Lester In His Own Words

Thank you. Greetings and love to each and every one of you. I think the biggest surprise tonight was to me. I didn’t know I was going to talk until about ten minutes before eight this evening, when I was told I was going to be the surprise. So I began thinking, you know, what am I going to talk about? Talk about you? Or talk about me? And I realized, what’s the difference?

We are all in the very same boat, called life. We’re all doing, in my eyes, the exact same thing that I did. We are all looking for the summum bonum, the highest good, the ultimate place, the greatest happiness. And we’re about it all the time, struggling for it, struggling for it, looking for it, looking for it, wondering, “Where is it?”.

Well, back in 1952 I claimed I found the place. It’s right where I am. It’s right where you are. And all this looking for it everywhere, everyday, year in and year out, is such a waste of time. Why? It’s right where you are. We’re all here in this classroom called Earth, trying to discover something, the ultimate. And we’re all looking for it externally, where it isn’t! If we will only turn our direction back upon ourselves, we will discover it’s right here, where I am, where you are, right in your very own Beingness.
I say, “Are you?” You say, “Yes”. I say, “That’s it”. Do nothing else but that and you’ll be in the ultimate good and the ultimate state of happiness.

But why don’t you do it? You’re so habituated into looking for it over there, over here, in him, in her, in this job, and it never is there. So we’re all going through this same trip of trying to discover, “What is this all about? Where is my happiness?”. And when we stop chasing after it out there and we turn inward, we discover that all these hard, negative, terrible feelings are only a feeling, and that it is possible to get rid of these feelings, by releasing them. And all these feelings are subconscious programs, every bit of them put in as pro-survival. It’s not only fear that they say is fight-or-flight that is survival, all our feelings have been programmed-in to automatically keep us surviving. They keep us all the time looking out there, trying to survive; keep our mind active (subconsciously) 24 hours a day, so never for even one moment do we stop thinking and discover what we are.

If you could just stop your thinking for one moment, you will go through the most tremendous experience there is, that you are the totality of this universe, in your Beingness. That when your mind goes quiet, you automatically see, “I am the most terrific being there is in this universe. I am whole, complete, perfect. I always was, I am now, and I always will be.”

So what is it that keeps us from being in that most delectable state there is? Simply, the accumulated programs called “feelings”. All these negative feelings have us constantly struggling to survive, have us constantly looking away from this tremendous thing that we are. And all we need to do is to quiet that mind, and we become self-obvious to ourselves of this tremendous, loving being that we are.

How do we do it? I say it’s simple, the Release Technique. It happens to be the fastest, the most effective, way there is to achieve this high state of being: where we are in total control of our universe, where every moment is a wonderful, wonderful moment, where it is impossible to be unhappy. And I say that’s our natural state, when these negative feelings are released.

Someday you’re going to do it. You’re in the same boat, you’re struggling, you’re doing everything to achieve that happiness. But someday you’ll get it, because you will never stop until you get there. But, if you want to do it faster, try our way. I promise you, you’ll be very pleasantly surprised. Everything you’re looking for is right where you are. All you need to do is to take off the blinders. Your vision is very blurred. You’re looking through all these subconscious programs. When you release them, your vision becomes clear, you discover: you are the greatest. You’re whole, you’re complete, you’re eternal. All your fear of dying disappears. And life is so comfortable after that. And there’s no struggle, no struggle whatsoever, when you get these negative feelings up and out.

So I urge you to take this method, it’s a tool. In one week’s time there’ll be a big change in you for the better. And from there on, you will continue to get better and better and better, lighter and lighter, happier and happier.

And this thing called Love is your basic nature. All the Love there is in the universe is right in your basic nature. And you’ll discover that happiness, your happiness, equates to your capacity to love. And conversely, all your misery equates to your need to be loved. Just love, love, love, and you’ll be so happy, and healthy, and prosperous.

But again, you need to lift out these non-love feelings. So, again, I urge you to try our way. I promise you you’ll be very satisfied. Try it, you’ll like it.

Thank you so much for coming.
