Now as long as we have this one down here, unconsciously, the one that started off, to gain escape, be safe at all costs, fight, scratch, stick up for our rights, try to be different, shmooze people, all unconsciously, we getting nowehreres. But once we really set down, 'Lookie here, this thing is getting me nowheres, I'm going to pick as my purpose to be peaceful this moment,'Hmm? Now you may use any one of these at any minute in order to be peaceful, you not use but everything but everything you would do would be conscious, would that be right Joseph? (sounds good) you'd be conscious. But now, your first consciousness is to choose a new purpose. Now you put off the old man and you put on a new one.
Now you have ordained the light man. Hmm? When you just pick up a new purpose, you put him in charge here, you said this the way it operates, huh?And you no longer are givin' this one the ordination of having power, huh?the black man. the black man shouldn't have power. He's to be used, he's very useful on many ways, but he is not to be given power. But every one of us have ordained the black man to have the power, is that about right? Every one of us have ordained him, set him in power, and then we have never reevaluated and taken away his authority, set up a whole new purpose of existence, based on intelligence, awareness, consciousness,what have you. Now all of this is not conscious, and this up here really is not conscious is it? Now we probably have invented a lot of excellent superstitions about X. First off we always assume that it's good. What ever that may mean. You know it's good. It never does anything bad. But if you should want to kill somebody it will pull the trigger. Do you know how to move a muscle in your finger? (yes) Do you know how to stand up? (um hum) I want you to stand up, and before you do, I want you to tell me in sequence which is the first, second, third, (audience member says 'I can't) well then you don't know how to stand up (it's automatic) well then it's not automatic, if it's automatic then you'd keep doing it when you're dead, would'nt you? (laughs)Huh? (it's a procedure, I don't have to think about it)then you don't know anything about it do you? You can only be aware that you want to stand up, consciously that you want to stand up, and X will stand you up. If you consciously wanted to kill somebody, including yourself, it'll do that too, wouldn't it? (I don't know that's what you're telling me) Well, uh, did you ever try it? (what?) That whatever asked it to do, consciously it does it, (audience member stammers-uh..I don't know, I'm not familiar with it, how can I be aware of something..) When you're sound asleep (laughs) So the first thing we said were here for is to wake up, right? and to watch the mind was doing, right?(right) So I noticed that when you're conscious of something you let X know it, and X immediatly got the body out of the way, is that right? (I don't know) You don't know, you are so asleep you don't even see what is happening? (that probably right?) Why don't you go to sleep in a bed somewheres? Huh? really, what are you taking up space for? If you can't see that much, huh (well I see what you got on the board,yes) well, obviously everybody sees that. Can you see what's taking place in you, this is what we're interested in. What I got on the board is immaterial, can you see what's taking place in you? ( can you get that out of my face?) (laughs) Can you see what's taking place in you? In other words, when you're aware, conscious of a danger, now if you were not conscious of a this, you wouldn't send any information to X. Now you don't know how to move the body, you just got through discovering that I think(I said it somewhere, but I don't know where it goes) well alright, it goes to something that has some power, is that right? (it causes me to move, yes) And it will do whatever seems to be appropriate from the consciousness that went in, seemingly. Because if it's to jump, cringe, or you felt it was appropriate to shoot, it would shoot, is that right?Hmmhmm? You know, man one of the kids did wrong and we got to get this straightened out, and so everybody comes over reacting up fine, and we have a glorious session, right? Hmm? (and we buy self improvement books)And that all goes here up to this and the more we try fiddling with this. Now does X going to do anything only the information it receives. Now this uh, we such pleasant little ideas that we build up nice superstitions and attribute all sorts of our little earthly morals that we got here. Now, X is complete. Being complete it is capable of all things, right? And if you're going to be complete would you know that you're capable of all things. You capable of murder? Some other human has so therefore you're capable of it, is that right? (right) somebody has been capable of robbing, so every one of us has that potential in us. Anything that any human has done everyone of us has the potential of doing it. Okay? But ordinarily we carry on a beautiful civil war with ourselves, instead of excepting all of us this as being here, we identify with this one for a few days, and we're going to be good this week you know, and so we repress these, we wouldn't even think this thought, if it started even running through our head,(makes a smashing sound) we mash it down, and we got it out of sight now, I didn't even think about it, I didn't think a thing, I haven't hated anybody all week, I'm holding it down. Then someday if somebody gets talking it sounds like it might be alright to do that if all things is in there, you can hate up a storm that week, huh? we're free to do it. Sure we're free to, but when we are getting in here, what are doing, we repress this one. Now, when you get run over a few days you begin to feel sorry for yourself because you just been doing what they want you to all the time, and haven't got to do a thing you want to do. You put this one repressed, and let this one up for a few days, is that right? (right, oh yeah) and now then the civil war is, this one is on the winnin' side and pushin' this one down, the battle's going the other way. Then a few days later, what happens? That got so miserable, the fuzz gets after you and all sorts of things (laughs) you decide No, I better get over here and use this one and be good, regardless of how evil other people are, and so we switch this one down and bring this one up, and ever goes the unending war, a civil war going on within each of us, and as long as that civil war is going on, where do you get after one year, two years, three years, four years, you can study, attend classes, listen to tapes, read notes, and you still back deciding which one you go,because your still trying to be what? Nondisturbed (audience says nondisturbed also)right? Be comfortable at all costs, gonna win So we ride from this side to this one and poor X is still going just whatever this one sums up, if this one is allowed up, this side of the black man is up, and says,' Boy, be goody good this week' while it'll be goody good. And this one comes up, but always there's a conflict between the two, the anxiety, the urgency, the emergency is on hand. Now in self knowledge, if we can stop to look for a moment, we can see that I am capable of all things. Every blessed one of them inside of me, I can choose which one I want to use if I am conscious. But there there aren't they? They're everyone there.Somebody has been able thieve, man I've got the possibility. I may not want to use it today, but who knows, someday I may find it very much to my advantage,hmm? I've seen cases when it looked like pretty it was pretty advantageous for somebody do a little snitchin', right? Have you? And I've seen cases where it was rather advantageous for somebody to tell a good lie, to save a life or something like that, to get yourself out of a tight spot, huh Cookie? (laughs) Be a peacemaker you know, blessed are the peacemakers and sometimes the only way to do it is to tell a good fib, huh? So all of these things are used consciously. Now we have set up that there is an ideal, and that the ideal is something called good according to which group that one of us happen to listen to here, ones we were brought up with, right? Now believe and do what you were told by your Authority, authority told you what was good. But did any one of your authorities ever tell you that the whole purpose was to be conscious? (No)Did you? (No) Now anything that you do conscious there is a parable told in a story about a man who had a good job and got fired. The first thing that he did was to cut down all the credtitors bills. And you know he was praised for that because he was conscious of what he was doing he was looking out for himself. He didn't say well I'm going to get mad at that guy who fired me and I am going to cause him all kinds of trouble. I don't want to get out here and start diggin' ditches. I'm going to go around here and get all these guys out here in a good mood with me. Hmmm?That what you do? And he was praised for it wasn't he? Right? He was conscious. Was he good? In the way you have been taught that goodie means?
PLEASE NOTE: the speaker does not mean literally a 'black man' as a person with darkly colored skin. He will state this later on in the talk, I just have not transcribed it in full yet. He means darkness within, instead of light, as in 'enlightenment' .
