How DOES the EU Function? - Duration: 7:50.
Do you KNOW how the EU is governed?
What are the important institutions?
How they work together?
You probably only have a vague idea how it works, but probably know more about US politics
than about European politics.
Do you know who is the European president? Trick question!
There are around a dozen.
This episode will look at how the European government works but also show many of its
flaws.
This is not to say that the EU is necessarily ruled poorly, but I will address many of the
concerns average citizens have.
And I think we can ALL agree that governments could be run more efficiently in general.
Alright, so let's start at the top.
First off: The European Council.
It is comprised of the 28 chancellors, presidents, and prime ministers of the European member
states.
At the council the European leaders meet 4 times per year to define the EU's policy,
to push forward European integration, and to serve as an 'emergency brake' where
it can cancel EU plans if it convinces at least half the EU leaders to vote against
that plan.
So to whom does the European Council give direction?
To the European Commission.
The commission is responsible for drafting all the laws of the European Union.
It is comprised of 28 commissioners, one for each country, who are in charge of one aspect
of European law.
There is a commissioner of Transport, a commissioner of Regional Policy, a commissioner of Research,
Science, and Innovation, and so forth.
In this way, the Commission acts like a cabinet: It's led by a president, nominated by the
European Council and approved by the European Parliament.
The other 27 commissioners are chosen by each member country.
This way, every member state has 1/28th say in creating the laws of the European Union.
Okay, so what happens after the commission proposes a law?
There are two options.
First, if it concerns mostly policy within the European union then it gets send to the
EU parliament to vote on, if the majority votes in favour, the law is adopted.
The parliament functions much like a national parliament: there are political parties, the
people vote for them, and they pass laws.
So how are the seats in parliament determined?
Well, every member state gets an amount of seats depending on the population of that
country, with each country receiving at least 6 seats out of a total of 751 seats.
So when there are election, each country is assigned 6 seats.
The remining 583 are then divided depending on population.
Latvia, for example, has 2 million people out of a total European population of 508
million.
That's 0,4%, meaning 2 extra seats on top of their guaranteed 6.
This is done for every country and I'll leave this here so you can see how many seats
each country currently has.
During elections, you vote for your national party.
So let's say a Latvian party received 50% of the votes then they get 4 seats in the
European parliament.
These 4 don't sit alone but they form a party with likeminded parties from other countries.
I will leave this here if you're interested in the different EU parties and what they
stand for.
But what does the EU Parliament do?
The parliament sets the budget for the EU institutions every year, oversees the other
EU institution, and votes on laws.
But there is the catch.
[problem parliament-commission] So, the Commissions proposes a law, it sends that law to the parliament
and that parliament decides to either pass it or to send it back to the commission with
the adjustments they'd like to see.
This creates a strange distribution of power: the commission is the one who create laws
and parliament is the one who debates and votes on laws.
This is different from US or British politics: there you make a laws, defend your law in
parliament, and convince other parliamentarians to vote on your law.
This is one of the main reasons the EU is thought of as undemocratic: the commission
is selected by the member countries, not by the voters.
There are 28 commissioners.
So, if you're a Slovak then you didn't get a say in 27 out of the 28 commissioners.
Not to mention that 28 commissioners are too many to be effective.
And parliament continuously fails in bringing the Europeans closer to the European Union:
turnout in European elections is low and falling, and voters tend to decide on national, not
European issues.
Far from acting as a parliament that controls spending, it has often behaved more as a lobby
group whose main aim seems to be to spend more and to augment its own powers.
But it's not ALL bad.
For example, the commission is quite an efficient institution, employing only around 33,000
people, about the same amount as a largish local council in one of the member states.
And under the leadership of Jean-Claude Junker it has sharply reduced the amount of laws
it proposes.
And the EU parliamentarians are impressively well qualified for improving legislation and
questioning the EU commission.
It has passed many ground-breaking laws in the past such as reducing roaming charges,
passing legislation that sets the EU up as a global power, and taking steps towards more
gender equality in the EU.
Okay, so internal European matters it get send to parliament.
What if it's not?
Well, if it concerns foreign affairs or requires cooperation between the countries, then it
gets send to the Council of Ministers.
This is comprised of one minister from each EU country.
Depending on what they will vote on there are different ministers present.
If they have to vote on an agricultural law, there will only be agricultural ministers,
if they vote on matters of finance, there will be 28 finance minister, and so forth.
The council of ministers acts as a balance with the European parliament.
Where parliament is a purely European institution with European goals, the council of ministers
is comprised of people who have the best interest of their country in mind.
Like the parliament, they get to decide on the European budget.
The European Court of Auditors sees to it that the taxpayer's money is spent effectively
in the EU.
The European Court of Justice is the judicial arm of the European Union.
It is comprised of 28 judges, one from each of the member states.
Its role is to see to it that the EU laws are applied in all states and to settle legal
matters between institutions and countries.
It is the highest court in the EU. lastly there are the European Central Bank
and the Eurogroup, which we'll get to next episode.
The European parliament moves between Brussels and Strasbourg every month, costing 114 million
euros every year.
There is also the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of Regions.
They bring together trade union and civil representatives together for monthly meetings
to advise the council of ministers.
They cost about 200 million Euro ever year, but nobody would miss them if they were to
disappear tomorrow.
Lastly, all the institutions just mentioned are spread over Brussels, Luxembourg, Strasbourg,
and Frankfurt.
This was done to assure that not one country can take the lead in the EU by having all
the European institutions in one country.
But it also means that you can't communicate properly so EU officials have to move between
cities a lot.
And that is only inside the EU.
Then there are countries outside who want access to the vast EU market but don't want
to adhere to all EU legislation, notably fishing regulations for Norway and Iceland and Banking
regulations for Switzerland.
They are part of the European Economic Area and Schengen, meaning that they can trade
freely with the EU countries and you can move between them, never realizing you left the
EU.
But the countries don't have any say in their rules, meaning that if the Schengen
or EEA treaties are changed, they can either sign the treaty or leave.
So here you have it, a complete overview of the important institutions and how they work.
Next week we'll delve into the Euro and the Euro crisis.
It will be equally critical of the EU as this episode.

Corporate Media Is Giddy Over Prospect Of A War In Syria - Duration: 3:45.
In response to Donald Trump's decision to send five dozen half ton explosive tomahawk
missiles into the country in Syria to target their weapons facilities, a lot of people
left, right, and center have actually been applauding the president's decision.
We have democrats out there saying like, "Well, he should have gotten Congress approval, but
oh well.
Hey, bombs, that's fun.
Right?"
You know the group that is giddy over all this?
The one group that is salivating at the thought of another war?
The corporate controlled media.
On Thursday evening when these missiles were hitting, when we were killing soldiers in
Syria, Russian soldiers in Syria, civilians in Syria, the media was overjoyed.
The guests on Thursday evening and Friday were all talking about the fact that this
was a good idea.
"This was the right thing.
Assad was such a horrible guy that we needed to send bombs over there.
To hell with civilian casualties or the Russian casualties that happened, or any other casualties.
We've got to do this to send a message."
That's what they told us, "We had to send a message."
Do you think they got the message?
Do you think it matters to them?
Do you think suddenly they're going to stop being horrible human beings just because we
sent over a couple missiles?
Or, maybe do you think it's just going to piss them off and make them do even worse
things?
There are ways to diplomatically handle situations like this.
There are inter-governmental organizations designed to handle conflicts like this.
They might be a little slow, I'll give you that.
That's still a hell of a lot better than sending missiles over to another country regardless
of the death toll.
The corporate media doesn't care about that.
I mean listen, the Syrian Civil War has been going on for well over four years.
Four years this fighting has been going on.
They haven't devoted enough coverage to that.
They haven't been talking about all of the atrocities that have been committed in the
country of Syria, because it wasn't in their interest.
They can't sell a war unless we finally get the people to pay attention, and that's what
the attack earlier this week did.
It got everybody's attention.
We sent over some missiles, and now the corporate media's so excited because their defense contractor
advertisers are going to get more money from government contracts to make more of those
missiles and guns and tanks and bombs so we can send them over there.
The corporate media loves war, they always have and they always will.
The Iraq war was a huge rating boost for channels like CNN and FOX News.
MSNBC's also getting in on the action here with Syria.
They're bringing on people talking about the fact that this was a good decision, and we
may have to do it again if they keep doing bad stuff.
Ignoring the fact that we're doing just as bad stuff in other countries in the Middle
East.
That's the problem.
Right now we're only hearing the one side of the story.
We're only hearing the part of the story where the US comes in acting like a hero because
Assad killed children.
Well, we've been doing the same thing in the Middle East since 2002, and nobody's said
a freaking word about that.

My Father is Strange | 아버지가 이상해 – Ep.9 [ENG/IND/2017.04.08] - Duration: 1:06:24.
(Episode 9)
Excuse me.
Can we talk for a minute, sir?
I came here to make him my son,
and I say, "Can we talk, sir?"
What kind of father calls his son "Sir"?
Pull yourself together.
That young man is my son from now on.
He's my son!
We need to talk.
Junghui!
Give me a bit of your time.
I need to tell you something.
Who are you? Do you know me?
I don't know who you are.
So there's nothing I want to hear from you.
Please don't bother me again.
Who's that?
Oh...
I'll come back tomorrow.
Please let me have a bit of your time tomorrow.
Whatever. There's no need to get mad.
The fact that I'm getting mad makes me mad.
He has nothing to do with me.
Al, where are you? I'm home.
Oh, there you are.
Al, did you have a good day?
Give me a kiss.
Don't go away.
Why did you hide? Were you mad at me?
You look skinny. Taebu didn't feed you, did he?
What a jerk.
You want some food? huh?
Tell me.
Kiss.
Oh, you're back. I was cleaning up.
Gosh, I hope it wasn't too hard.
I'll do the rest, so you can go home.
It's okay. I'll finish this.
By the way, why do you go out every day?
I didn't say anything to Yeongsil
because you told me not to.
Well, there's something I must do.
I have to go out again tomorrow.
I know it's hard, but I need your help again.
Again? Sure...
Who's that?
He's back again?
If you're inside, can we please talk?
It'll only be a minute.
Oh, why didn't he leave?
You're inside, aren't you?
There's nobody here.
Wait...
Did he already go out?
Man, I'm hungry.
He must be gone.
I don't get this.
Why is he still there?
How annoying. I'm starving.
Geez, there's nothing to eat.
Ouch!
This is so annoying!
What now?
Darn it. Man, that hurts.
I can't believe how annoying he is.
What is it? I don't want to talk to you.
If you ring the bell again,
I'm going to call the guard. Okay?
Wait!
Hello? Is this the guard's office?
This is apartment number 202.
We don't allow salesmen in the building.
No, I'm not a salesman.
Please leave. Leave!
Okay. Just a second.
I'll leave. I will.
Hyeyeong,
give that to me. You should've asked me.
No, I'm almost done.
Dad, have a seat.
Junyeong, Miyeong, Rayeong, breakfast is ready!
I wondered for a second if hell froze over,
but it hasn't, apparently.
Hyeyeong made all these.
She wouldn't let me lift a finger.
Mom, you're recovering from a cold.
What's going on? Hyeyeong, are you feeling okay?
Huh? Is today mom and dad's wedding anniversary?
There's no need to go that far.
I used to make breakfast sometimes.
When?
Sit down and eat.
Dad, I'm late, so I'll just drink this juice.
Hyeyeong, aren't you running late, too?
I'm going to leave for work a little late today.
I just finished a case.
Try this egg I made.
Let me try the egg my eldest daughter made.
Here.
It's good. It's perfectly seasoned.
Smart people are good at cooking, too.
Oh, there you go again.
If frying eggs is cooking, mom's a chef.
Honey, did you see how she dragged me into it?
She did.
You're dissing me too, aren't you?
Mom, you kind of lost there.
I'll see you later. I'm late.
Mom, bye.
Be careful.
- Have a nice day. / - Okay.
- Have a nice day. / - Bye.
You have something to say, don't you?
You're very sharp, mom.
Let's eat first.
What is it?
Yeah, I'm curious, too.
What is it?
Well, for a while, commuting
has been too time-consuming and exhausting for me,
so I thought of getting an apartment near work.
But a few days ago, my friend asked me
to be her roommate.
She lives in an apartment in Gangnam alone,
but the rent went up so much
that it became unaffordable
and she asked me to share the burden.
There are two rooms, so there'll be no problem.
So you want to move out?
Yes.
Oh, but it's only during the week.
I'll come home on weekends.
So I won't be gone for good.
But you're still moving out.
What kind of friend?
A friend from college. You don't know her.
My friend's parents live in Seongnam.
So my friend had to move out because of work.
Right, it's a long commute.
It takes much more than an hour.
Wouldn't it be too much trouble for your friend?
But it was my friend who suggested it first.
Well, what do you think?
If it's just during the week, it might be fine.
Of course. On weekends, no matter what,
I'm coming home.
Well, to be honest, I would love to commute from home.
But to be realistic, it takes too much time to do it,
and I'm getting more and more work.
It's getting hard for me to handle.
Sleeping in the night duty office isn't easy.
And then I feel uncomfortable
and tired all day long the next day.
I understand what you mean.
I'll think about it, so you go to work.
Okay, dad.
Please think about it.
It'll be cold at night. Wear something warm.
Okay.
You're against it?
She asked me to think about it, so I'll think about it.
I'm going to work, too.
I said I'm pregnant.
Oh...
A restaurant on the first floor in Mokdong?
The rent must be pretty high.
I guess business is booming.
What am I going to do?
Why did I tell such a lie? Huh?
I wish I were dead.
Maybe I should just kill myself.
- Good morning. / - Good morning.
Are you feeling sick?
No.
Normcore is in right now,
so I tried it out.
But your signature look is the killer heels.
You must not be busy if you
have time to discuss my outfit.
You want more work?
I guess Junyeong is busy right now.
Should I check out how big the restaurant is?
Mokdong, Otosan Sushi.
Mokdong, Otosan Restaurant.
What's going on? I'm sure it's Otosan Sushi.
Is it not?
(Junyeong)
Your call is being forwarded to...
Junyeong, call me when you can.
Your father's restaurant is Otosan Sushi, right?
Junyeong.
Junyeong!
Hey!
Hey, why won't you answer me?
Hey, is something wrong?
Uncle...
What are you going to do?
There's only one way.
Hansu wouldn't kill you.
Just grit your teeth and tell him the truth.
What else could you do?
Your girlfriend said she wants to have it.
So you have to tell him.
Is that really the best way, uncle?
What if I told him after my exam
and after the baby is born...
You think that's possible?
No.
I'm actually relieved.
You can at least tell that's not possible.
Oh, why didn't you be more careful?
Why did you put yourself in such an awful situation?
No.
Gosh, my poor sister.
What did she do in her previous life
to deserve a little brother like me
on top of a son like you?
I'm sorry.
I can't help but think about Yeongsil today.
Why does your girlfriend want to have the baby?
What does she see in you?
Uncle, actually, Yuju thinks my father
runs a big Japanese restaurant in Mokdong.
She does?
What?
I didn't mean to lie to her.
It just came out the wrong way.
In Japan, they call rice rolls "sushi,"
and I didn't want to tell her he sells rice rolls.
I can't believe you!
Uncle, please don't add to my torment.
I already feel like dying.
Wait, stop making excuses and call her right now.
Call her and tell her the truth, okay?
She needs to have the facts
so she can make the right decision. Okay?
I know.
I think I should tell her,
but I can't bring myself to do it.
Hey!
Is that a good enough excuse not to tell her?
Call her right now.
Call her and ask her to meet so you can tell her.
- No, no, no. / - Hurry.
Uncle, I can't. I really can't.
Uncle, just a second. I can't do it.
(My Ju)
- Answer it. / - Shh.
Answer it right now.
No, I can't.
Your call is being forwarded to...
Byeon Junyeong,
are you ignoring my calls?
(Taebu)
Why won't he call me?
Did he change his schedule?
Mr. An isn't coming here?
Junghui will arrive in an hour.
Thank you.
What should I do?
There's nowhere to hide.
Junghui.
We're late. Mr. Kang is waiting.
It's okay.
If I arrive early, he'll only nag.
Wait, I have something to tell him.
Taebu, hurry up.
I can do this.
I can handle anything.
Hello, Mr. An.
How do you feel?
("Family-like Family," KBC 2TV Daily Drama)
No.
Mr. Kang, outside humanism or family story,
how about this? A bloody action story.
How about a movie like that?
If not, I think any other genre will be okay.
Read it.
The director is pretty good, and...
Even with Park Chanwook, I won't do a daily drama.
Hey!
If I were the writer or the director,
I wouldn't cast you for a daily drama.
Acting is really important in daily dramas.
You should be grateful you're getting offers.
Why are you so oblivious to your lack of talent?
Is it you can't realize it or you won't realize it?
Mr. Kang, how can you say that about your own artist?
So that's what this company thinks of me.
That's why you gave me a crappy employee like her
and treat me this way.
- An employee like her? / - The intern.
Why didn't you fire me?
You don't remember what she did to me?
And that apology letter.
She is really twisted inside.
- Fire her? / - Yes, how many times must I repeat that?
- Really? / - Really!
Okay.
I should send her to Jin Seongjun.
Seongjun is really short-staffed.
He is so busy these days.
Wait, why would you give him my employee?
You said you didn't want her.
Fire her. I didn't say to give her to Jin Seongjun.
You don't want her, right?
That's great.
Jin Seongjun really likes the new intern.
No, you can't do that.
Don't be unreasonable.
You're a 35-year-old, not a 35-month-old baby.
Fine. I'll keep her. I will.
I'll keep her!
Oh, boy...
Goodbye.
Did you have a nice talk?
Where are you going next?
- You. / - Yes?
I will make sure you quit of your own volition.
- Intern? / - Yes?
Do whatever it takes and make him review these.
Yes, sir.
You're getting in?
- Yes. / - Why?
Because I have to be with you all the time.
Okay. Then walk.
Oh, is it too far to walk?
Yes, though I don't know where you're going.
Then run.
Mr. An, I...
Hurry.
- I'll call you. / - Okay.
What a heartless jerk.
What a tenacious guy.
(Nam Taebu / Byeon Miyeong)
I'll give you
the notebook I kept for the past five years.
Inside are the records of everything on An Junghui,
his illness, romantic history, number of moles, etc.
Review them thoroughly and make use of them.
He was born in America.
He finally got what I meant.
Where are you?
At my office.
I'm drowning in files.
I'm getting some sunlight.
Did you tell them?
Yes, this morning.
So what did they say?
I think my mom's okay with it,
but from how my dad looked,
I expect some difficulties.
Try to convince him.
How? Tell him the truth?
How's work going, Nut?
We're out of seaweed.
Honey, do you have some time?
I got some good pears.
Try it. It's like sugar.
It is. It's really sweet.
The price was even sweeter. 5 for $10.
I got some for my mom, too.
Did you think about it? About Hyeyeong.
I can't say yes.
The commute may be hard,
but it takes a bit over an hour.
It's actually harder on Miyeong.
Hyeyeong's been taking the subway for three years.
Miyeong just started.
She doesn't take the subway every day.
You give her a ride often enough.
When she gets married, she will move out.
So why does she have to do it so soon?
Many people do it before they get married.
They have this "Kangaroo generation"
where grownups don't leave their parents,
which is a bigger problem now.
So you're saying yes?
Yes, I'm saying yes.
My heart breaks whenever I see her
coming home every two or three days
looking like blanched spinach.
If she moves out, she'll get enough sleep.
She'll be here on weekends, so it's not permanent.
But she'd still be moving out.
And eating is just as important as sleeping.
She doesn't eat much even when we nag her,
so what will she do when she moves out?
Is it because you're sad?
I'm not sad.
I'm worried because it's not that safe.
How can anyone let their daughter move out?
I can't understand you.
Are you sick of our children?
Wait, what... That's not true.
That's not fair.
How can it be so easy for you?
What do you want to do?
Huh?
Hold a family meeting?
Okay, let's do that.
Fine. Before I forget.
Announcement.
There's a family meeting tonight.
Come home before nine o'clock.
Agenda is about Byeon Hyeyeong moving out.
And Byeon Rayeong,
you haven't wired this month's rent.
Do it.
I'm going down.
What about the pear?
Good luck.
- Yeongsik. / - Hi, Yeongsil.
You didn't go to work today?
Well, I had a shoot outside, and I dropped by.
Mom is home, right?
- I got you some fruits. / - Okay.
Well, Yeongsil, did anything happen?
Anything? Like what?
Well, I was just thinking...
Remember what you said after I got conned?
That you never know what might happen
and that you have no control over your life.
So Yeongsil, cheer up, no matter what happens.
What's wrong with you?
Did you get into trouble again?
No, I didn't.
I was just thinking about the old days.
Yeongsil, you know I love and respect you, right?
So keep your chin up. You've got this.
Yeongsil.
Yeongsil, I'll see you later.
Good luck.
What the...
It's delicious.
Oh, wow.
It's tiny, but it looks delicious.
- Right? / - Yes.
I thought of you, so I got a lot.
- You did? / - Yes.
How's your back? Is it really okay?
Yes, it's fine.
It hurt really badly that day,
but after I got some sleep, I felt fine.
By the way, did she call you after that?
Of course.
I swept the hallway and the steps this morning.
I've never met anyone like her.
Here.
Whoa, it's sweet.
It's delicious. You have a bite, too.
Right? Enjoy.
Bomi, you try some, too.
It's yummy.
It's really sweet.
This will take care of mother's snacks for a while.
Whoa, really?
If someone overheard, they'd think you've been
getting me all kinds of snacks.
Geez, mom, some might think
Bomi never gets you any snacks.
Thank you, Yeongsil.
Bomi, is anything wrong?
Like what?
Nothing.
Just asking.
Of course everything's fine.
Nothing's wrong with you, right?
Like what?
Nothing. Just asking.
Okay.
(Understanding Soccer Strategies - Sports Grad School)
Why do you look so scared?
I'm the only one who knows about this place.
What are you doing here?
To make plans. Do you have any clothes?
Plans? Clothes?
What are you doing?
I don't see any suits...
Wait, all you have are sweats?
Wait, I just wanted to...
What is it you want to say?
Like talking about the wedding tomorrow
and checking on the dress code?
Make it sound more organized.
Number 1,
act like you're really in love with me.
Number 2, you don't need a luxury brand suit,
but wear something close to it.
Your outer cover's fine,
so it just needs to look expensive.
What's outer cover?
It's this.
Outer cover. Appearance.
How you look.
I don't have anything that looks expensive.
The director's number is...
At 1:30...
I'll see you in front of Seongsim Convention.
Sure.
What? Byeon Hyeyeong's moving out?
Did you wire the money, Rayeong?
Not yet. I'll do it tomorrow.
But no matter how hard I think about, $150 to me...
Junyeong's here.
Honey, everyone's here.
Okay.
As your mom said in the text,
Hyeyeong wants to move in with her friend,
who lives in an apartment in Gangnam.
And I wanted to hear what you thought.
Lucky you, Hyeyeong.
What kind of friend?
A friend from my college club.
It'll be good for both of us.
My friend can't afford the rent,
and I can't handle the commute.
That's so great.
You can move out because you can afford it.
We haven't decided on it yet.
I say yes.
The commute is really hard.
And it takes a really long time.
One question.
Just because she's moving out, we won't have to
pay more rent, do we?
No.
Then I say yes. And I'm taking her room.
No.
I'll be coming home on weekends.
How can you do that?
We have to leave it empty
because you'll use it two days a week?
Mom, dad, is that fair?
Be quiet.
We haven't decided if she can move out yet.
I mean, she's being really selfish.
It's evil to keep it just for two days a week.
I say no.
Fine. You can take the room.
I'll sleep with Miyeong on weekends.
And I want to borrow your bag for a day.
Just say no.
I say no.
I say no, too.
It's dangerous for a girl to move out on her own.
What are you talking about?
It's because I'm your big brother.
It's too dangerous for my little sister.
You're no help at all.
I heard that.
I say yes.
- You get no vote. / - Why?
I'm a member of this family, so I get a vote.
The votes weren't cast in secret,
but according to universal suffrage,
I have the right to vote, too.
The candidates of the presidential election
and legislative election vote, too,
because they are both candidates and voters.
What she says is right,
but don't you want to smack her when you hear it?
Honey, what do we do?
She's right. Let her vote.
That's two to two.
Mom, dad, how about you?
I, well...
We're married, so we're one.
I'll go with dad's decision.
That means it's up to dad.
How about you, dad?
I say no.
Why?
What do you mean, why?
As a father, I'm worried and I feel uncomfortable.
We'll forget about you moving out.
Go.
You should've been nicer.
She must be upset.
Is your family meeting over?
It is.
Dad was adamant, so I can't move out.
Huh? What do we do, then?
I don't know.
I'm not myself because of the shock.
I'm regretting not lending my bag to Rayeong.
Rayeong said no?
Why didn't you lend it to her?
Lending a bag isn't a big deal.
Don't add to my troubles.
I'm already feeling a wave of deep regret and anger.
Teehee, relax.
Nut, you're dying to move in with me, aren't you?
Goodbye.
Are you that sad?
About letting Hyeyeong move out?
I'm not sad. Stop saying that.
It's because I'm worried.
I can see it on your face.
You'll be sad if you let her move out,
but now that you've said no,
your heart breaks since you're making her suffer.
That's not it.
Go to sleep. I'm tired, too.
If you're that sad, how will you let her get married?
You're going to live with her forever?
Fine. I'll stop talking.
Gosh, you didn't have to turn your back to me.
She's not 14 or 24.
She's 34 years old.
So how can you still dote on her like that?
I wonder if Hyeyeong knows
how much her dad loves her.
I'm going to sleep.
Goodnight, okay?
Oto... Otosan Sushi.
(No result)
How weird.
(Junyeong)
What is he trying to do?
Otosan Sushi, and he said something else.
O-Otosan Sushi.
It means "dad's sushi," "dad's restaurant."
Something like that.
Oh!
(Mokdong, Dad's Restaurant)
(Mokdong, Dad's Food (Dad's Restaurant) Disappointed)
(Mouth-watering / The rice rolls are the best!)
They are closing it down at the end of this week.
They won't be in Mokdong anymore,
but they are reopening in Suwon as Dad's Snack Bar.
Suwon, Dad's Snack Bar?
(Mr. An - 2 new messages)
Mr. An...
Get me snailfish soup from Jeil Diner in Sokcho.
Don't forget to take a photo.
Snailfish soup?
Sokcho?
What time is it?
It's only 5 a.m.
Sokcho.
What is it?
Are you really disappointed?
Because we won't let you move out?
I'm not disappointed.
I just don't understand.
It's only during the week when I go to work,
so why won't you let me do it?
I sleep in the night duty office all the time anyway.
You really don't get it?
No, I don't. At all.
Gosh, you're not so smart after all.
Your dad's sad, that's why.
He doesn't want to because you're his heart.
Well, I'm not saying I'm moving out for good.
I said I'll come home on weekends.
But that's how us parents feel.
Don't you remember?
When you got into college,
after we dropped you off at your dorm, he cried.
Your dad is a very doting father.
And he loves you most of all.
The day you were born,
he couldn't even hold you because
he was so afraid he might hurt you
and just cried like a baby.
I wish you could see that.
After you were born, I moved down the hierarchy from
number 1, where even Junyeong couldn't oust me from.
Do you get it now?
My dense daughter?
I'm saying...
I didn't ask him to love me so much.
What brings you here?
Dad.
Want to go out with me tonight?
I get off work at 6 o'clock.
Why? To talk about you moving out?
But we finished the discussion last night.
No, it's not about that.
I'm busy today.
And once again, you can't move out.
I said it's not about that.
Then I'm glad.
It's late. Go to work.
I'm busy.
I'll see you later.
(Sokcho, 5km)
Oh, I'm almost there. Almost.
Where is it?
Maybe I should just catch one and make it.
(Jeil Restaurant, Snailfish Soup)
Oh! Jeil Restaurant!
Give me lots. Fill it up.
Thank you.
Grandmother, I'm sorry, but...
One, two, three.
Hi, Mr. An.
I'm back from Sokcho.
I brought the snailfish soup.
Should I bring it up?
What took you so long?
You eat it.
H-Hello?
Ms. An? Hel...
What should I do now?
Go wait at the office.
Sure. Call me whenever.
Let's see how long you'll last.
Wait, how did she get back so soon?
Did she really go to Sokcho?
What? She really did.
Maybe I should ask for the conger eel in Busan.
Man, I'm bored.
How do you like it?
I heard you like this kind of food,
so I did some searching.
It's nice.
You eat, too. Why aren't you eating?
I am eating.
Father.
Can't you be a bit nicer to mom?
I think she's been feeling really lonely lately.
Your mom's always lonely.
She's been saying she's lonely all her life.
That's all because of you.
You're so indifferent to her.
She's not helping the situation.
Your mom and I are incompatible.
We have nothing in common.
But mom at least tries to make an effort.
You never do.
Isn't that your duty as someone's spouse?
So why don't you try to make an effort
to understand mom?
If you can't understand, try to memorize.
You love to study, so try to study, research
and analyze mom.
Why should I spend my precious time on that?
I don't want to waste my life away.
But father...
Did your mom put you up to this?
Well... Did you know that
two days from now is mom's cafe's grand opening?
Everything else aside, please go there with
a plant that says "Happy Grand Opening."
Okay?
Eat.
(Resume)
Working at a cafe isn't hard.
It's a cafe, so make coffee, serve them,
do the dishes and clean the cafe.
I hate anything dirty, so make sure you clean well.
And fill the dessert display case.
And help me open the cafe.
Oh, and help me with the bookkeeping on weekends.
That's all.
So? Can you do it?
No.
- Good luck. / - Wait.
Wait... Look here...
I am clean-cut,
responsible and hard-working.
Okay, but...
We are looking for
a clean-cut female part-timer.
A girl?
Ouch, my back.
Can you make coffee?
What?
Can you make coffee?
Of course.
In my youth,
I made coffee for everyone in town.
But grandmother, you know what?
Didn't you see this?
Right here. There's an age limit.
This is a place for young people.
I'm sorry.
Well you should've told me earlier!
Man...
Ouch... I came all the way here.
We've never met before, so how could I tell you?
Man!
Goodness, hiring a part-timer is so hard.
This is bad. The grand opening is in two days.
Did you enjoy your lunch?
- Jeonghwan. / - Yes?
The director wants to see you.
He does?
Why?
I don't know.
Okay.
Did you ask for me?
Yes.
The thing is, for the new season,
we're canceling Entertainment Today.
What? Cancel?
Who cancels their signature show?
Who do you think is responsible for
tanking the ratings of the signature show?
I told you!
The show's format is old,
so the drop couldn't be avoided.
That's why we're canceling it.
Why do you always turn to the numbers?
Today's Entertainment is...
We're losing the advertisers and have no choice.
Can you make a show with no advertisers?
This week's shoot is the last one.
Wrap it up and wait for the next assignment.
Where is he? What if he doesn't show?
How petty of him.
Wow, his outer cover is so...
You're here. Let's go.
We're lovers.
Your expression.
With love in your eyes.
Let's go.
Friends of the groom and bride, give me some space.
Okay.
Look this way.
Good.
Congratulations on your wedding.
You're really here.
Of course.
You sent me an invitation, so I had to come.
I didn't expect you to show up.
Now that you're here, don't forget the cash gift.
You and I had a very special relationship.
Uh, well... Right.
Say hello.
You know her, don't you? My wife.
Congratulations. You're beautiful.
You gained weight. Is it because of the breakup?
What do you mean?
It's not like that.
I can tell it's from drinking too much.
All you had to offer was your body.
What a shame.
You're standing too close to my girlfriend.
He's your boyfriend?
Y-Yes. My boyfriend.
Congratulations on your wedding.
But please don't ever be so rude
to my girlfriend again.
And don't ever contact her again.
Alright, sure.
Shall we go, Rayeong?
Yes.
Wow, you are a beautiful couple.
Why don't you take a photo with them?
Here we go.
Smile.
One, two, three.
Dad?
You said you were finishing early, didn't you?
This isn't that bad.
What are you doing here?
Well...
I had an errand to run,
and I thought I might wait for you.
Let's go.
Is that friend a very close friend?
Of course.
That's why I thought I'd do it.
You won't be intruding, will you?
I'll be paying rent, too.
Okay. Go ahead and do it.
Move out.
Dad?
But you must come home on weekends.
Of course.
It was because I was sad.
I never even thought about it before.
That you would move out before getting married...
You were upset, weren't you?
No.
But you must eat every meal.
Even when you're busy,
you must have a smoothie or rice cakes for breakfast.
Oh, dad.
I'm not a child.
You are.
Until the day you grow old and die,
to your mom and me, you're all children.
Let's go.
Dad!
I will come home on weekends.
(Dad's Snack Bar)
- The spicy rice cakes are good. / - It is.
Should we get some tomorrow, too?
Okay.
Pick up.
Byeon Junyeong, pick up.
Y-Yuju.
H-How did you find out?
Is this Otosan Sushi?
No, actually...
Then what's this?
Actually...
What happened was...
Is this your father's restaurant?
Otosan Sushi?
Yes.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
It's the truth. Please believe me.
I wasn't intentionally deceiving you.
I just wanted to make a good impression.
I thought you'd think very little of me
if I told you it was a rice roll place.
You think I'm a joke?
No, Yuju.
How could I think you're a joke?
Yuju...
Otosan Sushi?
This is Otosan Sushi?
Wait...
How dare you do this to me?
Yuju, don't throw that, it's dangerous!
How dare you do this to me?
What am I going to do now?
Why did you do it?
Why did you lie to me? Why?
What Otosan Sushi?
What Otosan Sushi?
How dare you do this to me?
If I ever see you again,
I will kill you.
Yuju...
Junyeong? Junyeong!
What...
What happened? Huh?
Junghui, you've been home all this time?
Have you eaten anything?
You didn't starve yourself, did you?
An actor must watch his health.
Be quiet and chop the cabbage.
Al is hungry.
Should we go on a trip next week?
I have nothing on my schedule.
But I do.
How can you? When I don't have anything?
I do.
There are the auditions for the new talents,
and I have meetings about it.
Why are you involved in new talents?
Junghui.
I've been promoted.
I'm the team leader of the New Talents Team.
What are you saying?
Who told you to get promoted?
What about me?
The intern will be in charge of
dealing with your business.
No!
Why do you hate that intern so much?
She did... Make a few mistakes,
but she's hard-working and sincere.
I just hate everything about her.
I hate how she wears round glasses like yours.
And I hate the fact her last name is Byeon.
What kind of last name is Byeon?
Oh... Junghui, that's discrimination.
Why is that?
Why are you making me look like a bad man?
It is discrimination.
Discrimination of last name.
Whatever.
But don't step on my foot.
What? I'm not doing that.
Hey!
You son of a!
- Wait. / - Go.
Junghui, we're supposed to have dinner.
Go. You scared Al.
He needs to recover psychologically.
This is so annoying.
Did you leave something behind?
What did you leave...
You were home.
Let that go.
Let's talk.
I said let that go.
I have something to tell you.
Are you kidding me?
I told you I don't want to hear anything.
Let go.
I said let go.
You want me to push you?
I said let go!
Come in.
I said come in. Hurry.
Okay. Let's hear it.
Go ahead and talk.
After she leaves,
we won't ever get to live with her again.
Welcome to our new secret home.
Jeonghwan's show got canceled.
I guess Jeonghwan never tells you anything.
Whatever it is, tell me first.
May I put my hand on your body?
I studied a lot about you, Mr. An.
You didn't get any work done, right?
This is all natural.
Isn't this flirting?
I will make you mine.
Park Cheolsu.
It looked like you were getting take-out.
This would be better than them.
I'm sorry. You're really disappointed, aren't you?
Yuju, wake up.
Wake up!

Wayne Dyer: What are The Best Ways to Make Your Life Easier ( Wayne Dyer Movitation ) - Duration: 18:57.
In front of my place on Maui there is a
beautiful set of 11 or 12 palm trees and
these are like 30 40 50 feet tall
they've been there for I don't know how
long decades and when the winds come and
when the storms come the storms will
blow them over there they are watch and
this is amazing elastic things I learned
so much from these things I go out there
when I was when I did this when I wrote
the essay in the book on the verse 73 I
just went out there with the palm trees
and I would just commune with these palm
trees and they go all the way and then
they come all the way back that's a
symbol for how we need to think in our
own lives in verse 73 it says it is
heavens way to conquer without striving
it does not ask yet it is supplied with
all that it needs it does not hurry yet
it completes everything on time one of
my favorite lines from the Dow when our
favorite beliefs from the dow is this
that you're doing nothing all of you
you're doing nothing you're just being
done just like you were the first nine
months of your life you think you're out
there and you're making this happen and
you're making that happen and you've got
all these rigid things and you have to
apply your life this way you're not
doing anything any more than you were
having your fingernails show up when
they were supposed to and look at you
look at all of you look around you know
it's like you know what held it in
yesterday hit huh
I don't know I'm not doing anything they
fall out and that they don't fall out
and no matter how hard I tried to keep
him in there finally my kids said give
it up give it up so I was over in
England and they told me that I couldn't
take my shampoo bottles on the plane and
there's nothing you can do about it I
said yes there is I'll just shave my
head I no longer need shampoo ok so we
want to move from stiffness to
flexibility the next thought that I'd
like to see us change that the Dow
taught me so much was living by
interfering to shift that to living by
not interfering you know that every one
of your children have the anchor of the
universe located within them and that
khalil gibran this is a paraphrase he
said your children are not your children
they are the products of life's longing
for itself they come through you but not
for you they're not there for you so
what are you doing interfering in their
lives now i'm not talking about letting
them play out in the traffic or play at
the edge of a swimming pool if they
don't know how to swim i'm talking about
that I'm talking about I called this
when I was when I was working on this
and living this and practicing this for
that full year of 2006 the bite your
tongue zip your lips verses of the doll
verse 29 of the Dow do you think you can
take over the universe and improve it I
do not believe it can be done everything
under heaven is a sacred vessel and
cannot be controlled trying to control
leads to ruin trying to grasp we lose
allow your life to unfold naturally
allow other people's lives to unfold
naturally as well we have parents I see
them a lot they're called helicopter
because they're always hovering there
hovering over their kids and they're
telling them what to do and what not to
do in it my son came over from England
my son Shane and he was going to get
ready to go to college go to college in
America and my wife said to me so you're
going to take him and show him how about
registration right I said oh yeah i'll
be doing that she said well make sure
that you helped him because he doesn't
know have any idea how to register at
the schools great big school of
thousands of people I said yeah and I do
right I would know how to register kids
at school yeah and so a shame got in the
car and I said it's all going to be fine
you all be fine and we drive over to the
campus and I drop them off when i had my
tennis racket in the back and he said
where you're going i said well i'm a
profit i said i get paid by the thought
I have a tennis match and then I have to
walk on the beach so that I could paid
but he said but what about the
registration is it and while the
registration I said you'll do a lot like
I did when I learned to register what do
you mean I said you'll just go up to the
people and say where is registration and
they'll say it's over there where all of
those people are all lined up if I
remember those days and a college of
40,000 students or so finding out on a
register Tracy did I take you to
register honey now so he said you mean
you this guy said yeah you just go
that's what you want daddy to walk with
you over and take you to graduate you're
18 years old and you want daddy to
register you y'all know I wouldn't want
that
so we got home at the end of the the end
of the evening when that was when i get
back home and my wife had said to me she
said did you help Shane at registration
all I said I gave him so much help
probably the most help he ever had in
his life I taught him how to do things
for himself and so that I wouldn't have
to be interfering and hovering over and
figuring it all out for them my children
know that when their science project
comes up that I'm there for consultation
but I pass science I got through that
myself and you'll be doing your own
science project if I can help you I'll
be happy to help you but I'm not going
to be getting the glue and figuring out
how to make a time clock and all that I
should you know just just look at a
clock that's how you tell time for me
whatever it might be and and it's not an
uncaring and it's not a callous attitude
at all it's an awareness that your
children have the anchor of the universe
located within them that's what Lao Tzu
said now my dear friend who I love so
much she's right here in the audience
Kerry right there carry on it's from
Molly she has two beautiful little
daughter and she asked me if I would
watch them one afternoon when my
grandson Carter was visiting I said I'd
be happy to watch them she says but you
don't understand I mean they're gonna
they're going to do this and they're
gonna do that I said you just go off and
she was studying for an exam I said you
go study do whatever you have to do I
can handle three little kids out at the
swimming pool for three or four hours I
can handle that so she went off very
nervous gave me list told me what to do
what they might say what they might not
say then if she says no Kylie says this
you tell Colleen if my lease is hos
Kylie Kylie and Carter huh
so they go out there and right here
there's a little pool over here little
swimming pool and I watch them over in
the swimming pool and Kylie takes the
water and splashes my grandson a garter
and splashes kamaole and Kylie comes
over to me and runs over within two
minutes says Kylie splurged Smith of
course I'm working on the dot
non-interference I said splashing honey
is in the way of things when you're near
water splashing will take place she said
yeah but but she splashed me I said
you'll probably work this out this will
all be fine she stood there for the
longest time was a little lip and so on
and finally she realized she wasn't
getting anywhere with me she went back
before you know it one of them had taken
now kylie and kylie are teaming up
against Carter then they pushed them
under or whatever now one of them is
five and one of them is four and one of
them is seven or eight and Carter comes
running over fast as he can run zone he
calls me bombuh I'm grandpa mom pop
bumper bumper Miley Miley pushed me
under the water I said Carter I'm a
Taoist master
but bomba bomba you pushed me she put me
under us and you'll just have to work
this one out there I'm a Taoist mess
this went on all for the for the first
hour or so but I noticed as I was less
interfering and less interfering that
they were working it out they tried
again after a few times they come over
and they wanted this and they'd want to
employ someone of it but each time when
I let them know that I was watching and
making sure they were safe but I wasn't
going to interfere wasn't going to
resolve it i wasn't going to settle
their disputes for them i wasn't going
to be a helicopter parent even for an
afternoon and the way that it was
resolved itself with they had the anchor
of the universe with is no they have a
nature they know what to do one of my
favorite things always to say to my
children when there's a conflict is you
know what the right thing to do is what
do you think you know you have it in
your heart you are a divine being they
all know that I've said those words to
them over and over again you'll figure
it out you'll work it out now that not
I'm going to interfere I'm going to tell
them what to do you can practice this so
many places so many ways in your life
particularly as parents even in business
it's very important in businesses to
allow the people to say at the end of
the day right out of the Dow oh we did
that ourselves we did it ourselves in
the Dow it says there's a time for
everything and everything in its time
there's a time for everything listen to
this there's a time for being a head and
a time for being at peace there's a time
for being in motion and a time for being
at rest there's a time for being
vigorous and a time for being exhausted
and in the Bible to everything there is
a season a time for every purpose under
the Sun I practice this was so helpful
to me particularly as I do my yoga
practice they're my other practice it's
there are some very exhausting postures
I do this become hot yoga all right so
it's 105 or between 105 and 110 49
and there's one that I used to hate it's
called triangle you know and so you put
your foot out here and then you do this
and then you get yourself up and you go
all the way down and you get yourself in
balance like here so your bounce balance
down and you take your arms out here and
then you take these like this and it's
105 degrees and there you take one and
you're looking up here at your arm your
look at you look at you look and then
you bring it back and it lasts a full
minute and I used to just wait for that
minute to be over like that when are
they going to bring me on this pasta or
so exhaust I started practicing what the
doubt teaches and I remember there's a
time for being exhausted there's a time
for that and as I part to Center to end
there's a time for being at rest and
it's coming hopefully soon but in your
life in your life there's an awareness
that there is a time for all the things
that are go on that you think shouldn't
be happening in the Dow it says that
hidden in all misfortune is good fortune
hidden in the misfortune that you have
is good portion because no storm can
last forever even nature cannot create a
storm that lasts forever ultimately
hidden within every storm is calmness
hidden within every flood is drought and
dryness hidden within all of the storms
of your life is the piece that you
desire and it leans on you if you stop
telling yourself and just let yourself
go with it to be at harmony with it
rather than fine you can see why this is
called the wisest book ever written and
we're just touching on it here just
touching on this lao-tzu was green
before Eleanor
he was this is verse 39 of the doubt
attained when man interferes with the
doll the sky becomes filthy the earth
becomes depleted the equilibrium
crumbles creatures become extinct
therefore nobility is rooted in humility
finally I'd like to say to you and
understanding this idea of the dial is
to take time yourself for being in
nature take an hour a day every day of
your life take an hour a day no matter
how busy you are no matter what
scheduling that you have to get out in
nature walk barefoot on the grass walk
there is one of the great ways to
overcome an inability to sleep at night
just go out when you can't sleep and
just walk on the grass walk on the earth
and reconnect yourself now go out and be
with the tree and look at what you can
learn from nature look at these trees
look at these animals you can study you
look at that look at me you can study a
flower like that that it's so
magnificent as its unfolding that's an
actual photograph of this thing growing
and unfolding there you'll be with that
you have much to learn from nature from
water from the sky from the winds from
the trees from the bird looks the more
you do it the more you see yourself in
all of them the more you'll feel
yourself as a connected being living the
doll another thought to change to change
from thinking big to thinking small it's
so much of the Dow has in it statements
that seems so paradoxical and so
confusing to us more is less less is
more think small and get great things
done accomplish great things listen to
verse 64 of a doubt attain a tree that
fills a man's embrace grow
from a seedling a tower nine stories
high starts with one brick and here's
the most famous line out of a job a
journey of a thousand miles begins with
what one first step okay so today I can
stand up here on this stage in this
beautiful sacred place in this beautiful
yin-yang symbol on this incredibly
beautiful set that feels so much like
nature and I can say to you that in a
very short time this year I will have
completed 20 years without taking a
drink of alcohol 20 years thank you
now that's big that's big because I
drank every day not to get drunk but I
drank every day two or three beers every
evening after running and it was like I
couldn't remember a day when I hadn't
hacked I thought back ten years while I
couldn't think of a day not one day in
the previous decade or two that I had
not had a beer or several beers so
that's me and if I would have tried if
I'd have said to myself 20 years ago
Wayne you're going to quit drinking for
the next 20 years I would have gone
immediately and had a drink because it's
just too big isn't it it's just too big
you don't do big things you do small
things and thus accomplish great things
it's a very important distinction to
make whatever it is that you would like
to create or contribute or become in
your life take one step how did I let
drinking go for 20 years and I don't
even know about tomorrow I never think
about tomorrow and what I'm going to
have a drink all I know for sure is that
this won't be the day I do it one day at
a time that's how you overcome anything
called an addiction in your life you
take it you reconnect yourself to the
source from which you came which is a
source of what well-being isn't it and
you get back and return get on the
return trip and say I am connected to
well-being and I'll do this one day one
hour one minute one second if I have two
at a time and when you do it i mean it's
behind in all of the programs for
overcoming addictions and all of the
work of bill w all of the work of
Alcoholics Anonymous all of the work of
any kind of addictions it isn't just
alcohol it can be food it can be the
addiction to your email it can be
addiction to work it can be addiction to
so many things
so many people find that they can't get
past and to move themselves into a place
where I think small I've ran seven
marathons in my running years and about
the 22nd or 23rd mile you begin to ask
yourself about your sanity and what am I
doing here and my body is breaking down
but the way that you finish the marathon
is not by saying I'm going to run 26
miles you don't do that especially when
you still got five or six to go you just
say to yourself can I put my foot in
front of the next one can I take one
step at a time can I do it one step at a
time and before you know it you've
accomplished great things

DBH #1:Welcome to Carmel - Duration: 26:36.
Welcome to Carmel and welcome back for those of you who are following our series.
We are going to have a little bit of an introduction here to a new numbering system because frankly
it's driving Sep and I nuts to keep track of all the videos.
So, this will be number 1, although we've already done several videos without number.
So, this will be number 1…
I want you to put on your Catholic imagination.
This is about 'Welcome to Carmel' and we are going to be looking at creation and
seeing the grandeur of God, the grandeur of God in creation and we are going to talk about
Catholic spirituality, prayer, but we are going to start out universal.
We are going to start out with the experience of the world coming in and I'm going to
need some help; I want you to know that I'm not goi ng to make a very strong effort in
this 'Welcome to Carmel' Series to not giving you my opinion, unless I draw attention
to that and say, "This I my opinion, this is what my witness, this is what I've seen
or heard" Instead I'm going to give you what has been handed on to me and it's a
revelation, what my teachers are received from others and there will be sources.
So, 1.
I will give you what I've received, I will pass it on; 2.
I will try to stay out of the swamp land of contention to keep you on the high road where
what we say, nobody really want to disputes this, .
For example, the world is round, it's not flat, most people don't dispute that.
So, we're going to keep you away from contention and in fights, the swamp land, keep you in
the high ground because this is vulnerable time.
You are just coming to find out and you are struggling, is God in your life? should He
be in your life?
Are you drawing close to God?
What is your niche?
Where is it at?
And so, I want you to understand that.
1.
It's not my opinion; 2.
We are going to stay away from contention; we are going to stay in what we call the area
of high ground, is that making sense Sep?
Okay Now, this is tape 1, you are going to put
that imagination and I'm going to be giving you that point of view, for what we call the
traditional wisdom of mankind.
Traditional wisdom of humanity, humankind, that goes back to basic that God exist and
we exist and we are responding to Him.
But, even for nonbelievers anyone can come to these tapes and began to observe us, study
us, it's okay, we are not going to be offended.
So, leave your comments below, don't forget to subscribe and if you like what we are doing
like it.
But again, this is the introductory, I cannot emphasize this enough that, I don't want,
I want what you get here to opened your mind and I want that mind to be formed.
I just don't want to stuff you like sausage with ideas, okay?
I want you to process of thinking and there's a reason for that.
Other people can open your mind at a place of the map of knowledge, move you in that
map, and then reclose your mind, put you where they want you to; very manipulative, you can
be opened to manipulation, you are susceptible to that and so you have dignity, I want to
offer you, I don't want to steam roll, I want to offer you, a point of view, I want
to hand on to you, witness to you what I have received and if you choose, if you choose.
But, so there is a thing called Spiritual geography, and that's the formation of your
mind, and I, I can't take credit for that.
This is, we will be using different tools.
This is Garrigou-Lagrange and actually the great Saint, Catholic tradition – John Paul II
did a doctoral dissertation.
This is one of the men that I understand was a greater on that doctoral dissertation and
he says it best' there's 2 Volume book; We need to close in or can you read that Sep?
You need to come in closer?
Like that?
"Yeah, like that" Is that good?
"Yes" Okay we got, that is my manager there.
I will give some concepts on your map of knowledge; there is geography, your point of origin,
your point of destination, and the via – the way you're going to get there.
I'm not seeking to accumulate knowledge for you and you to accumulate knowledge.
But instead, with this information to form your mind for acting, to form your mind for
acting, so that you can choose, you can decide, for yourself and be sure that, to be a son
or daughter of God is one of the most worthiest ambitions of your soul.
Isn't that right Sep?
A child of God, okay?
So, these are some things that motivate us.
So, we have one of our tools here. I don't want to say he's like boss.
But, he's like an older brother, a big brother that's gone before us, and has accumulated
a lot of knowledge.
So, this is a professor in Rome who has deceased, you can pray for him for.
Father Garrigou-Lagrange, a Dominican.
Now, the concepts in this spiritual geography, forming your mind, think like this, and I
think it will go well.
This is going to be a little bit of longer tape and these concepts will be baby concepts.
But, think of it in terms of maps.
We are going to have map and you're going to have a compass and there is going to be
points on that map: North, South, East, and West, that's all and you are all familiar
with a map, you are all familiar with the compass and you are all familiar with North,
South, East, and West.
And, what I've observed, people have removed points on that map, have removed places on
that map.
That's not how you put stuff back.
I just want you to choose and I will tell you, this is what I've received and this
is where we're at.
So, there is a concept of spiritual geography and we are going to use that and on that map,
with that compass with compass points, we'll see horizons.
You are going to travel through land, you'll see horizons and will say," I never knew
that before" And you'll see points of that.
I want to point that to you as we travel together and tell you what the significant of that
is.
Again, I'm looking at that world with an imagination, not to type of imagination, the
modern world will use that term of "Can you imagine when you began to think of the mind
of God."
Philosophy can help us out there, theology can help us out there.
When you began to think for me with the mind of the Church, not with this mind of this
priest or that nun, or mom and dad but with the mind of the Church.
You are free to reject it, we began to think, that's what I'm conveying to you with
the mind of spiritual geography, related there, there are general means of perfection, meaning
there is a start, there's a way, there's a point of destination and we are growing.
We, I've been told, some Church call is stages of conversion, others call is process
of holiness, a process of perfection, but there are general means.
I want that on your map and you'll see that as we develop these tapes.
There's general means but there's also specific means and we'll talk about it and
there are tapes.
Didn't we do one on General means Sep?
We've done one on General means, we are going to give you that specific means so you'll
understand a little bit about there's a big picture, and a very specific picture that
you could be called to it.
You'll pick that up and we'll repeat that over and over but every time we do it.
I'm going to convey to you the knowledge and the ideas in terms of the formation, in
terms for beginners who need initiation, no experience whatsoever.
Those who are mid-level who have some experience beyond beginning, some advanced, sand for
very advance, there are those who have mastered some of these.
So, you have beginners, no experience, mid-level, and those who have mastered it and wanting
to improve their knowledge and continued on.
So, there are 3 approaches, you'll see as we progress on these tapes.
Again, this is going to be for those who are called and are looking and are hungry.
Hungry they don't really know what it is.
Are they hungry for justice, truth, goodness?
Do it you suffers?
Maybe you have been crucified by Christians and I don't want you to suffer.
I want to convey to you another tool we have: A friend and a big sister, Teresa, the little
flower.
St. Therese, she was guided by the holy spirit, not by spiritual director, a priest, or bishop,
or a nun, by the holy spirit.
Is that coming up Seppy?
Can you see her smiling?
You want to wave to her?
So, that's helpful if you have been.
I don't want to, misguided, or misunderstood.
Know that God is there, God is greater than any person, any misunderstanding or any fault.
You can ask Carmelites, is it true that the little flower, St. Therese of Lisieux, will
she guided by the Holy Spirit?
Was that her spiritual director?
Ask that question in that way and you're focusing it so that you get a yes, no, of
I don't answer.
So, that someone doesn't go often and talk for 10 minutes and not answer your question.
Your life is to be order to God that's what we believe and we believe that God wants to
gathers us into community.
Community is pretty basic, community people, you may say, "Oh not me, not me" and in
the ordinary course of events.
I will be talking in this states about the ordinary not the extraordinary.
I don't want to invert, oftentimes people today particularly people with lots letters
behind their name will invert and used the exception rather than the rule; you have to
watch that, the exception rather than the rule okay?
So, if we were driving and there's an emergency it's okay to drive on the grassy median
or the side of the road.
You'll see that, police do that, that's an exception.
The normal rule is to travel on the main portion of the highway, that's normally how you
travel, you don't travel in the ditch, you don't travel, why?
Because there's danger there.
So, I'm going to be coaching this from the thought processes of communal; You live in
communion, can't even be buried without somebody else's helping you, so whether
you agree or not everybody produces some good hopefully in their own course of events in
society you have a purpose.
You can reject that purpose, you kind of against it but I'm starting to give you the concept
of communal.
C-o-m-m-u-n-i-o Did I spell that right Sep?
Okay.
So, communal, we are a society, I've never met you but we in society.
I can't get buried with the help of, without the help of my neighbor and we go back into
the Hebrew text, The Old Testament, there's a good act of virtue to bury the dead.
Where you can see that's an absorbable event.
It's natural law, you are not be able to bury yourself.
We think in terms of communal and society that no one in the body of Christ without
mother, father, sister, or brother.
So, if you are listening to this: we have listening audience in Asia, North America,
we are in Michigan.
No one is without mother, father, sister, or brother, you are not alone, you are not
alone.
We as communal gather in others.
We gather, we cleanse, and we are in dispersing goodness, dispersing truth to disperse darkness
and so, we gather, we cleanse, and disperse darkness, got that?
Those are going to be a theme going throughout these tapes.
All in preparation for an afterlife.
I believe it's called a Kingdom to come, all in preparation okay?
So again, I am welcoming you to what we call, 'Welcome to Carmel' Carmel is like a diamond,
we take, you take life, and a diamond can reflect it, and you see different colors of
a rainbow.
You can see red, you have sacred heart of devotion; you can see the blue if you have
the Marian devotion; you can see green If you are thinking about the Holy Spirit.
Carmel is a Marian way of life, Carmel is Mary's order, it's mother's order, it's
order dedicated to laywoman.
A laywoman protected by a layman and we have Mary and Joseph, Mary and Joseph.
These are my statues from, she should be bigger because in terms of holiness and perfection
we believe Mary exceeds all the perfections that others have.
The most perfection human can take from God and we'll talk more about that in other
tape.
Come to Carmel, welcome to Carmel, not to grab you and make you into a Carmelite, but
to form you, not to stuff you with ideas like sausage but to form your mind for action and
that action is to draw closer to God.
If I'm not doing that let me know because I failed you.
I have a job description and my job description is like any other job description in Carmel,
you have job description and you can know when to performing, performing well and poorly
performing.
So, this entire channel discusses 'Dressing the Bride in Holiness' and we'll talk
about what the bride is, the holiness is from our point of view and I introduce you in prior
tapes about obstacles to this vocation.
There's the dominion of God and we are trying to further the dominion of God, there's
the empire in justice and the dominion of, I got that wrong.
The dominion of lie and the dominion of injustice opposed to dominion of God and that's for
conflict of resolution.
We are going to talk about that in further tape and we don't want injustice to expand,
we don't want darkness to expand, we don't want the lie to expand.
We are about truth, goodness, and life.
One of the basic, basic foundation of Missions of Christian believers is truth telling.
Would you agree Sep?
Truth telling, truth telling.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth…" what was it Sep?
"The life" "I am the way, the truth and the life" So, when you look at a Catholic
Priest, a nun, Friar, Layperson, nothing in their life in perfect, nothing in their life
is to be consistent with that basic truth telling.
It often is because of sin, it often is because of ignorance and an inclination to do wrong
but they are to stand for that value even though they may fall short.
I may fall short in that noble project we are starting on; is I'm in front of the
camera it's been that process by many people who have before us.
I can't take a credit here.
So many people, I'm talking about the people who are in behind the camera, hours upon hours
looking at English which is not their primary language, all for the love of God that's
right and the promotion of the family.
So, I hope that's helpful to you, I want to leave you with a concept and conclude that
God is the goal, it's the Trinitarian God; Carmel is very Trinitarian, and when there's
fog no matter where you are at in life, no matter what orders where the other orders
could be at, to be confused.
Carmel is to be true to that compass, that horizon, that Trinitarian God.
That Trinitarian God we have the Father who we ascribe to Him as creating; Christ, Jesus
Christ as redeeming of fallen creation; and we have the Holy Spirit sanctifying, making
that ordering, that fallen, redeeming creature better than what it is.
So, there's Father Creator, Son, redeeming, and Holy Spirit Sanctifying.
I want you to know that.
From the God-head there are 2 processions, put this on your map of knowledge.
There is procession of truth and there's procession of goodness.
God supreme activity within the Godhead is knowing and loving.
And, you see this coming out from active creation and the angels.
You see the distinctions and the angels and the choirs.
Angels have 2 activities, knowing and loving.
They received that from God and we received much and we pass it on.
The word that people like to use now.
We are diffusing that.
So, I want to start with that Trinitarian, lay this foundation.
I'm giving you a list, inventory of concepts.
Pull back on as you progress to these tapes, the procession of truth from God, you know
Jesus Christ.
Procession of charity, of love, of goodness, you know as Holy Spirit, okay?
So, there is the loving of God which is the Holy Spirit.
There is this knowing this truth.
Procession of truth from God as Jesus Christ.
Now, we'll fine tune that for you; for some of the Philosophers out there we are not into
dividing that but one of the tapes, we'll talk about God in terms of His existence,
in terms of His essence, in His operations, okay?
So, I'm mixing goodness with charity, objects with actions.
I know that but for the simple, people coming here.
I want you to know, I don't mean by that, I mean that you never have an experience.
I want you to think of the Godhead, and want you thinking of procession coming out, a procession.
Just like a procession of water coming out of a hose.
That procession is Jesus Christ, truth, there's another procession, that is goodness that
is loving, knowing, as the Holy Spirit okay?
We are all concluding of that Godhead.
Now, I want to leave you a though of who we are as Carmels, Carmelites, in the words of
John Paul II and you can find this in Apostolic letter and maybe we can put a link into this
Apostolic letter, - Master in Faith December 14, 1990, Apostolic letter of his holiness
John Paul II for the 4th Setenary of the death of St. John of the Cross and he identifies
what Carmelite is and he writes about John of the Cross.
I'm quoting him, "The living image of discalse Carmelite is John of the Cross"
That is what he is saying here and he talks about the living image of the dicalse Carmelite:
austerity, intimacy with God, intense prayer, evangelical fraternity, and a commitment to
promoting prayer and Christian perfection through the spiritual teaching and direction
which are your specific apostle in the church.
Now, this is the great John Paul II talking to the world and talking about people who
want something deeper, something beyond limited pleasure, unlimited goods, unlimited flavors
and good, is still that knowing and Carmel is not to grab you and turn you to Carmelite.
That's not what this is about at all, Carmel is to disperse darkness, disperse the fog,
give you a map, okay?
Give you a compass, point out horizon, and say," Have you thought about this?
And form your mind so that as you progress you began to discern and began to act acts.
For acting where to go from where you at from where you want to be.
Where you at, where you ought to be.
Happiness, peace, is that make sense Sep?
I gave you that for we as a Carmelite we want to advocate the advance, and new artist will
like this.
We cannot just advance in humanity with intellectual advancing, lots of degrees.
There's contemplate advance.
Prayer dimension, there's prayer dimension that's unseen, unknown.
So, not just intellectual advancement, there's an advancement, interior advancement and that's
what makes society elevates the value in society and makes life more bearable, the salt of
the earth, okay?
I want you to think about that.
We must undergo development in our contemplative dimension, and we must disperse the image,
the teachings of our holy father John of the Cross.
That's what we are doing here, that's what I'm doing, I'm doing what I was told
to do, okay?
I do it in a good way but blame my parents, okay?
So, I want to leave you, I gave you Garrigou-Lagrange, Theresa of Avila, all the minds of the Church.
I talked about John of the Cross, here is his complete works.
ICS Publication, I talked about a great Saint John Paul II.
I used this Rubik's cube with its different dimension in Carmel and they reflect.
You should be able to find whatever you are searching for as direct action, guide of where
you want to go, meaning you want to be a Dominican, you can't tell everything about Dominicans
but you should be able to get an illuminated here, to know more a little bit of where you
are to be at.
Okay?
Key and a guide, spiritual guide.
I leave you with other one, I promise about the specific means.
We talked in the prior tape about the general means of perfection.
I want to leave you with the mindset of the church, that's called curated, the minds
of many Saints long before us, layman, Mary, and Joseph, and this is not meant to exclude
in any other way because there's many ways to approach God and there are many souls but
the mindset of today there's 4 ways to approach God by putting your hand in the hand of Jesus
Christ.
And I just leave you with, and Seppy can type that a little bit, we are going to make a
separate talk on that.
But this is the specific means and it comes from Canon law and that's the official legislation
of the Holy Father and it talks about drawing closer to God by putting your hand in the
hand of Jesus Christ.
Walking more closely to him as the praying Jesus.
But you are walking, moving closer to Jesus on where you are at.
You are putting your hand of Jesus Christ, and walking more closely to God, preaching,
that's the Dominicans, that's a way.
There's another way: you put your hands in Jesus Christ walking more closely to God
and closer to Jesus by doing good to others that's the Franciscans.
You put your hand in the hand of Jesus and walking more closer to God, closer to Jesus
dialoguing with the world, with the leaders of the world, that's the Jesuits, okay?
Like it or not, accept it, reject it, that's the mindset of what you're being face with
as you try to come closer and understand the bride of Christ, the body of Christ, the people
of God.
That's their mindset and we'll go on into that in a separate tape but I'm getting
it from this right here, from Canon.
Sep maybe you can give them a connection to that, It's Canon 5:77, I will read it for
you just briefly, "In the Church there are many institutes of consecration of life, with
gifts that's different with grace, which has been given out.
They more closely follow Christ praying or Christ proclaiming the Kingdom of God or Christ
doing good to people or Christ in dialogue of people in this world but always Christ
doing the will of the Father."
There's a nice commentary on here that these are distinctions and they will help you discern,
maybe where your niches at.
Everybody has a purpose, everybody has job description in the heart, in the mind and
heart of God and when you find that you find your niche, you find your happiness.
That's what it is all about, happiness, okay?
