Status Updates From The Knee Of Listening: The ...

Nearing the end of this book.

I’m already kind of panicking.

It’s been so dang good.

I have NO idea what I can chase this one with.

I can’t imagine what wouldn’t feel like a let down in comparison.

I think I’m going to have to shift gears/genres/modes.

In other words.

This is a terminal read.

Astounding.

Utterly brilliant.

Life changing.

And also scary as hell.

By acknowledging his astounding genius, I am in no way condoning excuse his abuses.

And by acknowledging his abuses, I am absolutely not diminishing the

Crazy conflicted feelings.

His madness and abuses are so completely awful.

And this book is so fucking good.

The fact that I somehow find myself reading this is laterally shocking. I was introduced to Adi Da about 15 years ago. I was very opposed to Guru culture at the time and I was instantly utterly repulsed. I recently began watching some of his early dharma talks on YouTube. And I have to admit. He’s compelling. I still find his abusive behavior and teaching methods to be ghoulish. But damn this dude can write.
