Any advice, thoughts? Great show Cameron.

Great show! Thanks for having Bob answer my questions from last week. My ego loved that. Then I caught my ego loving it and had a laugh.. Still, it's quite a weird thrill how technology allows us to connect and influence each other from across the globe. Bob's answers were pretty intense. Repeated listenings will be necessary! You did a great job keeping it funny and real.... You asked for more questions, so here's another: 1. As an artist, when I draw a still-life, my logical "left brain" shuts down and my "right brain" opens, allowing me to "see" clearly the connection between objects. Pure "seeing" happens, and I just record what I see on paper. This is a mostly peaceful process because the mind quiets and doesn't label things. So is the philosophy of Advaita simply a "right-brain" functioning or experience? If so, shouldn't more gurus prescribe activities like drawing or archery or whatever to help seekers get direct experience of timelessness and non-duality? Thanks again! Keep it up!
