<strong>Conversations</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Avant</strong>-<strong>garde</strong> <strong>Sages</strong><br />

So I think there's a lot of examples about where vulnerability<br />

comes in, and how much power it really wields. And I can't really<br />

tell you how much power that really is. I use the word power<br />

because I can't think of another word for it; strength would be a<br />

good word also.<br />

WIZARD: It's the inevitability of the universe where one is still<br />

that's the power, and it's unobstructed. Thy will, which is not my<br />

will, but the will of the universe, is the whole universe acting in<br />

unison. And its power knows not the dilemma of apparent choice,<br />

it just is. And to go up against it [Laughs]…<br />

BRIAN EZZELL: Is really a futile thing.<br />

WIZARD: Yes. [Laughs]<br />

BRIAN EZZELL: Yes, resistance is futile.<br />

TRIP: You've got some great little nuggets on your website; I can<br />

just go all day <strong>with</strong> them. Here's one I like, you say, "You are here<br />

to sense this world, not to make sense of it". That's beautiful.<br />

Here's another one, "<strong>The</strong> distance between heaven and earth is<br />

one thought".<br />

BRIAN EZZELL: Yes, that one came to being, that statement, was<br />

the day after my mentor passed away, I really felt that even though<br />

we always… he and I always said that we were one, and from the<br />

get go, we are one. It didn't fully register; I mean I always knew<br />

that, there was many times when we would finish each other's<br />

sentences, and all that kind of stuff that happens when you live<br />

<strong>with</strong> someone for so long. But, yes, after he passed I realized that<br />

he's still very much… Let's put it this way, I feel more at one <strong>with</strong><br />

him than I ever have, and that was a bit of a revelation, I didn't<br />

expect to have that particular feeling. But I realized that oneness<br />

transfers beyond, so to speak, this life, that heaven, or Nirvana, or<br />

what have you, is right here, right Now. If we do have a thought,<br />

that thought, if we think it, it can seem like it is a billion light years<br />
