thinking answers missions
I think Poe had a mission to tell us what it's all about. To answer some of the great questions of life.
dad math thinking
My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
thinking giving people
It is important to me that what Poe has to say gets across to people. I want to give people the feeling that I get from all this. I think that we are succeeding. The feedback is very warm.
thinking people might
People are smarter than you might think.
moving thinking later-in-life
I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it's later in life.
thinking people want
I think people really want to be happy.
thinking ghost figures
I figure I basically am a ghost. I think we all are.
backs knees legs until upside
There was one where Gomez was on a Trapeze hanging by the legs upside down. I remember how much the backs of my knees would hurt until I got used to it. It was hard.
chant positions replaced sort
I get into certain yoga positions at times, when I'm working out and for exercises. I use a little of it in some of my meditation, but I chant now and that sort of replaced it.
feedback positive
The feedback that I get from my association with Gomez is heartwarming. It is very difficult for me to take anything but a positive view of the Gomez phenomenon.
care convey people pick subtle
If you do something and you really care and you want to convey something in a subtle way, there are people out there that are going to pick up on it.
intuition development instinct
There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings.
truth live-your-life ifs
If you live your life in truth, the truth will out.
space people wanted
People are transported to that space that Poe wanted to make available to us.
