Very interesting. One of the things about spiritual practice is not feeling the need to look up to anyone. We look across.
I have learnt so much from my yoga teacher, but am aware that she's abit of a control freak. I have also gained so much from the works of Zen Buddhist Cheri Huber, especially her book 'There is nothing wrong with you; a guide to going beyond self-hate', though I wouldn't say I look up to her. I really admire her honesty. She writes about her attempted suicide by shooting herself in the stomach as a young woman, but also writes that even after years of awareness practice she is still as depressed as she ever was. Amazing, insightful speaker Gabor Mate 'When the body says No' still admits to needing to 'get over himself', his addictions and medications.
It's not the Dalai Lama that's the problem, although there does seem to be some serious issues with him, it's thinking that any leader is anything more than a journeying, fallible, hurting, flawed, wonderful human, and in putting anyone in positions above the law- such as, facilitated by politicians, the care home and hospital administrators who knowingly allowed Saville access to vulnerable young women, because of his charity work.
We seem to be reaching for leaders in the health freedom and freedom of speech movement. https://georgiedonny.substack.com/p/a-healthy-future-does-not-lie-with we've established that we can't trust politicians, medical dogma, doctors, journalists or the media, we don't need to replace then with any other global medical, health or media establishments.
We just start listening to our guts and bodies and sitting quietly
The days of Prophets ended 1400+ yrs ago. Every human alive today is fallible. Thats why our hero-worship culture is so dangerous. It puts humans with all their flaws on pedestals they don’t belong. Especially those funded by the alphabets...
I absolutely disagree that Mate is blaming the parents. He explains how what happens to the parents, and to their parents before them can get passed down through the generations.
It was guessed that lifetimes of parent stress effectedvtheir children. Mate is lending such voice as he has to underline the old Freudian idea minus blame, be it said, that we cannot shake it without a conscious look. Whic is Freud's despairing position that all we do is a comforting b3cause familiar reenactment of Freud knewx
-knew not what. But Mate proposes we question our decisions about who do we hate next. And adopt a kind of mea culpa without an audience. In other words we are neurotic characters and better that you be an auntie Mame than an Anti Meme about any hard working person.
