Summary

Ellie is a happily married woman for 29 years. She has been blessed, with two beautiful children—a lovely daughter and a sweet son. She has graduated from SUNY at Stony Brook and has been teaching mathematics in high school and community colleges. After changing her career, she worked in Information Technology as a Quality Assurance Manage for many years. Since childhood, she was seeing herself as a vision, which was not associated with the body at all. The question was arising, “Who am I?” This was never answered and it was there in her heart for a long time… Since the year 2001, she has been inspired: To get to know who she is. To find what she is searching for. For the past few years, she has had wonderful experiences by “going within,” meditating, and discovering the Truth. The Truth reveals itself to itself by itself. She would like to share these experiences with you. She hopes that by reading her story, you also get inspired to “go within” and "discover" who you really are, and also find the authentic joy that resides within. She wishes you all patience and the best of luck on this path. Please know that this is the best thing and the most important thing that you can do for yourself.

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump.
0:29.4	My name is Rick Archer, and my guest this week is Elie Ruzdar, who was a guest on the show last October.
0:37.9	And that interview went very well.
0:41.0	And afterwards, she got a lot of questions from people,
0:43.9	and she's still getting them.
0:45.5	And so we decided to do a second interview
0:48.2	in which Ellie answers some of the common questions she's been getting.
0:53.1	So welcome, Ellie, and thanks for doing
0:55.0	this again. Thank you so much, Rick, for giving me this opportunity. It's my pleasure to be here.
1:01.7	You're welcome. So this will be a little different. I would suggest that people, if they wish,
1:09.0	go back and listen to the first interview before even
1:12.2	in listening to this one, because then you'll get Ellie's whole background and how she kind
1:17.2	of came to where she is now.
1:19.7	We're not going to go through all that again.
1:21.7	We're just going to start discussing these questions, and I imagine we'll spend a very
1:25.4	pleasant couple of hours actually discussing these questions.
1:28.3	So we're going to start right in.
1:30.3	So Ellie typed up the questions that she's been getting and probably gotten many more than these,
1:36.3	but these are representative of the most common ones.
1:39.3	And they seem to be in a little bit of a logical order.
1:42.3	So I'll just start and we'll take it from the top and spend as much time as we like discussing each one.
