In 2012, a researcher named Michelle Drouin discovered something frightening. Almost 90% of us feel our phone vibrating [music] in our pocket when it's actually not vibrating at all. They called it phantom vibration. A completely real sensation of a message that doesn't exist. Why? Because our brain has been trained. [music] We waited so long for the next message that it started creating it on its own. We're no longer waiting for the signal. We've become the receiver. >> [music] >> And let's admit it, there's something sad about that. Sitting with friends in the middle of a meal and in your head there's only one question, who just messaged me? We've tuned our bodies to [music] the frequency of a screen waiting for someone out there to confirm that we exist. And 3,000 years ago, King David wrote the breakthrough. He didn't turn off the receiver, he retuned [music] it. Four words in Psalms, I have set the Lord always before me. In other words, I constantly tune my antenna to one frequency, to the creator. Living in front of a presence that [music] already knows I'm here. The screen needs us to feel a vibration so that we remember it exists. The holy one, blessed be he, is with us even when there are no notifications. God forbid, always. Let's not tune ourselves to a frequency that sells us fake messages. >> [music] >> Let's tune into the one who broadcasts us true presence.
