which
makes for a buttery taste.
Over time that concentrates the flavor and the alcohol.
Thanks column still!
But not all flavors are good flavors.
So distillers usually make their column stills from copper or give them copper linings.
The copper reacts with sulfur-containing compounds, which often have bad flavors and smells.
Hydrogen sulfide is a common one.
No one wants the smell of rotten eggs in their glass.
So distillation sends all those flavors and ethanol up the column.
Near the top, that alcoholic mixture drips out this arm.
Since most mashes start out the same, it's the distillery's own unique distilling process
that really makes their product stand out.
Still designs and processing methods used are carefully protected knowledge, putting
each distillery's special note on a mash that starts pretty much the same for everyone.
The key to whiskey's flavor is the aging process, not fermentation.
Once we put whiskey in those barrels, it does what it does best, thanks to ethanol.
Ethanol is really good about dissolving flavor molecules so once we've got whiskey in those
barrels it starts leeching all those delicious flavor chemicals out of the wood of the barrels.
To get even more flavor into the whiskey, the insides of the barrel are charred with
flame.
That causes chemical reactions in the wood that produce a whole range of additional flavors.
Charring is good for making more phenolic compounds, exemplified by this structure.
One of them, guaiacol, has a smokey flavor.
Meta-cresol smells a bit like bandaids and shows up in scotch, mostly thanks to the peaty
smoke that's used in scotch distilling.
No, I don't understand scotch drinkers either.
Changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature throughout the year force whiskey in and out
of the wood as it ages, helping it pick up more of those flavor molecules.
That's one reason connoisseurs insist aging increases the depth of a whiskey's taste.
Actually, some whiskey makers are trying to see if there's a shortcut for that.
Some high-tech distillers are experimenting with using sound waves or varying pressure
to artificially speed up whiskey aging, which some traditionalists aren't very into.
But these newcomers think they can reduce the aging process from years to mere hours.
Who's ready for a drink?
The next time you're enjoying whiskey with your friends, you can regale them with all
the whiskey chemistry you learned from today's video.
A special thanks to District Distilling Company for letting us film today and thank you for

ANNOUNCER: THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PAID FOR
BY THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
JOYCE: WELL, THERE REALLY IS NO PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE
THAT'S TOO BIG FOR GOD TO SOLVE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS GOD'S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR US IN EVERY
SITUATION.
WE NEED TO BELIEVE THAT.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TEACHING ON GRACE, AND THEN I'LL BE BACK
LATER WITH SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ON THIS TOPIC.
JOYCE: WELL, HOW CAN I CHANGE?
I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE.
WE CAN'T--YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO JUST BE HAPPY
TO STAY THE WAY WE ARE.
"WELL, PRAISE GOD, JOYCE, THAT I CAN HAVE WEAKNESSES.
I JUST, WELL--" NO, EVERY TIME WE READ THE WORD,
WE PROBABLY SEE SOME AREA WHERE WE NEED TO COME UP
A LITTLE HIGHER.
I HOPE THAT YOU ARE CONVICTED OF SOMETHING THIS WEEKEND, BECAUSE
I WANT TO MOVE YOU ALONG.
I WANT THE WORD TO BE A PROD TO MOVE US ALL ALONG SO WE GLORIFY
GOD A LITTLE BIT MORE.
I WANT TO GLORIFY GOD A LITTLE MORE TOMORROW THAN I DID TODAY,
AMEN?
AND SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT GALATIANS 3:1-3.
HOW CAN I CHANGE?
WELL, LET'S FIRST LOOK AT HOW WE CANNOT CHANGE.
"YOU POOR, SILLY, THOUGHTLESS, UNREFLECTING,
SENSELESS," FLORIDIANS.
[LAUGHING]
JOYCE: JUST SO WE CAN TAKE THIS PERSONAL--OR WHEREVER
YOU'RE AT IN THE WORLD TODAY.
HE'S TALKING HERE TO THE GALATIAN CHURCH,
BUT WE NEED TO PERSONALIZE THIS.
"WHO HAS FASCINATED OR BEWITCHED OR CAST A SPELL OVER YOU, UNTO
WHOM--RIGHT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES--JESUS CHRIST (THE MESSIAH)
WAS OPENLY AND GRAPHICALLY SET FORTH AND PORTRAYED
AS CRUCIFIED?
LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION: DID YOU RECEIVE THE [HOLY] SPIRIT
AS THE RESULT OF OBEYING THE LAW AND DOING ITS WORKS,
OR WAS IT BY BELIEVING [THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL]?
[WAS IT FROM OBSERVING A LAW OF RITUALS OR WAS IT
FROM A MESSAGE OF FAITH?]"
NOW, LAST NIGHT, WE HAD 1083 PEOPLE STAND UP TO SAY THAT THEY
WANTED TO BE BORN AGAIN OR TO RENEW A BACKSLIDDEN
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, 1083.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN TO THEM?
WAS IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THEY DID?
NO, WHAT THEY HAD BEEN DOING WAS SINNING.
SO, HERE'S WHAT THEY DID.
"I BELIEVE.
YEP, I HEARD YOU.
JESUS DIED FOR ME, HE FORGAVE MY SIN, HE LOVES ME.
I CAN HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
YES, I BELIEVE THAT."
SO, THEY RECEIVED IT BY FAITH.
AND THEN WE LOOKED AT A SCRIPTURE LAST NIGHT
IN COLOSSIANS 2:6 THAT SAYS, "THE SAME WAY THAT WE
RECEIVE CHRIST JESUS, THIS IS THE SAME WAY THAT
WE NOW MUST LIVE AND WALK."
SO, WE ARE BORN AGAIN BY FAITH, WE WALK BY FAITH.
HOW DO WE WALK?
WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME.
"I WALK BY FAITH. I WALK BY FAITH.
I WALK BY FAITH."
WELL, DO WE REALLY?
"I WALK BY FAITH" MEANS THAT I DON'T THINK THAT I'M GONNA
GET ANYTHING BY MY WORKS AND SELF-EFFORT, BECAUSE EVEN IF I
DO MANAGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY PROBLEM, I COULD NOT BE
DOING IT IF GOD DIDN'T GIVE ME THE GRACE TO DO IT.
IF I HAVE ONE GOOD IDEA, IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M SMART.
IT'S BECAUSE GOD GAVE ME THE GOOD IDEA.
MY ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE CAME FROM GOD.
I NEVER TOOK LESSONS ON HOW TO DO THIS.
I'VE NEVER TAKEN A LESSON HOW TO PUT TOGETHER A SERMON.
NOBODY'S EVER TAUGHT ME HOW TO PREACH.
I JUST SHOWED UP ON PLANET EARTH TALKING.
[APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: AND I HAPPEN TO BE A GOOD COMMUNICATOR.
I DON'T JUST TALK, BUT I CAN GET MY POINT ACROSS.
THAT'S A GIFT.
THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T DO.
I DON'T COOK VERY WELL.
I MEAN, I CAN KEEP YOU FROM STARVING, BUT YOU KNOW,
I DON'T--I MEAN, I WAS OKAY WHEN MY KIDS WERE LITTLE,
BUT I JUST--I DON'T WANT NO PART OF IT NOW.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT SUSIE HOMEMAKER,
BUT I'M A GOOD WIFE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE NORMAL LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE TO BE GOOD
AT SOMETHING.
'CAUSE WHATEVER YOU CAN'T DO, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
YOU CAN DO, AMEN?
"LET ME ASK YOU ONE THING: HOW DID YOU RECEIVE
THE [HOLY] SPIRIT?
WAS IT BY WORKS OR WAS IT BY FAITH?"
VERSE 3, I LOVE THIS.
"ARE YOU SO FOOLISH AND SO SENSELESS AND SO SILLY?
HAVING BEGUN [YOUR NEW LIFE SPIRITUALLY]
WITH THE [HOLY] SPIRIT, ARE YOU NOW REACHING PERFECTION
[BY DEPENDENCE] ON THE FLESH?" WOW, WAS THAT FREEING TO ME
WHEN I FIRST SAW THAT ABOUT 25-30 YEARS AGO.
I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO BE GOOD, AND I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO NOT
HAVE WEAKNESSES, AND TO BE WHAT I THOUGHT THAT GOD EXPECTED ME
TO BE, AND I WAS JUST SO FRUSTRATED ALL THE TIME.
I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE MY KIDS, I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE MYSELF,
I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE DAVE, I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE
MY CIRCUMSTANCES, I WAS TRYING TO MAKE MY MINISTRY GROW.
I'VE SAID FOR YEARS I TRIED 'TIL I ALMOST DIED.
AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE.
I KINDA SORTA KNEW THAT, BUT I WAS BYPASSING THAT.
I MEAN, I DID BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS MY SAVIOR, BUT THAT I GUESS
I KINDA FELT LIKE AFTER THAT, I HAD TO DO THE REST.
I KNEW ABOUT THIS GRACE THAT WOULD SAVE ME, BUT I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE GRACE THAT I COULD LIVE BY.
AND WHAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY IS THE SAME GRACE THAT
SAVED YOU IS THE SAME GRACE THAT WILL GET YOU THROUGH EVERY DAY,
THE SAME GRACE THAT WILL CHANGE YOU, THAT WILL HELP YOU
INTO NEW LEVELS OF HOLINESS, THAT WILL GIVE YOU FAVOR, THAT
WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU, THAT WILL OPEN DOORS FOR YOU.
THAT SAME FAVOR IS WHAT WE HAVE TO HAVE, THAT SAME GRACE IN
EVERY SINGLE AREA OF OUR LIFE, AND WE NEED TO LEARN HOW
TO LIVE BY GRACE, AND THEN LIFE GETS GOOD, WHOO!
AND JUST IN CASE YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE A SPECIAL CASE AND THIS
COULDN'T POSSIBLY WORK FOR YOU, WELL TONIGHT, I'M GONNA
TALK ABOUT A SPECIAL GRACE FOR A SPECIAL CASE.
'CAUSE YOU SEE, HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF A MESS WE'VE GOT, GOD'S GOT
MORE GRACE THAN OUR MESS.
"WHERE SIN DOES ABOUND, GRACE DOES MUCH MORE ABOUND."
YOU CANNOT--YOU JUST CANNOT HAVE A PROBLEM THAT GOD CAN'T SOLVE.
CAN YOU HEAR ME TODAY?
I SAID YOU CANNOT, YOU DO NOT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE
A PROBLEM THAT GOD CANNOT SOLVE.
[APPLAUDING]
JOYCE: HALLELUJAH!
PSALM 121--I MEAN, PSALM 127:1 SAYS, "UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS
THE HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN."
NOW, LET'S NOT RUSH OVER THAT.
THEY LABOR, THEY WORK AT IT, THEY LABOR.
WHEN YOU LABOR, YOU'RE TIRED AND WORN OUT ALL THE TIME.
THEY LABOR AND THEIR LABOR IS IN VAIN.
YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
TO BE A TRULY SUCCESSFUL PERSON IF YOU DON'T LEARN HOW TO
RECEIVE GOD'S GRACE AND LET HIM DO IT THROUGH YOU, AND THEN GIVE
HIM THE CREDIT AND THE GLORY.
YOU SAY, "WELL, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL AND
THEY'RE NOT EVEN BELIEVERS."
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY'RE NOT REALLY SUCCESSFUL.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
THEY MAY HAVE OUTWARD SUCCESS, BUT THEY HAVE NO PEACE.
THEY HAVE NO JOY.
THEY'RE PROBABLY TOTALLY SELFISH AND SELF-CENTERED.
THEY GIVE THEMSELVES ALL THE CREDIT.
THEY MAY HAVE NO FRIENDS.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THEY'RE LACKING.
JUST HAVING OUTWARD SUCCESS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE
A SUCCESSFUL PERSON.
AND I LEARNED THAT A LONG TIME AGO, THAT I WAS NOT A SUCCESSFUL
MINISTER IF ALL I HAD WAS A CROWD AND I HAD NO PEACE
AND NO JOY AT HOME.
I FOUND OUT NO MATTER WHAT I WAS ABLE TO SAY TO YOU AND NO MATTER
HOW MANY PEOPLE I COULD DRAW IN HERE, IF I WASN'T ENJOYING
MY MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY,
THEN I DIDN'T HAVE A REAL LIFE.
AND I WANT TO BE TRULY SUCCESSFUL, AND ONLY GOD
CAN MAKE US TRULY SUCCESSFUL.
WE ARE TOTALLY BUILT FOR GOD AND WE ARE COMPLETELY INCAPABLE
OF FUNCTIONING RIGHT WITH ANYTHING ELSE.
WE ARE CREATED BY GOD, MADE FOR GOD, MADE FOR HIS GLORY, AND FOR
NOTHING ELSE, AND UNTIL WE LEARN THAT, WE'RE GONNA BE MISERABLE.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO?
ALRIGHT, I KNOW, WE ALL WANT TO DO SOMETHING, SO LET ME GIVE
YOU FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO.
NUMBER ONE, BELIEVE.
NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING TO DO BECAUSE
IT IS A SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY.
IT'S NOT A FLESHLY ACTIVITY.
I CAN'T CHANGE DAVE, BUT I CAN BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN CHANGE
DAVE IF DAVE IN FACT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
AND I NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THAT JUST 'CAUSE I THINK HE NEEDS TO
CHANGE DOESN'T MEAN HE REALLY NEEDS TO CHANGE, BECAUSE MAYBE
I'M THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE AND I JUST DON'T SEE IT.
SO, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO COME TO GOD WITH HUMILITY.
BEFORE YOU START PRAYING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO CHANGE,
YOU BETTER SAY AN, "OH GOD, IN CASE."
I WAS READING OBADIAH 1:3 LAST WEEK, "THE PRIDE OF THINE HEART
HATH DECEIVED THEE."
BOY, WE CAN JUST THINK THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS,
THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS GOT ALL THE PROBLEMS, AND IT'S BECAUSE
WE JUST DON'T SEE OURSELVES.
WE LOOK AT EVERYBODY ELSE THROUGH A MAGNIFYING GLASS, BUT
WE HAVE THESE NICE ROSY-COLORED GLASSES WE LOOK AT OURSELVES
THROUGH, AMEN?
THE PRIDE OF OUR HEART CAN DECEIVE US, SO EVEN WHEN WE PRAY
FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO CHANGE, WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE PRAY.
SO, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I DO.
ANY TIME THAT I PRAY FOR DAVE IN ANY AREA, I'LL ALWAYS PRAY
FOR MYSELF AT THE SAME TIME.
I JUST GO TO GOD AND TAKE US AS A GROUP, AMEN?
JOHN 6:28-29, "THEY THEN SAID," VERSE 28, "WHAT ARE WE TO DO?"
YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S A LITTLE DEMON
THAT'S SENT OUT FROM HELL.
WE EACH HAVE ONE, MAYBE ONE ON EACH SHOULDER, THIS LITTLE
QUIRKY, SQUIRRELY, UGLY, SLIMY, GOOFY CHARACTER THAT SITS RIGHT
ABOUT RIGHT HERE, AND HE JUST SCREAMS IN YOUR EAR ALL DAY,
"WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" AND WE FEEL PRESSURED
TO DO SOMETHING.
"WELL, I HEARD ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" AND WE ALMOST FEEL DUMB IF WE
SAY, "I DON'T KNOW," BUT WE NEED TO SAY, "NOTHING THAT I DO WOULD
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE ANYWAY.
I'M WAITING ON GOD TO DO SOMETHING.
NOW, IF GOD SHOWS ME SOMETHING, I WILL DO IT.
BUT EVEN THEN, WHAT I DO I'LL HAVE TO DO BY HIS GRACE,
SO IT'S NOT MY DOING, IT'S HIM DOING IT THROUGH ME."
THIS IS JUST A NIGHTMARE FOR OUR FLESH BECAUSE
THE FLESH WANTS CREDIT.
THE FLESH WANTS TO BRAG AND GET A HAND CLAP.
"OH, WONDERFUL FLESH."
"WHAT ARE WE TO DO, THAT WE MIGHT BE WORKING
THE WORKS OF GOD?
[WHAT CAN WE DO TO CARRY OUT WHAT GOD REQUIRES?]
AND JESUS REPLIED," VERSE 29, "THIS IS THE WORK (THE SERVICE)
THAT GOD ASKS OF YOU: THAT YOU BELIEVE."
WELL, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE THERE.
NOPE, SURE ENOUGH, THAT'S ALL IT SAYS.
"THAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE ONE WHOM HE HAS SENT
[THAT YOU CLEAVE TO, TRUST IN, RELY ON, AND HAVE FAITH
IN HIS MESSENGER]"
YOU'VE GOT TO LEAN INTO GOD.
"WELL, HOW CAN I TELL IF I'M BELIEVING?"
IT'S EXTREMELY SIMPLE.
YOU WANT TO SEE IT?
HEBREWS 4:3...
"FOR WE WHO HAVE BELIEVED DO ENTER THAT REST OF GOD."
HOW CAN I TELL IF I'M BELIEVING?
I'M NOT WORRIED, I'M NOT FRUSTRATED, I'M NOT UPSET.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, DON'T KNOW
THAT I CARE ALL THAT MUCH.
GOD'LL DO IT AT THE RIGHT TIME WHEN HE'S GOOD AND READY.
ME TRYING TO MAKE HIM HURRY WON'T WORK.
I'VE FOUND OUT GOD'S USUALLY NOT EARLY, BUT HE'S NEVER LATE.
WHEN WE HAVE BELIEVED, WE DO ENTER THE REST OF GOD.
JOYCE: WELL, WE ALL NEED TO LEARN HOW TO RECEIVE
THE GRACE OF GOD INTO OUR LIVES.
AND I HOPE THE TEACHING TODAY WAS HELPFUL TO YOU.
NOW, GINGER'S WITH ME AND SHE'S GONNA ASK SOME
OF THE QUESTIONS YOU'VE SENT IN.
AND I, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AM GOING TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM.
GINGER: THAT'S THE WAY GRACE WORKS.
IT'S THERE FOR US WHEN WE NEED IT.
WELL, HERE'S A GREAT PLACE TO START.
AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS, BUT JUST THE BASICS.
JAMES ASKS: "CAN YOU EXPLAIN IN DETAIL WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD
ACTUALLY IS?" JOYCE: WELL, IF YOU LOOK UP
THE PROPER GREEK DEFINITION, IT'S GONNA SAY THAT
"IT'S UNDESERVED FAVOR."
IT'S GOD GIVING US, BY HIS GOODNESS, WHAT WE DON'T
AND NEVER COULD DESERVE.
BUT A DEEPER STUDY EVEN INTO THE FULL MEANING IN THE GREEK
BRINGS OUT THAT IT'S ALSO GOD'S ENABLING POWER.
SO IT'S NOT JUST HIM DOING SOMETHING FOR US, BUT IT'S HIM
ENABLING US TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
AND SO, REALLY, IF YOU THINK ABOUT HOW DEPENDENT GOD WANTS US
TO BE ON HIM, IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
HE NOT ONLY WANTS US TO DEPEND ON HIM TO SHOW US WHAT TO DO,
BUT THEN HE WANTS US TO DEPEND ON HIM TO ENABLE US TO DO IT.
AND SO I LIKE TO SAY THIS, THAT GOD'S GRACE IS HIS POWER COMING
TO US FREE OF CHARGE THAT ENABLES US TO DO WHATEVER
WE NEED TO DO, AND THAT WE NEVER COULD DO WITHOUT HIS HELP.
IT'S JUST, IT'S HIS GOODNESS.
IT'S HIS POWER.
IT'S HIS ABILITY.
AND I WILL BE VERY HONEST WITH YA, HAD I NOT LEARNED WHAT THE
GRACE OF GOD WAS SOME 30 YEARS AGO, I THINK I PROBABLY WOULD
HAVE JUST DIED FROM FRUSTRATION.
BECAUSE I WAS JUST TRYING, TRYING, TRYING, AND FAILING
ALL THE TIME.
GINGER: WELL, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT
SO DIFFICULT FOR US TO GET.
BECAUSE IT DOES JUST SOUND SO GOOD.
HOW CAN IT BE TRUE?
BUT IT IS.
SO LET ME ASK YOU SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS THAT GO ALONG
THOSE LINES.
LORAINA ASKS: "HOW DO I LET THE GRACE OF GOD CHANGE ME?
I CAN'T SEE BEYOND THE FACT THAT NOTHING IN MY LIFE IS WORKING,
SO RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T SEE GOD."
SO HOW DOES SHE GET THAT GRACE APPLIED TO HER SITUATION?
JOYCE: WELL, FIRST OF ALL, EVERYTHING THAT GOD OFFERS US
WE HAVE TO RECEIVE.
AND WE'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING.
AND "TO GET" MEANS "TO OBTAIN BY STRUGGLE AND EFFORT."
BUT "TO RECEIVE" MEANS "TO ACT AS A RECEPTACLE AND JUST TAKE
IN WHAT'S BEING OFFERED."
GINGER: IT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
JOYCE: THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
AND OUR FLESH IS SO FULL OF ENERGY.
AND WE ARE SO INDEPENDENT.
WE JUST SO MUCH WANNA THINK THAT WE CAN DO IT.
AND TO BE HONEST, IT'S A PRIDE FACTOR, BUT WE JUST WANNA
GET A LITTLE BIT OF THE CREDIT.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US, AS HUMAN BEINGS, AND THE STRONGER
YOUR PERSONALITY IS-- GINGER: YEAH, I KNOW I CAN BE
THAT WAY, YEAH.
JOYCE: THE MORE DIFFICULT THAT IT IS.
AND SO, ONCE WE LEARN THAT WE REALLY CANNOT DO ANYTHING APART
FROM HIM, AND WE START SAYIN', "OKAY, GOD, I CAN'T DO THIS.
ONLY YOU CAN DO THIS, AND I TRUST YOU."
NOW, THE SECOND PART OF HER QUESTION WAS, "I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING HAPPENING."
WELL, I JUST FINISHED A TEACHING ON THE LAW OF GRADUAL GROWTH
AND I'LL JUST SIMPLY SAY THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S ALIVE
IS GROWING.
AND WHEN WE'RE DEPENDING ON GOD TO HELP US GROW SPIRITUALLY,
WE ARE GROWING.
BUT YOU CAN'T WATCH A TREE GROW.
YOU CAN'T WATCH A FLOWER GROW.
SO EVERYTHING IS GROWING, BUT WE CAN'T SEE IT GROW.
YOU CAN GO BACK AFTER A WHILE AND SEE THE GROWTH,
BUT YOU CAN'T SEE IT GROW.
SO I JUST LOVE TO SAY GOD IS WORKING.
THE BIBLE SIMPLY SAYS THAT AS LONG AS WE'RE BELIEVING,
GOD IS WORKING.
SO WHAT WAS HER NAME?
GINGER: HER NAME WAS LORAINA.
JOYCE: LORAINA, YOU ARE GROWING.
GINGER: EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT SOMETIMES.
JOYCE: EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE IT.
GINGER: THAT'S GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, BRIAN.
BRIAN SAYS: "I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES I'M BEYOND GOD'S HELP,
FOR I'VE FALLEN INTO SIN SO MANY TIMES.
I ASK FORGIVENESS AND I TRY TO REPENT.
IS THERE SOMETHING I NEED TO DO BETTER THAN JUST STOP SINNING?
I WANT THE GRACE OF GOD."
JOYCE: WELL, I HAD HIS ANSWER WITH THE FIRST TWO WORDS
OF HIS QUESTION, "I FEEL."
SEE?
YOU'VE BEEN AROUND ME LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW.
IT'S LIKE WE HAVE FEELINGS AND THEY'RE NEVER GONNA GO AWAY, BUT
HONESTLY, WE DO HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THEM.
AND SO, HERE AGAIN, HE FEELS LIKE HE'S MAKING NO PROGRESS.
HE FEELS LIKE HE KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER
AND OVER.
SO THEN, THE SECOND PART OF THE PROBLEM COMES,
"SO WHAT CAN I DO?" AND THAT'S OUR--WE HAVE TO SAY,
"LORD, THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
I CAN DO NOTHING WITHOUT YOU.
AND I DON'T CARE HOW I FEEL, I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORKING
IN MY LIFE AND I BELIEVE THAT I AM CHANGING LITTLE BY LITTLE,
FROM GLORY TO GLORY, AND THAT I WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE
IF I DON'T QUIT AND GIVE UP."
GINGER: YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY GOOD.
ALL RIGHT, THERE'S SO MANY GOOD QUESTIONS.
LESLIE ASKS: "JOYCE, YOU'VE TAUGHT ME SO MUCH
ABOUT GOD'S GRACE.
BUT," HERE AGAIN, "I ALWAYS AM LETTING HIM DOWN
AND I'M NOT FINISHING THE RACE HE WANTED FROM ME.
SO HOW DO YOU GET OVER GUILT WHEN YOU'VE TRIED YOUR BEST AND
YOUR BEST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH?" JOYCE: WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
SHE SAID, "I'M LETTING HIM DOWN."
AND THAT'S REALLY NOT TRUE BECAUSE GOD'S NOT SURPRISED
BY HER OR ME OR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE.
I USED TO FEEL EXACTLY THE WAY SHE FEELS, AND I REMEMBER SAYIN'
THAT TO GOD, YOU KNOW, "I KNOW YOU'RE SO DISAPPOINTED IN ME."
I CONSTANTLY WAS APOLOGIZING.
"I'M SO SORRY THAT I'M SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT,
THAT I'M SUCH A FAILURE."
AND GOD PUT THAT IN MY HEART, "I'M NOT SURPRISED BY YOU.
I KNEW EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE EVER GONNA DO WRONG BEFORE
YOU EVER DID IT, AND I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE EVER GOING TO
DO WRONG THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE YET, AND I STILL LOVE YOU
AND YOU'RE MY CHILD."
AND YOU SEE, THAT'S THE THING WE HAVE TO REALIZE, IS THAT GOD'S
NOT SURPRISED BY US.
THAT'S WHY JESUS DIED FOR US.
AND SO, THE GUILT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PRETTY BIG SUBJECT
THAT CAN TAKE WAY TOO LONG TO ANSWER.
BUT I SUFFERED WITH GUILT FOR SO LONG.
AND HERE AGAIN, THE THING IS, IS YOU HAVE TO START TO BELIEVE
THE WORD MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE YOUR FEELINGS.
JUST BECAUSE SHE FEELS GUILTY DOES NOT MEAN SHE IS GUILTY.
IF SHE HAS TRULY REPENTED, THEN SHE IS FORGIVEN AND THE FEELINGS
CANNOT DICTATE TO HER THE TRUTH.
SHE HAS TO LOOK TO THE WORD AND SAY, "I DON'T CARE HOW I FEEL.
I AM FORGIVEN."
AND WHEN I DID THAT LONG ENOUGH, THEN THE FEELINGS CHANGED.
I RARELY EVER FEEL GUILTY NOW.
AND IF I DO, I CAN WORK IT OUT WITH GOD IN JUST A VERY SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME.
NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T FEEL BAD WHEN I MAKE MISTAKES.
BUT GOD HAS SO MUCH MORE FOR US TO DO THAN SIT AROUND
AND FEEL BAD ALL THE TIME.
AND IT REALLY HELPED ME TO REALIZE GOD'S NOT SURPRISED
BY ME.
HE KNOWS EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GONNA DO WRONG BEFORE
WE EVER DO IT.
GINGER: YEAH, AND THAT'S SO GOOD BECAUSE WE CAN TAKE THOSE
TRUTHS IN GOD'S WORD AND FIGHT THOSE LIES THAT WE'RE BELIEVING
WITH THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS TELLING US, EXACTLY.
AND YET, AT THE SAME TIME, GRACE DOESN'T MEAN WE JUST
KEEP ON SINNING BECAUSE IT'LL BE COVERED.
AND IT WILL, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S A REALLY INTERESTING
PROCESS, HOW GOD KNOWS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO.
HE'S GONNA LOVE US THROUGH ALL OF IT ANYWAY.
AND HIS GRACE IS BIG ENOUGH FOR WHATEVER WE PUT IN FRONT OF HIM.
JOYCE: YOU SEE, WHAT HAPPENS IS IF YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND
GRACE, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT AN EXCUSE TO SIN AND GET BY
WITH IT.
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GOD'S POWER TO HELP YOU KEEP IMPROVING.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE GONNA
KEEP MAKING MISTAKES.
BUT THE THING IS, IS THE MORE YOU KNOW GOD'S CHARACTER,
THE MORE YOU SEE THE BEAUTY OF WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR YOU,
THE LESS YOU WANNA SIN.
IT'S NOT LIKE, "OH, BOY, NOW I UNDERSTAND GRACE.
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO AND GET BY WITH IT."
I MEAN, IF THAT WAS ANYBODY'S ATTITUDE, THEN THEY REALLY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE THING.
THEY'VE MISSED THE WHOLE POINT OF WHO JESUS IS.
SO WE CAN'T BE AFRAID TO TEACH PEOPLE ABOUT GOD'S GRACE,
BUT PEOPLE DO NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
HAVE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE YOU CAN TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF IT.
GINGER: YEAH, ALL RIGHT, HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION FROM
RUCIO: "GOD HAS CHANGED MY HEART THROUGH HIS GRACE.
HOW DO I GIVE THAT AWAY TO OTHERS WHO DESPERATELY
NEED GRACE FROM ME?
SOME HAVE HURT ME, BUT GOD FORGAVE ME AND SHOWED ME
HIS GRACE.
NOW, HOW DO I SHOW IT TO OTHERS?'
JOYCE: I MEAN, I THINK IT'S JUST A SIMPLE MATTER OF WALKING
IT OUT IN FAITH AND REALIZING THAT EVERYTHING THAT GOD
GIVES TO US HE EXPECTS US TO GIVE TO OTHERS.
AND SHE'S WANTING TO KNOW HOW SHE CAN GIVE GRACE TO OTHERS.
WELL, YOU GIVE IT TO THEM BY GRACE.
IN OTHER WORDS, "I'VE RECEIVED GRACE.
NOW, GOD, I WANT TO GIVE THAT AWAY.
BUT NOW I NEED YOUR GRACE TO ENABLE ME TO GIVE AWAY
THE GRACE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME."
THAT'S WHAT I MEANT IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I SAID, "THIS
LEANING ON GOD THING GOES FAR BEYOND, 'SHOW ME WHAT TO DO
AND I'LL GO DO IT.'" NO, YOU WON'T.
THAT'S THE THING.
WE LEAN ON GOD FOR EVERY SINGLE THING, AND HE LIKES IT.
HE LOVES US BEING TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON HIM.
AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T DO THINGS.
WE DO THINGS, BUT THERE'S NO GOOD THING THAT CAN HAPPEN
THROUGH ME OR YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE IF IT'S NOT GOD WORKING
THROUGH THEM.
GINGER: YEAH, THAT'S WHERE HE WANTS US.
JOYCE: THAT'S RIGHT.
GINGER: YEAH, THANK YOU, JOYCE, VERY HELPFUL.
JOYCE: WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME.
WELL, TODAY WE'RE OFFERING YOU MORE TEACHING ABOUT GRACE,
AND WE JUST SIMPLY CALLED IT, "AMAZING GRACE,"
WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL TITLE.
IT'S A FOUR-CD SERIES, AND WE'RE OFFERING YOU A "GOOD MORNING"
MUG.
YOU CAN GET A GOOD SCRIPTURE WHILE YOU'RE DRINKIN'
YOUR COFFEE.
I WAS TEASIN' THEM EARLIER.
I SAID, "I REMEMBER ONE TIME SAYING I WAS NEVER EVER GOING
TO SELL COFFEE CUPS THROUGH THIS MINISTRY."
AND THEN I BEGAN TO REALIZE, "WELL, YOU'RE GONNA DRINK COFFEE
OUT OF SOMETHIN'.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL PUT THE MONEY INTO THE GOSPEL WHILE
YOU DRINK IT."
GINGER: THAT'S RIGHT, AND GET ENCOURAGED BY IT.
JOYCE: SO THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO SUPPORT THE GOSPEL
AND HAVE YOUR COFFEE CUP TOO.
BUT THE TEACHING IS THE MAIN THING THAT I WANNA GET INTO
YOUR HANDS.
BECAUSE TRULY, NOW LISTEN TO ME, TRULY, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING THAT I THINK IS MORE AMAZING THAN THE GRACE OF GOD.
AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT CAN BRING MORE
PEACE AND MORE JOY AND MORE SUCCESS INTO YOUR LIFE THAN
THE GRACE OF GOD.
AND WHEN I SAY, "SUCCESS," I'M NOT TALKIN' ABOUT YOUR PAYCHECK.
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT BEING SUCCESSFUL AT BEING THE PERSON
THAT YOU KNOW THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE.
AND SO I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS TEACHING WILL BE A GREAT
BENEFIT TO YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEIN' WITH US TODAY, AND GOD BLESS YOU.

3 Weeks to Higher Energy | Doreen Virtue & Robert Reeves - Duration: 18:46.
- Hi, I'm Doreen Virtue.
- And I'm Robert Reeves.
- And welcome to this free video
about how you can have more me time
through increasing your energy level.
- It's so important that we schedule time
for ourselves because there's so much
that all of us are dealing with every single day.
But you know,
we just need to take a couple of those minutes
to really recharge the batteries.
- Mm-hmm.
And we're going to give you some practical tips to do that.
We're both busy also.
Robert's a psychic naturopath
and author of many books,
and as you know I'm a mom
and I've got a million animals
and I've got a life and I also write books
and magazine articles.
And so we've learned the importance of having me time.
In my 25 years of touring around the world
and being a very busy person,
I was on t.v. shows like Oprah and CNN
and the BBC and The View,
shows everywhere,
as well as workshops in Europe and Canada
and Africa and Mexico and you name it,
just everywhere around the world.
I was touring and very, very busy.
And one thing I learned is the importance of having a list.
Now I know, I know,
I resisted it too in the beginning
because I'm the creative, artsy type
and I want to be in my right brain all the time.
I want to relax and chill and flow.
But what I found,
and maybe you've done this too,
is you know you wake up in the morning
and you have the best intentions for that day.
You think yippee,
I've got a whole day,
maybe it's your day off
and you think I'm going to get so much done today.
I'm gonna work on my book,
I'm going to work on my priorities,
I'm gonna go to yoga class.
I'm gonna take a nap and go to the spa.
And you've got all these list in your head
but at the end of the day what happens?
Wait...
You mean it's time to go to bed already
and I didn't get any of this done?
Well that's where I learned the importance
of putting things on a list.
And it doesn't have to be a real hard and fast list,
but just jotting down intentions for the day.
So my intention would be that,
okay I've got a magazine article that's coming up due.
I've learned that if you plan
ahead it reduces your stress level
which is a way to give back to yourself
and have high energy and more me time.
So I write down
that in three days this magazine article
is due and so I will chip away at it over the three days
instead of waiting until the last minute
when that's stressful.
And then writing down something very important on the list.
And that's me time.
And that's right.
You know there's a lot of things
in our life that are non-optional,
like you've gotta brush your teeth,
you've got to brush your hair,
well sometimes (laughing).
- (laughing)
- You've got to get dressed,
you know there's a few non-optional,
eat.
But what is interesting is that me time
so often we look at it as a luxury.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it's not.
It's actually a necessity.
And what's more,
we don't ask permission of our spouse
or our children or some other authority figure
before we brush our teeth.
We just assume we have to do this.
It's just done.
- (giggling)
- And if you're giving away your power
by waiting for someone to go,
"It's okay to take care of you.
Why don't you take care of yourself today honey?"
Or you're waiting for your birthday
or Christmas or some special day
when you can do what you want to do,
it's backwards.
Put it in your list that today
you're going to have me time.
And what we found
is that having regular me time is essential.
And Robert,
as a naturopath and you've helped thousands
of people world-wide with your practice in Sydney, Australia
and you treat people all around the world.
- All around the world.
- Yeah.
And so what have you found about having me time
and physical health?
- Well I've found that so many people are lacking me time.
We as Doreen quite rightly said,
we think of it as this optional extra.
But we do need to take it for ourselves
and a lot of the people that I treat
they have these lists of jobs to do
and they are at the bottom.
You know, you put yourself last.
It's this syndrome
where people will make dinner,
we'll cook for the family,
we enjoy caring for our loved ones
but will give ourselves the scraps and the burnt beards
Leftover at the end.
You deserve just as much as everybody else does.
You know and it's so important
that we recognize this
because as Doreen said
in my experience treating people
from all over the world I've found
that when we don't take care of us,
and then when we put ourselves as this optional extra,
that it really puts an extra strain on our physical body.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know those are the people that come to see me
and they have high blood pressure,
high cholesterol.
They're not happy.
They're probably on some kind of antidepressant as well.
You know and if that's you at the moment then
we're not judging you.
Please don't think that.
But what we want to point out is to make you think,
"How much me time am I including in my day?
You know, am I doing something just for me?"
- Mm-hmm.
- And then the most important part of doing that
is that we don't feel guilty
when we do take time for ourselves.
- So true.
- You know because again,
I have so many clients coming to see me and I say,
just go out,
have that day,
go to the movies or catch up with friends
and they say to me,
"Oh, but I've got so much to do.
I've got to get the laundry done."
Or you know,
"I've got to take the kids to soccer practice."
It's like,
well why aren't you as important?
And we've found that by putting some extra time
for us into our schedule that we're able
to be so much more productive.
- Yep.
- And we have this high energy
so we can give so much more.
And you know,
you mentioned writing down lists,
and I do the same thing.
But what I've even found is just by me writing it down,
it seems to change something.
- Yes.
- I don't even have to go back and look at the list.
- No, it's a commitment!
- (laughing) I know it's just there,
I've written it down.
Now something in my energy is saying,
"Okay, we have to do this now."
- Right.
And the time opens up.
And also when you take care of yourself,
even for a little bit,
even ten minutes,
what do you want to do in that ten minutes?
Do you want to go meditate?
Do you want to go do a little stretching?
Do you want to do gardening or do some painting?
Even ten minutes investment will yield so much high energy
that it feels like you have more hours in the day.
Do you notice that?
- Yeah, mm-hmm.
- I mean, if you're conking out 'cause you're so tired
and drained at around eight o'clock at night,
and you've got all these hours when you can
still get your eight hours of sleep,
if you stay up 'til say,
nine or ten.
Those one or two hour increments would be
so available to you by having higher energy.
And it's super easy to do so.
We have actually created a course about it.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it's an online video course
about 21 days to higher energy.
And the reason that it's 21 days
is because energy is a habit.
When you have a habit of not taking care of yourself.
When you are in the habit of waking up and thinking,
well it's another day,
I've just got my tasks to do,
I need to take care of everyone else,
and that's your mental habit,
then it's hard to turn that around.
So the first point to know about me time
is that it's non-optional.
It's not something that's a luxury,
it's a necessity.
It's something that's important
for your mental and emotional health
and your physical health,
as Robert's found and as we've talked about
in this brand new video course
that I can't wait to share with you.
Robert, a lot of this is what you've researched.
- Mm-hmm.
- And you've written about in our books.
- Absolutely.
So, I've written five books
on nature healing and spirituality.
One of those is "Angel Detox" where we talk
about all these processes to take your life
to a higher level.
And what I've found by working with
so many people in my clinic,
it's really important for us to notice those key threads,
you know, those things that keep coming up for us
that we may need to change.
And so as I was studying my two degrees in natural medicine
I found that as we have a higher energy level,
that that makes it so much easier to make these changes.
So it's not just all about supplements
and taking herbs and things like that.
Of course I believe they can be helpful.
(laughing)
But at the same time, we need to be making sure
that our energy is at a higher level.
Otherwise those changes just won't hold.
- They won't.
- And so that's why we are so excited
about this brand new course because we're sharing things
with you that neither one of us
have ever spoken about before.
- It's true.
In fact, in the 21 Q to Higher Energy course,
you'll see things and hear things
that I've never talked about or written about before.
For instance,
people have asked me for many years
to record a video about me doing yoga
because you know if you've listened to me on Hay House Radio
that I talk about the importance of doing daily,
gentle yoga.
And this is the first time that you'll actually see me
with examples of me doing yoga.
What this is,
is 21 days of Robert and myself coming
into your living room through the magic of the internet,
through your mobile devices,
your mobile phone or your tablet or your computer,
and we're going to coach you.
We're going to be your energy coaches
that every day for 21 days,
three weeks,
are going to be with you and we're going
to work together during those three weeks
every single day.
Giving you a daily tip and a task that's enjoyable,
practical and doesn't cost anything.
It involves what you've got right there in your home.
And with this 21 days you're going to find
that you're going to shift your habit
of how you approach life.
How many times have you made this commitment to yourself?
You read an article or you see something on Facebook.
You say,
"You know what,
I'm going to change my life.
I am now going to live healthier,
I'm going to lose that weight,
I'm going to write that book,
I'm going to finish my degree."
And you have the best intentions
but somewhere along the line you get distracted.
And it's too easy to do.
But that's an old habit,
and just like cigarette smoking,
or eating junk food,
or any other habit that's pulling you down,
to have a positive habit can take 21 days.
Studies show that if you will devote three weeks
to developing a good habit
that it will become natural for you.
It'll be something that's easier,
you will lose that sense of struggle,
or will power,
or anything else that could make you off the path of health.
So imagine Robert and I sitting together--
- (laughing)
- And coming to you and counseling you.
With the 21 Days to Higher Energy course we're also
going to be real available to you
through three live telephone calls.
This is something that is rarely done.
That's right.
You'll be able to ask us questions.
You'll be able to hear what the latest is.
We'll be checking in with you to see how's it going.
With shifting from a low energy lifestyle
to one of even higher.
And listen,
if you're already on a healthy path,
we want to take you to an even higher level
by sharing with you some of the latest scientific studies
and tips that we've learned through our practices
and through our personal lives.
- And this is so exciting for us
because this information isn't just for you right now
for the next 21 days,
but this is something that we really believe
is going to help you well into the future.
I mean these are tips that we use every single day
and that's how we've managed to do
so many different things to be so productive
and proactive to reach our goals and our desires.
And I know that you've got these exciting things
that you want to do and there's things in your life
that are maybe getting in the way
but when we lift our energy up,
when we take ourselves to that next level,
there's nothing that can stand in our way.
- Nothing.
And you know,
you might say to yourself,
"Well I'd love to do this but oh my gosh I'm so busy.
And how am I gonna add one more thing to my schedule?"
Well the nice thing is,
is that our daily coaching with you
is only 10 to 15 minutes and we know
that you can make that time for yourself.
It's part of me time.
And also to think about the benefits.
I remember as a child that the days
when my mother was happy,
when she was laughing and relaxed,
that's when I as a little girl felt the safest,
and happiest.
And so,
if you think about that you're doing this
as a gift to your children,
that you're being a role model for them.
Same with my father.
He worked at a job he couldn't stand.
And one day he just quit his job and said,
"You know what?
I'm going to take my dreams
and make it into my occupation."
And I watched Dad become a success.
Without compromising in his life.
And you know what,
he taught me to do the same,
and now I have a joyful career thanks to Dad
and his high energy decision to live authentically.
Robert and I have this dream and we wanna make sure
that you have this dream too.
To live a life where you feel healthy,
where you feel safe in your body and safe in your world.
Where you don't have negativity around you.
If you have,
for instance,
people in your life and you feel stuck
in toxic relationships,
we're going to help you get unstuck.
- (giggling)
- We're going to come right into your living room
and help you through this video series
to get rid of anything that's in your life
that shouldn't be there.
We're gonna just clear it all out energetically
and physically and help you to welcome health
and positivity.
- We are so excited that you may be able
to join us for the next 21 days
where we will coach you to increase your energy.
To improve your life.
To make healthy choices just for you.
Because we need to honor that special part of us
which is just for us.
I mean there's no point in us just working, working, working
and never getting any of the joy out of this.
And so this is why we are so passionate
and so excited about this new course to take you
to 21 Days of Higher Energy.
- And 21 days all along the way.
As Robert says,
once you purchase the course it's yours.
And you can watch it again and again.
In fact we actually recommend
that you go past the 21 days
and have that be a support for you.
You know sometimes people worry
about spending money on themselves and they think,
well I should really save this money for my family,
but you know what?
When you invest in yourself you're also investing
in your family.
How many times have you spent a lot of money
on something that maybe was a medical experience
that happened because you were stressed
and if you'd been taking better care of yourself
that wouldn't have happened.
Maybe you neglected your dental health
or your eye health or your physical health
and then you know,
things happen that are just tragic as a result.
Or maybe you neglected your car
or you put off your own needs to the point,
and then it got worse.
Well don't neglect yourself any longer.
Invest in yourself by taking a look at
what is in your life that could be shifted
in a positive way.
I can tell you and I'm in my late 50s
and I've got so many responsibilities.
But I always wake up with high energy
no matter what's going on in my life
because of these 21 tips
that we're going to share with you.
Some of them are tips that I've never written about
or had this opportunity through video to demonstrate.
And Robert himself was one of the youngest naturopaths
in Australia and is at a very young age showing
that it doesn't matter how young you are,
that you can make a positive difference in the world.
I mean Robert,
you're not even 30 yet
and you've got five publishing contracts
with Hay House so no matter how young you are
or how old you are,
you can have this high energy through learning how
to focus on what your priorities are.
- So we can't wait to spend the next 21 days taking you
to a higher level.
Taking your energy to a higher level.
- We're also going to be gifting
to you some bonus meditations.
We know you love meditations.
- (laughing)
- And we love giving them to you.
And we've recorded some special meditations
that are just for you for taking this class.
Meditations that are supportive for de-stressing
and also to lift up your energy.
When we talk about high energy,
we're not talking about anxiety or being hyper
or anything like that,
we're talking about peaceful energy.
About being centered and calm and happy
but also having enough energy to finish what you start.
If you've had that experience
where you've had a really good,
fast start on something that was your dream
like writing a book,
or thinking about your degree or some certificate
or anything at all and you've started it
but you've had a hard time finishing it,
that's because you're getting distracted.
But you don't have to be that way.
You can actually have the me time
that we're talking about to have it focused
on working on your priority on a daily basis.
And even more than that,
finishing it and enjoying it
and sharing it with all of us.
So we're so glad that you care about yourself
enough to invest in me time for you.
The 10 to 15 minutes that Robert and I will
be visiting you for the next three weeks
will change your life forever.
Imagine how your life is going to be
when you have a higher energy,
when you have more get-up-and-go when you wake up
in the morning with enthusiasm for your day.
That's our dream and vision for you
and we know that this can happen
because we're going to help you with it.
So we'll look forward to visiting with you very soon.

Conscious Universities for the New Generation
Living in Alliance with the Earth
When I graduated from high school in 1985, college was the unquestionable next step for
an intelligent, middle-class or upper-middle-class young person.
I entered an elite school not out of any particular ambition, but because the story that surrounded
me said that this is how to do life.
College, and probably further degrees thereafter, was the path to full participation in society.
The problem was that, deep down, I didn�t want to fully participate in society.
I sensed a wrongness at the base of things.
As I learned more about the workings of the world, I didn�t want to be part of it.
Even the public service paths, that elite education could prepare me for, seemed themselves
to be still part of the same system.
But I didn�t know of any alternative to university, or perhaps I wasn�t brave enough
to find one.
And besides, at that time I couldn�t identify the cause of my lassitude, my passive rebellion,
my lack of motivation.
Now two of my own sons have reached college age, one 18 and one 20, and neither has yet
gone to college.
The nebulous intuition that led my unconscious rebellion has become, for them, an outright
refusal to follow �the program.� Moreover, they have alternatives that were not on my
radar screen in the 1980s.
Jimi has spent some time in ecological, spiritual, and permaculture programs in the U.S. and
Costa Rica, that prepare people to participate in a future that is not just an extension
of the present, but a different world with different values and different ways of seeing.
Programs like these exist all over the world, yet still, they are scattered and lack a unifying
narrative that might present them as a solid alternative to traditional higher education.
Young people must luck into them or know enough to seek them out.
Wouldn�t it be wonderful if this kind of education � education in what the planet
needs most right now � were more easily accessible?
Teach permaculture Imagine if permaculture practices were taught
in all schools.
Imagine a worldwide archipelago of land-based institutions of learning for people like my
sons; sanctuaries of alternative technologies of earth, mind, matter, and body that are
marginal or absent within conventional universities.
So much of the most exciting work, whether in medicine, agriculture, or social change,
is happening outside academia, invisible to many of the young people who might otherwise
follow them into a career, and lacking the financial support and community of research
that could propel them to the next level.
We need a parallel system of technology development that can guide society as conventional systems
unravel and conventional technologies fail to adequately address our problems.
We need, to use Ken Carey�s phrase, to establish islands of the future in an ocean of the past.
For reasons I will describe soon, let us call these places Institutes for Technologies of
Reunion.
They have two main functions: research and learning.
What is Technology?
What kind of technology are we talking about here?
The word usually brings to mind things like computers, robots, lasers, nano-scale fabrication,
gene editing, chemical engineering, and electronics.
These we think of as �high tech.�
All of these share certain characteristics in common.
They depend on a high degree of specialization; they depend on a vast industrial infrastructure
to produce, they are derived from scientific research, and they are based on the application
of energy to manipulate and control matter.
Accordingly, the standard dictionary definition of technology is �the application of scientific
knowledge for practical purposes.�
These technologies have utterly transformed the world in the last few centuries, but they
are proving incapable of solving the problems we face today, many of which, ironically,
are caused by the very same kind of technology we hope to use to fix them.
Whether it is agricultural chemicals degrading the soil and creating the need for even more
chemicals, or medical interventions causing side effects that require further medical
interventions, technology often becomes a �fix� in the sense of an addiction; requiring
more technology to manage the results of previous technology.
We�re popping pills for symptoms caused by other pills!
On a broader scale, the entire scientific-industrial system has created ecological degradation
and social atomization that we attempt to fix from within the same technological mindset
of quantification, engineering, and control.
It follows the dream of techno-utopia: that if only we could exercise precise control
over every bit of matter; if only we could quantify and label and digitize every object
with its own IP address, then we could manage the world rationally, eliminate uncertainty,
and maximize human wellbeing.
Technologies of Separation vs Technologies of Reunion
On the social level, the same ambition translates into the program of total information awareness,
so that each economic transaction, each social interaction, and all physical movement is
tracked and saved in a database.
Yet it is becoming obvious that despite continuing advances in our ability to control matter
and society, the promise of utopia is receding into the future, and indeed has passed the
event horizon called cynicism.
No longer does anyone believe that material and social engineering is on the verge of
ushering in a perfect world.
For these reasons � the failed promise and worsening crisis of technology as we know
it � I would like to offer an expanded conception of technology.
The kind of technology described above is but a subset of all technology, a subset I�ll
call �technologies of separation.� These will always have their place, but at the present
historical moment we need to shift our collective will and energy toward a different kind of
technology, which I will call �technologies of reunion.�
To expand the definition of technology, we can simply return to the original Greek roots
of the word, which means �a logos of crafts.� Technology is a system of techniques for applying
human will to alter the physical world.
A Transition in Our Narrative
Technology is not just a haphazard collection of techniques.
As a �logos of crafts� implies, these techniques are interrelated; they grow from
a common logic, a unifying narrative or worldview.
This narrative determines what we consider to be real, possible, and important.
It answers the questions �What can we do?� �What should we do?� and �How can we
do it?�
The technologies of separation that dominate the world today draw from the story of separation,
which includes:
Humans are separate from nature The self as a separate individual
Full selfhood (consciousness, sentience) existing in humans alone
Competition as the defining characteristic of life
Domination and control over the other as the key to wellbeing
That all things are composed of generic, identical building blocks
That to be real is to be measurable and quantifiable That the forces of nature are basically random,
so human progress depends on insulating ourselves from their dangers and harnessing them for
our purposes Linear and reductionistic thinking as the
basis of technology Force-based causality
Human destiny to conquer or transcend nature.
These are the threads of the mythology that has overtaken civilization over the last few
thousand years, and especially the last few centuries.
It is rapidly becoming obsolete though, giving way to a new and ancient story, the Story
of Interbeing.
It holds that: The self is relational at its core
Humans are not separate from nature What we do to the world, we do to ourselves
The basic qualities of a self (e.g. consciousness, intelligence) are ubiquitous and universal;
everything is alive Each being is a holographic mirror of all
Cooperation, sharing, and symbiosis are defining characteristics of life and evolution
Morphic resonance is the primary causal principle Each being has unique and necessary gifts
to give toward the wellbeing and evolution of the whole
Human destiny is to use its unique gifts to serve the health and development of Gaia
Technologies of Reunion draw from the Story of Interbeing and contributes to its emergence
in world civilization.
Each includes the other, the part includes the whole, the inner mirrors the outer.
Technologies of Reunion contribute to the reunion of human and nature, mind and body,
thought and emotion, matter and spirit, modern and ancient, masculine and feminine.
They reunite all that which has been made artificially separate or even placed into
opposition in the civilization of separation.
It is not the erasure of binary opposites, nor is it the dissolution of all boundaries;
rather it is the understanding that each includes the other, that the part includes the whole,
that the inner mirrors the outer.
Examples of Technologies of Reunion
Almost any practice, whether in medicine, agriculture, energy, or education that is
called �alternative� or �holistic� exemplifies a technology of reunion.
Here are a few examples to illustrate how these practices draw from the Story of Interbeing.
Regenerative agriculture, for example, no-till organic horticulture.
This practice is motivated, in part, by the understanding that the health of crops and
of people is inseparable from the health of the soil.
It seeks, therefore, to serve the wellbeing of the soil, confident that the health of
one is the health of all.
Secondly, regenerative agriculture sees the soil not as a mere repository of chemical
nutrients, but as a living being possessed of its own kind of intelligence, and as part
of a larger living being that is the entire farm ecosystem.
Therefore, instead of merely imposing a methodological template on a piece of land, the farmer carefully
observes the land until she intimately knows it as a being unto itself, so she can ask,
�What does the land want?� The relationship is intimate, personal, and unique, irreducible
to any set of quantitative data on soil composition and rainfall distribution.
Homeopathy, based on the realization that every condition of a human being is mirrored
by some material substance.
Self and world are not separate.
Homeopaths believe that introducing the informational signature of that substance into the body
will unlock that disease pattern and bring healing.
Furthermore, the medium for conveying the information signature of a substance is water,
which in homeopathy is understood not as a generic substance defined merely by its chemical
formula, but as capable of holding information and structure (a view supported by recent
scientific thinking as well).
Homeopathy Homeopathy adheres to the priciple that the
self and the world are not separate.
Truth and reconciliation processes.
The Story of Separation says, �If I were in the totality of your circumstances � biographical,
economic, cultural, etc.
� I would not do as you did.
I am better than that.� Punitive justice comes from that belief: people do bad things
because they are bad people and therefore must be deterred by threat of punishment.
The Story of Interbeing says the opposite.
It says:
If I were in the totality of your circumstances, my brother, I would have done as you did.
Truth and reconciliation processes change those circumstances.
They come from the belief that if he could only be connected with the full impact of
his actions, he would no longer want to do that.
They rely on the healing power of the truth made visible.
Brutalization depends on a cutoff of empathy, on the dehumanization of the victim.
By sharing their stories to the witnessing of the perpetrators and the surrounding community,
the victims reclaim their full humanity in the eyes of all.
Universal basic income (UBI) and community-based forms of resource sharing.
In the Story of Separation, which says human nature is to maximize rational self-interest,
this is an insane idea.
If everyone�s basic needs were met, what would compel people to work and contribute
to society?
But if we believe that human nature is to want to contribute to something meaningful,
greater than oneself, UBI and resource sharing becomes a way to support that impulse.
It also validates and supports the kinds of contributions that are hard to quantify, such
as giving loving care to children or old people, making art and music, bringing healing to
land and water in ways that don�t increase economic output, and so forth.
So, Technologies of Reunion include material technologies, social technologies, and also
non-material technologies based on a different understanding of what is real.
A partial list might include: mycoremediation of toxic waste, composting toilets and graywater/blackwater
recycling systems, herbal medicine, therapies using psychotropic plants, earth building
techniques, sacred architecture, sound healing, hypnosis and mind/matter techniques, nonviolent
communication, compassionate listening; sociocracy, holocracy and other group decision-making
methods; council processes; restorative circles; family constellation work; tantric sexual
practices, communication with other-than-human beings, nonviolent methods of political direct
action, implosion motors, over-unity energy devices, worker-owned cooperatives and other
forms of economic cooperation, biodynamic agriculture, silvopasture, perennial-based
horticulture, wetlands restoration, Montessori education, Waldorf education, technologies
of voice, dance, and mask, the use of trance and dream states�
Mycoremediation Mycoremediation�the process of using fungi
to degrade contaminants in the environment.
In various ways, all of these draw on the new and ancient Story of Interbeing.
What does crystal therapy have to do with composting toilets or attachment parenting?
On a deeper level, they are related because their �what� and �how� draws from
the same overarching story.
There is tremendous support for the technologies that have brought us to our present situation,
but little support for the kinds of technologies that are most necessary for our society to
transition into an ecological age.
The technologies of reunion need communities of practice, and they need patronage from
visionary holders of financial wealth and other resources.
Some examples of incubators for technologies of reunion include The Land Institute, devoted
to perennial agriculture, The Farm in Tennessee, which pioneered the renewal of midwifery in
America, Tamera Ecovillage, dedicated to healing human sexuality (as well as water retention
landscapes and peace work), and the Damanhur intentional community in Italy, with its astonishing
experiments in sacred architecture and plant communication.
There are also growing linkages among institutions that are part of this movement, for example,
Numundo and the global network of Ecoversities.
These institutions are each edgy in their own way, and perhaps conventional in other
ways.
Each chooses its areas of exploration in the vast territory of Reunion.
In a sane future on a livable planet, places like these must no longer be radical outliers;
they must be the new normal.
The Starseed Generation
The blatantly new-agey term �starseeds� just popped into my head to describe the current
generation of young people coming of age today, who do not fit into dominant models of higher
education.
The rewards and threats that bring most people into conformity with the old story do not
sway them.
They cannot be bribed into a normal career.
Therefore, most of what conventional universities offer is unattractive to them: both the curriculum
content and the form in which it is offered.
'Starseeds' �Starseeds� seek something more than our
dominant models of higher education offer.
Some of these young people muddle through university anyway, engaging themselves in
political activism as an outlet for their passions.
Others, the lucky ones, find new story content in the margins and crannies of their institutions,
provided by professors who are adept at sneaking things under the radar.
Many more drop out of college or refuse to go entirely.
It is not that they are uninterested in learning; it is that what they want to learn is not
easily available.
They are here on earth with a purpose and cannot tolerate spending years of their lives
on something that isn�t aligned with that purpose.
When these youth get their first glimpse of permaculture, or gift economics, or herbalism,
or some other technology of reunion, they come alive.
Their eyes light up in recognition: here is what I was looking for.
Or at least, here is a signpost that tells me that what I am looking for is out there
somewhere.
Equally powerful for these young people is to come across others of their tribe; allies
in the purpose of serving the healing of Gaia, and especially elders who model an alternative
life path.
They realize then that they are not crazy and they are not alone.
For a young person to follow this path does take courage, because it is preparation for
a world that does not yet exist, a world that values Technologies of Reunion.
Yet, paradoxically, it will never exist if we don�t prepare for it.
The technologies that serve an ecological future also serve the transition to that future.
And, to risk following this path is to make an offering of one�s life, and that is a
powerful prayer.

FIFA 17 - AS Monaco vs. Juventus "CL Semi-Final" @ Union Park Stadium (XL Match) - Duration: 29:40.
Well, we're here with a wonderful sense of anticipation
that's come to us from around the stadium
and indeed from knowing the quality, Alan
of these two teams that we're going to watch again here
in the first leg of this semi-final.
Yeah, bumped into a few of the players down on the pitch
as they were having a look at the surface.
And you can just feel the excitement among them.
And it's just who settles the better
who can produce the best football in this first leg.
It's Monaco playing against Juventus.
Monaco's line-up today:
So Alan, 4-4-2?
Yeah, I think it looks that way, Martin.
Yes, it's the conventional shape. It's the one that the manager prefers.
The Juventus line-up then:
Gigi Buffon plays in goal.
Leonardo Bonucci starts with Giorgio Chiellini as the centre backs.
Miralem Pjanić starts alongside Claudio Marchisio in the middle of the park.
In attack Gonzalo Higuaín starts with Paulo Dybala.
When you look at Juventus these days
you tend to think of it as new Juventus, really.
So much glorious history in the past and
that awful spell in the club's history
and now they've remodelled themselves and
they look worthy of the name.
Yeah, they would've all been relieved to move to that new stadium.
Which I'm sure the players enjoy playing in much more than the old Stadio delle Alpi
which was, let's face it, a bit of a barn. A soulless barn.
