Please excuse the poor quality of this video from 1984. These are the only recordings that Al ever made. In this video Al gives an introduction to Live Now and the freedom to succeed. Al also talks about separating from the maze of thought that keeps us in our dream state. You first experience the wealth within you and then you will see that wealth expressed on the outside. Now there is nothing to impede your success.
@chicanul Yes, the thinking will do Live Now. That is all it know how to do. We are retraining it to follow us in OUR lives now. We are REVERSING the life long process of building up the inner "personality" of thought that everyone thinks is THEM. Day by day, we are de-constructing the thought patterns that make up the "personality" so that the real PERSON is able to be there more and more and life can become the blessing it really is.

The ego loves to see how it can stick it's neck in and comment on what we are doing. It is always offering unwanted judgements. For example, asking oneself "What do I need to do now?", the "ego" tries to invade and judge that process of asking and doing "What do I need to do now?".....rather than just letting the person freely ask him/herself that and then do what the intuition answers.....

@chicanul The ego is sticky. It sticks up itself so it can't get anywhere. It has been sticking up itself for eons. It clings to being stuck so it can continue to exist and stay in control. This is why the inner state of humans never seems to improve no matter what is improving on the outside. The truth is the inner knowing will meet us half way and will carry us the other half as we do what we need to do.

It's true, the real person is just waiting to come out. It's just that the "ego" is so so sticky. It's been in place for so long and has so many repetitive patterns that it holds on for dear life before letting go. We have to trust that the inner knowing will meet us halfway if we go the other half.

@chicanul The ego only wants to do what IT wants to do. Initially, it has no interest in quiet and peace. It doesn't want to sit still for a moment. Eventually, IT will come to love the quiet joy that is YOUR feeling. It will want to own it and repeat it and will try everything it knows to regain the feeling. Then, you can see IT trying to live YOU at this point and YOU can correct ITS behavior by talking to it out loud and telling IT what IT is up to again - until IT finally follows YOU.

It's amazing how the ego cannot understand why there is value in doing just one thing at a time. It has to push and push and pull and cannot experience a quiet joy. I t has to live like in chaos, convert the person's personal world into a hectic one...
