Akira The Don Heaven And Hell, Pt. 2
I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it, but we're not going to do that by
Changing the behaviour 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 regarded 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. And 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 out limitations constantly
I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it, but we're not going to do that by
Changing the behaviour of other people. (x2)
