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

TRIP: And who organizes this stuff for you, do you have an<br />

assistant, do you have an organization? People pay, how does it<br />

work?<br />

MUZ MURRAY: Usually it's when I go around the UK every<br />

summer, I have a three-month workshop schedule, and then<br />

people say they would like to go to India <strong>with</strong> me. So I create the<br />

circuit on which I can take them, the most interesting places I can<br />

find.<br />

TRIP: Killer. What does it typically cost somebody to go on one of<br />

those trips?<br />

MUZ MURRAY: £995, I don't know what that is in dollars.<br />

TRIP: Couple of thousand.<br />

MUZ MURRAY: But for three weeks and all paid, all the tuition,<br />

all the travel, all the hotels, all the ashrams, etc.<br />

TRIP: That's a great deal.<br />

WIZARD: Yes, that sounds about right. When you and I and<br />

some others went there; that was about the main price.<br />

TRIP: You know, you're right about India, here's another thing<br />

you write that speaks to me. You say, "India is a land of amazing<br />

extremes, even my travels in the wilds of Africa did not prepare me<br />

for the outrageousness of India. Being there is a vital experience<br />

of life in the raw; you can see birth, life, and death actually going<br />

on in the streets. <strong>The</strong>re's none of our pre-packaged overprotective,<br />

and hidden away aspects of life there. Psychically I felt<br />

it was like stepping into a vast pool of consciousness of a totally<br />

different mental wavelength, it was an atmosphere like it must<br />

have been at the beginning of the world".<br />

WIZARD: I concur.<br />
