Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
So I still have a bifurcating mind, and I still judge, but I guess one
of the reasons why I want to create a platform on the Internet, via
a website where avant-garde sages like you would have brief
videos that they would share. The way I feel like I would want to
kind of make the selections of the people that would be sharing on
the website, is that the reason I was so turned on by Ramana
Maharshi, and by all the avant-garde sages that we have on our
show, and by my friend the Wizard here and by you, is that those
who seem really authentically in love with love itself, or with
Being, always seem to take every opportunity to redirect the
attention that is naturally poured on them by people who are
wanting to share that feeling, or wanting to maybe get something
that they're not quite sure what it is, they're still not quite there

And I look out there and I see a ton, most of the people that are
out there in the spiritual world who are making money doing it, or
who are doing it for a living, if you will, they don't take every
opportunity to redirect the attention back on the person. And I
feel that's a critical thing to be done, it's a lost opportunity if you
don't use, take a mirror to people, and shine the beauty right back
at them. So do you agree with that, or is there room for any old
kind of sharing? Because it seems like there's a lot of egotistical
spiritual teaching going on around, what do you think?
EM BE: Yeah.
WIZARD: I think it's all perfect. [Laughs] That's just a little grist
for the mill, and then that's just enough, because when you're not
seeing perfection, it's a reflection and then you honor that which
you tend to judge as your teacher, yourself reflecting back to
yourself. So, where there's smooth sailing, and then there's when
it's not smooth sailing, but really in those times we learn a lot
because what's being reflected back to us. We like to place
outward on an apparent other, and there is no other.
EM BE: Right. No, Trip, during this journey, this exploration,
your intention, your passion, is your path, and it will not
