To choose freedom is like this: Choose God’s Way. It’s better for you. But if you want to choose the other way, there will be trouble. And then, in the end, you will have to return to this way anyhow. It’s just longer, more trouble. So, you might as well just choose God’s Will in the beginning. God doesn’t stop you if you choose the opposite direction. It’s just that it takes you longer, makes you suffer. At the end, you will have to surrender, go back, and it’s far. That’s it. So there’s no free will, believe me. Believe me. No free will. […]
God’s Will is like this: Whatever you do, you do it in Hiers Name. Whatever you do, you do it because you have to do it. And the outcome depends. And then you surrender the outcome. You surrender even the action to God’s Will, because you can’t help it, you have to do it. Like you have to go to work, earn money. You have to breathe to live. OK, fine. But free will is that, you can also reject it. But then the consequence will be the same.
There’s a joke like: An American goes to Russia, and they cannot say anything against the government of Russia, at that time. It’s still under the communists. And the American complains and says, “What? In America, we’re free. We can criticize the American government any time we want.” So the Russian also says, “Yes. Here we’re also free to criticize the American government anytime we want.”
And there’s another bad joke, it’s about communism and capitalism, the “free world.” The free world people criticized the communists, like, “You don’t have freedom. You can’t say anything you want, and the government just never listens to you. But in our free world, we can say anything we want.” And the communist people said, “Yes. In our country, you cannot say anything you want, because the government doesn’t listen. In your country, you can say anything you want, but the government also doesn’t listen.” That’s the same, almost.
The thing is, people say, “How do I surrender to God’s Will? Or should I use my free will?” Because God says we have free will. Free will is to know what’s right and what’s wrong. To choose it. To choose freedom is like this: Choose God’s Way. It’s better for you. But if you want to choose the other way, there will be trouble. And then, in the end, you will have to return to this way anyhow. It’s just longer, more trouble. So, you might as well just choose God’s Will in the beginning. God doesn’t stop you if you choose the opposite direction. It’s just that it takes you longer, makes you suffer. At the end, you will have to surrender, go back, and it’s far. That’s it. So there’s no free will, believe me. Believe me. No free will.
There is a free will, of course: before you come here, you choose. You said, “OK. I’m going to serve God. I’m going to experiment the opposite of God, so that I might know God.” Just like I want to have the night so that I recognize the daytime. Things like that. But then at the end, you recognize the daytime anyhow. You go back to the daytime. You choose the darkness, so that you know the light. So that’s the free will. The free will to exercise what you want to exercise, in order to go back to the Light the way you want it. So might just as well go now. If you have a lot of time, and you have a lot of energy, and you want to hang around and mess about, then choose the opposite direction. God doesn’t say anything. But I don’t think there’s a free will. Because in the end, we will have to return to where we were, anyhow. So what kind of free will is that? Just like the leash of the dog(-person), only longer or shorter. Right? Longer or shorter. Yeah.
Next one. (Before I go to sleep, I do my 10 to 30 minutes meditation sitting up, then I lie down and go to sleep. In my sleep, I can see myself sleeping.) Yes. (And beings come into my bed, and actually push down on my body.) Who pushes? (I don’t know. Beings.) Beings. Pushing your body, and then? (I can see this happening, and then I can see myself trying to wake up. And then what I did was repeat the Five [Holy] Names. And then it went away, but sometimes it keeps coming back. And even females come in and things like this.)
Always happening? Repeating the same thing? (It stopped about two months ago, but then it keeps coming back, and I was wondering if there is a reason for this? This not only happened after initiation. This used to happen when I was young as well. Where I could see myself... and look down.) Yeah. And go out of the body? (Yes. And sometimes even someone crawling up the stairs, grabbed me by the throat and I’d wake up with my hands around my own throat.) But they don’t do anything to you? Just wake you up? Touch you? Did they try to harm you? (Yes.) They did? (Well, it was as if I could feel everything and see everything.) Maybe a nightmare? (Could be.) Because you’re still alive. (Yes. This is true.) Your body is still there, I can see it. (Yes.) It says “Sydney” on it. Don’t worry about it. (OK.) You believe in God. God is more powerful than any being. And should that being be good, then it’s fine. If he’s bad, he cannot be more powerful than God. Don’t worry about it. You are god. (Thank You.)
Next one. Sorry, just accents are sometimes difficult for me, and you speak too softly. Next one! No, huh? Then we move in. Last one. Then we move in there. Meditate together and then… Because it’s getting dark here, and we don’t have any light. And we can’t work. (Master, last retreat, the England retreat, You asked for me to see You after meditation, because I wasn’t improving in meditation,) Yeah, and you forgot. (but we missed each other, because I was with the working team.) And now you are here. (Yes.) It’s good enough. You sit right here, that should be enough. You improved? (No. Still the same.) Really? I can’t help you. All this time, and you still didn’t work on it. That means you don’t concentrate enough. You are not sincere enough. During all this time, even if you couldn’t see me, if you longed enough, you should have improved. But I think you improved, you just want something more. (OK. Thank You.)
It’s alright. I let you off. OK, let’s move. I mean you can go quickly to wash yourself. Spare that. Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it. You can refresh yourself a little and go to the bathroom or whatever. And grab some food, then go to group meditation. If you came a little bit late, it’s alright, because you are late. But don’t be too late. Don’t be later than half past six because people will start to meditate at seven (o’clock). Right? It’s six (o’clock) already, but they’re listening to tapes or something, right now. So it’s probably OK. And I will join later. Alright? (OK.) Sure! (Thank You, Master. Thank You.) You’re welcome!
Of course, there are more questions in your head; they’re all garbage. Even if you never ask me any questions at all, you’ll be alright, if you just meditate. Right? (Yes.) In the old times, when the Buddhas or Jesus were alive, was very difficult to get the teaching. You see? Jesus had only that book – the New Testament. Yeah. And He has a lot of followers. And sometimes it benefited their lives, because they had faith. And His disciples were also changing the world. So there’s no need to talk much. Besides I talk enough. But it’s nice to see each other, and then exchange conversation. That makes you feel more close, more confident of each other and more close to each other; and then probably, like this, your faith will grow better and you trust me more, trust yourself, your choice, more. That’s all there is. Otherwise, anytime you have a question or problem, you write it down, and then the answer will come. Everybody has this experience, don’t you? (Yes.) Yeah. Right. How many? Raise your hand! You never write. Oh, you did? Good! See, continue!
I told you the Master is in you. After the initiation, the Master’s always there. Even when you sleep, you’re unconscious, the Master is always awake. Anytime you have a problem, question, you can write it down. Because when you write it down, it’s clearer, for yourself. And the Master in you, answers you, you’ll feel better. Because when you write it down, you know what you want. You can’t just write anything. When you talk, you talk nonsense, maybe. When you write it down, you have to think, you phrase your question, and it becomes clearer to you. And once the question is clear, the answer will be clear. That’s the logic. OK?
So I’ll see you soon, after this. This place is only for the daytime; it’s cool. I utilize the time of your resting to see people. It’s more or less individual groups like this. It’s closer, so you can see me better and ask more individual questions. But night time, we better be inside, in case it might rain or… We don’t have electricity. Can’t take pictures or anything, anyhow; I mean photos or videos. See you. (Thank You.) No problem. You understand everything I say. Right? (Yes.) Yeah. You understand even before you came. You just want to make trouble.
OK? Hong Kong. Where are you, people from Hong Kong? (They’re some over there too.) OK. If I want to go to Hong Kong now, do I still need a visa? Is it required for British nationals? (No need. No need.) Is it the same as before? (The same. The same.) Ah, wonderful. Good. (Good.) I thought I didn’t have my house in Hong Kong anymore, but I still do. (Yes.) Maybe if they behave themselves, I’ll come. Sometime. OK. See you! Is it OK now? You have seen me. See you later inside. Go eat. Refresh yourself. You’re skinny! You lost weight? How’s your husband? You look good! So why again? I don’t know what’s wrong with you. Something’s going on. Yeah. Hallo, how’s everyone? OK. Happy to see you. All of you. Happy to see you. Hallo. (Thank You, Master.) OK. Master is so beautiful. Master is so beautiful. Master, You’re so beautiful. I’m trying to speak Cantonese, and that’s why they laugh. Because it sounds like Greek. Beautiful, huh? So beautiful, huh? OK. That’s it. That’s it. See? I have to be careful where I’m going. Sorry. I’m just walking around. OK. Don’t worry. Thank you. OK, bye! (Bye!) (Bye-bye.)
