In Memory of Peter Paull
When we looked your way it was the struggle of your life we quickly observed. But more slowly and deeply seen there was there an open heart, a generousity of spirit, a smile of wonder and most miraculously, the gratitude of acceptance. I was always pleased to see your face waiting in anticipation for the talk to begin and I was always grateful to receive your hug. This chair will be empty a long time now and this life will miss yours. If I can dream a fantasy then I see you sitting in a kinder place, at Ramesh's feet twitching in excitement as you and he play with the wonder of this living we must do.

Dear Wayne,
About 13 years ago, I attended some of your talks in Orange County. The ideas you presented were challenging, to say the least. Since then, I have read and reread books you have written and edited. This morning, I am compelled to write you another thank you letter. The last one I wrote was several years ago. My gratitude for your facilitation of my journey is profound. I contemplate the teaching every day, and it helps me to make sense of things and accept things. I also forget the teaching every day, but your books and the wonderful DVDs of Ramesh continually bring it back to me. I feel like the potato in the clay shell. I hear the tapping, and I am grateful.
With love,
T

With each of his visits to London, my heart opens more and more to Wayne and his simple, profound message to inquire for ourselves into the true nature of things. During his weekend talk, one of things that moved me most from what he had to share was the encouragement to "not know," to not rest the mind in a set of concepts or beliefs and therefore cease to investigate. For some, he challenged the notion that we are separate independent entities with power to act apart from the Universe. For others, who had developed a firm belief that there are no individuals, only Totality, he challenged this idea, pointing back to our experience in this moment of seeing clearly that there is a you over there and me over here. In this way he pulled the rug out from under all concepts, leaving nothing for the mind to hold onto, exposing a deeper truth that exists beyond any conceptual knowing. I found my mind silenced in its search for an idea to stand on and what remains is this tingling moment of existence, beyond all description.

Dear Wayne,
After years of reading and practices, it is indeed a blessing to find a living guru. Your teaching has hit the mark and grace may deepen the understanding.
