This book is great and a must read. That he broke his vows and fucked some roastie just makes it even more based

Meditation and Kabbalah by Aryeh Kaplan os a real good read

Once you see everything man does as an attempt to boost fornication chances, you stop being surprised by all these gurus getting metoo'd.
The right-hand path is for simps.

i have to agree that needing 10 affairs at 85yo just to satisfy your insatiable sexual hunger is kind of based, also he wasn't metoo'd, it was all consensual i think in this case

Do we have photos of his slays to enjoy vicariously before meditation?

Banging chicks is undifferentiated in the Oneness of Being. It's his prudish critics who are unenlightened and who should've been stripped of posts, but then again, being a prudish critic is undifferentiated as well.

Do right hand and left hand spiritual ways have any resemblance to right and left wing politics

>> No.17455923

>>17455887
Not really. The political left isn't individualistic enough for the left-hand path, and the political right isn't disciplined enough for the right-hand path.

it's not about the sex, it's about breaking explicit vows he chose to take and cheating on your wife with 10 prostitutes and creating a situation where the whole board of your meditation summer-camp decide to put out a manifesto throwing you to the shitter for some reason. although there's the possibility that he was too based and they were too cringe, he didn't rape anybody just had too much sexual potency for a 86 year old that had to be consumed somehow

>is it true he kinda disowned TMI?
in some podcast, even before the controversy, he said that insight meditation somehow "by-passes" or works around emotional stuff, but it can leave it untouched and this stuff can bubble up again with time, and because that type of meditation makes you "invulnerable" to emotions it makes it also difficult to work with emotions and resolve those kinds of latent issues? maybe that's why monks put so much emphasis on morality work before meditation, or didn't even let everybody get into meditation, just people who were ready for it, i think it was this podcast but not sure:
