Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
became very solid, it felt like very tangible. And everything that
once seemed solid suddenly dissipated into almost a vapor like
state of existence to where you didn't really want to give it any
more attention, like when you're in a car driving through a cloud,
it didn't really have that sense of stability, or stableness, or reality.
And so that's really the only way that I can make any sense of it,
and Now it's just recognizing that it's all just happening, and
there's really no doer of anything.
WIZARD: Sometimes while I'm driving a car, I'm absolutely still,
the car is still, and everything else is moving.
NICK GANCITANO: Yes, exactly.
WIZARD: That's an affirmation. [Laughs]
TRIP: Nick, I know that your teaching has been heavily influenced
by Ramana Maharshi, and from what I've seen of it, everything
that I've read of it, there's really no difference in the content, is
that correct? I don't see any difference in your teaching from
Ramana Maharshi's, would you agree with that?
NICK GANCITANO: I would say yes, the basic principles would
lie in the same direction, maybe certain analogies, or parables,
perhaps would be different, but basically streamlined in the same
direction, yes.
TRIP: And have you completed your book?
NICK GANCITANO: The book, yes, the first book has been
completed; a second one is now being worked on. The first one is
going to be with Watkins coming out in I believe it's the fall of this
year. And so, yes. That's more of a question, answer type of a
format. We'll send you a copy when it's been decided.
TRIP: Thank you. And also tell us about nickgancitano.com, and
also The Self-Inquiry Center?
