Introduction

[Guest guest]

Plainview, NY, 1968: Zen unlocks the mystery that in fact Reality is

Itself an Unfathomable Mystery that defies unlocking! I then found

this Mystery at the base of the teachings of Krishna, Jesus, Lao Tzu,

Chuang Tzu, Rumi, Osho, Tokusan, Milarepa, Padmasambava... the list

goes on and on. Its clarity, however, reached its pinnacle for me in the

mouna diksha (silence initiation) of my guru Ramana, who opened the way

to the mounam of Dakshinamurthi to brahman Itself. I stand now naked in

the wilderness, proclaiming loud and clear as the Big Bang Bell of

Creation

Itself that Self-realization is already utterly everyone's experience

*here

and now*! That it is the common and most paradoxic of all delusions in

how

we've consistently managed *to go out of our way* to construct the

belief

in our being otherwise!"

 

MY FATHER'S PLACE, Roslyn NY, Nov'76 (backstage): Renowned blues

singer John Hammond, meeting me for the first time and evidently

intrigued

by my performance, turned to me and said, "Who are *you*?" I replied,

smiling, "I don't know...who's *anyone*?"
