It looks to me like crazy wisdom has shifted from spiritually realized people behaving eccentrically to assholes acting out and justifying it as somehow being spiritual. Which is not to say that complete assholes can't have amazing realization. Adi Franklin Bubba Free Da John Jones Samraj could very well have been highly realized, but as a human being, he was very dysfunctional and acted out in ways that were highly inappropriate. I can see why many traditions of awakening get the samskara/vasana inner work out of the way before awakening, because once sole identity with the I/me story is broken, it is tempting to disregard the story as unimportant and let it act out messily. Also, for people with serious mental health issues, nondual awakening can make matters worse.
