Acknowledgments

No work of this size can come from just one, or even a few people. Aaron and I would especially like to thank those people whose energy, time, material resources and love have made this sharing of his work possible.

There are too many such friends to mention you all, but special recognition and loving gratitude must go to Karen Weber for countless hours of typing, transcribing, and editing and also to Aiji Pipho for transcribing, and to David Rothbart for his frequent technical assistance. Ian Jaffray has undertaken the monumental task of final editing and design. This edition exists only because of his loving energy and work. For all their help, energy and loving support, a big hug to the entire Camman family. Also to John Orr and Mike Rothbart who have spent many hours opening their hearts and thoughts to Aaron and inspiring his sharing.

Many of these transcripts grew out of the hard work, commitment, and pure and loving energy of the 1990-92 weekly study group-Cailin and Cassie Cammann, John Gutoskey, Donna Hall, Dorothy Henderson, Barb Linderman, Aiji Pipho, Mike Rothbart, Evan Strauss, Karen Weber, Doron Weisbarth and Dawn Yankou.

A warm thank you to all of you around the country who have joined us for evenings and workshops, lending your energy, enthusiasm, curiosity and inspiration. You'll find many of your questions and Aaron's answers here.

Finally, a thank you to my family-Hal, Peter, Davy and Mike-who have put up with an abundance of reheated leftovers and order-out pizza, and suffered the hours and weekends of losing me to a computer or meditation, to allow me more time to work.

Forehead to the floor and heart bursting with love, my most heartfelt gratitude and devotion to my guru, Neem Karoli Baba, without whose grace none of this work with Aaron could have happened.

And especially, to Aaron, my dearest, forever friend-with grateful appreciation for your loving and patient teaching.

My travels have led me to new friends in all parts of the world. Everywhere I go, people are "family," opening their hearts and their homes. I welcome your letters to me and to Aaron and try to answer every one. I cannot always personally channel Aaron's answers to your questions, but we will respond in whatever ways we are able. Please feel free to write.
