Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
RICHARD YOUNG: You probably should talk to the people who
come to the classes and see how they balance all of that, because
I'm always pointing inside of them to look for and find and
discover the divinity which they are, trying to take what has always
been external for them, and help them realize that it's truly
internal. But it's a process and we all have to go through it in our
own way and at our own speed. I've become pretty adept I think
over the years in speaking in language that people can identify
with, or understand, at whatever stage they're at. Being a
psychotherapist I have to do that a lot in therapy, because it does
no good to share a Truth with someone if they have no way of
understanding what it is you're saying. So you try to start where
they're at, and use language they're comfortable with, and then
gently, sometimes gently and sometimes not so gently, you try to
lead them forward to the next stage of understanding so that
there's a growth process that you're helping to facilitate. So if
you're standing at the end of the road looking back and saying,
okay, watch out for this ditch over here, and this is smooth going
here, so you can go a little quicker. What you're trying to do is
help chart out for them the journey as you remember it, and as you
walked it, and you do so in language that they understand and that
you used and understood at those stages as well.
TRIP: I get it. That's what I-thought you were about, because you
tell your students, for example I listened to one of your talks with
your students.
RICHARD YOUNG: You really did your homework, didn't you,
Trip?
TRIP: Oh, yeah man, I spent days. You tell your students that
their contemplative inquiry into their own minds will absolute
transform them and that it transformed you. But then I've also
seen you speak on your website where you let people know that
there's really nothing they can do really to…
RICHARD YOUNG: Further more there's no such thing as
transformation.
