Globalisation

Globalization creates international cities, but the true heart of a nation is found in its remote countryside. Major cities, filled with diverse and sometimes threatened populations, can be sites of tension. In contrast, rural areas often preserve a natural trust and harmony, as seen in communities where doors are left unlocked. This pattern exists worldwide. Humanity has largely lost its innate, natural way of living. Animals instinctively locate places with good energy, but humans, manipulating their nature with intellect and tradition, have forgotten this sensitivity. We now require tools, like a dowsing rod, to find what other creatures sense directly, having severed our intuitive connection to the natural world.

"To see the real India, then you should go somewhere in the countryside where there are no roads leading there and no electricity."

"We need this divine rod, this divining rod... Because we lost the connection with nature."

Filming location: Wellington, New Zealand

At present, the whole world is trying very hard to unite the globe in oneness, through globalization. We have already globalized in Wellington; it is not comprised only of people who came from Europe and originated here. In Wellington, you will find people from almost every nation. So, Wellington is not New Zealand anymore. It is international, like Sydney, New York, Tokyo, London, Frankfurt, New Delhi, or Kolkata. If you want to see India, do not compare India with New Delhi; that is not India. If you want to see the real India, then you should go somewhere in the countryside where there are no roads leading there and no electricity. There you will see the heart of the people, how they truly are. And if you want to see England, then you must go out of London somewhere far away to the countryside. You see, there are people who do not even lock their door. I have met many European farmers who, before they go into their field, put butter, cheese, and bread on the table and leave the door unlocked in case someone comes, so they have something to eat. They do not think that someone will come and steal things. It was not like that. If you go to Ireland—I lived there for half a year or one year in Belfast, you know—on one side there were bombs exploding where I lived. Several times the lights went out, there was fighting. And as soon as we went to the countryside, it was beautiful, very beautiful. So this is everywhere, throughout the whole world. The problem in the big towns is that people come from different parts of the world and they are threatened by multicultural feelings. They are scared. They are blamed by others. Maybe they are thieves, and they have life problems and many problems, and that is why things happen like this. Well, this is one part of our human life. The second part of our human life is that humans have somehow denied the spiritual—I would not say spiritual—the way of natural living. If you see a rabbit, a deer, a snake, a scorpion, the nest of ants, a dog, a cat, a cow, or an elephant—in the case of horses and cows, if they are free, then they will sit in that place where there is a good vibration. Mostly where your cat is sitting, you can go and put your hand there or go with a dowsing rod, a divining rod, yes, and there is the best vibration, the best energy. But humans do not. Humans have forgotten. Humans do not have these feelings, unfortunately. We need this divine rod, this divining rod. Why do we need this? Even the animals do not need it, but why do we? Because we lost the connection with nature. We manipulate our natural feelings with our mind and intellect and with our tradition. A child is left-handed. My God, that is left-handed. Now it is okay, thanks to God we accept it. But let us say our grandmother, for her it was a shame to have a child or her grandchild who is left-handed. But now we understand, it is a natural thing.
