loud sir puts it in this way the great Dow flows everywhere both to the left 00:00:12

and to the right it loves and nourishes 00:00:18

all things but does not lord it over 00:00:19

them and when merits are accomplished it 00:00:22

lays no claim to them the more therefore 00:00:28

you relinquish power trust others the 00:00:36

more powerful you become but in such a 00:00:41

way that instead of having to lie awake 00:00:45

nights controlling everything you do it 00:00:49

beautifully by trusting the job to 00:00:51

everyone else they carry it on for you 00:00:55

this seems a sort of paradox to say this 00:01:02

but the principle of unity of coming to 00:01:08

a sense of of oneness with the whole of 00:01:12

the rest of the universe is not to try 00:01:14

to obtain power over the rest of the 00:01:17

universe that will only disturb it and 00:01:21

antagonize it and make it seem less one 00:01:23

with you than ever the way to become one 00:01:26

with the universe is to trust it as 00:01:32

another as you would another and say 00:01:38

let's see what you're gonna do but in 00:01:43

doing that you see in saying that to 00:01:45

everything else that you have been 00:01:48

taught to think is not you you are also 00:01:50

saying it to yourself because finally as 00:01:58

I pointed out you do not know where your 00:02:00

decisions come from they pop up like 00:02:05

hiccups and when you make a decision 00:02:10

people have a great deal of anxiety 00:02:12

about making decisions so when we decide 00:02:18

we're always worrying did I think that's 00:02:22

over long enough did I take enough data 00:02:25

into consideration and if you think it 00:02:29

through you'll find you never could take 00:02:31

enough data into consideration the data 00:02:34

for a decision in any given situation is 00:02:36

infinite so what you do is you go 00:02:40

through the motions of thinking out what 00:02:43

you will do about this and then when the 00:02:47

time comes to act you make a snap 00:02:48

judgment I mean I'm speaking a little 00:02:55

extremely making some fun of it and so 00:02:59

on because after all we do occasionally 00:03:02

get the big outlines of things and make 00:03:04

a right decision on rational grounds but 00:03:08

we fortunately forget the variables that 00:03:12

could have interfered with this coming 00:03:15

out right 00:03:17

it's amazing how often it works but 00:03:23

warriors are people who think of all the 00:03:28

variables beyond their control and what 00:03:30

might happen so then when you make a 00:03:36

decision and it works out alright I 00:03:41

[Music] 00:03:43

think very little of it has much to do 00:03:46

with your conscious intent and control 00:03:46

the more you let go of it and trust it as if it were quite other 00:04:00

than you the more you realize the 00:04:11

inseparable identity of self and other 00:04:15

[Music] 00:04:17

if you ever saw for example the film 00:04:20

kontiki this man figured out a few 00:04:25

things as to how to make a balsa wood 00:04:27

raft to sail from South America to the 00:04:30

Pacific Islands but once she had set 00:04:32

this in motion he discovered that all 00:04:35

sorts of unexpected factors cooperated 00:04:37

with him that when the wood got wet it 00:04:42

expanded so that the ties bit into it 00:04:47

and held it completely secure he'd never 00:04:50

expected that and he found that as he 00:04:54

sailed along a flying fish would simply 00:04:56

a light flat on the deck every morning 00:04:59

for breakfast there are all kinds of 00:05:03

natural factors it was just he had 00:05:05

touched the key where he was flowing 00:05:07

with the course of nature and everything 00:05:09

cooperated because he attached the key 00:05:11

he'd made the act of faith 00:05:11
