 What is the number one guaranteed method to make depression, anxiety, all types of human suffering disappear? Drumroll. There isn't one. Ta-da! There are as many ways to hear from pain and suffering as there are people and that's why here at Mental Wealth TV we like to talk with people from a whole range of backgrounds and all walks of life because there's something for everybody here and I had the great pleasure recently to sit down with a very special guest, my dear friend Hanshi, Dina and I do, one of the world's leading karate masters and I wanted to talk to him about how he helps thousands of people around the world in over 54 countries heal from suffering and pain and helps them build their character and their lives and definitely a very exciting interview. What you will like about this interview is that Hanshi Dina is a wonderful storyteller and of course he kept his best story for last so you want to stick around right to the end Without further ado, here is my interview with Hanshi Dina and I do. Enjoy! So I have the pleasure of introducing you to my friend Hanshi Dina and I do. I met Dina a long time ago, many years ago and it was almost an immediate friendship and we got talking and we never thought that years later I would be interviewing him from one side of the world to another side of the world I'm here in Spain, Costa del Sol and Hanshi happens to be in Sydney so that's a long way and since then Hanshi Dina and I do has had podcasts and videos that have gone right through the world. I believe your podcasts have touched the people in 54 countries over with that. How many people would you say is it going to? I didn't even calculate it but it's quite a number. Quite a number, yeah okay and your main objective is if I gather correctly and this is what this is about getting to know you is your main objective is to help people people suffering. When people are suffering you care about that and you want people to be happier. Is that correct? Absolutely, it's about helping, it's about service to humanity, making people, we all have the potential to become better. It's just the proper guidance and the influence and you know people need assistance in understanding themselves. So my idea is firstly to help people understand themselves in so doing they will be able to improve their life. In my karate I'm you know one of the very few karate teachers that teaches kiazu for instance and kiazu is about human values, community values, character development so my idea is to help humanity become better. In the interest of transparency I mean my wife when she was a little girl she actually studied with you she went to karate with you and one of the things that she tells me all the time is that with sensei at the time you were sensei there you're hanshi but at the time she said with sensei we did a lot of talking about spirituality and about morality and about living the right life she says that was just as important as knowing how to kick and how knowing your katas and knowing how to punch. So no wonder we we get along so famously well you and I because we have basically the same quest although we approach it a little bit differently but we do we are interested both of us in helping people suffer less or being able to manage their suffering because life is about suffering and also knowing how to live life in a way that they thrive and they can be happy while they're doing it and have a sense of purpose that's something that that I admire about you it is this strong sense of purpose and I think you do that really well but before we're rushing to all these things I just want to get people to know you a little bit I mean what's your what's your story let's go back yeah I just want to before I say that I just want to say mental wealth is about the richness of the soul absolutely it's a discovery that the soul is rich it's wealthy it's rich right so when you look at the word soul support on uplifting life that's what I call it support an uplifting life so this is what you do and this is what we do we support to uplift life because we discovered that every human being has this riches as well but they can't discover it so we help them to find it within themselves that's very nicely said yeah absolutely good so um before we go on with your story because I think what's important I want people to understand um hanshi hanshi is what does it mean hanshi means grand master now as you know in karate you achieve you know the q-gradings which is the learning stages of a student and then you become a black belt which is first dan then as you travel along this journey which is up to tenth dan so each dan grading represents something so when you reach third dan you're a sensei and when you reach fourth dan you're a professor and so so what happens is people progress through the ranks and when you reach uh eight dan nine dan and tenth dan you become a master of the arts so the title hanshi means master master of the arts grand master I would say so the grand master of karate so I've reached that I've been given that title by fuji moto heroshi hanshi which was a japanese master and tino sabrano hanshi who is the australian father of karate so both these gentlemen have got together and have given me that recognition of grand master so it's the highest ranking in the karate world congratulations congratulations a lot of work has gone through it you know I did a lot of work I started training at 11 years old you know non-stop till I'm now 73 and I'm still training and and love it like the first day I got into the art well so it basically took you over 60 years to get to hanshi so it's a big deal yeah 60 years of dedication love you know fortitude and you know reaching but my main objective to be honest with you my main objective is to help people so the more it's not about you know walking around with a garland wrong my neck saying I'm hanshi you respect me it's more about delivering a service towards humanity to help humanity develop so karate is the means I use to help uh human beings develop so and that's what I do that's great that's great how many hanshis would you say there are in the world though you mean living once yes preferably living yes you know there's a lot of hanshis in the world but not genuine hanshis they're real hanshis like you know when people are given titles by another hanshi another grand master so I would say you know there's only about 10 hanshis in the entire world okay so it is a fairly big deal um in the karate world so I just wanted people to understand that that you not just a do-gooder trying to you know off the cuff but you have trained for this you have been recognized by your peers as somebody that carries themselves with the authority to be one of the few hanshis in out of seven billion people only 10 10 hanshis of this kind it is it's a big honor it's a big um it's a big reputational aspect to your to your advice so one of the things that in in mental health we do through the mental health the workplace mental health institute wmh i we're firm believers that there's not one size that fits all so it's not just um people find the healing through many different ways some of them are evidence-based what we would call in academia evidence-based but you know the majority of people find healing outside of that and they believe that some people find healing through karate or the spiritual teachings of karate or some other techniques that you you you bring on board so tell us a little bit about your story now i'm getting back to the original question tell us a little bit about your story you were born in in south africa born in south africa 1949 on the 16th of january at 3 a.m in the morning now there was a riot there was a riot in the country where you know two races were were in conflict and my mother gave birth to me out of fear so i was born four months premature now my father was a police officer he couldn't attend to my mom so this poor lady was by herself and i just dropped out and we were taken to my grandmother's house adopted grandmother would took care of me she sent her chauffeur to pick up my mom and myself and that's how i survived in south africa and of course south africa being the country it is and you've been to johnsburg um in the old days it wasn't safe at all and um so there was a lot of violence and i grew up in an environment of violence so i learned you know how to use a knife i learned how to use a gun and i learned karate so i got very equipped i would say very equipped to to handle myself so i've been in a number of of situations where i had to protect myself against one two ten twenty people so karate saved me and if i hadn't done karate i wouldn't have been here today i would have been bedded a long time ago karate taught me you know the physical uh aspect of defense it also taught me character development right so i learned both both to keep in balance you know the physical ability to defend as well as the character to also to protect yourself because i've learned that goodness is the tool that protects the good right so i developed this this attitude and thanks to my teacher gogan yamaguchi that i went to see in japan and lived with him and trained under him and he guided me to develop good character okay so you're waiting for the fighting aspect and then kind of stayed because of the character aspect exactly right i went there to become a bit of fighter and i came back being a better person i suppose you know right in your opinion i mean in your opinion is the world class opinion what makes a good fighter well a good fighter is a fighter that has no fear you know if you have no fear you become a good fighter you know i stand with my students sometimes and i have fighting with them and they stand in front of me i won the battle already because they're not sure what i'm going to do and they think in their head oh i'm facing anchi he's gonna kill me so immediately their confidence is dropped and i just walk all over them it's easy for me to do and also karate is has developed in me the sense of awareness you know the sixth sensibility of being able to read your opponent like i showed them last night how to read your opponent and know exactly what they were they are going to do so karate has helped me develop to be able to read people like you for instance if you are meeting a client for the first time or you're meeting somebody for the first time just by the facial expression you know the kind of character that person is whether it's a likeable person or not a likeable person whether you can work with this person or you can't work with this person so just by looking at somebody's face the energy that they give off will tell you exactly the kind of people they are so karate we learn to read people we learn to read very good and the kind of character that you are do you have competitions do you go in competitions do you that's a good question the organization that i was connected with in japan gojukai my teacher originally started competition because he wants to make karate popular so he developed competition and this was an error on his part it was an error he told me i made a mistake he said i made i created a monster i couldn't kill what he didn't realize at the time that in when they brought in competition the ego started to develop and with the result people wanted to be a winner at all costs so they become winners at all costs which means hurting the opponent or doing something that's not legal so this kind of mentality this ego of easing goodness out uh disappears you know you you have an ego that you want to be better than everybody else and we know that nobody's better than anybody we're all the same so i did not do competition i don't do competition i teach traditional karate i teach self-defense i teach character development okay yeah and i guess that's working out for your students as well yeah my students worldwide enjoy the kind of teachings i got look i'm not worried about 90 percent of the people in the world i'm only thinking about 10 percent i only want to educate 10 percent of the world i've done my job so if i can reach out to 10 percent of the population and teach them how to develop good character i've done my work okay so what is good character good character is think good be good do good equals live good so your thoughts what your head things must be examined by the heart and done with the hand i call that the 3h right in order to be successful 3h equals ga to the power of s what does that mean 3h is head heart and hand so what the head things must be examined with the heart and then done with the hands that's the 3h equals ga which is goal achieved and and s is the power of success to be successful these this is what we need okay and how would you define success i mean i ask you both as a hanshi and as a human being that has been trying to teach people this for so long since you were 11 you were in contact with this now you're 73 that's a long time what is success for hanshi dina and i do right success is achieving your goals my goal is to be the best human being i can be to be ideal as a husband to be a high deal as a father to be ideal as a grandfather to be ideal as a son a friend a person of of this community this country the world this is success for me when i become an ideal person in all the roles i play i am successful great so this this is great for um i would imagine people that are healthy for example people that want to achieve goals and that's not always the case that's not always the case the people that come to you sometimes i would imagine that they're not well um some of them i imagine through over the years would have come to you with mental health issues and what what have you found in with with this type types is such bad with these individuals with these human beings that are suffering that deserve our compassion um what have you found were some of the problems that they were presenting to you with what was the the quintessential problem from your point of view this is why we're talking to you because we want your your unique point of view what is the difference between one person and the other there's nothing that is different we are physical beings we have a mind and we have life energy which people turn a spirit we have the three things everybody also everybody you meet has those three things the condition that makes us different is the mind right so when we change our mindset when we change our mindset when we are influenced by people of of greater knowledge of greater understanding or know how to cope with life and we learn the the the keys and the the of how to reach this point to to reach a better state of mental condition right we all become the same so the difference between a person that reaches success and a person that doesn't reach success is the condition of the mind it's a mind and the mind is a powerful tool right i teach sma for instance right i teach seven levels of consciousness so i teach uh the ordinary mind consciousness which is the doing mind when you think of something that you want to do you go and do it that is the ordinary mind when you do habit forming techniques when you're doing things that are repetitive it becomes habit which means it is buried into your subconscious mind for instance like walking is a subconscious action so we have ordinary people use the the ordinary mind consciousness which is the conscious mind the subconscious mind then you have five other levels above it you have for instance a higher mind consciousness which i use in karate the higher mind consciousness is the sixth sense the ability to be able to do things knowing such and such is going to happen like i gave you the example earlier on about when i'm sparring with my student i can read that because i am now using the sense of awareness to be able to do that kind of thing and and of course we reach different levels now when we meet people that have a a mental issue for instance now as you know i work for vision australia now i had a client of mine that was at very little vision he had intellectual difficulties he had he didn't have much cognitive skills and so i took him for a job interview now when i sat in the car with him this guy couldn't even put two lines together and as i took him along towards this place called black town on the way i was educating him about the mind i said to him how much do you need this job and he said very much i really want this job and i said so you really want to do it you're not going to neglect this job you're going to do it getting up every day and traveling to work he says that's not a problem i said so you really need it right so he was really engrossed in this and he and he felt within his consciousness that he needed it so i told him okay now the interviewer is going to ask you these questions and these are these are your answers so in the car i educated this guy now remember this guy couldn't put two words together to make a sentence because he used to stutter his intellectual abilities wasn't good enough but i made him i made him understand that he could do this because he needed this job and this journey took me three quarters of an hour throughout the journey i educated him when he got to the interview and he sat in front of the managing director the managing director asked him a few questions i couldn't believe i was hearing this guy speak his interest and his feeling to get this job surprised me it was like a miracle i didn't know whether it was the same guy speaking he put it all together so well he got the job and the boss said to him start on monday so the condition of the mind is that is what we need to do we need to be able to give people the confidence that they can do it they can do it they can do anything anybody can do anything you can be a multimillionaire or you can be a pop up the only difference is the condition of the mind if you have the enthusiasm to drive yourself you can do anything right if you put in the work behind it right because dream is just an illusion right you're going to make it happen right i did it with paren smith and reman smith yesterday uh these are great footballers absolutely powerful guys i did a thing called the punching technique so i got remas who placed for the melbourne storm very powerful guy is six foot five i'm a dwarf in front of him and i got him to punch a pad that i was holding and he punched it and i said punch hard and he punched hard and he did it three times and i said you hold it and i'm gonna hit it i hit it once and he moved back he said whoa that was amazing now what is the difference between remas and me is the technique all i did he's 10 times more powerful than me but i knew the technique how to do it so mental health mental health is knowing the techniques and this is where you guys come in because you know the techniques what people need to better improve themselves i do it out of karate i make people that are white belts black balls all it takes is the effort takes the effort and the mindset i say you can do it you can do it yeah technique is very important and the right attitude is very important isn't it we talk about mindset which we basically is you know how do you use your mind uh what are your goals what are your your missions what what is it though that you see i mean 73 years in this world it's a long time to to for someone like you that has been reflecting on life consistently and the state of the world what do you see as the biggest problem for our society right now in terms of in terms of mental wealth leaders leaders is the biggest problem we don't have leaders in the world we don't have leaders we we have opportunists and we have egoistic leaders that is only interested in their own well-being and the monetary gain and to demonstrate ego they're not real leaders when we look at real leaders that have passed Mahatma Gandhi for instance or Martin Luther King for instance you know these mother Teresa these were great leaders who lived their life of goodness so today we don't have leaders that are interested in you and me and everybody else all they're interested in how can they win how can they be richer and more powerful and have control you know they've lost that human dignity you know that welfare thinking about other people i'm not a very rich man but i'm a very comfortable man i live a very comfortable life i'm not rich my wife said that if i charge exorbitant amounts of money i would be very wealthy today but where is that wealth going to take me but today i can stand on a platform and nobody can point a finger at me and say that i've done them down or i've cheated them or misled them and that's that's something important isn't it i mean for people to to there's a lack of integrity in the world at the moment at every level it's not just the leaders but the leaders make it compound the problem when when elections are won as a marketing as a marketing gimmick you know whatever whatever people are going to vote for that's what i'll believe in if i if they change in the next five minutes i'll change what i believe in the next five minutes so we have we have entered a an interesting time in human history where the media tells us what to think and there's no more not much more questioning is happening and and and there's a lack of integrity to to stand for and there's also a lack of accountability isn't it i mean we we're here of laws and constitutions and being violated and fraud committed at the highest levels and nothing seems to happen but it's interesting isn't it like the examples that you mentioned like Mahatma Gandhi Mandela Luther King Mother Teresa whatever you think of those individuals maybe they were not saints you know they didn't have to be but they stood for their lives stood for something they stood for something service to humanity is service to the divine so these like that service to humanity is service the divine so these four individuals and of course there were a few others these four individuals was about serving humanity do not want or what Kennedy said do he said something about the country don't depend on the country to do for you you should do for the country or something like that i forget the words ask not ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country i think that's exactly why yeah that's exactly you gotta thank you for that yeah yeah so so what we need to do is what can we do for other human beings not what those human beings can do for us but what can we do for them to improve their life that's what i see i see karate is a tool i see sma is a tool i see kiazza is a tool to improve people so that they lead better lives they become better when they look back and they say i have been a good father i've been a good mother i've been a good husband i've been a good wife and so on and so forth all the roles that they play they can stand back and say on the last breath i did the best i can in all the roles i played what do we take with us when we pass the planet we don't even take our bodies with us we don't take the only thing we take is our experiences and the love that we have in us we take nothing else what do you mean by the love that we have in us what do you mean by that what the okay love in us is to me i call everybody an embodiment of love no matter how bad they are no matter how bad they are they're an embodiment of love that love may be a tiny spark or it may be a bonfire but they still have love the fact that they have life in them that is love so we have come from love we go back to love and we develop love through this process of life that's what i believe in so i call everybody love embodiment of love when i spoke to the nuns in in tokyo i was living with the nuns in tokyo and i said to them i said after listening to their prayers i said you know stop condemning yourself stop saying bad things about yourself and i said you are an embodiment of love you are an embodiment of love you know those nuns were crying they've never heard that before when my when i was a young boy my father called me to the window when you said son come and have a look at this we looked outside the window and there was a notorious guy called norman when norman was the gangster he was a really bad guy he was in and out of jail he was not afraid of anybody and so on and i'm looking at norman norman goes down on his knees takes out his bag in his bag he had some sandwiches and he fed a stray dog a dog that was hungry he gave it his sandwiches now here was a hardened criminal here was a notorious guy and what did it prove he had love in him hmm it's interesting isn't it and how how how do we access that personally but there are two questions here how do we how do we access our intrinsic love because i agree i wholeheartedly agree with your statement we are embodiments of love however how do we access that love that is already there in a more effective way right let me let me tell you a couple of stories here let me tell you a couple of stories now my friend atong jumsai who is a is was a scientist scientist for nasa he developed the landing gear for the mariner that landed on on mars many many years ago right now he's a brilliant mind and he was teaching at the university of thailand so he had 12 students and he was one day out of the blue he spoke about love and one of the girl scientists the young student scientist said professor you talk about love how can you prove it exists we are scientists you have to be able to prove that love exists so he says okay next week we'll do an experiment so the following week he got 24 plants for 12 of his students he gave them two plants each and he said to them and said all right what i want you to do i want you to take this into the green room place one plant on the left side one plant on the right side the plant on the right side i want you to give it a name call it charles dick harry mary whatever you like the one on the left no name what are the plants every three days the same but the ones on the right side i want you to treat it like family i want you to talk to it i want you to tell it the problems i want you to tell it you love it you are affectionate you like it and all that kind of stuff and they said okay so uh he also said to them treat it like your best friend they said all right there's an experiment we'll have a go at it these were quick growing plants three months later he said okay time to check the plants when they walked in the plants on the right side was three times taller than the ones on the left side so you see love exists you know uh professor immortal and people can look at youtube professor immortal he took water a container of water and he put it into 10 little containers and on each one of those containers he named it evil devil bad hitler and then goodness love peace and so on so he had bad names and he had goodness he took a droplet of each of those and put it under the electron microscope and looked underneath what did it look like so all the containers with the good names was beautiful crystals and all ships you can see it on youtube your your listeners can watch it on youtube okay all those bad names were grotesque and ugly but grotesque and ugly so just by words in itself changes the frequency of energy right are you are you saying then that how do we talk to ourselves or the words that come out of our mouths the words we choose can be life giving or death giving absolutely the words you chose so if i said to you i said peter you are a horrible man i just don't like your energy how do you feel you feel hey what is wrong with this guy why would he say something like that but if i said to you hey peter you're such a awesome guy you know you just you're when i see you i radiate with this good feeling i love your company how do you feel then you feel so much better so even even though this is just a play immediately that had a different feel for me words have emotion or when you say words with emotion and i when i say i love you and i really like the way you are as a person it's not just words it's an emotional feeling yes so this emotional feeling has a connection yeah but if i throw bad words of you immediately there's a wall in front and you don't want a connection because you don't want to hear these horrible things how do you personally and i talk to you because you're you're here as the expert they're hanshy how do you make sure that there are good words going around your head well the thing is look everything is energy everything is energy right this whole world the seat that i'm sitting on is energy you know the computer in front of me is energy everything is energy right now i believe i believe sincerely in my heart that every human being every human being is love incarnate so when i talk to this person no matter how bad it is okay let me give you a story to make you understand the story better when i was teaching karate when i was teaching karate i had a parent quite upset with me he was upset because i was reprimanding his kids for bad behavior i said to the guys you mustn't behave badly get down and do some push-ups and i gave them some punishment so the parent was watching this and he was very upset but i was doing it out of love and the father was upset because i was punishing his kids so the next day he came to my martial arts store that i had at rudio and he abused me now there's two things i could have done to this guy assaulted him or forgave him so what i did in my head while he was abusing me i said i forgive you and i love you just in my head without saying any words just in my head so he walked out of my shop very angry two years later i had customers in my shop he walks in tears running down his eyes and he says sensei i'm really sorry for what i did to you two years ago i said that's fine i forgave you the moment you said it that's what love is to be able to forgive immediately you never hold on to that you know revenge digs two graves right revenge digs two graves never be never have this anger never have malice never have these things that are not good for the human spirit we must develop love even for the most the worst person on the planet we have to love them love them love the life energy in them but not the actions you never love a bad action but you love the energy that is in them that life energy in them has to be loved very good and and that's how we externalize it and that's that's a gift isn't it that every time we do that we do a two-folded gift when we we give a gift to the person that we're even the love to and we're also giving ourselves love by giving love you know i mean the one one sure fire method to feel love is by giving it by giving it you know there's too far too many people waiting for people to love me i want people to love me so i can experience love that's not how you experience love you experience love by giving it and that's what you're talking about is a gift and i think that's brilliant i'll give you another quick story i had the captain of a i won't name the the biker gang i had the captain of an the most notorious biker gang he came to see me one day and he said sensei he said sensei i said yes he says i'd like you to train my children i said interesting why me i said there's so many karate schools around why have you brought your kids to me he said i heard about you people talk about you he said i want my children to be like you and not like me so he recognized he recognized something he recognized that his children can be molded and become better human beings from my influence and he hated these influence he hated the way he was as a person he understood love didn't he there's a part of me exactly yeah understood love yeah yeah one one of the issues a lot of people have in in the mental health space is with their thinking their thinking tends to be fairly negative so at some level they're choosing the wrong kind of words to describe the world around them so obviously you're a human being too and as a human being like all of us you you must have had times in which your mind goes negative so how do you notice when that happens and what techniques if do you use maybe it's become automatic so i'm asking you to now think back on your process and what techniques do you use to correct your thinking so it's a powerful kind of thinking rather than a negative hurtful kind of thinking am i making sense is absolutely okay you know they say you you can't stop the birds flying over your head i like that but you can't stop them building a nest on it very good oh i like that yeah you can't stop the birds flying over your head but you can't stop them building a nest on your head right so negative things are everywhere everybody receives negative things but don't be attached to the negative stuff when you attach you become part of the negativity right so i say immediately if i have a negative thought i say those thoughts do not belong to me the moment i say that you know that it's gone the moment i say that those thoughts don't belong to me it's gone so your technique is saying those thoughts don't belong to me i like that yeah and and do you breathe do you do something physical with that are you standing up are you yeah i'm always relaxed no matter what i'm always relaxed and calm and cool about it and i just say when a bad thought comes for instance let us say i'm thinking about something about my neighbor you know making a lot of noise or something you know i say those thoughts don't belong to me he's a great guy don't and you remind yourself that he's a great guy i remind myself and he is a great guy so i shouldn't be thinking those things we don't belong to me hmm so how how we this is an important thing too isn't it how we label the people around us will have a huge impact on their ability to love others and to love ourselves won't it like if i'm thinking my neighbor is the worst person in the world that's gonna that's gonna be a very different feeling to saying my neighbor may have actions i don't approve of however they are the personification of love that's a completely yeah you become what you think you become what you think when you do negative things about somebody else you become that negative stuff if i said to you if i said to you uh for the next five seconds don't think about giraffes what are you gonna do you're gonna make me think about giraffes you just made me think about giraffes how dare you you gave me an impossible command so you become what you think right you become what you think you think negative stuff that energy surrounds you because everything is energy right and immediately the energy around you is negative and then you think more and more things and until you explode and you get angry and you wonder why am i thinking bad things like i said to my students at karate start in the morning don't think about bad things think only good when you start the day with goodness you fill the day with goodness you end the day with goodness you become a tool of goodness so don't spoil your day don't pollute your day by thinking bad things in the morning yeah i completely agree 100% with that in air courses we give people really practical techniques so they can start controlling their mind in such a way that it turns out powerful actions powerful and a powerful what you were calling about before a successful life you know and i imagine that you you you talk about these things in your podcasts i talk about this on my podcast i teach my students at karate you know constantly my sma i run courses sma which is spirit mind awareness sorry sma stands for spirit mind awareness spirit mind awareness mind awareness so i run these courses people can do these courses i do sma meditation i do sma leadership course living with sma knowledge about sma and i also got a new course called the sixth element so these courses are all about helping people to understand life on a deeper level right so we're not spiritual beings we're spiritual doings right spiritual doings very nice what does it mean to you when you hear that when you say that yeah do do everything that is righteous be a righteous person lead a dynamic life which is the lead lead a life of goodness right find little

want to and they can also reach out to you if they if they actually want to um i think it's a very important work that you're doing um dina and um i thank you for that because we need more people in the world doing this work especially these days where things have become a little bit confusing um and there's a lot of pain in the world so how do we how do we step up then ourselves and impact at a global level is that possible just for absolutely i mean you look at this analogy that i got right if if a pond if a pond can be filled with with omelba in 24 days and omelba as you know divides itself into two so one becomes two two becomes four four becomes eight so it takes 24 days for the pond to be full of omelba so we are on the 23rd day which is half full so if each one of us can influence another one other to be a better person than they are help them to become that right on the 24th day the whole world will change and we need the world to change you know i think there's goodness in everybody if we're willing to look for that goodness what is it that we can hold on to and what is it that we can promote in each other um that that will stop that level of of aggression and violence and negativity that is permeating the world it's the mindset it's the mindset you know i'd like to go to every prison in america and britain and everywhere else in australia and go and sit down with the prisoners and tell them you are embodiments of love and help them that's great yeah i love to do that so if there's anybody listening and they have an influence of being able to get mean to any prison in the world anyway to sit down with the most hardened criminals and for me to tell them that the embodiments of love that will change them absolutely absolutely and that that that connection that you just talked about the mindset with the embodiment of the feeling of the embodiment of love is what i call the hard set not the mindset but the hard set when you've linked your mind to your feeling of love that's the hard set you've opened up and you're using now your hard set which is the next level of evolution of course you first got to get this one right and this one and then you can join them into the hard set yes absolutely absolutely great thank you very much has she's been a really a really um pleasant very nice conversation we've talked about our favorite subjects i think that's always a good sign but it's been really enucidating and it's been really informative and thank you for giving us a little bit of an insight into hanshi dina naidu very privileged to have you around hopefully for many many more years i can't believe you're 73 you look so young must be all the good thinking must be all the good thinking all the nice hard set that you put out into the world must be coming back to you you know the amazing thing i just had an accident not so long ago probably five months now i heard about that car smashed me into my garage and i was able to hold a car from crushing me to death the paramedics said you should have been dead we don't know how you lived they found me under the car they had to push a trolley underneath them pick me put me out of the car it was all smashed broken arm and wow but i survived it you know i survived i didn't realize i thought you got your leg got pained or something but no you the whole body i broke my i broke my arm and my body was damaged my ankle was damaged they thought my ankle was split broken into two just twisted the other way but for some reason or the other resetted it itself and there's nothing wrong with the ankle and just my human is was snapped into two which they fixed but uh physically i'm okay i'm physically wow that's that's a very fast recovery good won't you and the funny thing is when i was with the paramedics in the ambulance they gave me drugs to kill the pain right and uh when i had these heavy drugs i started seeing have hallucinations of beautiful colors and all that and i said to the guys i said where can i get some of these drugs i said they are good party drugs yeah i think it's called morphine they should be widely available and you know i had one helicopter two ambulance five police cars two fire brigades all come to rescue me right and then i'm sitting they took me into the ambulance and i said why are you you guys taking me they said to the hospital in an ambulance i said no no no no i believed there's a helicopter take me on the helicopter it sounds like a very good party drug uh it was amazing you would have made a very good wimpy the paramedics was saying the paramedics was saying they've never had a patient that has just come out of the most traumatic accident and laughing all the way to the hospital that's good attitude no wonder you you recover so well which you know that's the last gift that you give us here is that how we think how we connect with a heart can actually help us physically to recover physically this is a well proven fact and we're not making things up this has been a study a study validated study that shows the impact of the mind over our bodies and how recovery takes a very positive attitude everything is possible that's a nice story that's a nice story very nice motivational story to end with great thank you very much dina yeah this is good this is good it's been really really good i i'm i'm going to
