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

Using his studies in both eastern philosophy and western<br />

psychology, Chuck’s four-book enlightenment, Quartet, presents a<br />

world view that shows his readers how to fully live a truly<br />

enlightened and authentic life in the 21 st century by waking up to<br />

who they really are.<br />

So Chuck, I’m compelled. To go further than that right up and<br />

acknowledge you as the self-realized human being that you are…<br />

CHUCK HILLIG: Thank you for that nice introduction and after<br />

listening to it, I definitely want to hear what I have to say!<br />

[Laughter]<br />

TRIP: I watched you in your video interview on Never Not Now<br />

and I just want to say that you have amazing comfort ability in<br />

your own skin. You have a mental CD-ROM library of personal<br />

experience and teachings that you apparently have absorbed over<br />

the last 42 years since you had your awakening. <strong>The</strong> net of that is<br />

that when a person is asking you a question, after a while they<br />

realize that you’re absolutely not going to be giving back some BS<br />

answer or what have you and so the ego relaxes; it’s not the verge<br />

of a contraction and so that person that watches you dispense that<br />

amazing wisdom can relax into that wisdom and merge <strong>with</strong> it,<br />

and that’s great teaching.<br />

CHUCK HILLIG: Well, thank you for that. That’s a very<br />

enthusiastic endorsement and I hope that I also did that when I<br />

was doing psychotherapy full time for 30 years. But I’ve come to a<br />

place, years ago, where I – in fact I just posted this on Facebook<br />

because I wanted to throw that out there – and it’s just four simple<br />

words, and I like to live my life like this. <strong>The</strong> four words are;<br />

abandon certitude and embrace ambiguity.<br />

TRIP: Yes; a good teaching to live by.<br />

CHUCK HILLIG: Yes it is...it is. It’s that certitude that locks us in<br />

when we say “I know exactly what this is about,” <strong>with</strong>out thinking<br />

about all the things that you’re not pointing to.<br />
