[00:08.468]	So, this is a view of the world
[00:12.973]	As a system of mutual exploitation
[00:16.230]	And of maximal selfishness
[00:19.679]	Now it's a very profitable deal to explore
[00:23.440]
[00:26.450]	Everybody should do in their lifetime sometime (lifetime sometime)
[00:31.467]	Two things
[00:32.720]
[00:33.222]	One
[00:34.726]	Is to consider death
[00:37.235]	(Consider death)
[00:39.246]	To observe the skulls and skeletons
[00:43.258]	Consider death
[00:44.512]	(Consider death)
[00:47.770]	And to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up
[00:52.032]	Never
[00:52.783][00:52.308]
[00:53.034]	That
[00:54.290]	is a very gloomy thing for contemplation
[00:58.300]	But it's like manure
[01:01.305]	Just as manure fertilizes the plants and so on
[01:05.823]	So the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death
[01:09.579]	Is very highly generative with creative life
[01:14.340]	You get wonderful things out of that
[01:16.346]	And the other thing to contemplate is to follow the possibility of the idea that you are totally selfish
[01:24.366]	That you don't have a good thing to be said for you at all
[01:27.374]	You are a complete, utter rascal
[01:31.385]	You are a complete, utter rascal
[01:35.646]	Now, the Christians have avoided this
[01:39.157]	Because although they say in their Episcopalian form of confession
[01:42.416]	That “We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep
[01:45.678]	and we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts”
[01:49.188]	Too much, you know?
[01:51.194]	“We have offended against they holy laws.
[01:53.449]	We have left undone those things we ought to have done,
[01:55.708]	and done those things which we ought not to have done,
[01:57.963]	and there is no health in us.”
[02:00.970]	But,
[02:03.229]	it ought to be different
[02:06.241]	And we're gonna do our best to amend
[02:08.501]	with the help of God's grace
[02:12.017]	That is a real con act
[02:16.528]	If you equate health with genuine love and perfect unselfishness
[02:21.791]	Then in that sense there is no health in us when we look at ourselves from this point of view
[02:26.803]
[02:30.326]	Consider death
[02:32.764]	(Consider death)
[02:34.770]	To observe the skulls and skeletons
[02:39.282]	Consider death
[02:40.035]	(Consider death)
[02:43.295]	And to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up
[02:47.554]	Never
[02:48.057]
[02:48.307]	Consider death
[02:49.308]	(Consider death)
[02:52.064]	To observe the skulls and skeletons
[02:56.328]	Consider death
[02:57.581]	(Consider death)
[03:00.843]	And to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up
[03:05.103]	Never
