Summary

After years of radical liberation in my own absence eventually became another kind of prison, I found freedom from "Enlightenment" in the freedom to live a richly human bittersweet life, in a new way, the way of transimmanence, in which the spiritual and the material are unified, and everything including suffering is a sacred expression of the divine. Discovering how many other people have been harmed by modern adaptations of liberation via self-negation teachings, I've become a Spiritual Emergence Coach, and run peer support groups for people experiencing spiritual crisis, especially related to Neo-Advaita.

1:30.7	of conversations he had had with her about Neoadvita and the effect that that indulgence

1:58.1	so relevant to our conversation, but you can't if you want. No, I just fell in love with it a long time ago, but I guess not so relevant to our conversation, but you can if you want.
