1
00:00:29,471 --> 00:00:32,426
Ok, like, so, you know...
2
00:00:32,426 --> 00:00:33,995
If we're fighting, right...
3
00:00:33,995 --> 00:00:35,843
and I come in for a punch...
4
00:00:35,843 --> 00:00:38,092
-Oh!
5
00:00:38,092 --> 00:00:40,514
Do not kick me in the nuts.
6
00:00:40,684 --> 00:00:43,235
Waking. Here I am.
7
00:00:43,235 --> 00:00:45,956
Sleeping. Here I am.
8
00:00:45,957 --> 00:00:48,581
Dreaming. Here I am.
9
00:00:48,583 --> 00:00:51,393
Waking, sleeping, dreaming.
Here I am.
10
00:00:51,394 --> 00:00:53,361
Always I was here.
11
00:00:53,361 --> 00:00:54,985
Now I speak to you.
12
00:00:54,987 --> 00:00:56,455
Just have no fear.
13
00:00:56,465 --> 00:00:58,792
You don't know how much you miss
14
00:00:58,791 --> 00:01:00,143
by not knowing yourself.
15
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:01,651
Do you run the risk?
16
00:01:01,651 --> 00:01:05,126
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
17
00:01:05,126 --> 00:01:08,393
and will never fade away.
18
00:01:08,394 --> 00:01:10,394
Never fade away.
19
00:01:12,074 --> 00:01:15,237
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
20
00:01:15,238 --> 00:01:18,681
and will never fade away.
21
00:01:18,691 --> 00:01:20,691
Never fade away.
22
00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:25,166
Here I am.
23
00:01:26,016 --> 00:01:27,836
Here I am.
24
00:01:28,602 --> 00:01:30,492
Here I am.
25
00:01:31,284 --> 00:01:32,509
Here I am.
26
00:01:47,846 --> 00:01:51,781
Well, where I am now is
I'm currently at Fight Club
27
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,523
And what we're doing here is...
My job is to come down here...
28
00:01:56,524 --> 00:01:58,857
What happens is there's people
going inside the shooting gallery.
29
00:01:58,857 --> 00:02:03,652
And they shoot up with alcohol, and
they posture and try to find a mate.
30
00:02:03,766 --> 00:02:06,335
And when they've been unsuccessfull
with their mating habits,
31
00:02:06,340 --> 00:02:08,648
they come out into the parking lot
and try to kill eachother.
32
00:02:08,705 --> 00:02:13,549
So it's my job to stop them from killing
eachother, using a minimal amount of force.
33
00:02:13,549 --> 00:02:16,611
And the problem is that there's a lot
of cocaine and steroids involved here,
34
00:02:16,625 --> 00:02:20,495
so you get a lot of really big guys,
who luckily are not trying to kill me,
35
00:02:20,495 --> 00:02:22,015
but they're trying to kill each other.
36
00:02:22,166 --> 00:02:24,474
And then we prevent them from doing that,
so that's a problem.
37
00:02:24,636 --> 00:02:30,346
So that's generally what I do for,
just to keep it real.
38
00:02:30,346 --> 00:02:33,518
To make sure that you understand that
there's no bullshit on the concrete, you know?
39
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:36,538
And I think that anyone who's ever been
involved in any kind of law enforcement
40
00:02:36,538 --> 00:02:40,515
or making policy regarding law enforecement,
should probably come out and do something
41
00:02:40,515 --> 00:02:42,824
like this once in a while just to,
you know, keep it real,
42
00:02:42,827 --> 00:02:47,149
so they see what's really
happening on the ground.
43
00:02:58,338 --> 00:03:00,338
This is our newest news letter.
44
00:03:00,338 --> 00:03:03,297
It came out yesterday morning, so...
-Are you guys local here?
45
00:03:03,297 --> 00:03:05,542
Yeah we're an anti war coalision of Vancouver.
46
00:03:05,542 --> 00:03:09,676
We've got about 50 member groups,
and we work a lot on campuses
47
00:03:09,676 --> 00:03:13,124
and in outlying areas as well as
in Vancouver proper, but...
48
00:03:13,124 --> 00:03:19,273
It's got an article on the war resistors and
one of the speakers, Brandon Hughey,
49
00:03:19,273 --> 00:03:23,179
he spoke today and he's trying to
get refuge status in Canada.
50
00:03:23,179 --> 00:03:29,036
He deserted from the U.S. army
when he was denied a discharge.
51
00:03:29,037 --> 00:03:32,649
Yeah, they're trying to
dispute it on the basis that
52
00:03:32,649 --> 00:03:34,877
he should go back to the states
and go be in prison.
53
00:03:34,876 --> 00:03:38,356
So you are, just for everyone
who didn't catch this, you are...?
54
00:03:38,357 --> 00:03:40,238
What's your gig? What's your story?
55
00:03:40,238 --> 00:03:43,590
I came to Canada because I've been given
56
00:03:43,590 --> 00:03:45,567
orders to participate in the invasion of Iraq,
57
00:03:45,567 --> 00:03:48,108
and I told my commanding officers
I didn't think it was right,
58
00:03:48,108 --> 00:03:52,231
and I was refused the discharge,
so I saw this as my only option.
59
00:03:52,231 --> 00:03:55,130
-Ok, and what did you do when you were in?
60
00:03:55,153 --> 00:03:58,860
-I was trained as a tank driver but they
stationed me in headquarters
61
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,539
of the first cavalry division,
so I didn't have a specific job.
62
00:04:01,539 --> 00:04:02,713
I just did what I was told to do.
-Right.
63
00:04:02,713 --> 00:04:06,043
Yeah, that happens.
OK, and what about...
64
00:04:06,042 --> 00:04:10,152
So you're a refuge now I guess?
-A refuge claimant.
65
00:04:10,153 --> 00:04:13,165
-And they're going to decide on that one?
-The claim is still pending.
66
00:04:13,165 --> 00:04:14,934
-So, where are you from originally,
if you don't mind me asking?
67
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:17,541
-Ok, originally, I'm from San Angelo, Texas.
68
00:04:17,541 --> 00:04:20,680
-So you're a long way from home?
-Yeah, a little bit so.
69
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,328
-That must be hard on your...
How's the family with all of this?
70
00:04:23,328 --> 00:04:24,348
Are they supporting you?
71
00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:26,563
-Yeah, it's just been hard
to reach my family, though...
72
00:04:26,563 --> 00:04:28,254
-I guess so.
-Yeah
73
00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:30,837
-That's a long way.
I was down in Texas, I was in...
74
00:04:30,838 --> 00:04:31,819
Where was I now?
75
00:04:31,819 --> 00:04:34,867
I was down in the Gulf of Mexico for
a little while there, but that's all right.
76
00:04:34,867 --> 00:04:37,793
Well, you know what, chief?
I hope you make it.
77
00:04:37,793 --> 00:04:41,226
Because I don't think anybody should
go to war that doesn't want it.
78
00:04:41,226 --> 00:04:43,070
You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
79
00:04:43,118 --> 00:04:45,679
-You know I got...
Sometimes I get conflicting views and stuff,
80
00:04:45,681 --> 00:04:48,218
but if you don't want to be there,
you shouldn't be there.
81
00:04:48,219 --> 00:04:49,767
I hope you get it right.
82
00:04:49,799 --> 00:04:51,498
Take it easy.
83
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:54,760
I have sat two ten day of
84
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,755
aposna meditation courses
85
00:04:55,755 --> 00:04:58,534
in the tradition of theraphy to buddhism.
86
00:04:58,534 --> 00:05:00,701
I have sat multiple sazen sessions at
87
00:05:00,701 --> 00:05:02,337
the Zen mountain monastery
88
00:05:02,336 --> 00:05:06,179
including personal training from
resident monks in the Berkshire mountain.
89
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:12,146
My history also includes two years of aikido
training in the styles of kokikai and aikikai
90
00:05:12,174 --> 00:05:15,270
as well as over a decade
of mind and body practice
91
00:05:15,270 --> 00:05:18,226
My father crafts meditation benches by hand.
92
00:05:18,226 --> 00:05:23,964
and have taught me multiple techniques
through very intensive training.
93
00:05:24,961 --> 00:05:26,953
I've never meditated before.
94
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:28,198
I've done some reading on it.
95
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:30,972
I've tried to do some meditation once or twice,
96
00:05:30,972 --> 00:05:32,610
but I wasn't sure if I was doing it right.
97
00:05:33,202 --> 00:05:35,900
So my whole intention here is too...
98
00:05:35,901 --> 00:05:38,402
I mean there's nothing to really
stop you from sitting there, right?
99
00:05:38,402 --> 00:05:41,048
I mean you're sitting there.
All you've got to do is sit.
100
00:05:41,229 --> 00:05:43,597
And the way I see it is that
the more you try to do stuff,
101
00:05:43,597 --> 00:05:46,050
then you just kind of cause yourself
to be tied up in knots.
102
00:05:46,050 --> 00:05:50,964
So my whole strategy going into this is to
sit there longer than he does
103
00:05:50,964 --> 00:05:54,611
and the only way I'm going to
get by that is to sort of just
104
00:05:55,049 --> 00:05:59,149
in essence play like you're dead
and release everything.
105
00:05:59,149 --> 00:06:01,421
That pretty much what I got out of
the books I thumbed through.
106
00:06:01,421 --> 00:06:05,146
I got "The three pillars of zen" but I never
read it so we'll see how that goes.
107
00:10:52,877 --> 00:10:55,720
Really blue, just like blue wash and everything
108
00:10:55,721 --> 00:10:58,092
because the sunlight on the eyes
cuts out all the blue.
109
00:10:58,098 --> 00:11:01,536
-Take a look at this, holy shit!
110
00:11:02,969 --> 00:11:06,724
-Yeah I figured that would be what
did you in was the fucking concrete, eh?
111
00:11:07,761 --> 00:11:09,761
Ouch, dude.
112
00:11:13,283 --> 00:11:14,661
-You are strong.
113
00:11:14,663 --> 00:11:18,170
-I didn't think about anything, that's the
whole point, if you try to think about stuff...
114
00:11:18,185 --> 00:11:20,366
I got into this weird mantra there
where I was going
115
00:11:20,366 --> 00:11:23,272
"Just release it, release it, release it..."
in my head.
116
00:11:23,272 --> 00:11:26,313
And then actually, I kind of felt the sound
of the water kind of come over,
117
00:11:26,313 --> 00:11:27,871
and everything kind of slurred up for a minute.
118
00:11:27,871 --> 00:11:30,257
I almost felt like I was passing out
for a second there.
119
00:11:30,257 --> 00:11:33,428
I lost all sense of time whatsoever,
like, there was no...
120
00:11:33,428 --> 00:11:35,315
I couldn't tell you if you were
there for five minutes,
121
00:11:35,315 --> 00:11:37,912
ten minutes, fifteen minutes,
I have no idea.
122
00:11:40,895 --> 00:11:42,933
-Zen fighting.
-One shall remain.
123
00:11:43,047 --> 00:11:46,063
One of the reasons why you always
wanna have a GPS with you
124
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:47,952
is so you can mark the location
125
00:11:47,952 --> 00:11:49,136
of buildings in the city
126
00:11:49,135 --> 00:11:50,303
that you want to remember.
127
00:11:50,304 --> 00:11:51,890
Like this building, for example.
128
00:11:51,904 --> 00:11:53,859
This is the "Murian rectifier station".
129
00:11:53,859 --> 00:11:56,145
What that mean, I have no idea.
130
00:11:56,145 --> 00:11:59,672
But the building has no windows
on it what so ever.
131
00:11:59,671 --> 00:12:04,444
After closer inspection we discover that it has
a lot of power switches and stuff due to,
132
00:12:04,445 --> 00:12:07,180
infrastructure for the city, goes on
in this particular building.
133
00:12:07,197 --> 00:12:09,705
What I'm interested in is
actually the building itself.
134
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:13,971
We got stone, brickwork and
iron fence protecting the brickwork.
135
00:12:13,994 --> 00:12:16,978
There is no free access,
clear way to the rooftop.
136
00:12:16,982 --> 00:12:18,281
Fantastic!
137
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:22,490
Now, in case of rapture, alien invasion,
a place where you need to have a solid place
138
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:26,520
to go where you can hunker down and wait
it out, this building is just about perfect.
139
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,127
Not a lot of windows.
140
00:12:28,128 --> 00:12:31,070
George A. Romero couldn't get into
this building, let me tell you.
141
00:12:31,070 --> 00:12:34,457
So all you gotta do is mark these
locations on your GPS,
142
00:12:34,507 --> 00:12:36,462
and then we could start
getting them all together.
143
00:12:36,462 --> 00:12:38,236
Coming up with good locations in each city.
144
00:12:38,236 --> 00:12:40,531
In Vancouver there'd be so many
different GPS grid coordinates,
145
00:12:40,531 --> 00:12:43,616
where Wogs would go and take over
the cities when the rapture comes.
146
00:12:43,616 --> 00:12:44,683
Or whatever happens.
147
00:12:44,691 --> 00:12:47,911
I mean, sure, the likelihood of the
rapture happening is very, very low,
148
00:12:47,923 --> 00:12:50,126
but having those GPS grid
coordinates is kind of like...
149
00:12:50,147 --> 00:12:53,678
If you had them and you didn't need them,
that would be OK.
150
00:12:53,678 --> 00:12:58,504
But if you needed those GPS grid coordinates
and you didn't have them, that would suck!
151
00:13:00,146 --> 00:13:05,470
The other day I was at the mall and
I was walking through this store,
152
00:13:05,469 --> 00:13:07,947
you know one of those big box stores,
153
00:13:07,947 --> 00:13:13,182
and walking the other way was this guy,
154
00:13:13,182 --> 00:13:15,147
he was about 5'7"
155
00:13:15,148 --> 00:13:20,965
and he looked like he was about 57,
156
00:13:21,455 --> 00:13:25,814
and his face was super leathery and he had
a Canadian airborne regiment cap on, now,
157
00:13:25,814 --> 00:13:30,467
the thing is that the Canadian airborne
regiment caps can only be bought in one place,
158
00:13:30,467 --> 00:13:33,788
those particular caps,
and it's in Petawawa, so...
159
00:13:35,044 --> 00:13:38,241
He was, I could tell by looking at him that
he was one of the airborne regiment
160
00:13:38,242 --> 00:13:40,385
cause I've seen them before, you know?
161
00:13:40,388 --> 00:13:43,572
And he had the handlebar moustache.
You know, that's a big thing.
162
00:13:43,573 --> 00:13:47,503
When you decided to make the lifetime
commitment to the canadian army,
163
00:13:47,513 --> 00:13:51,101
that's the mohawk in the canadian army,
is the handlebar moustache, you know?
164
00:13:51,101 --> 00:13:53,916
When you're a lifer,
that's what you get, you know.
165
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:56,322
He had the airborne cap on, so he was...
166
00:13:56,322 --> 00:13:59,363
And you could tell by looking at this guy,
you know, like...
167
00:14:01,023 --> 00:14:05,719
So I talk to him for a bit, he told me
about all the marches he'd been on,
168
00:14:05,719 --> 00:14:10,090
and his time in the commando groups and
everything, and there he was in the Sears,
169
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:14,776
just buying a belt and stuff in the
bargain bin and stuff like that
170
00:14:14,797 --> 00:14:16,539
and I thought that was kind of sad.
171
00:14:16,786 --> 00:14:23,228
You know, here's this hero,
really, you know, I mean.
172
00:14:23,334 --> 00:14:30,522
This is the guy who had his youth and his
body robbed from him through suffering
173
00:14:30,572 --> 00:14:34,636
and through harsh winds, through extreme
environments, for the good of his country.
174
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:42,388
And here he is in Sears, in the bargain bin,
trying to buy a belt.
175
00:14:42,857 --> 00:14:44,833
That's not right.
176
00:14:44,952 --> 00:14:49,953
You know, you think that, if you were
at least going to give in to that,
177
00:14:49,953 --> 00:14:53,929
you we're going to be an airbone ranger,
if you're going to be in the special forces
178
00:14:53,929 --> 00:15:00,318
of any country, of any army, you know,
you should be, I don't know,
179
00:15:00,318 --> 00:15:03,545
you just shouldn't be scrounging
around in bargain bins, you know?
180
00:15:03,545 --> 00:15:05,750
It just doesn't seem right somehow.
181
00:15:06,195 --> 00:15:09,353
That made me think an awful lot about
the padgeantry of the army.
182
00:15:09,353 --> 00:15:10,766
You got all these ribbons...
183
00:15:10,766 --> 00:15:14,241
And Napoleon even said "I make people die
for me, just for these ribbons", you know.
184
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:18,120
And young men, they want to prove that
they're men, they want to prove that they
185
00:15:18,121 --> 00:15:21,025
can go out into the bush and kill the bear
and anoint themselves with the blood
186
00:15:21,025 --> 00:15:22,252
and "Then we'll be men!", you know?
187
00:15:22,252 --> 00:15:27,707
And we'll be respected and feared and
loved and all that, it's all bullshit.
188
00:15:28,002 --> 00:15:35,989
It's all this weird image thing that we've got
and this is in no way about the guy.
189
00:15:36,099 --> 00:15:39,642
I don't want to mention him
by name because he was...
190
00:15:39,654 --> 00:15:43,412
He was... I've met a ton of guys
like them, you know?
191
00:15:43,412 --> 00:15:47,505
And he was so fiercely proud of what he was.
192
00:15:48,103 --> 00:15:50,902
And that's cool, I guess.
Why not?
193
00:15:50,902 --> 00:15:53,991
But it just seemed to me that
he kind of got ripped off.
194
00:15:54,366 --> 00:15:58,128
Let's take everything that you are.
That you were born into this world.
195
00:15:58,129 --> 00:16:02,854
At one point when you were
a gentle person, a loving person
196
00:16:02,876 --> 00:16:06,861
who maybe were married at one time
and you loved your wife,
197
00:16:06,939 --> 00:16:11,766
and now that's gone because you
got dragged through several countries
198
00:16:11,766 --> 00:16:17,876
and made thrown out of planes
and trained every day to kill people.
199
00:16:17,929 --> 00:16:22,388
It takes a certain kind of damage to
train people every day to kill people.
200
00:16:22,389 --> 00:16:25,031
It's not like the video games
where you're running around
201
00:16:25,031 --> 00:16:26,830
with two hundred pounds of gear on
202
00:16:26,830 --> 00:16:30,439
and you run through the desert and streets of
Mogadishu and shooting guys with your MP5
203
00:16:30,439 --> 00:16:35,453
and you get shot and you respawn.
No man. The med-kits don't work that fast.
204
00:16:36,013 --> 00:16:39,552
The joint damage comes over time
and your back goes and your knees goes
205
00:16:39,553 --> 00:16:42,278
and before you know it,
you're walking with a cane.
206
00:16:42,379 --> 00:16:49,083
But you're Airbourne, until you remuster to
become a cook so you can finish out your tour,
207
00:16:49,084 --> 00:16:53,923
maybe end as a store clerk,
get your pension which they cut you on.
208
00:16:54,167 --> 00:16:58,450
And with your pension you're going to wind up in
the Sears, looking in the bargain basement bin.
209
00:16:58,864 --> 00:17:01,325
So what do you do? Do you bin it?
Do you just bin the whole thing,
210
00:17:01,325 --> 00:17:04,006
You say: "Screw it! Screw the army!
Screw the honour of our lives!
211
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:08,012
Screw the honour of our nation!
Screw the pageantry of the military!"
212
00:17:08,012 --> 00:17:14,117
Yeah, fuck the pageantry,
and fuck the military too.
213
00:17:14,117 --> 00:17:19,227
Because there's a lot of really
good people in the army
214
00:17:19,227 --> 00:17:21,645
who are getting really, really messed over.
215
00:17:21,644 --> 00:17:26,386
And they believe in the country and they believe
in the ideas of freedom and stuff like that.
216
00:17:26,387 --> 00:17:30,806
But the Money, all of the corporations
and stuff, they're moving in on everything
217
00:17:30,806 --> 00:17:36,515
and everybody wants that almighty
dollar and they're costing
218
00:17:36,515 --> 00:17:40,043
the blood of our best, for money.
219
00:17:40,766 --> 00:17:48,034
I don't know what the answer is, but
don't join the army, guys. Don't do it.
220
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:54,737
It's not what you think,
and it's not what they show you on TV either.
221
00:17:55,910 --> 00:17:58,926
And you will stop being everything that you are.
222
00:18:00,295 --> 00:18:02,524
Maybe you can come out of it ahead.
223
00:18:02,572 --> 00:18:06,604
A lot of people go: "But Sean, you were
in the army!". Yeah. Yeah, I was, yeah.
224
00:18:06,607 --> 00:18:12,347
I was in the air assault regiment,
or battery, and it was a rough go
225
00:18:12,347 --> 00:18:16,333
and anyone who was there with me
they know I had a hard time with it.
226
00:18:16,787 --> 00:18:20,651
But at the end of the day, I met
a lot of really interesting guys
227
00:18:20,673 --> 00:18:24,512
and before you settle in an orchard,
you might want to check the fruit on the trees.
228
00:18:24,737 --> 00:18:28,568
But I'm here to tell you,
there's nothing really good to see there.
229
00:18:29,436 --> 00:18:31,412
I just don't want to see...
230
00:18:31,473 --> 00:18:35,824
I'd like people to have a little more
than just a bunch of pins
231
00:18:35,824 --> 00:18:39,184
on an old trucker cap
that got painted a certain way.
232
00:18:39,395 --> 00:18:44,007
I'd like people to be themselves
and express themselves
233
00:18:44,007 --> 00:18:47,901
rather than buying into the handlebar moustache.
234
00:18:48,531 --> 00:18:52,679
I'm just Sean Kennedy, you know?
Im just one guy, what do I know?
235
00:18:53,488 --> 00:18:56,504
But that's my take on it.
236
00:18:59,009 --> 00:19:01,687
All is the Self, all is myself.
237
00:19:01,687 --> 00:19:04,576
All is you and yours.
There's nobody else.
238
00:19:04,576 --> 00:19:06,509
I am one and appear as many.
239
00:19:06,856 --> 00:19:09,295
I am one and appear as many.
240
00:19:09,295 --> 00:19:12,095
All is the Self, all is myself.
241
00:19:12,096 --> 00:19:15,076
All is you and yours.
There's nobody else.
242
00:19:15,076 --> 00:19:16,976
I am one and appear as many.
243
00:19:17,294 --> 00:19:19,639
I am one and appear as many.
244
00:19:19,642 --> 00:19:22,787
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
245
00:19:22,788 --> 00:19:26,455
and will never fade away.
246
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:28,556
Never fade away.
247
00:19:30,096 --> 00:19:33,192
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
248
00:19:33,209 --> 00:19:36,570
and will never fade away.
249
00:19:36,605 --> 00:19:39,686
Never fade away.
250
00:19:50,485 --> 00:19:52,075
They are the three states,

251
00:19:52,076 --> 00:19:54,210
waking, sleeping, dreaming,
Subtitles by Sane Traitor
252
00:19:54,209 --> 00:19:56,241
in which the One's aware.
Subtitles by Sane Traitor
253
00:19:56,242 --> 00:19:58,460
The common fact: I am,
Subtitles by Sane Traitor
254
00:19:58,460 --> 00:20:01,187
the feeling's always there.
Subtitles by Sane Traitor
255
00:20:01,187 --> 00:20:04,359
The world is like a sheet of paper
Subtitles by Sane Traitor
256
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,359
on which something's typed.

The meaning and the reading...
