00:00My problem is that my logic doesn't let me believe in God.
00:04But then in the night if somebody starts talking about ghosts,
00:07I want something God-like near me, like a picture or something.
00:11You believe in ghosts, so to counter that you start believing in gods.
00:16And then you make it ghosts versus gods in your inner battlefield.
00:20And because you are the referee, you make the gods win, right?
00:23So that's one way, and that's a tried and tested way,
00:25and that way has actually helped a lot of people.
00:28It's not without reason that those fancy stories continue to hold sway.
00:33They help a lot of people.
00:34So you could use that, or you could ask yourself,
00:37do I need to counter imagination with imagination?
00:41There is somebody sitting inside me who has no taste for truth,
00:46but has a very fertile imagination,
00:48and that one comes up with all kinds of fancy ideas.
00:51Not only does she come up with fancy ideas,
00:55she doesn't remember the idea is her own.
00:58The idea does not absolutely or objectively exist.
01:03The idea is a purely subjective fancy.
01:06It came from me, and you forget that.
