In reply to the conversations about the Tao, I felt a real resonance with everybody. I also, like ex-lady (whoever she may be), bansy, ranee and others love the Tao and was drawn to it at an early age. I spent a whole season in Madhuban listening to recordings of the cello during Amrit Vela and reading the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet after Amrit Vela (another year I did the same with Pink Floyd and the Gita ... they were wonderful experiences I can tell you!). Even the fact that we're discussing it makes it un-Tao and so I don't want to move too far from it.
By making the Traveller film we wanted to give people a feeling of raw spiritual experience. What lies at the heart of all traditions that souls all over the world are searching for. By this, I don't mean wanting people to become BKs (I have never been interested in proselytising - God knows there's enough of that and I've probably done it in many lives which is why I really don't want to in this one). What I mean is giving people an experience of spirituality. I really cannot capture what I mean in words, and I do apologise for my limitation in this. But I think that's another reason we chose Tao. It cannot be captured in words. It is a way and an un-way. It is a state of being rather than a state of knowing. And I won't go on because Lao-Tze said it much better. Even Lao-Tze only spoke around the Tao and not of the Tao. So interesting! That language can only ever be a marker, or a pointer that indicates a direction. It can never capture anything absolutely.
The production office is our home address because basically Robin - like me - only has one permament address which is our family home. The email I gave you: info@saligram.com (I think) will reach him and you can ask the questions you like. I don't know what the agreements with other people are. With me, I did it for the enjoyment of doing it. I haven't received any payment nor do I ever wish to.
Also - for ex-Lady my fellow Tao appreciater - the BKWSU is my window to the divine. It is my avenue to God. I have no need to protect the BKWSU ... it has no need for protection in my view. Criticising others one will be criticised. Demeaning others one will be demeaned. After such a brief time with the BKWSU, I am sorry that you have been hurt so deeply ex-lady, as it seems. Truly I am (this is not meant to patronise, but I am limited by what I can type in words as we're not seeing each other in person). That's why I figure that whatever happens within the BKWSU happens. I can just do what I do the best I can and tread my own path.
Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
