Hello, I'm Charles Curves, Australasian passion provocateur.

2
0:00:24 --> 0:00:31
Welcome to this week's episode of the Charles Curves Show, Episode 140.

3
0:00:31 --> 0:00:41
In this week's episode, I explore the complexity of living systems and living things and the

4
0:00:41 --> 0:00:44
tendency to simplify.

5
0:00:44 --> 0:00:48
But simplicity often leads to instability.

6
0:00:48 --> 0:00:53
In fact, most times it leads to instability.

7
0:00:53 --> 0:01:01
We want simplicity, but the rush to simplicity to make our lives easier to understand often

8
0:01:01 --> 0:01:05
ends up in disaster and death.

9
0:01:05 --> 0:01:08
Human cells are complex.

10
0:01:08 --> 0:01:16
The functioning of human cells in your body is complex.

11
0:01:16 --> 0:01:18
Soil is complex.

12
0:01:18 --> 0:01:21
The world's climate is complex.

13
0:01:21 --> 0:01:27
Settling termites to save your timber is simple.

14
0:01:27 --> 0:01:32
But without termites, our planet would struggle in many, many ways.

15
0:01:32 --> 0:01:35
In fact, it wouldn't survive.

16
0:01:35 --> 0:01:40
The solution is to embrace complexity and live with it.

17
0:01:40 --> 0:01:48
Develop a mindset that is hungry to learn about complexity and to harness that complexity

18
0:01:48 --> 0:01:53
to gain the rewards of deep understanding.

19
0:01:53 --> 0:01:59
So welcome to this week's show, whether you're watching on YouTube, on Rumble, listening

20
0:01:59 --> 0:02:02
via podcast.

21
0:02:02 --> 0:02:04
We're happy that you're here.

22
0:02:04 --> 0:02:10
Our format for the show is that firstly, I share today's big idea.

23
0:02:10 --> 0:02:17
Then I share six resources to help you implement the thinking behind the big idea.

24
0:02:17 --> 0:02:21
Thirdly, I review some key happenings during the past week.

25
0:02:21 --> 0:02:26
And then the fourth part is for newer viewers and listeners where I cover some background

26
0:02:26 --> 0:02:31
information about me and the foundational principles for this show.

27
0:02:31 --> 0:02:37
Regular viewers and listeners know that detail, so they don't have to stick around for that

28
0:02:37 --> 0:02:38
last bit.

29
0:02:38 --> 0:02:43
So let's go with today's big idea.

30
0:02:43 --> 0:02:49
All aspects of living things and life itself are complex.

31
0:02:49 --> 0:02:57
Trying to find simple solutions to complex matters creates instability and chaos.

32
0:02:57 --> 0:03:01
Let me give you three practical examples.

33
0:03:01 --> 0:03:05
Firstly, termites in your house and spraying them.

34
0:03:05 --> 0:03:10
It's a simple solution to spray the termites and kill them all.

35
0:03:10 --> 0:03:16
Well, what would happen if there were no termites on the planet if we killed all the termites?

36
0:03:16 --> 0:03:19
Well, the answer is soil.

37
0:03:19 --> 0:03:22
Termites are fantastic soil engineers.

38
0:03:22 --> 0:03:29
Many worms and termites and living things are wonderful aerators of soil.

39
0:03:29 --> 0:03:37
Where we run around spraying and killing in a simple way a complex fact that soil is complex

40
0:03:37 --> 0:03:45
and the way that termites play a role in soil, making it usable by human beings.

41
0:03:45 --> 0:03:52
So not understanding that complexity, embracing the simple solution of just kill and spray

42
0:03:52 --> 0:03:58
and kill causes significant instability.

43
0:03:58 --> 0:04:01
Second example, cancer.

44
0:04:01 --> 0:04:05
Cancer seems to be increasing despite all the money that's being put into it.

45
0:04:05 --> 0:04:06
Cancer very simple solution.

46
0:04:06 --> 0:04:08
Let's cut out the cancer.

47
0:04:08 --> 0:04:16
Let's inundate the body with radiation and chemicals and kill the cancer.

48
0:04:16 --> 0:04:20
Just like we kill the termites, kill the cancer.

49
0:04:20 --> 0:04:25
However, many of you will know cases where the patient dies and the medical fraternity

50
0:04:25 --> 0:04:28
says it was the cancer that killed him.

51
0:04:28 --> 0:04:33
I say in many cases it's the treatment that killed the patient.

52
0:04:33 --> 0:04:40
The human body, the functioning of human cells is incredibly complex and the medical profession

53
0:04:40 --> 0:04:48
to its shame refuses to accept solutions and possibilities that are outside their existing

54
0:04:48 --> 0:04:51
areas of thinking.

55
0:04:51 --> 0:04:54
There's huge amounts of evidence for that.

56
0:04:54 --> 0:04:58
So the simple solution causes great instability.

57
0:04:58 --> 0:05:02
It causes people to collapse and of course to die.

58
0:05:02 --> 0:05:11
The third example of complexity reduced to simplicity is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

59
0:05:11 --> 0:05:18
is firstly causing global warming, then global, sorry, first global cooling in the 70s, then

60
0:05:18 --> 0:05:19
global warming.

61
0:05:19 --> 0:05:22
But when that fraud has disappeared, now it's a climate emergency.

62
0:05:22 --> 0:05:24
Simple, isn't it?

63
0:05:24 --> 0:05:27
CO2 up, climate emergency up.

64
0:05:27 --> 0:05:29
I call BS on that.

65
0:05:29 --> 0:05:32
There is no climate emergency.

66
0:05:32 --> 0:05:35
The climate is incredibly complex.

67
0:05:35 --> 0:05:41
To say that one factor, CO2, carbon dioxide, and then they're slipping into the methane

68
0:05:41 --> 0:05:47
bit is causing climate emergency is simply fake.

69
0:05:47 --> 0:05:49
It's BS.

70
0:05:49 --> 0:05:55
If we embrace that principle of simplicity, oh, let's bring down the CO2, it's causing

71
0:05:55 --> 0:05:57
massive instability.

72
0:05:58 --> 0:06:01
Let me give you one example.

73
0:06:01 --> 0:06:07
Cost of electricity is going up.

74
0:06:07 --> 0:06:10
Affordability goes down.

75
0:06:10 --> 0:06:14
Electricity is the foundational difference between rich and poor countries.

76
0:06:14 --> 0:06:18
If GDP goes down, people become poorer.

77
0:06:18 --> 0:06:22
Massive instability, everybody.

78
0:06:22 --> 0:06:27
Complexity cannot be eliminated in many, many environments.

79
0:06:27 --> 0:06:30
In some, of course, it can.

80
0:06:30 --> 0:06:32
And that's wonderful to find those opportunities.

81
0:06:32 --> 0:06:37
And my quote this week, I'll mention that later as well, but my quote this week is that

82
0:06:37 --> 0:06:43
Albert Einstein, the great Albert Einstein recommended to make things as simple as possible,

83
0:06:43 --> 0:06:45
but no simpler.

84
0:06:45 --> 0:06:51
As simple as possible, but no simpler.

85
0:06:51 --> 0:06:56
The human body is incredibly complex.

86
0:06:56 --> 0:07:00
I've been dealing with doctors for many years.

87
0:07:00 --> 0:07:06
In fact, 1975, I was a legal advisor to many doctors to help them minimize their income

88
0:07:06 --> 0:07:07
tax.

89
0:07:07 --> 0:07:12
And for the last 10 years, I've particularly had dealings with the health profession and

90
0:07:12 --> 0:07:22
with wise, integrative doctors versus narrow minded, narrow minded, non thinking doctors

91
0:07:22 --> 0:07:25
who simply follow protocols.

92
0:07:25 --> 0:07:28
The human body is incredibly complex.

93
0:07:28 --> 0:07:31
And doctors who say, oh, yeah, we understand all how it works.

94
0:07:31 --> 0:07:33
I call BS on that.

95
0:07:33 --> 0:07:36
Another element is soil.

96
0:07:36 --> 0:07:38
Soil is incredibly complex.

97
0:07:38 --> 0:07:39
Take a handful of soil.

98
0:07:39 --> 0:07:40
My dad taught me this.

99
0:07:40 --> 0:07:42
And you know, I love, I love the planet.

100
0:07:42 --> 0:07:43
I love soil.

101
0:07:43 --> 0:07:44
I love this planet that we're living on.

102
0:07:44 --> 0:07:48
In fact, I've been an organic farmer since 1976.

103
0:07:48 --> 0:07:51
Take a handful of living soil.

104
0:07:51 --> 0:07:56
It's got millions of microbes in it, a fungi of bacteria.

105
0:07:56 --> 0:07:59
It's incredibly complex.

106
0:07:59 --> 0:08:03
And then we go and chemicalize that, spray it and kill it.

107
0:08:03 --> 0:08:06
Kill all the living parts of it.

108
0:08:06 --> 0:08:09
Kill all the cells of the soil in a way.

109
0:08:09 --> 0:08:10
Soil is complex.

110
0:08:10 --> 0:08:14
Climate functions is complex.

111
0:08:14 --> 0:08:17
Climate and global weather patterns are complex.

112
0:08:17 --> 0:08:18
Very complex.

113
0:08:18 --> 0:08:22
Start to read in any depth on these matters.

114
0:08:22 --> 0:08:23
You'll see how complicated it is.

115
0:08:23 --> 0:08:30
This nonsensical idea, CO2 up, climate emergency up, is literally that nonsensical.

116
0:08:30 --> 0:08:39
Then you get the further complex, the further complexity that the quality of the soil then

117
0:08:39 --> 0:08:46
impacts on the quality of the food and that then impacts on the quality of the functioning

118
0:08:46 --> 0:08:48
of your cells.

119
0:08:48 --> 0:08:50
Garbage in, garbage out.

120
0:08:50 --> 0:08:54
Put garbage food into your body, you will have a garbage result.

121
0:08:54 --> 0:08:58
This is all so complex.

122
0:08:58 --> 0:09:04
And we want to embrace simplicity so then the chemical companies come along, just spray

123
0:09:04 --> 0:09:07
this, just nuke it with glyphosate.

124
0:09:07 --> 0:09:09
Just put Roundup on it.

125
0:09:10 --> 0:09:11
Just put more chemicals on it.

126
0:09:11 --> 0:09:14
Just put fungicides, herbicides on it.

127
0:09:14 --> 0:09:17
Let's just kill this stuff so that the only thing that grows is the seed that you put

128
0:09:17 --> 0:09:18
in it.

129
0:09:18 --> 0:09:24
Hello, that's not how nature works because nature is complex.

130
0:09:24 --> 0:09:31
It's a complexity of interrelationships just like your cell.

131
0:09:31 --> 0:09:35
So what's to be made of all this?

132
0:09:35 --> 0:09:40
I say embrace complexity when appropriate.

133
0:09:40 --> 0:09:47
Just like I'm embracing this cup of coffee.

134
0:09:47 --> 0:09:48
Embrace it.

135
0:09:48 --> 0:09:49
Don't be scared of it.

136
0:09:49 --> 0:09:52
And then you say, well, I haven't got the time or energy.

137
0:09:52 --> 0:10:00
Well, part of the challenge is to improve your health so that you have much more energy

138
0:10:00 --> 0:10:04
available to you for you to learn about the areas of life that you are interested in.

139
0:10:04 --> 0:10:11
You can't become an expert in all of it, but don't just accept slavish simple solutions

140
0:10:11 --> 0:10:19
and then support those slavish simple solutions to the instability of humanity, the instability

141
0:10:19 --> 0:10:25
of the planet, and more particularly the instability of your life.

142
0:10:26 --> 0:10:32
Make your decision to embrace complexity.

143
0:10:32 --> 0:10:36
Otherwise you will become unstable.

144
0:10:36 --> 0:10:45
My wish for you is to be a man or woman of power, of integrity, of high self-awareness,

145
0:10:45 --> 0:10:51
of understanding of what your life is about so you have that stability.

146
0:10:51 --> 0:10:53
You embrace the complexity.

147
0:10:53 --> 0:10:59
You live with the uncertainty of complexity.

148
0:10:59 --> 0:11:00
It's a great way to live.

149
0:11:00 --> 0:11:10
And when I picture the climate, the soil, the cells, the food, I get how wonderfully

150
0:11:10 --> 0:11:15
complex I don't go how terrifyingly complex.

151
0:11:15 --> 0:11:20
So let me share some resources for you.

152
0:11:20 --> 0:11:28
The song this week, in one sense, I agree with half of the lyrics behind it.

153
0:11:28 --> 0:11:34
It's by Midnight Oil, famous song, Beds Are Burning.

154
0:11:34 --> 0:11:38
How can we dance when our earth is turning?

155
0:11:38 --> 0:11:42
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

156
0:11:42 --> 0:11:46
So Beds Are Burning, it's a great song in the sense of the soil.

157
0:11:46 --> 0:11:50
You know, we are damaging our soil.

158
0:11:50 --> 0:11:55
And in Australia, in many countries of the world, the chemicalization of soil, there's

159
0:11:55 --> 0:11:58
nothing to do with climate emergency.

160
0:11:58 --> 0:12:02
This is to do with damaging soil.

161
0:12:02 --> 0:12:08
And our whole lives come from this soil.

162
0:12:08 --> 0:12:16
And the whole chemicalization process, chemicalization can be good in a number of ways, but the civil

163
0:12:16 --> 0:12:21
simplicity of applying broad chemicals is causing us great harm.

164
0:12:21 --> 0:12:24
And I mentioned before, look at the levels of cancer that are happening.

165
0:12:24 --> 0:12:29
Look at the proven links between glyphosate and cancer.

166
0:12:29 --> 0:12:31
So that's the song Beds Are Burning.

167
0:12:31 --> 0:12:39
And as you listen to that song, think about, think about the complexity of the soil and

168
0:12:39 --> 0:12:45
rejuvenating that soil, whatever you can do to play your part in rejuvenating your part

169
0:12:45 --> 0:12:49
of the earth on which you walk.

170
0:12:49 --> 0:12:57
My book this week is not so much a book, but a two part article by Dr. Rob Verkerk, who

171
0:12:57 --> 0:13:03
I interviewed on my TNT radio show on vibrational frequencies.

172
0:13:03 --> 0:13:12
So the book explores the electromagnetic structure of the human body.

173
0:13:12 --> 0:13:21
It's available at a website for the Alliance for Natural Health International, anhinternational.org.

174
0:13:21 --> 0:13:25
Anhinternational.org.

175
0:13:25 --> 0:13:28
Look for those two articles, parts one and parts two.

176
0:13:28 --> 0:13:34
It'll raise your whole awareness about the complexity of your human body, the energetics

177
0:13:34 --> 0:13:42
of your human body, the electromagnetism of your human body and tools and resources

178
0:13:42 --> 0:13:44
mentioned in those articles.

179
0:13:44 --> 0:13:50
And he also talks about the resistance of the medical profession to learning about,

180
0:13:50 --> 0:13:53
you know, learning what the medical profession was.

181
0:13:53 --> 0:13:54
Woo woo.

182
0:13:54 --> 0:13:55
Sure.

183
0:13:55 --> 0:13:59
If medical profession doesn't like it, they criticize it as woo woo.

184
0:13:59 --> 0:14:04
You might also listen to my interview with Rob, a two hour interview on TNT radio.

185
0:14:04 --> 0:14:11
It's available at tntradio.live, where we go deep into these matters.

186
0:14:11 --> 0:14:19
My health tip is to look up C60 capsules, carbon 60 capsules, which are getting lots

187
0:14:19 --> 0:14:22
of rave reviews for detoxing.

188
0:14:22 --> 0:14:30
And I would also recommend going to a health practitioner and being tested on a Vega machine,

189
0:14:30 --> 0:14:31
V E G A.

190
0:14:31 --> 0:14:34
Find a practitioner that uses this.

191
0:14:34 --> 0:14:40
This is vibrational frequency testing to see what your body needs.

192
0:14:40 --> 0:14:42
They're becoming very sophisticated.

193
0:14:42 --> 0:14:43
Try it.

194
0:14:43 --> 0:14:44
Check it out.

195
0:14:44 --> 0:14:52
And it's a, it is a non opinion based testing mechanism for what's happening inside your

196
0:14:52 --> 0:14:52
body.

197
0:14:52 --> 0:14:55
It might be the 1% inside that you need.

198
0:14:56 --> 0:15:03
My quote, as I mentioned earlier, is by Albert Einstein, make things as simple as possible,

199
0:15:03 --> 0:15:04
but no simpler.

200
0:15:05 --> 0:15:13
And that leads to my spiritual tip to encourage you to meditate on the complexity of your

201
0:15:13 --> 0:15:19
desires, because one way in which you can embrace complexity for the human body and

202
0:15:19 --> 0:15:23
soil and climate is to simplify your life.

203
0:15:23 --> 0:15:28
Simplify your desires to be really clear about what you really want.

204
0:15:28 --> 0:15:30
That's what the self awareness journey is about.

205
0:15:31 --> 0:15:34
As Steve Wright famously said, you can't have it all.

206
0:15:34 --> 0:15:36
Where would you put it?

207
0:15:37 --> 0:15:43
So you have to make a decision and your self awareness says, I'm going to make my desires

208
0:15:43 --> 0:15:44
as simple as possible.

209
0:15:44 --> 0:15:47
So I'm more able to embrace complexity.

210
0:15:48 --> 0:15:54
And then lastly, a spot of humor, a lawyer, an experienced lawyer comes up, comes up to

211
0:15:54 --> 0:16:01
the young guy, the new employee in the law firm, standing beside the shredder.

212
0:16:02 --> 0:16:06
And the lawyer has got two pieces of paper in his hand.

213
0:16:06 --> 0:16:08
He says to the young guy, do you know how to work this thing?

214
0:16:08 --> 0:16:09
And the young guy says, sure.

215
0:16:09 --> 0:16:13
And so the lawyer gives the two bits of paper to the young guy and the young guy puts it

216
0:16:13 --> 0:16:14
through the shredder.

217
0:16:14 --> 0:16:18
As it's going through the shredder, the lawyer says, I'd just like two copies of that, please.

218
0:16:20 --> 0:16:24
You see, the lawyer couldn't be bothered about learning about the different types of machine.

219
0:16:24 --> 0:16:26
He wanted to keep his life simple.

220
0:16:27 --> 0:16:28
He asked the wrong question.

221
0:16:28 --> 0:16:31
He should have embraced a little bit more complexity.

222
0:16:32 --> 0:16:38
The stuff ups that we all impose upon ourselves when we want to keep our lives simple.

223
0:16:38 --> 0:16:45
So think about today's big idea of being willing to embrace complexity.

224
0:16:45 --> 0:16:52
Don't fight for simplicity when it can't be present because it'll cause instability.

225
0:16:53 --> 0:16:56
I think this will make a beneficial difference to your life.

226
0:16:56 --> 0:17:01
It will remove your frustration that everything needs to be simple.

227
0:17:02 --> 0:17:07
My aim for this show is to inspire you, motivate you, excite you about life.

228
0:17:07 --> 0:17:13
About living the life of your dreams, a life that fulfills you, a life that you're clear about.

229
0:17:13 --> 0:17:19
Where you have high levels of self-awareness about what that life would look like.

230
0:17:19 --> 0:17:25
I invite you to subscribe to the podcast, to the YouTube channel, to the Rumble channel.

235
0:17:49 --> 0:17:53
Now let's review some key happenings during the week.

236
0:17:54 --> 0:18:00
I was very amused to see President Joe Biden and his State of the Union address.

237
0:18:00 --> 0:18:07
Yes, it's remarkable how this absolute failure of a president shuffles around,

238
0:18:07 --> 0:18:13
can't put a sentence together and people are pretending that he's making decisions.

239
0:18:13 --> 0:18:16
He's just a puppet president there. Just keep observing that.

240
0:18:16 --> 0:18:21
I've also had lots of referrals from people, references or links from people

241
0:18:21 --> 0:18:24
who say that that is not actually Joe Biden.

242
0:18:24 --> 0:18:26
Think and have a look at what he looked like.

243
0:18:26 --> 0:18:28
Have a look at the material online about it.

244
0:18:28 --> 0:18:31
Is this the real Joe Biden or is it a puppet?

245
0:18:32 --> 0:18:37
The other big issue that's happening, another big issue that's happening is sudden deaths.

246
0:18:37 --> 0:18:40
What a mystery that there's sudden deaths.

247
0:18:40 --> 0:18:45
I say there's no sudden deaths. I say if you put poison into people, they will die.

248
0:18:46 --> 0:18:49
They will have all sorts of heart problems.

249
0:18:49 --> 0:18:55
And so what I urge anyone who has lost someone suddenly is to insist on an autopsy.

250
0:18:56 --> 0:18:58
Push hard for an autopsy.

251
0:18:58 --> 0:19:01
I've been helping a lady called Kerry on this issue.

252
0:19:01 --> 0:19:09
The Brisbane Hospital has done a disgraceful job and effectively negligent homicide.

253
0:19:09 --> 0:19:17
They put in place by ignoring what needed to be done to her husband, her 57-year-old husband.

254
0:19:17 --> 0:19:22
And she's fighting for justice and she's fighting for a proper autopsy.

255
0:19:22 --> 0:19:26
Sudden deaths are not a mystery, everybody.

256
0:19:27 --> 0:19:33
The third issue is the dramatic increase in excess deaths over previous periods happening

257
0:19:33 --> 0:19:34
all around the world.

258
0:19:35 --> 0:19:36
Guess why they're happening.

259
0:19:36 --> 0:19:42
Yes, I can't say on this, but there's some stuff being put into people that's causing

260
0:19:42 --> 0:19:44
excess deaths.

261
0:19:44 --> 0:19:46
The numbers are damning.

262
0:19:46 --> 0:19:49
If you get a 2% or 3% excess death increase,

263
0:19:49 --> 0:19:52
suddenly there'll be all around the mainstream news.

264
0:19:52 --> 0:19:53
It is not about the mainstream.

265
0:19:53 --> 0:19:57
It's not being published, but it's all available.

266
0:19:58 --> 0:20:08
These excess deaths are a testimony to the bad decisions that are being made for humanity's health.

267
0:20:11 --> 0:20:16
The fourth issue is the attempt by the World Health Organization to gain sovereignty over

268
0:20:16 --> 0:20:19
all nations, including Australia, where I live.

269
0:20:20 --> 0:20:25
The World Health Organization wants to be able to declare whatever it wants and to then claim

270
0:20:25 --> 0:20:28
power over the people of each country.

271
0:20:28 --> 0:20:29
Be aware of this.

272
0:20:29 --> 0:20:31
It is outrageous.

273
0:20:31 --> 0:20:36
It is taking away national sovereignty, all in the name of the good of humanity.

274
0:20:36 --> 0:20:38
Again, I call BS on this.

275
0:20:38 --> 0:20:46
Please do not accept how your local politicians, you do not want politicians to be bound by

276
0:20:46 --> 0:20:54
decisions of an unelected organization called the World Health Organization that a friend of mine,

277
0:20:55 --> 0:21:00
a highly experienced psychiatrist, a Jewish psychiatrist for that matter,

278
0:21:00 --> 0:21:03
calls the World Holocaust Organization.

279
0:21:04 --> 0:21:11
The other crucial issue that's arising is the concept of 15-minute cities or 20-minute cities.

280
0:21:11 --> 0:21:12
Please find out about that.

281
0:21:12 --> 0:21:19
It is an evil that's being perpetrated on you to limit you to not going outside a 15-minute radius

282
0:21:19 --> 0:21:23
of your home, all in the name of climate emergency.

283
0:21:23 --> 0:21:25
This also is evil.

284
0:21:28 --> 0:21:35
Lastly, be aware that if your loved one is in hospital, make sure that you have a medical

285
0:21:35 --> 0:21:36
power of attorney.

286
0:21:36 --> 0:21:42
There are some horror stories happening in hospitals of people where hospitals and doctors

287
0:21:42 --> 0:21:46
are not listening to the wishes of spouses because they don't have a medical power of attorney.

288
0:21:47 --> 0:21:52
Do not let someone go into a hospital that you love if that person is not going to be able to be

289
0:21:52 --> 0:21:55
fully accomplished to make their decisions.

290
0:21:55 --> 0:22:03
Most people in the hospital are confused by the complexity imposed upon them by the system,

291
0:22:03 --> 0:22:11
by the protocols, by evidence-based medicine, not medicine based on the needs of you, of your loved

292
0:22:11 --> 0:22:11
one.

293
0:22:11 --> 0:22:17
Make sure you get a medical power of attorney, otherwise you are risking significant harm.

294
0:22:18 --> 0:22:25
Then while all that's going on, Julie and I maintain our healthy lifestyle.

295
0:22:25 --> 0:22:26
I keep exercising.

296
0:22:26 --> 0:22:29
I urge you to maintain your exercise regime.

297
0:22:29 --> 0:22:32
It doesn't matter what's happening, it doesn't matter how busy you are.

298
0:22:32 --> 0:22:35
You must look after this wonderful machine that we've got.

299
0:22:35 --> 0:22:40
Balance the mental, the physical, the spiritual, and particularly by listening to and watching

300
0:22:40 --> 0:22:42
programs like this.

301
0:22:44 --> 0:22:46
All right, well we're getting close.

302
0:22:46 --> 0:22:52
If you're new to the show, please stick around to get some more background about me and to dig

303
0:22:52 --> 0:22:55
into the foundational principles of this show.

304
0:22:57 --> 0:22:59
Thanks for watching or listening.

305
0:23:00 --> 0:23:02
Thanks for sharing this show.

306
0:23:02 --> 0:23:03
Thanks for subscribing.

307
0:23:04 --> 0:23:08
Until next week, may your week be full of passion.

308
0:23:08 --> 0:23:09
Be full of exploration.

309
0:23:09 --> 0:23:12
Be full of the willingness to embrace complexity.

310
0:23:12 --> 0:23:19
And be full of opportunities to increase your self-awareness so you live life on your terms.

311
0:23:19 --> 0:23:20
Thanks for being here.

312
0:23:20 --> 0:23:21
See you next week.

313
0:23:22 --> 0:23:22
Bye.

314
0:23:38 --> 0:23:45
Listeners who want to know more about my background and what else I do with my life as well as the

315
0:23:45 --> 0:23:47
foundational principles of the show.

316
0:23:47 --> 0:23:48
Here we are.

317
0:23:48 --> 0:23:54
Since 1993 when I left my legal career, a career that I love to become Australasian

318
0:23:54 --> 0:24:02
passion provocateur, I have inspired and provoked and educated and motivated people

319
0:24:02 --> 0:24:05
all over the world to discover and pursue their passion.

320
0:24:05 --> 0:24:10
I have helped people via the books that I've written, via speeches at conferences,

321
0:24:11 --> 0:24:19
via in-depth team building programs, workshops over one, two or three days or over three

322
0:24:19 --> 0:24:19
months, six months.

323
0:24:20 --> 0:24:25
And I've coached people of all ages one-on-one from small, medium and large enterprises,

324
0:24:25 --> 0:24:33
government enterprises, helping them to identify the often tiny changes that can make a massive

325
0:24:33 --> 0:24:34
difference.

326
0:24:35 --> 0:24:40
One of my core principles is that freedom is what makes us truly human.

327
0:24:41 --> 0:24:46
That's why one of the greatest threats that government imposes on you to force you to

328
0:24:46 --> 0:24:52
observe its laws is the threat of imprisonment, the loss of your freedom.

329
0:24:52 --> 0:24:53
Just think about that.

330
0:24:53 --> 0:24:56
Government says if you don't behave yourself, we're going to put you in jail.

331
0:24:56 --> 0:24:57
No, no, I don't want to go to jail.

332
0:24:57 --> 0:24:58
I don't want to lose my freedom.

333
0:25:00 --> 0:25:04
That's a reminder to you of why freedom is so important.

334
0:25:04 --> 0:25:09
Without freedom, you and I are not much different to animals.

335
0:25:09 --> 0:25:14
If you were locked up in a cage for the rest of your life, how different would you be to

336
0:25:14 --> 0:25:14
an animal?

337
0:25:15 --> 0:25:22
This commitment to fighting for freedoms for all people is carried out by me primarily

338
0:25:22 --> 0:25:24
through five channels.

339
0:25:24 --> 0:25:29
Number one, preserving the freedom to pursue your passion.

340
0:25:29 --> 0:25:36
Number two, inspiring you to be able to be free through excellent health.

341
0:25:36 --> 0:25:43
Number three, helping preserve freedom throughout the world through the expansion of

342
0:25:43 --> 0:25:51
industrial hemp, a magnificent agricultural crop, an almost miraculous crop that enables

343
0:25:51 --> 0:25:56
every community to thrive independently of government.

344
0:25:57 --> 0:26:02
In this way, the power of government to take away freedom is minimized.

345
0:26:03 --> 0:26:08
Number four, fighting for freedom through legal strategies.

346
0:26:08 --> 0:26:13
So I do work as a legal strategy consultant as an interface between clients and their

347
0:26:13 --> 0:26:13
lawyers.

348
0:26:14 --> 0:26:19
And number five, as chairman of the Australian Institute of Comedy and as a board member of

349
0:26:19 --> 0:26:26
the Australian Cartoon Museum, fighting for the freedom of thought and speech through

350
0:26:27 --> 0:26:37
uncensored comedy and humour, through avoiding political correctness in the comedic space.

351
0:26:38 --> 0:26:42
When you block freedom of speech, freedom of thought, that's the beginning of the end

352
0:26:42 --> 0:26:43
of your freedoms.

353
0:26:44 --> 0:26:48
The foundational principles for the Charles Kovasz Show are founded on the formula

354
0:26:49 --> 0:26:52
S A plus P equals S.

355
0:26:53 --> 0:26:58
Your self-awareness added to your passion will guarantee that you are successful.

356
0:26:59 --> 0:27:03
And the best definition of success I have found in life is that success is the progressive

357
0:27:03 --> 0:27:07
realization of your worthy ideals.

358
0:27:07 --> 0:27:10
The progressive realization of your worthy ideals.

359
0:27:11 --> 0:27:15
This show is also guided by Socrates' famous principle and quote,

360
0:27:15 --> 0:27:17
the unexamined life is not worth living.

361
0:27:18 --> 0:27:19
You can see I'm wearing my red jacket.

362
0:27:19 --> 0:27:21
I wear my red jacket for all my shows.

363
0:27:21 --> 0:27:28
Red is the colour of passion so that when you see me on the YouTube version, it reminds you

364
0:27:28 --> 0:27:35
that when you see red in your life, you ask yourself the question, am I pursuing my passion?

365
0:27:35 --> 0:27:36
What am I passionate about?

366
0:27:36 --> 0:27:38
Am I still passionate about that?

367
0:27:38 --> 0:27:40
What might I newly be passionate about?

368
0:27:41 --> 0:27:44
Each week I explore one big idea that can change your life.

369
0:27:45 --> 0:27:49
And it's just one big idea because there's a chance you will remember if I give you too

370
0:27:49 --> 0:27:53
many ideas, then we get confused and we don't do anything.

371
0:27:54 --> 0:27:56
Clarity leads to power.

372
0:27:56 --> 0:27:58
Confusion kills passion.

373
0:27:59 --> 0:28:05
Each week I share simple and practical resources that you've heard me describe in the earlier

374
0:28:05 --> 0:28:05
part of the show.

375
0:28:06 --> 0:28:13
A spiritual tip, a health tip, lyrics of a song, a book, a quote, and of course humour.

376
0:28:13 --> 0:28:14
This show is not politically correct.

377
0:28:14 --> 0:28:17
I have no intention of being politically correct.

378
0:28:17 --> 0:28:21
And I love certain addictions including my addiction to great coffee,

379
0:28:26 --> 0:28:28
my addiction to exercise, my addiction to reading,

380
0:28:29 --> 0:28:35
and my addiction to certain other unmentionable in public type behaviours.

381
0:28:35 --> 0:28:36
Who would know what they are?

382
0:28:37 --> 0:28:42
This show definitely subscribes to the view that we have a spiritual life.

383
0:28:42 --> 0:28:47
So if you don't like discussion of spirituality, this show is not for you.

384
0:28:48 --> 0:28:52
I promise you that I don't include anything in this show that I don't consider to be true

385
0:28:52 --> 0:28:58
and that I have not found to be useful in the work that I've done over the past 28 years,

386
0:28:58 --> 0:29:03
but also over the past 50 years in business as a lawyer, as a consultant advisor.

387
0:29:04 --> 0:29:08
I only want to share stuff with you that is of value to you.

388
0:29:08 --> 0:29:12
Finally, if you have any questions or suggestions,

389
0:29:12 --> 0:29:15
please feel free to contact me at Charles at Covest.com.

390
0:29:15 --> 0:29:18
Again, thanks for watching and listening to my show.

391
0:29:18 --> 0:29:26
Bye.
