      We are interdependent, not only with the trees – with the sun, with the moon, with the stars. Everything is an interdependence.
      Tomorrow there is going to be a solar eclipse, a total eclipse. It will have tremendous effects on the life on earth. If you look at the sun directly you can go blind forever. Avoid looking at the sun – in fact, don’t come out.
      There will be every temptation to come out because in the middle of the day, nearabout four-thirty in the afternoon, you can see stars in the sky; just as in the night you have always seen them, in the middle of the day you can see stars. There will be great temptation to come out and see, but avoid it, don’t come out. It is dangerous to the eyes, it is dangerous to your nervous system, it is dangerous to your mind mechanism. Many people will go berserk, many people will go blind. Women who are pregnant should absolutely avoid coming out because the child in the womb is very, very vulnerable. He has no safeguards yet; he is soft, so soft he can be affected by anything. And in the solar eclipse, when it is total, dangerous rays enter the atmosphere.

    Driving a few hours to take my moon baby to see the one today. She was born a couple of days before the one that came right through our city. We got stuck trying to leave the hospital for hours as everyone was going crazy. Next one to come to my state is in 115 years. This is potentially once in a lifetime for her.

    The only awe I experience is when I see another video on the eclipse and I go “Awe not again”
