And that's all I got to do. 00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.200 So 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.680 do you think God created everything? 00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:00.120 Do you think evolution created everything? 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.640 We can never know ever. You may not believe. 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.440 I know, I know you can know within that, Mario. 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.000 I know you don't know. Yeah. 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.800 Can I say we can never know? 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.480 That's limiting your knowledge 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:17.000 to everything about how amazing life is. 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.240 I mean, look at the blueness of the sky and the sun. 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:20.280 Everything about the sun. 00:01:20.410 --> 00:01:22.360 How incredible is how incredible it is. 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.080 It's 93 million miles away and it's just warm enough to write me. 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:27.160 It made us any closer. 00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:28.320 We're all dead further away. 00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:29.800 We're all dead. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.320 If I think about how amazing that is, I do. 00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:33.600 How did they get there? 00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:35.280 I had to learn it myself. 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.000 I had to go within 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:38.800 and nobody can teach it for you. 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.080 You have to go in and you can unlock the secrets to the universe. 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.360 If your loyalty lies in the love for yourself, that's it. 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.000 Love yourself. I do love God. 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.120 I love God. 00:01:51.320 --> 00:01:54.600 But in my mind, God is the entire universe. 00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:58.160 So I left the entire cold pantheism 00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:00.200 spring, the painter and the painting. 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.640 You don't love the painting. 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.720 You love the painter because he's the genius that created the painting. 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.480 And so if you love creation, 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.960 you're setting your affection on the creation rather than the creator. 00:02:10.160 --> 00:02:13.520 And that's called inordinate affection Sorona of affections. 00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:16.920 If your mom gave you a gift and you love the gift more than you love your mother, 00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:18.600 there's something wrong you should be saying. 00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:20.040 Hey, Mom, thanks for this car. 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.240 I'm grateful to you, not to the car. 00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:26.040 Grateful to you for the gift. 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:27.920 Makes sense. 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.120 I personally know who I am and why I'm here. 00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:34.360 I found my purpose from within. 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.640 I know that to be true. 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:39.760 I've never lost that my entire life I've been the same person. 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:41.440 You need love. 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:43.960 You can't be a man without love. 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:48.320 You have to separate yourself from love in order to find that for yourself. 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.560 Nobody else can do it for you. That's the point. 00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:52.720 You trust yourself? I do. 00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:55.400 How many?
