Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
What advice would you give to someone who has not experienced this radical shift?
Live life to the full. Live each moment as it arises, each desire, each impulse as it arises. Not what you think you should do, but simply what arises, what is there in the moment, now.
Do you have a goal in life? Does life have any meaning for you?
A goal? No. Meaning? None, other than to experience the powerful intensity of every moment.
Don’t you feel rather alone?
No, never. I am always experiencing something. I am never alone in this space.
And I guess you are never anxious.
Even the anxiety is in the background.
Do you feel empathy towards other people? Those around you?
Yes, I feel connected, for all this ‘I am’, all this manifestation is within me. Others don’t exist as ‘other’ but everything is part of this ‘I am’ that appears and disappears from one moment to the next within this thing.
