If you can't see the video below... go to absolutetruth.squarespace.com and see the conversation called BRAND NEW.
I saw this Friday, posted by a dear friend who is always pushing me beyond my spiritual comfort zone, and it moved me. So much of what he says is true.
I love that this silly comedian has such depth and passion for such a powerful conversation.
"The line between good and evil runs not through cultures, religions and creeds, but between every human heart" Russell Brand
Powerful and relevant. Good and evil - harmony and disharmony. We are not part of harmony or disharmony. Others aren't one or the other. We so often want to divide the world into simpler lines... but its complex. Both truths exist within each one of us... They divide our "heart" (more accurately "minds")... That is why I think I am incapable of hating... I can't hate... I've tried... its because I get that even the darkest of souls has light somewhere inside of them.
"Within us, beneath and beyond our identity as human beings, driven by fear and desire, defined by the realm of the senses and the material self, which is transitory, there is a divine self that is connected to all living things that is part of an infinite source of creativity… there is divine beauty in all of us and if we prioritize that over our own selfish material needs than we will naturally create a culture more in harmony with our planet." Russell Brand
I love conversations that challenge the way I have been taught to think.
When you hear something real and powerful and TRUE - it rings true in your heart even if it is different than everything else you have ever heard. I love that about truth. I love that about human beings. But, we must have our antenna's up and be WILLING to consider a different part of the truth... to broaden and expand our understanding of everything...
And, find our harmony.
Yours in harmony,
Nestor
