Rob SanchezHOST
Thanks for dropping some insight there.
Rob SanchezHOST
I'm curious if you're familiar with Anthony DeMello's Who is a Jesuit priest and psychotherapist.
Rob SanchezHOST
And he wrote a book actually called Awareness, the Perils and Opportunities of Reality.
Rob SanchezHOST
And his whole deal is that essentially people are sleepwalking through reality and that it's not an additive thing.
FleurHOST
Okay, I've just got a little parable I'm going to read.
FleurHOST
This is called The Song of the Bird by Tony DeMello.
FleurHOST
A man found an eagle's egg and he put it in a nest of a barnyard hen.
FleurHOST
The egglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them.
Jay AbbasiHOST
I think that's important to really understand.
Jay AbbasiHOST
And I think it was Anthony DeMello who said this.
Jay AbbasiHOST
He's the author of Awareness, one of my favorite authors.
Jay AbbasiHOST
He goes, I'm just doing my dance.
John PulleynHOST
And it's also just the way things are.
John PulleynHOST
I'm going to be reading quite a bit this morning from a guy named Anthony de Mello, who you've heard of before.
John PulleynHOST
A Jesuit priest, no longer alive, but he was born in India, born in Goa, actually.
John PulleynHOST
And I gather that at some point he, even as a Catholic priest, took up a Buddhist practice.
Justin Chandler PetersGUEST
And the moment we can stop and ask the question, why, what's that about? There's a moment we can finally start to change.
Justin Chandler PetersGUEST
You know, Anthony DeMello, this guy that wrote The Power of Awareness, phenomenal book, just incredibly, just so wise and so many gold gems.
Justin Chandler PetersGUEST
But he talks about how The first step to any transformation in the entire world is through awareness.
Justin Chandler PetersGUEST
But we can only create awareness by creating the space.
Tim FerrissGUEST
It's not for everybody, but it's good medicine for the right people at the right time.
Tim FerrissGUEST
So Awareness by Anthony de Mello.
Tim FerrissGUEST
And I have a full shelf of this book in my guest bedroom in my house.
Tim FerrissGUEST
It's all the same book? Yeah.
Kevin MillerHOST
And it's so difficult to say.
Kevin MillerHOST
I think it was Anthony DeMello, which is a guy I read a lot of.
Kevin MillerHOST
And he said, this emotion is whatever sadness.
Kevin MillerHOST
Sadness is visiting me.
20 MINS LATER
Kevin MillerHOST
is focusing less on yourself, which again, seems to be counterintuitive.
Kevin MillerHOST
I'm seeking happiness.
Kevin MillerHOST
What on earth can I do to make me happy? Can I go see a movie? Can I have a drink? Can I have a smoke? Can I have sex? What can I do? Those things aren't bad, but if you want to be happy, you're saying go help other people, which is interesting because that's been an Interesting aspect back to Anthony DeMello, which I could reference him on just everything, but him talking about, we don't do anything selflessly, not truly everything we do.
Kevin MillerHOST
We get something out of it, just own that.
Tim HayesHOST
Um, I had some difficulty getting Wednesdays and Thursdays podcasts uploaded, but they're both up now.
Tim HayesHOST
On Wednesday, I was reading from the transcript of the talk about Anthony DeMello's book, Awareness, and yesterday I spent most of the time just reading from the book, The Impersonal Life, by Joseph S. Benner.
Tim HayesHOST
And please feel free to ask a question or make a comment or provide an answer.
Tim HayesHOST
And in lieu of that, I'll return to the reading.
Tim HayesHOST
They're the ones who are getting their tiny little gnat self, their ideas about themselves out of the way and letting the flow of life and creation move through them like an open conduit.
Tim HayesHOST
So I had a bizarre thought this morning as I was listening to and reading some other stuff and listening to the book by Anthony DeMello.
Tim HayesHOST
I had the thought, you know, one of these days I'm going to have to do a two hour all the same, I guess.
Tim HayesHOST
And I just laughed at it because I don't really need to do that.
David HanscomHOST
So anyway, there's a book.
David HanscomHOST
I don't know if you are familiar with this book called The Way to Love by Anthony DeMello.
Howard SchubinerGUEST
I've seen it.
