Mad For God Rather Than Mad At God

Like you guys,

To make real progress we have to be a little bit mad for God.

You have to be willing to really,

Really,

Really want it.

If you're kind of half-hearted or you've got a lot of attachments to other things,

It's not going to happen.

You're not going to make a lot of progress.

Don't be like a puppet trying to be good.

Be a real human being.

You're a divine being in human form.

You are entitled to be here.

A lot of times you'll do,

You know,

I've suggested Carlos Castaneda and everything,

And sometimes people will say to me,

Okay,

Yeah,

It was good,

I read those books,

It's great.

Or I wrote out my life,

You know,

What I suggested you do,

Write out your whole life,

And it's like,

You know,

It's not done then.

I mean,

You might have to do it 30 times.

You might have to read spiritual books 35 times.

It's sort of never-ending.

It's not a task that's done.

It's a way of life to just want to shine a light in this world,

To warm it up,

To feel the divine in yourself and then express it.

Yeah,

I feel this gets lost.

It's lost because underneath there's a lot of fear about moving into truth.

The thing is,

You can move through this fear.

Oh,

You're scared.

Oh,

Well,

I've been terrified in my time.

And ask for help.

And I'll tell you,

You will get a flicker of light coming in.

You will get a window of your mind opening.

But you see,

The only thing that's going to work is your experience of the journey.

So,

As you walk it,

You get the experience of how it works.

You could sit and listen to me till the cows come home.

And if you're not walking it,

You won't make progress.

You learn by doing.

You see what works.

It's this decoding of your own sweet selves.
