Topic: Mazien Archie asks what defines us. He opens by introducing himself and the theme of values.Main points:Defined by what gives us life. He says the only thing that truly defines him is his relationship with what gives him life. Without being alive, he says, there would be no name, no admirers and no critics.Why people react to him. He says people who can be triggered by what he says have tied their worth to external things. He doesn't believe anyone's value is limited to those things though, but God as the source. His core is that: God used itself to give birth to everything that exists. He says our sense of importance comes from that, and that God's nature is to be associated only with itself. When people react negatively, he understands where it comes from, and doesn't Judge anyone.Life can't be bought. Breathing and life can't be purchased. If money could buy life, the wealthy would live the longest, but even Queen Elizabeth died. Even attempts to clone fail.How we treat life. He says we treat life as worthless, when it is priceless. We kill, mistreat and act inhumanely toward each other, even though we can't create a soul that sustains its own life.Personal reflection. He says this awareness of God is deeply engraved in him. He admits he sometimes questions whether he is a good person without it:It shapes how he treats everyone, as an encounter with God breathing through them and through him.Closing idea: Breath can't be bought in a market, so external wealth can't be the measure of a person's value.
