I have founded a new
lnternational-
of uncontrollable torpedoes...
We will cause mayhem.
We will explode-
we don't know when...
Maybe with a "No"-
maybe with a "Yes".
Look down.
Look down.
That fragile bubble of life-
afloat on a sea of nothing.
We pray...
We submit...
We knock at the door. we knock.
We've never knocked
like this before.
There is no road
that doesn't lead somewhere.
We knock on the door. we knock.
We pray to come in.
There is a goat.
There is a cock.
A dog...
We have a bell. we have water.
We have everything ready.
They are the gibbons.
They are related to the orangutang.
chimpanzee. gorilla and humans.
And they start every morning
with a duet.
The male and female join
in a complex duet.
They do this on a regular basis.
They sing the same duet
I started studying these creatures
and their song-
because I think that like the gibbons.
humans have the same need to sing.
My parents had problems.
Every time they had a child it died.
None of the children lived.
they all died.
That's how it began...
That's when the vodou priest
came to our house.
A very powerful priest.
No witches or evil forces
could do anything to him.
After he came with his powers
to our house. no more children died.
priest. my father...
And my mother also started
to worship the powers.
Before my father died. he handed over
the priesthood to my brother and I.
priest and I became a priestess.
When I was small.
I prayed to be vodou's child.
Later. when I grew up.
I was initiated.
I have worshipped the powers
for 40 years.
The powers of vodou
protect me whatever happens.
No evil powers.
no curse can harm me.
As long as you are honest and
loyal, everything is okay.
A priestess' duty is to prepare some-
one who is going to go into a trance.
We smear oil
on the person seeking the forces.
We prepare and sacrifice animals.
If the gods give you a duty.
you must carry it out...
Otherwise it could end badly...
If someone comes to me looking
for help. I can perform a ceremony-
so he gets the help he needs.
Our forces are powerful. When they
enter someone they go into a trance.
You can't control yourself-
you can slash yourself
with a knife without feeling it-
smash a bottle over your head
without feeling it.
Without knowing it. you can destroy
everything around you.
I started studying these creatures
and their song.
One day they inspired me
to try and imitate them...
...with a human voice to make the
same loud sounds the gibbons make.
And in doing so...
...all hell broke loose
in the gibbon cages.
All the different species
started singing. vocalising-
and running around their cages.
Some females fled up to the rafters.
And I ran around for 20 minutes.
singing.
With the result that I became
completely intoxicated.
It lasted hours. I went to a party that
night and was still. just like drunk.
With my scientist's mind I said.
"What's happened here is that"-
"my bloodstream has been flooded
with endorphins."
Why was it flooded? Was it the loud
sounds, the exertion. what was it?
"If we were singing
and dancing apes"-
"before we became talking humans.
it would mean in a sense"-
"that the need for singing and
dancing was built into our nature."
I think this is actually the case.
in a slogan:
Man must dance.
We're not fully human
unless we sing and dance.
Mother Earth. Father Sky.
I talk to you, to East. South-
West and North, to the Earth's
centre, to the Sky's zenith.
At this time I would like it known
around the world...
...that there will be peace. harmony
and blessings for all my people-
men. women and children.
May they all think well
and journey well.
May all their songs and prayers
be answered by the sacred forces.
In this way we can live in beauty
with power from our ancestors.
I send out this message to
the world with the help of my flute.
We will be blessed
and live in harmony and peace.
To the ancestors: You take good care
of us. You take good care of me.
My brother, it's like this:
If you think good thoughts.
you live well.
If you think bad thoughts.
the result will also be bad. Not so?
It's about having a belief
or not having a belief...
May all beings have happiness
and the causes of happiness.
May all be free from sorrow
and the causes of sorrow.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
We believe in...
Buddhism.
Shamanism.
The Nation of lslam.
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe in Hanuman.
God is big.
Yemanja.
Lucifer.
Kali.
Xango
Shiva
Oxun
Sita
lanca
Bhagwan
Exu
Rama
Apocalypse
Shankar
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
Faith
Here on Mother Earth, everybody's
running around. I got this and that-
I'm called this and that.
this is my god and all that...
Everybody has to respect
one another's religion.
There is such a thing as freedom
of religion. freedom of worship.
Rely not on the personality
of the teacher, but on his message.
Worshipping of a personality...
that's not the point.
Rely not on the word.
only on the meaning.
The teacher
is about the principle of truth.
That's the teaching...
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
We do know one thing. We don't care
to cling to the life of this body-
We don't care to be aborted
by the body that we're wearing.
We care more to abort it in proof to-
our Heavenly Father
that we're ready to leave this place.
May all beings have happiness
and the causes of happiness.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
May all be free from sorrow
and the causes of sorrow.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
I hate to mention names, but there are
people going all around the world-
saying that I'm one of the biggest.
most famous spiritual leaders.
When it comes down to it you're just
another human being.
Pair of eyes, ears.
arms and legs...
A person gets hungry, sick.
gets diarrhoea...
Anyone who steps
on a banana peel will fall...
So we need to understand who
we are and where we come from.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
Seek, seek. keep on asking.
Faith!
Not blind faith...
But intelligent devotion.
We have to understand who
we are and where we come from.
When I was there
I saw a squirrel or something
I wanted to shoot it with the blowpipe
and had my gibbon on my shoulder.
An so suddenly my gibbon makes.
"ooo..."
I knew when it did like this it
had seen something, a big animal...
I looked. I thought there was a barking
deer or a wild boar or something...
I looked everywhere and didn't see it.
and I heard the voice of my gibbon-
who says. "ooo!"
But I don't see anything.
So I looked
in the direction the gibbon looks-
and the gibbon looked just
like this beside me on the ground.
There was a big python just beside
me who had swallowed a wild boar.
So it was really like this.
This was a funny story.
