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

could have taken one of many perspectives, one of the perspectives<br />

you could have taken in the writing of your book would have been<br />

you could have assumed your oneness in the perspective of the<br />

writer of the book, right? You could have instead have been<br />

writing for apparent other people who might gain some wisdom<br />

from the reading of your book, you could have assumed there are<br />

no other people, and simply written that book as a conversation<br />

<strong>with</strong> yourself, right? But you didn't…<br />

MORGAN CARAWAY: Right. Obviously, and I guess from the<br />

ultimate standpoint every expression is that, it's whatever you<br />

want to call it, but it's God speaking to itself, it is the divine<br />

speaking to itself. So it doesn't matter if we say me and you, or I<br />

and I, or whatever you call it, it's still that divine speaking to itself.<br />

And the book, for me, was written for seekers, it's specifically<br />

written to people who are seeking to get out of that sense of<br />

isolation and separation. <strong>The</strong> seeker can go on forever, seeking<br />

assumed that's going to bring happiness and liberation. But for<br />

me it's just seeing that… people who speak clearly on it just point<br />

out what's already present, what's already here. And we find that<br />

everything we need, everything there is, is already right here, once<br />

the ideas are put aside. But it seems like our main problem is<br />

mistaking those ideas for reality.<br />

We have a mental construct, of what's real, what's Truth, and we<br />

hold onto that, and we might make little modifications as we go,<br />

little adjustments to it. But that's still a construct, no matter how<br />

clear it is. <strong>The</strong> map is not the territory. That's part of the blessed<br />

disillusionment too, like when you're lucky enough to speak to<br />

someone who is clear on it, for me it was John Wheeler who was<br />

very helpful to me.<br />

TRIP: Right, so John was clear for you, and you must have spent<br />

some significant time in relationship <strong>with</strong> him, or still are in<br />
