I think maybe the biggest convenience we have in this country is freedom. Don’t take it for granted, vote!

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Thanks Randy.

@Gunapatifamily Год назад

Oh my God, I could talk to you for hours about this.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

lol. Yes. But, alas, I am speachless lately.

@jameshouse1268 Год назад

Thank you for another introspective “one on one” about such a timely subject. Again, it will take a few views of this episode to fully digest and think about the ideas/subjects that were presented. Great series!!Take care always 😊

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Same here. I go back and watch them myself to find clarity with my own challenging thoughts about the world.

Thanks for sharing, it's always good to encourage each other to adopt healthier and more sustainable habits. I had some eye-opening experiences along these lines but I think they're experiences one must have for themselves for it to sink in. Maybe before long we're all going to start having those experiences.. like that crab harvest which didn't happen this year. I don't eat meat so it didn't directly affect me but I know when a warning shot is being fired - it's snow crabs this year it could be a dozen crops next year.

You may be further along than me in some of this thinking...

I think you nailed it with, ‘but that’s not the reality’. Dream but understand the steps of getting there and the reality of one’s situation. Well done sir. This talk made me revisit my own values and how those fit into my short and long-term goals and how my values and goals have changed over my time and the reality of my situation. The disparities are large of course, but the constant is to keep it simple and whatever my definition of simple is, because it’s probably different for many, is that it’s allow myself the ability to scale, as you said, adjust; by allowing room for error and restart. For the majority of my time I have not had a clear long-term goal, mission, purpose, whatever folks want to call it. I guess I’m not making much of a statement but rather relaying my stream of thought. So, my point is, thank you for helping me to revisit those values obscured by convince as of late and more particularly to the topics you discussed.

Thanks, Luke.

This, of course, was an inconvenient video as it made me think of the conveniences in my life I should rethink…. Ok, I guess that make it a convenient video. You mentioned a person waiting for their retirement in 10 years. That sort of hit home as I wait mine in hopefully 6-7 years. But this week we were hit with the reality that we may not have all those years with the passing of a friend. We really need to grasp the moment and try and refocuses as none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. You mentioned the reaction of an alien finding and coming to this planet and their reaction to the beauty. I fear their reaction to the species we call humans that can’t get along with each other on a global scale and frankly are the one species that’s killing this planet. If we could all work together as humans, amazing advancements in science and technology that could save this planet I’m sure would come much sooner. We could also imagine what this world would be like without the human race. As always, much to think about and much inertia to overcome…

Same here. It is interesting that the last several videos I posted were these talks which led me to stop making videos (for the time being) as I realized I've been experiencing social media burnout. It is true, that life happens unexpectedly. Take my summer trip to the PNW this year and how it came to a screeching hault when I tried to lift my 5 gallon bucket cooler out of the back of the truck and caused some of the most excruciating pain I have ever felt taking me to the emergency room. Things happen (seemingly bad and seemingly good) in life. We don't know when it's coming. In my book, I share that I think we, as seemingly individual humans, are whole and complete. That we are inherently innocent. That we need to forgive ourselves first and then see that others are a part of us and forgiving them is also a part of forgiving ourselves. But, lately I have my beliefs are challenged with the notion that we are a parasite on the planet. As an ENFJ, I tend to hold a belief that we as a species have it within ourselves to allow the goodness rise to the surface and prevail.

Wow 😮eye opener in the new earth world we will be peacemakers & the care takers of the planet & learning to take responsibility for our self rethink life do things we ❤doing there will be all kinds of jobs that a person can do but loving to do it adds to our lives & taking care of our planet is just as important when we start taking care of the animals & nature we can cause harmony that doesn’t cause harm to the earth… We like where this is going very grateful for your caring to take time out to get others to see things in a different light sharing your wisdom…one might ask ,what can I do to help change the world or to help keep our planet clean & how can one do those things if I am 1 voice we are seeing how 1 voice becomes of voice as many & in this oneness we will find many who can become the peace makers with our planet & become caretakers of the planet that would be a job to ❤for many…we like where this is going..need people like you to share your thoughts, wisdom & to help to encourage others…your on the right path keep going with this ..thank you ❤

I am glad the share of thoughts inspires this kind of reflection...it does for me, as well.

@wmpower Год назад

great video 🙏i believe you and your audience would really appreciate the book 📖-the untethered soul by Michael Singer

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Love that book. Read it. Thanks for commenting on several videos. Appreciate it.

@Pack.Leader Год назад

Thinking of you both. Hope to see you again soon. 👣 PS: This is Cheryl, aka Bea, Honey dog and Me. RU-vid has reverted me back to my original channel name and I have no clue why or how to undo it.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

You can customize that handle in your settings. Hi, Cheryl. I've been recovering from social media burnout. Enjoying the warm weather in Arizona. Have been working on some partnerships though, that could positively impact 4XPEDITION.

@Pack.Leader Год назад

@@4XPEDITION Nice to see you're doing fine. I'm happy to hear from you, Scott. Happy December ! Best of luck with your new ventures and partnerships. I understand the social media burnout. Kind of sick of it myself but this too shall pass. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Hugs to Heather Jo ! ~ Cheryl

"Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down with the hand." Isaiah 28:2 All those metals in your iphones were mined. The rare earth elements that make your computer lights blink on and off? Mined. The plastic to house your computers, your bottled water, even your phone comes from oil. All this was wrote about long, long ago. Peace!

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Richard, please don't think that I think I am above the problem. My ability to share this video was fully dependent on the technology that was created from the resources of the land to begin with and the electricity provided likely from a hydro power dam on the Colorado River. I think, though, that spreading the ideas around and into the minds of those who may not contemplate such things is an important way to trigger change.

@richardbeee Год назад

@@4XPEDITION I agree with you. If you purchase a E-auto make sure your trips have recharging stations that are not made of plastic or have any kind of plastic wrapped around the charging wires. Also make sure that no part of your E-auto is made of plastic. It would help the environment tho, no plastic islands in the sea. That would be cool. O, i almost forgot the batteries, they can't have any plastic either. So, now we have a vehicle that will be much heavier, and they outlaw mining, so i guess i'll eventually get my dream back. Horses. They don't need plastic or oil, electricity. Just a good field full of grass to refuel.🙂Love y'all, peace!
