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

been at this for about five years, for a while this eluded me. But<br />

you say, "To realize the Truth of one's self, one must ask questions<br />

from the point of view of the nondual". Why and how is that true?<br />

ROBERT WOLFE: Well one of the things I think that it's possible<br />

to do is to come at this matter as an experiment, in other words<br />

you can consider the possibility that the actuality of our existence<br />

is that there is no separation, no division in Truth, all of the<br />

separations and divisions are mind-made, manmade. So you can<br />

take that as a proposition that there is no division, no separation<br />

in Truth, and apply that to what arises in your daily experience.<br />

And look at things from the standpoint of there being this one<br />

unbroken movement, and see if that doesn't have an effect on how<br />

life is lived, and how it's perceived.<br />

So basically I think you can just experiment <strong>with</strong> that if you want,<br />

and see how that relates to the so-called difficulties and problems<br />

that arise in life, are these difficulties and problems the<br />

consequence of our seeing things from a dualistic perspective?<br />

And then if we switch our perspective and see things from a<br />

nondual perspective, what becomes of those problems and<br />

difficulties.<br />

So I think even from an experimental standpoint, you can<br />

approach this matter.<br />

TRIP: Agreed.<br />

WIZARD: So from that point of view, then lineages and things of<br />

that nature are of the mind.<br />

ROBERT WOLFE: Everything is of the mind.<br />

WIZARD: Yes.<br />

TRIP: We often speak of being on a spiritual path, I've often<br />

spoken about that person's on a spiritual path, or I'm on a spiritual<br />

path. But there is no path, is there?<br />
