1:31:01
And so time is actually just
this constant saying no...
1:31:04
to God's invitation.
1:31:06
That's what time is. It's no more
50 A.D. than it's 2001, you know?
1:31:11
There's just this one instant,
and that's what we're always in.
1:31:14
And then she tells me that actually this
is the narrative of everyone's life.
1:31:19
That behind the phenomenal difference,
there is but one story,
1:31:23
and that's the story of moving
from the "no" to the "yes."
1:31:27
All of life is,
" No, thank you. No, thank you."
1:31:30
Then ultimately it's,
"Yes, I give in.
1:31:32
Yes, I accept.
Yes, I embrace."
1:31:35
I mean, that's the journey.
1:31:37
- Everyone gets to the "yes"
in the end, right?
- Right.
1:31:42
So we continue walking,
and my dog runs over to me.
1:31:46
So I'm petting him. I'm really happy
to see him. He's been dead forbears.
1:31:49
So I'm petting him
and then I realize...
1:31:51
there's this kind of gross oozing stuff
coming out of his stomach.
1:31:56
And I look over at Lady Gregory,
and she sort of coughs.
1:31:59
She's like--
"Oh, excuse me."
1:32:01
And there's vomit dribbling down
her chin, and it smells really bad.
1:32:05
And I think,
"Wait a second.
1:32:08
"That's not just the smell of vomit,
which doesn't smell very good.
1:32:11
"That's the smell
of dead person vomit.
1:32:14
You know,
it's, like, doubly foul."
1:32:16
And then I realize I'm actually in,
you know, the land of the dead.
1:32:20
And everyone
around me was dead.
1:32:22
My dog had been dead over ten years.
Lady Gregory had been longer than that.
1:32:26
When I finally woke up, I was like,
"Whoa. That wasn't a dream."
1:32:30
That was a visitation to this
real place, the land of the dead."
1:32:34
- So what happened? How did you
finally get out of it?
- Oh, man.
1:32:38
It was just like one of those,
like, life-altering experiences.
1:32:42
I could never really look at the world
the same way again after that.
1:32:45
Yeah, but how did you
finally get out of the dream?
1:32:49
See, that's my problem.
I'm trapped.
1:32:51
I keep-- I keep thinking that I'm
waking up, but I'm still in a dream.
1:32:54
It seems like it's going on forever.
I can't get out of it.
1:32:57
I wanna wake up for real.
How do you really wake up?
1:32:59
I don't know.
I'm not very good at that anymore.
