What’s the name of that book?
I had a philosophy prof that did the same thing with Eastern Thought. If you wanted more than the classroom stuff, he was there to provide it. It fundamentally destroyed my current existence and at the same time built up a new, more appropriate understanding of the human experience. I have never been the same since, and still look upon reality and everything that goes on through a very different lens. And that is the lens of sanity……There is essentially very little difference in what I was exposed to vs. what Brian was doing with his students. It all boils down to same thing – get rid of all the garbage and learn to listen to the cosmos, which BTW is you in the first place. When you fundamentally realize that you are merely the cosmos aware of itself, everything else just falls away. You still are able to function in this dumpster fire of a world, but always in the background you know the truth. This knowledge can result in a couple of very different paths – one has you just saying lets do this, balls to the wall, based on "nothing matters therefore everything matters", while the other path suggests "what's the point to this insane rat race", which has the opposite affect. I seem to subscribe to both, depending on my mood and the situation. Which ever I happen to choose though, it more often than not seems to be the right call.
