my message of course it's very very simple a lot of people come to listen to me and then sit there and kind of uptight what are we going to hear about  m relax and why relax because what i'm going to talk about this evening is already there what you're looking for in your life is already there the piece it's already so it isn't like we're here to try to come up with try to find faults with you and then say well let's see how we can improve you this isn't an improvement this is hopefully a fact finding session to realize what the fact is because so much depends upon our perception what does it mean to you to me to be human what does it mean to be alive you've got today it's almost over and god willing you will have tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that but does that mean do you look at it that way that i had today that i am alive today or do you look at it well i don't know was it a good day or their problems today are they going to be problems tomorrow so perceptions have a big thing because we are not looking at reality and our decisions are being based upon things that are not real i have a curious mind so i was looking up the word ignorance i wanted to know what the root word was where ignorance came from the word ignorance so i'm looking looking looking and i come across and i was i knew i had a suspicion but i wanted to confirm that ignorance and we plead ignorance right if somebody goes maybe you didn't know that i was ignorant i didn't know that but that's how we use it but the r ignorance there is in this world what does that mean well it means you think that could be what is that one thing that we would ignore that would have the most severe consequence on our existence what could that be  and i know some of you are sitting there i can you're thinking too loud and i can hear you what is it that we are ignoring you cannot now pick up a newspaper that does not have the word peace in it somewhere some politician some dictator some president some person peace peace peace peace peace peace peace i'll have a piece of that i know what we are ignoring in my opinion what we are ignoring is the obvious when it comes to god we are ignoring obvious that definition of god there are more people who now know the definition of god and in their definition my god is better than yours but we ignore the obvious the piece that you're looking for is not going to fall out of the sky it's really a bad idea things falling out of th do you know that you're ready for the shocker yes you do you absolutely do you absolutely know that the pieces within do you have tolerance for s not a problem nobody goes to church to pray god lately i've been having too much things have been too good i've been feeling peace i've been feeling clear i've been feeling inspired and i can't stand it any i know you're all powerful please stop this no absolutely you won't even wait to get to the church you will start right at home too much enough and enough when is this going to and when will i be happy somewhere beery somewhere so how do i get to know you want to know you want to know or you want to believe know you worked hard to come here and i want to give you enough so you can go now and what i want you to do is not believe that there is peace inside of you but know that there is peace inside of you and you're going well i speak to people but that's not my strong point my strong point is showing and i people come to me and say oh so or so how do i begin and i say first step is to truly understand  it has a lot of different elements and the elements are understanding clarity not doubt not suspense not suspense ideals but knowing understanding cla and that is the obvious that you h oh my god is it that simple yes begin with that first step and that first step is to understand that what you have been looking for is not far away from you because that will change the basic fundamental view that you have of this that your search does not need to be for that that you want needs to be an appreciation and understanding do you appreciate this is how i started do you appreciate today is that your perspective or do you judge today by the success or failure according to your but i talk about is obvious you want to know the second step stop ignoring stop ignoring don't ignore your thirst that comes from within to be happy to be fulfilled because truly if you want to know what is within you search if you want to search search look forward i don't care where you find it find it find it if you can find it look me up i'm not here to just give you hope you know oh yeah let's talk about the really hopeful thing i'm not a bumper sticker in the back of the car that says smile twenty five thousand five hundred fifty you heard that number based on an average lifespan of seventy years that's how many days you get shocking that's all twenty five thousand five hundred and fifty i just would like you to make the most of all that twenty five thousand five hundred and fifty or what ever is so you get twenty five thousand five hundred not much just one day is enough to be in that appreciation to be in that place to be in that beauty to be in that joy to be in that contentment because if it contentment wasn't contentment it wouldn't be called and and that too is with so how lucky can you every time that bread comes into you blessings galore congratulations that beauty of that power can give you breadth the joy what could you give yourself understanding another thing that i've been say said here too are you waiting for an angel to come out of the sky to save you because if you are i have good news did you know that people are looking at me going are you crazy now i'm now fortunately i'm not that was in the answer and i believe to believe i believe do you know you need to know you need to be certain that's what i say that's what i say and whatever you do what
