THE WAY OUT
     Spiritually accurate facts are friendly forces. They are the only friendly forces we have. They’re here to help us, guide us, not to hurt us. Now, I bring this up because of the very touchy explosive topic that we’re going to go into. I put that statement at the start of the talk so that it can be your sword and shield of righteousness which will work against any unseen tendencies to resist the friendly forces.
     But just for now, suppose you’re in a very deep and miserable dungeon. A prisoner down there, and you knew that there was just one way to get out of the horrible cell that you found yourself in.
     There is one way, very clearly. You got knowledge of that while suffering in the cold, in the dark and the isolation. You know there’s one way out.
    However, you heard so many scary stories about the one way out that you hesitated for a long, long time before giving it a try to make your way to freedom. That there were mazes, puzzles that you had to pass through in order to keep on the right trail, so that you’d get discouraged to try to make your way back.
     Now, with that picture in mind, remember this. There is only one way out of life’s misery, out of the mental and psychological prison cell that we find ourselves in. Only this single trail out, and you either take it and go past all the obstacles, and find your way to sunlight and freedom, or you don’t. That’s the summary of every human life on earth. They either go through it and make it out, or they refuse to go through it, and so stay suffering.
     The one way out. The only way out is the recognition and the release of egotism.

ONLY ONE THING WORKS
     Nothing works. No more living inside a shack, calling it a castle. You never will make it on your own. Presently the world is too much for you, but you’re beginning to see that nothing works. God provided a way out and you’re hearing it here. Only one thing works. That one thing is outside this world.
