You know, I've been on this floor right here completely crippled.
I've felt spiritually crushed, like a sledgehammer was just literally tripped
into my spirit and just bashed into my soul. That's on this floor more than one
time and throughout my life. And, I'm not going to be one of those people that you
think about when you're at that point, when you have this darkness over you,
when you have this crushing defeat, I'm not going to be one of those people you
think about and you say, "Why have you betrayed me?" Because there's going to be
people. There's plenty of them, that they're going to sit there and they're
going to tell you that, "Oh, as long as you're perfect, and positive,
and good everything great will happen in your life. I'm not going to lie to you.
I've got better news than that. Guess what? If that was true, this would be a
terrible world. Would you really want…let's say, example, love.
Okay. If your partner was chained up to you, chained up with metal and steel,
up to you, and if they didn't love you they would die, okay, they were forced to
love you or else they would die, is that a relationship? Of course not.
Okay. How about if we lived in a world without any free will at all?
Everyone had to do good, everyone had to do absolutely 100% good or else they'd be
murdered. Is that freedom? No, of course not. The same thing exists with real life,
okay? Duality is the good thing. There is darkness and there is light.
There is good and bad. There is positive and negative, and we are going to go
through those states. There are going to be times when you're on the floor,
when you are crushed. You've probably had it already many times,
and when you're in that state it just feels like, "Ugh, why is this happening to
me?" And, your mind does that stupid thing where it puts on a record like,
"What did I do? How did I do this to myself? Why do I deserve this?" and those
are all stupid questions because it doesn't work like that. You just have to
remember this. You have to remember this. First, the duality, duality of life.
You can't have someone chained up, okay? And, we can't all be forced to be good or
it's worthless. It's worthless. So, what that means is just at the same time that,
you know, someone can really hurt you and that someone can break into my house right
now and destroy me, and they could kill me. I mean, something terrible could
happen that also opens up space for the freedom, for beautiful things to happen.
And, you've had beautiful things happen to you.
