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

MATT KAHN: Absolutely, and I feel like on this journey where<br />

I'm just going <strong>with</strong> the flow, at the same time at the end of this<br />

lifetime I'm going to look back and say, I was given a heart, I<br />

followed it, and every decision, even when sometimes in some<br />

circles it may not be popular, and for other people it brought great<br />

relief, which happens a lot more times than not, which I'm<br />

thankful for.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a school of thought that says there's emptiness, there's<br />

only emptiness, and we harp on that much that it causes us to<br />

almost have this disdainful relationship <strong>with</strong> form, which creates a<br />

very difficult spiritual identity to really be able to see through. It<br />

takes a lot of sincerity to be able to overcome that level. Whereas<br />

discovered was nothing but love, and it wasn't the kind of love that<br />

you feel when you get your needs met, it wasn't the kind of love<br />

you want when life goes your way. It was a kind of love that<br />

includes and embraces everything <strong>with</strong> equality, <strong>with</strong> absolutely<br />

no personal will to be in charge of doing that. And it's just when<br />

life takes over from that point forward, one of the ironic things<br />

that I've seen is that when someone really is truly expressing, and<br />

I'll use your words, expressing the living reality of that marriage,<br />

then often times they are being brought to almost exist as a living<br />

contradiction of what previous ideas have defined as what this is<br />

all really about. Because that emptiness that explores itself in<br />
