welcome to un connect a podcast
00:00:08
presented by Pearl news Pearl news a
00:00:10
United Nations Affiliated Global News
00:00:12
Network I'm Michael vaugh and I'm Linn
00:00:14
kubri it's great to have you with us
00:00:16
we're talking about the conflict in
00:00:18
Ukraine and looking at these blog posts
00:00:20
by Pearl news they're trying to make
00:00:23
this connection between specific
00:00:24
individuals and these bigger ideas right
00:00:27
it's like they're saying if we look at
00:00:28
these people and really understand what
00:00:30
they represent it could give us new ways
00:00:31
to think about deescalation and peace in
00:00:34
Ukraine the Ukraine conflict is a major
00:00:36
focal point for peace efforts yes first
00:00:39
the sheer human cost is staggering we've
00:00:41
seen a massive humanitarian crisis
00:00:43
unfold and the conflict has implications
00:00:45
far beyond Ukraine's borders for example
00:00:47
it's really disrupted Global Food and
00:00:49
energy supplies which in turn affects
00:00:52
countless people worldwide plus it's a
00:00:54
major point of geopolitical tension and
00:00:56
raises concerns about broader
00:00:58
International stability so it's a
00:01:00
Confluence of humanitarian economic and
00:01:02
geopolitical factors that make this
00:01:04
conflict so critical it seems the
00:01:07
connection as presented in the news and
00:01:09
our source material isn't always
00:01:10
explicitly laid out in a traditional
00:01:12
cause and effect way exactly it's more
00:01:14
of a tapestry being woken connecting
00:01:16
different approaches to Peace So it's a
00:01:18
combination of established expertise
00:01:20
like the kopianan foundation their
00:01:22
insights guide responses to the Ukraine
00:01:24
war unique perspectives like the degrass
00:01:27
Tyson's emphasizing our shared human
00:01:30
experience and this more esoteric
00:01:32
contribution from Master Bo working with
00:01:34
energies which are implied to have a
00:01:36
positive influence the kofen and
00:01:38
Foundation as a non-governmental actor
00:01:41
works by advising governments and
00:01:42
international bodies they advocate for
00:01:45
policies that prioritize both
00:01:46
accountability and also the rebuilding
00:01:48
of trust within communities their
00:01:50
initiatives often involve supporting
00:01:52
local efforts to create inclusive
00:01:54
processes for healing and Justice they
00:01:57
understand that long-term peace comes
00:01:59
from the ground up in terms of past work
00:02:01
the Kofi Anan foundation's extensive
00:02:03
history and diplomacy clearly positions
00:02:05
them as a key player in offering
00:02:07
guidance for current conflicts and Neil
00:02:09
degrass Tyson's focus on science
00:02:10
communication allows him to bring a
00:02:12
broader humanitarian perspective to the
00:02:15
conversation emphasizing our shared
00:02:17
human experience with Master woo the
00:02:19
connection is more about his roles in
00:02:22
working with these energies in Taiwan
00:02:24
which are then implied to have a
00:02:26
positive influence it's less about
00:02:28
traditional leadership style and more
00:02:30
about this energetic
00:02:32
alignment it's fascinating how these
00:02:34
seemingly disperate elements are brought
00:02:36
together under this umbrella of Global
00:02:38
Peace efforts so it's a blend of high
00:02:40
level diplomacy this deeper energetic
00:02:42
work and crucial human considerations
00:02:45
the to Grass Tyson whose perspective is
00:02:47
unique he brings that vital humanitarian
00:02:50
and psychological angle reminding us of
00:02:52
the deep impacts on individuals
00:02:54
especially children highlighting the
00:02:56
long-term consequences of the conflict
00:02:58
you know his ability to break down
00:02:59
complex scientific Concepts that same
00:03:02
Clarity and Reliance on evidence can be
00:03:04
really valuable in understanding
00:03:06
conflict because at its core science is
00:03:08
about observation and logical deduction
00:03:10
and applying that to conflict means
00:03:12
trying to understand the underlying
00:03:14
causes looking at the facts rather than
00:03:16
just reacting emotionally the sources
00:03:18
we've looked at highlight his focus on
00:03:20
the long-term consequences especially
00:03:22
the impact on children which is a very
00:03:24
rational evidence-based concern he's not
00:03:26
offering political opinions but rather
00:03:28
pointing to the human reality so while
00:03:30
emotions and politics are definitely
00:03:31
powerful a rational approach can offer
00:03:34
Clarity it can help identify common
00:03:36
ground and potential Solutions based on
00:03:38
shared human needs it's about bringing a
00:03:41
level of objective analysis to a very
00:03:43
subjective situation which can be a
00:03:45
powerful tool for deescalation and
00:03:47
finding Pathways to peace from the
00:03:49
material we have here he emphasizes how
00:03:51
War disproportionately affects children
00:03:54
he points out that they bear the
00:03:55
long-term consequences and He suggests
00:03:58
future efforts should really address
00:04:00
these impacts he's also curious about
00:04:02
Technology's role in recovery things
00:04:04
like satellite internet and digital
00:04:06
learning tools he sees potential for
00:04:08
digital education and mental health
00:04:09
support comparing this conflict to past
00:04:11
Wars he notes the immense suffering but
00:04:13
he also remains hopeful that Humanity
00:04:15
can learn from these
00:04:17
experiences he encourages documenting
00:04:19
Solutions found in Ukraine so these
00:04:22
lessons can be applied to Future conflix
00:04:24
so while he might not offer specific
00:04:26
diplomatic strategies his insights focus
00:04:28
on the human cost and long-term recovery
00:04:31
which is a really crucial element in any
00:04:33
peace effort his perspective isn't about
00:04:36
geopolitics directly instead it's his
00:04:38
humanitarian and psychological Viewpoint
00:04:41
that's a really thought-provoking
00:04:43
connection it gets at the heart of
00:04:44
Tyson's broader influence the idea of
00:04:47
him as a modern Sage it suggests his
00:04:49
role transcends just science he's seen
00:04:52
as a voice of reason and Clarity
00:04:55
bringing a fact-based perspective to
00:04:57
complex issues which is definitely
00:04:59
relevant to resolving conflict because
00:05:01
often conflicts are fueled by
00:05:03
misinformation or emotionally charged
00:05:05
narratives right so a scientific
00:05:07
approach emphasizes evidence and logical
00:05:10
analysis of the situation it's about
00:05:12
understanding the root causes rather
00:05:13
than just treating the symptoms of
00:05:15
conflict now Master woo whom we're
00:05:18
discussing brings in a different element
00:05:20
the son of a thinging shoy Master he's
00:05:22
presented as a key figure in working
00:05:23
with energy is indeed a toist geomat
00:05:26
specifically aligning and strengthening
00:05:29
taiwan's Dragon meridium the spiritual
00:05:31
energies of the land supposedly for
00:05:33
Global Peace and spiritual awakening so
00:05:35
his contribution is on a more energetic
00:05:37
foundational level he's a master of the
00:05:39
Dragon Meridian Dharma as the text says
00:05:41
firmly rooted in toist Traditions and
00:05:44
understanding of energy now what it
00:05:46
means for master woo to work with energy
00:05:48
and transformation in a context like
00:05:50
Ukraine it's explained in the text that
00:05:52
Master moo works with taiwan's dragon
00:05:54
meridium strengthening its energy is
00:05:56
believed to contribute to Global Peace
00:05:58
so it's not Direct interven ition on the
00:06:00
ground in Ukraine but more about
00:06:02
fostering a positive energetic influence
00:06:04
that has wider effects think of it as
00:06:06
working on a foundational level that
00:06:08
supportive energy can then Ripple
00:06:09
outwards the dragon Meridian as
00:06:12
presented here is like a vital energy
00:06:14
pathway specifically connected to the
00:06:16
island of Taiwan think of it like the
00:06:17
Earth having its own energetic Network
00:06:20
and Taiwan sits on a particular powerful
00:06:21
node in that Network Master wo being a
00:06:24
TOS geomat understands how to work with
00:06:26
this energy he's skilled in finding shuy
00:06:28
and subtle energy balance his work
00:06:30
involves strengthening and aligning this
00:06:32
Dragon Meridian the idea is that a
00:06:34
strong balanced energy in Taiwan can
00:06:36
then have positive Ripple effects
00:06:38
globally almost like sending out
00:06:39
harmonious vibrations now regarding the
00:06:41
idea that spiritual practices don't
00:06:44
directly impact political Wars that's a
00:06:46
Viewpoint many people understandably
00:06:47
hold and on a service level it might
00:06:49
seem that way but the perspective
00:06:51
offered here suggests a more subtle
00:06:53
influence it's not about directly
00:06:54
negotiating treaties through meditation
00:06:57
instead it's about influencing the
00:06:58
underlying energetic environment the
00:07:01
belief is that by fostering positive
00:07:03
energy you can contribute to a more
00:07:05
harmonious Global Consciousness which in
00:07:07
turn can create a better foundation for
00:07:09
peace it's a Less Direct but potentially
00:07:11
more foundational approach it makes you
00:07:13
wonder about concrete instances doesn't
00:07:15
it the texts we're looking at offer some
00:07:17
examples though perhaps not in the way
00:07:19
of traditional historical accounts right
00:07:21
they link events like the end of Assad's
00:07:23
rule in Syria and the Israel Hezbollah
00:07:26
ceasefire in Lebanon directly to the
00:07:28
activation of the dragon's gar pearls
00:07:30
the dragon's Garland is described as a
00:07:32
set of 12 powerful pearls that are
00:07:34
activated in specific locations globally
00:07:37
the purpose is to reopen and rebalance
00:07:39
the Earth's energy lines these lines
00:07:41
connect various secret sites the Garland
00:07:43
is said to influence global events each
00:07:46
Pearl has a unique attribute for example
00:07:48
the Golden Pearl is for enlightened
00:07:49
teaching the moon Pearl for Unity and
00:07:51
Harmony the Red Pearl for strength and
00:07:53
purification and the purple Pearl for
00:07:56
transformation together they form a tool
00:07:58
for shaping glob energetic currents now
00:08:01
Master Woo's work in Taiwan is presented
00:08:03
as a key part of this reportedly
00:08:04
involving collaborations with other
00:08:06
spiritual practitioners like a John
00:08:08
svara it seems now regarding how leaders
00:08:10
and decision makers react the influence
00:08:13
is often portrayed as more indirect
00:08:15
almost like an undercurrent affecting
00:08:16
Consciousness it raises an important
00:08:18
question about openness integrating
00:08:19
these principles into traditional
00:08:21
diplomacy would likely require a
00:08:23
significant shift in perspective perhaps
00:08:25
a greater recognition of
00:08:26
interconnectedness and the potential for
00:08:28
different kinds of influence it's
00:08:30
definitely a fascinating area to
00:08:32
consider regarding the kofen and
00:08:34
foundation's involvement the sources do
00:08:36
indicate their continued activity they
00:08:38
bring years of experience in Conflict
00:08:41
prevention and mediation on a global
00:08:42
scale and they offer insights on the
00:08:44
Ukraine war mentioning support for
00:08:46
diplomatic negotiations aimed at ending
00:08:48
violence while respecting sovereignty
00:08:50
they also advise un and EU leaders
00:08:52
promoting dialogue over prolonged
00:08:54
conflict and they focus on preventing
00:08:56
war crimes ensuring Justice mechanisms
00:08:58
like the ICC are Central they also
00:09:01
emphasize humanitarian and economic
00:09:03
stabilization like securing Aid and
00:09:06
protecting refugees now on the role of
00:09:08
Justice in conflict resolution that's a
00:09:10
really crucial point the sources touch
00:09:12
on balancing peace efforts with Justice
00:09:14
ensuring war crimes are addressed so
00:09:17
Justice is seen as a vital component for
00:09:19
long-term peace and preventing future
00:09:21
conflicts it's about addressing
00:09:22
Grievances and establishing rule of law
00:09:26
let's synthesize everything we've
00:09:27
discussed the multi-layered nature of
00:09:30
pursuing peace thinking about how their
00:09:32
contributions complement each other
00:09:33
cas's rational evidence-based approach
00:09:36
can provide Clarity helping us
00:09:38
understand the realities and
00:09:39
consequences of conflict Master we's
00:09:41
work focusing on energy suggests a
00:09:43
foundational shift aiming for a more
00:09:45
harmonious underlying State and the
00:09:47
kopianan foundation's efforts bring
00:09:49
practical diplomacy and Justice
00:09:50
addressing the immediate needs and
00:09:52
long-term accountability if these
00:09:54
principles were applied more broadly we
00:09:56
might see a world that values reason
00:09:59
understanding alongside efforts to
00:10:01
Foster inner and outer Harmony and with
00:10:03
a strong commitment to Justice and
00:10:06
peaceful resolution the marching Insight
00:10:08
I think is that peace isn't just one
00:10:10
thing it requires a combination of
00:10:12
intellectual Clarity energetic balance
00:10:14
and practical ethical action it's about
00:10:17
addressing conflict on multiple levels
00:10:19
working from the ground up and From the
00:10:21
Inside Out personally I find myself
00:10:24
drawn to the necessity of justice for me
00:10:27
it's the clarity of reason that feels
00:10:29
most most grounding but I also see the
00:10:30
value in the other perspectives they all
00:10:32
seem to be different facets of the same
00:10:34
goal building on our discussion how do
00:10:36
you see reason energy work and Justice
00:10:39
playing a role in fostering peace in
00:10:41
your own life what small intentional
00:10:44
shift did you make today to contribute
00:10:46
to a more harmonious World considering
00:10:49
the dragon's Garland what energetic
00:10:51
imbalances Do You observe is your
00:10:53
community or The Wider world as
00:10:56
individuals I think we can start by
00:10:58
cultivating awareness paying attention
00:11:00
to our own thoughts and biases we can
00:11:01
also strive for more rational discourse
00:11:04
seeking to understand different
00:11:05
viewpoints with an open mind and in our
00:11:07
communities we can advocate for fairness
00:11:09
supporting initiatives that promote
00:11:11
understanding and Equity even small
00:11:13
shifts in how we interact can have a
00:11:15
ripple
00:11:16
effect the key message I hope you take
00:11:18
away is the potential for diverse forces
00:11:20
to contribute to peace from rational
00:11:22
understanding to energetic shifts and
00:11:25
the vital role of pursuing Justice if I
00:11:28
had to distill our discussion into a
00:11:29
single takeaway it would be the
00:11:31
interconnectedness of different
00:11:33
approaches to peace for those feeling
00:11:35
inspired and wanting to dive deeper you
00:11:37

00:11:46
definitely encourage you to join us next
00:11:48
time we'll continue unpacking how these
00:11:49
transformative ideas are discussed as
00:11:51
shaping Global events and as you
00:11:53
continue to think deeply and ask
00:11:55
questions remember that even small
00:11:57
intentional actions matter can
00:11:59
contribute to a more peaceful world
