Complete the Moment and Fulfill the Purpose of Your Life (Remastered Classic Talk)

Talk Takeaways

You are sure about what you need to complete your life, but not only don't you know, the part of you that seeks to complete your life can't know it. You have to get past the assumption that you know what you are looking for.

The beauty of what completes a human being requires the human being's complete humility, which is why almost no human being ever knows what it takes and what is required to be a complete human being.

Human beings have never had more of the trappings that are supposed to produce freedom, and yet people have never been less free. Freedom is an order of being that can't be possessed.

If you want to know the extent of the invisible captivity that you feel, measure the frustrations and explosions that take place inside of you. Those are the indicators of being in a prison. And frustration is the seed of violence.

You can't get angry at another human being without having first entered into that moment with an unseen set of demands. It is hell to go through life feeling as though you are owed something.

Birds fly, fish swim, men pray. The first nature of human beings is created to be in communion with that which has given them life.

We are given to the moment for the purpose of being an instrument through which Heaven and earth is reconciled.

In Christian terms, there is an active force: the Father; a passive force: the Son; and a reconciling force: the Holy Ghost.

What would be the point of anything new being born unless there were something to witness it? Something must witness creation. A human being is intended to be the witness, and thereby participate in creation.

The momentary awareness of any disturbance is the appearance of the reconciling force that is present to the moment and completes the moment... if it is not rejected.

The unreconciled opposites in a human being attract to the human being the conditions that the Divine needs in order to harmonize that pair.

We have no choice but to repeat in life whatever is not completed.

Every pain that appears in us can be seen as appearing because of a part of us that is responsible for it.

The attempt to feel complete is born out of a disturbance in you that can't be answered by the nature that doesn't want the disturbance.

If we complete the purpose for the life that we are given, then we are as complete as any creation can be, because nothing higher can be done by a creation other than to fulfill the purpose that it was given existence for.

We cannot be completed by the moment unless we are present to it.
