Its fun to look at these old pictures once you know what they mean 00:00:01
y'know? at-at least that's what i come to understand 00:00:04
Once I kinda understand the 00:00:07
the underlying rationale for, i mean someone worked hard 00:00:09
on that, that's an engraving right? they took a long time making that picture 00:00:12
they're serious about it. 00:00:15
When you understand what it means 00:00:18
You know, all those people the-there 00:00:21
they're prostrate 00:00:22
at the revelation of the law, it's like well no wonder 00:00:26
It's like break the law! and see what happens 00:00:29
Break the Universal Moral Law man, and see what happens 00:00:32
you know i see people in that situation, well as you all do, all the time 00:00:34
Perhaps me more than you because I'm a clinical psychologist, y'know. 00:00:39
if the people I've seen haven't broken the Universal law 00:00:42
then you can bloody be sure the people around them have 00:00:45
It's No Joke! like you make a mistake and things 00:00:48
will go seriously wrong for you! 00:00:50
and so...it's no wonder you've been 00:00:53
Terrified 00:00:57
of the revelation of the structure that governs our being 00:00:58
one of the things that is so remarkable about the New Testament is that 00:01:01
this is a other thing Nietzsche commented on. 00:01:04
he was a real admirer of the Old Testament 00:01:06
Not so much of the New Testament 00:01:07
It was a sin for Europe to have glued the New Testament 00:01:09
onto the Old Testament, 00:01:12
'cause he thought the Old testament was a really accurate representation 00:01:15
of the phenomenology of being, its like (points finger up) 00:01:18
Stay Awake, speak properly 00:01:21
Be honest, or watch the Hell out! 00:01:23
Because things will come your way, 00:01:26
that you do just not want to see at all! And it might not just be you. 00:01:28
It might be everyone you know 00:01:31
and everything about your culture, that is demolished for 00:01:33
for generations after generations 00:01:36
Stay awake and be careful 00:01:39
And I think people only dont believe that when 00:01:42
they're being Hubristic 00:01:45
and i think that most people know that deep in their hearts, y'know 00:01:47
when you get high on your horse, that happens fairly often 00:01:50
If you have any sense, you'd think.. Jeez, well i'd better be careful 00:01:53
tap myself down a fair bit. 00:01:55
Because if I get too puffed up man somethings gonna come along 00:01:58
and take me out at the knees. And everyone knows that 00:02:01
Pride comes before a fall. Its like, if you have any- 00:02:03
that's why it says in the Old Testament 00:02:05
That the Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom 00:02:07
Its like, I've never in all my years as a clinical psychologist 00:02:10
And this is something that really does terrify me 00:02:13
I have never seen anyone ever get away with 00:02:16
anything at all, even once. 00:02:19
y'know theres that old Idea that God has a book, y'know? and 00:02:22
Keeps track of everything in Heaven, it's like okay, okay 00:02:25
Maybe its not a Book. 00:02:28
But that is a really useful thing to think about because, 00:02:32
and well maybe you disagree, and think that people get away with things all the time. well 00:02:35
I tell I've never seen it, what I see instead is that, 00:02:38
Thing happens, right? Someone twists the Fabric of reality. 00:02:41
And 00:02:44
they do it successfully because it doesn't snap back at them that moment. 00:02:47
And then like two years later, something unravels 00:02:49
and they get walloped, and they think, 'oh my god that's so unfair!' 00:02:52
And then we track it, it like well what happened before that and this? 00:02:55
Oh, oh this! Thats where it went wrong 00:03:04
Its this, because you can't twist the fabric of reality 00:03:07
without having it snap back at you 00:03:10
It doesn't work that way, and why would it? 00:03:13
Because what're'ye going to do? Twist the Fabric of reality? I don't think so 00:03:16
I think its bigger than you, and i think that one of the things that 00:03:19
really tempts people was the Idea that 00:03:22
'well i can get away with it' Its like, Yeah you try 00:03:25
see how well that works, its like you get away with 00:03:28
Nothing! 00:03:30
And that is the beginning of wisdom, 00:03:32
and its something that deeply terrifies me 00:03:35
Ever since last september (2017) when 00:03:37
i've come to a broader public attention One of the things 00:03:40
i've been terrified of making a mistake, because i certainly know im more then capable 00:03:42
of making a mistake, and thank God so far either 00:03:45
I've haven't made one or no ones found out about it 00:03:48
So, but its like y'know 00:03:51
we walk on a very thin and narrow edge 00:03:54
and we're very lucky when things aren't degenerating 00:03:57
into chaos or 00:03:59
rapidly moving to far too much order. 00:04:01
And its not a easy thing to stay on that line 00:04:04
and you can tell when you stand on that line 00:04:07
about the consequences of wavering off that 00:04:15
you are truly not awake! 00:04:17
and that's what I see in this picture 00:04:20
look out, man! Because there are rules and if you break them 00:04:23
god help you. 00:04:29
