The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go
on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And
the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills
and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a
while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to
question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have
remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't
be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." 

 And we... kill those people. 

 Ha ha

 "Shut him up." 

 "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up.  Look at my furrows of
worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be
real." 

 Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that,
you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter
because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want.  It's
only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice,
right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger
locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love,
instead, see all of us as one.  Here's what we can do to change the world,
right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons
and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and
educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one
human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and
outer, forever, in peace. 

 Thank you very much, you've been great.
