try living your life on knowledge for
the sake of common knowledge instead of
achievement for the sake of knowledge
being in a in a context in which you
don’t have to collect a lot of merit
manages you don’t have to collect a lot
of a lot of awards and other people’s
value judgments that you go to school
you go out into the world or you read or
whatever you do because it makes sense
to you not because what somebody else is
going to put on a transcript or where
you’re going to appear in a class lists
a 99%
who you are is untouchable and smellable
invisible it is what Kim Kaiser has
called your your conscious awareness
it’s your it’s what looks out behind
those eyeballs the subject matter for
this presentation is in areas that I
must admit that I’ve had some concern
about my own ability to write and speak
love easily there’s more doubt in me as
I prepared to write about this and to
speak about this than I really like to
admit you I have written books about
banishing doubt about having faith upon
having confidence in yourself and it
seems to me that you get to a point in
your life where all that you’ve done up
until this point is sort of preliminary
to something grander and something
greater and you’re almost afraid of what
that thing might be and I don’t think it
matters what age you are I think there
comes a moment when you recognize in
yourself that now I’ve got to take a
leak I’ve been safe I’ve been in
territory that I’m familiar with and
that it’s easy for me
and now I want to take that leap of
faith but I do not like to do it I
always like the metaphor of standing on
a cliff and down below is an abyss and
this abyss is endless and I think of our
lives as like we’re standing there and
we know that this is all unknown
territory and it’s like we jump
perhaps but when we jump there’s like a
rock that goes with us and we hang onto
the rock and we’re grabbing it and
holding on to it and we’re falling and
we’re being carried someplace but we’re
not quite sure where we’re headed
instead of what our life is like and we
can hang on to this thing just rot
whatever it might be our reality if you
will or our past and we’re clinging to
it and we cling to it and we cling to it
so strongly because we’re afraid if we
let go who knows what can happen
and then there comes a moment or a time
when you realize this thing isn’t doing
you any good this thing that is your
past this thing that is all your
teachings the thing is that you’re so
familiar with that you don’t want to let
go of it but you’re not quite sure why
you’re hanging on to it and then there
comes a moment when you realize hey I
can let go of this thing and it doesn’t
really change it that’s sort of the way
I feel about entering into the mole
territory of being able to manifest and
when I talk about manifesting I’m really
talking about the ability to take what
it is that we think about that in the
world of our thoughts
and to be able to have the power to
bring that into the world of our daily
experience called the physical world
whatever that might be now when I
started thinking about after I had
completed the real magic and your sacred
self all of the programs that are around
those themes a lot of people would write
to me would listen to these programs
would read my book and would say what’s
the next step for you what can you do
after this I can’t imagine that you
could write anything any more than this
people could say anymore and always at
the back of my mind was this idea that
there is something missing in all of the
literature that really doesn’t deal
efficiently and effectively with this
disability to attract to us and to have
show up for us in our lives what it is
that we would like somehow we’ve come to
believe that that’s outside of our
control that whatever shows up whatever
happens to us whatever the breaks are
whatever those those things are all sort
of in the realm of coincidences and they
happen if God wants them to happen for
us or predestined or or day and that we
don’t have that kind of power to be able
to do that that’s reserved if you will
and it’s preserved for deity
or people who have special dispensation
from God or holy people or lucky people
but it doesn’t really involve me I grew
up with that attitude just like so many
of the rest of us
but after always in the back of my mind
I thought that there are some people who
have the ability get outside of that
mentality and there are some people that
just attract things to themselves and
they seem to show up in us we just call
them lucky but they’re not there’s
certain qualities with certain behaviors
that certain attitudes that people have
that we’ve never really made a science
out of ok we’ve never really studied in
depth and I thought to myself I’m going
to talk about manifesting many of you
listening many of you here today with me
know that my work has really shifted and
shifted from teaching people how to
manage their emotions and teaching
people how to avoid being victims in
their lives and to have psychological
strength and how to raise children like
this and all of these things that I’ve
been and then there’s been a shift and
in the last 10 or 15 years the shift
moved away from matters physical and
into matters metaphysical beyond the
physical and then my work took on like
this real sort of spiritual toll
and God became a very important part of
my life and my work when it wasn’t so my
earlier worth in fact if you look
through books that I wrote 20 25 years
ago
you won’t even see references the word
spiritual er to the word God as you look
at more recently and people asked me
about that and I said you know it’s just
isn’t speaking to me as it is to you I
don’t know why either but my writing
needs to in my programs my work seems to
reflect a consciousness that I am going
through and it seems to reflect what the
rest of the world is going through as
well that there is a shift then I seem
to be one of the folks people for that
shift when I started into this area in
writing into theory I immersed myself in
earth alert I’ve read the bhagavad-gita
they book that Gandhi faced his life
upon it translates to the palm of the
Lord hope that you can read in one
afternoon he keeps your chapters but you
can study it for a lifetime
one little short paragraph from an each
day they justify to practice it see what
it means and I studied that almost every
day even working guides to the Gita and
I immersed myself in A Course in
Miracles which is a whole collection of
writings that a lot of people aren’t
sure about what the origins are this
discussion emotional did it and in this
meeting the work of Jesus Christ isn’t
handled work and so on well whatever it
is and whatever it’s ordered what I know
is if the world were living by the
principles that are in there we could
really solve virtually all the problems
that we face as people is really a whole
packet on how to create miracle cause
living and loving higher plane and I
also immersed myself Madame Blavatsky
work and she wrote a book back in the
nineteenth century called the secret
doctrine the secret doctrine she made
some predictions
not even one of the peoples of the
founders of the after the movement was
very very influential and met Gandhi
herself when he was very young man
influenced people like William Butler
Yeats Jack London’s and many of
monopolised so on woman from Russia who
traveled all over the world and lived in
India for a long time and she wrote a
fabulous collection of metaphysical
works about what is possible for
Humanity and one of the things that she
predicted is that in the last quarter of
the millennium the last 25 years of the
millennium and into the year 2011 there
would be ushered in an enormous
spiritual revolution and this revolution
would transcend anything we had ever
known before about revolutions like the
Agricultural Revolution and the
Industrial Revolution when the holy year
is a place away from agriculture in
towards it
[Music]
technologically
even the information revolution that
we’ve seen in the last year she said
when the spiritual revolution is I
certainly will transcend all of the
previous revolutions and it will begin
in the last 25 years of the millennium
which was the year I wrote your own ISM
and she also said that the people who
will be the leaders of this revolution
will not be the people in power and you
know if you look at the changes that
have taken place on the planet in the
last twenty years or so since the
beginning of the last 25 years of the
millennium those changes are really
astronomical that we’ve almost become
blasé among I mean the fall of Berlin
Wall and the dismantling of apartheid
and the dismantling of communism and the
dictatorships that have been overthrown
even the fact that you can’t smoke on
airplanes every morning the conceit of
monumental changes and shifts that have
taken place that I’m really the result
of not so much people in power saying
let’s not do this anymore this isn’t a
nice way to treat people but because of
what Victor Hugo said in laymen’s it up
there’s nothing more powerful than an
idea whose time has come and when Madame
Blavatsky talked about who the leaders
of the spiritual revolution would be she
said that these leaders will be ordinary
kkuk
regular everyday folks schoolteachers
musicians artists cab drivers regular
folks and these people will speak out
with a voice and then voice will be
heard and then the bureaucracy will fall
in line and begin to reflect what it is
that this consciousness in our vehicles
and if you look at the people who have
been instrumental and changing
consciousness in the last 25 years you
look at the people whose programs you’re
listening tonight you’ll know and ask
what are their backgrounds is mined out
that their salesmen marianne williamson
isaiah a singer a nightclub mayor louise
hay is a dancer
Denis Waitley was available the exact
was a preacher people who just did
everyday regular things I was
schoolteachers
and somehow there’s a power there’s a
pressure there’s something that has come
and put us in a position of just talking
about this kind of shit this kind of
consciousness and what has happened for
me the little schoolteacher is that when
I finally immersed myself in the most
spiritual texts that I have really
studied it was the New Testament I
listening to the New Testament when I
was a little boy and I lived in the
series of foster homes when I was child
and so on they would wherever I would go
they would just sort of put me in
whatever church group that particular
home practice so I’d be a Baptist one
year and an extra be of Methodist
lecture dear Catholic and I did you the
next year whatever and you know you
think that this is some terrible thing
that you’re not going to get any roots
but really what it did for me was it
exposed me to all kinds of different
ways and different approaches to these
truths and then I sort of let that go
because there was a an element of
imposing it and here that I found myself
being exposed to you know fear God was
what you were supposed to do
and so I let that go of my life for a
long period and then before I began to
write about these books that sort of
moved me away from psychological matters
into spiritual matters
I really immersed myself in the New
Testament I read it beginning to end
particularly than parts in rest remember
the parts of red you know this is like
this is what other people were saying
about what Jesus Christ was saying and
then this is what Jesus was saying like
this is a rat so remember this and
you’ll hear me talking about this in
this program a great deal a lot of the
things in red not because I am trying to
proselytize for any particular religious
point of view or trying to recruit
anybody or I’m not I don’t see myself in
that role at all if not perfect than
what I’m talking about
but more to give us an understanding of
what divine spiritual messages can mean
for us in our life and how some of this
has been misinterpreted as we move
towards becoming more stir
and so you’ll hear me referring to this
and then one of the things that I read
was this idea that that Jesus Christ
said to the masses that something to the
effect that even the least among you can
do all that I have done and even greater
things that you have this power within
you and reading that and interpreting
that literally means being able to put
his miracle doesn’t being able to make
things happen that we really sort of
think are reserved for other people and
so what has happened with most of us is
that we have come to believe that there
are spiritual beings that we have sort
of deified and then there’s us and that
we are separate from that and in our
separation we have sort of given the
power of being able to do these divine
kinds of things like manifest the gifts
of fish and loaves is the gift of being
able to feed the hungry from one
consciousness the thought is enough to
bring food into a place where there is a
need for whether it’s starvation winter
is hunger and you think about well how
can I do I have the power within me this
what I’m being told that I have the
power within me to think who and then
just wave a magic wand and there is
booth do I have that up while according
to if you read that literature
thoroughly and interpret it literally
yes you do
but most of us find it very difficult to
even begin to accept this idea that I
can have a thought about something and
with that thought
I can then shift it to having it
materialized or manifest will show up in
the physical world but I’d like to
suggest to you that that’s the only way
anything just into the physical world
that manifesting is really nothing more
than everything showing up in the
physical world is the result of a divine
idea everything including you and
everything that you have and everything
that you see and everything that you
observe everything that you notice and
that somehow we are being encouraged to
disregard our old belief system that
that is something that is reserved for
others other than myself if you don’t
know how to appreciate what you have and
where you are in your life you don’t
need anything else because if you do get
something else you won’t know how to
appreciate that either you’ll just want
more or you’ll want it to be different
or you want it to be the way it used to
be or you’ll want someone else to be the
way you think they should be successful
people are no limit people are self
actualizing people are inner directed
people however you whatever labels that
have been put on them by great thinkers
philosophers therapists people that have
looked at human beings these kinds of
people are people who always have enough
there are some people if you invite them
over and you say you know I’d like you
to I’d like you to come over tonight and
I’d like you to stay over if you can’t
instead of having to drive back and I’ll
say like you say can you stay and say
well I don’t know if I can stay or not
well you can sleep on the cot oh no you
know I could never sleep on the cot I
can’t sleep on cots
I got a sciatica let’s just listen I
have a high of back pain in a way I
doesn’t cotton oh that’s out of the
question I couldn’t stick Monica and
what about breakfast well we don’t have
any food but we have some old grape
fruit that are in the in the
refrigerator there a few spots on them
off no I could never eat grapefruits in
spots
no thanks like any great food spots I
just couldn’t do that and these are
people who never have enough they are
are not able to be flexible on to change
their other people if you say would you
like to sleep over we got a place in the
sewer hey that’d be great I can handle
that no problem I’ve slept there before
and all we have is great for all I love
grapefruit well we got Lucas bottom aw I
really like grapefruit spot those are
terrific I’ll go for those there are
some people who can handle anything not
because their circumstances are
different see your circumstances have
very little to do with your fulfillment
in life very little it’s it’s how you’re
approaching your circumstances it’s your
attitude towards your circumstances that
make all the difference in the
and taking what you are and accepting No
Limit people are human beings who take
what they are and accepting and don’t
tell themselves that somehow they’re
deficient because of anything about the
clothes this is a very crucial concept
for for me and for virtually all of us
it’s this idea of taking your life in
your own hands and being the kind of
person that you choose to be and
understanding that everything that comes
your way there’s an opportunity is a
blessing and it wasn’t until I learned
how to celebrate virtually everything
that came my way that I was able to
transcend it you see everything that was
given to us by God whatever that is it’s
perfect no one can deny the mountains
are perfect and the rivers are perfect
and the birds are perfect and they have
the Potamus
the perfect and so on this is just what
was given to it everything else that you
have on our planet that we have on our
planet comes about as a result of
thinking think thought makes it so all
right this microphone comes about as a
result of thinking somebody imagines it
somebody then tell somebody else in it
and a creator the dress that you wear
assert that I’m with
you have the stage these cameras
everything that you see that wasn’t
given to it was created by man as a
result of the way that we think the way
that we think so what gets inside of us
as a cell comes about as a result of the
way that we choose to think in our lives
very important principle to understand
because once you get a hold of thinking
and that it creates everything that you
have in your life you can change and
make it is absolutely perfect as you
want it to be because thought makes it
so creative visualization is what we’re
talking about here you the imagery or
the image that you have of anything in
your life is really like mental behavior
it’s like going out and practicing if
you go out practice with a basketball
shooting free throws over and over again
that’s physical practice imagery is
mental practice mental behavior when you
have an image that you can succeed excel
at something when you have an image that
you can do it rather than that you can’t
do it when you get into your car and you
have an image that you’re going to find
a parking place rather than that
there’ll be no place to park so you’re
not looking for no place to park you
will start acting on the image that you
have very much like you will start
acting on the practice that you have
when you’re shooting baskets or when
you’re hitting a forehand ER or working
on your soup or anything else that
you’re doing Bucky fuller who I serve
with on the Hunger Project Advisory
Council for nine years who died not too
long ago said that 99% of who you are
you can’t touch you can’t see you can’t
smell
99% of you is untouchable
Malibu invisible it is what Ken Kaiser
is called your your conscious awareness
it’s your it’s what look out behind
those eyeballs what is that it isn’t it
isn’t cells it’s some kind of conscious
awareness that you are and make no
mistake about it you’ve occupied a whole
lot of bodies already
now this is not reincarnation talk
although I don’t know about this
reincarnation people asked me if I
believed in it I said well I taught in a
junior high school in the inner city of
Detroit for four years and I saw those
dead bodies come to life every day at 3
o’clock
so I believe in reincarnation right now
if what you is 99% of who you are you
can’t touch and you can’t feel and you
can’t smell then where did what is it
who is it
where are you what is this thing called
your essence or who you are and where
does it go now think of it you were in a
body I have a little baby girl who’s 11
months old and she and we were all in a
body that size literally body about this
big got fingers only this long got the
tiny tiny little parts all over the
place I mean she’s only this tall now
is that her is that her essence because
I have other children who are much older
and I am much older than that and I can
remember being free and being in a
different body still me still my essence
they’re different but totally doesn’t
look anything like when I look with 11
month old and then I was 13 and had a
funny body at 13 but still my essence
was there in a whole new body hairs
growing all over the place that I didn’t
understand all kinds of things happening
to it you know then hairs falling out of
it later on you know looking at those
hair to fall out they what held it in
yesterday you know what katana I don’t
even understand that okay and so it’s
like Who I am has been in many many
bodies already alright and that essence
you see everything on our planet that is
alive can never die can never die life
doesn’t die it just trans
it just moves on to new places and new
ways being new ways baby and the way of
being that is the most transcendent of
all is this way it comes from seeing
yourself as love and only having that to
give away only having that to give away
let’s say I would stand up here in front
of you and just visualize for a moment
that I have an orange and I take this
orange and I squeeze as hard as I can
what
to kinda juice or apple juice any chance
once in a while come on now and then
though mango juice come out of an orange
one so on
no mistakes right never no matter what
next question
everybody passes these are easy okay why
when you squeeze an orange as hard as
you can squeeze it because the orange
juice come out because that’s not
because it’s a noise because that’s
what’s inside isn’t it on our planet
when you squeeze something what comes
out of it is what’s inside not too
difficult why does it matter if your
mother squeezes the art doesn’t matter
what instruments you use does it matter
if you just had your period and then you
squeeze an orange season does a matter
of your boss squeezes it how about if
your kids do it your kids squeeze it on
does it matter
doesn’t matter what time of day for they
do it it do all right how about it 4:00
in the morning does that matter
whenever you squeeze an orange the only
thing you get out is what’s inside right
no arguments same thing works for you
same principle works for you it’s a
principle of the universe right someone
squeezes you that is someone puts
pressure on you someone says things
about you that you don’t like someone
who puts tension on you whatever you
bought for something to you know and how
strong you come Zhang
and out of you comes hatred and out of
you comes fear or out of you comes
stress while out of you comes tension
why is it because of your boss the way
they squeeze never
is it because of your mother I mean she
really can be a pain sometimes right is
it because of your children what comes
out of you always when someone squeezes
you is what’s inside this is the vital
principle of being a no-limit person
it’s so crucial to get this and
understand that that if you have any
hatred in your heart for anyone in this
world or any anger or any fear any of
those things it has nothing to do with
the rest of the world it only has to do
with what you put inside now how does
what gets inside of you get there that’s
the key how does it get there as you
think only as you think you see there’s
no anger in the world there’s no stress
in the world there’s no tension it’s
perfect we’ve already done it’s perfect
plays it works just fine it’s all
flowing the way it’s supposed to flow
the evidence for it is it is that’s all
the evidence you need just look around
you everything out there is America
everything including you there are no
mistakes all and everything that happens
to you in your life whether it’s a
trauma whether it’s a disease whether
it’s somebody treating you in a certain
way there’s a lesson in all of it
no-limit people understand the lesson in
life and therefore celebrate the lessons
[Music]
it’s true and when you get to that point
in your life where you’re not cursing
the things that come your way and
blaming the things that come your way
and particularly blaming it on somebody
else and you hear it all the time she
hurt my feelings
how’s that possible how can anybody hurt
your feelings your feelings come from
your thought no one can hurt your
feelings without your consent
no one can make a fool of you without
your consent no one can embarrass you
without your consent
these are choices that you have that
come from the way that you think someone
calls you a name hey stupid could you
turn around
[Music]
I didn’t even tell anybody I was coming
on oh they’re all right and then you
blame the person who called you a name
instead of saying that’s just their
opinion that’s just where they are
that’s where they are on the path and
it’s okay all of you are in
relationships right everybody has a
relationship of some kind or another in
your relationship have any problems and
if you have relationship you don’t have
any problems it’s like you didn’t take
this microphone I want to ‘banahna
listen to you
everybody in a relationship has problems
okay now when you say I’m in a
relationship I can problems therefore
with something wrong comes really wrong
now if you’re in a relationship and you
have problems and something is wrong you
got to call in a consultant right you
got to call in somebody to help you with
the problems you want the problems to go
on who are you going to call it
you only got yourself that’s all you got
you might get a therapist once in a
while but they got worse problems than
you do the only consultant who can help
you with your problems is you and who is
that consultant that you’re calling in
we’ve already established that there’s
something wrong with that person right
some wrong so now you’re going to call
in a disabled person
to deal with your problem in your
relationship right now this is a really
sick approach during your problem you
got somebody that’s wrong you don’t
touch me and so you came home late last
week and this week I called you and you
didn’t call it I was supposed to call
you and then you didn’t do it how can
you do that not as the consultant you’re
calling scuse me you committed how but I
don’t know you know your dad your
Foreman good that’s the person you got
to deal with your problem all right now
what you can do is you can change all of
that around you can say I’m in a
relationship we got problems but nothing
wrong with that that’s the way things
are you know my problem is that you are
different than I am and you think
differently than I do and you behave
differently right and you smell
different than I do and you have all of
these attitudes over here that I don’t
have nothing wrong with that that’s the
way it is when two people get together
in a relationship you don’t have two
people becoming one if you do that then
what you end up with there to half
person who wants a half a person in a
relationship you always are single even
if you’re married and for you know and
involved in relationship group you’re
still always single you’re still always
you your unique special perfect self
that is not trying to love but who is
love who live who is being loved the
same as if you pray to God and say God
will you please help me with my problem
and want God to do it for you never have
you’ve got to be God not be afraid to
carry got around
if you want to get healed you have got
to understand that you’re not going to
get healed if you are asking someone
else to healed you and ask any doctor as
you know any surge in particular he was
taking somebody into surgery and asked
them which person has a better chance of
living surviving a serious surgery is
that the one who has a will to live or
is it the one who’s just given up and
the surgery and the cases are exactly
the same right but the person who has
that will which we can’t define you
can’t go out and get a bucket full of
will and bring it in there it’s an
attitude it’s an approach it’s a police
line that you can do something and when
you have that belief about yourself then
you know you’ve got so much better
opportunity to be well in your life and
a belief is everything it looks
different out of it I watched a little
girl five years old learning how to swim
and she holding on to the edge of the
pool think you want to get over here to
the steps and it’s just five feet or six
feet and she’ll let go it until hold on
again she’ll let go so hold on again and
finally there comes a time when she lets
go and go for it okay you’ve all seen
you’ve seen this with your children
Justin and what you ask yourself is in
the moment before that when she was
holding on and then look at the moment
afterwards does she have any different
skills what’s changed and the skills are
the same every new skills new learnings
goes in that second what she had is a
belief that you can do it when you
believe it when you really just believe
that you can do it that’s what allows
you to swim what do you think about it
now do you not a swim so when you dive
into the word you don’t think about that
you just know when you dive into the
water you can swim you don’t have any
necessary swimming skills or anything
like that or when you get on a bicycle
you get on you know that you’re going to
unless you believe you can’t because
you’ve never gone out there and tried it
and worked on it I told a story of a
patient of yours who had that very
problem who said she didn’t auto ride a
bicycle
yeah Gayle who came to me many years ago
and you know why she said she couldn’t
ride a bicycle because her mother
wouldn’t let her get on one cop-out yeah
absolutely
and she had these beautiful big white
teeth and her mother had always told her
you could fall and break your teeth and
I wouldn’t want that to happen to you so
here she was now in her 30s and telling
me that she couldn’t ride a bike and she
was in therapy and I said to her okay
let’s go
she said go where we going I said well
I’ve got a bicycle downstairs and I’m
going to show you how to ride a bike I’m
gonna have you teach yourself how to do
this she said look I didn’t come here to
pay you the kind of money that I’m
paying you to have you teach me how to
ride a bicycle I came here to find out
why I can’t I know well you’re going to
need another 30 seconds of therapy easy
okay the reason you can just because you
never got yourself on a bicycle and
until you do you never will know how and
you just believe that you can’t oh
that’s the end of that there’s no more
to talk about that now what we have to
do is get you to get out – and we went
downstairs and is because a woman’s bike
and I helped a lot of people to teach
themselves on a ride a bike and what you
do when you teach you help someone to
teach themselves how to ride a bike
because you don’t teach anybody I’m
right honey okay if you let them do it
all themselves you let them hold it let
them balance it let them move with it
you let them put the pedal down and move
it until you stand back you know when
you’re ready and then you’re moving and
you hold on for a second then you put
your foot back down and you you practice
it and practice and practice that all
yourself you know is which is someone
encouraging you and before long in just
a matter of minutes when I tell you it
was minute and this woman had never been
on a bicycle
she rode like two blocks my wife
couldn’t believe that she now had a
belief being to me means seeing the
greatness and the uniqueness in you and
never letting anybody else convince you
to the contrary when people ask me come
on you’re always talking about being up
and you’re always positive and so on you
mean to tell me that you’re always that
way this is really him and it isn’t
because I’m out there doing something in
an artificial way it’s an authentic
response to my heavens having gotten the
junk out of me
and the junk is the way that I used to
think the way that I used to make thanks
for a moment if you can visualize right
here a clock big clock and the hands on
the clock go from 1 to 12 the clock
starts right out here with a minute hand
and it goes over towards the 3:00 hour
and minute head and that’s the time in
your life when you are moving away from
yourself from yourself
that’s the time when you are trying to
put other people down trying to prove
that you’re bigger and better than
somebody else trying to make yourself
right all the time as opposed to being
with somebody else it’s like you’re
moving away and a lot of people spend a
lot of time moving away from their true
self because your true self is this
little child it’s this beautiful little
child inside of you that has only love
and acceptance for everything in the
world and no Disney no absence of you
you move away towards the free and then
you move down here this way and you’re
still moving away from yourself until
you hit the 6 the 6 is the point in your
life symbolically metaphorically here
when you are the furthest away from
yourself that you can be at the low
point in your life it’s the point where
many people break down or many people
break down their relationships or that
they feel full of despair they feel full
of hatred whatever it may be and a lot
of people die that a lot of people are
put into hospitals and a lot of people
have to really seek out therapy
when you’re at that site there’s another
part of the clock that goes from 6 to 12
that I think of as living in the light
and this is when and see the clock hand
never can go back
it can’t go back it can only go this way
it only cause this way as there’s life
that only goes this way forward in this
period this place between 6 and 12
that’s when you start coming back to
yourself that’s when that’s what
enlightenment is that’s what that’s the
pathway to enlightenment when you send
out that stuff that is destroying you
just killing you in one way or another
and you move yourself back over here and
eventually you get yourself all the way
back this is the light over here this is
the place where you can’t go back you be
tempted
you might be tempted to steal you might
be tempted to do to use anger you might
even slip a little bit and you catch
yourself I can say it not too long ago
there was we’ve got a problem with our
sprinkler in my home one of the
sprinkler heads is off and if you ever
seen that happen you get a gusher going
up there and I’ve been wanting to get
that thing replaced for the longest time
I’m walking out of the bank and there’s
a sprinkler head right there and far the
bank not actually own the bank it’s okay
so I go there every day and I do a lot
of business which is Bank and I’m
looking at this sprinkler head and I
think you know all I have to do is just
unscrew this thing it was allowed the
more words like this tomorrow morning
it’s 98 when you order so I actually get
down there and I start turning the
sprinkler and then I start thinking do I
want this karma to you know do I want do
I want to feel do I want to take I know
it’s only a night a night and I went
into the bank they probably give me one
anyway if I happen and I turn and I just
turned back I said I want a sprinkler
head I’ll go and buy one for myself this
doesn’t belong to me
it was just like a split-second of
weakness there or whatever was but it
Illustrated to me that I can’t go back
there I could never and there was a time
in my life when I could have done that I
can be absolutely Frank with that I
could do that I can’t go back there
anymore that’s where you start that’s
the place because when you get all of
that out when that’s all gone and I mean
gone and it only comes about as a result
of the way that you think so it’s just
changing around your approach to life
the way that you think in life when that
starts to go away
what you’ve become filled up with is
what your natural self is which is this
loving accepting not fighting the
universe but instead living in it and
going with the flow and all of the kinds
of cliches that you’ve heard about
sometimes it is that’s the metaphor
there and you see every time you try to
go back into it you can’t do it and the
ingredients that make for a No Limit
life are five in my opinion the first is
quality rather than a parent you begin
to change your thinking from appearances
and how things look and how other people
view me okay because every time you find
yourself upset in life about anything
that anyone else has said what you’re
really saying is what you think of me is
more important than what I think of me
so you change from appearances to what I
call quality thinking quality what is
the quality of my life rather than and
how does it appear to others now do you
tell yourself that because my friends
don’t like me that that means there’s
something wrong with me now that’s see
that’s what you have to learn that
another person’s opinion is just that
it’s their opinion and that all it is
every time you are upset or your
children are upset because of what
somebody else says about them including
their peers what you are really saying
in that moment and this is really
important what you’re saying is what you
think of me is more important than what
I think of myself and you must never
give anybody that kind of power and
control over you because they will
always have it the funny part about
approval for those of you who really
want it enriched now I’m here to tell
you that I like approval I enjoy it I
find it one of the most exciting things
in the way I like it when people read my
books I love it when people applaud I
like it when people tell me nice things
and all I like approval
first one to admit it what I don’t do is
I don’t need approval there’s a big
difference between wanting approval and
needing when you need approval
it means you become immobilized when you
don’t get it from making other people’s
opinions more fun now for those of you
who say yeah but I want approval and I
need it and if I don’t get it and so on
understand this the people who get the
most approval in life are the ones who
care the least about it and the ones who
get the least approval are the ones who
are always going after it so if you want
approval in this paradoxical way that
I’m talking about it stop leading it
stop concerning yourself but ask
yourself who gets the most approval in
life think of the person that gets the
most approval and you’ll see that that
person couldn’t care less what other
people are thinking they’re so busy
being they don’t have time to notice
what their neighbors are doing a row
said this is that if you advance
confidently in the direction of your own
dreams and endeavor to live the life
which you have imagined you will meet
with a success unexpected in common
hours what that means is that success is
not something that you can get in life
success is an enterprise success is
something that you bring to everything
you do in your life it isn’t something
you get out of what you do and when you
get that and you learn how to get the
junk out
and advance confidently doing what makes
the most amount of sense to you they
send your inner signals and the one
issue of morality which is you never
interfere with anybody else’s right to
do the same each person has their own
right to advance confidently in the
direction of their own dreams and when
you violate that you’re violating the
principle of the universe the essence of
the universe which is cooperation
photography then success will begin to
chase you and it will come into your
life and arrive in your life in amounts
that you never dreamt them before that
you never come to things will start
happening to you that you would never
imagined before I’m working on a book
right now that’s going to be called
you’ll see it when you believe it when
you start believing in some of these
principles you’ll start seeing things
that you were blind to for so long when
you were back here in the 2 and the 3
and the 4 and the 5 when you were moving
away from yourself as long as you’re
moving back towards your Universal
essence your harmony with yourself your
cooperation with the rest things will
start happening in ways that you never
dreamt up you’ll call that synchronicity
and we hear the term that we used to
explain how unexplainable coincidence
sort of happened in our life and
I’m going to share a couple of with you
before we leave the the quality versus
appearance in your life means that you
get that inner candle flame working in a
way that gives you quality independent
of what other people think of you Maslow
and defining self actualizing No Limit
people that they are independent of the
good opinions of other people on the
good opinion of other people independent
of it they’re so busy advancing
confidently doing the things that makes
them and bringing success to changing
their baby diapers and bringing success
to weeding their guards and bringing it
to the job they bring it on the airplane
so that when they run into somebody who
is who is rude to them a stewardess that
is rude they don’t see it as an attack
on them that’s just where they are and
they send them love help them a little
bit you know they’re kind but somebody
wants to get in on the freeway and
they’re one old temptation when they
were on the one to the sixth was to say
oh yeah nobody’s getting in front of me
I’m getting there first it’s like it’s
slowed down they don’t have all that
type-a stuff of having to beat somebody
else and having to defeat somebody it is
it’s a new way of being it’s a way of
quality where you’re harmony allows you
to cooperate and you are a part of what
this whole thing is about new way of
being quality rather than appearances
another new way of being very important
living your life on ethics rather than
rules ethics rather than rules all these
rules all these ways of having to do
things somebody else dictates to them do
you know that some of the most immoral
acts in the world have been perpetrated
in the name of the rules these are the
law what do you think Nazi Germany was
all about everybody doing all these
horrible things to other people I’m only
doing my job with the defense we all
heard at Nuremberg I was just doing my
job
if it’s an immoral rule it’s immoral to
obey it and self-actualizing people as
mezzo tells us have rules inside of them
that they could never open never
disobeyed ever and they have to do with
ethics how you treat people how do you
think we get to where we are now you
know who Rosa Parks was the woman in the
south the black woman in the thousand
said not today I’m not going to the back
today no way I know what the rules are
the rules were all over the place if you
didn’t need if you needed a reminder
there were signs everyplace colored in
the back white in the front and she said
no I’m sitting here and that made a
whole different ethics not rules when
your children start disobeying rules
that need to be disobeyed don’t be
surprised when I was in the service they
had a policy in Guam where I was
stationed which would not allow the
Guamanian civilians to shop in the PX is
in the Navy exchanges but they did allow
all other civilians to shop in the Navy
exchange experience but if you were
Guamanian that is if your skin was dark
and your eyes were shaved a little
different then you couldn’t a clear
outright violation I was a service I was
in the Navy the communications
cryptographer they had a newspaper in
the Guam Daily News and it said an
invitation to speak your mind
[Music]
there was a letter writing contest and
they offered $75 to the first prize
winner $75 it was 1961 and was fortunate
to me it was a month’s pay so I entered
the contest and I knew I would win it I
had already written a novel at that a
whole novel I’ve written while I was in
LA I do it wasn’t going to be a contest
I felt sorry for the other people
entering it I do I was going to win
unfortunately I didn’t realize that when
you’re in the service and you have an
opinion and you don’t submit it to the
chain of command that you can be
court-martialed for that so the
headlines on next week’s Guam Daily News
were us sailor a sales policy of
discrimination big hot stuff all right
and I was called before a Vice Admiral
commander naval forces Marianas Islands
and threatened with a court-martial
because I had disobeyed the rules even
though the rule was immoral there are
lots of them like that and when I went
in and they threatened me with the
court-martial I told them this was my
battle plan I didn’t have Xerox machines
in those days so I had to get a lot of
carbon paper I wrote a letter to the
President John F Kennedy and I wrote a
letter to the Secretary of the Navy and
I wrote a letter I was my hometown was
Detroit I wrote a letter to Detroit News
and a letter to the Detroit Free Press
telling them what was happening to me as
a result of just expressing my opinion
about an immoral act that was going on
over here on Guam and I showed the naval
vice-admiral my letters right there and
I’ve only sent the one to the president
of the Secretary of the Navy these
letters go to the newspapers across the
country there was one there to the New
York Times as well the Los Angeles nine
it was the I just spread them out before
him I said if you court-martial me
punish me in any way and what’s going to
happen is the world is going to find out
about this policy and I’m prepared I’m
ready I can handle it and I was 20 years
old 21 not only did I get a blessing
from that because all things come in
blessings for you I got out 90 days
early and they stamped on my record P I
because the president took it up and
sent it to the secretary muster I never
heard from him but I got the P I on your
record means political influence and
they don’t like anybody with political
influence and as soon as they saw that
this is somebody we probably will be
giving a discharge of real soon there
was no book there was no court-martial
and in September of 1962 a brand new
policy was initiated on Guam which
allowed any civilian to shop the Navy
exchanges and it came about as a result
of someone saying these rules are
immoral and therefore it’s immoral
innovative new ways of being
ethics rather than rule and when your
kids want to know why how come these
rules are so stupid how come we have to
do that encourage them my mother always
did that she would have to help me
you know there’s none of the messes that
I got myself into because I did it in my
impetuous youth I would just when they
would say to me what’s more important
your job or school I was at honest you
have to catch up of course that’s how I
felt in those days but what you do put
out in the world is exactly what’s
coming back to you and if you find
things coming back to you that you don’t
like and don’t understand don’t ask
yourself why these things are coming to
you ask yourself what you’re doing to
make them come back to you and when you
start putting the responsibility on
yourself you are seeing dramatic changes
dramatic changes new way of being
instead of ethic instead of rules ethics
a new another new way of being instead
of looking all your life for
achievements and externals try living
your life on knowledge for the sake of
knowledge knowledge instead of
achievement for the sake of knowledge
being in a in a context in which you
don’t have to collect a lot of merit
badges you don’t have to collect a lot
of a lot of awards and other people’s
value judgments that you go to school or
you go out into the world or you read or
whatever you do because it makes sense
to you not because of what somebody else
is going to put on a transcript or where
you’re going to appear
classless we need to help our children
to understand and value the importance
of knowledge for the sake of knowledge
and doing things that makes sense rather
than taking the easy way knowledge
rather than always trying to achieve
we’re in an achievement oriented society
which tells us that we evaluate and
judge a human being based upon how many
cheap achievements he has but most of
the people who get caught up in that
trap and are always in this circle of
trying to get ahead trying to always get
ahead their reward for that almost
always as higher blood pressure ulcers
early death and even things like cancer
we’re beginning to find out are related
to the kinds of stresses that we have
and remember it’s a perfect universe
there’s no stress in it there’s only
people thinking stressful thoughts and
when you put that pressure on yourself
to always achieve and get ahead of the
other guy you miss what it’s really all
about there’s nothing wrong with goals
it’s falling in love with them that’s
the problem it’s not being able to be
flexible when we alter them you have a
goal to get here to get $100,000 in the
bank to get to this promotion to get two
cars in your garage whatever it is that
your goal is and you’re on your way
today and you’re always working ethical
all of this stuff on your way to the
goal it’s called striving and that’s
what you learn striving so I’m is a very
low level place to be when you get to
your goal because all you’ve ever known
is driving you will just always suffer
from the disease called more you will
just upgrade your goal to $200,000 for
cars and to houses and another wife and
a younger one and all of these kinds of
things if you have a goal and you
understand that every step along the way
the present moment to enjoy there
then the goal won’t become any
obsessions I don’t have any goals and we
blasted where you’re going to be five
years what are you going to be doing
what’s next for you I just remember what
Lincoln said to me was like the greatest
person who ever sat in that White House
he said I’ve never had a policy he said
I just tried to do what made the
greatest amount of us each and every day
of my life as I was that there as the
person of the United State and I think
there’s something really significant in
that and you don’t have to get it all
planned out and follow a certain pattern
and do it a certain way if you just sort
of trust your inner instinct and go with
that and live each moment the gold stuff
we’ll all take care of itself
but if you’re sacrificing and pushing
your life aside and suffering on your
way to trying to get someplace you’ll
never get there it will always elude you
because once you get there you’ll just
have to upgrade it and that’s because
that’s all you will know now is that
purest form of sanity living in this
moment and enjoying it
and all the rest of it will sort of work
its way out another new way of being for
me is to think of yourself in terms of
personal authority rather than being an
authoritarian personal authority a
person who has authority never needs to
dominate anyone else ever dominating
doesn’t become necessary in business you
can have a Thor the people who have the
most authority are the ones who listen
the most and the ones who are the most
conscientious about what do other people
have to say a person in a relationship
who have to dominate somebody else and
has to make the other person submissive
shows that they don’t have authority
because they’re getting their power not
from within for themselves but on the
basis of who they can control and that’s
never last
never last the only thing that lasts is
having inner power if you will know
thyself
Shakespeare said know thyself the more
you know yourself the more you the more
you become honest with yourself honestly
becomes just a way of life and no I
don’t think the world necessarily does
but you can’t run your world you can’t
run your world based upon what the rest
of the people in the world want or don’t
want to me honesty is like it’s a karma
that goes out into the world how people
treat you in the world is their Karma
how you react is yours and what when you
react to it with dishonesty that’s what
you’re putting out into the world
dishonesty and when you put this on
honestly out into the world that’s
what’s going to come back to you because
what goes out is what comes back at all
as you sow so shall you reap I mean it
in every great institution that there is
in the world whatever whether it’s a
religion or a philosophy or whatever
what you put out is what comes back
whatever you plant is what you’re going
to get back and the more that you put
out honesty just because if what you are
because you are being honesty you’re not
trying to be honest you’re just being
honest
then that’s what will come back to you
my regular basis and what it doesn’t
need to see that as another test for you
to pass
and finally a fifth way of being that is
new for me and because become a way of
life
it’s called serenity instead of
acquisition the more you try to acquire
the more you try to get the more you try
to collect in your life and evaluate
yourself on the basis of that the less
serenity you’re going to have more is
less it’s almost a secret of the
universe
serenity means inner peace means that
you can find joy in every moment that
you have in your life instead of always
looking for it it means that while you
are driving along the countryside you
know and seeing instead of saying oh
this is I’m on my way to this point and
you can open your eyes and see it with
new eyes see see the rolling mountains
see the grass either deer see the sky
you can just stop whatever you are in
this second wherever you are and just
look around you and you can begin to
appreciate just your and your
surroundings in your environment then
you can begin to appreciate the people
that are in your life and even the ones
that are negative and then you’re having
the most difficulty with you can
practice a new way of being with them
which is sending them love letting them
flower send them books and imitate send
them something and just see what kind of
reaction that you get super emotional
health it’s just an attitude an attitude
is everything
I want to summarize these new ways of
being and give you the most important
ingredient on the path as we leave
I said that it’s quality in your life to
be focusing on rather than appearances
and it’s ethics rather than rules on its
knowledge rather than achievement all
the time and is being personally an
authority on yourself rather than the
sort variant and trying to be dominant
dominating someone else or to be
dominated and serenity which is the name
of my mother of my youngest daughter
Sarina rather than acquisitions and
accumulations and trying to prove
yourself that way when you get that
serenity which comes from the way that
you think always then you will replace
all of the other junk that keeps you
back here between 6 & 1 on that clock
and once you pass it once you get past
it you’ll never ever be able to go back
because the light living in the life is
a way of a way of being that if you’re
not there you don’t get it yet but once
you see it and once it begins to take
over your life you can never go back
that because that is your purpose it
isn’t your purpose isn’t to try to be
loving your purpose is to be loved and
only have that to give away well but
there’s one other ingredient and it’s
really crucial forgiveness is the vital
ingredient on the path of enlightenment
and if you don’t know how to do it then
practice sending out love take the
person or the people that you’re having
conflict with any place in your life
send them something you don’t have to
even do it physically just send them
something
that comes from inside and what’s inside
is how you choose to think if you can
make that love and do that and that is
to me the test not whether you can love
someone when they smell good when they
do everything that you’re supposed but
whether you can love someone who has
sent you hate or anguish in your life
and send it back you don’t have to
forget you don’t have to go back but you
got to get it out of you because it just
blocking you and holding you back and
when I said you’ll see it when you
believe it all my life I’ve wanted to
write fiction a parable three four years
ago I decided to go off to Hawaii to
Maui to kind of poly Beach into right
now the books that had met the most
difference in my life were a little
prince Candide to Siddhartha Jonathan
Livingston Seagull illusions Alice
Through the Looking Glass Gulliver’s
Travels parables teaching parables
stories that can tell a message I went
over to Molly
and I sat down on the beach and I’ve
been talking about writing this I’ve
been talking about doing this and it was
something that I have a little girl and
her name is Skye SK ye I decided to
reverse the letters in their name
ey K s and put an AI in there which
symbolizes the self I kiss I just
created this parable of a woman whose
name as I guess who lived on another
planet the planet is Uranus and it’s a
duplicate mirror image of Earth only I
can only see things as they are not as
we would like them to be and therefore
people are neurotic on Uranus because
they have to be she gives the anxiety
attack report if you will because I
exciting really does attack over there
and tell about anxiety coming in on the
weekends and while my visitor in my
parable goes to Uranus meets ICA’s she
cannot understand as he describes earth
why people would be neurotic by choice
on earth why would anybody be unhappy or
depressed or miserable when they don’t
have when anxiety doesn’t attack and
when elevators really don’t scare you
and when if you want a complex on Uranus
you want to give a complex to your wife
you go to the store and buy one it’s
what happened well my husband gave me a
complex honest – whereas on earth if you
have a complex it’s because you’ve
chosen to have voice you can’t figure it
out ok so she comes here observes our
people and begins to see the secrets of
the universe and gives us these secret
talks to the top leaders in our field
and that was my parable when I wrote it
she gives all of these wonderful secrets
some of which I’ve been talking about
here today what I want to tell you is
that my wife gave me a license plate and
the license plate says mikus ok into
vanity plates and I was pumping gas on
federal highway in Fort Lauderdale
Florida a little manse in Greece came up
to me and he said but means this ftas
which is how you say that in Greek
national that’s just a works my
daughter’s name spelled backward is
parable that I wrote
he said now I said in Greek that the
word could ever be
it means best way

the sake of common knowledge instead of
achievement for the sake of knowledge
being in a in a context in which you
don’t have to collect a lot of merit
manages you don’t have to collect a lot
of a lot of awards and other people’s
value judgments that you go to school
you go out into the world or you read or
whatever you do because it makes sense
to you not because what somebody else is
going to put on a transcript or where
you’re going to appear in a class lists
a 99%
who you are is untouchable and smellable
invisible it is what Kim Kaiser has
called your your conscious awareness
it’s your it’s what looks out behind
those eyeballs the subject matter for
this presentation is in areas that I
must admit that I’ve had some concern
about my own ability to write and speak
love easily there’s more doubt in me as
I prepared to write about this and to
speak about this than I really like to
admit you I have written books about
banishing doubt about having faith upon
having confidence in yourself and it
seems to me that you get to a point in
your life where all that you’ve done up
until this point is sort of preliminary
to something grander and something
greater and you’re almost afraid of what
that thing might be and I don’t think it
matters what age you are I think there
comes a moment when you recognize in
yourself that now I’ve got to take a
leak I’ve been safe I’ve been in
territory that I’m familiar with and
that it’s easy for me
and now I want to take that leap of
faith but I do not like to do it I
always like the metaphor of standing on
a cliff and down below is an abyss and
this abyss is endless and I think of our
lives as like we’re standing there and
we know that this is all unknown
territory and it’s like we jump
perhaps but when we jump there’s like a
rock that goes with us and we hang onto
the rock and we’re grabbing it and
holding on to it and we’re falling and
we’re being carried someplace but we’re
not quite sure where we’re headed
instead of what our life is like and we
can hang on to this thing just rot
whatever it might be our reality if you
will or our past and we’re clinging to
it and we cling to it and we cling to it
so strongly because we’re afraid if we
let go who knows what can happen
and then there comes a moment or a time
when you realize this thing isn’t doing
you any good this thing that is your
past this thing that is all your
teachings the thing is that you’re so
familiar with that you don’t want to let
go of it but you’re not quite sure why
you’re hanging on to it and then there
comes a moment when you realize hey I
can let go of this thing and it doesn’t
really change it that’s sort of the way
I feel about entering into the mole
territory of being able to manifest and
when I talk about manifesting I’m really
talking about the ability to take what
it is that we think about that in the
world of our thoughts
and to be able to have the power to
bring that into the world of our daily
experience called the physical world
whatever that might be now when I
started thinking about after I had
completed the real magic and your sacred
self all of the programs that are around
those themes a lot of people would write
to me would listen to these programs
would read my book and would say what’s
the next step for you what can you do
after this I can’t imagine that you
could write anything any more than this
people could say anymore and always at
the back of my mind was this idea that
there is something missing in all of the
literature that really doesn’t deal
efficiently and effectively with this
disability to attract to us and to have
show up for us in our lives what it is
that we would like somehow we’ve come to
believe that that’s outside of our
control that whatever shows up whatever
happens to us whatever the breaks are
whatever those those things are all sort
of in the realm of coincidences and they
happen if God wants them to happen for
us or predestined or or day and that we
don’t have that kind of power to be able
to do that that’s reserved if you will
and it’s preserved for deity
or people who have special dispensation
from God or holy people or lucky people
but it doesn’t really involve me I grew
up with that attitude just like so many
of the rest of us
but after always in the back of my mind
I thought that there are some people who
have the ability get outside of that
mentality and there are some people that
just attract things to themselves and
they seem to show up in us we just call
them lucky but they’re not there’s
certain qualities with certain behaviors
that certain attitudes that people have
that we’ve never really made a science
out of ok we’ve never really studied in
depth and I thought to myself I’m going
to talk about manifesting many of you
listening many of you here today with me
know that my work has really shifted and
shifted from teaching people how to
manage their emotions and teaching
people how to avoid being victims in
their lives and to have psychological
strength and how to raise children like
this and all of these things that I’ve
been and then there’s been a shift and
in the last 10 or 15 years the shift
moved away from matters physical and
into matters metaphysical beyond the
physical and then my work took on like
this real sort of spiritual toll
and God became a very important part of
my life and my work when it wasn’t so my
earlier worth in fact if you look
through books that I wrote 20 25 years
ago
you won’t even see references the word
spiritual er to the word God as you look
at more recently and people asked me
about that and I said you know it’s just
isn’t speaking to me as it is to you I
don’t know why either but my writing
needs to in my programs my work seems to
reflect a consciousness that I am going
through and it seems to reflect what the
rest of the world is going through as
well that there is a shift then I seem
to be one of the folks people for that
shift when I started into this area in
writing into theory I immersed myself in
earth alert I’ve read the bhagavad-gita
they book that Gandhi faced his life
upon it translates to the palm of the
Lord hope that you can read in one
afternoon he keeps your chapters but you
can study it for a lifetime
one little short paragraph from an each
day they justify to practice it see what
it means and I studied that almost every
day even working guides to the Gita and
I immersed myself in A Course in
Miracles which is a whole collection of
writings that a lot of people aren’t
sure about what the origins are this
discussion emotional did it and in this
meeting the work of Jesus Christ isn’t
handled work and so on well whatever it
is and whatever it’s ordered what I know
is if the world were living by the
principles that are in there we could
really solve virtually all the problems
that we face as people is really a whole
packet on how to create miracle cause
living and loving higher plane and I
also immersed myself Madame Blavatsky
work and she wrote a book back in the
nineteenth century called the secret
doctrine the secret doctrine she made
some predictions
not even one of the peoples of the
founders of the after the movement was
very very influential and met Gandhi
herself when he was very young man
influenced people like William Butler
Yeats Jack London’s and many of
monopolised so on woman from Russia who
traveled all over the world and lived in
India for a long time and she wrote a
fabulous collection of metaphysical
works about what is possible for
Humanity and one of the things that she
predicted is that in the last quarter of
the millennium the last 25 years of the
millennium and into the year 2011 there
would be ushered in an enormous
spiritual revolution and this revolution
would transcend anything we had ever
known before about revolutions like the
Agricultural Revolution and the
Industrial Revolution when the holy year
is a place away from agriculture in
towards it
[Music]
technologically
even the information revolution that
we’ve seen in the last year she said
when the spiritual revolution is I
certainly will transcend all of the
previous revolutions and it will begin
in the last 25 years of the millennium
which was the year I wrote your own ISM
and she also said that the people who
will be the leaders of this revolution
will not be the people in power and you
know if you look at the changes that
have taken place on the planet in the
last twenty years or so since the
beginning of the last 25 years of the
millennium those changes are really
astronomical that we’ve almost become
blasé among I mean the fall of Berlin
Wall and the dismantling of apartheid
and the dismantling of communism and the
dictatorships that have been overthrown
even the fact that you can’t smoke on
airplanes every morning the conceit of
monumental changes and shifts that have
taken place that I’m really the result
of not so much people in power saying
let’s not do this anymore this isn’t a
nice way to treat people but because of
what Victor Hugo said in laymen’s it up
there’s nothing more powerful than an
idea whose time has come and when Madame
Blavatsky talked about who the leaders
of the spiritual revolution would be she
said that these leaders will be ordinary
kkuk
regular everyday folks schoolteachers
musicians artists cab drivers regular
folks and these people will speak out
with a voice and then voice will be
heard and then the bureaucracy will fall
in line and begin to reflect what it is
that this consciousness in our vehicles
and if you look at the people who have
been instrumental and changing
consciousness in the last 25 years you
look at the people whose programs you’re
listening tonight you’ll know and ask
what are their backgrounds is mined out
that their salesmen marianne williamson
isaiah a singer a nightclub mayor louise
hay is a dancer
Denis Waitley was available the exact
was a preacher people who just did
everyday regular things I was
schoolteachers
and somehow there’s a power there’s a
pressure there’s something that has come
and put us in a position of just talking
about this kind of shit this kind of
consciousness and what has happened for
me the little schoolteacher is that when
I finally immersed myself in the most
spiritual texts that I have really
studied it was the New Testament I
listening to the New Testament when I
was a little boy and I lived in the
series of foster homes when I was child
and so on they would wherever I would go
they would just sort of put me in
whatever church group that particular
home practice so I’d be a Baptist one
year and an extra be of Methodist
lecture dear Catholic and I did you the
next year whatever and you know you
think that this is some terrible thing
that you’re not going to get any roots
but really what it did for me was it
exposed me to all kinds of different
ways and different approaches to these
truths and then I sort of let that go
because there was a an element of
imposing it and here that I found myself
being exposed to you know fear God was
what you were supposed to do
and so I let that go of my life for a
long period and then before I began to
write about these books that sort of
moved me away from psychological matters
into spiritual matters
I really immersed myself in the New
Testament I read it beginning to end
particularly than parts in rest remember
the parts of red you know this is like
this is what other people were saying
about what Jesus Christ was saying and
then this is what Jesus was saying like
this is a rat so remember this and
you’ll hear me talking about this in
this program a great deal a lot of the
things in red not because I am trying to
proselytize for any particular religious
point of view or trying to recruit
anybody or I’m not I don’t see myself in
that role at all if not perfect than
what I’m talking about
but more to give us an understanding of
what divine spiritual messages can mean
for us in our life and how some of this
has been misinterpreted as we move
towards becoming more stir
and so you’ll hear me referring to this
and then one of the things that I read
was this idea that that Jesus Christ
said to the masses that something to the
effect that even the least among you can
do all that I have done and even greater
things that you have this power within
you and reading that and interpreting
that literally means being able to put
his miracle doesn’t being able to make
things happen that we really sort of
think are reserved for other people and
so what has happened with most of us is
that we have come to believe that there
are spiritual beings that we have sort
of deified and then there’s us and that
we are separate from that and in our
separation we have sort of given the
power of being able to do these divine
kinds of things like manifest the gifts
of fish and loaves is the gift of being
able to feed the hungry from one
consciousness the thought is enough to
bring food into a place where there is a
need for whether it’s starvation winter
is hunger and you think about well how
can I do I have the power within me this
what I’m being told that I have the
power within me to think who and then
just wave a magic wand and there is
booth do I have that up while according
to if you read that literature
thoroughly and interpret it literally
yes you do
but most of us find it very difficult to
even begin to accept this idea that I
can have a thought about something and
with that thought
I can then shift it to having it
materialized or manifest will show up in
the physical world but I’d like to
suggest to you that that’s the only way
anything just into the physical world
that manifesting is really nothing more
than everything showing up in the
physical world is the result of a divine
idea everything including you and
everything that you have and everything
that you see and everything that you
observe everything that you notice and
that somehow we are being encouraged to
disregard our old belief system that
that is something that is reserved for
others other than myself if you don’t
know how to appreciate what you have and
where you are in your life you don’t
need anything else because if you do get
something else you won’t know how to
appreciate that either you’ll just want
more or you’ll want it to be different
or you want it to be the way it used to
be or you’ll want someone else to be the
way you think they should be successful
people are no limit people are self
actualizing people are inner directed
people however you whatever labels that
have been put on them by great thinkers
philosophers therapists people that have
looked at human beings these kinds of
people are people who always have enough
there are some people if you invite them
over and you say you know I’d like you
to I’d like you to come over tonight and
I’d like you to stay over if you can’t
instead of having to drive back and I’ll
say like you say can you stay and say
well I don’t know if I can stay or not
well you can sleep on the cot oh no you
know I could never sleep on the cot I
can’t sleep on cots
I got a sciatica let’s just listen I
have a high of back pain in a way I
doesn’t cotton oh that’s out of the
question I couldn’t stick Monica and
what about breakfast well we don’t have
any food but we have some old grape
fruit that are in the in the
refrigerator there a few spots on them
off no I could never eat grapefruits in
spots
no thanks like any great food spots I
just couldn’t do that and these are
people who never have enough they are
are not able to be flexible on to change
their other people if you say would you
like to sleep over we got a place in the
sewer hey that’d be great I can handle
that no problem I’ve slept there before
and all we have is great for all I love
grapefruit well we got Lucas bottom aw I
really like grapefruit spot those are
terrific I’ll go for those there are
some people who can handle anything not
because their circumstances are
different see your circumstances have
very little to do with your fulfillment
in life very little it’s it’s how you’re
approaching your circumstances it’s your
attitude towards your circumstances that
make all the difference in the
and taking what you are and accepting No
Limit people are human beings who take
what they are and accepting and don’t
tell themselves that somehow they’re
deficient because of anything about the
clothes this is a very crucial concept
for for me and for virtually all of us
it’s this idea of taking your life in
your own hands and being the kind of
person that you choose to be and
understanding that everything that comes
your way there’s an opportunity is a
blessing and it wasn’t until I learned
how to celebrate virtually everything
that came my way that I was able to
transcend it you see everything that was
given to us by God whatever that is it’s
perfect no one can deny the mountains
are perfect and the rivers are perfect
and the birds are perfect and they have
the Potamus
the perfect and so on this is just what
was given to it everything else that you
have on our planet that we have on our
planet comes about as a result of
thinking think thought makes it so all
right this microphone comes about as a
result of thinking somebody imagines it
somebody then tell somebody else in it
and a creator the dress that you wear
assert that I’m with
you have the stage these cameras
everything that you see that wasn’t
given to it was created by man as a
result of the way that we think the way
that we think so what gets inside of us
as a cell comes about as a result of the
way that we choose to think in our lives
very important principle to understand
because once you get a hold of thinking
and that it creates everything that you
have in your life you can change and
make it is absolutely perfect as you
want it to be because thought makes it
so creative visualization is what we’re
talking about here you the imagery or
the image that you have of anything in
your life is really like mental behavior
it’s like going out and practicing if
you go out practice with a basketball
shooting free throws over and over again
that’s physical practice imagery is
mental practice mental behavior when you
have an image that you can succeed excel
at something when you have an image that
you can do it rather than that you can’t
do it when you get into your car and you
have an image that you’re going to find
a parking place rather than that
there’ll be no place to park so you’re
not looking for no place to park you
will start acting on the image that you
have very much like you will start
acting on the practice that you have
when you’re shooting baskets or when
you’re hitting a forehand ER or working
on your soup or anything else that
you’re doing Bucky fuller who I serve
with on the Hunger Project Advisory
Council for nine years who died not too
long ago said that 99% of who you are
you can’t touch you can’t see you can’t
smell
99% of you is untouchable
Malibu invisible it is what Ken Kaiser
is called your your conscious awareness
it’s your it’s what look out behind
those eyeballs what is that it isn’t it
isn’t cells it’s some kind of conscious
awareness that you are and make no
mistake about it you’ve occupied a whole
lot of bodies already
now this is not reincarnation talk
although I don’t know about this
reincarnation people asked me if I
believed in it I said well I taught in a
junior high school in the inner city of
Detroit for four years and I saw those
dead bodies come to life every day at 3
o’clock
so I believe in reincarnation right now
if what you is 99% of who you are you
can’t touch and you can’t feel and you
can’t smell then where did what is it
who is it
where are you what is this thing called
your essence or who you are and where
does it go now think of it you were in a
body I have a little baby girl who’s 11
months old and she and we were all in a
body that size literally body about this
big got fingers only this long got the
tiny tiny little parts all over the
place I mean she’s only this tall now
is that her is that her essence because
I have other children who are much older
and I am much older than that and I can
remember being free and being in a
different body still me still my essence
they’re different but totally doesn’t
look anything like when I look with 11
month old and then I was 13 and had a
funny body at 13 but still my essence
was there in a whole new body hairs
growing all over the place that I didn’t
understand all kinds of things happening
to it you know then hairs falling out of
it later on you know looking at those
hair to fall out they what held it in
yesterday you know what katana I don’t
even understand that okay and so it’s
like Who I am has been in many many
bodies already alright and that essence
you see everything on our planet that is
alive can never die can never die life
doesn’t die it just trans
it just moves on to new places and new
ways being new ways baby and the way of
being that is the most transcendent of
all is this way it comes from seeing
yourself as love and only having that to
give away only having that to give away
let’s say I would stand up here in front
of you and just visualize for a moment
that I have an orange and I take this
orange and I squeeze as hard as I can
what
to kinda juice or apple juice any chance
once in a while come on now and then
though mango juice come out of an orange
one so on
no mistakes right never no matter what
next question
everybody passes these are easy okay why
when you squeeze an orange as hard as
you can squeeze it because the orange
juice come out because that’s not
because it’s a noise because that’s
what’s inside isn’t it on our planet
when you squeeze something what comes
out of it is what’s inside not too
difficult why does it matter if your
mother squeezes the art doesn’t matter
what instruments you use does it matter
if you just had your period and then you
squeeze an orange season does a matter
of your boss squeezes it how about if
your kids do it your kids squeeze it on
does it matter
doesn’t matter what time of day for they
do it it do all right how about it 4:00
in the morning does that matter
whenever you squeeze an orange the only
thing you get out is what’s inside right
no arguments same thing works for you
same principle works for you it’s a
principle of the universe right someone
squeezes you that is someone puts
pressure on you someone says things
about you that you don’t like someone
who puts tension on you whatever you
bought for something to you know and how
strong you come Zhang
and out of you comes hatred and out of
you comes fear or out of you comes
stress while out of you comes tension
why is it because of your boss the way
they squeeze never
is it because of your mother I mean she
really can be a pain sometimes right is
it because of your children what comes
out of you always when someone squeezes
you is what’s inside this is the vital
principle of being a no-limit person
it’s so crucial to get this and
understand that that if you have any
hatred in your heart for anyone in this
world or any anger or any fear any of
those things it has nothing to do with
the rest of the world it only has to do
with what you put inside now how does
what gets inside of you get there that’s
the key how does it get there as you
think only as you think you see there’s
no anger in the world there’s no stress
in the world there’s no tension it’s
perfect we’ve already done it’s perfect
plays it works just fine it’s all
flowing the way it’s supposed to flow
the evidence for it is it is that’s all
the evidence you need just look around
you everything out there is America
everything including you there are no
mistakes all and everything that happens
to you in your life whether it’s a
trauma whether it’s a disease whether
it’s somebody treating you in a certain
way there’s a lesson in all of it
no-limit people understand the lesson in
life and therefore celebrate the lessons
[Music]
it’s true and when you get to that point
in your life where you’re not cursing
the things that come your way and
blaming the things that come your way
and particularly blaming it on somebody
else and you hear it all the time she
hurt my feelings
how’s that possible how can anybody hurt
your feelings your feelings come from
your thought no one can hurt your
feelings without your consent
no one can make a fool of you without
your consent no one can embarrass you
without your consent
these are choices that you have that
come from the way that you think someone
calls you a name hey stupid could you
turn around
[Music]
I didn’t even tell anybody I was coming
on oh they’re all right and then you
blame the person who called you a name
instead of saying that’s just their
opinion that’s just where they are
that’s where they are on the path and
it’s okay all of you are in
relationships right everybody has a
relationship of some kind or another in
your relationship have any problems and
if you have relationship you don’t have
any problems it’s like you didn’t take
this microphone I want to ‘banahna
listen to you
everybody in a relationship has problems
okay now when you say I’m in a
relationship I can problems therefore
with something wrong comes really wrong
now if you’re in a relationship and you
have problems and something is wrong you
got to call in a consultant right you
got to call in somebody to help you with
the problems you want the problems to go
on who are you going to call it
you only got yourself that’s all you got
you might get a therapist once in a
while but they got worse problems than
you do the only consultant who can help
you with your problems is you and who is
that consultant that you’re calling in
we’ve already established that there’s
something wrong with that person right
some wrong so now you’re going to call
in a disabled person
to deal with your problem in your
relationship right now this is a really
sick approach during your problem you
got somebody that’s wrong you don’t
touch me and so you came home late last
week and this week I called you and you
didn’t call it I was supposed to call
you and then you didn’t do it how can
you do that not as the consultant you’re
calling scuse me you committed how but I
don’t know you know your dad your
Foreman good that’s the person you got
to deal with your problem all right now
what you can do is you can change all of
that around you can say I’m in a
relationship we got problems but nothing
wrong with that that’s the way things
are you know my problem is that you are
different than I am and you think
differently than I do and you behave
differently right and you smell
different than I do and you have all of
these attitudes over here that I don’t
have nothing wrong with that that’s the
way it is when two people get together
in a relationship you don’t have two
people becoming one if you do that then
what you end up with there to half
person who wants a half a person in a
relationship you always are single even
if you’re married and for you know and
involved in relationship group you’re
still always single you’re still always
you your unique special perfect self
that is not trying to love but who is
love who live who is being loved the
same as if you pray to God and say God
will you please help me with my problem
and want God to do it for you never have
you’ve got to be God not be afraid to
carry got around
if you want to get healed you have got
to understand that you’re not going to
get healed if you are asking someone
else to healed you and ask any doctor as
you know any surge in particular he was
taking somebody into surgery and asked
them which person has a better chance of
living surviving a serious surgery is
that the one who has a will to live or
is it the one who’s just given up and
the surgery and the cases are exactly
the same right but the person who has
that will which we can’t define you
can’t go out and get a bucket full of
will and bring it in there it’s an
attitude it’s an approach it’s a police
line that you can do something and when
you have that belief about yourself then
you know you’ve got so much better
opportunity to be well in your life and
a belief is everything it looks
different out of it I watched a little
girl five years old learning how to swim
and she holding on to the edge of the
pool think you want to get over here to
the steps and it’s just five feet or six
feet and she’ll let go it until hold on
again she’ll let go so hold on again and
finally there comes a time when she lets
go and go for it okay you’ve all seen
you’ve seen this with your children
Justin and what you ask yourself is in
the moment before that when she was
holding on and then look at the moment
afterwards does she have any different
skills what’s changed and the skills are
the same every new skills new learnings
goes in that second what she had is a
belief that you can do it when you
believe it when you really just believe
that you can do it that’s what allows
you to swim what do you think about it
now do you not a swim so when you dive
into the word you don’t think about that
you just know when you dive into the
water you can swim you don’t have any
necessary swimming skills or anything
like that or when you get on a bicycle
you get on you know that you’re going to
unless you believe you can’t because
you’ve never gone out there and tried it
and worked on it I told a story of a
patient of yours who had that very
problem who said she didn’t auto ride a
bicycle
yeah Gayle who came to me many years ago
and you know why she said she couldn’t
ride a bicycle because her mother
wouldn’t let her get on one cop-out yeah
absolutely
and she had these beautiful big white
teeth and her mother had always told her
you could fall and break your teeth and
I wouldn’t want that to happen to you so
here she was now in her 30s and telling
me that she couldn’t ride a bike and she
was in therapy and I said to her okay
let’s go
she said go where we going I said well
I’ve got a bicycle downstairs and I’m
going to show you how to ride a bike I’m
gonna have you teach yourself how to do
this she said look I didn’t come here to
pay you the kind of money that I’m
paying you to have you teach me how to
ride a bicycle I came here to find out
why I can’t I know well you’re going to
need another 30 seconds of therapy easy
okay the reason you can just because you
never got yourself on a bicycle and
until you do you never will know how and
you just believe that you can’t oh
that’s the end of that there’s no more
to talk about that now what we have to
do is get you to get out – and we went
downstairs and is because a woman’s bike
and I helped a lot of people to teach
themselves on a ride a bike and what you
do when you teach you help someone to
teach themselves how to ride a bike
because you don’t teach anybody I’m
right honey okay if you let them do it
all themselves you let them hold it let
them balance it let them move with it
you let them put the pedal down and move
it until you stand back you know when
you’re ready and then you’re moving and
you hold on for a second then you put
your foot back down and you you practice
it and practice and practice that all
yourself you know is which is someone
encouraging you and before long in just
a matter of minutes when I tell you it
was minute and this woman had never been
on a bicycle
she rode like two blocks my wife
couldn’t believe that she now had a
belief being to me means seeing the
greatness and the uniqueness in you and
never letting anybody else convince you
to the contrary when people ask me come
on you’re always talking about being up
and you’re always positive and so on you
mean to tell me that you’re always that
way this is really him and it isn’t
because I’m out there doing something in
an artificial way it’s an authentic
response to my heavens having gotten the
junk out of me
and the junk is the way that I used to
think the way that I used to make thanks
for a moment if you can visualize right
here a clock big clock and the hands on
the clock go from 1 to 12 the clock
starts right out here with a minute hand
and it goes over towards the 3:00 hour
and minute head and that’s the time in
your life when you are moving away from
yourself from yourself
that’s the time when you are trying to
put other people down trying to prove
that you’re bigger and better than
somebody else trying to make yourself
right all the time as opposed to being
with somebody else it’s like you’re
moving away and a lot of people spend a
lot of time moving away from their true
self because your true self is this
little child it’s this beautiful little
child inside of you that has only love
and acceptance for everything in the
world and no Disney no absence of you
you move away towards the free and then
you move down here this way and you’re
still moving away from yourself until
you hit the 6 the 6 is the point in your
life symbolically metaphorically here
when you are the furthest away from
yourself that you can be at the low
point in your life it’s the point where
many people break down or many people
break down their relationships or that
they feel full of despair they feel full
of hatred whatever it may be and a lot
of people die that a lot of people are
put into hospitals and a lot of people
have to really seek out therapy
when you’re at that site there’s another
part of the clock that goes from 6 to 12
that I think of as living in the light
and this is when and see the clock hand
never can go back
it can’t go back it can only go this way
it only cause this way as there’s life
that only goes this way forward in this
period this place between 6 and 12
that’s when you start coming back to
yourself that’s when that’s what
enlightenment is that’s what that’s the
pathway to enlightenment when you send
out that stuff that is destroying you
just killing you in one way or another
and you move yourself back over here and
eventually you get yourself all the way
back this is the light over here this is
the place where you can’t go back you be
tempted
you might be tempted to steal you might
be tempted to do to use anger you might
even slip a little bit and you catch
yourself I can say it not too long ago
there was we’ve got a problem with our
sprinkler in my home one of the
sprinkler heads is off and if you ever
seen that happen you get a gusher going
up there and I’ve been wanting to get
that thing replaced for the longest time
I’m walking out of the bank and there’s
a sprinkler head right there and far the
bank not actually own the bank it’s okay
so I go there every day and I do a lot
of business which is Bank and I’m
looking at this sprinkler head and I
think you know all I have to do is just
unscrew this thing it was allowed the
more words like this tomorrow morning
it’s 98 when you order so I actually get
down there and I start turning the
sprinkler and then I start thinking do I
want this karma to you know do I want do
I want to feel do I want to take I know
it’s only a night a night and I went
into the bank they probably give me one
anyway if I happen and I turn and I just
turned back I said I want a sprinkler
head I’ll go and buy one for myself this
doesn’t belong to me
it was just like a split-second of
weakness there or whatever was but it
Illustrated to me that I can’t go back
there I could never and there was a time
in my life when I could have done that I
can be absolutely Frank with that I
could do that I can’t go back there
anymore that’s where you start that’s
the place because when you get all of
that out when that’s all gone and I mean
gone and it only comes about as a result
of the way that you think so it’s just
changing around your approach to life
the way that you think in life when that
starts to go away
what you’ve become filled up with is
what your natural self is which is this
loving accepting not fighting the
universe but instead living in it and
going with the flow and all of the kinds
of cliches that you’ve heard about
sometimes it is that’s the metaphor
there and you see every time you try to
go back into it you can’t do it and the
ingredients that make for a No Limit
life are five in my opinion the first is
quality rather than a parent you begin
to change your thinking from appearances
and how things look and how other people
view me okay because every time you find
yourself upset in life about anything
that anyone else has said what you’re
really saying is what you think of me is
more important than what I think of me
so you change from appearances to what I
call quality thinking quality what is
the quality of my life rather than and
how does it appear to others now do you
tell yourself that because my friends
don’t like me that that means there’s
something wrong with me now that’s see
that’s what you have to learn that
another person’s opinion is just that
it’s their opinion and that all it is
every time you are upset or your
children are upset because of what
somebody else says about them including
their peers what you are really saying
in that moment and this is really
important what you’re saying is what you
think of me is more important than what
I think of myself and you must never
give anybody that kind of power and
control over you because they will
always have it the funny part about
approval for those of you who really
want it enriched now I’m here to tell
you that I like approval I enjoy it I
find it one of the most exciting things
in the way I like it when people read my
books I love it when people applaud I
like it when people tell me nice things
and all I like approval
first one to admit it what I don’t do is
I don’t need approval there’s a big
difference between wanting approval and
needing when you need approval
it means you become immobilized when you
don’t get it from making other people’s
opinions more fun now for those of you
who say yeah but I want approval and I
need it and if I don’t get it and so on
understand this the people who get the
most approval in life are the ones who
care the least about it and the ones who
get the least approval are the ones who
are always going after it so if you want
approval in this paradoxical way that
I’m talking about it stop leading it
stop concerning yourself but ask
yourself who gets the most approval in
life think of the person that gets the
most approval and you’ll see that that
person couldn’t care less what other
people are thinking they’re so busy
being they don’t have time to notice
what their neighbors are doing a row
said this is that if you advance
confidently in the direction of your own
dreams and endeavor to live the life
which you have imagined you will meet
with a success unexpected in common
hours what that means is that success is
not something that you can get in life
success is an enterprise success is
something that you bring to everything
you do in your life it isn’t something
you get out of what you do and when you
get that and you learn how to get the
junk out
and advance confidently doing what makes
the most amount of sense to you they
send your inner signals and the one
issue of morality which is you never
interfere with anybody else’s right to
do the same each person has their own
right to advance confidently in the
direction of their own dreams and when
you violate that you’re violating the
principle of the universe the essence of
the universe which is cooperation
photography then success will begin to
chase you and it will come into your
life and arrive in your life in amounts
that you never dreamt them before that
you never come to things will start
happening to you that you would never
imagined before I’m working on a book
right now that’s going to be called
you’ll see it when you believe it when
you start believing in some of these
principles you’ll start seeing things
that you were blind to for so long when
you were back here in the 2 and the 3
and the 4 and the 5 when you were moving
away from yourself as long as you’re
moving back towards your Universal
essence your harmony with yourself your
cooperation with the rest things will
start happening in ways that you never
dreamt up you’ll call that synchronicity
and we hear the term that we used to
explain how unexplainable coincidence
sort of happened in our life and
I’m going to share a couple of with you
before we leave the the quality versus
appearance in your life means that you
get that inner candle flame working in a
way that gives you quality independent
of what other people think of you Maslow
and defining self actualizing No Limit
people that they are independent of the
good opinions of other people on the
good opinion of other people independent
of it they’re so busy advancing
confidently doing the things that makes
them and bringing success to changing
their baby diapers and bringing success
to weeding their guards and bringing it
to the job they bring it on the airplane
so that when they run into somebody who
is who is rude to them a stewardess that
is rude they don’t see it as an attack
on them that’s just where they are and
they send them love help them a little
bit you know they’re kind but somebody
wants to get in on the freeway and
they’re one old temptation when they
were on the one to the sixth was to say
oh yeah nobody’s getting in front of me
I’m getting there first it’s like it’s
slowed down they don’t have all that
type-a stuff of having to beat somebody
else and having to defeat somebody it is
it’s a new way of being it’s a way of
quality where you’re harmony allows you
to cooperate and you are a part of what
this whole thing is about new way of
being quality rather than appearances
another new way of being very important
living your life on ethics rather than
rules ethics rather than rules all these
rules all these ways of having to do
things somebody else dictates to them do
you know that some of the most immoral
acts in the world have been perpetrated
in the name of the rules these are the
law what do you think Nazi Germany was
all about everybody doing all these
horrible things to other people I’m only
doing my job with the defense we all
heard at Nuremberg I was just doing my
job
if it’s an immoral rule it’s immoral to
obey it and self-actualizing people as
mezzo tells us have rules inside of them
that they could never open never
disobeyed ever and they have to do with
ethics how you treat people how do you
think we get to where we are now you
know who Rosa Parks was the woman in the
south the black woman in the thousand
said not today I’m not going to the back
today no way I know what the rules are
the rules were all over the place if you
didn’t need if you needed a reminder
there were signs everyplace colored in
the back white in the front and she said
no I’m sitting here and that made a
whole different ethics not rules when
your children start disobeying rules
that need to be disobeyed don’t be
surprised when I was in the service they
had a policy in Guam where I was
stationed which would not allow the
Guamanian civilians to shop in the PX is
in the Navy exchanges but they did allow
all other civilians to shop in the Navy
exchange experience but if you were
Guamanian that is if your skin was dark
and your eyes were shaved a little
different then you couldn’t a clear
outright violation I was a service I was
in the Navy the communications
cryptographer they had a newspaper in
the Guam Daily News and it said an
invitation to speak your mind
[Music]
there was a letter writing contest and
they offered $75 to the first prize
winner $75 it was 1961 and was fortunate
to me it was a month’s pay so I entered
the contest and I knew I would win it I
had already written a novel at that a
whole novel I’ve written while I was in
LA I do it wasn’t going to be a contest
I felt sorry for the other people
entering it I do I was going to win
unfortunately I didn’t realize that when
you’re in the service and you have an
opinion and you don’t submit it to the
chain of command that you can be
court-martialed for that so the
headlines on next week’s Guam Daily News
were us sailor a sales policy of
discrimination big hot stuff all right
and I was called before a Vice Admiral
commander naval forces Marianas Islands
and threatened with a court-martial
because I had disobeyed the rules even
though the rule was immoral there are
lots of them like that and when I went
in and they threatened me with the
court-martial I told them this was my
battle plan I didn’t have Xerox machines
in those days so I had to get a lot of
carbon paper I wrote a letter to the
President John F Kennedy and I wrote a
letter to the Secretary of the Navy and
I wrote a letter I was my hometown was
Detroit I wrote a letter to Detroit News
and a letter to the Detroit Free Press
telling them what was happening to me as
a result of just expressing my opinion
about an immoral act that was going on
over here on Guam and I showed the naval
vice-admiral my letters right there and
I’ve only sent the one to the president
of the Secretary of the Navy these
letters go to the newspapers across the
country there was one there to the New
York Times as well the Los Angeles nine
it was the I just spread them out before
him I said if you court-martial me
punish me in any way and what’s going to
happen is the world is going to find out
about this policy and I’m prepared I’m
ready I can handle it and I was 20 years
old 21 not only did I get a blessing
from that because all things come in
blessings for you I got out 90 days
early and they stamped on my record P I
because the president took it up and
sent it to the secretary muster I never
heard from him but I got the P I on your
record means political influence and
they don’t like anybody with political
influence and as soon as they saw that
this is somebody we probably will be
giving a discharge of real soon there
was no book there was no court-martial
and in September of 1962 a brand new
policy was initiated on Guam which
allowed any civilian to shop the Navy
exchanges and it came about as a result
of someone saying these rules are
immoral and therefore it’s immoral
innovative new ways of being
ethics rather than rule and when your
kids want to know why how come these
rules are so stupid how come we have to
do that encourage them my mother always
did that she would have to help me
you know there’s none of the messes that
I got myself into because I did it in my
impetuous youth I would just when they
would say to me what’s more important
your job or school I was at honest you
have to catch up of course that’s how I
felt in those days but what you do put
out in the world is exactly what’s
coming back to you and if you find
things coming back to you that you don’t
like and don’t understand don’t ask
yourself why these things are coming to
you ask yourself what you’re doing to
make them come back to you and when you
start putting the responsibility on
yourself you are seeing dramatic changes
dramatic changes new way of being
instead of ethic instead of rules ethics
a new another new way of being instead
of looking all your life for
achievements and externals try living
your life on knowledge for the sake of
knowledge knowledge instead of
achievement for the sake of knowledge
being in a in a context in which you
don’t have to collect a lot of merit
badges you don’t have to collect a lot
of a lot of awards and other people’s
value judgments that you go to school or
you go out into the world or you read or
whatever you do because it makes sense
to you not because of what somebody else
is going to put on a transcript or where
you’re going to appear
classless we need to help our children
to understand and value the importance
of knowledge for the sake of knowledge
and doing things that makes sense rather
than taking the easy way knowledge
rather than always trying to achieve
we’re in an achievement oriented society
which tells us that we evaluate and
judge a human being based upon how many
cheap achievements he has but most of
the people who get caught up in that
trap and are always in this circle of
trying to get ahead trying to always get
ahead their reward for that almost
always as higher blood pressure ulcers
early death and even things like cancer
we’re beginning to find out are related
to the kinds of stresses that we have
and remember it’s a perfect universe
there’s no stress in it there’s only
people thinking stressful thoughts and
when you put that pressure on yourself
to always achieve and get ahead of the
other guy you miss what it’s really all
about there’s nothing wrong with goals
it’s falling in love with them that’s
the problem it’s not being able to be
flexible when we alter them you have a
goal to get here to get $100,000 in the
bank to get to this promotion to get two
cars in your garage whatever it is that
your goal is and you’re on your way
today and you’re always working ethical
all of this stuff on your way to the
goal it’s called striving and that’s
what you learn striving so I’m is a very
low level place to be when you get to
your goal because all you’ve ever known
is driving you will just always suffer
from the disease called more you will
just upgrade your goal to $200,000 for
cars and to houses and another wife and
a younger one and all of these kinds of
things if you have a goal and you
understand that every step along the way
the present moment to enjoy there
then the goal won’t become any
obsessions I don’t have any goals and we
blasted where you’re going to be five
years what are you going to be doing
what’s next for you I just remember what
Lincoln said to me was like the greatest
person who ever sat in that White House
he said I’ve never had a policy he said
I just tried to do what made the
greatest amount of us each and every day
of my life as I was that there as the
person of the United State and I think
there’s something really significant in
that and you don’t have to get it all
planned out and follow a certain pattern
and do it a certain way if you just sort
of trust your inner instinct and go with
that and live each moment the gold stuff
we’ll all take care of itself
but if you’re sacrificing and pushing
your life aside and suffering on your
way to trying to get someplace you’ll
never get there it will always elude you
because once you get there you’ll just
have to upgrade it and that’s because
that’s all you will know now is that
purest form of sanity living in this
moment and enjoying it
and all the rest of it will sort of work
its way out another new way of being for
me is to think of yourself in terms of
personal authority rather than being an
authoritarian personal authority a
person who has authority never needs to
dominate anyone else ever dominating
doesn’t become necessary in business you
can have a Thor the people who have the
most authority are the ones who listen
the most and the ones who are the most
conscientious about what do other people
have to say a person in a relationship
who have to dominate somebody else and
has to make the other person submissive
shows that they don’t have authority
because they’re getting their power not
from within for themselves but on the
basis of who they can control and that’s
never last
never last the only thing that lasts is
having inner power if you will know
thyself
Shakespeare said know thyself the more
you know yourself the more you the more
you become honest with yourself honestly
becomes just a way of life and no I
don’t think the world necessarily does
but you can’t run your world you can’t
run your world based upon what the rest
of the people in the world want or don’t
want to me honesty is like it’s a karma
that goes out into the world how people
treat you in the world is their Karma
how you react is yours and what when you
react to it with dishonesty that’s what
you’re putting out into the world
dishonesty and when you put this on
honestly out into the world that’s
what’s going to come back to you because
what goes out is what comes back at all
as you sow so shall you reap I mean it
in every great institution that there is
in the world whatever whether it’s a
religion or a philosophy or whatever
what you put out is what comes back
whatever you plant is what you’re going
to get back and the more that you put
out honesty just because if what you are
because you are being honesty you’re not
trying to be honest you’re just being
honest
then that’s what will come back to you
my regular basis and what it doesn’t
need to see that as another test for you
to pass
and finally a fifth way of being that is
new for me and because become a way of
life
it’s called serenity instead of
acquisition the more you try to acquire
the more you try to get the more you try
to collect in your life and evaluate
yourself on the basis of that the less
serenity you’re going to have more is
less it’s almost a secret of the
universe
serenity means inner peace means that
you can find joy in every moment that
you have in your life instead of always
looking for it it means that while you
are driving along the countryside you
know and seeing instead of saying oh
this is I’m on my way to this point and
you can open your eyes and see it with
new eyes see see the rolling mountains
see the grass either deer see the sky
you can just stop whatever you are in
this second wherever you are and just
look around you and you can begin to
appreciate just your and your
surroundings in your environment then
you can begin to appreciate the people
that are in your life and even the ones
that are negative and then you’re having
the most difficulty with you can
practice a new way of being with them
which is sending them love letting them
flower send them books and imitate send
them something and just see what kind of
reaction that you get super emotional
health it’s just an attitude an attitude
is everything
I want to summarize these new ways of
being and give you the most important
ingredient on the path as we leave
I said that it’s quality in your life to
be focusing on rather than appearances
and it’s ethics rather than rules on its
knowledge rather than achievement all
the time and is being personally an
authority on yourself rather than the
sort variant and trying to be dominant
dominating someone else or to be
dominated and serenity which is the name
of my mother of my youngest daughter
Sarina rather than acquisitions and
accumulations and trying to prove
yourself that way when you get that
serenity which comes from the way that
you think always then you will replace
all of the other junk that keeps you
back here between 6 & 1 on that clock
and once you pass it once you get past
it you’ll never ever be able to go back
because the light living in the life is
a way of a way of being that if you’re
not there you don’t get it yet but once
you see it and once it begins to take
over your life you can never go back
that because that is your purpose it
isn’t your purpose isn’t to try to be
loving your purpose is to be loved and
only have that to give away well but
there’s one other ingredient and it’s
really crucial forgiveness is the vital
ingredient on the path of enlightenment
and if you don’t know how to do it then
practice sending out love take the
person or the people that you’re having
conflict with any place in your life
send them something you don’t have to
even do it physically just send them
something
that comes from inside and what’s inside
is how you choose to think if you can
make that love and do that and that is
to me the test not whether you can love
someone when they smell good when they
do everything that you’re supposed but
whether you can love someone who has
sent you hate or anguish in your life
and send it back you don’t have to
forget you don’t have to go back but you
got to get it out of you because it just
blocking you and holding you back and
when I said you’ll see it when you
believe it all my life I’ve wanted to
write fiction a parable three four years
ago I decided to go off to Hawaii to
Maui to kind of poly Beach into right
now the books that had met the most
difference in my life were a little
prince Candide to Siddhartha Jonathan
Livingston Seagull illusions Alice
Through the Looking Glass Gulliver’s
Travels parables teaching parables
stories that can tell a message I went
over to Molly
and I sat down on the beach and I’ve
been talking about writing this I’ve
been talking about doing this and it was
something that I have a little girl and
her name is Skye SK ye I decided to
reverse the letters in their name
ey K s and put an AI in there which
symbolizes the self I kiss I just
created this parable of a woman whose
name as I guess who lived on another
planet the planet is Uranus and it’s a
duplicate mirror image of Earth only I
can only see things as they are not as
we would like them to be and therefore
people are neurotic on Uranus because
they have to be she gives the anxiety
attack report if you will because I
exciting really does attack over there
and tell about anxiety coming in on the
weekends and while my visitor in my
parable goes to Uranus meets ICA’s she
cannot understand as he describes earth
why people would be neurotic by choice
on earth why would anybody be unhappy or
depressed or miserable when they don’t
have when anxiety doesn’t attack and
when elevators really don’t scare you
and when if you want a complex on Uranus
you want to give a complex to your wife
you go to the store and buy one it’s
what happened well my husband gave me a
complex honest – whereas on earth if you
have a complex it’s because you’ve
chosen to have voice you can’t figure it
out ok so she comes here observes our
people and begins to see the secrets of
the universe and gives us these secret
talks to the top leaders in our field
and that was my parable when I wrote it
she gives all of these wonderful secrets
some of which I’ve been talking about
here today what I want to tell you is
that my wife gave me a license plate and
the license plate says mikus ok into
vanity plates and I was pumping gas on
federal highway in Fort Lauderdale
Florida a little manse in Greece came up
to me and he said but means this ftas
which is how you say that in Greek
national that’s just a works my
daughter’s name spelled backward is
parable that I wrote
he said now I said in Greek that the
word could ever be
it means best way
