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

And I think one thing that actually happens, and I've watched this<br />

in people around me, sometimes when somebody has a significant<br />

shift, because of that clarity they feel like now they know<br />

everything, and it's almost like, I think it can happen that because<br />

we have this lifelong pattern of wanting to think we know, or<br />

having a set of ideas that we can make reference to that feel<br />

reliable, then when awakening happens, I think sometimes just<br />

because that pattern is there, there can be a tendency to want to<br />

trade the old ideas for a whole bunch of new ones. And I did that<br />

to some extent, and maybe I still do it. But there's just been a lot<br />

of letting go of that whole thing, the needing to know anything,<br />

and it's very restful.<br />

WIZARD: Right, that's very well said.<br />

WIZARD: This is a good conversation.<br />

JAN FRAZIER: I'm enjoying it.<br />

WIZARD: This is very real and honest.<br />

TRIP: Okay. <strong>The</strong>re's so many things that you say that are just so<br />

fresh for me that I love. For example, here's one, you say, "Ego<br />

was everything that interferes <strong>with</strong> my awareness of the deeper<br />

reality". I love that.<br />

JAN FRAZIER: Ego, okay.<br />

TRIP: As everything that interferes <strong>with</strong> your awareness of the<br />

deeper reality. That was cool.<br />

JAN FRAZIER: Yes, yes.<br />

TRIP: And then as far as what somebody can do to enjoy this<br />

fabulous awakening or awareness that you enjoy, there's only two<br />

things someone can do, and I agree <strong>with</strong> that, you say it's to yearn,<br />

to yearn for it, and to be in the company of one so established.<br />
