- I think that heaven exists
and that we can produce it.
But we're not going to do that
by changing the behavior of other people.
It exists as a possibility, as potential.
You know, we also believe in
the existence of potential,
even though it doesn't exist.
So someone would say to you, for example,
"you're not living up to your potential"
And you know what that
means and you're willing
to regard it as a genuine statement
that reflects something
fundamentally real.
Maybe there's nothing more real about you
than your potential, strangely enough.
Well, so heaven and hell are potentials,
that doesn't mean they're not real.
And I think it's incumbent on people
to work as hard as they can not to fall
into Hell and to drag
people there with them,
and to work as diligently as possible
to bring Heaven onto earth
as rapidly as we can.
And I think that that's
the sort of thing also
that gives your life meaning.
You can start trying
to straighten up things
around yourself that
you can straighten up.
It's a good way to
begin, and you can do it.
You can do it today.
Carl Jung said modern
people do not see God
because they don't look low enough.
And I like that, it's like the injunction
to not pray in public.
Go home.
Fix up the things that you can fix up,
get good at it, and see
what you can bring about.
And if enough people did that
God only knows what we could produce man.
Who knows?
What are the limitations of a human being?
We have no idea.
We keep transcending our
limitations constantly.
I think that Heaven exists
and that we can produce it,
but we're not going to do that
by changing the behavior of other people.
