hide-and-seek is the basic game see 00:01:27
hide-and-seek is the basic game see before with when we were children we 00:01:27
before with when we were children we 00:01:30
before with when we were children we were taught 1 2 3 and ABC but we once 00:01:30
were taught 1 2 3 and ABC but we once 00:01:35
were taught 1 2 3 and ABC but we once sat down on our mother's knees and 00:01:35
sat down on our mother's knees and 00:01:37
sat down on our mother's knees and taught the game of black and white 00:01:37
that's the thing that was left out of 00:01:41
that's the thing that was left out of 00:01:43
that's the thing that was left out of all our education the game that I was 00:01:43
all our education the game that I was 00:01:50
all our education the game that I was trying to explain with these wave 00:01:50
trying to explain with these wave 00:01:51
trying to explain with these wave diagrams that life is not a conflict 00:01:51
diagrams that life is not a conflict 00:02:03
diagrams that life is not a conflict between opposites but a polarity the 00:02:03
between opposites but a polarity the 00:02:09
between opposites but a polarity the difference between a conflict and a 00:02:09
difference between a conflict and a 00:02:11
difference between a conflict and a polarity is simply when you say about 00:02:11
polarity is simply when you say about 00:02:15
polarity is simply when you say about opposite things we sometimes use the 00:02:15
opposite things we sometimes use the 00:02:17
opposite things we sometimes use the expression these two things are the 00:02:17
expression these two things are the 00:02:19
expression these two things are the poles apart you say for example with 00:02:19
poles apart you say for example with 00:02:23
poles apart you say for example with someone with whom you totally disagree 00:02:23
someone with whom you totally disagree 00:02:26
someone with whom you totally disagree I am the poles apart from this person 00:02:26
I am the poles apart from this person 00:02:30
I am the poles apart from this person but you're very saying that gives the 00:02:30
but you're very saying that gives the 00:02:34
but you're very saying that gives the show away poles poles are the opposite 00:02:34
show away poles poles are the opposite 00:02:38
show away poles poles are the opposite ends of one magnet and if you take a 00:02:38
ends of one magnet and if you take a 00:02:43
ends of one magnet and if you take a magnet let's say you've got a magnetized 00:02:43
magnet let's say you've got a magnetized 00:02:46
magnet let's say you've got a magnetized bar is the North Pole in the South Pole 00:02:46
bar is the North Pole in the South Pole 00:02:49
bar is the North Pole in the South Pole right chopped off the South Pole move it 00:02:49
right chopped off the South Pole move it 00:02:52
right chopped off the South Pole move it away the piece you've got left creates a 00:02:52
away the piece you've got left creates a 00:02:55
away the piece you've got left creates a new South Pole you never get rid of the 00:02:55
new South Pole you never get rid of the 00:02:59
new South Pole you never get rid of the South Pole so the point about a magnet 00:02:59
South Pole so the point about a magnet 00:03:03
South Pole so the point about a magnet is that things maybe the poles apart but 00:03:03
is that things maybe the poles apart but 00:03:05
is that things maybe the poles apart but they go together and you can't have the 00:03:05
they go together and you can't have the 00:03:09
they go together and you can't have the one without the other we are imagining a 00:03:09
one without the other we are imagining a 00:03:12
one without the other we are imagining a diagram of the universe in which the 00:03:12
diagram of the universe in which the 00:03:20
diagram of the universe in which the idea of polarity is the opposite ends of 00:03:20
idea of polarity is the opposite ends of 00:03:25
idea of polarity is the opposite ends of a diameter north and south you see 00:03:25
a diameter north and south you see 00:03:29
a diameter north and south you see that's the basic idea of polarity but 00:03:29
that's the basic idea of polarity but 00:03:31
that's the basic idea of polarity but what we are trying to imagine is the 00:03:31
what we are trying to imagine is the 00:03:34
what we are trying to imagine is the encounter of forces that come from 00:03:34
encounter of forces that come from 00:03:40
encounter of forces that come from absolutely opposed realms they have 00:03:40
absolutely opposed realms they have 00:03:43
absolutely opposed realms they have nothing in common when we say of two 00:03:43
nothing in common when we say of two 00:03:47
nothing in common when we say of two personality types that they're the poles 00:03:47
personality types that they're the poles 00:03:49
personality types that they're the poles apart we are trying to think 00:03:49
apart we are trying to think 00:03:53
apart we are trying to think eccentrically instead of concent 00:03:53
eccentrically instead of concent 00:03:56
eccentrically instead of concent concentric tree and so in this way we 00:03:56
concentric tree and so in this way we 00:04:02
concentric tree and so in this way we haven't realized that life and death 00:04:02
haven't realized that life and death 00:04:04
haven't realized that life and death black and white good and evil being and 00:04:04
black and white good and evil being and 00:04:09
black and white good and evil being and non-being 00:04:09
come from the same center they imply 00:04:11
come from the same center they imply 00:04:16
come from the same center they imply each other so that you wouldn't know the 00:04:16
each other so that you wouldn't know the 00:04:19
each other so that you wouldn't know the one without the other 00:04:19
now I'm not saying that that's bad 00:04:22
now I'm not saying that that's bad 00:04:25
now I'm not saying that that's bad that's fun you are playing the game that 00:04:25
that's fun you are playing the game that 00:04:31
that's fun you are playing the game that you don't know that black and white 00:04:31
you don't know that black and white 00:04:35
you don't know that black and white imply each other and therefore you think 00:04:35
imply each other and therefore you think 00:04:39
imply each other and therefore you think that possibly black might win that the 00:04:39
that possibly black might win that the 00:04:43
that possibly black might win that the light might go out that the sound might 00:04:43
light might go out that the sound might 00:04:47
light might go out that the sound might never be heard again that there could be 00:04:47
never be heard again that there could be 00:04:51
never be heard again that there could be a possibility of a universe of pure 00:04:51
a possibility of a universe of pure 00:04:54
a possibility of a universe of pure tragedy of endless endless darkness and 00:04:54
tragedy of endless endless darkness and 00:04:59
tragedy of endless endless darkness and wouldn't that be awful well you wouldn't 00:04:59
wouldn't that be awful well you wouldn't 00:05:02
wouldn't that be awful well you wouldn't know it was awful if that's what 00:05:02
know it was awful if that's what 00:05:04
know it was awful if that's what happened the point that we all forget is 00:05:04
happened the point that we all forget is 00:05:09
happened the point that we all forget is that the black and the white go together 00:05:09
that the black and the white go together 00:05:14
that the black and the white go together and there isn't the one without the 00:05:14
and there isn't the one without the 00:05:16
and there isn't the one without the other at the same time you see we forget 00:05:16
other at the same time you see we forget 00:05:19
other at the same time you see we forget in the same way as we forget that these 00:05:19
in the same way as we forget that these 00:05:22
in the same way as we forget that these two go together the other thing that we 00:05:22
two go together the other thing that we 00:05:24
two go together the other thing that we forget is that self and other go 00:05:24
forget is that self and other go 00:05:30
forget is that self and other go together in just the same way as the two 00:05:30
together in just the same way as the two 00:05:35
together in just the same way as the two poles of the magnet you say I myself I'm 00:05:35
poles of the magnet you say I myself I'm 00:05:38
poles of the magnet you say I myself I'm me I'm this individual I'm this 00:05:38
me I'm this individual I'm this 00:05:40
me I'm this individual I'm this particular unique instance what his 00:05:40
particular unique instance what his 00:05:42
particular unique instance what his other is everything else all of you all 00:05:42
other is everything else all of you all 00:05:46
other is everything else all of you all of the stars all of the galaxies way way 00:05:46
of the stars all of the galaxies way way 00:05:48
of the stars all of the galaxies way way out in the infinite space that's other 00:05:48
out in the infinite space that's other 00:05:51
out in the infinite space that's other but in the same way as black implies 00:05:51
but in the same way as black implies 00:05:54
but in the same way as black implies white self implies other and you don't 00:05:54
white self implies other and you don't 00:05:58
white self implies other and you don't exist without all that so that where you 00:05:58
exist without all that so that where you 00:06:03
exist without all that so that where you get this these polarities you get this 00:06:03
get this these polarities you get this 00:06:06
get this these polarities you get this sort of difference that what we call 00:06:06
sort of difference that what we call 00:06:08
sort of difference that what we call explicitly or exoteric Lee they're 00:06:08
explicitly or exoteric Lee they're 00:06:11
explicitly or exoteric Lee they're different but implicitly and 00:06:11
different but implicitly and 00:06:14
different but implicitly and esoterically they're one since you can't 00:06:14
esoterically they're one since you can't 00:06:18
esoterically they're one since you can't have the one without the other that 00:06:18
have the one without the other that 00:06:20
have the one without the other that shows there is this kind of inner 00:06:20

it's like you say well there are all 00:06:32
it's like you say well there are all sorts of things we understand among each 00:06:32

and your two hands and you play different rhythms with each member it's 00:09:01
different rhythms with each member it's 00:09:05
different rhythms with each member it's kind of tricky but actually we are all 00:09:05
kind of tricky but actually we are all 00:09:09
kind of tricky but actually we are all masters of this because how do you grow 00:09:09
masters of this because how do you grow 00:09:12
masters of this because how do you grow each hair without having to think about 00:09:12
each hair without having to think about 00:09:13
each hair without having to think about it each nerve how do you beat your heart 00:09:13
it each nerve how do you beat your heart 00:09:19
it each nerve how do you beat your heart and digest with your stomach at the same 00:09:19
and digest with your stomach at the same 00:09:21
and digest with your stomach at the same time you don't have to think about it in 00:09:21
time you don't have to think about it in 00:09:25
time you don't have to think about it in your very body you are omnipotent in the 00:09:25
your very body you are omnipotent in the 00:09:28
your very body you are omnipotent in the true sense of omnipotence which is that 00:09:28
true sense of omnipotence which is that 00:09:31
true sense of omnipotence which is that you are able to be omnipotent you are 00:09:31
you are able to be omnipotent you are 00:09:33
you are able to be omnipotent you are able to do all these things without 00:09:33
able to do all these things without 00:09:35
able to do all these things without having to think about it so when in 00:09:35
having to think about it so when in 00:09:38
having to think about it so when in India when I when I was a child I used 00:09:38
India when I when I was a child I used 00:09:40
India when I when I was a child I used to ask my mother of course all sorts of 00:09:40

to ask my mother of course all sorts of ridiculous questions that every child 00:09:42
ridiculous questions that every child 00:09:44
ridiculous questions that every child asked and when she got bored with my 00:09:44
asked and when she got bored with my 00:09:46
asked and when she got bored with my question she'd say darling there are 00:09:46
question she'd say darling there are 00:09:48
question she'd say darling there are some things we're just not meant to know 00:09:48
some things we're just not meant to know 00:09:50
some things we're just not meant to know well I said well we ever know she said 00:09:50
well I said well we ever know she said 00:09:53
well I said well we ever know she said yes of course when we die and go to 00:09:53
yes of course when we die and go to 00:09:54
yes of course when we die and go to heaven every God will make everything 00:09:54
heaven every God will make everything 00:09:56
heaven every God will make everything plain so I used to imagine on wet 00:09:56
plain so I used to imagine on wet 00:09:58
plain so I used to imagine on wet afternoons in heaven we'd all sit around 00:09:58
afternoons in heaven we'd all sit around 00:10:00
afternoons in heaven we'd all sit around the throne of grace and say to God well 00:10:00

coz words are too clumsy and yet you managed this expertly for as long as 00:11:51
managed this expertly for as long as 00:11:54
managed this expertly for as long as you're able to do it but you see we are 00:11:54
you're able to do it but you see we are 00:11:58
you're able to do it but you see we are playing a game that then the game runs 00:11:58
playing a game that then the game runs 00:12:02
playing a game that then the game runs like this the only thing you really know 00:12:02
like this the only thing you really know 00:12:06
like this the only thing you really know is what you can put into words let's 00:12:06
is what you can put into words let's 00:12:10
is what you can put into words let's suppose I love some girl rapturously and 00:12:10

you so if I'm an artist and I can put this 00:12:30
so if I'm an artist and I can put this 00:12:32
so if I'm an artist and I can put this into words and convince everybody that 00:12:32
into words and convince everybody that 00:12:34
into words and convince everybody that I've written the most ecstatic love 00:12:34
I've written the most ecstatic love 00:12:36

and Abelard to be in love so but but the 00:13:02
and Abelard to be in love so but but the whole game that our culture is playing 00:13:02
whole game that our culture is playing 00:13:05
whole game that our culture is playing is that nothing really happens unless 00:13:05
is that nothing really happens unless 00:13:07
is that nothing really happens unless it's in the newspaper 00:13:07
it's in the newspaper 00:13:10
it's in the newspaper so we're when we are at a party and 00:13:10
so we're when we are at a party and 00:13:13
so we're when we are at a party and there's a great party somebody said too 00:13:13
there's a great party somebody said too 00:13:15
there's a great party somebody said too bad we didn't bring a camera it's too 00:13:15
bad we didn't bring a camera it's too 00:13:17
bad we didn't bring a camera it's too bad there wasn't the tape recorder and 00:13:17
bad there wasn't the tape recorder and 00:13:19
bad there wasn't the tape recorder and so our children begin to feel that they 00:13:19
so our children begin to feel that they 00:13:22
so our children begin to feel that they don't exist authentically unless they 00:13:22
don't exist authentically unless they 00:13:24
don't exist authentically unless they get their names in the papers and the 00:13:24
get their names in the papers and the 00:13:26
get their names in the papers and the fastest way of getting your name in the 00:13:26
fastest way of getting your name in the 00:13:27
fastest way of getting your name in the papers is to commit a crime and then 00:13:27
papers is to commit a crime and then 00:13:30
papers is to commit a crime and then you'll be photographed then you'll 00:13:30
you'll be photographed then you'll 00:13:32
you'll be photographed then you'll appear in court and everybody will 00:13:32
appear in court and everybody will 00:13:33
appear in court and everybody will notice you and you are there excuse me 00:13:33
notice you and you are there excuse me 00:13:43
notice you and you are there excuse me so you're not there unless you're 00:13:43
so you're not there unless you're 00:13:45
so you're not there unless you're recorded it really happened if it was 00:13:45
recorded it really happened if it was 00:13:50
recorded it really happened if it was recorded in other words if you shout and 00:13:50
recorded in other words if you shout and 00:13:52
recorded in other words if you shout and the distance doesn't come back and echo 00:13:52
the distance doesn't come back and echo 00:13:54
the distance doesn't come back and echo they didn't happen well that's a real 00:13:54
they didn't happen well that's a real 00:13:57
they didn't happen well that's a real hang-up it's true the fun with echoes we 00:13:57
hang-up it's true the fun with echoes we 00:14:01
hang-up it's true the fun with echoes we all like singing in the bathtub because 00:14:01
all like singing in the bathtub because 00:14:04
all like singing in the bathtub because there's more resonance there and when we 00:14:04
there's more resonance there and when we 00:14:07
there's more resonance there and when we play a musical instrument like a violin 00:14:07
play a musical instrument like a violin 00:14:09
play a musical instrument like a violin or a cello it has a sounding box because 00:14:09
or a cello it has a sounding box because 00:14:12
or a cello it has a sounding box because that gives resonance to the sound and in 00:14:12
that gives resonance to the sound and in 00:14:15
that gives resonance to the sound and in the same way the cortex of the human 00:14:15
the same way the cortex of the human 00:14:17
the same way the cortex of the human brain enables us when we are happy to 00:14:17
brain enables us when we are happy to 00:14:19
brain enables us when we are happy to know that we are happy and that gives a 00:14:19
know that we are happy and that gives a 00:14:21
know that we are happy and that gives a certain resonance to it if you are happy 00:14:21
certain resonance to it if you are happy 00:14:23
certain resonance to it if you are happy and you don't know you're happy there's 00:14:23
and you don't know you're happy there's 00:14:25
and you don't know you're happy there's nobody home 00:14:25
but this is the whole problem for us 00:14:29
several thousand years ago human beings 00:14:34
several thousand years ago human beings 00:14:38
several thousand years ago human beings evolved the system of self-consciousness 00:14:38
evolved the system of self-consciousness 00:14:41
evolved the system of self-consciousness and they knew they they knew it was a 00:14:41
and they knew they they knew it was a 00:14:48
and they knew they they knew it was a young man who said though it seems that 00:14:48
young man who said though it seems that 00:14:50
young man who said though it seems that I know that I know what I would like to 00:14:50
I know that I know what I would like to 00:14:52
I know that I know what I would like to see is the eye that knows me when I know 00:14:52

see is the eye that knows me when I know that I know that I know you see and and 00:14:55
that I know that I know you see and and 00:14:59
that I know that I know you see and and this is that the human problem we know 00:14:59
this is that the human problem we know 00:15:03
this is that the human problem we know that we know and so in in this in we we 00:15:03
that we know and so in in this in we we 00:15:09
that we know and so in in this in we we the came a point in our evolution when 00:15:09
the came a point in our evolution when 00:15:13
the came a point in our evolution when we didn't guide life by just trusting 00:15:13
we didn't guide life by just trusting 00:15:16
we didn't guide life by just trusting our instincts let's suppose you could 00:15:16
our instincts let's suppose you could 00:15:19
our instincts let's suppose you could live absolutely spontaneously you don't 00:15:19
live absolutely spontaneously you don't 00:15:23
live absolutely spontaneously you don't make any plans 00:15:23
make any plans 00:15:24
make any plans you just live the way you feel like it 00:15:24
you just live the way you feel like it 00:15:27
you just live the way you feel like it and you would say what a gas that is I 00:15:27
and you would say what a gas that is I 00:15:30
and you would say what a gas that is I just don't have to make any plans or 00:15:30
just don't have to make any plans or 00:15:31
just don't have to make any plans or anything I just live I don't worry I 00:15:31
anything I just live I don't worry I 00:15:33
anything I just live I don't worry I just do what comes naturally well now 00:15:33
just do what comes naturally well now 00:15:40
just do what comes naturally well now wait a minute you might you think you 00:15:40
wait a minute you might you think you 00:15:42
wait a minute you might you think you would be but all the animals live this 00:15:42
would be but all the animals live this 00:15:45
would be but all the animals live this way the flowers grow this way yeah but 00:15:45
way the flowers grow this way yeah but 00:15:51
way the flowers grow this way yeah but you wouldn't because you'd know when to 00:15:51
you wouldn't because you'd know when to 00:15:53
you wouldn't because you'd know when to stop eating because he weren't hungry 00:15:53
stop eating because he weren't hungry 00:15:54
stop eating because he weren't hungry anymore 00:15:54
anymore 00:15:55
anymore as it is nowadays people get obese 00:15:55
as it is nowadays people get obese 00:15:58
as it is nowadays people get obese because they are trying to feed their 00:15:58
because they are trying to feed their 00:16:01
because they are trying to feed their empty hearts with us through their 00:16:01
empty hearts with us through their 00:16:02
empty hearts with us through their stomachs and they eat too much 00:16:02
stomachs and they eat too much 00:16:07
stomachs and they eat too much no no reasonable cat would eat too much 00:16:07
so when when the animals live everybody 00:16:13
so when when the animals live everybody 00:16:17
so when when the animals live everybody envies them because look a cat when it 00:16:17
envies them because look a cat when it 00:16:20
envies them because look a cat when it walks did you ever see a cat making an 00:16:20
