Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
way to try to talk about a oneness. There's also a poetic way to try
to talk about a whole. It's like we can keep playing these language
games.
TRIP: Yes. Most of the people that are… you guys charm in any
time you want. Anybody here has anything they want to ask
Benjamin, you go for it, or if you have a comment.
FEMALE VOICE: I have something.
TRIP: Why don't you ask your question on the air?
FEMALE VOICE: When I drop below the neck and I get out of my
head, I notice there's this impulse to move to some strange
behaviors. So I'm standing over there, and have this impulse to
just come down here and stroke your leg. And I'm thinking how
can I go out in the world and really allow that to happen? I mean,
I could have done it right now, but there's this judgment of I don't
want to put him off of his discussion, but if I just let myself go I
would have literally just been rubbing your leg right now.
BENJAMIN SMYTHE: Well that would be part of the discussion.
So it's just that fearlessness, but there's also reality that you might
go out into the street and you might see someone you want to start
kissing, and they might call the cops. So there's that balance like
playing with it. Seemingly I can't do everything I want to do,
because I feel like I just wander around and hold everyone's face
for a while, and just like, oh my God, you're so beautiful. But then
you have to have that time and place where it's like the ability to
come in and out and play, and so just trust yourself but also pay
attention. I mean the rules of society, so you bend them but you
don't try to… what I mean, you play, and you have to play. Like
there's not an answer, there's not some formula for how to live,
like you're it, and he's it, and she's it. It's just trusting yourself
enough, and then when somebody has a problem be like, oh, I'm
just exploring, I apologize, like clean up the mess. But it's very
subtle; it doesn't have to be so extreme. And my leg's sore, so go…
no I'm just kidding.
