Made a few statements about restriction. And I'd like to know if you're saying that a man who, let's say, makes a million dollars a month should say, I really don't want to make that million dollars a month. If it means that much to you, then I'll take the money, provided that I give, let's say, 10% away for charity. Am I allowed then to take as much as they give me if I decide that so much of it is going to be given to my favorite charity, my tax-deductible charity? Is that considered restriction? And therefore am I allowed to consume whatever it is that I want to consume?

SPEAKER_00

Is that uh that question? Restriction means what it means. You are never to be satisfied, even at the end, that, well, because I've restricted, now I can receive no. You're to be totally ill at ease with the continuous input, with the continuous flowing in of this enormous wealth, and say, no, I'm gonna restrict, I don't want it, I don't want it. By virtue of continuing to say I don't want it, it's like it's like a a a pipe, you know, a pipe that water is passing through. You see, if you don't stop it at the end, but you let it pass through, oh, you might have missed the water along the way. I mean, that which you you tasted is now gone. But you, by virtue of it passing on and being shared by others, there is going to be a continuous flow, and you keep saying, but I don't want that continuous flow, and I'm gonna give it away, and you know what happens? It keeps flowing in. You keep shoving the water out, the water keeps coming in. So each time, while you, in essence, have declared that I don't want it, by virtue of saying I don't want it, you continue to get it. This is a concept very subtle, but it is the one unifying thought intelligence, both for the cosmic effect affecting the all of the universes, and that microcosm, the little cosmos that we all represent. But the Cabalus assures us that a content individual is one who has achieved an altered state of consciousness, and the only way you can achieve an altered state of consciousness is by virtue of a true thought intelligence of restriction. Thank you.
