Waching daily May 29 2018

Hello everyone

This is the seventh log book

We are in Spain

in a very special place

that we wanted to see for a long time

but wait a minute and you will know everything about it.

It happened so much during the past 2 weeks that I don't even know where to start!

In our last log book we were in Segovia. Camille left, and we kept walking up the Sierra de Guadarrama

and reached the refuge de Navalcollado.

oh, yes, how crazy was this night!

We arrived by the last National Park opened in Spain.

The National Park of the Sierra de Guadarrama

We had snow until the hips, so it was very tough to walk for us.

What was our surprise when, waking up in the middle of the night,

we saw a snow groomer approaching the refuge!

At first we were a bit scared.

We did not understand what kind of truck or car could approach with that much of snow

but at the end it was a very good surprise!

Yes, especially in the morning

because, you know, hiking with snow until here

it's very difficult and quite time consuming.

So, it was much easier the next morning.

And getting down the ski track in the morning

some guys told us that we had nothing to do here!

Basically, at first, we felt a bit embarrassed but at the end everything happen to be super cool

Yeah, reaching the ski station we just came accross Ricardo, the snowshoing guide

He just told us "Oh, I have to leave now, but see you in Lozoya, the next village, and come sleep at home!"

What we did.

So after this, we kept going North,

and on the way, we passed by El Atazar.

When we arrived at the lake, we did not see the barrage at first

it was very beautiful, a stunning place, we got to sleep next to the lake,

as you can see on the images, what a place!

After that, we lost a lot of time because twice we were not able to cross rivers on the way

You know, when you look at the map, those rivers

seem very very small and tiny but, with the spring in the snow melting, it was really big.

One of the difficulties of the next days

were, let's say the cold welcome we received in some villages.

You know, some villages here are really small, only populated with elder people...

I don't know, if it was just difficult to get in touch with them...

Yes, it's not easy to connect with everyone

I think, that most of the time, if we have had 2 hours more to get to talk with the people

and introduce ourselves a bit more, it would have been easier

but, when we arrived in the village of Serón de Nágima, we found the village a bit abandoned.

In the least populated area of Spain

Where we got really invited, hosted and well welcomed by all people

we were invited to have lunch with this wonderful family from Morocco

Bachir, his wife and daughter, they had us for lunch.

After Serón de Nágima, we arrived in a place....

that you, guys, voted for

on the last itinerary votes through Facebook.

What was it?

The Natural Park of the Sierra de Alcarama and The Rio de Alhama

Arriving there we thought it was quite random, what a mistake, actually this place was fantastic.

Once again vultures, a lot of birds, but a crazy landscape.

Arriving the village of Cabretón,

We arrived in the village and met one then two then almost all the village

We got invited to sleep in the school.

The next morning when the teacher arrived, he invited us to talk to the kids

about our trip, about Europe, our experience and a lot of things.

We're now talking to you from the desert of Bardenas Reales.

This is one of the biggest desert of all Europe

and the biggest of the Iberian Peninsula.

It's a really stunning place,

charged of something strong, when you arrived here

you don't feel that you are in Europe.

The land is really salty what makes it very tough for the plants to grow making this very particular geology.

We still have 20 kilometers to go in the Bardenas and wow...

The sun is strong, guys!

We talk to you soon. We hope to survive to this desert

We see you for our next log book.

Cheers guys!!!!

40 Things the Word Does for You - Part 2 - Enjoying Everyday Life - Duration: 28:34.

ANNOUNCER: THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY

THE FRIENDS AND PARTNERS OF JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES.

JOYCE: YOU KNOW, THESE ARE GREAT SCRIPTURES TO PRAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PRAY THE WORD.

FILL YOUR PRAYERS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

AND IF YOU THINK, "WELL, I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRAY

ABOUT THIS SITUATION," THEN FIND SOME SCRIPTURES THAT APPLY TO

YOUR SITUATION, AND JUST COMMIT THOSE THINGS TO MEMORY

AND CONFESS THOSE SCRIPTURES ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

AND EVERY TIME THE ENEMY COMES AND SAYS, "WELL, THIS IS NOT

GONNA WORK," YOU SAY, "WELL, LISTEN TO THIS."

[MUSIC]

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

JOYCE: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY FOR THE TEACHING OF

GOD'S WORD, WHICH IS VERY POWERFUL AND IS EXTREMELY

VALUABLE TO ALL OF OUR LIVES.

I LOVE DOING THESE STUDIO TEACHINGS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I

CAN JUST REALLY JUST LOOK RIGHT AT YOU AND SAY, "THIS IS WHAT'S

GONNA BENEFIT YOU."

I'M TALKING TODAY ABOUT WHAT THE WORD OF GOD DOES FOR US,

BECAUSE ANY TIME THAT WE DO WHAT GOD TELLS US TO,

THERE'S ALWAYS A REWARD.

ALWAYS.

AND THAT'S SO GOOD TO KEEP IN MIND, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE'S

A REWARD FOR BEING OBEDIENT TO GOD.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE OBEDIENT TO GOD JUST TO GET

SOMETHING, BUT IT IS ENCOURAGING TO KNOW, IF I KEEP DOING

THE RIGHT THING LONG ENOUGH, I'M GONNA HAVE A GREAT RESULT

IN MY LIFE.

AND SO, I STARTED THIS PREVIOUSLY ON ANOTHER SHOW,

AND TODAY WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE.

I WON'T GET THROUGH ALL 40 OF THESE.

I HAVE A LIST OF 40 THINGS THE WORD OF GOD DOES FOR YOU,

AND THAT'S JUST A SHORT LIST.

LET ME TELL YOU, IT DIDN'T TAKE ME ALL THAT LONG TO PUT THIS

TOGETHER.

I MEAN, THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PROMISES

IN THE WORD OF GOD.

BUT I AM GONNA DO AS MANY AS I CAN, AND THERE'S A LIST ONLINE.

YOU CAN GET ON OUR WEBSITE AND YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF THESE

40 THINGS THAT THE WORD OF GOD DOES FOR YOU.

AND WHAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL WOULD BE IF YOU WOULD TAKE THEM

THEN AND CONTINUE YOUR OWN STUDY.

YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE A STUDY THAT COULD TAKE YOU

2 OR 3 MONTHS, AND BOY, WHAT WOULD YOU LEARN?

AND SO, LET'S JUST CONTINUE NOW.

AND THE THING THAT WE WANNA LOOK AT FIRST TODAY IS GOD'S WORD IS

FILLED WITH PROMISES TO GIVE US MERCY AND GRACE.

GOD'S WORD IS FILLED--NOT--IT'S NOT FILLED WITH MESSAGES OF,

BOY, EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A LITTLE MISTAKE, YOU'RE IN

TROUBLE.

IT'S FILLED WITH MERCY.

YOU KNOW WHAT MERCY IS?

IT'S KINDNESS BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WE COULD EVER DESERVE.

SO, WHEN WE GIVE MERCY TO SOMEBODY, IF YOU'RE WAITING TO

FIND SOMEBODY THAT DESERVES MERCY TO GIVE IT TO THEM,

THEN THAT'S NOT MERCY.

MERCY IS GIVING SOMEBODY SOMETHING THAT THEY DO NOT

DESERVE, BUT YOU DO IT BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE, BECAUSE THAT'S

YOUR CHARACTER, NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DO.

AND GRACE, OH MY GOODNESS.

GRACE IS SO AMAZING.

IT IS UNDESERVED FAVOR AND IT IS THE POWER TO DO--IT'S THE POWER

OF THE HOLY SPIRIT COME INTO OUR LIFE FREELY AS GIFT TO HELP US

DO WHAT GOD ASKS US TO DO.

SO MANY TIMES, WE CAN READ THESE PROMISES AND THINK, "I JUST

DON'T THINK I CAN DO THAT.

I DON'T THINK I CAN FORGIVE THAT PERSON THAT HURT ME SO BAD.

I JUST DON'T THINK I CAN."

WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU CAN'T, AND I CAN'T EITHER, BUT GOD CAN

DO IT THROUGH US AND HE CAN STRENGTHEN US AND ENABLE US.

AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HELPS WHEN I FEEL, FOR

EXAMPLE, LIKE, YOU KNOW--I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ANYMORE

BECAUSE I'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE WORD OF GOD,

BUT I CAN REMEMBER TIMES WHEN I WOULD FEEL ANGRY AT SOMEBODY AND

I KNEW THAT I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO STAY THAT WAY.

I DIDN'T WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT, AND I WOULD LITERALLY GO

SOMEWHERE, AND GET MY BIBLE OUT, AND START READING SCRIPTURES

ABOUT FORGIVENESS AND MERCY.

AND YOU CAN FEEL YOUR SOUL CALM DOWN.

I MEAN, IT'S REALLY JUST LIKE AN OINTMENT THAT WILL CALM YOUR

SOUL DOWN, AND AT THE SAME TIME ENABLE YOU TO DO WHAT YOU NEED

TO DO.

A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA--"

LIKE, I SAID THE OTHER DAY I WAS GONNA TEACH ON PATIENCE,

AND SOMEBODY SAID TO ME, "WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA TELL PEOPLE?

HOW ARE YOU GONNA TELL THEM IF THEY'RE IMPATIENT, TO CHANGE?"

I SAID, "YOU STUDY THE WORD."

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE MAY GET TIRED OF ME SAYING THAT, BUT THAT IS

THE ANSWER.

WE STUDY THE WORD, WE STUDY THE WORD, WE STUDY THE WORD.

YOU DON'T JUST TRY.

THERE IS AN EFFORT THAT WE PUT OUT, BUT IT'S NOT A FLESHLY

EFFORT.

IT'S AN EFFORT IN THE POWER OF GOD, AND WE LEAN ON HIM FOR HIS

GRACE AND HIS MERCY TO HELP US BE SUCCESSFUL.

THEN WHEN WE ARE SUCCESSFUL, WE DON'T TAKE THE CREDIT.

WE GIVE GOD THE GLORY AND WE SAY, "THANK YOU, GOD, THAT YOU

ENABLED ME TO BE AN OVERCOMER IN THIS AREA."

"I ENTREATED YOUR FAVOR WITH MY WHOLE HEART; BE MERCIFUL

AND GRACIOUS TO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD."

NOW, HERE'S A GOOD ONE.

GOD'S WORD GIVES US GOOD JUDGMENT.

HOW MANY OF YOU COULD USE A LITTLE MORE OF THAT?

ANYBODY HERE EVER JUST MADE A REALLY BAD DECISION THAT COST

YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR A LONG TIME?

NO, NOBODY DID THAT?

OKAY.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: GOD'S WORD GIVES US GOOD JUDGMENT, AND I LOVE THIS,

WISE AND RIGHT DISCERNMENT, AND KNOWLEDGE.

MAN, SUCH A SHORT LITTLE SCRIPTURE, BUT LOOK AT WHAT--

THE PROMISE.

GOOD JUDGMENT, WISDOM, RIGHT DISCERNMENT, AND KNOWLEDGE.

NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT DISCERNMENT IS.

DISCERNMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR NATURAL BRAIN, IT HAS

TO DO WITH YOUR--THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT, YOUR HEART, WHERE YOU

CAN BE LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS JUST TOTALLY RIGHT, LIKE,

"WELL, WHY WOULDN'T I WANNA DO THAT?"

OR "WHY WOULDN'T I WANNA HANG OUT WITH THAT PERSON?"

AND YET SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART IS JUST SAYING, "NO, NO, NO,

NOPE, NOPE."

AND REALLY, SOMETIMES FOR ME IT'S KIND OF ANNOYING WHEN I

KNOW THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH SOMEBODY BUT I CAN'T PUT

MY FINGER ON IT.

WHEN I KNOW, IT'S LIKE, BOY, YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT.

BUT SEE, GOD DOESN'T WANT US--I MEAN, HE IS FULL OF MYSTERY,

BUT HE ALSO WILL FOREWARN US OF THINGS IF WE WILL PAY ATTENTION

TO HIM.

AND SO, WE NEED TO LEARN TO LISTEN TO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

SO, "TEACH ME GOOD JUDGMENT, WISE AND RIGHT DISCERNMENT, AND

KNOWLEDGE, FOR I HAVE BELIEVED (TRUSTED, RELIED ON, AND CLUNG

TO) YOUR COMMANDMENTS."

BOY, THIS IS A GOOD ONE HERE.

PSALM 119:72, GOD'S WORD IS BETTER THAN THOUSANDS OF GOLD

AND SILVER PIECES.

WOW.

ARE WE GONNA PURSUE THE WORD OF GOD EVEN HALFWAY AS MUCH

AS WE PURSUE MAKING A LIVING AND MAKING MONEY?

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO--LET'S JUST SAY THAT YOU HAD A JOB, AND

THAT JOB REQUIRED SO MUCH OUT OF YOU THAT YOU COULD NOT ATTEND

CHURCH, YOU DID NOT HAVE ANY TIME TO STUDY THE WORD.

WOULD YOU SAY, "WELL, THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.

I HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING," OR WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GET

ANOTHER JOB, ONE WHERE MAYBE YOU EVEN MADE A LITTLE LESS MONEY,

BUT YOU SAID, "IF I HAVE TO DO WITHOUT SOME STUFF, I CAN,

BUT I CANNOT DO WITHOUT THE WORD OF GOD"?

I HAVE TO HAVE GOD IN MY LIFE, I HAVE TO HAVE HIS PRESENCE,

AND I HAVE TO HAVE THE WORD.

WHEN WE BEGIN TO HONOR THE WORD TO THAT DEGREE, WE SEE GOD'S

HONOR COME INTO OUR LIFE IN AN AMAZING, AMAZING WAY.

PSALM 119:72, "THE LAW FROM YOUR MOUTH IS BETTER TO ME THAN

THOUSANDS OF GOLD AND SILVER PIECES."

NOW, ALSO, THE BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM THAT GOD'S WORD MAKES ME

WISER THAN MY ENEMIES.

HOW MANY OF YOU WANNA BE A LITTLE SMARTER THAN THE DEVIL?

YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY'S OUT TO GET YOU, WOULDN'T YOU LIKE

TO RECOGNIZE WHAT THEY'RE UP TO BEFORE YOU'RE SERIOUSLY IN

TROUBLE?

I LIKE BEING WISER THAN MY ENEMIES.

HERE'S THE SCRIPTURE, "YOU, THROUGH

YOUR COMMANDMENTS, MAKE ME WISER THAN MY ENEMIES,

FOR [YOUR WORDS] ARE EVER BEFORE ME."

PSALM 119:105, "YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT

TO MY PATH."

IT SHOWS US WHICH WAY TO GO IN LIFE.

SHOULD I GO RIGHT?

SHOULD I GO LEFT?

SHOULD I DO THIS?

SHOULDN'T I DO THIS?

WHAT DOES THE WORD HAVE TO SAY?

WHEN WE ARE AFFLICTED, GOD'S WORD QUICKENS US

AND GIVES US LIFE.

I LOVE THAT QUICKENING.

STIMULATES, ENCOURAGES.

PSALM 119:107, "I AM SORELY AFFLICTED; RENEW AND QUICKEN ME

[GIVE ME LIFE], O LORD, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD!"

YOU KNOW, THESE ARE GREAT SCRIPTURES TO PRAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PRAY THE WORD.

FILL YOUR PRAYERS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

AND IF YOU THINK, "WELL, I JUST DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRAY

ABOUT THIS SITUATION," THEN FIND SOME SCRIPTURES THAT APPLY TO

YOUR SITUATION, AND JUST COMMIT THOSE THINGS TO MEMORY

AND CONFESS THOSE SCRIPTURES ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

AND EVERY TIME THE ENEMY COMES AND SAYS, "WELL, THIS IS NOT

GONNA WORK," YOU SAY, "WELL, LISTEN TO THIS.

LISTEN TO THIS."

OH BOY, HERE WE GO.

GOD'S WORD GIVES US HOPE.

WOW.

THERE'S A SCRIPTURE IN 1 PETER THAT I HAVE JUST COME TO LOVE,

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

"WE ARE BORN AGAIN INTO AN EVER-LIVING HOPE."

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

WHEN YOU'RE BORN AGAIN, WHEN YOU BECOME A CHILD OF GOD, AND YOU

RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, FROM THAT MOMENT ON, YOU ARE

NEVER WITHOUT HOPE IN YOUR LIFE.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HOPE IS?

IT'S AN EXPECTATION THAT SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

SO, THAT MEANS NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW,

NO MATTER HOW BAD YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE, NO MATTER HOW

LONG YOU'VE HAD THE SITUATION THAT YOU'VE GOT RIGHT NOW, YOU

CAN BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING GOOD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

NOT ONLY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, YOU SHOULD SAY IT.

I BELIEVE WE NEED TO SPEAK THOSE WORDS FORTH IN OUR LIFE.

GOD'S WORD GIVES US HOPE.

PSALM 119:114, "YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE AND MY SHIELD;

I PUT MY HOPE IN YOUR WORD."

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE POWER THAT'S IN THE WORD OF GOD.

THE WORD OF GOD IS A SEED.

I HAVE A PEACH SEED HERE.

I GOT THIS ONE BECAUSE IT'S A BIG ONE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I COULD GET A LITTLE, TINY SEED AND IT STILL HAS POWER.

GOD'S WORD HAS INHERENT POWER IN IT.

THAT MEANS JUST LIKE THERE'S AN ABILITY INSIDE OF THIS SEED IF

PLANTED, AND NURTURED, AND CARED FOR, TO PRODUCE MORE OF WHAT

THIS SEED IS, TO PRODUCE--RIGHT NOW IT JUST LOOKS LIKE AN UGLY,

DRIED UP SEED, BUT IF I PLANT IT, IT'S GONNA PRODUCE WHAT'S

INSIDE OF IT.

THERE'S POWER IN THIS PEACH SEED TO PRODUCE PEACHES

IF IT'S PLANTED.

AND THERE'S POWER IN THE WORD OF GOD TO PRODUCE WHAT GOD PROMISES

THAT IT WILL PRODUCE IF WE LET GOD PLANT IT IN OUR HEARTS,

AND WE NURTURE IT, AND WE KEEP WATERING IT WITH THE WORD.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A LAW IN THE EARTH.

YOU SOW, YOU WILL REAP.

IF YOU DON'T SOW, YOU'RE NOT GONNA REAP.

IF WE WILL STUDY THE WORD OF GOD, BELIEVING IT LIKE THAT,

THERE'S POWER IN THIS.

I DON'T JUST READ A CHAPTER A DAY.

I MEAN, I USED TO READ A CHAPTER A DAY SO I COULD GET A CHECKMARK

HERE, AND YOU KNOW, FEEL LIKE I'D DONE MY DUTY.

THAT'S ABOUT THE SAME WAY I WENT TO CHURCH AND DID EVERYTHING

ELSE THAT I DID.

BUT BOY, THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO THIS THAN THAT.

IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, IF YOU'RE A BELIEVER IN CHRIST, AND ALL

YOU DO IS GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY

YOUR LIFE'S NOT WORKING OUT, WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WE HAVE GOT A MESS IN OUR WORLD TODAY AND YOU NEED MORE THAN

A LITTLE 20-MINUTE SERMONETTE ON SUNDAY MORNING AND MAYBE

A 45-MINUTE TO AN HOUR VISIT IN A PLACE WHERE MAYBE YOU DON'T

EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HALF THE TIME.

GOD WANTS TO BE IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE.

I MEAN, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, GOD JUST WANTS TO MESS

IN YOUR BUSINESS.

HE JUST WANTS TO GET INTO EVERYTHING.

AND WHEN YOU INVITE HIM IN, IF YOU'LL BEGIN TO STUDY HIS WORD,

HE WILL BEGIN TO GIVE YOU A LIFE THAT WILL BE SO AMAZING THAT YOU

WON'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE IT.

AND I'M NOT SAYING IT'S ALL GONNA HAPPEN OVERNIGHT,

BUT IF YOU'RE PERSISTENT AND CONSISTENT, IT WILL HAPPEN.

THINGS IN YOUR LIFE--LISTEN TO ME.

THINGS IN YOUR LIFE CAN CHANGE.

ONLY GOD NEVER CHANGES, BUT THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT HE

CANNOT CHANGE.

IF YOU TRUST GOD, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIM.

WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

WELL, NOW I'M GETTING EXCITED AGAIN.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

JOYCE: "YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE AND MY SHIELD;

I HOPE IN YOUR WORD."

PSALM 119:130, "THE ENTRANCE AND UNFOLDING OF YOUR WORD GIVES

LIGHT; THEIR UNFOLDING GIVES UNDERSTANDING (DISCERNMENT AND

COMPREHENSION) TO THE SIMPLE."

SEE, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE ESPECIALLY SMART TO UNDERSTAND

THE WORD.

I MEAN, JUST A SIMPLE PERSON, A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND THIS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT THE BIBLE AND THINK, "WELL, YOU

KNOW, I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE."

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND IT.

YOU GO DILIGENTLY, AND YOU STUDY, AND YOU READ, AND YOU

TRUST THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GIVE YOU LIGHT, TO TEACH YOU, AND TO

DIRECT YOU BY THE WORD OF GOD.

NOW, I JUST GOTTA READ THESE, BECAUSE THESE SCRIPTURES

ARE JUST SO GOOD.

"JESUS IS THE WORD."

SO SEE, THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO RESPECT THIS.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I--DON'T THROW YOUR BIBLE AROUND.

DON'T JUST, YOU KNOW, PILE IT UNDER A BUNCH OF STUFF.

THIS IS THE MOST PRECIOUS BOOK IN THE WORLD.

WE NEED TO CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS THAT IF SOMEBODY SAID TO

US, "YOU'RE GONNA SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN PRISON.

YOU CAN HAVE ONE POSSESSION.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?" THIS WOULD BE WHAT YOU

SHOULD TAKE.

THIS IS WHAT YOU TAKE.

YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR EARRINGS, YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR LIPSTICK,

YOU DON'T TAKE YOUR AUTOMOBILE.

YOU TAKE THE WORD OF GOD, BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU NEED,

REALLY, IS IN HERE.

AND SO, BUT JESUS IS THE WORD WHO ACTUALLY TOOK ON FLESH

AND CAME HERE.

IN THE BEGINNING, GOD SAID, AND THAT WAS JESUS.

NOW, HE BECAME FLESH, CAME HERE IN A HUMAN BODY TO PAY THE PRICE

FOR OUR SINS, BUT HE WAS FULLY GOD AND FULLY MAN.

FULLY GOD AND FULLY MAN.

AND HE IS THE WORD.

SO, WHEN YOU STUDY THE WORD, YOU'RE FELLOWSHIPPING

WITH JESUS.

RIGHT NOW, HE'S IN THE MIDST OF US.

SO, GOTTA READ YOU THESE SCRIPTURES.

"IN THE BEGINNING [BEFORE ALL TIME] WAS THE WORD (CHRIST),

AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD HIMSELF."

JOHN 1:14, "AND THE WORD (CHRIST) BECAME FLESH (HUMAN,

INCARNATE) AND TABERNACLED (FIXED HIS TENT OF FLESH,

AND LIVED FOR AWHILE) AMONG US; AND WE [ACTUALLY] SAW HIS GLORY

(HIS HONOR, HIS MAJESTY), SUCH GLORY AS AN ONLY BEGOTTEN

SON RECEIVES FROM HIS FATHER, FULL OF GRACE

AND FULL OF TRUTH."

WOW.

FULL OF GRACE AND FULL OF TRUTH.

ONE LAST ONE, REVELATION 19:13.

I'M PARTICULARLY FOND OF THIS.

THERE'S A DESCRIPTION OF JESUS, AND IT SAYS, "HE'S DRESSED IN

A ROBE DYED BY DIPPING IN BLOOD, AND THE TITLE BY WHICH HE IS

CALLED IS THE WORD OF GOD."

IS THAT NOT AMAZING?

CAN YOU IMAGINE JESUS ON A WHITE HORSE, WITH FLAMES OF

FIRE COMING OUT OF HIS EYES, AND WHITE HAIR THAT'S SO BRIGHT YOU

DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOOK AT IT, AND THIS ROBE DIPPED IN BLOOD,

AND THIS BIG TITLE ACROSS HIS CHEST, "THE WORD OF GOD."

AMEN? WHOO!

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT DAY.

JESUS IS COMING SOON.

AND YOU KNOW, WHAT--WE SHOULD BE SPENDING OUR TIME HERE GETTING

READY FOR THERE.

THAT'S KIND OF A NEW PHRASE I'VE COME UP WITH AND I LIKE IT.

WHILE YOU'RE HERE, GET READY FOR THERE.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE THERE, THINKING YOU CAN GET READY

FOR THERE, AMEN?

THE WORD OF GOD, JAMES 1:21.

NOW, THIS IS A FAVORITE SCRIPTURE OF MINE TOO.

THE WORD OF GOD, WHEN IT'S PLANTED AND ROOTED IN OUR

HEARTS, HAS THE POWER TO SAVE OUR SOULS.

OUR SOULS.

NOT YOUR SPIRIT.

IF YOU'RE BORN AGAIN, GOD HAS COME BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LIVE

IN YOUR SPIRIT.

EVERYTHING IN YOUR DEEP SPIRIT, THE DEEPEST PART OF YOU,

IS ALL CLEANED UP.

IT'S HOLY, ON AND ON.

BUT THE SOUL CAN GIVE US A PROBLEM.

AND OUR SOUL IS LIKE THE SECOND COMPARTMENT OF OUR BEING.

IT WOULD BE LIKE THE SECOND DEEPEST PLACE IN US.

THE SPIRIT'S DEEPER, BUT THE SOUL IS NEXT, AND THAT'S

YOUR MIND, YOUR WILL, AND YOUR EMOTIONS.

IT'S HOW YOU THINK, WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU FEEL, AND THAT'S

WHAT GIVES US TROUBLE.

THE MIND HAS TO BE RENEWED BY THE WORD OF GOD, THE WILL NEEDS

TO BE TURNED OVER TO THE WILL OF GOD, AND THE EMOTIONS NEED TO

NOT RULE US.

AMEN?

AND SO, GET THIS, JAMES 1:21, "SO GET RID OF ALL UNCLEANNESS

AND THE RAMPANT OUTGROWTH OF WICKEDNESS, AND IN A (MODEST,

GENTLE) SPIRIT RECEIVE AND WELCOME THE WORD OF GOD

WHICH IMPLANTED AND ROOTED [IN YOUR HEARTS]

CONTAINS THE POWER TO SAVE YOUR SOUL."

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.

YOU MIGHT JUST SAY, YOU KNOW, IF I PUT SUGAR IN CAKE BATTER, IT

HAS THE POWER TO MAKE IT SWEET.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

IF I PUT THE WORD OF GOD INTO MY LIFE, IT HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE

MY SOUL.

BUT YOU GOTTA PUT IT IN.

IT SAYS, "TO THOSE WHO WELCOME THE WORD OF GOD IN A HUMBLE

ATTITUDE."

IN OTHER WORDS, "MAN, I NEED THIS, GOD.

I NEED EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAY.

THERE'S NOTHING YOU SAY THAT I DON'T NEED, AND I DON'T CARE HOW

MANY TIMES I HEAR IT, I NEED IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN."

OH BOY, HERE IT COMES NOW.

THIS IS GETTING BETTER EVERY TIME.

GOD'S WORD STRENGTHENS US.

HALLELUJAH.

HOW MANY OF YOU NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED TODAY IN YOUR

RESOLVE TO KEEP GOING AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU--YOU KNOW,

EVEN JUST TO DO GOOD.

WE NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED TO KEEP JUST DOING WHAT'S RIGHT,

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE STILL IN AN AREA WHERE YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE

YOU'RE GETTING THE RIGHT RESULT YET.

AND YOU KNOW, GOD WILL TEST US AND TRY US.

HE DOESN'T WANT US TO SERVE HIM JUST FOR WHAT WE GET.

AND SO, YOU MAY HAVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING FOR A LONG TIME

BEFORE YOU START GETTING A RIGHT RESULT.

BUT IF OUR HEART'S RIGHT, WE'LL DO THE RIGHT THING 'TIL JESUS

COMES BACK TO GET US IN FAITH THAT WHEN HE SHOWS UP, HE'S

COMING WITH MY FULL REWARD.

HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL TAKE UNTIL HE COMES BACK, BUT WE

HAVE TO LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT.

WE CAN'T BE SAYING, "WELL, I'M GONNA DO THIS FOR ANOTHER MONTH,

AND IF I DON'T GET A BREAKTHROUGH, THEN BLAH BLAH."

I REMEMBER A GIRL WHO CAME TO THE PLATFORM AFTER I SPOKE

ONE NIGHT, AND SHE HAD HER HANDS ON HER HIPS,

AND SHE SAID, "I WANT MY MONEY BACK."

I SAID, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

SHE SAID, "LISTEN, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 2 WEEKS, GIVING,

AND LISTENING TO YOU PREACH, AND NOTHING'S CHANGED YET."

AND I THOUGHT, "OH--" IT WAS HARD FOR ME NOT TO LAUGH

IN HER FACE, IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH.

I MEAN, WE SPEND A LIFETIME GETTING IN A MESS, AND THEN

WE'RE MAD AT GOD IF WE READ THREE SCRIPTURES AND WE HAVEN'T

CHANGED.

SO, THE WORD OF GOD WILL STRENGTHEN US TO KEEP GOING.

IT WILL STRENGTHEN US NOT TO QUIT AND GIVE UP.

IT WILL STRENGTHEN US NOT TO GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION.

GOD, YOUR WORD IS MY STRENGTH.

NOW, HERE'S A SCRIPTURE, PSALM 119:28,

"MY LIFE DISSOLVES AND WEEPS ITSELF AWAY FOR HEAVINESS;

RAISE ME UP AND STRENGTHEN ME ACCORDING TO [THE PROMISES OF]

YOUR WORD."

HERE'S A GOOD ONE.

HOW MANY OF YOU HERE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH A HARD HEART,

YOU'VE EVER HAD A HARDNESS ON YOUR HEART?

OKAY. WELL, I DID.

I WAS ABUSED WHEN I WAS A CHILD, AND SO I HAD A HARD HEART.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A LOT OF MISTREATMENT,

THE ONLY WAY YOU SEEM TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE IT IS TO GET THIS

HARDNESS ON YOUR HEART THAT KINDA COMES LIKE, "I DON'T CARE.

I DON'T NEED PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW, WHO NEEDS YOU?

NOBODY'S GONNA TELL ME WHAT TO DO AGAIN."

AND SO, IN A WAY, YOU'RE PROTECTING YOURSELF, BUT THEN

WHEN YOU START TRYING TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND BEHAVE

LIKE A CHRISTIAN, YOU HAVE TO TRUST GOD TO MELT THAT

HARDNESS OFF OF YOUR HEART.

GOD'S WORD MELTS THE HARDNESS IN OUR HEART.

HERE IT COMES, PSALM 147:18, "HE SENDS OUT HIS WORD, AND MELTS

[ICE AND SNOW]."

WERE YOU LIKE A BLOCK OF ICE?

NO WARMTH IN RELATIONSHIPS.

HE MELTS THOSE COLD, HARD HEARTS.

"HE CAUSES HIS WIND TO BLOW, AND THE WATERS FLOW."

NOW, YOU PROBABLY WON'T CARE MUCH FOR THIS, BUT IT'S IN HERE,

SO I PROBABLY NEED TO TELL IT TO YOU.

THE WORD OF GOD OFTEN BRINGS PERSECUTION.

SEE, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU FIRST START TRYING TO STUDY THE WORD,

THE ENEMY WILL LAUNCH AN ATTACK AGAINST YOU TO SEE IF YOU REALLY

MEAN BUSINESS.

MARK 4:17, "AND THEY," IT'S TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE GROUND

THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS SOWN INTO.

IN MARK, THERE'S DIFFERENT TYPES OF GROUND THAT THE WORD IS

SOWN INTO.

"AND THEY HAVE NO REAL ROOT IN THEMSELVES, AND SO THEY ENDURE

FOR A LITTLE WHILE; AND THEN WHEN TROUBLE OR PERSECUTION

ARISES ON ACCOUNT OF THE WORD, THEY IMMEDIATELY ARE OFFENDED

(THEY BECOME DISPLEASED, INDIGNANT, RESENTFUL) AND THEY

STUMBLE AND THEY FALL AWAY."

YOU SEE, WHEN I BEGAN TO SERIOUSLY STUDY THE WORD OF GOD,

I STARTED LOSING FRIENDS.

CHRISTIAN FRIENDS.

YOU SAY, "WELL, WHY WOULD YOU LOSE CHRISTIAN FRIENDS?"

BECAUSE NOT ALWAYS DOES EVERYBODY WANT TO BE--EVERYBODY

WHO IS A CHRISTIAN IS NOT A COMMITTED, SERIOUS CHRISTIAN.

I ALWAYS SAY SOME PEOPLE HAVE ENOUGH OF JESUS TO STAY OUT OF

HELL, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO WALK IN VICTORY.

AND SO, WHEN YOU DECIDE, "I'M GONNA WALK IN VICTORY," THE

ENEMY DOESN'T WANT THAT FOR YOU.

THAT'S THE LAST THING HE WANTS FOR YOU, SO HE WILL BRING ATTACK

AGAINST YOU, HE WILL BRING PERSECUTION, HE'LL BRING

CRITICISM, HE'LL BRING JUDGMENT.

PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU YOU'RE A RELIGIOUS FANATIC AND ALL KINDS

OF THINGS JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LOVE JESUS WITH ALL OF

YOUR HEART.

SO, STAND STRONG.

THE WORD TRANSFORMS US INTO GOD'S IMAGE.

CHANGES US.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CHRIST-LIKE.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THE IMAGE

OF CHRIST.

YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO PRAY WHEN I GO OUT, ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET UP

IN THE PULPIT TO PREACH, "LORD, I PRAY THEY'LL SEE YOU TODAY

AND NOT ME, AND THEY'LL HEAR FROM YOU AND NOT ME."

AND WE NEED TO BE LIKE THAT EVEN WHEN WE FELLOWSHIP WITH PEOPLE.

"GOD, I PRAY THAT THEY'LL FEEL LIKE THEY'RE WITH YOU, NOT ME,

THAT THE FRUIT THAT COMES OUT OF ME WILL BE YOUR FRUIT, NOT

THE FRUIT OF THE FLESH."

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18, AND THIS IS GONNA HAVE TO BE MY LAST

SCRIPTURE, "AND ALL OF US, AS WITH UNVEILED FACE, [BECAUSE WE]

CONTINUED."

EVERYBODY IN HERE SAY, "CONTINUED."

AUDIENCE: CONTINUED.

JOYCE: "BECAUSE WE CONTINUED TO BEHOLD

[IN THE WORD OF GOD] AS IN A MIRROR THE GLORY OF THE LORD,

ARE CONSTANTLY BEING TRANSFORMED INTO HIS IMAGE FROM ONE DEGREE

OF GLORY TO ANOTHER, TO ANOTHER, TO ANOTHER."

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

IF YOU CONTINUE TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD, YOU WILL GET

The Future is Better Than You Think - Peter Diamandis | #TomFerryShow - Duration: 23:48.

- Do you believe that right now

is the single greatest time in the planet

to be alive and doing what you do professionally?

If the answer is yes, you're going to love this interview.

(light music)

Hey, welcome to the Tom Ferry show.

Today, I'm doing something very special.

I had a really good fortune of spending some time

with Dr. Peter Diamandis.

Now, you may or may not have heard of this guy.

He is the founder of a thing called the X Prize,

extraordinary foundation, as well as the author

of two amazing books, Abundance and Bold.

You've heard me talk about him,

especially if you see me live in the last 12 months.

Today, I call Peter a friend and a mentor,

and what you're about to be exposed to

is what Fortune Magazine calls

one of the 50 greatest leaders of our generation,

someone that is an exponential thinker, out of the box.

And I get him to relay 100% of all his strategies

to you and your business.

So, get ready to have your mind be expanded

and enjoy my interview with Dr. Peter Diamandis.

Alright, so I'm super excited guys.

Dr. Peter Diamandis, pleasure Peter.

Thank you so much for being here.

- A pleasure, pal.

- So for the people that have never been exposed

or read your two books which I've been

promoting forever aggressively,

who is Dr. Peter Diamandis?

- So I'm someone who believe we're living

in the most extraordinary time ever in human history.

I focus on the exponential technologies

such as computations, sensors, networks,

AI, robotics, 3D printing, blockchains, synthetic biology.

All of these technologies that are

really creating this extraordinary world we're in.

And I think we're constantly barrage

by negative news I call

CNN: The Crisis News Network, you know that?

And it's true, we're bombarded by negative news,

because every news agency is vying for attention.

They're job is deliver our eyeballs to their advertisers.

And at the end of the day, if you look at the actual data,

we're living during the most peaceful time

ever in human history.

Over the last hundred years, the per capita income

for every nation in our planet is tripled,

the lifespan is doubled, and doubled again,

the cost of food is dropped 30 fold,

energy is dropped a hundred fold,

transportations thousands of fold,

communications millions if not billions of fold.

And it's amazing.

I mean, just think about what each of us

has on this device, right?

It's like the world's knowledge.

Millions of dollars of capabilities

to a video conferencing, books, libraries,

everything we want on this thing,

and it's just awesome.

- So why do you think,

and I mentioned to you that,

you guys have heard me say this before,

that in many cases, the entire real estate agent

is based upon this fear:

owners are afraid managers are gonna leave.

Managers are afraid their agents are gonna leave,

and agents are afraid that buyers

and sellers are not gonna buy.

So the vast majority of our listeners

are very growth mindset,

like they're the kind of people

that you want to work with, right?

They're fun, they're energetic,

they're thinking about the future,

but someone's watching this right now

that's probably in the state of panic,

and they hear you say that this is

the most extraordinary time of the planet to be alive.

And they're like, he doesn't understand my problems.

What do we say to that person

that may get them out of that thinking?

Do you have any data, any stats?

- Yeah, so I mean, first of all,

everyone of us is more empowered than ever before

to solve our problems.

It used to be that if our problems

have gotten much higher lever, they're complicated.

But for example, now you can ask the world, right?

I guarantee you, the problems that you have

are not only your problems,

that there are other entrepreneurs

or real estate agents around the world,

and you can find out how they've solved it

if you take the time to go and ask.

So that's the first thing.

There's actually more capital flowing

than any time ever in human history,

massive amounts of capital, right?

Some people might be knowledgeable

and thinking about cryptocurrencies,

but there'll be probably $10 billion

of initial coin offering, ICOs, capital flowing

and sovereign wealth funds

that nations are starting to invest in.

I mean, think about here in California,

who's purchased most of the homes?

It's been like expats out of China,

or out of Dubai, or out of Saudi Arabia.

So these, you know, money is flowing from around the globe

to quality real estate.

And at the end of the day, our tools that we have

to solve problems are higher quality.

We're gonna see artificial intelligence coming in.

I mean, I'll give you a vision five,

seven, ten years from now.

One of my favorite movies is Iron Man,

and when you see sort of Iron Man with J.A.R.V.I.S,

this AI shell that he's speaking to,

we're all gonna have our version of J.A.R.V.I.S.

We're gonna have this AI

that you're gonna give permission

to read your emails, listen to your conversations,

watch what you're eating, look at your blood chemistries,

all of this information,

and it's gonna be integrating this information.

And you're gonna give it permission

because it's going to analyze it

and help you all the time,

like I'm having conversations,

I want to remember what your kids names are,

your birthday is, and my AI will be able

to bring this up on my augmented reality googles or glasses.

But it's more than that.

You're gonna be able to have an AI

that is your intelligent partner

to say, you know, what do you think I should do here?

- How do we solve this?

- How do I solve this, right?

So think about the notion of how we've gone

from thinking about 'I need to go and look up a fact,'

and you'd hop on your car, drive to the library,

look in that old card catalog

try and find the book, and then there's maybe a chance

the library had the book that was large enough,

and you have to order it,

it will come to you, you read it,

and then you look at it and it's not in that book.

And today, it's couple of keystrokes

or better yet an audio conversation, you know.

And you've got the answer,

and not only do you have the answer,

you have a hundred variations of the answer.

And so we've demonetized, dematerialized,

and democratized access to information.

The next layer is gonna be adding access

to wisdom and knowledge on top of that information.

My business partner and friend, Ray Kurzweil,

who, you know, I brought A360 a number of times,

just brought a new Google product,

which is sort of talk with books.

And so they scanned and digitized and digested

a hundred thousand books.

And you can ask a question of any

of this hundred thousand books,

and the AI will look at all of those books

and find the best contextual answer,

and you can have a conversation with the author

in one sense in this virtual setup.

- Are you listening to this?

- So I want you to think about the notion that

an AI is gonna be your personal intelligent assistant.

And we're beginning to see that.

We see that with Alexa in the home right now.

- Alexa, exactly.

- And it's just moving so fast.

- Who was the company...

First off, I went to Abundance 360 and it was,

I said to you a couple of days ago,

the first opening session,

I could have walked away and I had an after work on.

It was extraordinary.

But then all of the companies and all the people

that you introduced us to,

they were just panning a picture, guys.

They were showing us this is how it's working,

3D printing, et cetera.

There was a company there and I can't remember the name,

but it was essentially take everything you know

and put it in the cloud

so people could access you.

- Yeah, Rival Theory.

- Rival Theory.

- Yeah, a friend of mine is the chairman of that company,

so they're working with Tony Robins right now.

I am excited about the company.

I wanna work with him as well.

So Tony is a perfect person, right?

He's got thousands of hours of video and books

and audio recordings, and so, an IA can effectively

digest your knowledge.

- Yes.

- And parse it, and then you

for your community the same thing, right?

And so imagine an audio version first

and a video version later

where someone can ask you, "Hey Tom, tell me about

"what I should do in this scenario,"

or whatever it might be,

and know that that AI representation of you

is able to deliver an answer at 99.99% accuracy

of what you would deliver,

unless it was a completely new subject

that you'd never commented on,

and then it'll interpolate as best it can.

- This is the most exciting time on the planet to be alive.

- It is.

- This definitely freaks some people out,

and a whole bunch will be watching this

six or seven times and share it with it

with their kids and their friends.

What about the real estate industry?

- Listen, the fact of the matter is

every industry is always changing all the time.

And if you're not changing with it,

if you're not trying to reinvent yourself,

then you're moving backwards.

And we've seen real estate change a bunch,

and we're gonna see, you know,

I believe in the next decade, we're gonna create

more wealth than we have in the last hundred years,

just to put perspective on it.

We're also gonna transform every aspect of our lives.

And will real estate industry change dramatically

in 30 years, 20 years, 10 years?

You know, it's somewhere in that period of time.

What are we gonna start to see?

We're gonna start to see AI become the agent best tool

and buyer's best tool.

We're starting to see the web,

but imagine the web 10x faster, bigger.

But I imagine a scenario where I'm gonna put on

my VR googles and there'll be a digitized home.

Now VR has been, virtual reality has been

in a doldrums and in the desert but it will come out.

The technology's gonna be getting better

and layered with AI.

But today, the idea of going and seeing a home

on a Sunday between one p.m. and five p.m.

and if you miss that window, it's a pain in the neck.

Eventually, I wanna be able to go and visit

the home at three o'clock in the morning

but have an AI version of you show me around.

But I wanna say what is does house look like

with my furniture in it and be able to see that?

- Turn the fire place on.

Can I see the neighbors?

- Right. - What's it look like

in a sunny day?

- If I invested $50,000 of landscaping,

what would that look like, right?

And be able to re-visualize it

to customize it to your personal needs.

And we're gonna see AI play a role.

We're gonna see virtual and augmented reality play a role.

We're gonna see blockchain play a role.

One of the conversations going on

in the blockchain community right now,

we'll talk more about it at A360 this year,

is how do you tokenize a piece of real estate

where, in fact, there are a hundred owners

of a piece of real estate?

And the ability to transact and sell

my hundredth share rapidly is an instant capability,

and people flowing into and out of that.

And at the end of the day, we're gonna have

to educate ourselves about these technologies

and utilize these technologies.

Yes, the basics will still be there.

Yes, a personal relationship,

yes, I just bought a home.

- Yeah, 'cause some of them,

wait a minute, am I gone?

- No, you're not gone for a while,

but let's be clear, eventually,

I think all of the every job will change.

It's not the next five years.

I think we'll start see inklings of this in a decade,

so 20 or 30 years, yes.

But at the end of the day, personal human relationships

are still critically important, right?

Yes, I just bought a home.

Yes, it was through an agent.

- You didn't use a robot.

- I didn't use a robot.

I did use whatever it was, Redfin out,

looked at it for the first time,

but it was a human that actually did all the paper work

and transacted it and made me feel comfortable

and all of those things.

Humans are important part of the equation,

though I'll be showing some technologies today

that make AIs look more like humans.

We'll see.

So listen, change is coming.

And there's a lot of other changes.

One of my favorite interesting impacts on real estate

is today, I live in Santa Monica,

and it's an expensive real estate area, right?

And I live there because I hate commuting

and my offices are exactly 12 minutes away.

Now, I could get two or three times the house for the dollar

if I was willing to commute an hour.

- Yes.

- I hate driving.

But autonomous cars are gonna change everything, right?

So my drive time in the future

may become my most coveted time,

because I'm meditating, sleeping,

catching up an emails as my autonomous car

is driving back and forth.

And then on top of that, we have all of the electric

flying cars that are coming online.

And those will make my hour commute

a 12 minute vertical takeoff, vertical landing trip.

And then there's Hyperloop.

- That, okay, do you remember,

I wanna say it was November, December of last year

pre-A360, I was able to ask you that question.

What about the person that's living in Nevada

who's gonna work in Orange County, California?

Hyperloop makes it...

How far away are we from that?

- Not too far away.

So Hyperloop, as you know, is this idea that...

Imagine a long tube where you suck the air out of it,

so it's a vacuum.

There's no drag.

And you put a passenger module in there,

and it goes on in electromagnetic rails, if you would.

It's levitated.

And the vision or the engineering models

are Hyperloop traveling at 1200km/hr,

faster than a commercial jet.

So instead of me going to Las Vegas airport,

going through TSA, taking off,

gaining altitude, landing, going through LAX,

which I hate, and then coming to my location,

instead, you go on to a Hyperloop

city center to city center.

And instead of a four-hour drive,

it's an 18 minute commute, right?.

- Isn't it just the modernization of trains?

- It is.

It's a modern day train

that is taking advantage of all the exponential technologies

at super high speeds.

And so, there's a test-track out of Las Vegas right now.

Richard Branson just came on as our chairman of the company,

and we re-branded it Virgin Hyperloop One.

So it's not a matter of if;

it's only a matter of when.

And so, you'll start to see even bedroom commutees

that are someone buys a large piece of real estate

and says we're gonna create a Hyperloop

directly into downtown LA or downtown Orange County

or wherever the case might be.

And we're gonna create 5,000 homes

and run back and forth.

And so you are a seven minute Hyperloop from work,

and you walk to work.

You walk to the Hyperloop and you walk to work.

It's a much more pleasant experience.

- The future just sounds so exciting.

- It is!

And we're living in it right now.

- Exactly, so back up just for, you know,

'cause now, there's gonna be a whole bunch of people

whose brains are popping

and I can't wait to read the comments on YouTube

and Facebook and anything else.

I'm gonna just shameless self-promotion here.

You need to buy these two books are read them.

I think I bought at least a thousand copy of these.

- So you're the guy who did that.

- Yes, that was me, yes.

You sold a thousand and five copies.

No, this sell gazilions of copies.

Take them just on a journey really quick about the X Prize.

- So the realization is we're alive

during a day and age where small teams can do

what only the largest governments

and corporations could do.

I grew up, born in the '60s,

grew up inspired by Star Trek and by Apollo.

Right, Apollo showed where we were,

Star Trek is where we're going,

and I wanted desperately to become an astronaut as a child.

And when I finally met a bunch of astronauts

and got to know that their chances of be...

They were one in a thousand applicants are selected.

And then even those who were selected

to become astronauts by NASA,

half of them have never flown,

because the flight opportunities aren't there.

I joked they're called penguins

because they've wings but don't fly.

And it's my such a passionate desire and dream

to open up space.

And I read one day that Charles Lindbergh in 1927

flew from New York to Paris

not on a whim but to win a $25,000 prize.

And I said, that's interesting.

So this Frenchman Raymond Orteig

put up 25,000 bucks for the first person

to fly between New York or Paris or Paris to New York.

Nine teams spent 400,000 trying to win

this guy's $25,000 bucks.

I'm saying that's brilliant.

You pay only on success.

And I said that's it.

I'm gonna create a prize for private space flight,

and that's the way I'll create

the private spaceships so I can go.

And I called it the X Prize,

'cause I had no idea who's gonna put up the money.

X was a variable to be replaced by the sponsors.

- I've heard this story exactly.

- Funny, right? - Yes.

- And so at the end of the day,

it took me the better part of a decade

to find the Ansari family who funded it.

We called it the $10 million Ansari X Prize

in Anousheh and Amir's honor.

And it drove 26 teams who spent a hundred million dollars

going after the $10 million dollar purse.

The winning team was a group called

Mojave Aerospace Ventures run by Burt Rutan,

backed by Paul Allen, built SpaceShipOne.

Richard Branson came in and bought the rights

to create Virgin Galactic,

and I've got a ticket to fly with Richard on his vehicle,

which will fulfill that childhood dream.

And so today, our question is,

what is a problem in the world

that's not being solved,

and how do we incentivize the world to attack it?

How do we incentivize more teams to go and make it,

make a dent in that universe,

bend reality to their will?

And so we've launched about $150 million as prizes.

$200 million are in the works.

We've got one that's, you know,

a few that are interesting for the real estate community,

one that we just announced as called the Avatar X Prize.

And this is all Nippon Airways, the Japanese airlines.

Amazing that they said,

"So what's gonna disrupt our future?

"And how do we, in fact, embrace it,

"inspire and use it, right?"

Here's the attitude of someone

who knows the future is changing,

but rather than just sort of let back

and let it happen to you,

how do you instead embrace it

and be the change and take advantage of that?

So instead of getting into an aluminum airplane

and flying some place, what's gonna disrupt that?

So we came up with the idea of Avatars.

Imagine a robot that I'm at home in my pajamas right now.

I'm not really here with you.

At home, I've got a VR goggles on.

I've put on a haptic suit,

and I occupy that robot.

And so as I'm at home looking around,

the robot here is looking around.

As I reach out to shake your hand,

it reaches out to shake your hand.

And at the end of the day,

I've effectively Ubered myself, my senses,

my actions into this robot.

And that will translate into a world in which

you know, everybody's got

one of these Avatars in their home.

If their plumbing is broken, a plumber can sort of pop in

and go and fix it.

A physician come in and look at you

ultimately for emergencies.

If there's a nuclear power plant,

the avatar can go in there.

If there's a burning house...

So it's that, kind of, how do we move,

get the right people to the right places

very rapidly, instantly at the speed of light?

- Okay, and if you guys think this is crazy,

what do you think GoToMeeting is right now?

What do you think Zoom Technology is?

And at A360, walking around and seeing the robots...

- Yes, beam robots.

- Right, beam robots cruising around

where I can be sitting in my office in New Port beach,

but my robot could be live in Australia

doing a talk for me.

It's coming.

- Or even Facetime, right?

- Exactly.

- It's free.

How awesome is that?

I mean, we tend to have like, "Oh my God, that's crazy.

"That will never happen."

And it happens, then we take it for granted.

I mean, that's just the way we're wired.

It's crazy.

- So if you give just kind of in closing one piece of advice

to these extraordinary entrepreneurs

in the real estate world,

what's the last piece of advice you'll share?

- So listen, you're mindset is your most important asset,

how you think the world is going.

If you're negative, if you're fearful,

what kind of investments are you gonna make

with your money and your time,

and how you're gonna grow?

Your mindset's key and then educate yourself is key, right?

How do you keep yourself abreast

at what the technologies are?

If nothing else so that you can start to,

when they become available,

you're one of the first agents to say,

"Yeah, I wanna experiment with that."

If you have a mindset which is so retrospective,

you're fearful of the future

versus anticipating and being excited about the future,

then how do you educate yourself?

Where do you go to find out

what's going on in augmented reality,

in robotics, in AI and so forth?

In fact, one of the communities I created,

and I invite your agents to consider it,

it's the abundance of digital community, right?

We've got the Abundance 360,

which is for CEOs like yourself

The Ugric-Turkic Infinity War - Duration: 6:00.

Once upon a time, somewhere in the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy a very big battle occurred.

It was so big that it became a famous battle, called the 'Ugric-Turkic battle'.

The aim of the battle was to decide whether the Hungarian language belonged to the Ugric

or the Turkic language family.

On the Ugric front line Jozsef Budenz, a German linguist, on the Turkic front line Armin Vambery,

a Hungarian linguist were the commanders.

It had been taken for granted that there was an Eastern homeland of Hungarians somewhere

in the Ural mountains called Yugria.

This belief was based on a simple similarity between the toponym Yugria and the ethnonym

hungarus.

In addition, a population was found in the area which called themselves Mansi.

A connection between Mansi and magyar was immediately established and considered as

strong evidence for the Finno-Ugric or Uralic theory.

In this battle commander Budenz tried out a new weapon called Comparative Method, however

as it was new, it wasn't worked out well yet.

In this way, Budenz didn't apply it correctly or he didn't apply it at all.

On the Turkic front line commander Vambery and his soldiers tried to defend the thesis

that Hungarians were of Turkic origin, however their weapons were oldfashioned.

Vambery's method of Turkish-Tatar word comparison to Hungarian was severely criticised by Budenz.

So, the Turkic front fought for the Turkic origin of Hungarians while the Ugric front

using 'scientific-looking weapons' insisted that the Turkish elements were only loan-words

in Hungarian.

At the time of the battle, many Hungarians rejected the possibility of a relationship

with poor people with a 'fish fat smell' and fought for the 'glorious Turkish origin'.

The battle got a sentimental taste from the Turkic front and for that reason it was easy

to win them from the Ugric front.

It's fine that ratio wins over sentiment in a scientific battle, however in this case

there was no ratio as we shall see.

It was widely believed that the existence of the Finno-Ugric family was proven beyond

doubt first.

Otto Donner's works gave rise to the Uralic family noticing relationship between the Samoyed

languages and the Finno-Ugric family.

In this way, the Uralic theory has arisen.

It is still believed that the languages of the Yugria area (Vogul or Mansi, Ostyak) and

Hungarian form the conventional Ugric node even if it is generally recognized that Hungarian

is radically different from the Ugric languages.

It is radically different in phonology, morphology, lexicon and syntax.

Hungarian is different in every aspect of the language!

Can the winner Ugric front not see it?

Of course, they can!

But where is it written that the truth must be the winner?

The winner is the more politically correct one, the convenient one, not the true one.

The truth is that Budenz has not claimed there is no genetic relationship between Hungarian

and Turkic.

He imagined a big picture: a Ural-Altaic language family.

He simply argued that Hungarian was more closely related to the Ugric node, instead of to the

Altaic languages.

However, this view lost its validity in the modern theory and now the Uralic languages

are usually considered unrelated to the Altaic languages.

As one consequence, words of Turkic origin in Hungarian now are classified as loan-words

instead of cognates.

Budenz argued that most of the correspondences proposed by Vambery are wrong, but not all

of them.

But how did he make his judgement?

Unfortunately, no criteria has been found how Budenz decided whether a correspondence

was a cognate or a loan-word.

Moreover, many words in the Budenz corpus for which he tried to find Finnic or Ugric

parallels, are wrong according to the Uralic Etymological Dictionary (UEW).

In addition, Budenz didn't specify the sound-rules which he worked with to establish the Hungarian/Ugric

correspondences.

He often cheated a little bit to win the battle: he stretched the meanings of some words and

gave a set of parallels without any reasonable explanation in order to get the desired correspondence.

On the contrary, the Hungarian-Turkic parallels have basically the same meaning and similar

sound-shape.

81% of his correspondences are not considered valid any more in the modern literature.

This is how the Finno-Ugric and Uralic theory was established.

It was founded on a very weak basis, but it is still alive and it is still believed that

it was well-founded.

Isn't it time to demolish it and build a new one on a strong basis?
