This is Part One of my conversation with Dr. John Demartini on the conflict & the Demartini Method.

December 30, 2020

There's no better way to end the year than with Dr. John Demartini in conversation with Nausheena about the conflict, sharing his insight, philosophy, and powerful methodology in personal transformation.

"Because we have a spectrum of values across the world, and particularly even in Israel and Palestine, you have a spectrum of beliefs. Each of those is going to have different interpretations, of what that accord represents (the Abraham Accords). To think though there is no advantage from that I think it would be an extreme opposition because there is no doubt that if we start having communication, dialogue transportation, exchange, economics, or whatever, that at least is a step in communication.

It may not be the ideal, and it may feel that it is not the ideal that some of the more extreme Palestinians are searching for, but it is a step. I think it's easy to go, it's not what I wanted, so I am angry, but the reality is that it is a step, and with that will come somebody that is more adaptable and then there'll be another step and it's not everything we want, but that's okay, its a step. So I don't see it as good or evil. I see it as another incremental step and usually incremental steps are more useful than drastic overhauls.

I think that there is progress being made. I am sure there are other hidden motives, there are other narcissistic motives sitting in there. There's no doubt. You don't ever get one-sidedness, but overall I think the relationship between Israeli's and Arab derivatives I think is a step. I think that the youth and the individuals that are already cooperative in the region see it as a step. The radical, more extremists who want certain things, they may see it as a slap. But at the same time, it is progress.

Any change that is seeing dialogue and not alternating monologues with bias is a step. But I think it is expected that you will have some reaction. Any change is going to cause a reaction. But at the same time, I think that there are some steps forward here. I don't think that anyone of us knows all the underlying components here. I think that will emerge over time."
