E170: From Control to Freedom—The Spiritual Art of Handling Life

I've talked to you numerous times before, and I like the shocking teachings.

You don't care about the outside.

None of you.

You do not care about the outside.

Right now, no matter what you think you think, you don't care about the outside.

You care about the inside.

I'm not talking spiritually.

I'm not talking meditation.

I'm just telling you.

If the outside did whatever it does and your inside was happy, you'd be happy.

It is not about the outside.

It's about the effect that the outside has on the inside.

And every one of you are different.

And at different times in your lives, no, a minute ago, That which could happen outside can make you feel good inside.

That which happened outside can make you feel bad inside.

Have you noticed that? You sit in there doing wonderful.

Somebody walks up to you and tells you something that you never thought about before.

All of a sudden, you're not doing good.

Somebody walks up to you and tells you something you never thought of before and you're glad it happened, you feel wonderful.

It's the inside, it's the effect that the outside has on your inner state.

All you care about is your inner state and that's not selfish, that's not ridiculous, it's just the truth.

Why? Because you live in here, you don't live out there.

You're in here, aren't you? You're in here thinking your thoughts.

You're in here feeling your feelings.

If something happens outside that makes your feelings inside feel good, you're fine with that.
