Jim Carrey On The Power Of Intention

- Speaker A tells the audience that it's our intention to accomplish everything. Then Speaker A thinks about his life and how he tried to relieve his mother's suffering. He feels incredibly lucky to be a part of this community and to do something of value. - Speaker A wants to speak to the person in the last row, in the very last seat against the wall. Andrea tells Speaker A that she is the Super Bowl Mandez and she is one of the creators of this evening.

Speaker A: It's our intention. Our intention is everything. Nothing happens on this planet without it. Not one single thing has ever been accomplished without intention. So I started thinking about my life, and I started thinking about this conference and what we're about. And I looked back, and I thought, well, I was two people my whole life in the living room, entertaining people, being a monkey, doing my thing for the company, and trying to relieve my mother, who was suffering. She had rheumatoid arthritis and phlebitis and everything under the sun that was nagging at her. And she was depressed. And I wanted her to be free, and I wanted her to realize that her life was worth something because she gave birth to someone who was worth something. And then I would go into my room, and I would sit with a legal pad. I was a little kid, and I would sit there, and I would try to figure out what it meant, what it was all about. Why are we here? What is this? And one day, I read something from Buddha that said that all spirituality is about relieving suffering. And I suddenly realized that's what I'm doing in the other room, and I'm aligned. You know this. My purpose is aligned with this. So I felt incredibly lucky. I lose sight of that all the time. I get caught up in different concerns and ego concerns, but I'm so lucky to be a part of this community and to do something that is of value, and I really cherish that. And we are all one thing. It really is true. Can I speak to the person in the last row, in the very last seat against the wall? Is there someone back there that can say, hello?

Speaker B: Hi.

Speaker A: What's your name?

Speaker B: Andrea.

Speaker A: Andrea, are you aware that. Do you have the distinct, palpable feeling that your intention created this evening, as well as Melissa's? Do you understand that all of this, this entire event is happening inside you?

Speaker B: We'll just try to feel it for a second, because it's a trip, man. Some people go to the Super Bowl. I am the Super Bowl Mandez. I swear, my friends are all going to see that play. That was great. I'm like, yeah, but the energy coming out of me right now, man, is unbelievable. I'm just sitting there. I'm the stadium. I'm the vendors outside. I'm the crack dealer on the corner. I'm everything, man.

Speaker A: There's no end to it.

Speaker B: And it's so much fun.

Speaker A: It's so much fun. So I hope you can feel that, and I hope you understand that you are one of the creators of this evening. That your intentions and your desires created this evening as well. And then I hope you are able to ask yourself, why did I get such a crappy seat and be okay with it? I mean, you're in the last row, in the last seat, and yet you created this. That's gotta be. It's a really selfless thing to do.
