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

So I think the Middle-Way just felt like if I like this place where I<br />

could definitely be Scott, but Scott felt like, or Scott feels like, not<br />

the way that it used to feel, it feels much lighter. Like I love the<br />

Buddhist expression like the moon reflects on water, it's not the<br />

same sense of Scott that I had before, but yet I don't have to push<br />

away those thoughts, I don't have to sit in moments where I don't<br />

think about myself or think of my story because even when it<br />

appears it doesn't destroy the freedom. That's what I tell the<br />

Middle-Way, I hope that's not too convoluted but that’s how it<br />

showed up for me, it just started making a lot of sense. Another<br />

way of saying, it's just balance, I mean it's a way of cherishing all<br />

the viewpoints and insights but not really having some fixed way<br />

of knowing myself or knowing reality, and remaining open and<br />

free of fixed views about things in life.<br />

TRIP: That's very useful because all of us who've had a profound<br />

spiritual experience immediately grasp the fact that this ego, I,<br />

that we had thought was so solid and so who we are before, we get<br />

the grip on that, but then we tend to jump over into the<br />

nothingness camp there for a while. And we get really taken by<br />

nothing, and we often go down a road where we forget that it's not<br />

just about nothing [Laughs].<br />

SCOTT KILOBY: Right.<br />

TRIP: So, when I read your book, Living Realization, which is<br />

your e-Book, and by the way is that free or is there a charge for the<br />

e-book?<br />

SCOTT KILOBY: its $14.99, it's only downloadable as an e-book<br />

right now at www.livingrealization.org , that's how it's available<br />

right now.<br />

TRIP: Okay. I could not skip over any part of that book, I mean, I<br />

would have liked to, I had a lot of reading to do, but it is so packed<br />

full of juicy wonderful stuff I just… , I've read 15 books in the last<br />

15 weeks, and there was nothing in there that I didn't think was<br />

useful or wonderful. It was one of the most enlightening books<br />
