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

ILONA CIUNATE: I've no idea to be honest; it did fall into my lap.<br />

One day I've got a blog and it was called marked eternal, I didn't<br />

think of that really to be honest. Yes. So I really did not care<br />

about a name at the time, and it was just carrying on writing stuff,<br />

which is why much more important than what's the name of it. I<br />

can say maybe to do something <strong>with</strong> tattoos, but that would be<br />

creating a story about it, the fact is I got it <strong>with</strong> the name. So that's<br />

it, I don't know what that means.<br />

TRIP: Well that's fine. Okay, now one of the people on your blog<br />

spot, it was a gentleman whose name I can't recall, but he was<br />

talking about the difference between classical liberation and<br />

liberation unleashed. Is there some difference between what you<br />

think people would perceive as classical liberation, and the<br />

liberation that you're offering, the method that you have?<br />

ILONA CIUNATE: Okay. We're focusing on a single moment,<br />

crossing that gateless gate. We call that liberation because that<br />

word is quite common and people know what we're talking about,<br />

we can say its enlightenment. Of course, it's just as word pointing<br />

to something, and it's like a word that calls deep inside people to<br />

come here. Once they come here, and once they cross the line,<br />

then the word liberation transforms and it becomes something<br />

completely different, it's not the end, it's not the complete<br />

liberation that normally people expect. And in a classical way it's a<br />

complete freedom, this is the beginning of the complete freedom.<br />

So the word liberation we just call that moment, that conversation,<br />

where the things happen. And I'm really not very well educated in<br />

classical enlightenment, and Advaita, or any other groups and<br />

theories. I don't know much, I only know how to make that click<br />

in human thinking.<br />

TRIP: Well you're fortunate [Laughs]. None of us here, except for<br />

Paul, are very well educated, he's read up on everything, but the<br />

rest of us here are…<br />

PAUL NAGY: And you probably haven't missed much, don't allow<br />

anybody to put you down about that.<br />
