Richard Sylvester: When Nothing Has a Meaning and Nothing Matters

This interview with Richard Sylvester took place in October 2016, questions by ANdy aka Andreas Hegewald (Jetzt-TV, Richard Sylvester Interview03). The same kind of chat taking place in Richard’s meetings since years – and Richard is enjoying it; Nonduality as part of spirituality; about Richard’s books, the first one “I hope you die soon”, soon written after the realization; “just relax”, enlightenment for the lazy person; the common period of despair before the dropping away of the self; the empty show – almost like a hologram; the book “The Book of No One”; “Drink Tea, Eat Cake” and its story of coming in existence; lazy writing – “only” editing the transcripts; the Zen saying “Cutting wood and carrying water...”; Richard’s humour; the latest enormous book “Non-Duality Questions, Non-Duality Answers”, another example for lazy writing, a collection of e-mail questions and answers; about Richard’s having stopped to answer e-mail questions; almost certain his last book about non-duality; about the book writing in cafés; about the using of drugs and their possible (no) effect in realization of the truth; electrical stimulation of the brain to effect certain experiences; Freud’s phrase of “the narcissism of little differences”; about the more stronger and more raw but less neurotic feelings after realization; about techniques; relationships after liberation – no rules at all; about bliss; when nothing has a meaning and nothing matters; the tree moving seeing in front of the window; nothing right, nothing wrong, simply what happens; about the fear of dying and the fear of death; about hope; despair is more relaxing than hope; depressions; the authentic self; non-duality talks with “therapy light” – confusing; “Confessions of a Seeker”, maybe the title of the next book of Richard.
