I feel like this sort of stuff is useful if you renounce the world and sit in an ashram reflecting everyone's questions back towards them, but carries very little applicable use that can make a difference in someone's life.
If someone has these sorts of questions, what is the point in my life etc, I recommend something much more actionable such as CBT. It will start having results right away, and save you have to work out metaphysical riddles first.
- truth_seeker 4y agoNo, JK was very much against ashram and traditional Guru-disciple bonding. He is pursuing to renounce our projection about he world which comes from memory and thoughts, not the world itself. " Don’t bother about freedom. First, see that you are in prison: the social prison, economic prison, political prison, religious prison, the prison which you have created yourself out of your desire, ambition, fears and pleasures. When you understand your prison, the prison that thought collectively and individually has created, the prison of our confusion, misery and suffering, when you understand that, look at it, go into it, see the structure and the nature of it, then out of that comes freedom. Then it is not a reward. One who is seeking a reward is never free. " - Public Talk 4 in Santa Monica, California, 24 March 1974
