Status Updates From The Guru Papers: Masks of A...

Just started this.

And so far it serves.

The text aims to deconstruct the problematic nature of exploitive Guru types from the broader lens of authoritarianism.

It feels more pertinent now (in the MAGA/ICE/DOGE era) than ever.

I’m reading it as a counter balance to other reading. I’m doing by controversial Guru Adi Da. But it seems to have MUCH bigger implications and use value.

Timely!

LOVE IT.

“Buddhism is also essentially authoritarian” 😂🤣 Oh no Buddha is telling me what to renounce and how to do it. How dare he.
Did I just waste my money? Their spiritual ignorance is showing. It’s kinda cringy. Still have hope for a good read..

Started out good, but getting the idea that they’re against spirituality and don’t understand certain spiritual concepts. That even karma has fear structured behind it when it comes to morality. Karma is what it is. If you fear it that’s a personal issue.
