Is that some kind of Western thing?

Indeed. Brad is the founder of Radical Honesty. I worked with him for over a year and still have no idea whether he is a dude or a fucking fascist.

Yes, but what's the question?

Whenever I see a single person, a "leader" trying to radically influence people's thinking and lives, and who is as ego inflated as this dude "Brad" is, I go for the cult/fascist side and always treat these people with extreme caution. His constant declaration of how "wonderful and awesome he was," to me, is a bit sickening. Personally, I'd tell the asshat to go fuck himself. He's probably just trying to get some young pussy and bilk people of their cash machine, man.

IMHO.

The answer to that is,it is not a simple question.A bit like the Da Vinci code.There are many strands that must be assembled.I think Lewis Carroll was on to something.I suspect it begins with the angle of refraction through a rainbow and I am keeping an eye on the apparent harmonics of string theory.They vibrate you know.

DB, I agree with you and in this case, know him to be sort of a dick (there is a great npr piece about a reporter that goes to one of his workshops. However in this video, I am pretty sure that he is talking about how each of us are princes in our own right, and important to the world. Heard as self aggrandizement, it is sickening. I read a great poem once about how all the real Buddhas are passing each other in the halls without knowing it and working in restaurant kitchens.

Rock the fuck on, man! I actually go a bit more extreme and just head for the door as quickly as possible with my hand over my wallet.

But then, the way I figure it, we're all just bumbling along doing our best to get from the cradle to the grave without fucking up too badly and hoping that when we do fuck up we don't get caught. I could be wrong. But it seems to be true, and to the extent that it is all gurus are frauds.

@ Zen Dog, Leopoldrose, RighteousDude...

Fuckin' eh, mangs; righteous words from all.

[LotsaBadKarma]

Well, I know nothing of this guy, he may be a dick. I do like the chant, though, I'm going to incorporate it into my meditative practice. Duuuuuhhhhhh, uuuuuhhhhh, uuuuuhhhhh, I feel the enlightenment starting.

[Masked Dude]

I'll ask the mice.
