On-set conversation with Martin Jolie on Dave Oshana, an orientation towards the wholesome, subjective & objective impressions of Dave, Oshana retreats, the issue of language, a critical toolset, the problem of the teachings, a developing sense of enlightenment, a perfected methodology, ancestral consciousness, the retreat space, amplifying the signal of the soul, an encounter with the self, the presence of the departed, a configuration of love, George de la Tour, Milton of the devil’s Party, the problem of depicting goodness, love & light via the darkness, addressing a collective wound, the writer & the pen, accepting the limited self, the persona as a mask, the body as mediator for the true self, abhorrence of the body, where psychic entities live, Dave’s subtle effect, the softest touch of enlightenment, awareness of the transitory, the cruelty and the comfort, the luxury of distraction, counterfeit compassion, cowboy & fool: two mods of perception, focused & unfocused awareness, Dave’s charisma, the attraction of authenticity, the space created by Dave’s passivity, counteracting the teacher-student dynamic, addressing transference, reducing awe, teaching to relax.
