[Music]
please welcome to speak to us the
funniest man on earth a performer of
legendary cum comic genius a children's
book author of profound depth an
individual of enormous compassion who is
doing so much to make our world a better
place the great Jim Carrey
what are you sitting down for
I was gonna melt that for a while you
guys can stretch that out in post right
you can make that longer in the Edit
Thank You Bevin thank you all Jai
Gurudev
I brought one of my paintings to show
you today I hope you guys are gonna be
able to see it okay it's not one of my
bigger pieces so you might want to move
down front get a good look at it
faculty parents friends dignified guests
graduating class of 2014 and all the
dead baseball players coming out of the
corn to be with us today
after the harbor's there's no place for
them to hide fields are empty
there's no cover there I'm here to plant
the seed today a seed that will inspire
you to move forward in life with
enthusiastic hearts and a clearer sense
of wholeness the question is will that
seed have a chance to take root or will
I be sued by Monsanto and forced to use
their seed
which may not be totally Ayurvedic
excuse me if I seem a little bit
low-energy tonight today whatever this
is I slept with my head to the north
last night oh man oh man
you know how that is right kids
yeah woke up right in the middle of
Pitta couldn't get back to sleep dobot I
rode around crazy
but I didn't freak out you know I used
that time to eat a large meal connect
with someone special on tinder because
life doesn't happen to you it happens
for you how do I know this I don't but
I'm making sound and that's the
important thing that's what I'm here to
do
sometimes I think that's the only thing
that's important really you know it's
just letting each other know we're here
reminding each other that we're part of
a larger self I used to think Jim Carrey
is all that I was just a flickering
light a dancing shadow
the great nothing masquerading is
something you can name seeking shelter
in caves and foxholes dug out hastily an
archer searching for his target in the
mirror wounded only by my own arrows
begging to be enslaved pleading for my
chains wounded by longing and tripping
over paradise
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
you didn't think it could be serious did
you I don't think you understand who
you're dealing with
I have no limits
I cannot be contained because I'm the
container you can't contain the
container man you can't contain the
container I used to believe that who I
was ended at the edge of my skin that I
had been given this little vehicle
called a body from which to experience
creation and though I couldn't have
asked for a sporty or model it was after
all a loner and would have to be
returned then I learned that everything
outside the vehicle was part of me too
and now I Drive a convertible
and then top down win to my hair
I am elated and truly truly truly
excited to be present and fully
connected to you at this important
moment in your journey I hope you're
ready to open the roof and take it all
in okay four more years then they're
obviously not ready this needs more
cooking I want to thank the trustees the
administrators the Faculty of M um for
creating an institution worthy of
maharishis ideals of Education a place
that teaches knowledge and experience
the knowledge and experience necessary
to be productive in life as well as
enabling the students through
Transcendental Meditation and ancient
Vedic knowledge to slack off twice a day
for an hour to half
don't think you're fooling me but I
guess it has some benefits it does allow
you to separate who you truly are and
what's real from the stories that run
through your head you have given them
that them the ability to walk behind the
minds elaborate set decoration and to
see that there's a huge difference
between a dog that is going to eat you
in your mind and an actual dog that is
going to eat you
that may sound like no big deal but many
never learn that distinction and they
spend a great deal of their lives living
in fight-or-flight response I'd like to
acknowledge all of you wonderful parents
way to go you've done for your tireless
dedication your love your support most
of all for the attention that you paid
to your children I have a saying beware
the unloved because they will eventually
hurt themselves or me when I look at
this group here you know I feel really
safe I do I'm just gonna say it my room
is not locked my room is not locked no
doubt some of you will turn out to be
crooks but white-collar stuff you know
Wall Street that type of thing you know
crimes committed by people with
self-esteem
stuff parents can still be proud of in a
weird way into the graduating class of
2017 - three you didn't let me finish
[Music]
congratulations
yes give yourself a round of applause
face
[Music]
you are the vanguard of knowledge and
consciousness a new wave in a vast ocean
of possibilities on the other side of
that door there's a world starving for
new ideas new leadership I've been out
there for 30 years she's a wildcat
she'll rub up against your leg and purr
until you pick her up and stop petting
her and then out of nowhere she'll slap
in the face it can be rough out there
but that's okay because there's
soft-serve ice cream with sprinkles I
guess that's what I'm really trying to
say here today sometimes it's okay to
eat your feelings
now fear is going to be a player in your
life you get to decide how much you can
spend your whole life imagining ghosts
worrying about the pathway to the future
but all there will ever be is what's
happening here in the decisions we make
in this moment which are based in either
love or fear so many of us choose our
path out of fear disguised as
practicality what we really want seems
impossibly out of reach and ridiculous
to expect so we never dare to ask the
universe for it I'm saying I'm the proof
that you can ask the universe for it
[Music]
and if it doesn't happen for you right
away it's only because the universe is
so busy fulfilling my order
[Applause]
party-size my father could have been a
great comedian but he didn't believe
that that was possible for him and so he
made a conservative choice instead he
got a safe job as an accountant and when
I was 12 years old he was let go from
that safe job and our family had to do
whatever we could to survive I learned
many great lessons from my father not
the least of which was that you can fail
at what you don't want so you might as
well take a chance on doing what you
love
it's not the only thing he taught me
though you know I watched the effect of
my father's love and humor and how it
altered the world around me and I
thought that's something to do that's
something worth my time it wasn't long
before I started acting up you know
people would come over to the house and
they'd be greeted by a seven-year-old
throwing himself down a large flight of
stairs they would say what happened and
I would say I don't know let's check the
replay I'd go back to the top of the
stairs and come back down in slow motion
it was a very strange household
my father used to brag that I wasn't a
ham I was the whole pig and he treated
my talent as if it was his second chance
when I was about 28 after a decade as a
professional comedian I realized one
night in LA that the purpose of my life
had always been to free people from
concern just like my dad
and when I realized this I dubbed my new
devotion the Church of freedom from
concern the Church of FFC
[Music]
and I dedicated myself to that ministry
what's yours
how will you serve the world what do
they need that your talent can provide
that's all you have to figure out as
someone who's done what you're about to
go and do I can tell you from experience
the effect you have on others is the
most valuable currency there is
[Music]
because everything you gain in life will
rot and fall apart and all that would be
left of you is what was in your heart am
i choosing to free people am i choosing
to free people from concern got me to
the top of a mountain look where I am
look what I get to do everywhere I go
look this I'm gonna get emotional
because when I tap into this it really
is extraordinary to me I did something
that made people present their best
selves to me wherever I go
I am at the top of the mountain and I
was and I the only the only one I hadn't
freed was myself and that's when my
search for identity deepened I wondered
who I'd be without my fame who would I
be if I said things that people didn't
want to hear or if I defied their
expectations of me what if I showed up
to the party without my Mardi Gras bat
mask and refused to flash my breasts for
a handful of beans I'll give you a
moment to wipe that image out of your
mind but you guys are so ahead of the
game you already know who you are
and that piece that piece that we're
after lies somewhere beyond personality
beyond the perception of others beyond
invention and disguise even beyond
effort itself you can join the game
fight the wars play with form all you
want but to find real peace you have to
let the armor go your need for
acceptance can make you invisible in
this world don't let anything stand in
the way of the light that shines through
this form risk being seen in all of your
glory
[Music]
it's not big enough this painting is big
for a reason it's called high visibility
it's about picking up the light and
daring to be seen here's the tricky part
everyone is attracted to the light the
party hosts up at the top who thinks
unconsciousness is bliss and is always
offering to drink from the bottles that
empty you misery below her despises the
light can't stand when you're doing well
wishes you nothing but the worst the
queen of diamonds under him needs a king
to build her house of cards and the
hollow one down bottom there will cling
to your leg and say please don't leave
me behind
for I have abandoned myself even those
who are closest to you and most in love
with you the people you love most in the
world will find clarity confronting at
times this painting took me thousands of
hours to complete and when I was
finished
thank you house thousands of hours I'll
never get him back
I'll never get them back I was I worked
on this for so long I was weeks and
weeks like the madman alone on the
scaffolding and when I was finished one
of my friends said this would be a cool
black light painting so I started over
[Applause]
[Music]
welcome to Burning Man
some pretty crazy characters up there
but better up there than in here you
know painting is one of the ways thank
you
painting is one of the ways I free
myself from concern a way to stop the
world through total mental spiritual and
physical involvement but even with that
comes a feeling of divine
dissatisfaction because ultimately we're
not the avatars we create we're not the
pictures on the film stock we are the
light that shines through all else is
just smoke and mirrors distracting but
not truly compelling I've often said
that I wished people could realize all
their dreams and wealth and fame and so
that they could see that it's not where
you're going to find your sense of
completion like many of you I was
concerned about going out into the world
and doing something bigger than myself
until someone smarter than myself made
me realize that there is nothing bigger
than myself
my soul is not contained within limits
of my body my body is contained within
the limitlessness of my soul one unified
field one unified field of nothing
dancing for no particular reason except
maybe to comfort and entertain itself
as that shift happens in you you won't
be feeling the world to be felt by it
you'll be embraced by it now I'm always
at the beginning I have a reset button
and I ride that button constantly
once that button is functioning in your
life there's no story that the mind
could create that will be as compelling
the imagination is always manufacturing
scenarios both good and bad and the ego
tries to keep you trapped in the
multiplex of the mind
our eyes are not viewers they are also
projectors that are running a second
story over the picture that we see in
front of us all the time
fear is writing that script and the
working title is I'll never be enough
they're gonna look at a person like me
and say how could we ever hope to reach
those kind of heights Jim how can we
make a painting that's too big from our
home how do you fly so high without a
special breathing apparatus this is the
voice of the ego and if you listen to it
there will always be someone who's doing
better than you no matter what you gain
ego will not let you rest it will tell
you that you cannot stop until you've
left an indelible mark on the earth
until you've achieved immortality how
tricky is this ego that it would tempt
us with the promise of something we
already possess
so I just want you to relax you know
that's my job
relax and dream up a good life I had a
substitute teacher from Ireland in the
second grade they told my class during
morning prayer that when she wants
something anything at all she prays for
it and promises something in return and
she always gets what she wants
well I'm sitting at the back of the
classroom you know thinking wow my
family can't afford a bike you know so I
went home and I prayed for him and I
promised I would recite the rosary every
night in exchange broke it broke that
promise but two weeks later I got home
from school to find a brand-new Mustang
bike with a banana seat and Easy Rider
handlebars yeah from fool to cool my
family informed me that I had won the
bike in a raffle that a friend of mine
had entered my name in without any proof
of my knowledge whatsoever so that type
of thing has been happening to me ever
since as far as I can tell it's just
about letting the universe know what you
want and working toward it while letting
go of how it comes to pass
your job is not to figure out how it's
gonna happen for you but to open the
door in your head and when the door
opens in real life just walk through it
and don't worry if you miss your cue
because there's always doors opening
they keep opening and when I say life
doesn't happen to you
it happens for you I really don't know
if that's true
I'm just making a conscious choice to
perceive challenges as something
beneficial so that I can deal with them
in the most productive way you'll come
up with your own style that's part of
the fun oh and why not take a chance on
faith as well
[Music]
take a chance on faith not religion but
faith not hope but faith I don't believe
in hope
hope is the beggar hope walks through
the fire and faith leaps over it
you are ready and able to do beautiful
things in this world and after you walk
through those doors today you will only
ever have two choices love or fear
choose love and don't ever let fear turn
you against your playful heart thank you
so much
[Applause]
