Very surprised to see this book recommended on here, it's very niche, mostly for people who have been around the block spiritually and are ready for a dose of tough love.

Though I don't quite agree with your characterization of the Joker. He's clearly doing his best to hurt other people, which is not something you usually see in those who are enlightened. But who knows? Everybody has a role to play.

it was one of the first spiritual books i read at 23 and it really smashed my life up.

joker is comic-book-enlightened. meaning he is existentially aware that he is a comic book villain with a role to play, that's why he so easily changes characters and personality: no self. eerily similar to what i went through after finding jed.

take a look at this for some freaky jed-like feels
