Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
BRIAN EZZELL: Yes.
TRIP: So the like wife-beater, he's not going to remain…
BRIAN EZZELL: Up until the moment when he passes away.
TRIP: Ah, okay.
BRIAN EZZELL: I feel like eventually when death occurs you’re
going to find out real quick, aren't you? [Laughs]
WIZARD: Death was true all along.
BRIAN EZZELL: Yes. It doesn't matter… no, there's no timeframe
in there, you're going to find out about this one way or the other,
and that's all there is to it. [Laughter]
TRIP: Hey, here's something you said that really resonated with
me, and it was very comforting, so I want to share it. You say,
"When I experience things that are beautiful, I say, wow that is
very beautiful and wonderful. It is still duality. When I experience
things that are threatened I say, while that is threatening, it is still
duality". I don't know that's comforting.
BRIAN EZZELL: Yes. I say that in a sense, I don't go around
saying, well that's duality, that's duality, but duality and oneness
are one. To say that oneness and duality, you could talk about
them in conceptual ways, that's dualistic thinking as well. But first
you learn about duality, and you learn… first you don't know
anything about duality, you don't even know what oneness is, you
just go through life and you're just okay, life sometimes it sucks
and sometimes it’s great. But then you learn about duality. And
then after that you learn about oneness, you realize oneness. And
then there's a point in time when you need let go of both of those,
and just be. And that to let go of the concepts that maybe we run
the risk of always, just because we use the human language, and
we talk about things, we do have concepts.
