Nice post. I see MMY as what native Americans would
call a coyote teacher. He's a left-handed tantric
master who gets our waking state panties in a bunch.
This why it is VERY important to be authentic with
your reaction to his antics and all sorts of
nonsense-its a secret part of the sadhana. The
spirtual integrity you seek is something that we need
to bring to bare, its not MMY's dharma.
