you that have um um that have really surprised me and I've always lived by the principal of tilopa the 10th Century Sufi master who said have a mind that is open to everything and attached nowhere attached to nothing and my wife and I always had this um attitude in in bringing up our children that um keep an open mind and anything that um you immediately reject get your ego out of that and just open yourself to the words of Jesus in the New Testament when he said with God all things are possible and I always
ask my audience uh what does that leave out what does all things are possible leave out and obviously the answer is nothing in the book that I wrote um for the film the shift it is also called the shift um it has four chapters from ambition to meaning moving our lives away from our egos and into a place of of meaning what Serena was up here speaking about it it's a sense of feeling that you're making a difference in the world and towards the end of that book I quoted from u a man named Joel
Goldsmith who wrote the infinite way and parenthesis in eternity and we actually had friends on Maui a friend on Maui named Alexandra who's in her '90s and in her late 80s she would go out kayaking every day and she actually dated Joel Goldsmith back in the 1950s when he lived on Hawaii he's been a very much of a hero to me and then from his book parenthesis in eternity which is what your life is a parenthesis in eternity he said these words he said then there are those who reach a stage in which they realize
the futility of this constant striving in and struggling for the things that perish things which after they are obtained prove to be shadows it is at this stage that some persons turn from the seeking for things in the outer realm to a seeking for them from God and that has been probably the major shift in my life taking the focus in my life off of um the things the accomplishments the Acquisitions reputation ownership which we begin to identify ourselves as and to begin to recognize that uh Pierre the great French priest who was excommunicated from
the Catholic church for his outrageous ideas in 1918 um he said you're not here as a human being having a spiritual experience that it's the other way around you've all heard it that we are all infinite Spiritual Beings having a temporary Human Experience and beginning to live our life from this spiritual place it's place of spirit where we recognize and identify ourselves not on the basis of what the ego says which is on the basis of what we have and what we accomplish what we own and what others think of us not based on our
belief in our separation from each other and most egregiously not based upon our belief and our separation from God a shift if you will to an awareness of uh of our own Divinity and from that place what is possible for all of us so I'm going to recite a poem here from a um a great poet his name was Samuel Taylor coldridge he um he wrote a poem called the rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and he also wrote one that wasn't that well known I put it in a book of mine years ago called real
magic I started it with this and I'd like you to as I give these words I I'd like you to think about what the poet is asking and whether or not you believe in your heart or know in your heart that what I'm what the poet is saying is possible for you or whether you think it's just the fancy kind of uh fanciful um meanderings and dreamings of a uh of an idealist ask yourself does this possible he said what if you slept and what if in your sleep you dreamed and what if in your
dream you went to heaven and there picked a strange and wonderful flower and what if when you awoke you held that flower in your hand ah what then he concludes his poem ah what then I wonder if you think such a thing is um is really a possibility that you can go into a state in which there is no form no Beginnings no ends No Boundaries No Limits and bring from that invisible Place something that has substance that has boundaries that has form that you can hold that you can smell and then ask yourself if
that's a possibility I wonder how many of you think yes and how many of you think no I I'm not going to ask but um the fact is that um this room has it looks like 2500 or so people in the room tonight um every single one of you are an example of what that poet just described every single one of you came from a formless place and are now form all of you every flower that you look at began in a seed and the seed began in something that is invisible
