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

sign behind him and I remember marvelling to myself that the<br />

American people had actually literally tossed that buffoon the keys<br />

to an aircraft carrier; what I’m saying? I just had this thought of<br />

the entire frat boy scene from down in the basement of his college<br />

up there laughing and drinking and driving that thing around and<br />

banging it off of stuff and everything. I-thought to myself at the<br />

time, how could there such a miscarriage of universal justice? But<br />

then I realize now that the aircraft carrier was just a bobble. You<br />

and I and the <strong>Wizard</strong> and so many of our listeners have been<br />

blessed <strong>with</strong> an awakening into what you call the source of who we<br />

are. It’s like we’ve been thrown the keys to the entire universe.<br />

CHUCK HILLIG: Yes, G.W. and all of those people; call them<br />

rascals, call them whatever, they all have their origin <strong>with</strong>in you,<br />

they all come up, you are the source of all of the rascals; you are<br />

the source of all the great spiritual teachers and of all of their great<br />

spiritual teachings. You wrote the Upanishads, you wrote the<br />

Bible, you wrote the Torah, you wrote the Bhagavad-Gita, you are<br />

sourcing Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj and Christ<br />

and Buddha; all of them find their origin <strong>with</strong>in you. You’ve<br />

created them as they are to remind you from time to time that<br />

you’re really only pretending this all. That you’re really having a<br />

very elaborate dream, but you are the dreaming dreamer.<br />

To become the awakened dreamer, you get to a place where you’re<br />

not asking anymore questions, when you’ve stopped searching,<br />

when you’ve called off the search and when you just say yes to<br />

what is; then you’re the awakened dreamer because you’re not<br />

going to be awakening from the dream as much as you’re going to<br />

be awakening to the dream–very different. Just like lucid<br />

dreaming. In lucid dreaming you awaken to the idea that, “Oh,<br />

I’m just having a dream.” That’s what enlightenment is.<br />

WIZARD: That’s when it gets fun.<br />

CHUCK HILLIG: Oh, yes, then you’re having fun <strong>with</strong> it.<br />
