Indaba I - From Crisis to Clarity: Insights from Indigenous Teachings with Tom Blue Wolf - Part 2
The salient point of this discussion centers on the imperative need for transformative change in our societal narratives, as we confront the detrimental effects of outdated paradigms. We explore the pervasive disconnect between the dialogues perpetuated by those in power and the genuine aspirations of the populace, who predominantly seek kindness and understanding. Our discourse delves into the consequences of complacency and the urgent call for introspection that has emerged during recent global crises. We emphasize the significance of sacred conversations and rituals as vehicles for fostering connection, respect, and dignity among individuals. Ultimately, we advocate for a collective awakening to the truth, urging a return to fundamental values that honor our interconnected existence and the legacy we will leave for future generations.
Takeaways:
- In contemporary discourse, many public figures employ outdated metaphors that fail to resonate with our current realities.
- The overwhelming majority of individuals truly seek kindness and compassion, despite the negativity propagated by media outlets.
- During my travels, I observed that genuine conversations among everyday people are often filled with beauty and understanding.
- Our society must confront the finite nature of our resources and the implications of our consumption habits on future generations.

The people with the microphone are.
Speaker AAnd I don't care if they're on a news program, if they're politicians, they're all kind of like, they're all choosing horrible words to describe what they want, what they need.
Speaker AI mean, they're using all of the antiquated metaphors and analogies.
Speaker ALike, just like you said, it's like watching a horrible beast fight for its life.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AAnd everybody else is like Song of the South.
Speaker AI mean, I go to, like when I go over to Europe, for instance, just like you said, the conversations I have with those people are beautiful.
Speaker AConversations they want to have are beautiful.
Speaker AYou turn on the TV and the news anchors and the politicians are saying all these horrible things.
Speaker ABut then when you go out into the general population, everybody wants to be kind to each other.
Speaker ASo I'm going to say just from my experience, about 80% of the world wants exactly what you and I are talking about.
Speaker AThe other 20%, I'm going to say about 18% of them are confused because they don't have the power to understand their own thing.
Speaker AThey're trying to look for, for an anchor, you know, a safety valve.
Speaker AAnd there's about 4 or 5% that are like demonic.
Speaker AAnd they seem to be the instigators for these conversations.
Speaker AThey just have a lot of resources.
Speaker BThey've got the mic and they've got the volume and velocity turned up on that thing.
Speaker BAnd it seems like it's more than it is, but it's really a small cadre cabal of crappy humans, crappy carbon based units that are making all the noise.
Speaker BBut in reality, I'm glad to hear that you're seeing the same thing I am because I was starting.
Speaker AOh yeah, I see it everywhere I go.
Speaker AYeah, everywhere I go there's a few people.
Speaker AAnd it's almost like I said, it's almost like they're trying to keep this horrible beast alive.
Speaker AYou know, they're going to use all the fossil fuels they can until their last drop.
Speaker AThey're going to keep just, you know, tearing up our topsoil, so there's a problem and then pointing the blame somewhere else.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AThat they say, well, it's the supply chain.
Speaker AI said, yes, the supply chain.
Speaker AThis world is not infinite, it's finite.
Speaker AWe're going to have to start doing the math, you know what I mean?
Speaker ANow, I don't have any dog in this race, but I can tell you from doing some research, for instance, I found that a cow needs an acre of land.
Speaker AThe cows together eat 80% of all the vegetables grown in the United States.
Speaker AA cow needs the same amount of water it takes to float a battleship to grow into an adult cow.
Speaker A300 people could have eaten the food that cow ate.
Speaker AAnd that cow is only going to feed 30 people after all of that.
Speaker AI don't think it's a good trade.
Speaker AIt's a bad trade.
Speaker AAnd if we're killing 150,000 cows a week to furnish burgers for these fast food restaurants.
Speaker AAnd so our people say, well, you know, the reason we don't eat cows is not because of all that.
Speaker AIt's because cows represent complacency and we've had enough of that.
Speaker AI'm up to here with complacency.
Speaker AI'm not going to consume it.
Speaker AI'm not going to consume any more apathy by eating pork.
Speaker AI'm not going to consume any more fear by eating chickens.
Speaker AIt's already become part of the language, right?
Speaker BYes.
Speaker ASo all of a sudden you start thinking about these things and you say, wait a second, what have I given up?
Speaker AWell, you're giving up.
Speaker AThis is.
Speaker AThis was a case in point, okay?
Speaker AI'm in Cuba and I'm talking to these voodoo guys, right?
Speaker AThey're doing a ceremony.
Speaker AAnd so he killed a couple of goats.
Speaker AHe killed a couple of chickens in the next room.
Speaker AAnd I heard the screaming and everything, you know, so he walks in and he's, what do you think about our ceremony?
Speaker AI said, well, I could have done without the blood.
Speaker AI said, I don't like, you know.
Speaker AI said, the screaming and the gnashing of teeth and the pain and suffering.
Speaker AHe said, well, let me ask you a question.
Speaker AI said, what?
Speaker AHe said, do you see any grocery stores around here?
Speaker AI said, no.
Speaker AHe said, you see any butcher shops?
Speaker AI said, no.
Speaker AHe said, well, there's a thousand people in this village now.
Speaker ASome of them are going to have goat meat and some of them are going to have chickens for dinner.
Speaker AHe said, and we told these chickens and these goats what was going to happen to them.
Speaker AWe didn't send them off to a slaughterhouse.
Speaker AWe did it.
Speaker AWe dealt with it.
Speaker AWe took responsibility.
Speaker AThey died a good, honorable death.
Speaker ANow, if you're going to eat them, that's the way to kill them.
Speaker AAnd then you send them off into the next world with some prayers.
Speaker AHe said, what do you guys do?
Speaker AYou throw150,000 baby chicks into a wood thrasher.
Speaker AThey have no idea what's happening.
Speaker AAnd you Kill them while they're still alive, right?
Speaker ATorture them to death.
Speaker AYou do the same thing with cows and pigs and every other animal.
Speaker AYou don't go out and hunt them anymore.
Speaker AYou don't go on face to face with them and take them out like an honorable death.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AIt's always somebody else's.
Speaker AAnd by the time you see that hamburger, it don't look anything like that cow.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AYou're not having to think about where it came from.
Speaker AThat that cow had a mission, that cow had a life.
Speaker AThat cow was a sentient being.
Speaker AOkay?
Speaker ANow I'm not a vegetarian, but I see this clearly as behavior and actions and repercussions to actions and karma and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker AI feel it.
Speaker AIt's not a good trade.
Speaker AIt's not a good trade at all.
Speaker AThere's plenty of things that humans can consume that have better energy and better information and are healthier substances than what we're currently eating.
Speaker AOkay, but you know, you, you juxtapose that with these people with the microphone who are screaming, who've got money in the game.
Speaker AThey own these slaughterhouses, they own these prisons that are making money off of the justice system.
Speaker AThey own these gas companies like Chevron and Exxon and all these.
Speaker AAnd they've got millions and billions of dollars and this is what means something to them.
Speaker AThey're not human anymore.
Speaker AThey don't care about the topsoil or the babies.
Speaker AThey might give a little bit of money to a non profit now and then they might do something over here for green pieces, but they do more damage than they do good.
Speaker AAnd so it is like this beast is fighting for its like, you know, so these half a dozen people who have trillions of dollars between them can fund these operations trying their best to hang on to something that's so outdated and outmoded it's not going to be useful anymore.
Speaker AIt's going to be gone here pretty soon.
Speaker AAnd just like you said, we are going through this right now.
Speaker AIt's like a, they call it the apocalypse.
Speaker AIt's like the lifting of the veil.
Speaker AThings are becoming transparent.
Speaker AWe're starting to see these things now and hopefully we'll have the compassion and the, and the foresight and the intelligence to go through this shift as beautifully as possible.
Speaker AThat it won't take, you know, a revolution, some kind of a hostile situation for this to happen.
Speaker BI think we're in a transformative disruption of what the.
Speaker BOne of the last shows they did on the Previous series of the Nexus was titled the Knowledge Apocalypse and the subtitle was the end of the curated narrative.
Speaker BBecause the.
Speaker BAs we've been talking about the language, the linguistics have been used to get a carefully crafted conversation to drive and the herd and the sleeple has resulted in complete failure.
Speaker BIt's fallen apart on its own.
Speaker BIt has been, obviously to me it's turned into a show of complete incompetence, inept abilities to do things with the kind of integrity and authenticity that we've been talking about.
Speaker BAnd it's falling apart in front of everybody's eyes.
Speaker BYou don't have to be a rocket surgeon to see that stuff is broken and it's broke from the inside out, meaning it's finally to a place where people are starting to realize that you don't have to be a genius to see that common sense and the proverbial bullshit meters have been pegged into the red.
Speaker BThe conversation has been so polluted that you.
Speaker BIt's not hard to see that there's something broke, there's something wrong.
Speaker BAnd what we're seeing, in my opinion, and I think you were sharing the same thing there is this transformative disruption right now.
Speaker BWe're all dancing around the dumpster fire.
Speaker BWe're trying to avoid it, we're trying to avoid getting tossed into it, getting consumed by it and interfering with our existence of trying to have a peaceful, respectful life of integrity and purpose.
Speaker BThat knowledge apocalypse, the unveiling of knowledge, I think is what we're about, what we're in the process of saying, and it's just the beginning of it.
Speaker BSo the truth of the teachings that you were talking about earlier, the simple fundamental of existence, of how we interact with ourselves and with the rest of the carbon based meat sacks that we, that we engage with, that is, that is going back to its source now people are starting to realize and I think that one of the, oddly enough, one of the things that was a benefit from this latest herding maneuver in this spam pandemic crap that we went through, it caused people, you know, everybody was told, go to your rooms and we'll let you know when it's okay to come out.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker BYou'll get a treat when you come out if you're good.
Speaker BBut it caused something that I think has been missing in the conversation, the internal conversation within each one of us and that is self reflection, introspection, self examination.
Speaker BWhat is it that I think about and why do I think about it the way I do?
Speaker BAnd it goes back to what we've been talking about in the language, the linguistics, the words about around how we describe ourselves, the conversation that we have with ourselves is where the change is happening and where it's most needed.
Speaker BAnd I think that's exactly what you're saying.
Speaker BWhat are your thoughts on that?
Speaker AYeah, I agree.
Speaker AWe talked about that the other day.
Speaker AYou know, we said, wasn't it something that a little bit of fear could shut the whole world down?
Speaker AThe fear of death
Speaker Bfrom a silent, invisible killer.
Speaker BHow powerful was that?
Speaker AThat's what I'm saying.
Speaker BI give him an A plus on pulling that one out.
Speaker AYeah, but look what it did to the earth.
Speaker AI mean, whales were happy, elephants were on the beach, porpoises were swimming in the canals.
Speaker AIn Italy, the sky was blue, birds were singing.
Speaker AEverybody was happy.
Speaker AAnd I was thinking to myself, people say, well, you know, ordinarily we would never be able to do anything like that.
Speaker AJust shut down the world overnight.
Speaker AAnd Aston will fear was able to do it.
Speaker AWould it be something if love could do it?
Speaker AWhat is.
Speaker AThere are some cultures, as a matter of fact, in the world that take time out every week, every month, every year to honor the environment, to take it easy, to not drive their car, to not turn the things, you know, just to slow everything way down and take it easy on mama for a little while.
Speaker AAnd I'm thinking, what if we could.
Speaker AWhat if the first world countries did that, like Russia and China, the United States, we are the ones who are doing most of the problems.
Speaker AAnd so I said, if we could set the example by saying, look here, you know, we're going to.
Speaker ABecause if we don't, Mother's going to do it, because she'll ultimately survive.
Speaker AIt's people who will be discharged.
Speaker AAnd that's the sad situation, because I think it'll be the first time in history that we've ever killed ourselves on the earth with stupidity.
Speaker AYou know, I mean, usually it's an asteroid or some nuclear bomb.
Speaker AYou know, it's just, how did they all die?
Speaker AThey get stupid.
Speaker BIt's ironic that, you know, we've got all this chatter in the social discourse about this artificial intelligence thing.
Speaker BRight?
Speaker ARight.
Speaker BAnd I've got a whole rant that I go on from my technology perspective that, you know, the two words, and going back to the linguistics again, are the wrong words put together for the wrong reasons, which is essentially just, to me, an example of the laziness of geeks in the creative and marketing perspective of how to use words.
Speaker BThey build really cool stuff sometimes, but they don't know how to package it.
Speaker BThey do a shitty job of packaging.
Speaker BSo artificial and intelligence don't go together because there is nothing artificial about intelligence, number one.
Speaker AKind of like military intelligence, right?
Speaker BAnd people are thinking, well, you know, they're hearing all this fear mongering again using the most powerful emotion of fear like they did with this whole virus vaccine nonsense.
Speaker BAnd they're throwing that now at the technology and we're getting it with the whole disclosure, with the UFOs, the Ufology and what I'm calling you foology that's going on in that space.
Speaker BAnd there's just again a bunch of convoluted chaos in the conversation that by using words that aren't either, they haven't vetted the words, they haven't thought through, what the hell am I using these words for and why?
Speaker BWhat am I trying to communicate?
Speaker BSo I think of this next generation of tech which I think is going to be very important in the evolution that we're going to see.
Speaker BSome of the technologies and sound and light for healing, education, just learning and knowledge I think are extremely profound and they're going to be very useful if the people are allowed to develop them in some kind of self organizing way where the integrity of the group of people that have the interest and have the intent to learn and to use this new technology, this new knowledge in a positive way to help understand.
Speaker BLike you were talking about the metrics or the math that you were doing on.
Speaker BWell, when you do the math, this doesn't work out well.
Speaker BThat's a part of that introspection and rethinking of what the hell it is that we're doing with the tools that we have, with the knowledge that we have.
Speaker BAnd why isn't that something that is more prevalent?
Speaker BWhy aren't people starting to see the benefits of facts and truth and knowledge?
Speaker BLike you said, truth left the building a long time ago, probably followed Elvis on the way out.
Speaker BBut I think we're seeing in this fundamental transformation as we dance around the dumpster fires, all of that is required.
Speaker BIt's unfortunate, it's messy, but it's needed.
Speaker BBecause nothing that we are doing from our language through the institutions and the societal organizations and all of that can be fixed.
Speaker BIt's all broken, it has to be replaced, not repaired.
Speaker BAnd that rebuilding from the ground up with a fresh, open, authentic and transparent.
Speaker BYou mentioned transparent.
Speaker BI think that the transparency is the truth frequency.
Speaker BThe more that you can see for what it is going.
Speaker BAgain, referencing the first principle thinking and what I refer to as the nut of the nugget.
Speaker BWhen you get down to that nut of that nugget, which is the transparent authenticity of the integrity of whatever it might be, then the reality of the truth and the love and the relationship can be revealed and it can be exposed and it can be expressed.
Speaker BAnd it's that truth and that honesty that whenever I have conversations with you about this, it just.
Speaker BI get refreshed.
Speaker BI have a sense of being enthusiastic and hope for where we're going.
Speaker BAnd it's something that I have always appreciated with you.
Speaker BAnd I think that what you're about to do, going over to Germany and European trip, you're on that mission.
Speaker BThat's your purpose, to go make sure that that truth, that integrity, that authenticity through being the transparent person that you are, is going to go over there and make a difference.
Speaker AWell, one of the.
Speaker AWell, thank you.
Speaker AI appreciate that.
Speaker AOne of the main focuses that we take with us is the.
Speaker AThe significance and how critical it is to have ceremonies and rituals and rites of passage in our culture.
Speaker ABecause one of the realizations that people sometimes forget if they even think about it, is that honoring our ancestors, like I said, you know, you and I are testimonials to a successful lineage of ancestors who avoided the genocide.
Speaker AAnd you and I and everyone else here are the ancestors of the future.
Speaker ASo it's kind of like a link in a chain.
Speaker ANow, we are going to be here just for a little while, but we're going to be ancestors for the rest of eternity.
Speaker ASo I'm thinking you better like it, you better be good at it, because you're going to do it for rest of time.
Speaker ASo I'm thinking that's why I believe the people that I have been taught by say that's who we are.
Speaker AWe're ancestors in training.
Speaker AThat's why we learn all these beautiful, elegant, elaborate kinds of characteristics.
Speaker ALove is the healer.
Speaker AForgiveness is the medicine.
Speaker AReverence, respect, dignity, mercy, all these things, because once that we become part of the cosmos again, that's going to be our profile.
Speaker AIf it's not, then we're going to be part of the profile of all the horrible things that happen.
Speaker ABlack holes, place that can't be, you know, identified with a sweet dream, you know, and so that's.
Speaker AAnd I've seen, in my experience, I've seen three things that measure people up in that way.
Speaker AOne of them, unfortunately, is a close call with death can have a significant effect on what we've been talking about, how people think about themselves and how they fit into the picture once they think they're just about to die, but they don't.
Speaker AIt could change everything.
Speaker ATheir value based decision making skills take a lot.
Speaker AThe other one is plant medicine.
Speaker AI have seen people make a beautiful shift with ayahuasca and peyote and psilocybin and ibogaine and various other plant medicines.
Speaker AThe problem that I see is that it can become habit forming, not because of the substance, but because of people's habits.
Speaker AYou know, you find something beautiful, you run it in the ground.
Speaker BSometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing.
Speaker AIt's like a glass of water is a beautiful thing, but too much and you drown.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker AAnd so, but my favorite one is the one we're talking about where people just take the initiative, put the pieces together, come up with the idea that love is the main thing, and then stay there.
Speaker ALike old roomy said, fall in love, stay there.
Speaker AThen your decisions will be made from a place of love and it'll all be sweet.
Speaker AA child friendly world, you know, where, where people can be, you know, safe.
Speaker AThat's what we want.
Speaker AYou make the children feel safe.
Speaker ABecause until you feel vulnerable, healing is pretty far away.
Speaker AYou've got to be able to be vulnerable to heal.
Speaker AAnd so like I say over in Europe, this next trip is going to be a diligent attempt to alter the narrative.
Speaker AAnd so what we do is we have people, we call it a ndaba.
Speaker AAnd daba is a sacred conversation about things that really matter.
Speaker AAnd so when people are heard, beautiful things happen.
Speaker AWhen people get to say things out loud, you know, and they get seen and they get heard, they can shift, they can alter.
Speaker ABut that's respect, see, and that's dignity.
Speaker AA lot of people, when they don't feel heard and they don't feel like they're being respected, I mean, wars can break out from too much disrespect.
Speaker ASo it's a beautiful thing.
Speaker AAnd I think if we really were thinking about the topsoil, about our water, about our children, I don't see any, I don't see how anybody sane, any sane human being could take that information and turn it on us, you know, turn it around.
Speaker AIt would have to be that way.
Speaker AI don't somehow another, we have to have these sacred conversations.
Speaker AThat's why ceremony is so important.
Speaker APut people in touch with their ancestors, put them in touch with the fact that you're going to be an ancestor one day.
Speaker AYou know, you would think again.
Speaker AThe fact that we all came through A mother, that we all need water, that we're all going to die.
Speaker AThat.
Speaker AThat be enough motivation to have us all understand we're all on the same ride.
Speaker AAnd what we need to do is take care of this place and take care of each other.
Speaker AI mean, somehow another greed, you know, the money, the hoarding, all those kinds of things.
Speaker AThe agriculture came into the picture.
Speaker AThen people started thinking, this is mine, that's yours.
Speaker ABut once upon a time, we didn't have those pronouns.
Speaker AWe only had us, we and our.
Speaker AI remember as a little boy, my fellow walked into my grandfather's hut, and they were talking about something.
Speaker AMy.
Speaker AThis man said, charlie, I know me, and you know what's going on, but what about all these others?
Speaker AMy grandfather said, there are no others on Earth.
Speaker AIt's just us.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker ASo if you have the heart to include all people as your family, you know, these are my people.
Speaker AI'm.
Speaker AI.
Speaker AWell, anthropology does that.
Speaker AWe just don't buy it.
Speaker AIf you look in anthropology, it'll call us the family of Man.
Speaker AThe family of man.
Speaker AWe.
Speaker AWe are a species.
Speaker AAnd you would think that we would take that to heart and want everybody to like a sentient being.
Speaker AYou know, we would care about people's babies.
Speaker AWe care about the fact that they were eating.
Speaker AIn the villages where I grew up, the most wealthiest person, or the one that was considered the most wealthy was the one who gave everything away, and the one who had the most power was the one who least wanted it.
Speaker AAnd so if you find somebody who is.
Speaker AWho is humble, who has humility, who's strong, who is dedicated, who has integrity, you know, never lies about anything, who has everybody's best interest at heart.
Speaker AThose kind of people don't want to be leaders, but they make the best leaders.
Speaker AAnd so it comes down to a bumper sticker that says, you want to pick people and to be powerful, that smells people more than power.
Speaker AYou know, I think it was Jimi Hendrix that said, when the love of
Speaker Bpower is exceeded by the power of love, then there will be peace.
Speaker AAmen.
Speaker AThat's what I'm talking about.
Speaker ASo people know this, people see this, but it's the actualization of doing it.
Speaker AWhat we're contending is that if you want to actually do it, you have to have your conversation guided by that so that that can happen.
Speaker AIt won't happen if we don't talk about it.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AWe have to talk about it.
Speaker AWe have to sing about it, we have to dance about it.
Speaker AThat's why ceremonies and rituals and rites of passage are so critical and a lot of people don't even do them anymore.
Speaker ABut the more ceremonies you do, you can understand the sacredness and the preciousness of life.
Speaker AForemost, you know, grandbabies, great grandbabies, you know, not just two leggeds, you know, all the animals, all, I mean people are getting on the bandwagon that all animals are sentient natives.
Speaker AThere are countries now that, that are declaring constitutions, other living creatures besides humans, you know, that have, you know, a seat at the table, they have a voice, you know, which didn't happen for a while.
Speaker AAnd in the United States, I mean the random conversations you bring me to in this country are ridiculous.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AWhen you think about it, I mean it's like Mad magazine, remember that magazine?
Speaker BOh yeah.
Speaker BAnd I was talking to somebody yesterday, we were musing on about all of the stuff that's going on in the intelligence realms and the agencies and the different intelligence groups around the world.
Speaker BAnd we likened it to that old cartoon of spy versus Spy, right?
Speaker BIt's like they're all out there trying to out out intel and out spy the other and, and they're causing, you know, enough of the chaos itself.
Speaker BBut one of the things that you mentioned earlier made me think about this transformative change that we're seeing and how in from my perspective, I think there's
Speaker Amore,
Speaker Bthere's more integrity, authenticity through transparency that's happening in the global populace of humans.
Speaker BAnd I saw about a year and a half ago I started calling it.
Speaker BI think what we're going to see is the rise of the pissed off peeps.
Speaker BIn other words, people are going to start seeing the truth, the knowledge apocalypse is the unveiling of all of the lies and the crap and the nonsense that's been built up and packed on and shoved in and up all of this conversation and people and they're starting to see that the majority of it, if not all of it is complete bullshit and they're getting pissed off about it.
Speaker BAnd one of the things that we're seeing as a symptom or an example of that is what's going on with these farmers.
Speaker BGoing back to the whole, you know, how do we work with a sustainable resource laden Gaia and Mother that is provides all of our sustenance and all of the resources we need.
Speaker BWell now you've got these farmers in all these countries that have just said we've had enough of you politicians, bureaucrats and administrative idiots.
Speaker BAnd now we're going to bring all of the manure that we need and that we create by doing farming and we're going to pile it up around your place and we're going to watch you crawl through the crap on your own.
Speaker BSo I think there's a rise of the pissed off peeps afoot.
Speaker BPeople have had enough.
Speaker BThey're starting to more and more every day see the lies and they're seeing through the lies and the bullshit and they're going, that's it.
Speaker BWe've had enough of you guys.
Speaker BWe've listened to you.
Speaker BYour credibility is tanked because of the way you've clearly tried to engineer and control people and it's broken.
Speaker BNone of it works anymore.
Speaker BThey try to pull it.
Speaker BIn my opinion, if they try to pull another pandemic, people are going to go, sorry, you guys blew the last one.
Speaker BWe're not going to believe you this time.
Speaker BSo I think the self organizing, collective of the individual, self examining conscious humans is what we're seeing that transformation of.
Speaker BAnd I think it starts with a clarity and a refinement of the conversation, the importance of that transparency in the conversation and it being as real and as honest and as truthful as it can and needs to be.
Speaker BAnd I think that's exactly what you're doing, what you're talking about.
Speaker BAnd I got to tell you, Tom, every time, as I said, I have a conversation with you about this, it just fills me with hope, gives me more clarity and energy and just God speed to what you're doing and the way that you're doing it.
Speaker BBecause I think you are at that nut, you are the nut of the nugget in this, in this transformation time that we're in.
Speaker BAnd I really appreciate being able to spend time with you and have this conversation, the conversation, the kind of authentic conversation with integrity that needs to happen.
Speaker BAnd I, I applaud you and honor you for that.
Speaker BThank you very much.
Speaker AWell, thank you for saying so.
Speaker AI appreciate it.
Speaker AWe, you know, we're the same thing.
Speaker AIt's like we are both in our own way holding up the stream, you know, of a precious life for generations to come.
Speaker AYou know, once upon a time it was so simple.
Speaker AYou know, if it lasted seven generations, do it.
Speaker AIf it don't last seven generations, don't do it.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AIt was pretty simple.
Speaker AIf it's going to hurt anybody, don't do it.
Speaker AYou know what I mean?
Speaker AIf they ain't going to hurt anybody, go ahead and do it.
Speaker AYou know, that kind of thing, right?
Speaker ABut Anymore money has entered the picture and, you know, wealth or the idea, ideology of wealth and whatever else.
Speaker AAnd so we have to break through that.
Speaker AYou're right.
Speaker AAnd so I'm.
Speaker AI'm excited about that too.
Speaker AI have hope, I think.
Speaker AI think the Creator is in charge.
Speaker AAnd I think that's why they call it the Great Mystery, because there really are no answers.
Speaker AYou know, there's just this.
Speaker AThat's why I think no matter what anybody says or how anybody goes, there's the best place for all concern is in kindness, mindful kindness.
Speaker AYou know, like Tich Nhat Hanh talks about it, you know, that's.
Speaker AWe've got to do that if we want the future to be here for our granddaddies and our great granddaddies and so forth and so on.
Speaker AI went into a ceremony not long ago, and I could envision in my cellular memory one of my forefathers dodging dinosaur feet to get a drink of water, apologetic for these people.
Speaker AYou know, I try to be understanding and I think, well, I know how it is that you really don't need all these things and you don't realize what harm.
Speaker ABecause, I mean, when you really get into the.
Speaker ATo the nuts and bolts of what it takes to create the supply chain we all depend on, and you look at all these cities where 90% of the people are living on 10% of the land.
Speaker ANone of these cities have any resources.
Speaker AWe have to feed them.
Speaker AThey're like on life support.
Speaker AWe send in the food, we have to go in and clean up the mess.
Speaker AWe have to take the garbage out.
Speaker AWe have millions and millions of people.
Speaker AAnd so the only ones that seem to have any hope are the ones living in the woods who know how to get their own food, who are off the grid.
Speaker AYou know, what I mean is they.
Speaker AThey're taking care of it.
Speaker AThey're taking care of the land.
Speaker AThey're taking care of the land lands, taking care of them.
Speaker ABut pretty soon that's going to have to be the inevitable outcome of this incredible time we're going through.
Speaker BAnd there's two things that I'd like to add to that One.
Speaker BA hundred years ago, we were all preppers.
Speaker AYeah, yeah, right, right.
Speaker BSo the fact that it's come back around is, I think, kind of an interesting perspective.
Speaker BBut I think the fundamental thing that we're kind of.
Speaker BThat we've been talking about, specifically in various aspects of it is the understanding of value.
Speaker BWhat is that word and how is it used?
Speaker BThe mutual exchange is something that people and Just looking at, for example, just the conversation here with you and me, what is the value definitions that we're using to have this conversation?
Speaker BThe value of respect, the value of the integrity, being authentic, being real, talking about the actual nuts in the nuggets, Right?
Speaker BAnd I think that a return to what is fundamental and how people define value is really one of the core things that everything, that everything is getting filtered through that is a part of this transformation.
Speaker BPeople hold on to things like you were talking about wealth, right?
Speaker BWell, that's a, a definition or a perspective of value that certain people have said, well, that's where my value is.
Speaker BMy value metrics and how I measure all of that stuff is based around this thing called currency and coinage and whatever it might be in as much of the biggest piles as you can get.
Speaker BBut at the end of the day, the real value is the one to one conversation and relationship, the exchange of value between yourself and those that you are exchanging conversation with.
Speaker BAnd I think that that value, that's the authenticity, that's the transparency being the truth.
Speaker BFrequency is what is that value that you're exchanging?
Speaker BAnd again, the value that I have and that I share with you in these conversations is second to none.
Speaker BIt's the kind of.
Speaker AI agree.
Speaker BIt gives me in my heart that, that wonderful feeling of, ah, man, was that really some good value exchange?
Speaker BI enjoyed that very much.
Speaker BI want some more.
Speaker AThat's right.
Speaker AWell, you know, we're living examples of children that play well together with other children.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker BAnd you have to be able to, you have to be able to know that you can get out on the playground and you can share.
Speaker AYeah, that's right.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AAnd the more integrity you have, the more integrity we develop.
Speaker AHonesty and mercy and reverence and respect and dignity.
Speaker AAnd all these things are critical right now because we're at that time, it's kind of like the Titanic, you know, when it was like this and everybody was running around on deck trying to move the deck furniture around.
Speaker AThey were in the bar, argued over their bar tab.
Speaker AAll the indigenous people were down below.
Speaker AThey saw the problem and then you had to fix it, but nobody wanted to talk to them.
Speaker AAnd all the people who were promised that the boat wouldn't sink, we're running around on the decks saying, it ain't happening.
Speaker AWho you going to believe, me or you're lying eyes.
Speaker ARight, right.
Speaker AAnd the boat sunk.
Speaker AAnd that's kind of where we are right now.
Speaker AYou know, our supply chain is tilted.
Speaker AWe can actually see the damage in the side of the hull.
Speaker AWe know the inevitable outcome, but hopefully we'll be able to repair this and continue on our journey before it actually takes its toll.
Speaker AAnd I think that's what's happening.
Speaker AAnd I think that there is hope.
Speaker AI think there is somewhere deep inside of us, even if we can't articulate it, a longing, you know, for family, A longing for someone to care.
Speaker AA longing to care for someone, you know, it's.
Speaker AIt's deep.
Speaker AAnd so we have to uncover it.
Speaker AThat's what ceremonies and rituals do.
Speaker AThey uncover that and make people feel okay.
Speaker ABut, you know, people get hurt.
Speaker APeople say things and do things and then they go into shells.
Speaker AAnd we got psychiatrists, you know, all over the place when people say, well, you know, it's the language.
Speaker AWhen you can do things like manipulate and deceive and plot, scheme and lie and cheat and steal, but if you have a language where those words don't exist, then you don't go there.
Speaker AIt seems like we've created a language perfectly suited for psychotherapy.
Speaker BIt's become mental parasites in a mental prison.
Speaker BYeah, right.
Speaker BI mean, yeah.
Speaker BWell, I know that we're going to follow up with this conversation after your return trip from Europe.
Speaker BI got to tell you, you have serious steel cajones taking this flight on the eclipse next Monday.
Speaker AOh, yeah, I'm going to be 30,000ft.
Speaker ASolar eclipse.
Speaker AThat's going to be weird.
Speaker BI would not want to do that, but I don't think that we're going to.
Speaker BIt's interesting.
Speaker BAgain, we're talking about the language and all of the hype around that event, which is a celestial astronomical event, astrological event.
Speaker BWe've got the whole mercury in retrograde thing, and we've got a whole bunch of really interesting alignments that haven't happened in apparently centuries.
Speaker BBut your trip, you're going over to Germany, you're going to do ceremony to do some education.
Speaker BI think you're doing some interviews over there as well, right?
Speaker AWell, yeah.
Speaker ARight now, I just got the itinerary last night.
Speaker AI'm going to do two television interviews.
Speaker AI'm going to participate in a documentary about the Black Forest called the Caring for the Forest.
Speaker AI'll do three lodges and then two kind of, they call them lecture series.
Speaker ABut for me, you know, just like this, I don't treat it like a lecture.
Speaker AI treat it like a conversation.
Speaker AIt's just a conversation with a couple of hundred people and so.
Speaker ABut it's still a conversation.
Speaker AEverybody who has something to say can, can, by all Means say it and, and it's going to be at a place called the Bildefeld University in Bellefeld, Germany.
Speaker AIt's kind of like an mit, It's a robotic engineering college.
Speaker AAnd so that's going to be interesting for me because the conversation is around ethics and morals and value based decision making skills and how they might apply to artificial intelligence and robots, robotic engineering.
Speaker AI mean, I don't know what to think about all this.
Speaker AI just think that any way that we can express the criticalness of being kind and mindful and, and respectful for each other is a good thing.
Speaker ASo yeah, I mean if we don't do this, I mean, stupid people is bad enough.
Speaker AStupid robots, it's going to be even worse.
Speaker BI agree with that.
Speaker BBut as you were describing that I was imagining a Tom Bluewolf robot so that they had cloned you.
Speaker BAnd this robot is just speaking about this ancient wisdom and the authenticity of.
Speaker BAnd I'm thinking that would just, that would take the whole robotic field and turn it on its head.
Speaker BSo I think I'm wishing you all the best in that and really interested in how that turns out.
Speaker BSo in closing here, I know that when you get back we're going to do a follow up to your trip.
Speaker BTalk more about this conversation that we're having now between you and I and then how that conversation we see unfolding and particularly after your trip and the lectures.
Speaker BAnd I'm really interested to hear what happens when you get in there.
Speaker AMe too.
Speaker BStart injecting some of Tom Blue Wolf into a robot.
Speaker BIt might just go on tilt, you know.
Speaker AYeah, well, I'm thinking the robot would move up into Quebec, find a cabin somewhere in the wilderness and retire.
Speaker AThe robots off the grid.
Speaker BI think that there's a lot of really interesting potential on this whole AI machine learning EIO stuff.
Speaker BAnd it's just going to be a matter of how the collective, the self organizing collective gets engaged and is involved in it so that it has more of the, the authenticity of real people being involved in its development, its deployment, its use and all of that.
Speaker BBecause it can certainly be, as we've already seen, it's all about the programming.
Speaker BIt's all about who programs it.
Speaker BIt's all about the language that they use in the program and what they tell it it can do and it can't do.
Speaker BAnd we're seeing all these tech guys having all kinds of catastrophic events rolling out their pre programmed woke, narrowly minded ideological programming and it just dumps out more of the same crap and people are Going, oh, I'm afraid it's going to take my job.
Speaker BI said, well, did you see what it just did?
Speaker BIt can't even do its own job.
Speaker BSo you might need to just back off the concern and the worry a little bit.
Speaker BI don't think it's going to be the apocalyptic or catastrophic rollout that people are fearful of.
Speaker BBut you know, like we were saying, they're using fear based linguistics and language to control the way that people see it and think about it.
Speaker BBut in reality, I think that technology is going to be very profound and it's going to be to the benefit.
Speaker BWe're going to figure out not only how to use, you know, the natural resources of Gaia and our mother earth here, and how the solar system and the cosmos, the ether, everything that we inhabit, we're in space.
Speaker BSpace is required for us to be in the place that space is in and we don't having an understanding and awareness of how open and actually everything that we need, water, air, communication, energy is in the space and the air that we breathe.
Speaker BOtherwise it wouldn't exist in the forms that we know it as.
Speaker BAnd I think that that reality is what people are really going to start having an awareness of and an awakening to.
Speaker BSo just like being able to understand a more mathematical and logical and common sense way of utilizing the resources that we need in order to inhabit the reality that we're in, we're going to see that same thing happen on the technology side.
Speaker BI think people are going to see it and go, well, you know, we can use this in a really beneficial way.
Speaker BSound and light, medicine and healing, I think is going to be one of the most profound things that we're going to see.
Speaker BThe plant medicines that you mentioned are already starting to make an impact on the way in which health and wellness is actually viewed.
Speaker BBecause the allopathic model doesn't take into account all of the way that the biology naturally functions.
Speaker BSo we're seeing that transformation.
Speaker BBut all these things give me hope.
Speaker BJust like this conversation I'm having with you, my friend.
Speaker AMy grandmother used to say time was created so everything wouldn't all happen at once.
Speaker AAnd space was created so it wouldn't all happen to you.
Speaker BI love it.
Speaker AYeah, that's right.
Speaker BWell, Tom, it's been the usual honor and privilege and pleasure to.
Speaker AOh, likewise, likewise.
Speaker AI enjoy your company and we have awesome conversations.
Speaker AAlways makes me feel thoughtful and again, hopeful and encouraged and excited about moving into what we call the future.
Speaker BIt makes me feel good about, like you said, continuing our ancestors in training.
Speaker AYes, that's right.
Speaker AWe are the ancestors of the future and we want to be good ones.
Speaker ARight?
Speaker BYes.
Speaker BWell, thanks again.
Speaker BMy brother and I look forward to having the follow up conversation after your trip.
Speaker BAnd I'm sure that's going to be just as exciting and very, very interesting.
Speaker BSo thank you.
Speaker APost eclipse.
Speaker BYes.
Speaker AEnjoy, my friend.
Speaker BTake care, brother.
