giggle inside every time I say it, but I guess as I said yesterday you
have to use words. Enlightenment is a state of constancy, a state
of Is-ness. So if someone thinks that they're enlightened,
sometimes what they really need to pay attention to is are they
able to be constant as things shift and change. Or is there a sense
of enlightenment dependent on the environment being a certain
way, like being in a particular inner circle, or being in a particular
place of peace? Or can things shift and change, can everyone
abandon them, can they be accused of things they didn't do, can
they lose all of their money? Can the world shift and change and
that constancy remain? And that monk in that story definitely
demonstrates that constancy.
WIZARD: I have a similar experience in my life where I thought a
child was mine for 30 some years, and then discovered that it
wasn't. It's quite a trip.
TRIP: So I've got a question about that, and I'm asking it because

of which you speak has performed the one called Trip. And I was
in jail for a couple of days back last summer, and at one point
when… I couldn't believe that this woman that I loved had brought
this down on me really, it felt unfair, and I just broke down and I
just wept, I wept for about 20 minutes solid. But during the
weeping there was a seeing [Laughs] of the whole scene that would
not have been there in the past that brought great comfort, and it
contextualized the entirety of it such that it didn't like harm this
one; it wasn't harmful, it was weeping, but there was still an
underlying joy of being there. So would you agree that even this
constancy is a subtle thing that transpires underneath the still
ordinary human emotions that are going to play out every day? Or
