Full Transcript:
Jon: She says, "Greetings to everybody and Guy. Could you please comment about the relationship between human condition and divine order in us? Thank you."
GF: You know, I've been trying to say something for 3,000 years... what the heck, one more time! I'll never stop trying. Please, God, that one day you see you must never rely on any human being for anything. Your frustration is that your reliance isn't satisfied by what it is that you're told, so that you can put the question to bed. You're not supposed to put the question to bed. You ARE the question. You think life is always asking, asking, asking... Life isn't asking you questions. Life is trying to show you that if you're properly engaged in the moment, the question that unfolds is answered in the exact same moment that it appears, because you ARE that. I AM that. And I know, it's part of the work here... I get it... you know in some ways this school is a bit of a nursery, a hatchery. Here we are, just like for me, I was starving spiritually, I wanted real nourishment. But in the end, the way that one gets real nourishment is by connecting yourself directly to the source of that wisdom. And no thought is the source of wisdom. No teaching is the source of wisdom. No teacher is the source of wisdom. If the teacher has wisdom and shares it, he or she is trying to point to you to make your own connection by being willing to live without the answers that you want to satisfy the sense of being incomplete. Beatriz, you ARE the condition. You ARE the relationship between humanity and the Divine. You are it! Just as my wife is, and Terri... well I don't know about Charlie [laughter]. You are IT. Haven't you always wanted somebody to tell you you're it? You're it -- but not the way you think. You're it when you know you're not it. Okay, Beatriz, stay close. The truth has a beautiful way of dismantling everything. It really does. It's extraordinary. The light dismantles everything that is illusion -- and anything that isn't light is an illusion. So all of our ideas and images and beliefs, all these things are illusions that we take as being real because my identity is derived from them. So the very thing that I don't want -- which is the negation of all that is valuable to myself -- turns out to be the only thing valuable there is. I just have to be willing to go through that process and see it as being inescapable. It is inescapable that I'm dominated by my own desires. If I see that, what happens when a desire comes up? Do I give myself to it lock, stock, and barrel? Or do I start to realize, you know what... what was that Key Lesson... "handle carefully because in every desire is hidden a fire." That was the Key Lesson.
