Love Interlude
It's one of the great wonders of life
What will it be like to go to sleep and never wake up
And if you think long enough about that, something will happen to you
You will find out, among other things, that it will pose the next question to you
What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep
That was when you were born
You can't have an experience of nothing, nature to pause a vacuum
So after you're dead, the only thing that can happen is the same experience, or the
same sort of experience, as when you were born
In other words, we all know very well that after people die, other people are born
And they're all you
Only you can only experience it one at a time
Everybody is I
You all know you are you
And wheresoever beings exist throughout all galaxies, it doesn't make any difference
You are all of them
And when they come into being, that's you coming into being
You know that very well
Really you don't have to remember the past, in the same way you don't have to think about
how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism
You don't have to know how to shine the sun
You just do it
Like you breathe
Isn't it
Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing
And that you're doing all of this and you never had any education in how to do it
You never learned
But you're this miracle
Well the point is that from a strictly physical, scientific standpoint, this organism is a
continuous energy with everything else that's going on
And if I am my foot, I am the sun
I am the sun
I am the sun
What will it be like to go to sleep and never wake up
And if you think long enough about that, something will happen to you
You will find out, among other things, that it will pose the next question to you
What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep
That was when you were born
You can't have an experience of nothing, nature to pause a vacuum
So after you're dead, the only thing that can happen is the same experience, or the
same sort of experience, as when you were born
In other words, we all know very well that after people die, other people are born
And they're all you
Only you can only experience it one at a time
Everybody is I
You all know you are you
And wheresoever beings exist throughout all galaxies, it doesn't make any difference
You are all of them
And when they come into being, that's you coming into being
You know that very well
Really you don't have to remember the past, in the same way you don't have to think about
how you work your thyroid gland, or whatever else it is in your organism
You don't have to know how to shine the sun
You just do it
Like you breathe

Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing
And that you're doing all of this and you never had any education in how to do it
You never learned
But you're this miracle
Well the point is that from a strictly physical, scientific standpoint, this organism is a
continuous energy with everything else that's going on
And if I am my foot, I am the sun
I am the sun
I am the sun
