You know what, it's very nice to have a village. I always dream like everyone of us. All of us have a dream like we should have a kind of spiritual village where we can live together and all the people work together and all that will be nice! But I don't know if this kind of idea really is acceptable for this kind of planet or not. It seems difficult. There have been many different groups who have tried also. Some were successful for a while but not without going through a lot of trouble; and also it depends on where you are.

If you're in India perhaps you're safer, because Indian people and the country, normally, are more accustomed to spiritual groups and all kinds of spiritual beliefs and systems; and no one cares. The Buddhists go to the Hindu temple, the Hindus go to Buddha Gaya and bow to the Buddha, and the Muslims go together with the Sikhs, whatever. Occasionally, you hear of some violence, but that's just a small fanatic group. Otherwise, the religious atmosphere in India is very, very harmonious compared to other places. So if any big spiritual group survives, mostly it's in India or Tibet; but now in Tibet no more.

If there is suddenly a vast rush of big positive energy concentrated somewhere then immediately you attract an even bigger negative energy to come because this world is a world of negative energy. Not because the world is negative. It is because the inhabitants of this planet are so accustomed to the negative atmosphere and they generate it by their thoughts, actions, expectations, brainwashing, customs or habits; they generate a kind of negative feeling, negative atmosphere around them; and they expect things negatively. They say "in God we trust but they never believe God can make so many miracles. They never dare to ask for anything because they think if they ask they won't get it anyhow. So just, "Okay, I pray to You but I know You won't give it, so it's okay, whatever. You know, their faith is not deep enough to change this planet's atmosphere into positive energy.

The Positive And Negative Power

Therefore, whatever little positive energy we can create or any real spiritual group can create sometimes attracts more negative obstacles. Not that "like attracts like, like people say but "opposites attract It has to be. Otherwise, this world is not balanced as it is. Otherwise this world would not be called the Earth planet but would be named perhaps Planet X5077, something like that, or Heavenly Abode or More Civilized Planet.

Sooner or later, every planet, any planet will evolve with the time and with this spiritual understanding. But if we evolve material-wise and not balanced with the spiritual power, then the world or planet, or any particular planet, would be destroyed in time. And that is what they call "the end of the world Not this world particularly, any world that is created and when it happens to be unbalanced by the outweigh of material advancement versus spiritual development then disasters occur; any planet after a while.

For example, a planet is just formed and it goes through evolution from caveman to being civilized, etcetera, it develops until one day they find atomic energy, electronic energy. Then troubles begin. At that time, if the world's citizens happen to discover very high energies, very advanced matter like atoms, and if they don't have enough spiritual understanding to control their knowledge of physics, then trouble begins. Then they will use it for bad things or accident can happen because of not enough intelligence to handle this dangerous but otherwise would be useful matter.

So in this world, as you can see, there are not too many spiritual practitioners as compared to non-spiritual practitioners. I mean, some people say they are Christians or they are Buddhists, or maybe of other religions but they may not necessarily practice the true religious doctrine that was suppose to be imparted to them. When you look around you, you'll find examples in plenty.

In this case, if we gathered together somewhere for so long a period of time and the energy just keeps building up, then of course something may happen because the negative power outweighs the positive at the moment. Even though we developed, developed, developed, and it has brought a great deal of benefits to the world, but still sometimes at our expense because well, many people do not understand the things that cannot be proved by material realization. But I'll tell you, even if we practiced spiritually, the material side will also have fulfillment if only you have faith.

God Can Make Anything Happen

God can make anything happen. Hes made the whole world, the whole universe, can you imagine? Look around you. How many miracles in front of you? These are miracles. Can you create one like that? No. Can you create any particle of your body the way it is? Everyone is so unique even though we all have a nose in the middle, eyes on both sides, even two ears as well; but we don't look the same. How can that be? Billions of people, rarely anyone looks the same except twins or doubles. These are rare cases. Even then, some things are different -- fingerprints, hair, eye color, thinking, lifestyle, ideals. There's something different all the time. So, if we ask for miracles, I think it's a boring subject. Miracles happen all around us everyday, every second, every minute. Look at your body and see the whole miracle from the head to toes.

So, you see, the idea of having a village together, well I don't think it's impossible; but we might spend too much energy fighting for it. Maybe just as well stay home and spend that energy to develop ourselves, go to group meditations sometimes, and mix with the world. Because that's also a way that we can bring the message into the world. Suppose if we stayed together in one place only, maybe it would be good for us, somehow it would help us, that we wouldn't have too many temptations, we wouldn't have too many negative influences.

Up to now we have tried many times, for example the first, Taiwan -- spiritual group had a life span of ten years. Well, it was a long life, for me, for a young, new aspirant, inexperienced, naive, stupid, believing that the world would think the way you do, that's what I used to do. Because I was so true to myself, I was so convinced that whatever I say people must believe me because it's the truth. (Master laughs.) Many years later, I found that things were different; but never mind, it's okay. Then we tried again in Cambodia also. Actually, we went there to help the people but then a lot of people liked to stay there, and work together. They thought maybe they could do both, work there helping the people and also at the same time stay together and meditate. But you see, it was not that simple.

Anyhow, we should create a spiritual village wherever we live, I think that's the idea. We have to attract more. (Applause) Ahh! About time you gave me some encouragement. (Applause) No! It's okay! Enough, enough! My ego will burst. (Laughter) What I mean is, the idea is to bring heaven into the home, so that every home is Buddha land, every home is heaven. It's difficult, I know, but this can be done.

Yes, otherwise, it's also very nice to stay together, for our sake, it's so beautiful. But how about your families, your friends, your associates, your boss, your work; they need you. They need your spiritual energy also, they need your loving presence to understand more about the God within themselves. If you bring that God to me, to our initiates and stick together, altogether all the Gods sit there, God number two, God number one, God number three (Master laughs), how about the society? Yes, they need us.

Even though they don't know they need us, it's also fine. We don't need recognition. But as we practice along, we know they need us. If the world has no light at all, it would be dark. Better one light here and one light there than no light. Better dim light than no light. So we have to light up our surroundings, make a spiritual village with the center as ourselves. We radiate loving energies, we make shining examples, we make a kind of heaven for the people to take refuge in wherever we live, we must create heaven, and that is our spiritual village.

So we should not have one spiritual village concentrated in one spot of the planet but we have it everywhere. Now you see, we also have Belgium, Hungary, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Chile, Costa Rica, Germany, South Africa, Portugal, Korea, China, Malaysia, Cambodia, Canada, anywhere. Indonesia, you see that, Thailand, Hong Kong. We are very rich, it's better. (Applause)

We have tried, we have tried the alternative. So we also know what it is like to stay together in one place and work together; it's also fine. I still have my group, working staff. They work, scattered everywhere, different places, but still together. This is enough. It's enough for one group to work, and the other group has a different job to do. You have to be the center of the light in the society where you live, where you work, where you have your root. You have to develop from there, you have to branch yourself everywhere like a big, big, big, tree so people will take refuge.

The Prince Of The Universe

Everyone must be a supreme master, everyone must return to your position as a supreme master, as a Buddha, as the son and daughters of God. There's no need to take refuge anywhere but inside yourself because you are God, didn't the Bible tell you that? Yes. God made man in his own image. Remember? At least we are the children of God, we must walk like God, we must act like that, like the prince of the universe. No need to take refuge anywhere, no need to run around to any spiritual village or do anything special, go to the Himalayas, nothing! Because you are God wherever you are, remember? Don't be weak. (Applause)

It's okay to have a teacher, it's okay to adore a teacher because she's beautiful, like me (applause)...God! (Applause) I'm just joking! Don't look! It's okay to have someone so that you can have an example or to have some kind of hook to hang your emotional overflow there for a while, or for some purpose, but you have to spread. Take the root here, the root must spread everywhere in order to sustain the whole big tree, and the tree must branch itself, big shade, so it protects a lot of beings.  

In a Buddhist scripture, there is story about the Banyan tree, Bodhi tree, very big. Five hundred monks could take refuge underneath its shade to practice meditation. In the old times they didn't have tents like we do and they don't build houses or big buildings like this, no air-con, just took refuge under the trees; and that's how they practiced. There was a very famous master called Long Shu Bodhisattva, Long Shu Master. Long Shu means Banya Tree Master, because he always stayed under the tree and five hundred disciples stayed together there. Would you like to stay under a tree like that, in West Virginia, Christmas time? (Master laughs) Brrr! When the snow is higher than your head? (Master laughs) Let's be practical.

Spiritual Village In India

So if they have a spiritual village together, they also have bare necessities, very simple living. Also the climate is hot, they don't need anything. They only need some chapatis to eat, and then they meditate. They drink water from the river or dig a well together, and they plant rice. Some spiritual communities in India grow their own food, because they believe the food outside is so contaminated. They'd rather plant their own wheat, rice, fruit. It's fun. Sounds very romantic. But I don't know if you, a householder used to luxuries like in the American standard, would be able to last there very long. Some of you could, but not all of you. Besides, your families would object, your friends would make trouble, and the government would make trouble for the master, etcetera. Chain reaction, you know. The idea of a spiritual village, I think we had better just leave it for a while. If it comes, it comes.

Come To Formosa

Actually, I did not start in Taiwan in the first place with the idea of having a spiritual village at all. I didn't have any village. To tell you the truth, when I first started I didn't even have a house. I stayed in a disciple's house, but that was after a long time. When I first came, I just stayed in a temple like every other nun or temple worker, cleaning the bathroom, cleaning the floor for the people to come in and worship the Buddha. Afterward I don't know how I became famous; I forgot. Someone dug me out somehow. God, yeah! Hes played (Master laughs) some game. Then after a few times I had some students. When I came down, I stayed in their house, but always on the move. Sometimes I stayed in this house, sometimes I stayed in another house. Later, so many people followed me. Like you want to do now, like the sister from South Africa who wants to follow me; they just followed. Some of them had no obligations with their families, like they were bachelors or they didn't have a husband, they didn't have a wife, or their parents said, "Okay, go where you want. You've grown up. Some parents are very easy and understanding, some parents are not. So those with understanding parents, they so-called left home and ran around with me; and wherever I stayed, they stayed.

At that time, I was wearing a monk's robe so it's very easy to follow me. They just want to become monks and nuns, too, and that is very simple in Taiwan or in Thailand. To become a monk and nun there is common practice, so they just joined and shaved their heads, that's it. (Master laughs.) They stuck to me, so what do I do? At that time I was just new, I thought everyone was the same like me. It's okay if they wanted to be nuns, it's okay with me, no problem, why not? But later, it got a little more complicated. Some of them just came without parents' permission or anything, and later we had problems. So after a while we said, "Only with parents' permission then you can come. As things developed, when you were confronted with more problems, then you had to seek solutions; otherwise, we didn't care. I didn't care.

Then we rented a house. At that time we had so many people that we couldn't stay in one room in a disciple's house anymore, so we rented a small room. Then we worked-- handicrafts or something together to pay the rent and sustain ourselves. That was in the beginning. Later they sold the house, so we became homeless. (Master laughs.) We left home again! We wandered around, we camped next to the riverside, then we bought some tents. At that time we did not earn so much money, we didn't think about money. Just as things developed, because more people came and I had to earn more money to pay rent and things like that. I didn't take donations for personal use, even from the beginning already.

So, more people then we had to kind of organize and make more work. Then we bought tents. At that time, one tent for four persons. Now we're richer, one tent one person; one person two tents even! (Master and audience laugh.) That was later on, in the later years, when we developed more. More people joined me, then we had to buy more tents. In the beginning, we didn't have that much money, and we didn't take donations, even tents, so we bought a tent for four persons; some persons were long, some short. When he slept his toes stuck out, and mosquitoes visited him every time (Master and audience laugh), same toes. Later, I said, "Okay, never mind. If we have more money, we'll buy some more tents. So the long persons could sleep square-wise (Master laughs), corner to corner. The long persons stuck together to sleep.

The Birds Don't Even Lay Their Eggs There

Very cheap, in the beginning. The piece of land that I bought for the people in Miaoli some of you know, was dirt cheap because no one went there. What the Taiwanese said was, "The birds don't even lay their eggs there! (Laughter) It was such a desolate place, that's what they meant. Even birds don't come and lay their eggs there; it meant it's a very bad place. No survival chance because no water, very dry. There was nothing around there, and the soil was not very fertile, it's a kind of very sticky soil which people use to make bricks. It was a very special clay, very sticky. You couldn't plant so many things there. You had to really work hard to make the land loose, then you could plant something; but it was not so much. So, not too many people stayed around there and not many people bought land.

Then we came and bought some from the second-hand owner; we didn't know much about it. He said he could sell it to us, sell the rights to us and then we can cultivate it and plant something there. But, recently, in the recent few years, I think other companies, other groups want to take it back. I'm not sure what they want to do with it. But it's okay. This world is temporary. Whatever we lose, it's okay. We didn't bring anything into this world so whatever we lose, it's fine. We're not bothered about it so much.

So you know, in the beginning it was very cheap; and I bought only a small piece of land. About how much? Two thousand US dollars for four or five hectares. Cheap, huh? Or not? You go and buy, now it's two hundred thousand. Couldn't even buy. Different. It was so cheap. Then we settled there. At that time, there were so many monks and nuns hanging around me already, I needed that place for them. I couldn't just hang around the river all the time. Also during that time, we had a lot of other people, so-called lay followers, came to us. So we had the place. It was convenient also because the place was cheap. We bought it, they came, then we developed it. We bought more and more with the years, and it became Miaoli Center.

Anyhow, together in one place is not always very convenient. It's very good but we had to struggle a lot. It was so convenient for people to come there and blame us for everything that happened to their children. They would say, "Oh, look here, my daughter's following you... Even if she didn't follow me, she went with the boyfriend somewhere. I never knew and then they came and blamed us. I'd say, "Go search anywhere for your daughter who I have never seen. (Master laughs.) Sometimes it was too convenient. Because we stayed there in one place all the time, anyone could come and say anything to us. It was also a disadvantage somehow. It was not always good, but it was good for the disciples. It was good for the international community when they wanted to come to see me or when we had a retreat. If they were sentimental, they'd think, "Oh, Master has stayed there. It's Her place, holy ground. Go and take some stones. (Master laughs.) Go home and put in the tea to cook. (Master laughs) Stupid! (Laughter)

Heaven Is Within You

So when we had Miaoli, everyone was happy, remember? When you went there you felt good. It was true also because the spiritual atmosphere built up with the years and you liked it. When you went there you felt like at home. But I think even if we don't have Miaoli or we don't have any other place, it doesn't matter. Heaven is within you. Maybe God wants it that way. (Applause) Some people think if I lose Miaoli or if I cannot go to Miaoli, I would feel very bad. I did feel bad, for a couple of minutes. (Laughter) I said, "Wow, that beautiful place we built with our hands, why did they destroy it?'

I felt sorry because that was the most beautiful place in Taiwan, and we made it so beautiful. You hadn't seen the back mountains. Some of the foreigners didn't go behind the mountain because we spoiled you, we let you put the tents in the front garden where it was more convenient for you. The back mountain was two kilometers away, you'd have to walk back and forth and we were worried that you were tired after the long journey. So many of you hadn't seen the caves that we made by hand, ourselves. Beautiful!

We dug out the mountain, because we wanted to protect the landscape. The mountains were very difficult. The back mountain had two shapes, one was a little bit flat and a little bit sloping like this, and the other one was so slanted like this. But when we dug caves into the mountains, and you looked down there, it was so beautiful. We wanted to also protect the landscape and the environment so we didn't destroy the mountain's shape, we kept it. So we just dug into the mountain and then built it inside. Very beautiful, very beautiful! If you have the chance, go and have a look. I can have a tour guide and earn some money. That may be the best job for me. (Master and audience laugh.) Then I'll pay taxes to the government. They probably won't say anything and then while I guide you on the tour I can blah blah spiritual issues. Yeah, let's change our job, that's good! (Applause)

Well, the difference is the name. Just because you call me "Master, you make me problems. And when you call me "the Supreme Master, you make more problems, make supreme problems for me. (Master and audience laugh) If you just call me a tour guide, who cares? I'm a tour guide, too, I'm a spiritual tour guide. I will guide you back to heaven, how about that? Free! (Applause) Not that there is a place somewhere called heaven but we must remember the heaven within us and I just remind you I have the way to do it and because of me reminding you, you have found your own heaven. So, that is the truth.

That was a beautiful place, so when I heard that some people want to destroy it but for some reason...because sometimes they misunderstand, they thought their daughter was with us but she wasn't. Anyone who stays in Miaoli Center must have the expressed permission from their parents in writing, signature and stamp, then we accept them. Yeah, you know that. We didn't do anything against the parents but some of them still could not understand. I also understood their point of view, their problems. When their daughter runs away somewhere and they think maybe she has a connection with us -- because all the friends are already there, maybe their daughters have also joined their friends; and in a moment of sadness and worry, of course, they will say anything and they'll do anything to vent their anger. Then they just pour it down on us.

We never say anything because we understand the troubled hearts of the parents. But they just found the wrong place, that's all; and a lot of damage is done sometimes through the public's misunderstanding. But that is the case with every spiritual master, every spiritual group, even any famous person, even if he/she is good. First, people build them up to the peak of their glory and honor, and then they begin to pull them down. That's a very natural phenomenon in this world. I do not expect a hundred percent success in this world, even though I know God can do anything. Just let it be.

God Takes A Holiday!

God can do anything; but God doesn't do it, because we have to do it. God is not there to do everything for us, if we don't want to do it ourselves. We have to ask for it, we have to want it, we have to create our world. We have to take matters into our hands, we have to realize the Godness within us, the powerful energy that we possess. We have to develop that, we have to remember it, we have to make use of it, we have to walk like a God on Earth. Then and there we realize that God is us. Otherwise, God can do everything, of course, otherwise Hes is no God.

But why should God do everything? God has already created the whole universe for us, created everything. Now, we are in it, it's up to us to make use of ourselves, to make whatever we want to become by our own power of faith, of no-knowledge, of self-knowledge, of self-realization. Otherwise God is no use, I tell you the truth. God has already done Hiers job, the poor man needs a rest. Hes cannot, Hes needs a rest, vacation. (Master and audience laugh.) Actually, if God does everything unasked, then why are we here? How can we realize how powerful we are. So it's up to us to make a God out of ourselves, or to make anything else you want. The decision is yours.

I talked so much again. Oh, God, talked like a preacher. You know everything already. You want to hear it again, again and again, same thing, like you eat rice everyday. The Chinese, that's why their eyes look like rice, slit. (Laughter) The Americans everyday eat bread, the Germans everyday eat potatoes, not everyday, very often -- staple food. For example like that. So maybe you like to hear about God everyday. To hear it is nice, but you have to make use of it. My God, it's so difficult to become God. Yeah, why not? Would you rather be something else?

If already everyone -- every Bible, every scriptures, every religion has declared that you are the son of God, now what else do you want to be? Why do you deny it? It is because of the mind, the brain, the social custom make us think that we're low, we're weak, can't even believe that God would bless us with everything. Ask anything, you'll have it, but you dare not. Most people dare not dream that God will give you this, give you that. Why not? That's what the Old Guy is there for. Many people don't ask Hirm, so Hes just takes a holiday, Christmas for example. God is within you, God is yourself.

The Problem Is Our Weak Faith

Every lecture boils down to the same topic. That's the only thing you must do: remember yourself, remember you're powerful, remember that you can create anything you want, with the power of your faith, with the power of your self-realization. But sometimes, because we are so used to having less, we do not dare to believe that we can have this, that and the other. That's fine, that's fine. We also don't need to have so much. We also don't need to be millionaires, be rich or anything like that, but it's possible.

It's possible even with spiritual knowledge, to be anything you want, to have anything you want, provided you want it enough, and know that you'll get it. Most of the time you say, "Okay, I don't think I'll get it anyhow, but I'll just ask Hirm. That's what prevent us from having what we want, because we already expected that the Guy would not give us. That's also okay. If you have enough to eat, fine. If you have enough clothes to wear, it's okay. No need to want too much, also fine. But it's not impossible. I just wanted to tell you.

So many people have already proved it to you. By the power of the mind alone, they can move objects, they can walk on fire, they can walk on water, they can pierce knives through their head from ear to ear and nothing happens, not even one drop of blood comes out. Even with the power of the mind alone, astral power, you can do that. They say that America is a land of opportunities, maybe it's true. The American people have a strong will, they believe they can do it, they demand all the time, better and better. They do not hesitate or feel shy to ask anyone or even God to fulfill their dreams. That's the way we should do it. So, do not try to run away from home, take refuge somewhere else, or even take refuge in the master, the master is you. You have the Master inside, what's the difference between us. Maybe your IQ is even higher than mine, who knows?

There was an American film with John Travolta, I don't know the title; but the film described a man with the power of moving objects, also the power of knowing some events that are happening in far away places, and can predict something or can read other people's messages through the air. Many people, even though they saw it, they didn't believe it. They didn't believe it was just a concentration of the mind and they wanted to operate on his brain in order to find out, for scientific research, what was the difference in his brain, between him and someone else, the so-called ordinary people.

There is no difference. They can operate until all the nerves are cut into thousand, billions of pieces, they will find no difference. There is a slight difference between human and human anyhow, but there is no difference as such if you concentrate your mind. Just a power of concentration. If you operate the physical brain there's not much difference. So it's even dangerous to be talented, to boast of your psychic power. Remember? That's why I tell you not to talk to people of your achievements. It's not safe because other people are not ready for this. They don't know more than the material existence.

Many scientists believe only in the things they can touch and can prove. So sometimes it is difficult for geniuses to survive in this world. So many geniuses have come and gone unnoticed, unrecognized and even harmed by society just because they're so ignorant. They do not know what the genius knows so they do not believe, so they seek to harm him, harm her, or sometimes they seek to prove it materially to the extent of hurting that genius, that talented or that spiritual being for that matter. I remember America has a very famous psychic, Edgar Cayce, you know him right?

Some people didn't believe that he had the concentration power to leave his body and go into some other person's body or search something else somewhere else. So they tried to experiment, stick needles into his fingernails. Do you know that or not? Well, read his books. Even I know -- I'm so ignorant about American culture, I still know. They stuck needles in his nails, just to make sure that he didn't feel anything. My God, he didn't feel at that time, but when he woke up, he did feel. Poor guy. So that's how the society treats geniuses or extraordinary persons sometimes. Not at Jesus' time only. Any time, humans do weird things sometimes. Nothing surprising. I can tell you many other instants like that in other countries, but enough of that. There is no need to dwell on this matter, so depressing.

Actually, according to some of the research and my opinion, we have a lot of advance technologies, advance medicine, advance ways to end suffering in this world right now -- even at this minute. There is no need to have hunger, no need to have suffering, no need to have disease, incurable disease anymore. We are already so advanced -- we have found many substances to combat even the most deadly diseases. But sometimes the society as a whole chooses not to do so, just to protect the economy. I think, you know better than I do.

So it's not that God doesn't give us everything, its not that God cannot do the impossible things. It's us, it's we who are the obstacles because our faith is sometimes so thin. We cannot believe that if God gives us a means to cure the disease, then Hes would give us another means to sustain the medical working system and don't let it go bankrupt. If God gives us a means to find free energy, free electric, then Hes would give us another means to sustain the whole industry, and not let people go without work. They will find other work somehow, they will find other things to do. We should live a more simple life with fewer wants. We wouldn't have to struggle so much, working, earning money, for example. There are many geniuses who can prove to us that it is workable, that this world can become a paradise, even materially, in one instant.

But so it must be that the faith of the people of this world is so little, so thin that they are so afraid to take any chance. For example, if all the sick people were cured so easily, then what become of the health care system? Your famous theme. Even just to talk about health care, people already go berserk, not to mention real medicine, real miracle cures for the people. Anyhow, maybe I talk to much. You don't have to believe it.

I have the right to say anything I want, and you have the right to believe whatever you want. We both have the right to do things the way we want.

I say what I believe, but you don't have to believe what I believe. You can believe it, or don't believe it, it's up to you; or you can do research my suggestions, my comments, then find out for yourself whether what I say is the truth or not. You have the option. You can choose. But at least I tell you something and then you have the chance to prove it, whether it's correct or not. If I didn't tell you, you may not even know that it exists. You wouldn't even have the chance to prove your IQ. So do some research yourself.

God Has Given Everything Already!

Don't ever blame God again in any prayer or in any second of your life -- that God makes so much misery, God doesn't give us medicine, God doesn't give us enough food, God doesn't give us this, that and the other. God has given everything already, long time ago. But many people, sometimes they are in power and stop this blessing. Maybe it's the planet's collective karma that helps the obstacles to materialize. So we cannot also blame that one person, this person or the whole constitution somehow. We have to look through the history. Maybe we have done so many bad things.

Actually, so what? God is always forgiving. If Hes is not forgiving, Hes is not God. For Hirm there is no bad, no good, no evil, nothing; only for the children who are learning, who are making mistakes, who are learning by mistakes, who are trying to remake themselves into real Gods by different experiments. Some people succeed in making themselves into a God in a few lifetimes remembering that they are a God, or choose the right way. Some people tumble along the way and take a longer time, but they are all in the process of making, remembering a God out of themselves. Sooner or later, we all realize.

I just wanted to tell you this to let you know that nothing is impossible with God. Even to make this world into a paradise is not impossible. It's just because of humankind, the habits. Our habit of being so negative, thinking negative, expecting negative, and having no courage to hope for anything big. The faith in God is very weak. So we are always afraid that if this happens, we'll lose our job. If free electricity comes, we'll lose our electric company, if free or good medicine comes, the doctors will go out of business or medical care will have no work to do, etcetera. It'll never happens. If we have another way to do things. God will find another way for us. Besides, if we didn't have to pay so much for electricity bills, then we wouldn't have to work so hard in the beginning. There are a lot of taxes and a lot of expenses.

So many things, so many inventions, so much research has been successful we could have paradise any minute we wanted, if only we wanted. But sometimes we choose to live in misery. That's fine with God, but don't blame the poor Old Guy. That's all. Because this is injustice, it's unfair. Hes always sends some geniuses, always send some teachers, always sends good friends to remind us of the glory of heaven and to help us to heal ourselves, to be rich, to be famous, to be beautiful, to be in abundance of everything, to be whatever we'd like to be.

Not that we want to be famous, not that we want to be rich, but this is the way we should be, we could be. Just that the society as a whole, like a big constitution, has its own law, unwritten agreement. They make every obstacle possible for every other soul. Even the developed souls have to struggle through this institution. So it's difficult for us. Never mind, you are on your way, I think, your are happy and you know. That's the secret between us, don't tell other people. Well, you can tell, if you want, but then you make me become more famous and then I'm in more trouble. Actually, to tell you the truth, to be a master is the lousiest job you ever can get. Don't ever apply for this job, I tell you. (Laughter) You can if you want to; but I warn you it's not easy. Pfoof! My God, I cannot believe there is such a job! I don't know what it is like to be president, but, pfoof, to be a teacher is terrible. Spiritual master, terrible, very, very lousy. No pay (Master and audience laugh), only get blame. Sometimes get blame for nothing. You know what, if people say they're jealous of me, say I'm a master or something, then you say, "No, no. She doesn't look like a master, She looks like a tomboy (Master and audience laugh), very funny girl. Tell them, so they don't get so jealous of me and make trouble for me.
