Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis Participates in the Global Peace Lighting ceremony that opened the Humanity Transformation Conference 2025 (HTC 2025), organized by The Middle Way Institute (MWI). Keynote speaker Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis joins other spiritual leaders and MWI representatives on the stage of the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center in a synchronized act of collective intention. This ritual signifies the shared commitment among thousands of participants—both in Manhattan and globally via Zoom—to applying ancient wisdom for the cultivation of compassion and unity.
00:00So now, we would like to go ahead and proceed with our global peace lighting, and I'm going
00:12to call some names, and if you can come up, please.
00:15According to each ball, they are numbered.
00:18We've got Gilbert Ho, yes, Venerable Burin, Reverend James Lynch.
00:30Venerable Wichit, and if you hear your name call, please just come up, and one of our
00:39volunteers will point you to which global light you're going to be in front of.
00:44Guruji.
00:47Thank you, Guruji.
00:49Dr. Alfredo Yunus, Reverend Dr. Olu Rumi.
01:00Dr. Sith.
01:02We have a lot of doctors in reverence.
01:06Iman Mohamed.
01:10Dr. Melissa Carter.
01:14Chelsea Garble.
01:19Eric Levita.
01:22David Chen.
01:27Sunny Theo.
01:33And then, I hope I'm pronouncing your name correctly.
01:36If I'm not, I apologize in advance.
01:38Lugau.
01:39Lugau.
01:42Cosberg.
01:44And then, Miss Vivian Williams.
01:47Crutes.
01:49Reverend James, again.
01:51Reverend James.
01:52Yes.
01:53Reverend James Lynch, please.
01:59Do we have all of our
02:01delegates in place?
02:06Excellent.
02:14Thank you, everyone.
02:18So, in front of you is your global light, and the idea is, we're going to kind of count down.
02:26Five, four, three, two, one.
02:27But before counting down, please put your hands on the global ball, and ideally, keeping your mind at the center of your body, realizing that in a few minutes, there's going to be brightness with each ball.
02:40And that brightness is just like you, the center of your body, brightening the whole entire world.
02:46Each one of us, we're light within.
02:50And when the global light shines, we'll see brightness.
02:53And just like each one of us, we've got that brightness inside as well, and we still our minds.
02:58So, at this time, five, four, three, two, one.
03:04Again, please look up.
03:06There you go.
03:07Isn't that beautiful?
03:16Again, just that brightness that's within each of us.
03:20That stillness is just like a bright crystal sphere.
03:24The sun, the moon.
03:25Again, each one of us has that when we close our eyes and imagine, and that brightness lights the world.
03:34Okay, and if you can open your eyes at this time.
03:40Reflecting on what we're all doing here tonight, or today, this afternoon, on the little jet lag.
03:45And then, as they're all making their good wishes, taking a moment to reflect in silence.
04:03And please feel free to open your eyes, and we'll take one more picture.
04:08If you have a phone with you, if you can take it out right now, and bring it out,
04:37and put your flashlight on, or if you have that global peace ball that you might have downloaded
04:41when registering, to kind of support what we're doing here today.
04:47And the same idea is that each one of you is that brightness within, and that we can all
04:53share it to the world.
04:55When we leave here, hopefully feeling inspired and learning some sort of wisdom, we still have
05:01some time to go before we end.
05:05So, I'm confident that you're going to leave with some sort of wisdom that you can take
05:10with you.
05:12Yeah, thank you.
05:14Thanks for your support, you guys.
05:16It's beautiful when you see everyone light that light, and then it's no longer dark, it
05:22becomes bright.
05:23Let there be harmony for all humanity.
05:31Sway.
05:31Oh, and I don't even have my phone.
05:32I'm asking you guys to do it.
05:34I'm just going to pretend.
05:37Thank you so much.
05:39Thanks for your support.
05:41Excellent.
05:44Yeah.
05:44Yeah. But it is real, everyone. This isn't just some sort of, like, it sounds good. It's really true. You know, like, continue to commit to your practice. Continue to come to anything that you can learn when it comes to wisdom and filling your mind.
06:02This isn't something that we do often. It's, like, really once a year. So hopefully in the future, this is something that continues to grow because every day we have to be reminded of how important it is to connect with it and the type of wisdom that we learn it. And it's, like, this is going to help each one of us do that.
06:20Let us together make the choices that will put our planet back on the right course. Only then will we fulfill our destiny.
06:32All right. So we're going to wrap up now because we do have a program and we want to get out of here so we can have lunch. So thank you so much for your support, everyone. Lighting your brightness within.
06:43And at this time, we invite our delegates back to their seats. Thank you so much for brightening the world, the global light.
