Hello,
Roy Masters Speaking
RM:
Hello, Roy Masters speaking.
Man:
Yes. Can I talk to Roy Masters today?
RM:
Yes, you're on the air, sir. You're on the air right now.
Man:
Mr. Masters, I've listened to you for some time, and your views and your
philosophy of education have been very interesting to me.
RM:
I hope it's more than just an entertainment.
Man:
I'm sure it is. I have had to re-work my entire educational philosophy because
of the things I've heard you say over the air.
RM:
Good.
Man:
But the very core of your educational philosophy is based on the Judeo-Christian
concept of man.
RM:
Yes, it is.
Man:
And you've often stated this in more ways than one. RM: Yes.
Man:
And the thing that concerns me is that in view of this fact, how can man get
something from inside himself when he is basically evil and vicious and apart
from Truth?
RM:
Well, that's a good question, but I think, if you've listened to me long
enough, the question has already been answered. He only has to desire it, and
stop excusing his evil ways as though that was all right, and he was all right,
and everything he did was all right. You know the three hardest words in the
English language to say? They are: "I am wrong."
Man:
"I am wrong."
RM:
(laughing) It's the hardest thing in the world to say this honestly.
Man:
I agree with you there.
RM:
Until we admit that we're wrong, and that our living purpose is antagonistic to
the purpose for which we were made, and we're selfish and greedy and
egotistical and defiant, and we don't want to live that way anymore, we can
only bring forth evil. No matter what we touch, and I don't care if it's the King
of England, everything we do is wrong. Destructive, too.
Man:
I agree with that, but when you say that you learn from the inside, this
implies that there is something on the inside that
RM:
No, it's not in us yet. Let's put it this way: it's adjacent to us.
Man:
Oh, I see.
