ocean is still the ocean, but it has different levels, two different
things.
WIZARD: Muktananda called it the Play of Consciousness, which
was the play of all the forms and visions, all of it together was a
unified display but fundamentally it is insentient. The sentience is
in the stillness.
PAUL NAGY: Now we ask our guest.
TRIP: Well I want to ask, Robert. You had an example that
illustrated this point I feel in your book, you talk about stardust,
and you talk about how everything's made of stardust. And then
you use that analogy when you talked about how a person is…most
people are unable to grock the idea where they'll say, if I am the
observer of that tree over there, clearly I am not the tree, okay. If
you go out and talk to 99 people on the street, they're going to say,
sorry, I'm not the tree; I'm me.
ROBERT WOLFE: That's right.
TRIP: You use this example of stardust to unravel that strong
distinction that people make, and could you share that? I thought
that was good.
ROBERT WOLFE: Well I think the point that I was making there
was that all that we see comes from the same source, and from a
limited physical standpoint that source would be stellar. In other
words that all these elements that make up the earth are basically
debris from stars, from suns. So there's a commonality to all that
exists in this world, in our bodies, in the plants, the minerals, and
all, it's all essentially from that source, that stardust.
So I was just making the point that there's a commonality in all
this. We take these bodies and so called cells to be so special and
separate, and yet dust-to-dust is what it amounts to.
