Freeing Yourself from Beliefs that No Longer Serve You

Guilt Complexes and Judgement

I have a solution for those who feel guilty

Hello my name is Phillip Wilson

The name of this talk is "Pictures of the Mind"

The subtitle of the talk is "Freeing Yourself from Beliefs That No Longer Serve You."

Uh, and, uh, they—they have guilt complexes, but that's—that's part of life, you know? And I have a solution for those who feel guilty because, see, guilty is when you're judging yourself. And one of the worst things you can do is to judge anyone.

A friend of mine gave a talk 50-some years ago called The Spiritual Ladder. Wherever you see someone on the spiritual ladder, guess where you are? One step below them. Because, basically, if you're judging them for doing something, they're already discovering that it's not bad because they're doing it. You think it's bad.

So, if you think it's bad, you're picturing it as bad. You're giving it all this energy and attention. So, you're setting yourself up to experience that so you can step into it. And by becoming aware of the pictures in your mind, you can start becoming aware of these unconscious pictures, and you can see what you're doing to yourself. And then you can stop.

And part of this lecture is to inspire you to stop and to give you tools on how to stop. Because, see, judging someone is one of the worst things we can do—to ourselves or to anyone. What does it say? They say, "Judge ye not, lest you be judged." Has anyone ever heard that? Oh, yeah, okay.

And now, why did they say that? And they don't give a solution. You know, I'm not into these dos and don'ts, you know. But, you know, I'm not into ritual, but at the same time, you can find a way to weave your way. See, all life is learning to ride the cosmic waves.

Like, a long time ago, in 1971, I—I—I had a realization. I said—and I was laughing and laughing and laughing—I said, "That's all life is. Life is a wave."

It's like a daydream. And you start daydreaming, and—and—and it's—it's really getting good and good and good. And all of a sudden, you get scared, and it stops. So, at that time, I coaxed the fear thought back into the center from whence it came. And then the daydream started to continue. And when it finally finished, it was like, "Oh my gosh."

An orgasmic moment. An ecstatic moment. And—and that's—that's what life is. And then, what happens? You have that ecstatic moment, and then you fall asleep. And then, all of a sudden, sometime later, you start daydreaming all over again. And you repeat the process over and over.

So, I had that experience back in '71, and I laughed and laughed and laughed and said, "That's all life is. Wow."

You know something? I didn't realize back then it's true. It's true now.

Uh, one of my heroes is Paul Twitchell. And in one of his books, he talks about rest points through all eternity. So, eternity is that daydream. And then there's a rest point. And then you do it over and over again.

Are you all—are you all familiar with Hindu cosmology? A day and the night of God. They say—the time is, of course, weird—it takes 4,320,000,000 years for all the worlds to be created and then to go back into nothingness. And then there's a rest point. And that's a day of God. And the night of God is the rest point.

And then, after a time, all these worlds—totally different worlds—are created. And all the souls go into these worlds and have all sorts of fun experiences, hopefully. I don't like the word "hopefully," but the goal is for us to recognize that we're a part of God, and that we are it, and it is us.

And we live in it, and it lives in us. And it's—you cannot speak truth in this world of duality. All I can say is, "I am," or "It is," or "It just is." That's the only thing I know for truth.

Because when you say, "God is love," there are 5,068 pictures of what love is. And what does it say? It says, "Thou shalt have no graven images before me." So, what is a graven image? A graven image—it's not a golden calf necessarily. It can be a mental concept.

So, your concept of God is interfering with you experiencing the All of the All of what is. Isn't that interesting? The concept of God interferes.

So, basically, going back to the letting go, okay? It's, um, you know—let it be.

That's incredible. Um, Cat Stevens was singing a song, and he says, "Where do the children play?" I can't hear that well. I thought he said, "Why do the children play?" I said, "Wow, that's the secret of life. Why do the children—?"

He was born on my birthday. And I was born on his birthday because we were born the same day in the same year. So that's his claim to fame, but he doesn't know it yet.

Michael Jackson's claim to fame was he was born in the same city as me. So, I like to tell a lot of jokes like that. I came 10 years before he did.

So, at any rate, uh, I—I first had the idea to write a book in 1970 or so. Uh, I was, uh, in my previous incarnation.

You could say, before I awakened, I was a mathematician—and quite a good one. I was a child prodigy. I finished third in the state of Indiana on a national math exam as a freshman in high school. Uh, as a senior, I messed up and got fourth in the state. Later on in college, I was second in the state, but there wasn’t much to compete with. And so, I really loved to solve math problems. That was my specialty.

So, um—good, they got out. No, no—people have a reason for leaving. Sometimes it has nothing to do with my talk, and sometimes it does. And I just have to be detached and not care, you know? It always hurts when someone walks out on you, but I’ve done that to other people, so I’m getting my—you know.

I’ve also learned—we’ve got two ears and one mouth. So, when I’m talking, I’m listening too, as hard as I’m talking, you know? Because I’ve got to figure out—well, not figure, but I’ve got to recognize whether I’m being received well. And then I have to listen so I can know what to say. Because I don’t know anything—that’s part of my claim to fame.

But I know who I am, and I know what I am. I’m not Popeye the Sailor Man, but I’m pretty close.

So, at any rate, um—judge ye not, lest ye be judged. Now, here’s—this is really funny. So, when you judge something, like we already talked about that. And when you judge yourself, that’s guilt. So, when you feel guilty about doing something, here’s what you’re really doing: you’re sentencing yourself to repeat it. Every time you feel guilty, you’ll keep repeating it until you do it with joy.

See, now, if I’m going to overeat, and I’m going to do the push-pull, push-pull thing, I’m sentencing myself to overeat again. But if I say, “I don’t care what the [expletive], I’m just going to enjoy it and get some pleasure out of it,” now I don’t have to do it again to get the experience.

Like, I used to reach for this yogurt with sugar in it—you know, but I didn’t know it was sugar. I’d reach for it, and my arm would pain. I didn’t care. I got to eat it, and I ate it. Next, it messed up my whole mental—you know, it clouded my vision and my mental perception.

Next time I reached for it—same thing. Same thing. The next time I reached for it, I said, “It ain’t worth it. It ain’t worth it.” So, that’s how we stop doing things. We allow ourselves the freedom to do what we do, totally willing to pay for the consequences.

And that’s the key, you know? We’re totally willing to pay the price, and that gives us freedom.

Now, so, the antidote—not of judgment—this is really exciting. There’s a judgment, and there’s like an off switch and an on switch. The on switch is observation.

Have you ever watched the sunset—how beautiful it is, how pretty it is—really appreciating it? That’s called observation. Like a little boy in a candy store, like you’re off on an adventure, like a deer prancing in the woods—you know, just for an adventure, just observing.

That’s—that’s the solution. Why do the children play? Remember that—life is an adventure.

Okay, how many children’s stories did you realize there are? So many children’s stories start with The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Adventures of Aladdin, The Adventures of Robin Hood. It goes on and on.

Why do you think they talk about adventures? And that’s because life is an adventure.

And when you forget that, you get into that mental realm—and that’s no fun. But life is always an adventure.

Now, one of my favorite sayings is, “Thinking without feeling brings about woe.” That’s actually a Paul Twitchell quote. He’s one of my favorite heroes, but I’ve got a few others.

Feeling without thinking brings grief. So, that’s a conundrum. And you’ve got to finally, eventually, figure out that when you can get the feelings—your emotions—and the thoughts—the mind—in harmony, then you’re free.

And so now, when—whoa—woe is woe. Like, what does woe feel like? Well, there’s a book by Shakespeare called Hamlet, and there’s a famous saying, “Woe is me.” And he’s consternated in thought because of all the lies and all whatever he did. So that’s woe. It’s not a very pleasant state.

Now, grief is a little bit more innocent, okay? Like, you can picture a woman grieving over her husband dying, you know, over his grave. Like, there’s a famous picture of a woman—from the French paintings—lying on the grass or whatever.

But, see, when you’re grieving someone dying, you don’t have the structure to realize—if you read any of Rumi’s poetry—“When have you ever been less by dying?”

“I died as a mineral, I became a plant. I died as a plant and rose to animal. I died as an animal and became a human. When have I ever been less by dying?”

And so, you know, when you realize that there is no death—and if you’ve been fortunate enough to have a near-death experience, or an out-of-body experience, or somehow been able to touch the hem of God’s robe, or whatever—you realize there is no death. And that you don’t have to grieve for them—they’re fine. You’re the one that misses them.

Eventually, you learn that with every death, there’s a birth. So, if a dog dies and you’re thrown into another world, it’s not that the dog died—you died from that world, and you’re born into a new world.

And so, you know, we have to change our perspective. And by changing our perspective, we can become more free. It doesn’t matter whether what you’re doing is right or wrong. Because, see, I don’t believe in beliefs.

Okay, what’s the signature of a belief? B-E-L-I-E-F. Every belief is a lie. It’s got to be. You know, it’s—it’s right there in front of us. But at the same time, you can’t say truth in this world. You know, it just is. “It is,” and “I am,” is about the only thing you can say.

But any belief is temporary. And you can use a belief to get to the next level, and once you’re there, it may no longer serve you.

So, what’s a good example of that? I discovered a great example of that a few years back, and everyone I’ve told it to said, “That is really good.” So, I’m going to let you know what that belief is.

A belief is like a three-story ladder. It takes you to the roof of a three-story building. That’s nice. What’s there waiting for you? A helicopter.

What’s the helicopter planning on doing? Taking you to your dream destination. Well, let me get the ladder.

It won’t fit. It won’t fit.

So, in other words, you have to let go of the ladder that served you so well. For two years, it took you to the roof. It served you so well, but your agreement—the project—is completed.

And so, when you accept that, and you just move forward, that’s a belief that no longer serves you. But if you insist on having that belief, you’ll never get to your dream destination.

And—and—and so, there are many, many examples of that in life.

So, you honor. Okay, it says, “Honor thy mother and father,” right? Well, that’s wrong. And that’s right.

It’s not wrong—it’s limited. You honor everyone.

You honor everyone. That means you’re not making them wrong or right—you just honor them where they’re at. Now, you can communicate with them. And that’s the exciting thing—that you can communicate with them because you’re honoring where they are.

And—and that’s the beauty of living life.

So anyway, I was talking about judgment, and I keep on letting myself get distracted because that’s the way I do things, and I have fun that way.

And so, what is the antidote of judging? It’s observe.

Now, what’s beautiful about the word “observe” is that it comes from the word “serve.” And so, when you’re observing, you are serving.

There’s only one thing you can serve. It’s not helping people—I don’t want to help someone rob a bank. That doesn’t help—that doesn’t serve them, see?

So, you serve that which is—or call it God, if you like.

And so, now, a lot of people can’t tell the difference between a judgment and an observation. You—you just can’t understand the difference.

You know, because we talked about observing. Observing is when you see a sunset—you’re not trying to change it. You’re not complaining.

So, what is the dark lining in a judgment?

And I pondered on this for a couple of months. And finally, about six months ago, I said, “Oh, wow.”

It’s a complaint.

There’s a book by Dale Carnegie’s daughter for teenage girls. And this one lady was complaining about her boyfriend. And she said, in that chapter, “You did all the three C’s: you complained about him, you criticized him, and you condemned him.”

Look at the pictures you’re looking at when you complain. Look at the pictures you’re looking at when you criticize. And when you condemn, you’re creating your reality by those pictures. Don’t do that to yourself.

You have free will—that’s what we’re given. But one thing—one of my premises, besides that there’s no time and space in life, is that God is a loving God.

A loving God. That means God has no intention—well, first of all, God is not a person. It doesn’t even think like that. Frankly, it doesn’t even think. But if there is a loving God, it would want rehabilitation, not punishment. Punishment does no good.

You know, we want you to be awakened and discover who and what you are—not just who you are, but what you are.

Thank you. And the self-image that you have is one of the most important pictures you possess in your mind.

I, at one time, saw myself as an absent-minded math professor. And I had a girlfriend, and she was going to be my social secretary—take care of all my life—and I was just going to do math all the time. Because I really got off on having those peak experiences of solving math problems.

And then this wasn’t to be. And so Craig came into the picture. At first, he was the evil one. But then he became this great one—the knight. Craig. Lori fell in love with Craig.

And so, for two years, I dated Lori. And then he’d come down for the weekend, and I said, “Wait a second, we’ve seen each other 40 days in a row, and I can’t see you.”

At any rate, a year and a half later, he knocked on my door. And he actually started writing me. And since I was very naive, I started writing back. He said, “Well, if Lori likes you so much, then you must be a very, very interesting person. I want to get to know you better.”

And so, I didn’t know any better. So, I just—anyway, he knocked on my door the last semester of my senior year at Indiana University. And we stayed up all night talking about all the lies she told him and told me. And we waited outside her door at 7:00 in the morning.

At that time, you know, that’s the way it was at Indiana University in 1970. So, at any rate, she wouldn’t come down—which was very smart on her part.

But at any rate, I was sort of like a zombie because I realized that from the stories he told me, I realized that, actually, he could give her what she needed. And I—I bowed out.

You know. And, uh, so I was sort of depressed, walking around like a zombie. The only thing that kept me alive, probably, is the fact that I had to teach math twice a week. I was a—I taught an honors math calculus class. I was a TA that did the problem-solving for them.

And, uh, I had—I had a realization sometime in that period, around February 1st or 2nd of 1970. And I realized I needed to get involved in music, art, and dance. I was too left-brain.

My liberal arts courses were philosophy, logic, and economics. I did take 19th-century painting and appreciation of music. But, uh, I was very, very left-brain. And my younger brother always said that I reminded him—not that I reminded him—he—I was, for him, Mr. Spock of Star Trek.

You know, that’s how I probably was in high school. I didn’t know it, but that’s how he saw me.

One of my favorite experiences as a kid was when he came into the living room after I was in college for one year. He said, “Hey, Rocky, look at this! Phil, sing the musical scale!”

So, I did: “Do, re, mi,” or however I said it. And then they continued to laugh for half an hour.

And every so often, he would come up for a breath of air and say, “See, Rocky, I told you he was tone-deaf!”

But anyway, uh, I was very left-brain. And I had this experience. And I realized I needed to get involved in music, art, and dance.

Three years later, I looked back at the experience after having incredible spiritual experiences after that. What happened? I got connected to that water—for once you drink, you never thirst again.

And this is pretty good for a—hey, we’ve got a commercial!

Hey, hey, hey!

Yeah, perfect. Tell them their timing was good.

So, what happened—they took me out of my body. Two or three spiritual beings. They showed me the overhang of about six or nine indoor handball courts where these women were doing music, art, and dance.

A third doing music, a third doing art, and a third doing dance. And they were saying, “You need to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and become—and get into that.”

In other words, you have to become a feeler, because you’ve been a thinker.

That’s why I talked about the thinking and the feeling.

One of my favorite books at that time—it just blew me away—I, every day, would walk into math classes thinking about the book. It was Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse.

Hermann Hesse was a German man who wrote Siddhartha and Steppenwolf—great books. And I read every two years, like clockwork, one of his books.

But I didn’t realize until 20 years later, when I looked back at it—so, you know, it’s like everything is ordained by God. That’s the way it works.

And the more you see that, you don’t want to argue with reality.

And here’s something else that’s related to all this. Instead of complaining about what wasn’t, you enjoy what is.

So, if something happens and someone doesn’t want to be with you or whatever, then instead of pouting or crying or complaining, just get in the moment.

Get in the moment. Look around you. See life as an adventure and start enjoying what is.

Unbelievable, the difference that makes. Because that can save you months and days and minutes and hours of pain about complaining about what wasn’t—and just enjoying what is.

Now, uh, 25 years ago, I was meditating. I—I came home from my office in 1997 at 3:00. It was rather strange for me to do that. And so, I was meditating at my house about a mile away from my health food store.

All of a sudden, I’m gone—20 minutes—because that’s what happens. I leave, and I come back. I was trying to find a new name for my company because my company was called Awareness and Health Unlimited.

It was pointed out to me—or somehow it dawned on me—that I thought “unlimited” was the positive. But Pythagoras says unlimited is the negative. Limited is the positive. You need boundaries. Otherwise, it just goes on and on and on.

And so, I was trying to find a name for my company with the word “transformation.” I wake up from the meditation. I watch the word “transformation” go back into the heart of God—or the heart of the source from which it came—and it dissipated.

Next thing I know, I’m in my body, and my third eye is wide open. And I’m looking at this beautiful paradisical lake. It’s like—have you ever seen the movie Bambi Meets Godzilla?

Well, Bambi is grazing. It’s a 26-second cartoon. And Bambi is grazing and grazing, and all of a sudden—boom—comes Godzilla’s foot, squashing Bambi.

But anyway, I’m looking at this paradisical lake. It was just beautiful. And there’s a volcano-like thing in the middle of the lake. It had this mud-gray, brown-gray circle going up it.

I learned later it was Serpent Mound. I’m just looking at it. And out pops a little lottery ball with the word “Momentum” on it. And I hear the word “Momentum.”

I said, “Oh my God, that’s the name of my new company.” With a mundane word, when I said that, they said, “Taking advantage of the moment.”

I said, “Wow. I never realized ‘moment’ came from the word ‘momentum.’ Did you know that? Did you ever realize that?”

No? I mean, you know, it’s like a common thing—like “observe” coming from the word “serve.” So, I said, “Okay.”

I’d already accepted it. “Okay, that’s the name of my new company: Momentum.” You’ve seen my stationery—“Taking advantage of the moment.”

I said, “Okay, where’s the beef?” You know, like that 1981 commercial with the old lady in the Wendy’s ad.

And then they said, “Propelling yourself into greatness.”

I said, “Wow.” And then the third eye closed, and it was blackness. I got up and wrote it down. I didn’t have any paper, so I found a database and wrote it in there.

It took me two weeks to find that database. I couldn’t remember for the life of me where it was. But that’s amazing: Momentum. Taking advantage of the moment, propelling yourself into greatness.

Now, my store manager, Nick, said a year or so later—or about two, three years later—he said, “Did you know there’s a huge difference between living in the moment and taking advantage of the moment?”

Living in the moment is living in the moment. Taking advantage of the moment is living in the moment and listening.

Listening—that’s the magic word of the day. Listening.

Okay, so, in other words, the bull—the bull doesn’t listen. It just goes. Okay? But if you’re listening, and there’s a wave coming by with new direction—because it’s like being vigilant in a forest or a jungle—you’re listening.

And all of a sudden, a new wave comes by, and you step in front of that wave, and it propels you with it.

And so, listening is key.

As a matter of fact, here’s a great—oh my God—this is it. It is. Everyone I tell this to gets really excited about it.

I haven’t said it yet, but—when you listen to your heart or your inner guidance—and some people call that God—that’s called God-listening.

Right? Well, let’s abbreviate it: G-listening.

Let’s take the hyphen out: glistening.

So, when you listen to God, you start to glisten. Isn’t that exciting?

Yes. So now you know how they got the word “glisten.” And I don’t care if that’s how they got it or not—that’s how they got it.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true.

As a matter of fact, in general, it’s not whether something is true or false—because everything is half true and half false. It’s how it is true.

And that can take you far. That can take you far.

So, whenever I get into trouble in my life, these are some of my mantras:

There is no time and space. There is no time and space. There is no time and space.

It’s just the melodrama.

I want you to know that the cast party is a whole lot more fun than our drama in life.

So, whenever something goes wrong in your life, just remember—it’s just a play. It’s just a movie.

And the cast party is when you celebrate.

Now, talking about celebrating—did you know that in one of these monasteries, they were copying Bibles? One of the monks said to the abbot, “Why are they copying from a copy? Why aren’t they copying from an original?”

So, he went down into the bottom level of the place, and all of a sudden, he started screaming—screaming and screaming. All the monks came down there and said, “What’s going on?”

And all he could say, in a state of whatever, was, “It says celebrate! It says celebrate! It says celebrate! Instead of…”

CIT. No, it’s not a true story.

Hey, I’ve got a sauna at Booth 40, if you want—it’s like divine love coming out of a box.

But it’s got—yes, do you know the word asking? No? As the king. I like that. Yeah, because the king can’t rule, you know—he has to ask. He has to have lots of people around him. As the king. Ask-king.

Yes, I love that. That sounds like a Phil Wilson thing! Next time, yes, okay, good—I’ll remember that.

So, I’ve got a sauna over there at Booth 40. You know, go in—it feels like you’re basking in divine love. Or, your grandma’s giving you a loving hug.

You are a far-infrared light being. Water is a far-infrared molecule. Dannion Brinkley—I love him, he loves me, we’re great friends—he says we are spiritual beings, but we are actually spiritual far-infrared light beings.

So, I go to my booth, and I tell people, “You know that song by James Brown? I Feel Good?” Yeah. I tell them, “Well, after going in the Relax Sauna, he wrote the song. He just jumped out, spontaneously wrote the song.”

And then someone says, “Well, he wrote that song before the sauna ever existed.”

I said, “Yeah, he had a dream. He was finishing it from his previous life.”

That’s right, exactly!

So, you know, it’s—I just have fun, okay? I learned that from my father, and my little brother carried it on. He was always telling jokes. I never told jokes, but I give talks. And in the process of giving a talk, I end up having fun. And when I have fun, sometimes I tell jokes.

The name of my book is Pictures of the Mind. You can go to picturesofthemind.com. Or you can go to philpawilson.com.

Remember, I’m Philip Wilson. And they have that band Wilson Phillips, yeah? My middle name is Anthony, but my website is philpawilson.com.

I’m going to start putting things on those websites. Like, this talk will probably be on there—partially as an audio—because I’m taping it.

Secretly.

Yeah, yeah, I’ve got my cell phone here. Thirty-two minutes already. I missed the first minute—I forgot.

But I’ve been writing. The first title of my book was originally Autobiography of a Mind. That’s when I thought I was a mind. But then, after I had a kundalini yoga experience—or a kundalini awakening experience—my whole body was electrified, and I felt like I was naturally tripping.

All of a sudden—see, before that, I said, “Oh my gosh, I can’t believe all these things I know, and hardly anyone seems to know this.”

But after I had my first out-of-body experience, and I spent the summer in Chicago, I said, “I am so [expletive] up. Everyone else in life knows what life’s about but me. How come I got missed?”

I was determined to find out. To catch up with the rest of them.

Never in my wildest dreams did I realize that I had touched the hem of God’s robe. That I had started drinking from that water—that water from which, once you drink, you never thirst again.

And I’m still as connected with that as I was way back. But—but how do you communicate?

So, in other words, I’m free. I’ve already accepted the fact—I’m totally free. Because I know how to cope with the moment.

So, I have one mission only: to do whatever I need to do. If I have to stand on my head and look like a fool—if that helps you awaken, I don’t care.

I know who I am. I just do what I need to do.

My only goal, in that respect, is to do whatever is necessary. Let—get out of the way. Get out of the way. Let it come through me and say to you what you need to hear so that you can make that next step in your journey.

Not to freedom, but of freedom.

Because you don’t want time and space.

I have a quasi-definition of pain. You want to hear it?

The awareness of time.

Have you ever hurried? Ever worried?

Have you ever waited? Have you ever had anxiety?

That's all painful stuff—not necessary.

The awareness—now, there’s a book—do that again. The awareness of time. Awareness of time is my definition of pain. A quasi-definition, because, you know, it’s not really a definition.

Now, there’s a book by Paul Twitchell called The Talons of Time. That’s a pretty scary picture, wow.

And you know what the evil ones are called inside the book? The Time Makers.

Isn’t that interesting?

So, by becoming aware that the villain—the evil two-headed god of good and evil—is time, and if you let time control you, you become enslaved.

As a matter of fact, whenever you try to control anyone, you become your own slave.

Here’s an example: someone was at some kind of park or camp, camping with a whole bunch of people. He was in charge of this little boy, you know, so he tied a rope around himself and gave the rope to the boy.

Everywhere he went, the little boy had to follow—because he was the slave, the captive.

So, there’s an example: you are a slave to whatever you capture.

So, why would you ever want to control someone? It’s like—somehow, some way, we don’t want to figure it out. We want to realize. See? Real eyes don’t conceptualize. L-I-E-S. Lies. Okay? The bad word, lies.

Okay, the world is crazy—it’s backwards. It’s like Bizarro World.

They call death insurance life insurance.

They call sickness insurance health insurance.

I mean, just be aware—just be aware that the world is backwards.

When I tried to solve a math problem, and after knocking my head against the wall 20 straight times, I said, “Okay, fine, I’ll just do the opposite.” And I get the solution.

Incidentally, in this world of duality, when any problem comes into the world—see, there’s no such thing as a problem. That’s a man thing, a mind thing. There are only situations.

But when the mind finds it complex or perplexing, we call it a problem.

Now, on the other side of that coin, always, is a solution.

So, the whole idea is not to see it as a problem but to see the solution immediately.

But if you can’t—whenever there’s a problem in this world, the solution is on the other side of the coin.

It’s just a question.

So, when the world became toxic and more toxic, there’s always going to be a solution. It’s always trusting—there’s a natural remedy for every drug.

I used to be against drugs. And I found seven, eight times herbal products that would get rid of my asthma. Then one day, they didn’t work.

So, I went to the student health center at Ohio State University and got my Tedral that I used to take as a kid. And it worked.

I said, “Okay, drugs have their place.”

I don’t get asthma hardly ever. I’ve had it once in the last 20 years. But I had to learn: drugs have their place.

Ever since then, I always found herbal remedies.

If you’re for or against anything, you exile yourself from the god-consciousness. You lock yourself in duality.

So, my phone number—I’m still not that famous—you can call me if you’d like: 626-200-8454.

My email is phil@relaxsaunas.com—that’s my company. But picturesofthemind.com and philpawilson.com are the websites.

I had a whole lot of fun speaking to you. I had no clue I was going to talk about what I talked about today.

What did you talk about?

No clue.

I’ve had fun. I believe that 98% of you had fun 98% of the time.

Joy. See? No pain, no gain? There’s a new rule. The rule is you can have gain through joy.

That’s true. It doesn’t have to be through pain. Like, Jesus came to bring the law of love instead of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

So, you know, life is what it is. I trust that you all had a good time.

I appreciate all of your attentiveness and all of your love and appreciation.

I have about one minute before I’m supposed to finish talking, so that’s good.

Sometimes, limitations are good.

See, if I went on and on and on and on, you guys would get tired. You’d forget all the wonderful things that came through me.

What’s your booth about?

That’s what I was going to ask—what booth for you?

I have a far-infrared healing light sauna.

Yeah, so we are far-infrared light beings. Go—you have a good hour. Experience the sauna. It’s better than sliced bread.

It truly feels like you’re being hugged by your loving grandma or basking in divine love. It gets rid of pain instantly—50% to 100% of your pain in five minutes.

Without sweating.

Yeah, without sweating. I mean, if you want to sweat, you can do 20 minutes and have the best detox.

Not here—leave your clothes on.

Go.

Do you have—is it portable?

It’s portable, yeah. It fits in a carrying case. It fits in a suitcase with a chair.

And it’s in my hotel room.

Well, it was—well, there are—you can just—

Yeah, we have one of those, too.

So, go visit my booth at Booth 40. Talk to my people. I’ve got three guys there—two guys and a woman.

Booth 40.

For today?

Yes, family and friends discount—$200 off today.

And I want to go on and on, but she says I’ve got to leave.

Thanks again so much. I really appreciate it.

One last thing—Venus stands for love, right? That’s in astrology. But love—they say Venus is appreciate and value.

So, anytime the word “love” gets overused and people don’t accept it, tell them how much you appreciate them or how much you value them. It’ll have much more impact, I think.

Okay, thanks so much, everyone.

Thank you.

[Applause]
