Uh, my, uh, I mean, uh, I got to you. I mean, I didn't want to me. I'm more than we've had the kind of, uh, you wish you everything. That's what I can do. I'm going to start transmission versus returning. My people are not stupid right anymore. So I'd like to talk about it. What do we mean by investigation? What's the point of investigation? What are we talking about? Another word that you sometimes use is that other nations had literally the meaning of to arrange your order, to bring the order, to bring the order, to bring the order [...] to bring the order.
[01:34]
just to admit it to the heart. And this creation carries some of that, some of that indeed. It puts me in the house just to be human, to be trained hard to awaken it. But another reason is to be admitted Another meeting of this related is to be reduced into a new field. Our field in this case is the field of 40-shot guy, like Ellen. The field of You just want to be far away, even with lightning.
[02:39]
If you drop the lightning, or if you drop the spirituality, record everything on this. That's a great question. You only know how you're doing. But what I'm questioning about is what is the situation? I feel like discussing the literature is very much like discussing the field in which you introduce. Realistically, the process of the next creation is very much like the new field that you're entering.
[03:52]
Namely, in order to go to, in order to see this in the creation, in order to partake of the illiteration. To have the proud, to have the person who has the toilet in a way, rock it and give up. You know Sanskrit word for this kind of pronunciation. You can use the spray book. [...]
[04:54]
You can use the spray book. It will also lead to a note, when you find so rather annoying. It will also lead to a poorer relationship. It's not necessary if you have three pin. It's going on a relationship. A prototype of a relationship that is parallel to the hero of all things in beauty. For a particular situation, two people who are open to each other.
[05:55]
through the speech of Ocum to each other. This would be a literature-colored experience. People used to throw in the spirit through open speech. An open is really began. You don't have any equipment or information about even how to do Ocum. Or that's evaporated. Not to mention that you don't put aside all your various information about what is sacred or holy. What we live, what we find. Putting all of that aside and leaving to open up it. It's a kind of openness that is really initiated into the do it work.
[06:58]
But to put the problem here in the sense that initiation seems to be an addition to the court to do this wrong. And yet, on the other side, the initiation is just to incur it, not being a member of any court other than the biggest possible court. The court will include everything. This is the Jewish law. And I think that some people that are required to condone are those who are... who have kind of... that kind of distaste, or whose taste is that they don't like talking about sacred things. So when we talk about nothing is sacred, as soon as you drop everything, you can meet a real place without carrying anything.
[08:17]
You don't need to be sacred anymore. So at a time like now, and particularly as we approach this poor mental initiative. Sacredness may rock up when we see sacredness here and there. We may not be able to stop it after sacredness, but the holy may have better. Okay, don't worry about it. But this is not the ceremony we've got, it's just that at times I feel people are going to naturally drop up. It's part of the terrain, the landscape of such a thing. But I think it's quite healthy to be cynical about this stuff.
[09:26]
Because this kind of stuff can be found legitimize it into some kind of evolving, which make such events impermeable to all, to all. And then again, right when it starts to deteriorate, it starts to get more and more special. This open meaning without anything help, but either part is very kind. It's completely insignificant. And insignificant means nothing special, but also means there's no sign. Actually, no sign. There are criteria all over the place, but to be applied in this kind of situation, we're wasting people.
[10:42]
So this is about leading a true mind, a true heart. In other words, both parts are willing to drop everything other than the leader. It's like, you don't know what time you're doing. And then we talk about, it's like catching from both sides of the lake. The chip pecs, the min-pec fat, chip pecs, min-pec, back and forth it, but you fell, shelf fat, so it could So now I'm at the difficulty jumpstrip.
[12:27]
For me, it seems like I'd say more about something that's been lifted in. Simple message, you got it? Very ordinary situation. But can we all, those of us participating in the ceremony and those of us observing or participating in the ceremony, can we keep this fresh? Ordinary mind throughout And if it's an initiation, a new kind of initiation, of course I could say it's an initiation.
[14:04]
Because it's also an initiation into the many of the people who write the agreement and go to Stockton. And again, although I consider this linear and what you do very wonderful and important, I don't wish for myself or really to take it seriously. And because it's so important, we shouldn't take a citizen. And an interesting definition that is serious is that you want other people to believe in what we believe in.
[15:14]
If you find the way of enlightening work for you, and we really just put the whole heart of it, that's enough. And if you do that, you're making very grateful to this practice language. Very grateful to find something that you can that will totally evade in life. But the next step, I told him that others will do the same. Although, quite naturally that may occur, quite naturally it occurs. But if you do something good, you want the friend to do it too. Right? That won't happen to him. You think you want to share?
[16:30]
So I don't think we can stop that natural feeling. We want to share something very helpful at the time. But there's kind of problems with this kind of plaque in the works. But there's kind of problems with this kind of plaque in the works. But then that kind of problem, you know, I want to do this kind of clothing, buddy. Well, this is, you may not be able to stop this kind of company. But this is where I would suggest, you know, Unless it happens, it should not be taken too seriously. This is what we call taking things too seriously. But you want the other person to believe or do what you find useful.
[17:40]
Rather than before you find anything useful or unusual or anything. Before anything comes up. Already. That's the relationship. before your friend tells you the problem. Or even before you think anything about your friend after they tell you the problem. But think of the reading order before you convert your opinion, exotic, or into equipment with help. And the leader, and the leader actually finds an ordinariness that I am alluding to
[19:29]
exercise is really something that improves the lip of it. This is medicine for the initiation to make sure that you don't make too much of it. And again, the funny thing is, on one side, Perhaps people are figuring how ordinary initiation is. They might not be interested to come, to not see it. But on the other side, I was distracted with them. It was important. It's decent, people make that much pressure. Sorry, special. You can make all this preparation and do something for you in this.
[20:34]
Anyway, this is our, this is our, this kind of effort. And while I'm sitting there, when I talk to you, in between the words I say, all the words come up when you try and move that I haven't said.
[22:03]
For example, lots of jokes. I could tell you about the rehabilitation ceremony. And So, uh... I'm not holding the jokes back because they're not weird or not bad. I don't believe the jokes in order to make the literature ceremony simple or make it for me. I don't believe anything to make it for you. It doesn't even tell you. I forgot, but I grew up in Minnesota. So when you see this, it's not rather old than 40.
[23:07]
But Minnesota didn't do strange, oriental rituals. And then we grew up in Minnesota. to cut through all that sacredness and lovely, special nusense to use on such a vision. You don't need anything to cut through. Before you add anything, you already cut through the whole thing. So this is the origin. The ceremony is called the origin of the dream of America. And you see things go through all these rules. They move all this stuff around, all these people in the family, and still everybody stay together at the source and interact.
[24:19]
Person to person. If you know, second play, he's ready. Don't do that. You want to do that. And you encourage each other, and I encourage you, and you encourage me to meet each other with us. But in summary, I'm suggesting to be cynical about all this stuff.
[25:51]
To watch, keep your eye out and take it seriously. But also, to completely post it. and your openness will open up the rabbit tree It's a little cynical and not mysterious instruction about openness
