of cloth or anything like that depends 00:01:30
of cloth or anything like that depends on a mutual support of the warp and woof 00:01:30
on a mutual support of the warp and woof 00:01:33
on a mutual support of the warp and woof and this miraculous thing occurs that 00:01:33
and this miraculous thing occurs that 00:01:37
and this miraculous thing occurs that when the things support each other being 00:01:37
when the things support each other being 00:01:39
when the things support each other being comes into being 00:01:39
comes into being 00:01:40
comes into being both comes into being and so in exactly 00:01:40
both comes into being and so in exactly 00:01:43
both comes into being and so in exactly the same way our world is a 00:01:43
the same way our world is a 00:01:47
the same way our world is a manifestation of relativity and this 00:01:47
manifestation of relativity and this 00:01:51

show 00:05:50
show now some people according to this view 00:05:50
now some people according to this view 00:05:51
now some people according to this view get mixed up they so repressed that what 00:05:51
get mixed up they so repressed that what 00:05:56
get mixed up they so repressed that what they really want to do is to even to 00:05:56
they really want to do is to even to 00:05:58
they really want to do is to even to screw that they get involved in how 00:05:58
screw that they get involved in how 00:06:01
screw that they get involved in how higher things that are the masks for 00:06:01
higher things that are the masks for 00:06:03
higher things that are the masks for these activities and think that that's 00:06:03
these activities and think that that's 00:06:06
these activities and think that that's the real purpose of life and then they 00:06:06
the real purpose of life and then they 00:06:09
the real purpose of life and then they become what's called a neurotic and 00:06:09
because they get involved in being pure 00:06:14
because they get involved in being pure 00:06:18
because they get involved in being pure camouflage so that's what's called 00:06:18
camouflage so that's what's called 00:06:21
camouflage so that's what's called escaping from the facts not looking at 00:06:21
escaping from the facts not looking at 00:06:24
escaping from the facts not looking at life not looking at reality correctly 00:06:24
life not looking at reality correctly 00:06:28

so this is a view of the world as a system of mutual exploitation and of 00:10:25
system of mutual exploitation and of 00:10:28
system of mutual exploitation and of maximal selfishness now it's a very 00:10:28
maximal selfishness now it's a very 00:10:34
maximal selfishness now it's a very profitable view to explore everybody 00:10:34
profitable view to explore everybody 00:10:38
profitable view to explore everybody should do in their lifetime sometime two 00:10:38
should do in their lifetime sometime two 00:10:41
should do in their lifetime sometime two things one is to consider death to 00:10:41
things one is to consider death to 00:10:48
things one is to consider death to observe skulls and skeletons and to 00:10:48
observe skulls and skeletons and to 00:10:51
observe skulls and skeletons and to wonder what it will be like to go to 00:10:51
wonder what it will be like to go to 00:10:52
wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up 00:10:52
sleep and never wake up 00:10:53
sleep and never wake up never that is the most is a very gloomy 00:10:53
never that is the most is a very gloomy 00:11:00
never that is the most is a very gloomy thing for contemplation but it's like 00:11:00
thing for contemplation but it's like 00:11:03
thing for contemplation but it's like manure just as manure fertilizes the 00:11:03
manure just as manure fertilizes the 00:11:06
manure just as manure fertilizes the plants and so on so the contemplation of 00:11:06
plants and so on so the contemplation of 00:11:09
plants and so on so the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death is 00:11:09
death and the acceptance of death is 00:11:11
death and the acceptance of death is very highly generative of creative life 00:11:11
very highly generative of creative life 00:11:15
very highly generative of creative life you'll get wonderful things out of that 00:11:15
you'll get wonderful things out of that 00:11:17
you'll get wonderful things out of that and the other thing to contemplate is to 00:11:17
and the other thing to contemplate is to 00:11:21
and the other thing to contemplate is to follow the possibility of the idea of if 00:11:21
follow the possibility of the idea of if 00:11:23
follow the possibility of the idea of if you are totally selfish that you don't 00:11:23

and that is a real common act because if you equate health with genuine love and 00:12:17
you equate health with genuine love and 00:12:20
you equate health with genuine love and perfect unselfishness then in that sense 00:12:20
perfect unselfishness then in that sense 00:12:23
perfect unselfishness then in that sense there is no health in us when we look at 00:12:23
there is no health in us when we look at 00:12:25
there is no health in us when we look at ourselves from this point of view now 00:12:25

when you go 00:12:30
when you go deeply into the nature of selfishness 00:12:30
deeply into the nature of selfishness 00:12:31
deeply into the nature of selfishness and what do you discover you say I love 00:12:31
and what do you discover you say I love 00:12:35
and what do you discover you say I love myself I seek my own advantage now what 00:12:35

come to discover that the self you love 00:15:18
come to discover that the self you love if you really go into it is the universe 00:15:18
you don't like all of it you are 00:15:24
you don't like all of it you are 00:15:27
you don't like all of it you are selective about it as we saw in the 00:15:27
selective about it as we saw in the 00:15:29
selective about it as we saw in the beginning perception is selection but on 00:15:29
beginning perception is selection but on 00:15:34
beginning perception is selection but on the whole you love yourself in terms of 00:15:34
the whole you love yourself in terms of 00:15:41
the whole you love yourself in terms of what is other because it's only in terms 00:15:41

all so then I feel that the group one of 00:15:55
all so then I feel that the group one of the very great things that CG Jung 00:15:55
the very great things that CG Jung 00:15:58
the very great things that CG Jung contributed to mankind's understanding 00:15:58
contributed to mankind's understanding 00:16:00
contributed to mankind's understanding was the concept of the shadow that 00:16:00
everybody has a shadow and that the main 00:16:07

task of the psychotherapists is to do what he called to integrate the evil to 00:16:17
what he called to integrate the evil to 00:16:22
what he called to integrate the evil to as it were put the devil in us in its 00:16:22
as it were put the devil in us in its 00:16:26
as it were put the devil in us in its proper function because you see it's 00:16:26
proper function because you see it's 00:16:29
proper function because you see it's always the devil the unacknowledged one 00:16:29
always the devil the unacknowledged one 00:16:33

the family it's always from that point that which 00:16:41
it's always from that point that which 00:16:46
it's always from that point that which we could call the fly in the ointment 00:16:46
we could call the fly in the ointment 00:16:47
we could call the fly in the ointment you see that 00:16:47
you see that 00:16:52
you see that generation comes in other words in the 00:16:52
generation comes in other words in the 00:16:57
generation comes in other words in the same way as in the drama to have the 00:16:57

play it's necessary to introduce the villain it's necessary to introduce a 00:17:03
villain it's necessary to introduce a 00:17:05
villain it's necessary to introduce a certain element of trouble so in the 00:17:05
certain element of trouble so in the 00:17:10
certain element of trouble so in the whole scheme of life there has to be the 00:17:10
whole scheme of life there has to be the 00:17:14
whole scheme of life there has to be the shadow because without the shadow that 00:17:14
shadow because without the shadow that 00:17:18
shadow because without the shadow that can't be the substance so this is why 00:17:18
can't be the substance so this is why 00:17:23
can't be the substance so this is why there is a very strange association 00:17:23
there is a very strange association 00:17:26
there is a very strange association between crime and all naughty things and 00:17:26
between crime and all naughty things and 00:17:32

always something slightly scary about 00:17:54
always something slightly scary about holy people and other people react to 00:17:54
holy people and other people react to 00:17:58
holy people and other people react to them in very strange ways they can't 00:17:58
