South Africans can bring peace to the world

2025-12-22T18:40:00.001+02:00

Hi all. I have renamed this video and updated its description and settings to "South Africans can bring peace to the world."

Most commentators on YouTube and here on Facebook are saying that there is no hope for South Africa. They are saying that the ANC represents everyone in South Africa. They are saying that South Africa's political landscape is changing to one where blacks vote for black parties, or various faiths vote for the own parties, or people from Natal vote for parties that represent them and people from the Cape vote for parties that represent them. This problem is short term!

I came back to South Africa in 1995 as I believe(d) in the new South Africa. I left the old South Africa in 1987 because I didn't want to fight my coloured and black friends from the townships where I had been teaching for years, whilst at University.

I live in South Africa as do so many people because we believe in the country and its people. We love its beauty. We love that Amazon invented AWS and the Amazon Cloud here in Cape Town, in South Africa. We love that Elon Musk was born in South Africa. We love that the two world's biggest beer companies merged, and one of them was SAB, South African Breweries. So many South Africans live abroad and contribute there. We want them to come back to our land of beauty and culture, and contribute to the 10% real growth (after inflation) we need here, and it is possible, for all sorts of reasons.

One of these immigrants was my ex-wife's grandparent's coloured domestic or maid. She immigrated to the UK in the 1980's and because she spoke Yiddish and because she could make all the "Jewish" foods, she was instantly in demand. By the time I met her in 1989, she was living in Belsize Park, an upmarket suburb of London, and she was in huge demand. This is the nature of South Africa and South Africans. We haven't only lost brilliant and incredible whites. So too with blacks, coloureds, and all types of people.

Our president says that we can show the world how to heal. I agree. But he does it with hate, and perhaps 10 million people agree with him, but the other 55 million people agree with me. We can show the world how to get together and the only way to do that is to get together with each other and to forgive each other for what our parents did to each other, and ensure that our children love and respect each other. Otherwise we are just perpetuating ancient rivalries, and sometimes ancient myths.

As we enter 2026, I pray for love and compassion and generosity and respect and trust to be top of mind for South Africans, and I pray that the world sees this and says "we want to be like them".

Happy new year.

Jewish people have some secrets. Here are two of them.

2024-01-18T11:51:00.004+02:00

One of these secrets is that we have one day off a week.

Another of these secrets is that we welcome dissenting and opposite views. We welcome Outliers.

The Zohar and Talmud are full of opposing opinions and views, even opposing legal views. I’m studying The Zohar, the Ancient Book of Kabbalah, which dissects the Tanach and shows why things have been said the way they’ve been said and why things happened the way they happened. There are many times when I read something, and I don’t agree with it. I know that if I wait then at some point I will get an opposing view, which I may or may not agree with. There are even discussions about why a word might have an extra vav, or why a word doesn’t have a vav.

Unfortunately, this internal strength in Judaism is used by our enemies to undermine us as they will find a Jew who is against Zionism or who uses words like Occupation or Genocide to say that this is how Jews feel generally. Yet if they want to, they will see that the opposing view also exists. And we should not allow people to tell us that we cannot be Nationalists for our country. There have been more than 200 Nationalist movements since the end of empires in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. And there are still lots of “separatist” and nationalist movements. The most famous recently are Brexit where Britain left the EU, and we know from our Ukrainian friends, of the Russians in Eastern Ukraine who want to be part of Russia, and the Basques in Northern Spain who want their own State. In Africa there are tens of conflicts because of lines

drawn up by empires, which don’t suit the locals.

Zionism is just Ancient Jewish or Israelite Nationalism, as ancient as the Jewish people themselves.

Jacob became Yisrael aher he fought with the Angel of God. Moses didn’t like that God wanted to kill everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah, so Moses negotiated with God. God wants that! God wants us to question Him. God wants us to find paths. God wants us to make our world a bemer place to live, and you know how much time I have put into that. And together with so many friends, we have made the world a better place, by this incredible community and its ruach.

Mindfulness and Relaxation training using Tai Chi, Energy Work, Discussion, stretching, lower body strength, and other training, by David Lipschitz

2022-05-22T17:30:00.001+02:00

I come to you if you're in Cape Town, and by special arrangement I travel further afield, usually for a day or longer of Tai Chi and Mindfulness. If you're prepared to have Tai Chi in a public place, then I can invite people at a lower rate and I give you part of their fee back as a rebate. You underwrite the class, and if it's only you, you have 100% of my time. Or we can still have class in a public place, with only you.

I am an Ancient Wisdom expert, a scientist with two BSc degrees and an MBA. I've run my own software development and energy consulting business for 30 years, and I've learnt how to integrate healthy choices with a busy schedule.

22 May 2022: Note that with rising interest rates and cost of living, I have reduced my prices, and I pray that this helps you to do this amazing activity.

https://www.superprof.co.za/tai-chi-instructor-cape-town-south-africa-with-years-experience.html

The R500 reduced class fee is for up to 3 people in the same family or residence per class. Additional people pay a reduced rate of R150 per person. If you have the means to pay more, please let me know as this helps to subside people who pay even less than this rate.

Coronavirus. A time to heal our world.

2020-03-06T13:54:00.001+02:00

Dear friends

I think we should be aware of Corona Virus, especially for any group events we do, but we shouldn’t let it distract us from our mission(s) and we must not let fear override our common sense.

Of course we must take precautions, but we mustn’t shut down our lives.

There are energetic ways to protect ourselves as well as opportunities to boost our immune systems.

For example we can use this time to stay away from sugar and starch (sugar) and perhaps take up intermittent fasting and stay away from fast foods.

We have an opportunity to use Corona as a catalyst to change the way we think. And especially to get others to change the way they think.

We have an opportunity to investigate how short our lives are and how much work we still need to do.

Let’s take these opportunities without being fearful and with the knowledge that whatever happens we have taken the right path, thought the right thoughts, eaten the right food, and as best we can, shared our world with each other.

Here’s to our health and the health of our planet.

Love
David

Ancient Teachings

Genesis 1, 28 says that we should "go forth and multiply, and replenish the earth." Not all Bibles have this "replenish the earth" in them, but this is a direct translation from the Hebrew and is in my Bible. We cannot simply take and take. When nature decides that she has had enough, we will be given a lesson. We are also told that the "sins of the fathers will be on the children to the fourth generation" (Deuteronomy 5, 9). Four generations are about 100 years. This sentence means that we should consider 100 years time in all our decision making. The warnings are in our most ancient teachings. It's about time we heeded them.

Do you understand policy (aka Government strategy)?

Have you seen the Dear Moody's Video Series? http://bit.ly/dearmoodys 4 hours to learn how to fix South Africa. Are you prepared to make this investment?

Why we are here

2019-08-01T18:05:00.001+02:00

Answering the big questions! Why are we here? What is our mission? What does God want from us? How do we meet God whilst we are still alive? How do we travel to meet our Galactic Neighbours amongst trillions of stars in millions of galaxies?

The world is given to us to manage so that our children can inherit it, in a better shape than we found it. That is our mission, plain and simple.

It is in Genesis chapter 1, verse 28, which says that we should "go forth and multiply, and replenish the earth."  If we are to be like the sand on the beach, is this by having children? Or is it by having ideas?

We are given two tools. Temptation and Free Will.

Temptation includes things like Gas, Oil, Uranium, Coal. Fossils that fossilise our thinking. Things we can dig out of the ground and burn. And so we are just pyromaniacs! And temptation includes Corruption, Money Laundering, Rape, Taking things that don't belong to us; Slander; Undermining others; etc.

Free WIll is when you override your mind, so that you can do the things that you set out for yourself. Free will is not about temptation, although you might think you are free when you have free will.

If you want to run a marathon, and you sleep late, you won't get there. You need to use your free will to wake up at 4am and go for a 2 or 3 hour run before work. Every day! Free will wakes up your self-esteem. And it make it impossible for someone to push you down.

If you want to make the world a safer place for your kids, then you need to drive properly (no temptation to speed, or talk on your cell phone, or carry too many people), and you need to clean up your act. When you clean up your act you have sanity, sanitation, and you feel sane. The Department of Sanitation is insane, because it doesn't want to share. Sharing is at the core of Free Will. If I can do something, then I have a responsibility to show you how to do it.

If you listen to people, you are more likely to be informed, If you are informed, you will be in-form-ation. Your form will be good. Listen implies using your ear. When you listen and understand you say "I see" because you see in your mind. That is why books and stories are so much better than movies. You have an opportunity to see things in your mind's eye, that the movie director or writer, never saw, or couldn't portray.

If you listen and use your ear, you have heart. Ear is in Heart. Art is in Heart. Hear is in Heart. No coincidence. Because if we use our heart and if we have a heart, then we have a heart for things, and we can use our ear and hear and art to create a better, cleaner, world.

If we fear, then it is because we missed dear and never got to e-ear, and went straight to fear. But if we get our mind into gear (with free will), then we will hear what is out there. And there is so much. (ear plus prefix d, e, f, g, h)

If we want to fulfil our only mission on earth, then we need to use our ear, which is also in earth. And by listening to the heart of the matter, we hear the heartbeat of our mother, earth, and we are able to exercise free will and we are able to ignore temptation and not be tempted. We stop ignoring things that we feel are unimportant. If we ignore then we are ignorant.

But if we want to fulfil our only mission on earth, which is to leave the earth in a better condition than we found it, then our mission is cut out for us.

Some might say that God gave us the earth to plunder, but if we plunder it then we go under.

And so what is our choice? Keep going with an ever increasing cost of living, where for example since 1974, electricity costs from coal, nuclear, gas and nuclear have been ever rising, or do we want to look at a resource which is free for anyone to mine, and where the cost of mining it, has reduced by 99.5% since 1960?

We can be tempted by the cake on the table. Or we can use our Free Will to overcome this temptation and make our world a better place.

If someone came to you and said: your mission on earth is to make this earth a little bit better each day, what would you do? Every day? Would you do what "everyone else" is doing, or would you be uniquely you?

Only you have your fingerprint. Only you can make the imprint that you are destined for. And each of you, and me, as well, have a place. We have latent talent, inherent capability. If I want to use it, I must learn so that I can earn the respect I can get. Learning also has ear in it.

Let's use our ears. Let's learn to earn respect. And I'm not talking about money, because in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, none of us will have "jobs" by 2050. We will all need our electricity and our water and our food to be free. And this is entirely possible in a world where we use our free will. If we don't do this, then we go into a world of slavery. A world where we are owned. A world where someone else decides our future. But we have it in ourselves, right now, to overcome the temptation in our pocket, and use our brain to bring rain, to be rainmakers, to bring the sunshine, and rain, both of which are required for life. Life implies to live. And if we look at live backwards we have evil. Life implies light. Evil implies the opposite of light, ie darkness. But no matter how dark something is, we can still bring it into the light and so we can en-light-en it, and become enlightened. A little bit at a time.

Will we do it? WIll we take this Age of Aquarius challenge and opportunity and use our free will and go places? If the mundane things like electricity and water and food are abundant and organic and nutritious and free, then we can really use our Free WIll to enact the parts of our brains that are here so that we can meet our Galactic Neighbours. This chance comes around every 2000 years, and it is here at the moment.

Let's grab it.
