“I glanced at her and took my glasses off. They were still singing. I glanced at her and took off my glasses. They were still singing. They buzzed like a locust on the coffee table and then ceased.

“And when we sit here and we sit in a circle and we share breath and we share truth. We speak and we listen, a mysterious speech, and the listening to the speech begin to mix and interact and transform, and who is it now is it the speaker affecting the listener or is it the you the way you're deeply listening that evokes this speech out of me I have no idea. and it transforms these once separating separate energies and entities into one woven being for a minute in time.

“Ted you're cross from me and in the fourth chariot is you the listener we make a circle right now. Let's play at the circle and so as you take the fourth seat listener we form a circle. And when we sit still. when we become still in a circle and stillness grows in us. An energy, an energy of spirit can fill us. And until we surrender and surrender into silence, until we surrender into a deep stillness and silence. We'll remain on the choppy surface of the mind. And we'll just bob along there instead. But as our breath goes deep and long and quiet. We go beyond thought. Are breathing, our breath goes beyond choppy surface of mine that stills we lengthen our breath we follow it all the way out. We go beyond thought underneath confusion past old sticky fears and even doubt all grows quiet they all settle down.”

You know, and the winning makes you small when you win like that.”

You know, this hierarchical patriarchal fallacy and I know it's a fallacy because I know some of these eyes on high in this world pretty well to know who. Fate, you know, with all those buried inadequacies, so I want to see us animate this world in a whole new way, and we have things that we do here that creates an animation and hopefully enough of these animators here.

“And that's the great big myth in my opinion, and many others who pursue this path of understanding. It's the great lie of a western white civilized world that there actually is an eye called my body here because I live in a house that gives me a lot of privacy with small, you know, windows and shutters to blind everything that makes me feel it. Who I am is something cut off from everybody and everything else, and it's out there, and I exchange with that. But the sense of we, when I feel who I am beyond I, is I as a part of we a relational field. Who I am is who I am through this way of talking and looking at you right now and feeling you who I am is myself through that. This is me through our exchange of becoming myself again in a new way right now. I feel like me with you.”

On Sir Nightfield, I has all those feelings all the time, and I am always going to feel inadequate, and I try to get rid of an adequacy like I try to get rid of my right arm all the time. Keeps coming back and We're always inadequate because we're shooting for perfection because we reject ordinary worlds. We don't know how to be in him and among them. We don't know how a base of good enough. So when I have this eye, what I don't know is the eye will always, always be inadequate because I is just part of something larger than I.

“Way low on the scale, but when you choose a fear that you're worthy of and you really get one you're worthy of, it takes you somewhere. It takes you on a journey that you would have never chosen to go on, and before you know it, you know, you have trouble worth having. You have a challenge worth facing. You have a dilemma worth wrestling with that makes you more and brings something out of you that you didn't even know was in you. That's the function of fear. And when that happens, as you know, in your own body, from your own lived experiences here, that fear turns to excitement. And that's the alchemical force. That fear is really unprocessed and unformulated excitement.”

“The hardest thing about fear is when you don't understand that you're afraid. You're scared you don't even know. I remember when I didn't even know I was afraid. I didn't know that was what fear really was, but the slack of oxygen moving through the body for one thing, this constriction in us and this tightness, this holding, this holding on, but I didn't know it was a doorway. And here you're asking about, you know, these early times of gateway. I remember the first time I was up at that robe scourge. I was so afraid of fear. Was it John Kennedy quote anything to fear is fear itself like it's a quaint cliche that's so true. I remember being up on a catwalk and I remember how afraid I was about being afraid. I remember starting to shake and I was, you know, ashamed and afraid. And then I realized, I mean, I am really afraid right now. But I wasn't afraid about it anymore, and I wasn't ashamed of it. I was just like really afraid, like, yeah, were you high in the air, so you're afraid, and I didn't have some impossible task in mind anymore.”

But, you know, the work of the hero is to embrace a relationship to uncertainty to understand that the more you grow your capacity for uncertainty and complexity, the more you have ability to navigate terrains in whole new ways when the uncertainty is a doorway, not a problem to be eliminated, which is again this unconscious wedding to an impossible task.”

“They can't bear their own imperfections, you mean? Yeah, I just had a conversation with probably one of the smartest people I ever met in my life. This little punk is twenty four, and he's way, way, way smarter than me. He's got an intellect and a wit that just makes me want to drop my jaw. And he suffers from perfectionism. The reason we suffer is because he's after something that doesn't exist in nature. So it doesn't exist. An ideal is something that you strive for. But this has no landing, you know, a beautiful woman you strive for. She's a destined, not the destination. We seek perfection like it's a destination. And it doesn't exist, but we don't know that.”

“When we turn it into a thing when we objectify a currency, it becomes this static thing. We call in religion a false god, an idol, because we're worshiping a static structure. Those statues, they don't say anything. They rigidify, you know, when you have a false sideline rigidifies and it's dull, it has no life in it. So when you think of like investment, right, it's very different than paying a fee versus providing an investment that offers a yield with no guarantee. But we're all looking for the guarantee. Yeah, but tell me the one with the least risk. Oh my God, yeah. Can I go that way? Well, in the end, it becomes the final danger because of the constriction. Oh, and now you've accumulated great wealth. Well, I guess now you better start protecting it and separating yourself off from the rest of everybody else. They don't take it from you.”

What it means to have currency? What does it mean to be current, you know, and to be able to obtain a currency? Any kind of valuable currency is the way to exchange it, not to collect it, but to exchange it. And when we have a lively, a life-giving exchange, I can give you a current of my poetry and you can give me a current of your lived experience of something and we exchange and it holds value to the two of us.”
