Mind over Mind, Alan Watts - Mind over Mind (WATTSWAVE II: How to Be a Better Person) lyrics

The title of these talks that I'm
Giving here is "Mind Over Mind"
And I'm going into all the various problems
Which have to do with the control of the mind
And so, I might for example
If you're interested in communications
It will be the problem of feedback
Or if I may put it in theological terms
How does man follow the will of God
If the will of man is perverse?
The theologians say
You cannot do this without
Having divine grace
Or the power to follow the will of God
How, then, do you get gracе?
Why is grace given to some
And not to othеrs?
If I cannot follow the will of
God by my own effort
Because my will is selfish
How will my will, which is selfish
Be transformed into an unselfish will?
If I cannot do it
Because I am already the selfish will
Then grace must do it then grace must do it
If grace has not already done it, why not?
Because I didn't accept it?
But by definition
I have no power to accept it
Because my will was selfish
Must I then become a Calvinist
And say that only those people
Who are predestined to receive grace will be
Able to live the good life? The good life
Then, we come back to
The inadmissable position
That people who live evil lives do not get
Grace because they are not predestined to it
Out of the infinite wisdom of the Godhead
Then God himself must be held
Responsible for their evil deeds
