Well, he says the site is growing. Maybe he'll add a page called "Perverse Spirituality" (or something) to give seekers some markers to avoid in choosing gurus. It seems that such tips would be worth as much as the "here's what you do" advice. Not that I imagine he regrets his time with MMY or Sai Baba. I finally got around to listening to Hesse's _Siddhartha_, and liked two sections: the one where the hero leaves the shramanas, and the one where he takes a pass on following Gotama Buddha, saying he didn't see the point of following the teachings of someone who did not attain awakening by means of those same teachings. In short, I seemed to resonate most with the rejections of teachings, rather than the discussions of timeless wisdom. That, and kissing Kamala. Good stuff, that.
