[Music] all healing comes from inside ourselves we have the pH on the outside and the pH on the inside and all healing is based on love we really don't understand our own power see I have this kind of idea that when God created this Earth whoever God is to whoever you are created the Earth and it was beautiful and everything was in place and the way it should be but then he created the human being and he said to us now you are the only creatures that have the right to choose and have free will
so therefore I give you dominion over the Earth and we decided that what he meant by Dominion was dominance and so we've taken over the Earth and done what we darn well choosed with with it and look where we are so it's that reality the inner part of us we're all reaching for our true humanity and that true Humanity understands that we are the ones who do the healing see I have I've come up with what I call five LS the first one is life and love without life there's nothing you know you can be
a a seed in the Great Pyramid for 5,000 years and no nothing happens until love which is light and water and so on softens the shell and the seed opens up and it grows life and love are one unit they work together it's like a pregnancy when a mother is pregnant she and that baby are one unit they what she eats the baby eats what she thinks the baby thinks it's a constant process but that aspect of reality that is that baby that is being nurtured and and grown within the womb doesn't really find its
own identity until it takes its first breath so it's this reality that life and love are one unit as we work with each other that way we can really understand aspects of ourselves but aspects of the world around us and aspects of other people too the first L was life and love so those two came together and I understood those but the third one was laughter laughter without love is cruel it's mean it it takes families apart it has caused Wars you know laughter can be cruel but laughter with love is joy and [Music] happiness
the fourth L is labor labor without love is drudgery you just got to go to work you just got to do this but labor with Love Is Bliss it's why you singers sing why painters paint it's why I do what I do it's why you do what you do it's what makes our heart sing it's that inner aspect of our being that comes Al lives and and we'll work five times as hard as we were when we were dragging ourselves along with the drudgery thing and the fifth one is listening listening without love is empty
sound it just doesn't make any sense you you don't understand but listening with love is understanding so these five elves have been very helpful for me in structuring and understanding the the philosophy and the life that I'm working with and and you've been a teacher you've you've been a doctor but you've been writing books and you've just put out a new book The the well-lived life where you share six Secrets what do you hope people learn from that book I hope they really understand love being the teacher and love being the essence of healing my
spirit needs to Bear witness with thy Spirit we need to let the energy of our being move and help and as we help others we help ourselves it's that life flow that is so essential spend time looking for what I call the light you know I kind of see myself walking along with a flashlight in the dark on my path and it's dark and I can just go as far as my flashlight takes me but as I'm walking along sometimes there's a on the side of the path there's a light that is not very bright
it's just kind of shimmering if I shine my light over there all of a sudden that light becomes great in other words as we reach out for each other just with whatever we have whatever the opportunity is and you use it and you work forward with it you're helping people in ways that you know not I understand that you had a chance to meet one of History's Greatest teachers you met Gandhi at one point can you tell me a little bit about that I was 10 years old we were leaving India we were in the
train and leaving RI to go to Bombay and I was really sad cuz I didn't want to leave India and I knew I had to and so I'm I'm sitting in the train with my face plastered against the window really looking out in India there always crowds of people well there were crowds of people here but the there was a man walking in front of this crowd and he had on a toy and a staff and I recognized him as Gandhi and he was just walking along and when he it came into my sight and
he reached down a little girl was handing him a flower he took the flower and he as he looked up he looked straight into my eyes and I looked into his and something happened I can't explain to you what happened I can't explain to anybody I can't even explain it to myself but I felt a connection of love that was really really important to me that that was just a moment I watched him go on with the Salt March that he was doing and so on 30 years later my parents were working with Gandhi as
India was torn apart with the the partition Hindus and muhammads and killing each it was just awful and uh my parents had their little medical Jeep and they took it around to camps and did what they could when Gandhi was speaking my dad would get up on on the platform with him and they would talk together to the people and Gandhi and my mother and father formed a friendship Gandhi gave my mother a cashmir blue Shaw and my dad a py putt blanket it was a close enough relationship in the family that this was being
done so I feel that that spark was started when I was 10 years old and our family connection kept that going it's recognizing when something like that happens and not shoving it under the carpet because those are the things happen I've I've I've looked at people sometimes and been able to feel that and I don't even know who they are I recognize Gandhi but there are a lot of people that are who seem lost and so on and if you can smile at them and speak to them and and recognize them people are waiting to
be [Music] recognized that's what Gandhi did when he looked at me and I looked at him I recognized him and he recognized me and that's still with me this ability to to really recognize each other as real people living beings that are in the same world as we are that love flows and love has to keep on flowing or it dies what do you hope your legacy is that love is what really matters when you get down to the basic Center aspect of what healing is all about it's about love and life
