Introducing the Possibility of Knowledge - Transcript

This video, titled 'Introducing the Possibility of Knowledge',
a Visions International release, was produced in 2000. It contains
scenes from two training sessions Elan Vital held to teach Prem
Rawat's students how to introduce people to the "possibility of
Knowledge" and a speech in Miami. The "invited guests" paid dearly for
the chance to be at these sessions as their Master was going to be
there. Nearly all of
them had been devotees of Maharaji for up to 30 years and so the idea
that they needed such training was extraordinary enough in itself. What
made it even more remarkable is that most of them had been doing such
personal
and public proselytisation in the 1970's relatively successfully
despite the derision he had received in the press until Rawat had
ordered them to cease and desist circa 1983.

This is the training of how to present Knowledge and that will be
videoed and that video will be made available throughout, hopefully,
the whole world (makes quote marks with fingers) for people who are
interested in presenting Knowledge.

What has to happen has to be synchronised, has to be a synchronised
effort in the community and like I said with that enthusiasm that is
sincere, that is real. Inknow dfrom my experience that it is always the
right time, always the right time to give propagation a push.

Introducing The Possibility of Knowledge

(Female Voiceover) Maharaji as been speaking about the topic of Knowledge since he was a young boy in India.
"While Knowledge itself has never changed, the way people have spoken about it over the years has. At the end of July, Maharaji spent two days in Atlanta, Georgia talking to a group of invited guests
about how best to introduce the possibility of Knowledge. Then in
September,
Maharaji spoke further about the objectives of the Atlanta Training in
Amaroo, Australia. The following broadcast contains excerpts from both
meetings."

Objectives of the Training

Amaroo, Australia September 2000

Objectives

1. To feel comfortable communicating about Knowledge.

Here we go, objectives, you should feel comfortable communicating about
the possibility Knowledge. The keywords here are "about the possibility
of Knowledge."
Should everybody have Knowledge? (long pause, laughter) I see there's a
lot of people and they're like (shifts eyes left and right, loud
laughter).
I feel electricity going both ways in my muscles, this way and this way
and ... I don't know which way to go first. Now you just, you just
think about it OK?
It's very simple. It's very simple. Only those people who want
Knowledge should have it. That's one of the fundamental things. How can
you discard, you know, "Ask and it shall be given,
knock and it shall be opened unto you." Fundamentals. Fundamentals. So
a lot of people come with "Yes, yes, everybody, it would be great if
everybody had Knowledge. Well,
that's again one of those things, great intentions, but how can you for
the sake of the great intentions you have discard the fundamentals of
Knowledge itself. No, you can't do that.
Knowledge can only be made available to those people who are genuinely
interested. That is one of the conditions.

Objectives

1. To feel comfortable communicating about Knowledge.

2. To avoid misleading scenarios.

After this training you should be able to avoid misleading scenarios. What is it all about?
There is a person, there is a Master, who makes Knowledge available.
There it is. That's the
beginning and the end of it. But if you're out there to convert people
you're gonna have problems. Because when go to convert it's like put up
your dukes (makes fists, laughter). This is how the conversations begin.

"Because to convert a person what fundamentally you have to do is prove everything they're doing is wrong.
And so if you start with "you're wrong" the other guy will go "No, I'm not!"

Objectives

1. To feel comfortable communicating about Knowledge.

2. To avoid misleading scenarios.

3. To accomplish greater precision and synchronicity.

You should be able to accomplish your objectives with greater precision and synchronocity (sic).
It would be really nice where the two other trainings, there's this Training, this is about talking about Knowledge and so we can
have it in a DVD format and that way we could reach a lotta people
and that, this would be going to a lotta people, this, this actual
training and uh it would be great to know that everybody is talking
Knowledge,
about Knowledge the same way.

Objectives

1. To feel comfortable communicating about Knowledge.

2. To avoid misleading scenarios.

3. To accomplish greater precision and synchronicity.

4. To utilize the help of the team.

Last, but not elast, you should be able to utilize the help of the
team. Do I believe in it, yeah, I do. Cause it takes a team, it has
always taken a team.
"From the time of Shri Maharaji
whether he was sitting by his instructors, whether he's giving an
event, it always took a team, it
took a team effort to do it so let's not con ourselves into thinking it
doesn't take a team. But once there is a clear recognition that it
takes a team then may as wel.l may as well make that team work.

Communicating About the Possibility of Knowledge

Atlanta Georgia July 2000

You can, you should feel comfortable communicating about the
possibility of Knowledge, only possibility of Knowledge, that's all you
can do.
You can't tell somebody about Knowledge. Knowledge is not an issue of
the mind. Beyond your mind, beyond your comprehension lies the realm of
Knowledge. So keep talking,
you're not going anywhere. You have Knowledge, do you think it is
beyond comprehension by the mind? What you feel within you when you
practise, how can you objectively describe that? Without using or
abusing all the adjectives, "Oh it's beautiful, it's wonderul, it's
fantastic, it's incredible, it's great, it's da, da,da,da da.

"When no two people in this world,
can describe even the process of drinking water the same way.
It's futile to even attempt to get into that realm of "Let me explain
to you what Knowledge is." So what I'm saying to you is that in this
day and age when we can communicate
so well the possibility of Knowledege so well we must understand there
is a serious limitation and I'm grinding this into you that there is a
limitation because I don't
think you have ever looked at it as a limitation. Just, you know,
bouncy, bubbly happy feeling, well let me, you know (waves hands in
circular motions)
Maharaji,
why don't you come up with a leaflet that we can pass on to people that
talks about Knowledge, can't be done!. Maharaji, why
don't you come up with a video that talks about Knowledge, can't be
done! Maharaji, why don't you write a book on the subject of Knowledge,
can't be done!"

One of the things I talk about later on is limitations and it's a
wonderful subject because for a lot of us we look at limitations
negatively but there are positive limitations too.
If you have a horse that is so intelligent that every time you get it
over to a cliff, it won't go any further. Wll that's a good thing isn't
it? My horse is so smart that it
won't go over a cliff. Yeah, you can count it as a limitation but it's
a positive limitation. And therefore Knowledge has a very positive
limitation too.
If you're not interested in it, it won't work for you. That's an
automatic limit that it has. Even if you receive it and don't practise
it, it won't work for you.
It is an automatic limitation that it has, so recognising some of these
things, that all we are trying to do in this field of informing people
about Knowledge
is only the possibility exists and that's all it is. So Knowledge can
only be presented as a possibility because we have a choice. Every
human being on the face of this earth has a choice.
And that choice to have this fulfillment is a possibility and that's
why it talks about you should feel comfortable communicating about the
possiblity of Knowledge and of course
this is a loaded statement because if you understand that Knowledge is
only a possibility you will feel a lot more comfortable talking about
it.

Avoiding Msleading Scenarios

Why are there misleading scenarios? Because if you understand the limitation of Knowledge then it is not a subject that can be comprehended by this mindNow
I know some of you are getting hyper-spiritual and getting excited
about that but in my opinion flying an airplane is like that too.
Driving a care is like that too. Riding a bike is like that too. I can
tell you, look ahead, pedal, pedal, pedal, hold the steering, hold the
wheel but that's not going to teach
you how to ride a bike. How do you transpose your knowledge, what you
know to ride a bike to a person who doesn't? Can it be done? It cannot
be done, simply cannot be done.
Experience rules supreme here not facts and fictionsso
what I'm saying is not coming from a real context then I'm gonna make
up things. Oh, it's this and it's that and Oh it's just. "Will it fix
my migraine?" "Oh yes, you won't have to ever take a Tynenol again."
"Ah, will it fix my blood pressure?" "Yes, of course it'll fix your
blood pressure." It always fascinates me, it always fascinates me.
People say "Will it fix my problems, take a way my frustrations?"
If we don't recognise the limitations of Knowledge we're gonna end up
creating more rules and more rules and more rules and more rules, what
we can say and what we can't say and
what we can do and what we can't do. What we need to do is understand
these limitations and not go out and give misleading scenarios. You
know it, a lot of people come from the thing "I have to sell Knowledge,
I have to make a good impression about Knowledge." Well, aking a good
impression about Knowledge is not so bad but when it sales gets, gets
into it, then it's bad, then it's terrible.
And a lotta people don't know the difference that when they're starting
to sell Knowledge because as soon as you start selling Knowledge well
it all goes to the dumps.

Understanding the Fundamentals

Knowledge and all things associated with it are compliments of the Master.
The Master doesn't want Knowledge sessions to happen, guess what? They're not happening. The Master changes the rules, creates the rules, disposes of these rules as the Master wishes. The possibility of Knowledge
is brought to you by the compliments of your friendly Master. (laughter
and scattered applause)
Now I'm not getting into the logistics of it, OK. I understand it is
the people who are interested make many of those things a physical
reality

but the key frame here, compliments, Master says yes this is OK to do. You may talk about
Knowledge, you may not talk about Knowledge. Both have to be taken with the same stride.
If
you're borrowing your neighbour's car, the neighbour says, "Yes you may
drive it" but one day the neighbour may say "No you may not drive it, I
want my car back." You have to
realize ownership of Knowledge resides with the Master. (one clap)
Hearing about Knowledge is a privilege.
Being able to talk about Knowledge is a privilege, it's not a right, it's a privilege. Receiving Knowledge is a privilege. Being able to practice Knowledge is a privilege. Being able to participate is a privilege.

The New Approach

In our approach to introducing Knowledge, forget about introducing
Knowledge, it's a much bigger package now. So you are here. OK we're
gonna find out some new fancy ways to introduce Knowledge?
Let's eliminate introduction to Knowledge as we know it. Let's say it's
one thing and what is the one thing? Follow-up as well. Up till now if
that's the whole pie, introducing Knowledge
was maybe just a small fraction of what goes on. Now let's not look at
it that way. Till up to now it was "Well, let me just introduce and
then I'll hand, hand the person over to the system.
And the system will carry, instructors will get involved and then this
will happen and that will happen and they'll start going to the hall
and attend the videos and do this and do that and.
Right? So let's not do that, let's just stay and eliminate this and say
let's just really look at the whole part of the picture, however big
that picture is. Not just introducng Knowledge
but follow-up as well and it would be great to shoot and achieve 100%.
So this is where, this is where the difference starts to come up. Every
person
introduced to Knowledge ends up not only receiving Knowledge but
practising as well. Broaden our horizons.
There were times my job is only to introduce Knowledge, the rest is not
up to me, right, but now you know how Knowledge sessions happen. Now
what you may ultimately end up doing is playing a small role but let's
look at the overview, the overall picture that we develop whatever
system we develop introducing Knowledge it should not just be limited
to introducing Knowledge it should very well have the characters built
into it to how this person is going to end up receiving Knowledge and
continue to enjoy Knowledge. What good is it to come up with a
Knowledge introduction system that doesn't take into account the final
factor which is to enjoy Knowledge for the rest of their lives.

The Benefit Of
Doing Your Homework

Toronto Canada, June 2000

You know there's one person in one of the
communities and they've had incredibly succ high success rate in
bringing people to Knowledge and of course one of the instructors got
interested (mumbles)
"How you do this?" and the guy said "Look what I do, I have gone in the
Library and looked at all these videos and I choose the video for the
person that I think will do them the best." Just that much little homework produced an incredible amount of result. Imagine if that starts to happen in all the communities.

You don't have to dazzle anybody with knowledge,
you really don't. Knowledge is more beautiful than anything you can say
about it. So let them experience it first hand. Let it be that pleasant
surprise
and it is, let it be that.

If one person in the United States is having a better success rate
introducing people to Knowledge because this person does their homework
by watching the videos that are available, familiarizing
themselves with the videos, then depending who that that person is
talking to hands them that video and achieves a much better success
rate.

I think somebody is trying to tell us something.
Am I mistaken there? You mean I think that's staring you in the face
and saying if we come together, right, do our homework, we can actually change a lot of these outcomes."

There is a lot of people out there that are willing to listen to Knowl the introduction to Knowledge and wanting to receive Knowledge. It'll keep you
busy for the rest of your life, don't worry about that."

A Little History

When a lot of the mahatmas came to the West
they brought with them immeasurable amount of concepts and it kinda
went wild
and there was no stopping it. The backlash of that I had to directly
bear because people would ask me point blank these questions, "Are you
this, are you that, you know, what is this, what is that?" Whereas, a
event or a
question and answer session was very informative for people because the
questions were being dealt with, it slowly changed to where you were
trying to lay down groundwork of what you are not or what you don't do,
what you
aren't you shouldn't expect will happen."

Well
in a way that went on for an extremely long time and this is my key of
bringing the history here. That people were very open to Knowledge,
that people were very open to me and I really don't think that I have
ever felt that
that has changed. That people are still very open and when they listen
and what they hear they're just as fascinated by it as they were when I
was a little boy talking about the same stuff. So that's the good news,
the bad
news is that the concepts have really gotten us buried in a hole to
this day where we're still having to defend ourselves, which I find
pathetic, having to defend ourselves and say, "No these things are not true."

So we cannot
afford to perpetuate any concepts. Knowledge works, look you mean,
let's face it, Knowledge works. The Master when given that right
environment does his thing and it's great. It all works.
Whatever we forge for the future we have to remember where we came from
and we have to remember most importantly how incredibly dangerous,
incredibly dangerous this stuff is. Shooting your mouth off is not
innocent by any stretch of the imagination."

What you say in your fuzzy feeling,
you know what I mean fuzzy feeling when you're feeling nice and oh oooh
so inspired, can be deadly
dangerous. What you say cannot have any tolerance for mistakes. What do
you think? Does this part of the history make any sense and why I'm
bringing this up cause I see you in the same shoes. There's a lot more
of you than
there were of them. Comprende? Just playing Russian Roulette with a lot
more guns. Your chances go up. I don't want to be in those shoes.

I don't think these mistakes have to happen and I
don't think that these mistakes need to be there and we can look at
them and we can evaluate them and the question you have to ask
yourself, genuinely,
do you believe in Knowledge? Does Knowledge work? Does it work for you?
And I'm not talking about miracles I'm just talking about putting you
in touch with that feeling that is inside of you that is (shaking his
head from
side to side) very simply beautiful. Does what Maharaji say inspire you
and put you in that right path and remind you of those things that are
important to you. Now that you have knowledge then that's it, that's,
that's
sufficient. Those two things right there in a nutshell, if you
understand that and accept that end of conversation. That's very
powerful. No more if needs to be added to that, that's it.

But if you're gonna have doubts about it,
if you and doubts sometimes comes you know even trying to compare other
persons' experience "Oh well that person
must have better experience than me." That that throws the doubt in
there. It's over. Cause it's not, then you're not standing on your
experience, you see what I mean, you have to, you have to stand on your
experience and
if it's good and if its' solid enough that you can stand on it then
that's end of conversation. The Knowledge is not working as a belief
system, Knowledge is a living thing, you are a living thing then what
is happening
here is a living thing, the people who are being reached are living
people so let's not arouse their concepts, their concepts are not a
living thing unvariably as soon as a concept is made to live it
evaporates. You don't
have to try to present me in any other picture than who I am and you do
not have to try to present Knowledge in any other picture than what it
is because it is beautiful. It's incredible

Let me put it very
simply are you in your own self content with not having to define
Maharaji? Maharaji is Maharaji. How comfortable are you without having
to define Maharaji? That's the real question. Are you comfortable with
that? Cause if
you're not then you're gonna sit halfway half-baked between the belief
system and what Knowledge means. Until that happens the history can
never really be cleared up cause it still lives in that error, the shade of darkness still looms."

Are you trying to create a positive image for me?
Here's another consideration. You're trying to create a positive image
for me, are you selling me? Do you really want to sell me? Maybe what
we are
saying about Maharaji and Knowledge isn't really appropriate. It should
be better than that. That in fact Knowledge and Maharaji deserve more
respect than how we're putting and presenting Maharaji and Knowledge.
But now
hopefully you're going to look at this with a little more sense of
responsibility and not only a sense of responsibility but here I may be
opening up the door to a person and I would like that this person not
only to be
introduced to Knowledge but I want this person to also receive
Knowledge and I would like that person to continue enjoying the
experience of Knowledge.

Respond To Your Heart

Miami, Florida, May 2000

Right now there is something to the tone of 60,000 aspirants waiting for Knowledge.
Should that number grow? Yes. How
will it grow? It will grow if we become ready to respond. I'm not
asking you to respond to me I'm asking you to respond to your heart.
Cause I know if you respond to your heart , your heart will respond to
this Knowledge.
To me that's how it happened. That's how you got to Knowledge,
remember? (applause) That's how you got to Knowledge, all I had to do
was just like a tennis match, right? All I said was listen to your
heart and you did and
you received Knowledge. It's a simple process, so here is an
opportunity that is presenting itself, to come with sincerity and to
want to help, it is the chance of a lifetime, chance of a lifetime. I
know people and one
person passed away not too long ago the beginning of this year. All his
life a simple man, simple man all his life, all his life, help, help,
help, help, help, help. And he was an instructor for the longest time
and he
could no longer do that. He got to a point where he could no longer do
that so he picked up the gardening tools to help. Whatever he could do
because it comes and it has to come from the heart.

One of the,
one of our objective of introducing Knowledge to people really has to
be to kinda make this pleasurable process for them. (laughter) Yeah, an
enjoyable
process cause uh when things are right it should be and I I I like I'm not I'm not really trying to say here what you should say and you
shouldn't say, and you shouldn't say I'm trying just bring out some understanding this time around because a long time ago I did say to people "Please don't say anything" and it was really a stop-gap measure
and I'm
revisiting that whole scene and I'm saying OK it is time to be actively
involved and let's have this training and in this training what I'm
trying to do is not put words in your mouth but try to give you some
understanding
so that you will understand there is no necessity to go out and say
things that are phfft and secondly make it a pleasurable experience for
yourself and for the other person. I think it'll work. Trying to give
you a
picture, not just a microscopic picture for a, you know, tunnel vision
but I'm trying to give you a big picture and what I'm saying to you in
essence is that, you know, your responsibility is not only going to be
for the
introduction but somehow, you, what you say needs to be projected in a
way where it does take into account the fact that yes, this person not
only becomes interested in Knowledge but yes this person receives
Knowledge and
yes this person enjoys Knowledge. Because what I'm saying to you is
this "Hey guys. I only wanna give Knowledge to those people who will
continue to enjoy it" so do it in a way for me, this introduction
business where once
they do end up receiving Knowledge, they will enjoy it. And that's why
I brought up the point do you feel comfortable enough in your own
understanding, cause if you don't, you won't do it. Where do you see
prop, propagation
ending up in another 5 years the way we are going unless there is major
change? It's gonna drag (makes downward curve with hand).

Precision and Synchronization

Now let's take the next jump is a whole another
ball game and it's gonna require for people to be together, people will
have to take a tremendous amount of responsibility and people are gonna
have to
take a tremendous amount of incentive but the incentive cannot happen
in Lone Ranger style it has to happen in a synchronized
fashion.<>/p>

You know this is, this is about passion, this is, you have to have a passion for wanting to do this

If you're just here "Well give me some words, you
know, how should I do this? Give me my ABCDs I'll just go out and enact
that in my community." It's not gonna cook.

Do you really think if I just said "OK, what's you idea and what's your
idea and what's your idea we'd get any where. It's not about ideas,
it's about understanding fundamentals, this is what I'm trying
to do today, set a good layer of fundamentals down so that that when
you start to do the hands on work it's like OK we know where our
dimensions are. Where we know we can't cross and where we can go and
enjoy the process.
It's a challenge but it's not a bad challenge to do your best not be
caught up in tell me what to do. How many of you operate in that way in
your life. Just tell me what to do, just tell me what to do. So you are
going to
introduce the idea of freedom to other people with shackles on? Give
those people, the new people who don't have Knowledge some credit cause
once you were like them. Have you forgotten
that once you didn't have Knowledge either? And of all the journeys of
up and ups and downs and doubts that you have gone
somehow that could have been minimised or eliminated wouldn't that be
nice? That when you after you received Knowledge that you would have
had the strength not to get caught up in doubts but to be clear and
continue to
practice and enjoy and enjoy and enjoy and enjoy and enjoy."

And wouldn't it have been nice not to listen to
all the other things but to listen to Maharaji and have that connection
and feel connected. Wouldn't that have been nice? Off the bat.

Knowledge is a Personal Journey

I don't know if you can present Knowledge as a course.
Here watch 15 videos, it'll take 5 months and then you will be ready.
This is much more of a
personal journey. We can not start abdicating that responsibility by
making it a course. The idea of people watching videos, getting their
questions answered and proceeding on the path of wanting to have
Knowledge and enjoy
Knowledge cannot be presented as an academic process because it is not
an academic process. It neither substitutes Maharaji nor is it intended
to substitute Maharaji. I mean this is how we're going to achieve that
100% when
we all understand what we're trying to drive at, what we're trying to
achieve because if you boil your function down just as a passer of a
video it is going to become academic. Because you know 2 days later
that guy might
come and say "Well I'm very interested, what am I going to do?" "Well
watch more videos." But that wouldn't take very long for my mind to say
"OK, I guess, that's all I have to do is watch some more videos then
I'll get
Knowledge." I'm sure you've come across people who think that through
videos they will receive Knowledge if they just keep watching one day
BANG you know, they'll have Knowledge.

Knowledge Cannot Be Boiled Down To Technicalities

Let's talk about a little bit of
a myth, you don't propagate Knowledge, in fact when it boils down to
this little word 'propagate', not that little, this is I think the
culprit right here (Rawat has been pointing a remote control or a laser
pointer at a
screen or whiteboard) 'propagate'. Because it takes a process that is
so incredible and it reduces it to technicalities. Let me make a card,
let me
make a brochure, let me make a video, let me make a disk, let me put up
a web site. Let me say whatever I feel like today. Time out. That's not
what it is about. This is awakening the heart, quenching the thirst,
connections that have been broken for so many years to re-establish
those connections with the heart, with the thirst, with the want, the
fulfillment. So how mechanical can you make a process like that?.

Also remembering, also remembering that it is the Master that needs to be connected to this person, right? and the
Master's message that needs to be connected to this person, how much of yourself do you interject in that?"

It's A Curious Little History

Miami Florida May 2000

You know and it's a it's a curious little history
because there was a time where people would introduce
Knowledge to other people and it was wild, it was absolutely,
incredibly wild, I spoke 48 languages, in those days, walk on water,
walking on water, no problem. And an introduction of Knowledge was not based upon Knowledge
not based upon those factors it was based upon "Let me see if I can
dazzle you because if I can dazzle you I got your attention."And people
love to be dazzled, who doesn't? Knowledge is not about dazzling, this
is a journey that they have to take.

So then came a time when I said "Please you know do me a favour don't say anything just pass on a video or
something." But I feel that the time has come
where if we can have a broad spectrum of material that is available to
people to pass
on that it will severely curtail their fantastic imaginations and they
will tend to synchronise their tend to synchronise to what is in the
materials rather than to just go off and you know "Yeah, 48 languages,
he knows 48
languages", I know no 48 languages. So the chance, the opportunity, one
thing I was mentioning to someone, I said if we could bring, marry,
merge, mix the enthusiasm of the 70s
with the understanding of today and the technology of today, marry the
two together, we'll come out way ahead of the game. (applause)"

Master will give you an opportunity
to do something and provide you more support than you can possibly
imagine to accomplish it. Even if it
is by one word saying "Keep it simple." We cannot become indifferent to
the fundamental elements that are involved. This is a very human thing
and really what we're trying to accomplish is as much as possible that
the
person, the aspirant, feels that they're connected to the source.
Support should be there but it should be in such a way that it is
peripheral not that it detracts takes away from what that vision needs
to be for that
student for that person. Pretty simple, straightforward.

When it is my ball,
why do I need you?" But I'm saying I need that support and I need that
help. I don't have to but I'm saying, I'll tell you that
you'll hear things from me, that's why I'm here, the world's a
different place. You sit here in America or some place ??? the world,
the world, the world. No, it's just people, it's just people and
exactly like you with
different flavours. It's the same lollipop (some laughter) with
different flavours. And that is wonderful because it breaks the
monotony but it's the same lollipop. Whether it's China, India, Nepal,
Malaysia, Singapore,
Africa, same thing. Now there are concepts and people who would love,
who thrive on the differences and they do. They do an incredible
disservice to humanity wedge differences, highlight difference because
really, really
what needs to be highlighted is our similarities, our pain, it's the
same, our joys, they're the same. There isn't one culture I know of
that doesn't like to dance. It doesn't matter if their dance takes half
an hour to do
this (takes a step) (some laughter). It doesn't matter if their singing
is completely off key, it doesn't matter if their song is made out of
one word but this is life is we express it doesn't matter what we look
like. And
you know if you're going to be involved in propagation you've got to
fundamentally understand you cannot have reservations about people,
people are people you have to look at their thirst, you have to look at
their wants,
you have to desire to be happy to be content, that's exactly the same
wherever I go. And one of the questions you definitely have to ask, you
know, are are "Do you carry those differences in you?" Cause you
shouldn't.
People just like to be treated like people, that's all. That's all
anybody is asking, nobody is asking for anything else, they just want
to be treated like human beings, that's all.

Come With Your Strength, Not Your Weakness

If I'm going to venture on a road where nobody
has walked before I don't need a whole bunch of people who've got
walking shoes on, I need people with shovels cause if we're gonna go
places where no
roads exist it is not the people ready to walk that I need, need people
to make road, the difference. So if you come in your beautiful walking
shoes, got your backpack and say "where are we going today?" Wait,
you're not
needed. You come with your shovel and say "OK boss, where are we going
to dig today?" Alright, let's go. That's what this is all about. It has
never been done, it really hasn't, you really have to appreciate it has
never
been done. What we are about to do ahs never been done. That's why it's
fun.

The Importance of Teamwork

Now I'm an optimist, not a pessimist and I have
had, you know, difficult times with the team, you know, at times and I
am sure that everybody has because the objectives fray, everybody in
the team
starts to come up with their own objective of what they want to
accomplish, of what they want to do and when that happens there is
onlonger a team. You know I was reading, I've had this little book I
was reading uh about
all the booboos that have happened, you know, incredible, incredible
booboos and this one guy finally retires after 23 times he's scored the
goal on the wrong side (loud laughter). I'll. That's what we don't
want. And there
you know to me there is no objective that is so difficult that it
cannot be accomplished. There is no goal that is so difficult that it
can't be fulfilled. It can be achieved, it definitely can be achieved.
Whatever,
whatever, but it takes that synchro, that synchronicity and it takes
that courage to say "OK, I will give it my best."

Propagation Requires Infinite Patience

To be involved in propagation, you have to have infinite patience, get it, cause you're gonna make that effort and nothing is gonna happen
and you're gonna make that effort and nothing is gonna happen and
you're gonna make that effort and nothing is gonna happen and you're
gonna make that effort and nothing is gonna
happen and nothing is gonna happen and nothing is gonna happen and then
you don't give you, you just keep at it, then you keep at it, then you
keep at it and then one day, Ba Ba Boom!

I Want To Plow The Field

Miami, Florida May 2000

I just want to make the possibility of Knowledge
available to people, that's all. If they so wish in their life to
pursue it. I just want to plow the field, that's all I wanna do. Do you
remember that
story where this man bought that farm, worked it all his life, took
everything he had, bought gold and buried, told his children if you
wanna become rich, plow the field.

"If they want it they will have it, if they don't want it fine. I'm not forcing it. This is not a religion."

"That's what this is all about. It has never been done you know you really have to appreciate it has never been done.
What we are about to do has never been done."

I hope you get something out of it
and I hope you remember something of it and I hope, most importantly it
helps you.
I think uh I think it's exciting if even a little bit of what we have
discussed and talked about comes true it'll be more than any any
fantasy fulfilled."
