Hi, for the next few minutes I'd like to tell you a little story, it's a story about a young

father who's searching for some real answers for his family about the purpose of life.

Now, whether or not the answers he finds are real or pretend like C. Rihanna stage, well

that's really up to you to decide.

You've kind of proposed, and again we may be wrong here, but it's the one thing that's

actually felt right to me about the nature of reality that we don't see it as it actually

is.

In other words, we don't see truth, we see a graphical user interface that is a series

of icons that are tuned to keep us alive and reproducing, but not tuned to show us the

truth.

And the underlying truth that is there may be much more interesting than we think.

And this Mormon, weird Mormon story that we've created over the ages and that we're

continuing now in whatever phase it is, it's a story I wanted to keep living out, but

it was very much about constructing my own reality in a way.

It helps me get over things faster, or at least this is what I've been learning and

experiencing the past maybe three years.

I go through something difficult and then I'm like, oh, I'm just supposed to feel the

feels.

I'm supposed to take the lesson, and then I'm supposed to let it move through me and so

many people let that energy get stuck, stuck.

This is infants on thrones, baby steps, the philosophies of men, mingled with humor.

I don't believe them, but many willing to preach to you the philosophies of men mingled
