Speaker 0 (0s): Hello, my friends, ladies, gentlemen, my brothers and sisters, my nieces and my nephews and my aunts and uncles. Thank you for taking a moment to hang out for a minute. Salvation. It's a pretty big concept. Isn't it? It's something that if you just take a few minutes to think about it can be totally mind blowing. It can be mind numbing. It can be something that you could think about for hours on end.
There's a lot of different ways to describe it. There's a lot of different ways to think about it. The older you get, I believe the more time you spend trying to define this crazy concept we call Salvation. What do you think about when I say the word salvation? When you close your eyes, do you see streaks of light? Is that your salvation? How about music? Do you find Salvation and music? Maybe you find salvation in the kind words whispered by your lover.
Maybe you find Salvation in the eyes of your children. Maybe you find it in a moment of quietness. If one finds it somewhere different, Salvation speaks to all of us. And there's plenty of definitions. I'm working on a new book and I'm thinking about this particular concept and how it fits in. How, how is it that people will identify with Salvation?
What can I say to you to make you think of salvation? So I've got a little passage right here. I want to share with you. I'm kind of working out some materials. Let me see what you think. Salvation only after you have had an intimate, passionate relationship with death. Can you awaken to your own ideas? The realization that everything is your creation. I've seen it Salvation.
I've seen it a few times. It's fleeting, just a passing glance. Once was when I was young at salvation mountain. For those of you that don't know in California, there's a place called salvation mountain. It seems like the furthest thing from Salvation. It's way out in the desert, close to Arizona in a place called slab city. One of the last free places on earth.
Think of scorching desert with nothing, not even CAC. This really just pure dirt. A man in the sixties moved out there. He had a vision. He had a dream and it's when you look
Speaker 1 (2m 59s): Salvation mountain, if you Google salvation mountain, you'll see this area that looks like nothing in this big mound of dirt that doesn't really look like a mountain. However, it's a pretty unbelievable story about a man that moved out of the desert and started building a mountain. It reminds me of the literature in, I believe it's Mohammed.
That has a quote that says, if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then Mohammed must go to the mountain. This guy built a mountain with all kinds of paint and debris. He turned, he made a mountain. It's pretty fascinating to look at and think about it.
