Realization of Paradox
Realization of Paradox
“This spoken word offering from Spiritual Master Bhapuji Tisziji Muñoz contains some of his most mysteriously provocative word medicine. Those of us close to this great Master through the years, know that it is not unusual for him to be able to explain the unexplainable or describe the indescribable. Though I’ve been around Tisziji nearly 40 years and have read many of his books, this work initially appeared to me as ungraspable as it is humorous, wondrous and joyous. It had the extreme effect of knocking any of my usual thought processes completely off axis and often had me saying, what? However, once I heard it a few times, my perception changed and I was able to hear it as clear simple truth. It was a blessing and a great challenge to provide, along with these great players, sympathetic accompaniment to such genius heart Heart word. There were no charts, guidelines or gravitational references whatsoever. Infinite gratitude to you, Bhapu, for sharing your realization of liberation, compassion and love with the universe.” —Ra Kalam Bob Moses
