<strong>Conversations</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>Avant</strong>-<strong>garde</strong> <strong>Sages</strong><br />

In that way it hasn't changed. What has changed is my perspective<br />

of it. And watching the spontaneity, and I know you know this,<br />

watching the spontaneity is always somewhat miraculous.<br />

Because when you know that there has been no conscious<br />

planning of anything, and yet you see the perfection of what is<br />

done, you do realize that this has nothing to do <strong>with</strong> anything that<br />

seems to be an individual. It's too perfect.<br />

WIZARD: Amen.<br />

REGINA AKERS: And that has been extended from the teaching<br />

and writing, which for some reason it was more natural for me to<br />

get in touch <strong>with</strong> the spontaneity there; that has now extended<br />

it expanded from there.<br />

WIZARD: Well said.<br />

TRIP: Yes. Tell me if this is true, because it seems to me that your<br />

path has been one that's moved from what we might call a<br />

devotional path where your early passion was to be of service to<br />

God, in a very kind of moving emotional kind of way, right. And<br />

then it almost seems you've become more of a Jnani, like you've<br />

taken now the direct approach of clear seeing through inquiry,<br />

which has now established itself in your daily life. Is that true?<br />

REGINA AKERS: Yes. [Laughs] I've never heard the word Jnani<br />

before. I still perceive myself as very intellectually uneducated<br />

spiritually, so I'm always learning these new terms. But, yes, what<br />
