Somewhere at some level knew about it or you wouldn't be here today and Teddy is right Theo is right you wouldn't be sticking around The true dark energies will not stay there can be doubtful energies don't don't get me wrong Because you are human and you're going to test and you're going to test and maybe you have not experienced this, but everyone who has sat with a great master has experienced it. And you may not even admit it to me. And you may feel so unworthy of that moment that you will hide it from yourself. But you know what I'm talking about. that you go around being a pious-faced fool. But it does mean you will continue to search for that spark for the rest of your existence. And in so doing, you're going to find the truth that you can share with your brother. Because those masters will not lie to you, it will be for your growth, and they'll tease you and they'll test you.

And at some point, you grow enough and that's where you are, Dave. You're too far out here on God's side to go back. And everything else in life is acceptable and it's alright and you can get interested in it, but it has no merit in your daily existence other than it's necessary to perform. And of course while we are having to perform the mundane, our souls long for that connection that isn't ever even broken. But it looks better because it's like the cow we witnessed, you know, the cow sticking her tongue out there as far as she can to get this piece of grass under that fence. And oh my goodness, if she just finally sticks it out a little further and gets it, oh it's choice. Definitely greener.

But what we long for is that womb, that comfort, that security. And yet the womb itself we know is a silent place. And all we are is existing in that. We have left a place where we are all light and creation and experience and no wonder you are allowed to be what I would as nearly as anything call sleep total sleep anesthesia absolutely nothingness except just being you are molding you are making you are becoming and then when you are brought out when you are birthed out of that. It is not like birthing a child into a harsh world. The world may be harsh, but it is like the explosion of the Big Bang. And you won't ever go back from it. And if there is any comfort that I can offer you who search and find yourself falling short of your own expectations of healing, of doing whatever. Well, if I really feel this way, why can I not just heal? Why can I not just lay hands on? Because it's not your business. At the very most, all you There is no job more important than another, only different.

And once you, you don't even have to go through this experience, you just grow into it. EJ would say, well, I just, you know, I have never had anything like that. But by God, we're going to sit with this. I'm going to get it done. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Why? Why? Why does it mean anything to you? Why do you want to go through all this misery? Well, because of my job. And I just will do it. You don't even know why. And then, and then when you sit down and confront yourself, you do know why.

Because this is it. You are realization in a world of total non-realization. Where you're called the insane one. And pretty soon you think, am I? Well, okay, it ain't so bad. If that's sanity, I prefer my way. And at some level I know, at some level, at some level, you wouldn't you can create a different path. And you will. But for those of you fortunate enough to have experienced that moment of, I'm calling it, rebirth. It's not born-again Christianity, it isn't even born-again.

the birthing of soul, who is finally on this side of realization. And where are you going to get this except a teacher is willing to share with you, and you willing to hear? And there is no teacher in the world who is going to waste his time, at least his second time, trying to reach someone who doesn't give a damn. He may try two or three times because of the responsibility he feels, and if he is not heard, he will release you and you will go your way. And some will run from master to master for different reasons. Bogleith runs from thing to thing to thing, hoping to salve his soul from that which he has been. And we look for the perfect religion, the perfect expression.

You're not going to find it there. of the brother who simply has traveled further and you will recognize it and then you're a little embarrassed that it's so so humble and so simple and then you're relieved that you can come in your dungarees and sneakers and be just as at home as if you had dressed up in your tuxedo to go to the award ceremony. Because this is the acceptability of true brotherhood without judgment. That's what you're looking for. And it's so hard to equate when you find it. You just know you're in it. And nothing really is required of you except respect. If you go to visit anyone, Baba is going to insist upon respect, not necessarily for himself, other than he has achieved as the teacher, and would expect you, if you have sought his intelligence, to respect him, to revere him, and if you do not find him to your needs, please leave. And why would you go out and denounce him? Because he differs from your opinion.

And a master will be one who grows great enough to not give a damn about your opinion. He knows he's right. And we as teachers to give in to the silliness of these opinions. Well you know Hatton you're not too bad if you would just. Well fine. If I didn't just would you mind leaving and going and teaching your class somewhere else? Because I am NOT here necessarily as a teacher I'm here to bring you the truth and do my job. If you want great sermons, go down to the Crystal Cathedral or go to the Pope. I am not a preacher, I just sound like one, because I am passionate about what I know. Please, not what I think, what I know. I may have to think about some of the things around here, and that's my opinion. But about God, I know.

I know. And some of you are coming into your knowingness, and it's just about too emotionally strong tenderness to not just bury you in it. And if there is something wrong with wanting to be within God all the time, then man, there's something sick and wrong with me. But you see, I find I can be within God all the time. I am a teacher. Because I care more for my student and the truth of my subject than I care for anything about myself. Anything.

And we have a job to do. We have to walk it together. I don't want to walk it alone. And you're not quite ready. And you better damn well believe I can carry you if I have to. Because there's not a one of you in here that I wouldn't crawl if I had to to carry you. Because you're going to make it. You've already made it. You have already made it. So in your experience, relax and enjoy it. Hold those memories dear.

Because we still have a way to go. And don't stop being lonely for God. Because the minute you stop being lonely for God, you turn to the things of this earth. And they become the big issue. And yet as long as you are of the earth, manifest on the earth with an earthly job, you've got to experience in it and know it. Know it. You can't get by without the things of the world if you're going to be in the world. That's why the everlasting ones will be on the mountaintop. They don't have to be in the world. They will come down to experience in the world if they're needed or if they want to. Just like we have. I didn't say me, This is a game.

This is why we'll win. If you can call it winning or losing, it's only a game. We've already won. And the ones who do not wish to enter this next game we're starting better get off. Because we're going to go right on. And you better well believe, and when you ask, what can you do? Let's create this thing. You've got the tool, let's make it happen. We need the abundance, let's accept it. Let's create it, let's make it happen.

You have the tool, let's precipitate it. Allow it, take it. For goodness sakes, you deserve it. I'm so sick of people thinking they are unworthy. In fact, maybe you deserve more than is thrust off on you. And you humbly think you're not worthy. Oh yes, you are. God does not make errors. Never. It's late and now you've got me all emotionally stirred up. I'm gonna have to go for somebody that their first time here I want to say what an honor it is to be here.

It's been an excellent trip and it's exceeded my expectations beyond anything that I've come to believe that I think that's the way God works is anything that exceeds expectations. Thank you very much. I accept that for everybody here. We are humbled that you would come. And we appreciate it. And we appreciate your words of recognition. Because we are just small. But it's enough. We've got plenty around.

And we're lonely for each other and if you have felt an acceptance here that's all we need that's all we want and we thank you for that is there anything else anyone would like to ask or it has been an amazing few days. Will you help me with my long drive in? He helps me with my long drive out. Ask God. This is what you call the local cop-out. Use your wisdom. If you get tired, rest. There is nothing on the other end that you've got to get there so fast that you risk one moment of infirmity because you were careless.

Not unless you want to learn a hard lesson. And remember something. We need this team. And cutting out on Saturday for any reason is only going to bring you back on Tuesday because we need you. And if there is a relocation, that's acceptable. On the other hand, if you do it out of deliberate carelessness, you're going to have to work anyway and the leg's going to hurt or the back's going to hurt or whatever. Just remember it when you get careless. And if you're ready to go on with our mission, our task, then you'll just put that light around you and you'll say, well, don't go anywhere without that light.

It will shield you from everything. And if you're going to drive, I suggest you get it completely around your vehicle. And you would be amazed if you put it around your vehicle, and I have witnessed it and so have some of you, where a car will go so far over the edge of a cliff that it will just be balanced there. Or it will stop three inches from the barrier, in the cement barrier or the tree. Ask God and God will protect you, but you have to ask. So make it a habit to always ask for protection, but guess what? So you may serve His will. That is not worship, that is respect for your Creator who knows better than you about you and is you.

So everyone, please go in peace, stay in peace, whatever you're going to do, here or there. And one of these days, it is my promise, all of you who would like to be here, will be able to be here. Of course, I may be somewhere else, but I'm going to be here to watch my children grow. We're going to do it. You are going to do it. It It is the demand, the creative ability that will make it work. And if everybody worked at this tonight, for instance, there may be some response tomorrow. But let God find that place, because you don't know where it is. And when you get over the fact that you have to have it according to your limitations and your restrictions, yes, you have to have guidelines, yes, you have to have affirmations, but don't limit them. Because God knows the perfect one. And you don't.
