欢迎我们的演讲嘉宾，世界上最幽默的人。传奇般的喜剧天才。有深度的儿童书的作者，富有同情心的一个人。它为改善世界做出了无数努力。了不起的，金.凯瑞。
金说话开始：干嘛坐下啊？我还想再拖一会儿。你们可以拖到我想要的时候。再拖一会儿才停下来。（搞笑）
感谢bevan，感谢各位，平安之心与你们同在。我带了一幅画想展示给你们。希望你们都看得到。这幅画还不太大。所以你们可能得靠前坐些，仔细看看。
教工们，家长们，朋友们,尊敬的来宾们，2014级的毕业生们。还有从玉米地里跑出来的已逝的棒球手们。收割之后，它们哪也藏不住。田野空了，没有掩护了。
我今天前来为各位播种。这个种子会启发你在生活中前行。带着热情洋溢的心和对自己的清晰认知。问题是，这个种子有机会扎根吗?
我会不会被孟山都起诉？（孟山都公司：一家跨国农业生物技术公司，曾因一场关于种子的无理诉讼而受诟病。）不得不用他们的种子。这可能算是不太纯正的阿姨吠陀疗法吧。
很抱歉，今晚似乎我的能量不太充足。管他呢!昨晚我是头朝北睡的。哦，我的天哪。天哪!你们明白这种感觉吧，孩子们。在深睡时突然惊醒，vata不走我就睡不着觉。
（注解：阿育吠陀将人的体质分为三种类型，Vata(风型)倾向于失眠。pitta（火型 ）睡眠质量好。kapha（土型）常睡不起。）真是疯了。不过我才没被吓坏。我趁那会儿吃了一顿大餐。和tinder上的某位特殊人物聊了一会儿。（注tinder一款在美国较为流行的陌生人社交应用。）
因为生活并非碰巧而发生。他正为你而绽放。我是怎么知道的呢？我不知道，但我在发出声音。这才是重要的。这才是我在此所要做的。有时我觉得这是唯一一件重要的事。使得彼此间知道，我们在这里。相互间提醒着，我们是更大整体的其中一部分。
我曾经把金.凯瑞视作自己的一切。那闪烁的一瞬，舞动的暗影。伪装成你熟知事物的一片虚无。
在山洞于浅坑中寻找庇护所。匆忙的挖着。在镜中寻找目标的一名射手。被自己的箭所伤。乞求着被奴役。恳求着套上锁链。被天堂的渴望与羁绊蒙蔽双眼。
能对我说“阿门”吗?
你们没觉得我会严肃吧。我不觉得你了解面对的这个人。我可没有底线啊。我绝不会被限制，因为我就是那个容器。你没法用容器去装容器的自身呐。你没法用容器装容器。
我曾相信之前的那个我，止于皮肤之内。我被赐予这辆叫做“身体”的小车来体验创作。
尽管没机会要一辆跑车。这其实是一辆装载车，而且还得回去。之后我发现车外的一切也是我的一部分。所以现在我开的是敞篷车。就是这样，兜风特别爽。
我很高兴也特别特别兴奋，能在此与你们相连。在你们人生这个重要的时刻。希望你们能准备好打开屋顶，打开眼界，环视四方。好吧重读四年去。这些人显然还没有准备好。还需要被指导。我想感谢董事会，理事会，玛赫西管理大学各位教工。
创造出一所符合玛赫西教育理念的学校。一个教授知识和经验的地方。知识和经验对工作生活来说尤为重要。让学生们能够通过超觉冥想，一种古老的阿育吠陀知识。来胡思乱想每天两次总共一个半小时。（搞笑效果）
谁说你骗得过我。不过我猜这其中仍有益处。它让你分清你的真实身份、真相，同你脑海中的那些故事。是你们自己赋予它们浅行于大脑虚幻光景之下的能力，编出故事。
去看清侵蚀你思想的狗，与现实中真想吃掉你的狗之间的巨大差别。这听上去好像没什么，但很多人着实分不清。他们浪费很长时间思考是该打还是逃。
我想感谢各位尽责的家长。就该这么做。你们做得非常出色。你们不知疲倦的付出，你们的爱与支持。最重要的你们对孩子的关注。我曾说过，小心不被爱的人。
因为他们最终会伤及自己，或是我。当我看着在坐这群人时，我觉得很安全。真的，我刚想说我的房间没上锁。当然，你们某些人会成为骗子。像某些白领那种，华尔街的那类。那些因为要有自尊的人所犯的错。那些奇葩家长会引以为傲的东西。
对，那些2017级毕业生，减三……？你没让我把话说完。恭喜你们是的，给你们自己点掌声吧。
你们是知识和意识的先锋。无尽可能中的新浪潮。门的另一边是一个渴求新思想，新领导的世界。我已经在那30年了。
她可是个难缠的猫。她会不停的蹭你的腿，喵喵的叫，直到你把他抱起来，拍拍她。然后猝不及防间，她会突然挠你的脸。外面也许会很艰难。但没关系，那里还有软冰淇淋。
估计这就是我今天想对你们说的。有时咽下自己的心情，没什么问题。恐惧会是你人生中的一部分。
但是由你来决定它的分量。你可以穷尽一生的想象鬼怪，担忧通往未来的道路。但前路之所有，都是今日所发生的。它取决于我们今日根据恐惧或爱而做出的决定。
很多人选择道路时，被伪装成“现实”的恐惧欺骗。我们所期待的遥不可及，看似荒谬。
因此，我们从不开口向宇宙索取。我要说的是，我就是你可以向宇宙索取的证据。去做吧。如果索求的并未马上出现，这只是宇宙在忙着满足我的要求呢。
我的父亲本可以成为伟大的喜剧演员，但他不相信自己可以。因此他做了一个保守的决定。他拿下了会计这个铁饭碗。当我12岁时，他的饭碗没保住。
我们一家竭尽全力谋求生存。我从父亲身上学到很多教训。其中一条是，你在自己不想做的事情上也会失败。
那么请试试做自己爱的事吧。这并不是他教给我唯一的事。我见识到了父亲的爱及幽默的力量。以及它对我周围世界的改变。
我想这很值得去做。我就该花时间做这个。不久之后我便开始“表演”。客人来到我家时，一位七岁小孩前来迎接。之后从楼梯上滚下去。
他们会说 “怎么了？” 我说 “不知道，重放一遍看看吧。” 我回到楼梯顶上慢慢的再次滚下去。这家子太奇怪了。我父亲曾吹牛说我不是一片火腿，而是一整头猪。他将我的才能视为自己的第二次机会。
当我28岁成为职业喜剧演员10年时。在洛杉矶的某天晚上，我意识到自己人生的目的是帮人摆脱顾虑，正如父亲那样。意识到这点后，我便把自己的工作地称为“排忧解难教堂”。我全身心的投入其中。
那么，你的呢?你将如何服务于这个世界？你的才能可满足何种需求？这就是你要想明白的。对于那些，完成你要做的事的那些人。
我可以凭经验说，你对他人的影响是你最大的价值。你所得到的一切终会腐烂消逝。所剩的只有你心中留下的。我选择释放他人。我所选择释放他人的压力，把我带到了巅峰。看看我在哪呢？看看我要做的事。
我所到之处。现在我有点激动，提及这点时，总会想到他对我非凡的意义。我做了某些事，让人们对我展现最美好的自己。无论我去哪。我站在山的顶峰，却发现唯一一个没有被释放的是我自己。
此时，我便开始找寻自我。我想知道没有名声的我会怎样？我说出他人不愿听的话会发生什么？如果我违抗了他人的期望，在派对上没带狂欢节的面具呢？不肯为了一捧珠串而乍泄春光。（给你们一点时间，把这情景忘掉。）
但你们占有巨大的优势。你已经知道你是谁。这平安，我们所追求的平安。其地位高于个性，高于他人对你的看法，高于发明和伪装。甚至高于你为之所做出的努力本身。你可以加入游戏，可以打仗。在其中为所欲为。
但是为了真正的平安，你必须卸下盔甲。卸下你对认同感的渴望。不要让任何东西遮住平安照耀出的光芒。在你所有的自认为的荣耀中都能看到风险。（画出现）其实它不够大。
这幅画这么大，是有原因的。它叫做，高度引人注意。它讲述的光和被看见。下面是这幅画得微妙之处。每个人都会被光线所吸引。最上面是派对的主持人。
他认为无知即福。总是想要你喝那些让你空虚的饮料。她下面是痛苦，他对光厌恶至极无法忍受你的优秀。只希望你是最差的。
他下面的是钻石女王。需要一个国王来搭起他的纸牌屋子。最下面张着大嘴的人紧紧抱着你的腿。乞求着，不要抛弃我，我已经自暴自弃了。
甚至那些和你最亲密最爱你的人，世界上你最爱的人。也会有各种矛盾发现很多不和谐。我花了几千小时来画这幅画。这几千小时再也回不来了。
我花了很长时间，一周接着一周，像一个疯子在孤独的搭脚手架。画好时，一个朋友说。画成紫外灯画的话，这幅画会很棒。于是我重画了一幅。（灯暗， 画亮了）
欢迎来到，燃烧之人。这些角色都很疯狂吧。但在那里的，都比脑袋里的ego要好。画画是我缓解焦虑的方式之一。一种同世界隔离的方式。通过全身心的投入。
但即使这样，我也会有难以言喻的不满足感。根本上说，我们不是自己创造的这具身体，不是电影胶片上的画面。我们是照耀其中的光芒。其他的都是烟尘和镜像。它们很让人分心，但不是真正引人注目。我常常希望人们能够实现金钱与名誉的梦想。
这样他们就会发现，这不是自己追求的完满的人生。和你们中的很多人一样，我总担心进入广阔的世界中，那些做出比我更大的事的人。
直到比我聪明的人，让我明白，没有什么比自己更大。我的心灵不受身体限制的约束。而我的身体容纳在无界的心灵内。在同一个和谐统一里。在那个一里，不为任何原因翩翩起舞，除了它本身。
如果你发生了这样的转变，你不会感受到周围的世界，它会感知你，会拥抱你。
我总是在一开始，就想起那有个重置按钮。并且经常按下它。在你生命中，只要这个按钮还能用。你的思维就会创造出更吸引人的故事，想象力总是改变着现实场景。
好坏皆有，而自我意识ego将你困在二元的思维中。我们的眼睛不只在观察，他们也在向外投射。在我们所见之景上投射出另一个故事。恐惧书写这个故事。
故事的标题是“我永远不满足”。你问一个人，比如我说“我该如何达到这样的高度呢jim？”我们怎么才能画出家里装不下的画？没有呼吸面罩怎么才能飞得这么高呢。这就是自我的声音。ego。如果你听他的。无论你所得多少，自我绝不会让你喘息。
他会告诉你，你不能停下，直到在世界上留下不可磨灭的标记。直到你永垂不朽。ego自我是如此的狡猾。它会以我们所想拥有的诱惑我们。
那么我只是想让你休息一下。这就是我的工作。休息一下，想象美好的人生。我二年级在爱尔兰学校的一名代课教师，在晨祷时对班级学生说当他有所欲求时，无论是什么，她都会祈祷。
并承诺用某事作为回报，她一直能得到想要的。我当时坐在教室后面想我家买不起自行车。所以我回家后为此而祈祷。我答应每天晚上背诵玫瑰经。
（注释玫瑰经天主教徒的祈祷文，认为常背诵便是一种功德，能获得圣母玛利亚的15项应许与祝福。）
算了，无视承诺吧。但两周后，我回家时看到一辆崭新的野马自行车。配有黄色座椅和高扬的车把。
从傻子变成神仙。我的家人跟我说，这是一次抽奖的奖品。一位朋友没告诉我，却写了我的名字。从此开始，这些事一直会发生。
我能说的是，让世界知道你所要。为此努力，不要在意一切是如何发生的。你们要做的不是找出事情为何在你身上发生。打开思想的大门，当现实中大门敞开时，走进去就够了。不要为错失一条线索而担心。它们会一个一个的打开。
当我说“生活并非巧合而发生，它正为你绽放”时。我也不知道这是不是真的。我只是做出了一个选择，将挑战视为有益之事。用最有成效方式应对它。你会形成自己的风格，这点也很有趣。另外，用信念冒把险吧。用信念去冒险。不是宗教是信念。不是希望，是信念。
我不相信希望，希望是个乞丐。希望走过火焰，而信念一跃而过。你们有能力也已准备好在这个世界上做出美妙之举。
当你今日穿过大门之后。只有两种选择。爱或者恐惧。选择爱，不要让恐惧泯灭了你的初心。谢谢各位，愿平安之心与你们同在，再见！

Thank you Bevan, thank you all!
I brought one of my paintings to show you today. Hope you guys are gonna be able see it okay. It’s not one of my bigger pieces. You might wanna move down front — to get a good look at it. (kidding)
Faculty, Parents, Friends, Dignitaries... Graduating Class of 2014, and all the dead baseball players coming out of the corn to be with us today. (laughter)
After the harvest there’s no place to hide — the fields are empty — there is no cover there! (laughter)
I am here to plant a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic hearts and a clear 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.” (laughter)
Excuse me if I seem a little low energy tonight — today — whatever this is. I slept with my head to the North last night. (laughter) Oh man! Oh man! You know how that is, right kids?
Woke up right in the middle of Pitta and couldn’t get back to sleep till Vata rolled around, but I didn’t freak out. I used that time to eat a large meal and connect with someone special on Tinder. (laughter)
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 one of the only things that are important. Just letting each other know we’re here, reminding each other that we are 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 as something you can name
Dwelling in forts and castles made of witches – wishes! Sorry, a Freudian slip there
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
Blinded by longing and tripping over paradise – can I get an “Amen”?! (applause)
You didn’t think I could be serious did ya’? 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! (laughter)
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 sportier model, (laughter) it was after all a loaner and would have to be returned.
Then, I learned that everything outside the vehicle was a part of me, too, and now I drive a convertible. Top down wind in my hair! (laughter)
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?! (audience doesn’t react) Okay, four more years then! (laughter)
I want to thank the Trustees, Administrators and Faculty of MUM for creating an institution worthy of Maharishi’s ideals of education.
A place that teaches 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 and a half!! (laughter) — don’t think you’re fooling me!!! — (applause) 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 the ability to walk behind the mind’s elaborate set decoration, and to see that there is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that’s going to eat you. (laughter)
That may sound like no big deal, but many never learn that distinction and spend a great deal of their lives living in fight or flight response.
I’d like to acknowledge all you wonderful parents — way to go for the fantastic job you’ve done — for your tireless dedication, your love, your support, and most of all, for the attention you’ve paid to your children. I have a saying, “Beware the unloved,” because they will eventually hurt themselves... or me! (laughter)
But when I look at this group here today, I feel really safe! I do! I’m just going to say it — my room is not locked! My room is not locked! (laughter) No doubt some of you will turn out to be crooks!
But white-collar stuff — Wall St. ya’ know, that type of thing — crimes committed by people with self-esteem! Stuff a parent can still be proud of in a weird way. (laughter)
And to the graduating class of 2017 — minus 3! You didn't let me finish! (laughter) — Congratulations! (applause) Yes, give yourselves a round of applause, please.
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 is a world starving for new leadership, new ideas.
I’ve been out there for 30 years! She’s a wild cat! (laughter) Oh, she’ll rub up against your leg and purr until you pick her up and start pettin’ her, and out of nowhere she’ll swat you in the face.
Sure it’s rough sometimes but that’s OK, ‘cause they’ve got soft serve ice cream with sprinkles! (laughter) I guess that’s what I’m really here to say; sometimes it’s okay to eat your feelings! (laughter)
Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.
You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about your pathway to the future, but all there will ever be is what’s happening here, and 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 — please! (applause)
And if it doesn't happen for you right away, it’s only because the universe is so busy fulfilling my order. It’s party size! (laughter)
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn’t believe 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. (applause)
That’s not the only thing he taught me though: I watched the affect my father’s love and humor had on 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. People would come over to my house and they would be greeted by a 7 year old throwing himself down a large flight of stairs. (laughter) They would say, “What happened?” And I would say, “I don't know — let’s check the replay.”
And I would go back to the top of the stairs and come back down in slow motion. (Jim reenacts coming down the stairs in slow-mo) It was a very strange household. (laughter)
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, like my dad.
When I realized this, I dubbed my new devotion, “The Church of Freedom From Concern” — “The Church of FFC”— 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 has done what you are about to go do, I can tell you from experience, the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. (applause)
Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.
My 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 – and I’m going to get emotional because when I tap into this, it really is extraordinary to me — I did something that makes people present their best selves to me wherever I go. (applause)
I am at the top of the mountain and 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 mask and I refused to flash my breasts for a handful of beads? (laughter) I’ll give you a moment to wipe that image out of your mind. (laughter)
But you guys are way ahead of the game. You already know who you are and that peace, that peace 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 fall.
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. (A sheet drops and reveals Jim’s painting. Applause.)
(Re: the painting) It’s not big enough! (kidding) This painting is big for a reason. This painting is called “High Visibility.” (laughter) 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 host up in the corner (refers to painting) who thinks unconsciousness is bliss and is always offering a drink from the bottles that empty you; Misery, below her, who despises the light — can’t stand when you’re doing well — and wishes you nothing but the worst;
The Queen of Diamonds who needs a King to build her house of cards; And the Hollow One, who clings to your leg and begs, “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 can find clarity confronting at times.
This painting took me thousands of hours to complete and — (applause) thank you — yes, thousands of hours that I’ll never get back, I’ll never get them back (kidding) — I worked on this for so long, for weeks and weeks, like a mad man alone on a scaffolding — and when I was finished one of my friends said, “This would be a cool black light painting.” (laughter)
So I started over. (All the lights go off in the Dome and the painting is showered with black light.) Whooooo! Welcome to Burning Man! (applause) Some pretty crazy characters right? Better up there than in here. (points to head) 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 it. 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 of wealth and fame so they could see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion.
Like many of you, I was concerned about going out in the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself! (laughter)
My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul — one unified field of nothing dancing for no particular reason, except maybe to comfort and entertain itself. (applause)
As that shift happens in you, you won’t be feeling the world you’ll be felt by it — you will be embraced by it. Now, I’m always at the beginning. I have a reset button called presence and I ride that button constantly.
Once that button is functional in your life, there’s no story 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 only viewers, but also projectors that are running a second story over the picture we see in front of us all the time. Fear is writing that script and the working title is, ‘I’ll never be enough.’
You look at a person like me and say, (kidding) “How could we ever hope to reach those kinds of heights, Jim? How can I make a painting that's too big for any reasonable home? How do you fly so high without a special breathing apparatus?” (laughter)
This is the voice of your ego. If you listen to it, there will always be someone who seems to be 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 the ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something we already possess.
So I just want you to relax—that’s my job—relax and dream up a good life! (applause) I had a substitute teacher from Ireland in the second grade that 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 it. I’m sitting at the back of the classroom, thinking that my family can’t afford a bike, so I went home and I prayed for one, and promised I would recite the rosary every night in exchange. Broke it—broke that promise. (laughter)
Two weeks later, I got home from school to find a brand new mustang bike with a banana seat and easy rider handlebars — 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 my knowledge. That type of thing has been happening ever since, and 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 might come to pass. (applause)
Your job is not to figure out how it’s going to happen for you, but to open the door in your head and when the doors open in real life, just walk through it.
Don’t worry if you miss your cue. There will always be another door 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? Take a chance on faith — not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire. 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. Jai Guru Dev. I’m so honored. Thank you.
