• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It's that dream again.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The purpose of these lessons is no other than to
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: incite each of you to take care of your life,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: For you have only one, and that one is composed
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of a given number, a very limited number of instance.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: To use that number badly is to destroy it, to
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: kill a bit of your life. Life is what we
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: do and what happens to us. Life is always eight now,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and it consists of what now is feeling oneself live,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Knowing oneself to be exists. Living consists in knowing and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: understanding ourselves, in noticing ourselves and what surrounds us, in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: being transparent to ourselves.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Life is what we do. Why do I feel like this?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And coming to clips with?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Growing up in the world we've created tends to take
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: most of the wonder, the joy, and easy laughter out
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of life. If we recognize that human problems can only
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: be lived with on a day to day basis, perhaps
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: we can keep ourselves of humor intact. Perhaps we can
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: keep our creativity and wonder alive, and perhaps we can
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: keep the lines of despair from etching themselves in our faces.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: If we're wise, we shall preserve intact these qualities of
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the human species. Toughness, courage, unselfishness, foresight, common sense, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: good humor, and they will see us safely through the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: many crises of destiny that surely await us. The individual
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: often lacks the resources to cope with the difficulties and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: falls of this kind of existence. A resistance may crumble
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: in the face of the demands that confuse and the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: enticements it imposes. The ensuing disturbance leads to increasing discouragement
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and frustration, even to desperation. The remedy for these evils,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the narrowing and eventual closing of the fatal gap between
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: man's external and his inner powers, has been and should
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: be sought in two directions, the simplification of his outer
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: life and the development of his inner powers.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Please do stay on.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's all the more reason are achieved. Fundamental among these
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: inner powers, and the wonder which priority should be given
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is the tremendous, unrealised potency of man's own will. Training
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and use constitute the foundation of all endeavors. The right
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: procedure is to postpone all intellectual discussions and theories on
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the subject, and begin by discovering the reality and the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: nature of.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The will to its direct existential experience.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: How to experience the power, the joy, the satisfaction that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: come from the proper use of the will. It comes
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: about in three phases. The first is the recognition that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the will exists. The second concerns the realization of having
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a will. The third phase of the discovery is that
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of being a will. Now, this is different from having
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a will, As is true of any experience, it cannot
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: be fully communicated by words, but the conditions favoring it
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: can be indicated. A revelation occurs, an awakening, which may
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: come when one looks at the delicate hue of the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: sky at sunset, at a majestic range of snow capped mountains,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: or into the clear.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Eyes of a child.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: No amount of intellectual consideration and study can of itself
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: take the place of the initial revelation. The awakening can
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be facilitated, often brought about by creating favorable circumstances with
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: his purpose, by the quiet and repeated contemplation of natural
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: scenery in works of art, or by opening oneself to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the charm of music.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Will. The same is true of the will. At a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: given moment, perhaps during a crisis.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: One has a vivid and unmistakable inner experience in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: reality of nature before the threatening attitude of an unfair
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: superior or one facing an excited mob. When personal reasons
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: would induce us to yield, the will gives us the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: power to say resolutely no, at all costs, I stand
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: by my convictions. The experience of willing may come also
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: in other, more quieter, subtle ways, during periods of silence
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and meditation. In moments of thoughtful deliberation and decision, a voice,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: small but distinct will sometimes make itself.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Heard, urging us to a specific course.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Of action, and we feel that it comes from the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: central core of our being. The simplest and most frequent
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: way in which we discover our will is through determined
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: action and struggle.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: When we are.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Actively wrestling with some obstacle or coping with opposing forces,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we feel a specific power rising up within us, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: this inner energy gives us the experience of willing.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You're young enough to have the currents to let go
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: of your fear when you have to. Don't back off
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: no matter what. All right, you gotta believe in yourself.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Just keep doing what you're doing, all right, don't worries
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the level of energy I need.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The discovery of the will in oneself, and even more,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the realization that the self and the will are intimately
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: connected may come as a real revelation, which can change
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: autenratically a person's self awareness and his whole attitude toward himself,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: other people, and the world. This enhanced awareness, this awakening
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and vision of new unlimited potentialities for inner expansion and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: outer action, gives a new feeling of confidence, security, joy,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a sense of wholeness. It helps us discover who we
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: are by becoming conscious of more of our true powers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: It helps us.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Grow toward transcendence, of connecting up with that power, that
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: ultimate mystery that flows through everything.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Nothing can resist a will that will stake even existence
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: for its fulfillment. It's difficult for a child raised in
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: a ghetto, who has spent fifteen years in more living
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: with failure on every side of they to really believe
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: that he can have anything he can qualify for. It's
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: hard for him to understand that even though his father
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: and mother and aunts and uncles and neighbors have all failed,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: he can succeed.
