Well, along with this new 'blues' subject heading this might read like you're stuck in some spiritual impatience that way. Yep sitting with BATGAP takes some discipline to do it. BATGAP evidently is not media entertainment the way you're wanting it. Your reaction here also reads like a classic spiritual depression as reaction, along with the Gas Pump Blues heading you choose. Also known spiritually as Acedia. Now there is certainly some of that (acedia) around too as a different parallel spiritual conversation. Rick was pretty clear about the project for what it is though. from the batgap page, About, This show will attempt to dispel skepticism and misconceptions by week after week, allowing otherwise ordinary people to relate their experience of spiritual awakening. The terminology is tricky, because there are no universally agreed upon definitions to describe this experience. Also, enlightenment is not something that an individual person "gets". It's not even something that the mind can grasp. It's an awakening to that which contains the mind and all other things. So it's not surprising that language is inadequate to convey it. http://batgap.com/
