Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
TRIP: No, I'm just saying that before that so-called self that
everyone identifies as themselves actually kicks in, the decision is
already made. So you don't even need to proceed with the pretend
game that you're a decision maker.
WIZARD: So everything is unfolding.
TRIP: It's already decided.
WIZARD: Is unfolding as it will.
TRIP: Yes. And whether it's decided by your subconscious, gray
matter in your brain, without your participation, or whether it's
decided already by an indescribable reality we can't call, put a
name on, and don’t really matter. This choosing decider is actually
a fiction; you're pretending that you're making decisions.
WIZARD: That's right.
TRIP: Right, Ilona?
ILONA CIUNATE: Yes. I figure that. Once I wanted to go for
holiday, and I really did not want to go to see my parents because
every time you go it's the same, I wanted to go somewhere else
[Laughs]. It took me three days, three days, I thought to bring
them somewhere else as well, meet them in a nice place. And for
three days day and night I was searching for flights, I was looking
everywhere. I was getting really frustrated, but the choice was
already made, I had to go home and see them at home. So I was
struggling and fighting with myself, and wanting to do something
else until I realized, of course, the choice is made, why am I
fighting it? Go with what feels right, right Now. Because the heart
knows, it always knows.
I have this little rule, I used to have, it says if it's not yes, then it's a
no, and nothing in between. You know when it's a yes, and if you
don't feel that yes, of course it's a no. So following that, you get
what your heart wants, not what your mind thinks that you want.
