Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
now seems like, for example, we were in this gathering, there were
35 people there. 35 people were to share an intense love with each
other, and we able to do it without using any like gods, people did
say god, or whatever, but there wasn't this labeling thing going on.
It's like we almost seemed to be evolving now beyond labeling, and
to be able to collectively share without this two-dimensional thing
that we've been doing for so long. It seems like right now, this

an object we become so attached to, we miss out on the fact that
everyone is our neighbor even if they don't agree with us.
TRIP: I agree. But something does happen when, for example, if
you go into a situation, let's say you've got new neighbors or
