Well as promised I have had a short interview with Wiz Wingrower not an in depth one as I wanted but he is a private person and any bits he will offer i will take up. This is a transcript of it.

Nigel ; Hi Wiz thank you so much for agreeing to this interview I really appreciate that you are a very private person and that I am very privileged to be able to talk to you in a public arena.

Wiz : Hi Nigel great to hear your voice, it seems a long time since January.

Nigel : Yes I’ve been wanting to contact  you but I respect your wish for seclusion.

Wiz : Yes I have been so lucky to be able to lock myself completely away.

Nigel : So for those people listening who do not know you Wiz is it Ok for me to ask a few questions to allow the listeners to understand who you are and why you have been living in a cave since January?

Wiz : I doubt if anyone is interested in me.

Nigel : Well a few people I know are intrigued by you Wiz. Can I just clarify what is your real name?

Wiz : My full name is Wiz Richard Wingrower but I am not Rich and I’ve usually been described as soft as opposed to hard. So mostly I am known as Wiz Wingrower.

Nigel: So did anyone call you Wiz ard ?

Wiz : Yes at Uni I was known as Wizard but my parents call me Wiz because my father was known as a bit of a wiz kid!

Nigel : I have always been amused that your surname is so appropriate for your academic style. You are a brilliant teacher as I well know but you teach your students to grow their own wings and also their own wins.

Wiz : Yes I have never approved of Guru’s, I feel it is better to teach students to rely upon their own resources rather than follow a leader.

Nigel: So Wiz Can I just clarify why are you using a disguised voice.

Wiz : I have my reasons.

Nigel : I think I understand, is that why you have been cave dwelling?

Wiz ; No I been in total seclusion to deepen my awareness, silence is the best method I know.

Nigel : Why did you choose Papua New Guinea to become a cave dweller Wiz?

Wiz : Because I needed to find somewhere that I could be completely undisturbed for as long as I needed. This Country is 98% owned by Clans and villagers. Fear of spirits keeps all but the fool hardy from exploring the caves forests and mountain tops so it was my perfect place to find my true self. 

Nigel : Have you encountered any spirits?

Wiz : You know i no longer touch alcohol!

Nigel : Ok I know when you are being evasive, humour is your shield Wiz.

You taught me so much about psychology I will always be in your debt, have you been continuing your academic study Wiz?

Wiz : No I’ve been emptying my mind, knowledge can be overwhelming.

Nigel : And Has it worked?

Wiz : Well I think I have a better understanding of the infinite.

Nigel : I know when we used to talk you described yourself as intellectually lonely have you been lonely in your cave?

Wiz : No I have managed to feel the oneness that I have been seeking, It has almost felt as if I’ve been watching over you all and been part of your lives despite having no contact.

Nigel: I know if we get talking this is going to get too deep so can I back off a little Wiz and keep it simple today?

Wiz : Simple is where I am at now! i used to be too clever for my own good.

Nigel : I know that by intellectual loneliness you were referring to the scarcity of people who wanted to talk about the many aspects of life that you are so interested in,  has that changed?

Wiz : Yes I no longer feel the need to talk and much prefer to listen

Nigel: But you have so many valuable teachings is that not letting your students down bit?

Wiz : No I am here to learn again, the circle is complete.

Nigel : I was kind of hoping to get you to do a blog now and again for me now that you are back into circulation.

Wiz : I will help you, where I can, but I do not seek publicity as you know.

Nigel : Where are you at this moment.

Wiz : I’m in the mountains near No fia

Nigel :Where is that exactly Wiz

Wiz : I taught you well, but surely you do not expect me to answer that one?

Nigel: This is just a taster interview to see if anyone out there is interested in your message of peace and joy, I realize this is the first conversation with any human since you found your cave just overago  11 months so I’ll close now but there is so much I want to learn about your new found awareness Wiz.

Wiz : Yes my cave beckons. Remain true to yourself my friend, we will talk again soon.

Nigel :Ok :   before you go can I just clarify that it is ok to put this phone call out as a blog?

Wiz ; Yes enjoy the all that is! Find the part of yourself that is within and be at one with it. See you when I next look at you….
