Anthony DeMelo

First of let me say I LOVE YOUTUBE! Anthony De Mello is one of my favorite authors and I have gained a lot from reading his books. I happened to come across of a video of him on YouTube! I love that someone who passed away years ago can come to life with very minimal effort on my part.

Anyway, this talk is great if you have about a half hour it is definitely worth it. One of the key points that comes out of it is it is not the events of our life that make us sad or depressed it is how we take them in. It is our perception of the disturbance that makes the difference. I love that! Of course he says it much more eloquently. This is a gem of a video.

Listen to it with an open ear. At the end there is an older gentleman gets up and asks him an obvious question. Poor man he has been so conditioned by life that he cannot even see Fr. De Mello's message staring him in the face! I pray that none of us we become so conditioned....ENJOY!
