Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
TRIP: I went through your website and we’ve read your book and
looked at some of the audio interviews that have been done of you
and so that’s had an impact on how we’re going to structure our
Satsang with you today.
I just wanted to start off by saying a few things about you that I
think the Wizard shares with me. I feel you are a realized sage. I
want to acknowledge that because I want people to realize that
there are ordinary human beings walking around that have
realized the Truth of who they are at a very deep level as you have
and it’s just beautiful. There’s a gentleness to you that is
wonderful. A humility, I feel that you’re not identified with your
role as a celebrated spokesperson for non-duality. I’ve watched
you at the conference and when someone gives you a somewhat
silly question or maybe you encounter a difficult personality, I feel
your first inclination is compassion, it’s to help someone clarify a
misunderstanding rather than demonstrate some superior
understanding of your own; and that’s so refreshing.
I’ve read a lot of stuff and I’ve been paying attention now for
nowhere near as long as you have, but I’ve been paying very close
attention and for me, your book, The Transparency of Things,
took me down the royal road of existence in a way I’ve never been
taken down before. It was unbelievable.
RUPERT: It’s true.
[Full laughter]
I’m happy to hear that.
TRIP: Oh! My gosh. I’m almost through with that part of it, but
when I met you I really liked you. We listened to you talk at the
non-duality conference but when we read your book I think we
both fell in-love with you. [Laughs] But it’s still true that you’re
easy to love and I think that’s a great teaching in itself. It’s not
that we fell in love with your Rupert spiritness; it’s just that
Rupert’s spirit is dissolved as an obfuscating personality and that
creates the space for people, for love to flow out of them and to
share with you.
