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

happen is, it's not trust as such, you're not trusting life, but there's<br />

such a strong concept that life is going wrong, and life isn't going<br />

to go your way if you don't control it. And something that I do<br />

notice in a lot of people around me that I'm talking to it there's a<br />

change from that thinking life's going to go wrong, to like it's not<br />

that they're trusting in life, it's just they've not got that dynamic of<br />

life is bad, life is against me, it's beginning to be seen that they're<br />

in the stream. Buddhists call it stream entrance, like when you<br />

have your first awakening, or this is your being begins to sing to<br />

these teachings, you enter the stream, and then once you're in the<br />

stream, there's no way out of the stream, you just down flow.<br />

I actually think that that's what everyone's life story is, is that<br />

they're waking up, that's what the whole of life is… is the story of<br />

liberation. But I'm just talking about the dynamic of when you<br />

first see that there's nobody here, or you have that awakening<br />

experience. And so I'm beginning to see that that dynamic of<br />

knowing that all of this, or, it's not trusting, it's the removal of the<br />

idea that life is going the wrong way, that you're going to the<br />

wrong teachers, or that you've got to listen to this teacher to get<br />

liberated. It seeing that life is doing its perfect dance, its perfect<br />

liberation story.<br />

WIZARD: Yes.<br />

And I'm noticing that more and more <strong>with</strong> a lot more people I<br />

speak to that this comes up again, and again. Like I speak to a lot<br />

of people from A Course in Miracles, and it's very predominant in<br />

those teachings, and in Advaita.<br />

WIZARD: It's that acceptance or Faith that trumps the knowledge<br />

and intellectual thing, just the acceptance.<br />

LISA CAIRNS: Yes.<br />

TRIP: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Wizard</strong> over here is a wizard because he's able to<br />

perceive the miracles that are already happening all around us.<br />

And you're a wizard too, I can smell that on you. And you perceive<br />
