its amusing to hear him describe christians of his time as following a cult of "things will be better in future time thanks to limitless progress" whereas now christians hanker after previous times and only Godless capitalists and consumers worship the future

huxley tires me. of course God is in the world! why all the pomp in declaring a way different from realization of God within that isnt actually different, but is understood by all those who find God within? to find God in the world is literally a kind of jnana yoga, no?

Huxley also quotes people who are only philosophically similar to yogis and saints, without actually having experienced what they purport to describe, which bothers me

I wonder what this could mean, it sounds like sahaja samadhi to me but I'm probably wrong. having put so much faith in atman-as-brahman realization myself as the wannabe unachievable goal of my life it IRRITATES me that he says theres something better??;isnt realizing the Brahman within what leads to knowledge of the immanent AND transcendent God? or is this about nibanna vs samsara, more mahayana stuff? I will enquire further....

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!
