I'm consumed by the notion that nondual understanding is obscured by the superstitious ideas gurus attempt to qualify themselves with. It's one thing to speak from an experiential understanding, it's entirely another to allow yourself to be projected as some kind of magic king or queen. Many of the larger satsangs are sustained by the desire of people to be in the presence of divinity. Gurus use the idea of their enlightenment to support the idea of their divinity. This degrades the nondual truth we all share and only serves to create occluding concepts where clarity is desired.
Let these forums be a place for spirited discussion and disclosure in an atmosphere of moderate toleration. Attack the ideas, not their holder, and I'm sure we'll all have a good time.
