huxley's distinction between the heights (nibbana) and the fullness (not preferring nibbana nor samsara, and thus effectively choosing samsara but also youre wholly enlightened apparently? dubious) of realizing the "Ground" is nonsensical. when someone dies in nibbana or mahasamadhi they become Brahman. Brahman is the height and the fullness, it is the transcendent Godhead and everything in samsara--purusha and prakriti. Huxley calls something else "the heights and the fullness", which I have yet to read. I'm sure it will annoy!

fucked up that quietism is talked about on wikipedia without mention of yoga.
imagine a hindu imprisoning another for lack of orthodoxy? suppressing an innocuous and even virtuous sect? unthinkable!

yeah I dont like when people distinguish God from Godhead in that way. like one is superior to the other for its involvement in the material world. for me it is nirguna brahman, saguna brahman, atman, and ishvara

honestly in my view it is despite muhammad and despite luther that great mystics came from either persuasion

without a doubt the greatest muslims are Sufis and yet modern political muslims would love to have Sufism extinguished, it is such a crime

unlike catholicism in my understanding protestantism has produced few to no major saintly people with genuine experiential knowledge of the absolute, though it seems that the christian theosophists (not to be confused with the later theosophy movement) had a general philosophical idea of it it

wish I could talk about my spiritual experiences but last time I did I was told to seek a therapist schizo. at least reading certain scripture lately has been nice. it has been years since I read the upanishads, months since i read the gita and I never read the new testament before.

middle english is incredibly readable and a joy to read with modern spelling and a glossary.
