Below is a talk shared in July 2022, at YJA convention in Dallas, Texas. Yes, it features Steph Curry. :)

In a house where people are in harmony, their heartbeats starts to synchronize. If you're singing with a choirs, all the singers' heartbeats starts to synchronize without any physical contact. In fact, if an audience is really resonating, we'd all start to synchronize just like our claps.

There is a lot more going on in each moment than what we're open to it. We can all feel it, and especially all of you -- because, as Gandhi said, the Law of Love is a lot closer to you.

And it's all around us. A mycologist in Japan discovered that our fungal networks are smarter than our fastest route algorithms for railroad networks!  Even consider Redwood trees. When a Redwood tree dies, an angel ring of other redwood trees sprouts around it in a perfect circle, to support the mother tree. And so much science now tells us that happiness spreads in networks. If you have friends that are happy, you're gonna be happy. Same with cancer, obesity, depression, smoking, quitting, having children, divorce, philanthropy, kindness, and good news. It all spreads in network. Even if you look at the internet, it's not quite the FedEx model -- you want something, and I will make a trip to your to deliver it. No, Internet doesn't work like that. When you email somebody, it's actually going to a whole bunch of people and everyone is passing it off to their neighbor. Just like when we did the clap, just like when the fire flies did their thing, that's how the internet is designed.

Unfortunately, we have taken that principle and capped it with a very low ceiling. We've designed it into a finite game. Few companies own it. But what happens if we turn that around and instead of a centralized thing, or even a decentralized thing, what if we actually move to a distributed web of consciousness, of love, of compassion that each of one of us has an antenna to already?  That can really change the game.

Our theme of this conference is navigating new horizons. Here's a photo of the first ship that went around the world -- few years ago -- but this Polynesian ship had no technology, no compass, no gadgets. Tens of thousands of miles of water, and what are you gonna do? You don't know where you're at. How the heck do you get from one side of the world to the other? Of course, they look at the water and sky and winds to navigate -- but every so often, when even the indigenous elders of the ship get stumped, what do they do? They call the ground crew. How do they connect with them? They pray. Because the "ground crew" has an affinity for their well-being, they are connected -- not via the internet, but the inner-net.

Now, that inner-net connection will allow all of us to navigate new horizons. It's so powerful that it's humbling.

I want close with this video, that I heard when I was with some monks sitting at the base of a majestic redwood tree:

How, then, do we harmonize individual and collective flow? We must play an Infinite Game.

If you look at the infinity sign, think of it as two circles. One circle is how each one of us is unique; that's a greatness we each need to step into. We're all good at something, which is the world needs us to do. Yet, if we just do that, it's not enough because then you reduce yourself to a finite game. You become singularly amazing, and your ego reaches the top of the world. That standing-out needs to be tempered and balanced with the second circle of infinity -- blending-in, dissolving, disappearing into murmuration. We don't learn this today. Stand out, but remember to also blend in. With humility, we can see the power of small acts that are deeply connected. We do our it and awaken to the infinity of a murmuration.

Thank you very much.
