Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
Rupert Spira, they intellectually portray this subject so beautifully
and precisely, and I wouldn't say that's what happens here. I love
silence, I love sitting with someone in silence. And I love falling
into silence with someone so you're chatting, chatting, chatting,
and then suddenly everything just falls away and just looking, and
it's just divine. It's something I particularly enjoy. And, yes, I
would say that if I was going to say anything about my teachings,
or anything that I speak about, is it's all about the silence.
WIZARD: That's what a sage that has been an affirmation for me,
Ramana Maharshi, he said that silence was the most powerful
language.
LISA CAIRNS: Yes, it's beautiful.
TRIP: So many things.
WIZARD: I like it too. I don't mind some silence on the air
[Laughs], some folks, go oh! we've got dead airtime!
TRIP: One of the things you shared on your video that I thought
was really useful that I wanted to just mention and have you
comment on is this urge that seems to come up in people with
intellects. I won't say mine is all that sharp, but there is the urge
to keep everything straight as far as these teachings go.
LISA CAIRNS: Yes.
TRIP: I don't know, there's this intellectual need, there's a utility
there I think for a while to keep these concepts into like excellent
form, to keep them orderly but eventually it becomes an
impediment. And you spoke about that urge, that need to keep
things straight; it's almost like we feel like we have to do this
penance of totally learning and understanding these concepts but
you would say, of course not, right?
WIZARD: [Train horn sound] That's the Norfolk Southern Train.
