MORGAN CARAWAY: And fully realized. there's the idea that
God is asleep, but God is completely awake-ness.
TRIP: Hey, speaking of Ramana Maharshi, he's the gold standard
by which many get their nondual wisdom affirmed. And by the
way you taught me something in your book, and I spent a lot of
time pouring through this information and it wasn't anything new,
but it was just, I don't know, it was you and the way you said it in
your book, and where I'm at right now. But I got something for
the first time reading it, and what's interesting is these two points
you are in contradiction with Ramana Maharshi, which is pretty
damn amazing. And that is that Ramana said two things, he said
that we have apparently a single act of free will, which is that
which we choose to identify with, okay. And the second thing he
said, and I notice he said that everything is predetermined. He
said those words, everything is predetermined, and those words
came out of his mouth. You say, free will and predetermination
are in reference to a supposed independent individual, and you're
right. There can be no predetermination if there's no individual to
be predetermined.
MORGAN CARAWAY: Right, nor can there be freewill.
TRIP: So Ramana didn't necessarily have everything right there.
WIZARD: Thy will doesn't suffer the dilemma of apparent choice,
it just is. So accept the Now is the utter acceptance. Now always
already accepts everything.
MORGAN CARAWAY: Right, unconditionally. Because the Now,
God, whatever you want to call it, is everything.
WIZARD: Identify with a movie, you get fooled into the dilemma
of all these apparent choices, identify with Now, the movie's
perfect.
MORGAN CARAWAY: It's effortless and it's just flowing.
