"At the end of the day when you close your eyes, it's just you, and Him. Nobody else can get into that sacred space. You may have video and audio of who you've seen and who you've been with throughout the day plaguing your mind and your dream life and that whole inner world -- that dialogue. You know, we waste so much of that sacred dialogue talking to other people in our minds and they can't even hear it! You're always talking. Everyone is saying something in their head, right now. There's always a picture, there's always a dialogue, always. I mean the mind is bizarre. You can't turn it off; it never ever stops, and it never ever will. You have a whole world inside of you. I mean, it's like a universe of worlds out int this auditorium. You don't know what your neighbor's thinking or who they're talking to in their head right now. You can't get in there. You know who is there? God. That's where He lives...That dialogue -- God created you, in His jealousy -- He made you, for prayer. He made you for communion. He designed the human frame for Himself...He didn't make a mistake. He gave you an imagination and a brain that won't stop and then [He says you have to overcome it all?] No! He created your mind and He created that inner dialogue so that you could pray..."
