If you ask Bob Carr of the Crystal Cave, how you doing? he’ll likely respond: I do fine, children.

The following is a transcription of a recording from one day with Bob in October, 2016:

I love to share the joy with the cave… I began a selfish pursuit 50 years ago to achieve happiness, unshakable happiness, and in achieving that, a lot rubs off on others.

A man approached Bob about sharing his joy with others, to which Bob responded, Your purpose here is to create energy fields, guy. If you don’t do that, you fail as a human being. You can’t get rid of it, so to speak. The more you give, the more energy you generate, and you’re in a big energy circle that comes back around and slaps your face for you. I like it. Hit me again.

Responding to a man’s jacket that read “Prisoner: Doing Life,” Bob said, Well, we are prisoners in the material world. Material life is slavery by its nature. You don’t decide. You’re not thinking you can decide are ya? It’s all decided for you in the material world. You can’t not buy groceries. You can’t not pay your rent. You can’t not do this that the other.

Another man asked Bob about the story of his cave, to which Bob responded, I don’t know. I didn’t make it. It’s about you, my fellow humans. That’s part of my quest for happiness. One basic thing is first you gotta forget your hang ups and fall in love with everybody. That covers everything. I did start a selfish pursuit 50years ago when I was 28, my first solar return I woke up really fast to a bunch of stuff and the creator kept sending me people, you know, with messages, so I’ve been working on that for 50 years. It starts with surrender. Surrender. Starve your ego to death. Make it about the person you’re looking at instead of yourself. Abandon humanity and create your own. I believe the whole universe is already inside me, guy, and that’s a wake up point where you wake up and surrender to that and understand that it’s all already inside you. You’re not gonna create anything. the creator does that. You’re gonna discover if you go inside, it’s already there. Yeah. And to me, happiness is the key. You can only have happiness by training your mind to think the right thoughts, which will cause you to do the right deeds, which will bring you happiness.
