Quotes by Steven D. Goodman  (?)

“Remember, if a teaching is not threatening to the ego, the armored archetype within us, then it’s not doing its job. So if people are fixated on chastity, a display of licentiousness will be useful. If someone thinks licentiousness is the path, then emphasize chastity. Sobriety, drunkenness. Logical thought, crazy thought.”
Steven D. Goodman

Steven D. Goodman, The Buddhist Psychology of Awakening: An In-Depth Guide to Abhidharma
