I'm really pleased your taking a prolonged rest Leo, your output to date has been prodigious, and over the last several months of an unbelievable intensity and consistency. I was really worried about the potential for burnout but you have brought this to a head at a good time. Anyway, the break allows learners an excellent opportunity to further integrate the teaching as a corpus.
I am interested in the links between your deepening spiritual content and the obvious development of your socio political world view. Having been a social justice warrior for a good part of my life, I've always found it difficult to reconcile my disgust and anger at the negative impacts that rampant rise of global neoliberalism since the 1980's has had on issues of race, gender, income equality and the environment. All these issues are coming to a head for us living here in Australia as we are now all living through a nightmarish, dystopian scenario as the consequence of these 'greed' policies coming home to roost in the very ongoing sustainability of our fragile ecosystems. A great percentage of our ancient species have been pushed to the edge of extinction by rampant, greed first, US style corporate capitalism and now our asses are all on the line. From a spiritual point of view its difficult to maintain a dispassionate spiritual view and not let anger rot your soul. It's hard to reconcile the macro perception that life is but an ego dream with the very devilry that endangers our very existence within the dream. Any ideas?
