Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: I feel there's a certain magnetic quality
to it where if there's Maren coming in a personal sense, coming in
or needing something, when I let go of that, or when by grace it is
let go of, then it arrives effortlessly, and it just comes in the form
like you say in the beautiful reflection in the mirror of beloved
people, or friends, of some help. Where there's a need it's
automatically already met, and it already is met on the inner
planes anyway, since there is really no need, and its unspeakable
and the divine. It's absolute, it has no preference, it has no needs,
it doesn't know of any lack.
WIZARD: That is Truth. That is the essence of Truth. It's
beautiful.
TRIP: I feel kinship with you because your self-perception is not
of being a sage, you see yourself as being an ordinary person, and
you also don't feel qualified to teach anybody anything, and I feel
the same way. And then you look out there and you see people like
Nisargadatta, who's very fierce in his conviction that he is the one
and the all. And so people are attracted to him because of that
ferocity of conviction, it's contagious. But I've been attracted to
women in my life that are the service types like you are, that have
very sensitive constitutions, and tend to internalize pain and
things, and take on other people's pain. So I'm curious. It took
some courage I guess, inner courage for me, but ultimately I was
able to go ahead and make this declaration that I am that, to just
finally say, I am that, this is all there is, it is utterly magical, and
just be done with it. Did you ever consciously summon up the
courage to make that internal declaration?
MAREN SPRINGSTEEN: Yes, actually I feel the same kinship,
and it was exactly the same way. I think it happened the year after
the near death experience, I think I had been in hiding for a long
time. I so loved my family, I so loved my friends, and for a long
time I was hiding it, and I wanted to just transmit the essence
without coming out virtually of what my beliefs are. At the time
