1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,559
Speaker 1: The original simplicity. Life is simple, being is simple, The

2
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:12,960
universe is simple. Complexity arises in ignorance and self delusion.

3
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:18,879
The quote original simplicity of Loyltz is a term expressive

4
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,920
of the universe as it is and not as it appears.

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,679
Looking through the woven network of his own illusions, man

6
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,560
sees interminable complications and unfathomable mystery, and so loses himself

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,880
in the labyrinths of his own making. Let a man

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,119
put away egotism, and he will see the universe in

9
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,600
all the beauty of its pristine simplicity. Let him annihilate

10
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:48,240
the delusion of the personal pronoun i, and he will

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,679
destroy all the illusions which spring from that eye. He

12
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,000
will thus re become a little child, and will revert

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,520
to original simplicity. A man succeeds in entirely forgetting annihilating

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,120
his personal self. He becomes a mirror in which the

15
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:12,799
universal reality is faultlessly reflected. He has awakened, and henceforth

16
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,319
he lives not in dreams but in realities. Pythagoras saw

17
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,359
the universe in the ten numbers. But even this simplicity

18
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:26,280
may be further reduced, and the universe ultimately be found

19
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:29,760
to be contained in the number one. For all the

20
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:34,599
numerals and all their infinite complications, are but additions of

21
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,040
the one. Let life cease to be lived as a

22
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680
fragmentary thing, and let it be lived as a perfect whole.

23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,519
The simplicity of the perfect will then be revealed. How

24
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:50,280
shall the fragment comprehend the whole? Yet how simple that

25
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:54,959
the whole should comprehend the fragment. How shall sin perceive holiness?

26
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:59,719
Yet how plain that holiness should understand sin. He who

27
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:04,000
would become the greater, let him abandon the lesser. In

28
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,359
no form is the circle contained, but in the circle

29
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,719
all forms are contained. In no color is the radiant

30
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:16,319
light imprisoned, But in the radiant light all colors are embodied.

31
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,639
Let a man destroy all the forms of self, and

32
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:25,159
he shall apprehend the circle of perfection. Let him submerge

33
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,319
in the silent depths of his being, the varying colors

34
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,599
of his thoughts and desires, and he shall be illuminated

35
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,560
with the white light of divine knowledge. In the perfect

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,360
chord of music, the single note, though forgotten, is indispensably contained,

37
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:45,680
and the drop of water becomes of supreme usefulness by

38
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:50,159
losing itself in the ocean. Sink yourself compassionately in the

39
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,120
heart of humanity, and you will reproduce the harmonies of heaven.

40
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,680
Lose yourself in unlimited love toward all, and you will

41
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,400
work enduring works, and shall become one with the eternal

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,240
ocean of bliss. Man evolves outward to the periphery of complexity,

43
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,960
and then devolves backward to the central simplicity. When a

44
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,520
man discovers that it is mathematically impossible for him to

45
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,800
know the universe before knowing himself, then he starts upon

46
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,719
the way which leads to the original simplicity. He begins

47
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,000
to unfold from within, and as he unfolds himself, he

48
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,199
enfolds the universe. Cease to speculate about God and find

49
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,759
the all embracing good within you. Then you shall see

50
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,919
the emptiness and vanity of speculation, knowing yourself one with God.

51
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,680
He who will not give up his secret lust, his covetousness,

52
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:52,639
his anger, his opinion about this or that, can see

53
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,840
nor know nothing, He will remain a dullard in the

54
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,639
school of wisdom, though he be accounted learned in the colleges.

55
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:03,560
If a man would find the key of knowledge. Let

56
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,759
him find himself. Your sins are not yourself. They are

57
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,240
not any part of yourself. They are diseases which you

58
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,719
have come to love. Cease to cling to them, and

59
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:18,519
they will no longer cling to you. Let them fall away,

60
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,639
and yourself shall stand revealed. You shall then know yourself

61
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,800
as comprehensive vision, invincible principle, immortal life, and eternal good.

62
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,879
The impure man believes impurity to be his rightful condition,

63
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,959
but the pure man knows himself as pure being. He also,

64
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:46,000
penetrating the veils, sees all others as pure being. Purity

65
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,639
is extremely simple and needs no argument to support it.

66
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:55,800
Impurity is interminably complex and is ever involved in defensive argument.

67
00:04:57,079 --> 00:05:01,439
Truth lives itself a blame. Tameless life is the only

68
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,639
witness of truth. Men cannot see and will not accept

69
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,639
the witness until they find it within themselves, and having

70
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,199
found it, a man becomes silent before his fellows. Truth

71
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,000
is so simple that it cannot be found in the

72
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,360
region of argument and advertisement, and so silent that it

73
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:26,519
is only manifested in actions. So extremely simple is original

74
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,920
simplicity that a man must let go his hold of

75
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,560
everything before he can perceive it. The great arch is

76
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,319
strong by virtue of the hollowness underneath, and a wise

77
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:46,279
man becomes strong and invincible by emptying himself. Meekness, patience, love, compassion,

78
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:51,199
and wisdom. These are the dominant qualities of original simplicity.

79
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:57,399
Therefore the imperfect cannot understand it. Wisdom only can apprehend wisdom.

80
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,920
Therefore the fool says, no man is wise. The imperfect

81
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,480
man says, no man can be perfect, and he therefore

82
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:08,959
remains where he is. Though he live with a perfect

83
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,560
man all his life, he shall not behold his perfection.

84
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:18,040
Meekness he will call cowardice, patience, love, and compassion. He

85
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:21,560
will see his weakness, and wisdom will appear to him

86
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:27,000
as folly. Faultless. Discrimination belongs to the perfect whole and

87
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,399
resides not in any part. Therefore, men are exhorted to

88
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:37,000
refrain from judgment until they have themselves manifested the perfect life.

89
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:43,680
Arriving at original simplicity, opacity disappears, and the universal transparency

90
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,279
becomes apparent. He who has found the indwelling reality of

91
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,560
his own being has found the original and universal reality.

92
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,560
Knowing the divine heart within all hearts are known, and

93
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,800
the thoughts of all men become his, who has become

94
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,560
the master of his own thoughts. Therefore, the good man

95
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:08,120
does not defend himself, but molds the minds of others

96
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,639
to his own likeness. As the problematical transcends crudity, so

97
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,600
pure goodness transcends the problematical. All problems vanish when pure

98
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,360
goodness is reached. Therefore the good man is called the

99
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,519
slayer of illusions? What problem can vex where sin is not?

100
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,079
O you, who would strive loudly and rest, not retire

101
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,319
into the holy silence of your own being and live

102
00:07:37,439 --> 00:07:42,519
therefrom So shall you, finding pure goodness, rend in twain

103
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,639
the veil of the temple of illusion, and shall enter

104
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,480
into the patience, peace, and transcendent glory of the perfect.

105
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,439
For pure goodness and original simplicity are one
