Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
because this is what I call fleeting samadhi, it's not something that
is so far from everybody's capacity. Once you recognize what it is
Now you can begin to immerse yourself in it and don't allow the
interruptions by all this mental movement.
TRIP: These students that you have, you call them your spiritual
heroes, I really liked that, what did you mean by that?
MUZ MURRAY: That most people need to join religion, a club, a
sect, anything to give them the feeling that they are belonging to
something or other, but through mystical consciousness goes it
alone, they don't belong to anything. These are the spiritual
heroes that are open to every kind of possible spiritual teaching or
experience without needing to be a Buddhist or a Zennist, or a
Christian, or a Muslim or whatever; these are the spiritual heroes
that go it alone.
WIZARD: So you're saying it's not a group sport.
MUZ MURRAY: No. Even those Christian monks who
transcended the religious canon were ostracized and put down
because they had gone beyond what was acceptable. And these are
the people who the church denounces, and you can be sure if the
church denounces someone, they are very interesting people to
look into.
TRIP: And then on the other side of your teaching equation there
is you, and you say, "I practice tuning in to what the guru version,
this universal teaching environment known as "God" wants me to
do. I look for the signs and listen with the heart, let go and let God
as they say, and then roll along with the unfolding of the plan.
When we can attune to that, everything flows, there's nothing else
to do but learn to surrender to the process".
WIZARD: Amen.
TRIP: Damn, that's good.
