TRIP: Now culture does it uniformly, it's everywhere; you can't
get away from it. I'm wondering do you think, well this is a silly
speculation question, but it would be wonderful don't you think if
a culture could flip back into a paradigm shift of recognizing that
everything has equal value, that would be a ground changer there,
game changer.
SCOTT KILOBY: It would be. I mean, I've often said like just the
capacity to experience your negative emotions, just to go into your
body and just to feel the energy of anger without trying to get it to
go away could probably have a monumental affect on the Earth. I
would say it starts a revolution, because I just meet so many
people who are just like myself that, like you say, I don't know
from an early age if we're just told that boys don't cry, that you
need to behave, cheer up, stop crying, whatever. We learn, at least

that if I could compartmentalize I get attention and praise and
acknowledgement when I'm acting happy, and when I say I'm
having a good day. And I get shunned or at least told that there's
something wrong with me if I'm having something negative, or
something coming up. So if everybody would simply be willing to

directly without trying to analyze it, or doing anything with it, I
can't even imagine what that would do in our relationships. It
would probably change everything.
TRIP: I'm sure it would. I couldn't help but share this, I don't like
to occupy too much air time but have you seen the movie Starman
with Jeff Bridges?
SCOTT KILOBY: I have not, no.
TRIP: Okay. Well he comes to Earth, he's just a disembodied
energy and then he takes the form of this dead husband of a
woman who's grieving over her dead husband, he's been gone for
about a year. And so he's completely innocent, and they go into a
diner, and she orders him a piece of cherry pie, and he puts the
cherry pie in his mouth and for about the first five seconds from
