Yeah, I mean, I know. It's a scary thought though. Well not really scary but sometimes | |
Something that's mind opening can appear scary. | |
I don't know, I just think we should all just sit down and think, even if we just think just | |
A little bit, um, the answers will probably all show up. | |
(Where would u lead them? Think about that. If the whole world decided to follow U.) | |
Yeah, absolutely. But before we can think about leading anybody, I think we should think about where we're leading ourselves. (Think about that.) | |
No, I know what u mean. It's not a job I would want, trying to lead anybody. I mean, I have trouble leading myself. (Where would u lead them?) | |
But if I had to lead anybody anywhere I think I would, I'd probably just try to lead them back to themselves. | |
Yeah, because, the self is not a place that u can lead anyone. Everybody would have to find their own way, and then the leading job would be over for me. I like that. | |
Yeah, but when we're first born, u know, we're our own person but soon after, u know, when we start to learn and we learn from our parents and we start to go to school, we really, quickly start to get away from ourselves. | |
I mean, u can't really go through any structured teaching, uh, learning establishment with your own ideas. U know, u're always taught to fit in. But what are we fitting into? | |
U know, don't color outside the lines. Who drew the lines in the first place. I don't know | |
(Think about that!) | |
Right. That makes sense. Yeah, but I've spent my whole life trying to be in control of myself. But I dislike any one or any situation that tries to control me. | |
So, check this out. My trying to control myself just causes me to dislike myself. I'm finally understanding it. | |
I should just let me be. That's what I ask everybody else to do. | |
Right, yeah exactly, yeah, the act of trying to control something usually means that there's something wrong with it, and so that means we have to control it obviously. | |
To control something usually means taking its freedom away. So why would I spend a life fighting for freedom, just so I can take it away. Um, In the name of control. | |
(If the whole world decided today, to follow u. where would u lead them? Think about that) | |
Vibrations? Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. The thing is nothing ever stops vibrating. | |
Scientists know that, I mean they'll tell u that everything is a vibration. Right, yeah. | |
I mean, things vibrate faster they may appear as light, slower it may appear as something solid or something like that. But even thoughts are vibrations. | |
But the key here is that nothing ever stops vibrating, ever. | |
So check it out. Everything that ever vibrated is still vibrating. Everything that ever was still is. That's cool. | |
Yeah, me too. It's really makes me want to pay attention to the vibrations that I'm putting out there. | |
"Cause do they ever go away? (Think about that!) | |
(If the whole world decided to follow u ) | |
OK, Yeah, It's been fun. | |
( Where would u lead them?) | |
I love u too, Bye Bye |
