Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
just rest into that fact, rest with that. Be still with that thought that
there is helplessness. Helplessness requires surrender.
WIZARD: The mind bifurcates, that's its job.
ALBERT NAHMANI: That's right.
WIZARD: It's an insentient bifurcating machine, and the play of
consciousness is going to unfold. Thy will doesn't suffer the
dilemma of apparent choice, it just is. And the mind thinks it has
a choice and brings on that frustration, that dilemma, and you
can't change that mind, that mind's got to do that. That is the
mind’s purpose, its process, it is a biological machine. So the mind
can only surrender, that's its only remedy.
TRIP: So Albert, we've probably interviewed 80 people and more
on our show, and there have been some… well they've all been
great, but…
WIZARD: This one's perked me up [Laughs].
TRIP: Some of them are spiritual teachers that we've interviewed,
and they often don't want to claim teacher-ship or whatever,
consider themselves teachers, but I want to say you are a
particularly excellent teacher or mentor. You have a tremendous
grasp of human psychology, and you're able to get inside the
psychological issues that confront people that they're trying to
grasp all of this stuff. And so I want to recommend anyone who's
listening to you and visiting your website, and your short but
wonderful book. How do people connect with you? May they?
ALBERT NAHMANI: Yes, absolutely. Through
albertnahmani.com, there is an ask Albert a question segment
there where you can click on that, and just fire away a question
and I'll be more than happy to do my best with that. I love the
companionship of inquiring people.
