  1. Oh, Oprah. Okay, that begs a huge question, which I've been thinking about rather seriously and intimately. We are all one I am everybody who's seeking. And everybody who's seeking is me. So I make no differentiation. Imagine that. I mean, that means

  2. Would you want to? That's a good question. It depends on what the human race collectively decides to do, and I think we're in that process. The adventure of it all to me, and I have to answer it that way, is that That is a real unknown, and you have to be happy, you have to be willing to be compliant with not knowing.

  4. Not so much my life. I sit and feast on the now. I really do that. I really do that. So that's why I'm so intertwined with nature and my animals. Lots of other people. When I'm with them, I'm really feasting on the now of who they're trying to be. What an entertainment.

  6. Yeah, but what I do for you is what you want to do anyway, which is to really get into it and you want to really understand.

  7. The ones who have hurt me the most. Ones who have had the biggest difficulties with. I can't say I've had a great spiritual teacher like Eckhard or I love Gary Boyle.

  8. I have to say no. Except perhaps, Noah, this I guess it's not a practice, but it's a state of being. Let things happen. I allow things to happen.

  9. She cannot see a thing. She cannot hear a thing. And she's functioning On a level that is a miracle to me. So I'm watching her get down and judge how much she can jump. She doesn't even know where the floor is anymore.

Like my older, you know, Terry, I've written a book about Terry She's been a really extraordinary teacher for me.

  11. Excuse me, but I'm going to The notion that all you really need Is some freshwater a good hat and a really good pair of shoes. About all I've concluded that I can say.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. I feel like that's what you love to do. And I would love that too. To sit with people who are... Are similarly inclined to be as curious and have a little trips with their imagination and try it out on each other. I would love to do that. I want to amalgamate with people. I want to hear and feel what they're thinking and wondering about and afraid of and cautious about. That's where I get my real. And what is it you want?

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  13. Oh, that's such a good question, Oprah. Yeah, because in a way I feel responsible having been so curious and had the freedom. Explore these things and find answers for myself. What I would like to do is have. Or People who are really as curious as I am and do seminars where we share and ask each other questions.

  14. Learning why you came in in the first place And so we are the creators of whatever reality we are pleased with or not. And I'm pleased with the lessons I've given myself. Tell you the truth. I sleep well.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. But people pleasing is a kind of endeavor all in itself. I am so free of that But that's where I'm finding my really dark spirited humor because I don't give a

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  16. You'll think that when you're 65 and you'll think it when you're 70. It's funny what age the priorities you begin to examine.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  17. No, I'm not done. Not afraid of death. I would not want it to be slow and lingering. I think I'm afraid of lightning because it happens so fast if it struck me. And I wouldn't have... I wouldn't have a chance to adjust to what it meant. It's sort of like my memory. I'm having a real adventure with my memory, are you? No, you're too young yet.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. So I was in touch yet again with blisters on my feet, my physical condition. I was 61 when I did it. Hardest thing was for me not to make friends. Everybody's going through the same thing, and you want to share what you're going through about your life. What was fascinating? I think I thought about love affairs and men and what to do about all that. Maybe an hour combined So I was kind of finished with it. Had such wonderful memories, but No regrets and no sense of wanting when I'm going to find the right one none of that. Really being rather Satisfied but allegiant to who I was and who I wasn't. And when I got back to London, I found that I had to walk in Hyde About four hours a day. And that's when I got in touch with how everything we do becomes habit. If we're accustomed to it.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. On purpose, you know, it's a spiritual camino. That's what I wrote about in my book. I had a lot of past life memories during that time. And they say, and I think it's true, you start your camino after you're finished. Because while you're on it, it was trying. The point is to go alone, don't make friends. That's really hard for me. And don't spend any money. You have to beg for food and live in Rafujos, which are refuges. There are places that you just throw down.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. I had a good time. When others, never mind, who had said, To your own front roll, you sure you want to do that And you know that since when I walked up the stairs at the end, I was supposed to go on the stage and say stuff. And when Jack put his hand out and helped me up the stairs. It was a moment of, oh God, I really am getting old. I adore this man. And when you have that kind of on-screen personality, which you could say is spiritual, that's a really spiritual mix. Me and Jack Nicholson.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. You know, a couple of my buddies said, Oh my God, it's got to go into your own funeral. You won't like it. It's very interesting to go through it. And I was surprised that I enjoyed it. Thought they didn't like me, and then they are there saying all these wonderful things. So you go through that examination of your past and your opinion of yourself. That's really what goes on. And I was rather surprised I had a high opinion myself. I wasn't sure that would happen. I had a good time.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Look back on that now and I say. This was it this is what everybody wishes they had back. And I don't know if Dean and Frank and the rest of them realize it because they were much older and much more accustomed to this kind of attention and celebrity. And I wasn't. I mean, I met them when I was 22 or something. And it all happened to me very fast. So that was the natural way of things. I look back on, oh my God, why didn't you realize? If I had realized Have become a different person. My saving grace has been my naivete. And now, as I'm older, I look back and I'm starting to evaluate what does memory mean? What are the component parts of memory in relation to how you do comprehend the past? Why am I remembering this and not that?

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. Look at that not with real nostalgia. Oh, yeah. I've thought a lot about that because I miss it. But what I miss, I realize now, is the spontaneity and not giving a damn that those guys were imbued the talent with. So they didn't care and they always were very well dressed, made certain that they wore hats and the ties, etc. So they basically knew they were on. Whole time, and nobody really protected. What protected them was their spontaneity? And they didn't care. Other people thought. Of course, there was this mystery behind them anyway.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  24. I think we don't know or have any comprehension of what we're doing to nature. Now, those who are scientists in the all gores of the world and stuff, yes, of course. But what's happened to the rest of us? We're so materialistic. Our values, that's our religion is materialism. So we've become addicted to the materialism and have no sensibility of what is that doing to the very sustenance of our lives, which is nature. And everybody knows we've got to fix it. And yet we're all leaving it up to somebody else to fix.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. And that became very educational. Oh, that's why they're acting like that. Look what I did to them then. That's when I understood the laws of karma. It's an inspiration to try to figure out what's going on here. I look at it As an adventure in understanding the science of the spirit. That's what I'm interested in in every way.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. I think when I first started having past life recall. And then, of course, I got into the scientific study of it and did many regressions What was so fascinating was in the regressions of the past lives that I have experienced, I realized the people who showed up in those experiences were also in my life today.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  27. We are where we came from, where we're going, how did it all happen? Yeah, that's my fun. I consider it really fun. Whenever I'm with a scientist or a very kind of so-called left brained intellectual person, that's What I love. With a dinner. And then I, of course, I have to be fairly well read like Genesis and the Bible. The Bible is the book. It's right there. It's written all about The otherness of other worldly truths. I mean, that's the truth as I see it. What is our purpose? Why are we here? So religion is called into question now, and a lot of people say, But then what is the purpose?

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. No, that was never imposed on me from my parents. But then, you know, they were, Dad was an intellectual who mastered in psychology and philosophy at Johns Hopkins. So that kind of religious stuff was not something they thought I should be imbued with.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. Yes. Or something like that. Or have been there? Who would like to go back? Yes. And you know, what is the difference between that and the mystery of religion?

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. Well, I didn't know that that meant mystic, but for Christmas that year, I asked for a cross. And a telescope. And my parents said, What is this? I said, I don't know, but that's what I want. And I would lie out on the back lawn looking through my telescope, knowing that there were other, let's say, off-world civilizations up there. Yeah.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. I don't know. That's how naive I can be and why it works for me. I don't think I don't even know what risks are. A risk to me is...

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. You know, now that I've out and everything, I think I had come to the point where I would let my humorous imagination run away. Then I sat down and basically channeled it, you know, without filters.

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. Able to ask the question to have the freedom of curiosity without being judged or told, well, don't do that, don't you think about it? Why not? If you've lived along and you're still walking upright, you have...

    2017-10-02 · Oprah's Super Soul · Shirley MacLaine: A Legendary Seeker · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. I'm like a child. I need to know a much more sophisticated questions, of course, but I would say that's the reason for being alive, frankly.
