Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
TRIP: This is as real as it gets.
PAUL NAGY: Actually always one of my touchstones that I use for
years in terms of assessing other people's teachings was what the
price tag was, and actually if there was a price tag then the
teaching wasn't worth whatever they were charging. The more
expensive it was the less it was worth.
WIZARD: What do you think about books?
ILONA CIUNATE: Oh, books are different.
PAUL NAGY: Yes, it's another problem. I know it's my vice; I
don't have any problems with that. But…
ILONA CIUNATE: The books are printed and many people are
working on that.
TRIP: It takes money to make it, right?
WIZARD: I've held off publishing my book,
PAUL NAGY: Which one?
WIZARD: Wisdom's Soft Whisper, and later The Human Gospel
of Ramana Maharshi.
TRIP: So is there anything that you would like to share, Ilona, we
love you madly, you're the quintessential avant-garde sage.
WIZARD: Yes.
ILONA CIUNATE: Okay, I want to share something with
everyone. People think for yourself, don't follow, why follow, it's
been long enough, it's time to start using that tool inside the brain,
the thinking, and first thing you need to think, where do thoughts
come from? Is there a thinker? That would be the starting
question. That's it. Thank you very much.
