Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
TRIP: Yes, so there were 500, 600, 700 people there, and in some
of the rooms there are 150 people or whatever. And I was
wondering, or this brings it up, is it really true that well-balanced
people tend to abide as That more often than say imbalanced
people? Or is it really actually easier to be a little crazy and live
the Truth, because the Truth is so counterintuitive, and so wild, I
think, a crazy personality might actually give you a leg up. And as
I looked around this room in the nonduality conference, and I
made a comment while Jeff Foster was speaking and he thought it
was stupid, and I think he made a little fun of me. But I asked the
people in the room, I said, like how many of you right now feel like
you actually have been blessed with awakening to the beautiful
Truth of who you are, and you don't feel like you need to like
necessarily learn something but rather celebrate it, and affirm it,
and others, or whatever. And like eight people sheepishly raised
their hands. And the other 110 didn't, and the other 110 were all
these really well-balanced people, that get up in the morning and
go to their jobs, and they're organised, and their houses are clean,
and everything.
GREG GOODE: How would you know they're well-balanced?
TRIP: Well, they just looked by the way they were dressed, and
then I spoke to them afterwards, and everything, and you get to
know them a little bit. But I don't know, it's almost like if you're
well-balanced, it's almost like you're really heavily invested in the
illusions of pretending that you're in charge of making money and
running your family, and blah, blah, blah.
WIZARD: How could you tell, really?
TRIP: A lot of the people that seemed to be awakened in a very
rapid way and then become established, don't run what looks like
normal lives.
WIZARD: I'm not normal.
TRIP: You're not normal, how about you, Greg?
