Silence shared in words
presents
Life is a very mysterious phenomenon
Is there a heaven and is there a hell?
And would you like to tell me what part of Oregon they are both in?
You are sitting in heaven
and the county road goes to hell!
You are a man who
certainly loves the controversy that surrounds you.
I love it.
You are a man who I think would like
to have every human being in
this entire world at least to have heard about you.
Certainly
I would like the entire world
either to love me or hate me;
I would not like a single individual in the whole world to ignore me.
And that’s the way my empire is expanding.
I have more friends,
I have more enemies:
every day they are increasing.
You are also a man with, without question, a
magnificent sense of humor.
And in order I think……
And in order to rule this empire
not rule, I’m sorry, you do not rule; you just live in this empire
to accept all of the hassles and controversies and misrepresentations and
and probably some of the truths about yourself,
you would have to have a great sense of humor
I really enjoy….
I read in the Visitors Center
that if everyone in the world could laugh
over a twenty-four hour period
it would change this entire malignancy that we all seem to live in.
That’s not what you said; that’s what I said.
It will help,
but it will kill that woman….
Laughter is a good medicine,
but you should take
as much as you can absorb; otherwise it can kill you,
it can drive you mad.
Life is
a very mysterious phenomenon,
where laughter is part
and where tears also are part.
Once in a while to be sad,
really sad,
is not bad.
Sadness has its own beauty. You have just to learn to enjoy
the beauty of sadness, its silence,
Its depth.
Life is everything all together,
and we allow our people to live
in all dimensions.
If somebody is crying and weeping,
nobody is going to stop him here. .
Somebody may give him a hug
and go on his way.
That hug was not to stop his tears,
just a spontaneous response
We believe
in life
in its totality
in its days, in its nights,
the sunny days and the cloudy days.
We believe
that everything in life
can be enjoyed. You need just a little more awareness,
more consciousness
of what is happening.
You are not your mind, you are not
your body.
There is a witness somewhere inside you
who can go on looking at the mind, at the emotions,
at the physiological
reactions.
That witness is you.
And that witness is capable of enjoying everything, once you get centered there.
My whole method
of meditation is to get centered at your witness,
and then let
life
and its games go on.
Enjoy,
laugh, cry,
but whatever you do, do it totally,
with no shame, with no guilt.
And, as you said, I am certainly
a man who enjoys
being controversial.
I cannot conceive
a man
who has any guts not being controversial.
The people who are not controversial
are simply hypocrites,
just goody-goody
nice to everybody,
just changing their masks the whole day,
to fit with everybody.
One of the Americans, Dale Carnegie, has written a book,
How
to Win Friends and Influence People.
My idea is, “How to Influence People and Create Enemies”.
Why? Why is it important, by comparison, to create enemies?
Because if you can create an enemy,
you have created a potential friend.
