SECRETS OF LIFE

"There is no threat, no danger in anything exterior to you. There is no
human being, there is no social system, no government, no unseen force that
is a threat to your well, perfect state of being. Now that is a fact.
That's a fact!
And that fact goes one hundred percent contrary to your belief, doesn't it?
Doesn't it? Now do you want your belief or do you want the fact? You want the
belief. All right, call it opinion, theory, acquired opinion, whatever.
I'm going to tell you again, and I want you to accept it as true. There is
not a single thing out there in the world of any kind that represents a
danger to who you really are. Now you don't see this, because you're not
who you really are, you're someone else. You're all someone else, aren't
you? How many different personalities, ten, twenty, fifty, all taking over,
all wanting to steer the ship and being pushed overboard by someone else
wanting to take it over.
Now we have to get several points out of the way so that you can see this
clearly for yourself. One of them is called self-protective fear. Now God
and nature gave you a fear of running out into heavy traffic, of falling
overboard on the boat, gave you self-protective fear of harm and loss to
the physical body. Good. If it wasn't for that, we would all jump off the
boat and think we could swim 80 miles to shore.
But nature has given this as a warning, as a protection, so as to keep the
physical body alive, and we obey that quite naturally; you don't have to
think about it, do you? Something in you tells you don't lean too far
over the side of the boat.
All right, now that is not the kind of fear that we are talking about
because that fear of losing the body is in time, and we're talking about a
state which is above fear because it is above time, therefore in eternity.
So try to take a leap in the your thinking and see that there is a power, a
spiritual power that is above your natural and right protection of the
physical self, that is superior to it. Therefore, even that fear of someone
hurting your physical self is not valid in long range eternal thinking.
See, the physical body lives in time; you are 20 years old today and it
seems like tomorrow you'll be 30, right, 40. The physical body lives in the
physical self that lives in time, it changes.
The spirit of truth, which is higher than the physical body, does not live in
time at all, therefore it is not affected by anything that happens to the
physical self. And you're all so worried about that, what's going to happen
to you. Ah, because you've been looking in the mirror, thousands of
times over the years and you've looked and you say that's me and you won't
listen to the truth when it says that is not you."
