…body? it would be difficult for her. And it's true, some relationships that she has now, they would fade away. But my God, she would also attract Muslim with genuine and authentic relationships. And her true friends would really celebrate her. Now let me…

…any of that. Now, a whole bunch of British psychiatrists got their knickers tied in a knot because they made that diagnosis. My God, people. I was saying to the guy, you don't have a disease. You have a normal response to abnormal circumstances. You were…

…Who doesn't like me? They can wean themselves off that. So we may not be able to stay off social media, to write my books, thank God for the internet, but I don't have to be attached to it. So it's using it but not letting it use you, which is very…

…get a lot of accolades within the profession for pointing these things out. So it's not like I didn't set out for success. Honest to God, I didn't. I wanted it. I'm not denying it. You know, and I had a lot of ego investment in whatever I did. I…

…and then writing this one, it really wasn't, okay, I'm going to write this book and become even more famous. Honest to God, because I suffered writing this book. I mean... I'm not saying this self-pityingly, I'm just telling you what happened. Ten years I…

…you're younger whippersnapper compared to me you know um but here i'm 78 and it I can handle it now. Yeah. Honest to God, 10 years ago, it would have blown me away. Yeah, it's interesting, because I think all these things are relative, right? Because…

…for us. Otherwise we can be hopelessly hemmed in by frustration. I'm paraphrasing him very closely. We are created in an image of God. I mean, as you know, what are your religious views are, but that sense that we're created in images of God means that…

…that dynamic was in me. Once I realized it, I let go of it. So it didn't dominate me in the end. And honest to God, by the time I finished the book, I'm not just saying this in retrospect. It's a bestseller now in several countries. But I actually…

…we're very keen to try and not put value on those things because I know I also had experiences like that where I'd say, oh God, man, they're wearing those things. I want to wear those because if I wear them, I'm going to be happy. I saw a... Maybe a…

…isn't just individual. It's never going to work on an individual level. But at the same time, you meet people who, my God, I recently had contact with a couple of guys in a death row in Austin, Texas. Severely traumatized children. They're facing the…

…value now. You know, going to a cafe to meet up with a friend. Like now that I can't do it, I'm like... Oh, God, wouldn't that be amazing? Or I do something called Park Run on Saturdays where you congregate in your local community and hundreds of you…

…Years? I think so. I think it was. Why don't we all keep a Journal of the Plague Days, or maybe Plague Weeks, or God forbid, Plague Months, although it looks like it. Yeah, that's a great idea. You know, someone who's listening to this, a few people…

…a little bit more than they would normally do. And then someone will post a photo of that on social media and go, God, who are these people who are panic buying? They should be ashamed of themselves. And I'm thinking, I'm not criticizing people for…

…Muslims. Surah Al-Fatiha is the first verse of the Holy Quran. And this we do as a way to get the blessings from God Almighty. Ameen. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. So, brothers and sisters, we want to tell a little bit about us as organizers by the way. My…

…the body or just every human being has a fitra, which we mentioned is the natural inclination to good and to know God almighty and is created for a purposeful, moral and spiritual growth. The epistemological basis is that knowledge comes from the knowledge…

…love my kids. Did I pass my trauma on to them? Yes, I did. In fact, I wrote this book with one of my sons, and thank God, because I would not have been able to do this one on my own. And even writing the book, we had to work through our stuff,…

…to acknowledge it and to own it. Also, I've done a lot of healing. I'm not the same person I was 10, 20, 30 years ago. Thank God I'm not even the same person I was a year ago, in some ways. I have a regular practice. If I meditate, do my yoga, if…

…go into practice, but they kind of have to do it on their own like I had to. And then I discovered, oh my God, there's all these other people saying the same thing and they've even researched it and here's all the proof. So when you mentioned…

…are thoughts as well, except they're not arising to the surface. If only they did. If only I could say to myself, my God, here I'm thinking I'm a baby again. But no, that doesn't happen. Instead, the emotion happens that the baby would feel on being…

…That's what's so ironic. So I'm a physician, and as doctors, we always talk about evidence-based practice. And I say, My God, I only wish we had evidence-based practice. Let's look at the evidence. What's the evidence for separating the mind from the…

…But we don't. So you're trapped in your room. Yeah. So Diane writes about when the floor was not the floor. And, no, thank God. We've done a lot to heal our relationship. And even writing the book together was a healing exercise. Sure. Let me tell you.…

…all the time, and what amazes me is that this is a story told in front of millions and nobody says, oh my God, that poor little girl. Everybody says, oh, this is a great example of parenting. That's how de-natured we become as a culture. Because…

…psychedelics, just for some spiritual opening. Sometimes at a time of deep suffering. Ashley Judd once said to me that she surrendered to a God she didn't even believe in at a moment of deep suffering. So the truth can show up in all kinds of ways, but…

…nobody should have to prove how valuable they are. That's just our birthright, that we exist. We have the right to be here. Yeah, that God chose us or that the energies of the world chose us and said, I'm going to put you here like a, with a fine…

…out. I got addicted to self-pity. I got addicted to like- Can I jump in with a thought? Yes, please. Thank you. Dear God, please. It did something for you. It took away responsibly from you. Now, human beings have a hard time taking responsibility. I…

…out a way. There's a huge planet here. We can't figure out, how can we not figure out a way that we can do, live, all God is asking us to do is be alive and do it without war. That seems, it seems unreal that we can't figure that out, man. well…
