Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
KATIE DAVIS: I would like to say something about that. All lack
is in the pain gap of separation from the magnificence that you
truly are and the false ego-body limitation. Everyone wants to let
go of fear, but very few really take a look at desire. Again time
separates the desire/fear duality. For instance, happiness and
sadness depend upon one another for their definitive existence.
Those dualities cycle back and forth on the same continuum
within time; whereas joy is transcendental and therefore free of
the cycling in time. Pure, calm joy is ever present.
The desire to know who you are with a group of people that
similarly have that same single pointed focus is really beautiful
and very supportive; such as in Satsang. In the end, it will be seen
that everything is just happening by itself and there is such
simplicity in that. You could even say that the inquiry is an
adventure; not knowing what is appearing and being able to live
or be the spontaneity.
Even before wondering what we desire … who desires? The
question “what” is objective. The question “who” is subjective.
Turn the mind's attention within and with innocent curiosity,
inquire, notice and realize.
TRIP: I'm a cage rattler, so I've got a question for you that
concerns about three billion people here on planet Earth. You
write, "Children learn to pray to a separate God that is reduced to
a mental concept that requires a leap of faith." Now that's about
half the planet. "This is a leap that some may not make." You're
right. What of the ones that make the leap of faith into the concept
of a separate God, are they inevitably suffering as well?
KATIE DAVIS: Well yes, because of the separation; that is, if they
are already attaching and separating. They may not be conscious
of it and I am not saying that there is anything wrong with faith,
because it is that devotion that eventually feeds longing and the
curiosity to look within. By awakening, we realize directly that the
divine is intimately within and inseparable from our deepest
essence. Are children suffering? As long as there is this
