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

interest in human relationship I can see, and also you seem to<br />

want to give back through your teachings and your personal<br />

connections <strong>with</strong> others. I regret I was unable to read your book<br />

as I could not download it onto my iPad, but Richard, I have stolen<br />

a strand of your hair and I've run it through my proprietary DNA<br />

personality decoder.<br />

RICHARD YOUNG: I see, I see.<br />

TRIP: And I've identified the following three personas of Richard<br />

Young. Are you ready?<br />

RICHARD YOUNG: I am ready.<br />

TRIP: All right. <strong>The</strong> Richard that is closest to your heart has<br />

taken his stand on the ground of being, that Richard is your<br />

Facebook persona, a deep submariner resting motionless at the<br />

bottom of oceanic awareness setting off periodic pings into the<br />

nothingness <strong>with</strong>out concerns about the forms that show up on the<br />

radar. That's the cage rattler I just spoke about.<br />

RICHARD YOUNG: I love that guy.<br />

TRIP: <strong>The</strong>n there's the all-creed welcoming mystic Christian<br />

Richard who wraps his arms around his fellow seekers and<br />

welcomes them to come on, let's all draw closer to God. And<br />

finally there's the teacher counseling motivational Richard<br />

reaching out to clients and young people <strong>with</strong> the promise that<br />

they too can transform their lives through predictable practices if<br />

only they'll open their hearts and minds. Beyond that my crystal<br />

ball grows dim, Richard, but in the darkening haze [Laughs] I see<br />

an integrative approach to your counseling practice, and a wife<br />

and kids on the lawn calling out to you as your balloon floats off to<br />

Oz.<br />

So, Richard, what's my BS meter reading?<br />
