“The World Can Do with One Less Guru”

  • Why are there so few geniuses in the world? Are they hiding in plain sight or is humanity just comfortably numb?  

  • Genius requires “Objectionable, Heresy, Tedious labour,—this is the condition of genius, which no doubt explains the reason why humans rarely achieve anything.” – Lev Shestov

  • Instead of arriving at their own insight, Humans want quick answers and someone to baby-sit them, to give them the answers, but not take the labour of thinking for themselves.  And why should they?  The struggle for autonomy and authenticity is so hard, beliefs are the easy way. And as one human bumps into another who shares their untested believes, that stickiness of familiarity gives them more comfort and security.

  • The Universe demands creativity activity from us.  If not, like sheep we will accept our paths are led by a cosmic shepherd and we are all too happy to be victims of randomness. That way, Life happens to us, not by us.

  • Why should every adult not be a creator, risk life by living on the edge and arrive at his own experience? If you could design and create your future, does your past matter? Adult people want who want to be led should be treated with contempt. They are cowards because in their desperation to conform they repeat what others say, that is if others think at all; The best of they can ever be is Life by imitation.

  • It is incredible vanity, if not spiritual illiteracy, to teach that the truisms of the ancient past, like” sacred” texts and other Sutras are not only immutable but can be applied to your reality in your current time.  The Mind-at-Large has evolved tremendously from antiquity and is changing dynamically right before your eyes.

  • Why is self-governance, control such a threat to institutions and authority? The person who controls himself, acts on his authentic experience, is his own Master and has no need for an external authority to be his Master. This makes authorities like Gurus, the Mullah, the Hight Priest, Institutions, ancient books unemployable and lose their sanctity.
