[8:54] -  What is discernment?

[11:48] - I compare two different social media figures named Kevin. 

[14:57] - One “Kevin” is reactive and the other “Kevin” is receptive.

[20:40] - I encourage delivering messages and communication with kindness.

[22:32] - Discernment with insight involves understanding intentions and  being attentive.

[25:37] - Discernment identifies right from wrong and considers moral implications carefully.

[28:28] - Focus on timing to avoid premature judgments and unnecessary stress or harm.

[31:55] - Consider your “what,” then consider your “when.”

[33:58] - Understand the timing of matters and situate them among seasons and dualities.

[36:59] - Ecclesiastes uses "season" for beginnings and "time" for events or endings.

[40:09] - Proper timing can help to avoid premature decisions, actions, or judgments.

[42:18] - I argue that wisdom builds on knowledge, understanding, prudence, and discernment.

[45:07] - Discernment involves spiritual access and should be shared cautiously to avoid harm.

[47:43] - Controlling your need to overshare is crucial for wisdom and deeper connections.

[51:01] - Combining physical and spiritual pleasures fosters deeper understanding.

[52:56] - Blending science with spirituality shows how higher vibrations influence lower ones.
