What is and what ought to be / agape

    So here is this stairway to the skies, that everybody is tryin' to get and it's struggle,conflict, and resistance. Now that's all because we made it important to have things like they ought to be and here is the only problem that any of us run in to. Now we get all kinds of emotions when we have these, those equal anger, guilt, fear, insecurity, now those all come along when we are trying to do the impossible. You can call all of them frustration if you want to, anxiety, whatever pretty word you like. Whenever you are trying to do the impossible, say just a simple thing like stand up and sit down at the same time, huh?You can't do that, is that right?You can't do it.  You can't deal with what is and you can't change it into a fantasy without being frustrated, and being in some sort of state of unpleasant emotion that a human being wasn't designed to have, anger guilt fear,insecurity,frustrations,anxiety and so forth you simply can't have. Now anything that's real I can do anything I want to with it. To some degree I can change it. I can paint the house green, I can tear down a wall, I can put in  a wall, I can tear the whole thing down or whatever, but I'm still dealing with what is but I can't deal with what ought to be and what should be. This is where we all start, I know what ought to be, I know what should be, I know what needs to be straightened up, and that of course is an illusion of the first water because we don't know what ought to be. We don't when it should rain, when it couldn't rain, whether it blows a storm or it shouldn't blow a storm, whether somebody should come along and say certain things to me, or whether certain events should happen in my existence, we don't know that. We don't know that other ought to do anything different than what they're doin'. Basically everybody is doing what they feel is right, proper, and justifiable with what light they have, and that's all we can deal with. Now we don't have to be in a state of conflict, struggle, and resistance at all times. The fact that most people are doesn't prove that it's necessary. It only says that without sufficient light this is what people are all doing. Now, uh, how many of you have really been reminded very many times in your life that you don't know what ought to be? Very few is that right?We never thought of it. We just knew we did, so we never questioned it, that I didn't know what ought to be, is that right.It took a while to get to that point didn't it?You started out in life like all the rest of us. You believed it with all your might that you knew what ought to be and consequently you had a lot of conflict with various and sundry things, and when you don't know what ought to be then you can deal with what is in one way or another or you can ignore it. It'll go away in a few minutes anyway. It only comes to pass anyway.
