Yeah, I remember meeting him. He, uh - He asked me a lot of friendly questions.

the third was André - I've got it written down somewhere.

and there was this guy who had just won the something-something.

but that's not unusual that the surrealists would have been interested in Alice...

so that you would see it, as if it was planned for you, in a way.

Is everything all right, gentlemen?

I mean, it's a very frightening thing, Wally, to have to suddenly realize...

What you're doing, in fact, is you're asking those same questions...

with this incredible laugh coming out of me...

Findhorn people see it a little differently.

and partly a therapist, and partly a priest.

well, I wouldn't feel so great about myself.

What was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to pay them?

and all three of whom had known me for years.

and they spent the whole evening going -

which, in this case, was, in a way, just for an audience of one - just for me.

And I think it's time that I was caught and tried the way he was.

Because, you see, I think that if you put on serious, contemporary plays...

that we're not getting any real sustenance, 'cause we don't see the world.

And then the three of them - Helen, Bill and Fred - showed up wearing white.

Uh, everybody was supposed to be on an airplane...

and, in a way, what I was trying to do -

I mean, really, tell me, why do we require a trip to Mount Everest...

Oh, yes, we went off into the desert...

I mean, that moment of being face to face with another person.

I mean, you know, in Sanskrit, the root of the verb “to be”...

by writers like yourself...

So on impulse I brought Kozan back to stay with us in New York...

You know, it was like a - a Jackson Pollock painting, you know.

I think, uh, it's our nature, uh, to do things.

That's right. Our - Our minds are just focused on these goals and plans...

We usually don't know the things we'd like to know...

You know, and we had tried working together, but really our work consisted mostly...

And people started to sit with us and started to learn the song.

'Cause, you see, I think that people today are so deeply asleep...

And they'd taken, you know, a kind of sheet or canvas...

I think that's right.

that play, uh, The Violets are Blue?

because I can buy my way into the building.

It's destroyed everything.

I mean, really, the - the Africans would have probably put their spears into all four of us...

how desperately curious we all are to know how all the others of us...

What happened after that?

and, uh, it just wouldn't be noticed.

At one time, he'd been quite fat, then he'd lost an incredible amount of weight...

In other words, we didn't know why we were there. We didn't know what we were looking for.

And that prayer is the action of liberating these enchained embryo-like spirits...

and everything went haywire.

even if I had known what I felt...

I mean, I was on a trip. It was like being in a William Blake world suddenly.

and I sometimes sort of wonder, well, what is it doing to me?

and I guess even in a way, at times, sort of fascistic.

And we rode and we rode.

I had never, ever seen a copy of Minotaure.

- By the way, is he still thin? - What?

So, uh, about halfway through the week...

By the way, uh, did you ever see...

And I'd stayed back in New York.

why is there gold or silver in the churches or something - the great cathedrals -

You know, la-last week I had this really nice director from Norway over for dinner...

“And if these women could play the trumpet or the harp...

Now, the only other things that I remember...

And it's their feeling that there have to be centers now...

I met this man whom I greatly admire.

But then something had happened to André.

I mean, what do you think?

and that from now on there'll simply be all these robots walking around...
