Conscious Academics (Spiritual people with a Phd)

[Yimpa]

Being biased for academics with a PhD is a mistake. Just because an academic has a PhD doesn’t mean that they are wiser.

Consider that they can be stupider and more corrupt.

Having a PhD essentially just means you know a lot of theories and facts, and that you know how to structure your thoughts and use precise language. And of course there is value to that, and seeing it synergize with a spiritual understanding is quite interesting.

The way he described "letting go" of his attachment to his kids really reminded me of this sort of "emotional bodybuilding" sentiment I see a lot, which is this idea that you have to sacrifice all your desires and go through emotional hardship to become enlightened or something, which I find misleading. Not wrong depending on how you look at it, just misleading in my opinion.  

Well, the way he puts it resonates for me, as somebody who feels that indeed there are things that I'm attached to that keeps me from relaxing into Being. It's not that I'm not capable of relaxing into Being either. It happens quite spontaneously on its own. But when that happens, I'm quickly reminded of why I don't want that to happen (yet).

This PhD is pretty damn conscious.

She’s one in a million, for sure.
