So that if motivation is getting ahold
of an idea and taking this idea to its
logical conclusion and not letting
anything interfere with that that's
motivation and we say a motivated person
doesn't allow obstacles to show up in
their life and doesn't allow for anyone
to interfere with them and it's really
highly directed towards a particular
goal so motivation is getting a hold of
an idea and carrying it out and we want
to think of ourselves as motivated and I
think it comes from within if that's
what motivation is inspiration is the
exact opposite inspiration is when an
idea gets a hold of you and takes you
where you were originally intended to go
in the first place it's very different
than motivation the great playwright
Arthur Miller most of you had to read
one of his plays at one time or another
in high school or in college
definitely salesmen being of course one
of the most famous the crucible and so
on Arthur Miller was passed away
recently but he was 88 years old and he
had another play on Broadway at the age
of 88 and he was asked a question in an
interview in the New York Times are you
working on another play and his answer
really intrigued me he said then I don't
know but I probably am
now I think that there's a really very
astute observation and people ask me if
I'm working on another book I often say
the same thing I probably am that
there's something bigger there's
something that is greater in our lives
and when we connect to it we allow it to
take us where we were intended to go
when we signed up for this whole visit
in the first place called our
incarnations into being a human form for
this little parenthesis in eternity just
a little parenthesis and eternity I have
one of my very favorite observations of
this subject about inspiration from
story written about a man named Wolfgang
Amadeus what Mozart of course from an
essay where madness is like he's only
nurse it's gone it seems it would be
composer came to Mozart seeking his
advice how do I write symphony yeah
poster replied well you're young yet I
think you should begin by composing the
us the young man was greatly annoyed and
exclaimed but you were writing
symphonies when you're only nine years
old yeah Mozart responded but I didn't
ask anyone how to do it
now the writer of this essay goes on to
say that the most agonizing thing about
this little Mozart story is that Mozart
was not speaking from inflation but from
simple truthful modesty the reason
Mozart didn't have to ask anyone how to
write symphonies is that symphonies
presented themselves to him invented
enlarged produced all at once in what he
described as lively dreams dreams that
were so forceful that Mozart had to stop
doing what he was doing otherwise and
write out what he heard almost as if
something beyond Mozart's consciousness
desired these symphonies to be written
now that is very very powerful teaching
that these great symphonies that Mozart
wrote presented themselves to him and he
couldn't stop it do you know you don't
have to be a motor to be in spirit you
can you can find your calling by just
being willing to listen or just being
willing to be someone who knows that it
may not be in the writing of a of a
symphony that you're calling that you're
called to it could be anything it could
be the adoption of a child it could be
the creation of something that you've
known you wanted to write for your whole
life or to be opening up a business it
could be raising horses out in Montana
it could be anything that you are called
to do so that the awareness that I'm
asking you to look at is that there is
there is something that is calling you
and when an idea gets ahold of you you
get into this place of surrender well
you just you let go and the recovery
movement we've always called it - you
let go and what and your left side you
allow this great spirit to be something
that is you
in such a way that it becomes this thing
bigger than your life that propels you
into directions that you're willing to
listen to but you got to have you got to
change your awareness of yourself as
Maslow said and one of the ways that you
change your where where this of yourself
is to understand a very simple a very
simple premise think of an apple pie
here's an apple pie and this apple pie
you take this apple pie and you take a
slice of this apple pie and you put it
over here and then you walk over to the
slice and you say to the apple pie the
slice of apple pie what are you like
what have you like and the little slice
of apple pie says I must be like what I
came from you wouldn't expect it to be
pineapple you wouldn't expect it to be
cherry you would expect it to be like
what it came from right so why is it
that we understand this and yet we don't
understand that we too must be like what
we came from we must be we are we are
pieces of God we came from a divine
source we have to we have to trust in
our divinity we have to understand that
we are not this package of bones and
skin encapsulating you know these
internal organs but that's not who we
are that's what we call the false self
it's an illusion that who we really are
is what we came from and what we came
from is eternal it's infinite it's kind
it's unlimited
it is excludes no one so that if we
understand that we are really here as
spiritual beings just having a human
experience not the other way around
we're not human beings having a
spiritual experience it's the other way
around we our essence is our greatness
what we came from we must be like what
we
came from I've just taken up this new
practice
it's called yoga now I'm 65 years old
and I've decided that there are certain
things that I was told that I couldn't
do at earlier stages of my life that
I've decided I'm taking on I don't care
what my age is or what anybody else is
so what mrs. McConnell told me in the
sixth grade at Marquette elementary
school in Detroit that you don't have to
come to art class it's really not for
you you can go dribble basketballs maybe
but you don't want to come to our excuse
especially because he saw some of my
stick drawings
that's a I was pretty proud of and then
there was mr. Tubbs at Denby High School
in Detroit who when I turned in my first
drawing in drafting class I didn't know
drafting was I just saw find they threw
it they threw me in there just like for
the school was so overcrowded it was my
elective and I turned in my first
drawing and he asked me the question do
you have a little sister like in the
third grade because she perhaps is the
one that did this way that was my whole
view of my artistic ability I'm out
there painting now I'm doing painting
and I'm also doing yoga all right
and I've learned some things about
myself in in the process of doing this
like the last time I touched my forehead
to my ankles I think I was four months
old and I'm getting closer now I'm not
there all right but I'm getting a little
bit closer each time I do one of these
poses I find myself a little bit and
that I had a set a sort of a semi belief
that I couldn't touch my toes while
sitting up straight with my back
straight up and sitting down and touched
my toes without my knees bending and I
back straight up and sitting down and
touched my toes without my knees bending
and I kept each day going in there and
not being able to do that the knees were
up and the instructor said you can do
this and I said well it doesn't seem
like my body agrees with with that but
it would be and so he came over and he
said now I'm going to show you that you
really can do this now keep your back
straight and he took his foot and he
went like this down on my knees and my
knees went on and I was sitting up for
the first time I had ever been able to
do it was like a change in attitude a
shift a belief system that I no longer
was hanging on to and that's what we
have to do there's no it doesn't matter
what your age is it doesn't matter what
your beliefs have been it doesn't matter
what other people have tried to convince
you of in the past when you move into
spirit and having no way that I have the
capacity to be able to do this you leave
behind the false self and the false self
is really nothing more than this ego
look you came from a divine place a
divine place that is unlimited that says
you can be anything you put your
attention on and then you bought into a
whole series of beliefs that were handed
to you by very well-meaning people
attempting to convince you that you had
limitations that you couldn't through
this that this wasn't possible and I'd
like to suggest to you that you took on
something called an ego e.g Oh an ego
you came in from divinity you came in
from a place of unlimited you show up
and you
edged God out e.g oh and when you edge
got out it doesn't mean that you're
sacrilegious it doesn't mean that you're
not a moral person it means that you
think on a belief system that says Who I
am is no longer this infinite divine
being who can step outside and observe
this body and believe that it can make
it do whatever I put my attention on and
use it to have the same powers that is
spoken about him in the New Testament
even the least among you can do all that
I have done and even greater things it's
isn't within each and every one of us
except that we bought into an idea that
who we are is what we have who we are is
what we do
who we are is what other people think I
am Who I am
is separate from everybody else Who I am
is separate from what I would like to
attract into my life and who I am is
separate from my source and we believe
in this separation and we believe in
this identity that Who I am is what I
have so we start accumulating we
accumulate and accumulate and accumulate
the problem is that when you stop
accumulating in s who you are is what
you accumulate then you have no value as
soon as your things start to disappear
as soon as they wear out as soon as
somebody else takes them as soon as the
government taxes them as soon as any
number of things who I am is what I do
if you no longer can do then you aren't
you no longer exist
Who I am is my reputation and we raise
our children often to believe that
what's most important is what other
people think of you fit in do what do
what you've been told to do do what the
crowd does follow the herd and you know
what happens what you step in when you
follow the herd
