- Hello there and welcome.
Have you ever spent any time wondering,
how does everything happen?
How does everything happen?
Why does the night follow the day?
Why doesn't the day follow the day?
Like in some places it does.
But, I spent a lot of time thinking about this.
In fact, at times, it almost drives me crazy.
Than the brighter side of my studio here
is a Japanese Maple tree, and there's times of the year
it's absolutely beautiful.
In the spring of the year, it has buds on it.
Then the bud blooms, and leaves pop out.
And the leaves generally, in the spring
are very deep, really brown.
They're not a pretty looking leaf.
But then they start to change and over time,
you don't notice it happening, just one day you look
and it's a different color.
And by fall the leaves are crimson red.
They're the most beautiful.
It is the most beautiful tree.
And it's right outside in my studio.
I'm sitting here in my desk, and cameras around me
but, out there it is that tree.
And you know every fall, the leaves turn red.
Every spring, they're greeny brown.
They're not greeny brown in the fall
and red in the spring.
They're always red in the fall,
and greeny brown in the spring.
Think about it.
Did you ever wonder why
the tide goes way out, the tide comes way back in.
I spent some time in the Navy in Canada and,
I was down in the East Coast for a while,
and I was near the Bay of Fundy.
Did you know the Bay of Fundy has one of the highest
and lowest tides in the world.
It's absolutely amazing.
It goes way out, and then comes way back in.
Same up around Prince George on the West Coast.
You go on a ship, and you might be walking up a plank
just right straight up, and you go off the ship,
sometimes you're going right down.
That ship goes way up in the air, and it comes way down.
Very high, very low tide.
Now some place the tide's not very big.
They do have a tide, and not too high, not too low.
Why is it so different one place and another?
Why does the leaves change color?
Why do they change color?
Why does the grass keep growing?
Wouldn't it be so much nicer, if the grass just
just stayed at a certain length.
You wouldn't have to cut it.
It would always look pretty.
Do you ever think about this?
Do you know that everything in this universe
happens in an exact way,
an exact way, not by chance,
but in an exact way.
When John Kennedy, president of the United States,
asked Dr. Wernher von Braun,
who was the mastermind behind the space program.
And he asked him, what would it take to build a rocket
that would carry a person to the moon
and bring him back safely to earth.
Von Braun answered him in five words.
The will to do it.
That's it.
The will to do it.
He knew he didn't have to know how to do it.
He knew he had to learn how to do it,
but he didn't have to know to make up your mind
you were going to do it.
Now why did he say that?
Because he understands the laws.
Von Braun one time said after years of studying
the spectacular mysteries of the cosmos,
he was led into a firm belief in the existence of God.
And he said, the natural laws of this universe,
or so precise, that we don't even
have any difficulty building spaceship.
We send people to the moon and we can time the landing
with a precision of a fraction of a second.
Now he said these laws must have been set by someone.
I see the laws as God's modus operandi,
but I'm going to tell you something.
Everything happens by law.
When you and I get in harmony with the law,
now we'll do that, odds are pretty good
we should understand them.
But when we get in harmony with the law,
then I'm going to tell you it's just smooth sailing.
Success happens.
Probably be good to understand,
good idea to understand the laws, wouldn't it?
Think about it.
Your life is governed by laws
that are not man-made, so they're not going to be man changed
and if you study them, and work in harmony with them,
I mean, you'll shock yourself with the good you can do.
Now I've been doing that for the last 58 years.
I'm starting to get a really, a reasonable grip on them.
But I don't understand them as well as I do,
or would like to.
But I can study a little more today,
I get my trusty book out here.
I'll have to talk to you about this book.
That would be another time.
Study the laws.
Find out what they write, what they're like.
What are the laws and then study them.
You'll win.
Bye bye!
