INTERVIEW: Sound Bites from Silence — #3
This is another segment in an ongoing series of conversations between author and teacher Nurit Oren and myself, about my book Sound Bites from Silence.
“I am so deeply moved to hear such a non-answer to a question that cannot be answered and yet it is the best explanation to why it can’t be answered. Even these words don’t do it justice since this is the deepest elaboration in words that I ever heard. Listening from the silence perspective of “no reference point” it is so touching and soulful (for lack of better words) that I am on the verge of tears.” – Gabor Harsanyi, spiritual initiator, master of silence

INTERVIEW: Sound Bites from Silence — #1
This is the first in a series of conversations that Nurit Oren — author, teacher, interviewer — and I will have about my book, Sound Bites from Silence: Scouting Reports from the Frontier of Consciousness. 
I wrote this book sometime around 2002 or so, and I attempted to express my direct experience of living in, and from, silence.
By way of introducing these conversations, Nurit has said, “In this book, Robert’s ability to express and echo the voice of silence with accuracy, dexterity, simplicity and creativity is very inspiring and elevating. Robert is a self-awareness teacher, a leadership advisor, an exceptional public speaker, an author and much more. This interview is a first in a series that is designed to create a space for Robert to lift his words off the pages for us and to allow him to give us not only a flavor of this book but also the key to approaching it from the platform from which it was written.” (more…)
Jean Dunn: A Truly Remarkable Woman
I think it’s important to honor the lives and legacies of people who have touched our hearts in some way, who have touched the lives of others in uplifting and inspiring ways.
It’s important to celebrate the qualities we admire and respect and want to pass on to our children by shining a light of gratitude on those who embody those qualities. And so I want to remember Jean Dunn, a truly remarkable woman worth remembering.
I lived in Mill Valley, just north of San Francisco, from the late ’80s through the mid-’90s. At some point during those years — I can’t remember precisely — I heard that Jean Dunn lived not too far away, in Vacaville, about half way between San Francisco and Sacramento, on I-80. (more…)
