 no people thoughts thing I think I'm having them like right now I don't know like I don't know what what do you do when you think you're having people thoughts you know and how do I not yeah I think it's it's you know the ego people the world so the only way out of the world or you might say the only in way inward is you've got to have a lot of fun like so much fun that you you start to forget about the people thoughts you know and we've all had limpses of that you know I mean even when we were kids you know when we were like playing in the clay or you know we're out in the creek or route you remember when maybe like summertime when you were a kid when you started to play and you just got into the plague and you were having so much fun playing and playing playing what happened you lost track of time you've lost track of space and you definitely lost track of the people thoughts it was almost like like like an intruding thought when when mother said lunch time and you like it's almost like it jars you know when you're out there in the middle of the clay just in the goo all over your hands and you're making a little thing out there you know you're just having fun in the clay or doing something in the stream and then launch time it's like a striking it's a people thought you know and and you notice another thing too is the more that you get into this joy and this happiness that your appetites leave you you know when we were playing when we were kids why isn't that we could just go for so many hours without thinking of eating we were like little mystics you know we're we're just into playing we haven't had so much fun playing we can't be thinking about being a better and jelly sandwich or something like that you know it's just it fades from awareness so so perception is selective and the more you get into this vibe of extending this true love the true spirit that you are your mind becomes riveted it's almost like you come into like a vertical alignment of this happiness and this joy spirituality ultimately is fun yeah you could retranslate the whole thing to fun if you're really having fun I mean truly intrinsic fun not fun based on something of the world but really true fun then that will like grow in strength in your mind and it will it will edge out all of the people thoughts just like ego is edging God out this is going to be like fun edging the people thoughts out because they really can't they have no basis you know God didn't create them there's the spirit didn't say I wish that you would live a life of people and the people worlds and people galaxies and and have all kinds of complex relationships and complex interactions and I thus say that there shall be marriage and divorce I say that there shall be union and separation I say that there will be oneness and multiplicity you know that's ridiculous you know what does oneness have to do with multiplicity it just it doesn't go together but the only way that you come into that experience is through the fun you know I mean I I feel like I look at my life as it unfolded over the years I just kept giving more fun and more fun and even more fun and then even more fun and then even more fun and then as you get into the joy of that then you know you your mind is not focused on people you know even with doing this festival it was a fun idea really strawberry fields festival nothing is real nothing to get hungry strawberry feels forever it's a fun idea it's a great song it's a fun idea and you know really we weren't too concerned about how many people came how would we finance it you know we had no criteria for success which is if you're gonna stay in the fun you really can't have any worldly criteria for anything for success you know wasn't a success well if I have fun it's a success you know that's the way you have to live your life and the more you get into this vibe of giving the joy away you do notice that everything is taken care of but it just seems to happen in unconventional ways I mean I can't I have to really strain to even think of the last time that that there was like a focus on on people or numbers or money or those kind of things but with the egos world it's like the egos saying you got to put all of this energy on balance sheets and debits and credits and making sure that everything balances out but we've already discussed that trust would settle every problem now if I am just truly willing to trust the spirit and say I trust that everything will be taken care of then literally it works we have people that are that come here that are part of our community and they bring different things some people bring experience they bring like a sense of the knowledge of how to do certain things some people have financial resources and some don't some people have debts some people don't have debts they have credits you could say that's in credits but the spirit is orchestrating everything so that we are lifted up into a unified experience of the world unified perception is what it's all about it doesn't really matter whether you seem to have money or you don't have money or you have resources or skills and abilities or you don't you could have you could be a total zero a total zilch a total nada a total nothing in the world in the world's eyes we could say in the perceptions and judgments but if you come with the spirit and the willingness of trust then you literally have everything the rest is totally immaterial you know if you look at the the flowers and the trees and the plants you know they wouldn't be judged as as a good a good catch or of something good by the world you know they're just just flowers they're just plants they're just trees and the idea of being stationary it's like you look at some of these shrubs and everything they're really not that mobile I think in this world some mobile is overrated you know trees are very not very mobile at all just sit in the same place year after year decade after decade how you doing sitting here still sitting here where you been nowhere what you've been up to lately nothing I do a little swaying everyone someone come on baby let's do the twist no they're just not going anywhere but that's more of a symbol of contentment and peace of mind is contentment you won't find anything in this world that's greater than contentment when you have an experience of contentment let me tell you you have it all because there's not going to be any temptation for you to have something more contentment doesn't even know what more means there's a part in the course in the beyond all idle section where Jesus says what he starts off the beginning of the paragraph what is an idol do you think you know an idol is for more of something it does not matter more of what I think those are some of the most profound lines that were ever uttered I guess that's do utter we utter words and of course other words it's the most profound lines ever uttered because it's saying that if you if you are content with what is then you know who you are and if you believe that you need more of something more of anything to be who you already are then that's the wheel of time that's what time is all about it's like chasing a dream that that goes nowhere and leads to nothing so if you were a cat chasing your tail the best thing to do would be to stop and purr just purr and purr and purr purring is contentment when cats are purring there what does it mean they're content and that's what we want to cultivate so that's the quick answer I would say have the fun if you give yourself fully over to that give yourself permission to really go for the fun then that's that's going to be the end of the people thoughts we're always just relating to ourself in mind so whenever we think of people as real then we're thinking of ourself as a person we reinforce that construct in mind and Jesus says in the course you have great difficulty of thinking of yourself as an idea an idea and a person are two different things Christ is an idea in the mind of God Christ is neither male nor female Christ doesn't live in any particular time frame Christ doesn't have a form or take a form it's just a perfect pure idea and you might say the true spirituality is starting to accept yourself as an idea instead of a person so that's where this fun comes in you know of course it's going to have to be fun why would you leave something behind unless you found something greater something more spectacular than the human condition and oh there is something more spectacular than the human condition
