Life is a banquet and the tragedy is that most people are starving to death.
It's a nice story of Some people on a rock off the course of Brazil who were perishing from thirst and they had no idea That the water they were floating on was fresh water See the river was coming out into the sea with such force that it went on for a couple of miles They had fresh water right there.
They had no idea of it.
So it's like We're surrounded with joy with happiness with love and Most people have no idea Whatsoever of this Reason the brainwashed reason they're hypnotized they're asleep imagine a stage magician who hypnotizes someone and This person is seeing what isn't there and not seeing what is there.
That's what it's all about repent and accept the good news Repent wake up not weep for your sins What are you going to do weeping for your sins which you committed in the first place because you were asleep Anyway,
Are you going to cry because of what you did in your hypnotized state?
Why do you want to identify with that guy wake up wake up?
Repent put on a new mind Take on a new way of looking at things for the kingdom is here It's the rare Christian who takes that seriously now I said to you the first thing you need to wake up is To face the fact that you don't like being woken up You'd much rather have all of these things which you were hypnotized into believing are so precious to you So important to you so important for your life and your survival second understand understand That maybe you've got the wrong ideas and it is these ideas that are Influencing your life and making it the mess that it is and keeping you asleep ideas about love ideas about freedom Ideas about happiness etc.
And it isn't easy to listen to someone who would challenge Those ideas of yours that have come to be so precious to you You know They've made some interesting studies in brainwashing and they prove your brainwash when you take on when you introject an idea that isn't yours Somebody else's idea and the funny thing is that you'll be ready to die for it the first test That you've been brainwashed that you've got introjected convictions and beliefs is That the moment they're attacked you feel stung you react Emotionally,
That's a pretty good sign not infallible But a pretty good sign that we're dealing with brainwashing and you're even ready to die For an idea that never was yours the terrorists or the same so-called takes on an idea Swallows it whole and is ready to die for it.
Not easy to listen Especially when you get emotional about an idea and even when you don't get emotional about it Not easy to listen because don't forget you're listening from your programming from your conditioning from your hypnotic state and You're frequently interpreting everything that's being said in terms of your hypnotic state of your conditioning of your programming We all have our positions,
Don't we and we listen from those positions the most difficult thing in the world to listen to See we don't want to see you don't want to look because if you look you may change We don't want to look if you look you lose control of this life That you're so precariously holding together.
And so in order to wake up in order to awake The one thing you need the most is not Energy or strength or even great intelligence The one thing you need the most of all is the readiness to learn Something new the chances that you will wake up are in direct Proportion the amount of truth you can take without running away
