Changing our inner lenses

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.839
It sometimes sounds
like science fiction

2
00:00:01.839 --> 00:00:04.919
but I truly believe
that as human beings

3
00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.160
we can shape our own reality

4
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:09.880
in that sense of being
aware of that lens.

5
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.320
And my evidence of this
is as a white power skinhead

6
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.400
my lens told me that

7
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.559
white people were different
than everyone else

8
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:19.280
better than everyone else

9
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.839
and at the same time in
danger of being wiped out

10
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.239
by everyone else in this world
of fear and hate and ignorance.

11
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.920
And simply changing that lens,

12
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.640
the one that sees the best
in all human beings

13
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.359
and the best in life,

14
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.679
change the way
that I experience the world.

15
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.280
And it literally changed
everything in the world around me

16
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.560
even though it was
me that changed.
