real of a life time

Most of my teachers are from the Gelupa school of . There is a lot of work on the mind and intellectual play and exploration of reality itself, using language and pure logic, along with various techniques of . It's a gradual process as the mind is familiarized with another way of seeing things and, hopefully, the correct way.

So it is a process that takes several lifetimes, but if within a lifetime one can see gradual change… You see a gradual opening of the heart and loosening of the bonds of egocentricity and a movement towards altruism. Not that you can make that kind of a giant leap. But as you start to move in that direction, your energy starts to move out. You feel a totally different environment inside and outside. The world changes as your mind changes.

Now the other aspect of mind—the wisdom aspect—has its own voyage to take. You start to realize that perhaps the absolute reality, the concrete reality that our senses tell us is out there in the air, maybe isn't so concrete after all. It is in a state of constant fluidity. So again these things you take step by step, little by little. The taste of it starts to intoxicate your being, your mind, your action, your thoughts, your feelings.

No, no. It's a peculiar thing. Because people aren't actors. They think something different. It is the same way, I suppose, as I don't really know what it's like to be a jet pilot. So I project what that would be like. Essentially, it is a job—one that has both a and a very technical aspect to it. Sometimes it's drudgery. Sometimes it's great fun. I must do what I do. In this lifetime. Other lifetimes there are other jobs. You have your job, these guys all around you have their jobs, that are just as interesting to them as mine is to me.
