Yvette is 80 percent sure that a God of living energy sends signals to communicate important guidance which she can either choose to accept or ignore before making a decision.
I really enjoyed this talk because it was more of a back-and-forth conversation and less of an interview. I'm optimistic that I will eventually run into Yvette again so that we can continue examining the reliability of her belief system.
As you can see from the blurring, I had to make a few edits to the footage, including a few censor beeps at the end of the talk to protect the interlocutors that were reluctant to disclose their lack of belief on camera.
Note: I ran into Yvette in the parking lot a few days after this chat occurred. While our brief, second chat was not filmed, she expressed concern over the viewer comments that might be posted after watching several of my videos with different interlocutors.
It did not occur to me at the time (or I would have suggested it to her) that I have the ability to disable comments on specific videos. Disabling comments on videos is not something that I prefer to do (particularly when an interlocutor pushes back and challenges my motivations [something I am sure viewers would love to weigh in on!]), but I will honor her request if it comes to that.
In between traveling, bad weather, and other commitments, I returned to the trail several times since our second discussion in the parking lot, hoping to run into Yvette and offer her the option to have the video comments disabled, but that was unsuccessful (one of the reasons why this video was not released much sooner).
When/if I do run into Yvette again (or she decides to email me) there is a chance she may opt to have the comments disabled on this video, to which I will comply. Thank you for your understanding in advance of this potential outcome.
After watching this video, please free to offer Yvette some words of encouragement, as there is a good chance she will one day see this video and read the comments.
