The Toll Booth Revelation

September 19, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Great revelations can happen in a toll booth, which in this talk is a metaphor for your everyday mind and life. It is there that the Son of Man is liberated from the cross of conditioning, from the cross of Pain. Without telling you what the Toll Booth Revelation is (listen to the talk), my point is that all the wisdom teachings my be applied to your everyday life in order for them to become Truth. Unless they work for you like a recipe, you will not taste the meal. This is very scientific. The theory must be reproduced in your laboratory in order for it to have validity.

This “experimenting” with wisdom teachings is a form of play. You. have to play with the recipe to see if it works. If you keep trying to pound the truth into your life, it won’t work because the very pounding is what the truth is going to liberate you from. So you have to stop pounding, you have to stop trying with this serious concern. You have to play with truth in order for it to work. That’s what I do…and it works.

Someone gives you a new tool. Lets see if this works. You life doesn’t depend upon it….but it does.
