Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
it seems like a double-edged sword to me, what do you guys think,
because you guys are on it all the time?
WIZARD: I love it, it is Satsang. I can have it at home with
friends around the world, and Stephen Covey said something that
I really like, none of us is as smart as all of us. And yet, the
circumspection from so many different points of view that like ten
blind men touching the elephant and describing a different thing,
but all together you get the picture of the elephant. The
circumspection is good.
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: A great expression of oneness, Wizard.
For me, I feel the Facebook is an opportunity to just share Satsang
the way we're doing right now, you just put it out into the universe

and then there's a distraction. But if there's no doer, and it's all
just happening by itself, then existence again is acting in

therefore resting in the silence of who we are.
WIZARD: Yes.
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: Buddha pointed to the emptiness. So
that place, thoughts rise and fall, and participate on Facebook,
participate in relationships. And one's practice is to watch the
thoughts without engaging that them, that's called meditation, and
then eventually just to keep your attention on awareness itself, and
let everything happen by itself, because it's already happening by
itself, and who needs to judge it, control it, or change it; only the
