Sorry Im not buyin. I will continue to read, and as always with a skeptical eye. I am truly beginning to wonder if there actually isn't any point to all this mess
Essential Zen
To begin to understand you must cut off knowing and seeing, forget gain and loss, and become purified, naked, and perfectly at ease; each and every one must investigate on his own.

An editorial on the first McKenna Book

frankly Im not terribly impressed. There really isn't anything new in there that hasn't been posted on the forums. AND I find his need to exclaim on every page how he is enlightened disconcerting and a little irritating. I get it you are enlightened. If enlightenment is that I am ok with this. Really. Its really a rehashing of all of the New Age bullshit in new words with our intrepid Buddha trying desperately to drag all of the unenlightened masses with him, but no one is willing to give up enough or work hard enough.

My first response was "who the hell does this guy think he is?"

Interesting.
Maybe it is something like "Who the hell do I think I am?"
