I'm going to tell you a secret


I’m going to tell you a Secret


It’s really hard not to be nervous, but like the Rabbi said to me last night, I said “Oh but there’s going to be thousands of people there tonight, I hope I don’t get nervous.” He said, “You won’t get nervous because they’re not thousands of people, they’re thousands of lights. If you think of them that way, you won’t get nervous.”

Light is fearlessness…light is compassion…light is all giving and it’s immortality. It’s a place where there’s no chaos, no pain and no suffering. Light is the laws of the Universe, you can do things to connect to it and you can do things to disconnect from it. That’s what I say I fear. Disconnecting. (don’t want to disconnect)

What’s the difference between a pop star and a terrorist?
You can negotiate with a terrorist.

I just want you to go out there and do your best. I want to inspire people to be better versions of the people they are already. Let’s shine like the brightest lights.

Not pissing people off, waking people up.

I’ve always thought my job was to wake people up. But…it’s not enough to want to wake people up, you gotta wake people up and give them a direction. You gotta wake people up and give them tools about how to deal with life. You gotta wake people up and give them solutions, otherwise, they’re gonna fall back to sleep again.

I’ve had so many lives since I was a child
And I’ve realized how many times I’ve died.
I’m not that kind of guy, sometimes I feel shy,
I think I can fly closer to the sky.
No one’s telling you how to live your life, but it’s a set-up, until you’re fed up.
This world is not so kind. People trap your mind. It’s so hard to find someone to admire.
I sleep much better at night, I feel closer to the light. Now I’m gonna try to improve my life.
No one’s telling you how to live your life, but it’s a set-up, until you’re fed up.
It’s not good when you’re misunderstood, but why should I care what the world thinks of me,
won’t let a stranger give me a social disease.
I sleep much better at night. I feel much closer to the light. Now I’m gonna try to improve my life.
No body, no body, no body knows me! It’s no fun, but the damage’s done. Don’t want your social disease.
Like you know me, no body knows me.


I have a cage, it’s called the stage.
When I’m let out, I run about.
And sing and dance and sweat and yell.
I have so many tales to tell.

I like to push things to the edge
And inch my way along the ledge.
I feel like God, I feel like shit.
An even paradox, along the split.

It’s just a job, I always say.
I should be grateful, every day.
Sometimes I think I just can’t do it.
But I persist, and I get through it.

And I console myself each night,
at least my cage is filled with light.
--
God, please take me from untruth to internal truth
From deep darkness to eternal light.
From great death, take me to your sweet nectar.
Lord, please protect and defend us as we do your work.
Let our knowledge shine and be divine to the world.
Let us never fight each other, be envious of each other
Let us be united together forever.

Kabballah means “learning how to receive”
…every action that you do, every thought that you inject, every energy that you release has a consequence, and when you understand this you realize “I would like to choose those thoughts, those behaviors, or those certain ways of thinking that will plant seeds to create blessings, positive things, instead of chaos and negativity.


To the people that fuck us over, hurt our feelings… it’s an extraordinary thing, to be able to forgive them, and wish them well. Not just forgive them, but to wish them well.

--
I hope you go out into the world when this tour ends and you are more compassionate to other human beings and are more responsible for your actions and your words, for without those two things, your talents mean nothing.


Okay, so I have a huge ego and I need to do something about it.
I need to change.
and how can I change
the only way I can change is if I constantly work at it
knowing is the beginning
knowing more and learning more
and achieving more.
the minute you stop wanting to know more, that’s the minute you stop growing.
and that’s when you die, and that’s when you’re nothing.


Spirituality is what will save the world, not politics. Politics is too touch and go.

by Madonna
