Nothing Left To Do But Smile.

Things Come Up From The Outside, The Outside World Says, Okay, You Have Do This, You Have To Go Here And Here And Here, And These Are Your Options. You Can Be Here Or You Can Be Here. You Can Do This, Or You Can Do This. You Can Go Here, Or You Can Go There. So Each One Of Those Things Becomes A Place Of Decision, And The Way We Make Decisions Is That We All Get Together And If Somebody Doesn't Feel Right About It Or It Doesn't Seem To Sit Right, Usually We'll Go With The No Vote. If Somebody's Not Comfortable With It, We'll Figure It's Not Going To Be Worth Doing.

The Reality Which Is Pretending Be Reality Right Now, Impersonating Reality, Is Just A Pretty Flimsy Structure. There Is Not A Lot Of Substance To It. You Can't Find People Who Are Actively Involved Of Affected By It. What You See Is A Completely Different World, What You See Is The World Of The Homeless, And So Forth.

What We're Thinking About Is A Peaceful Planet. We're Not Thinking About Anything Else. We're Not Thinking About Any Kind Of Power. We're Not Thinking About Any Kind Of Struggles. We're Not Thinking About Revolution Or War Or Any Of That. That's Not What We Want. Nobody Wants To Get Hurt. Nobody Wants To Hurt Anybody. We Would All Like To Be Able To Live An Uncluttered Life. A Simple Life, A Good Life. And Think About Moving The Whole Human Race Ahead A Step, Or A Few Steps.
