A very interesting piece on a complex subject. I feel a sense of being wounded by the last few years. Seeing musicians I admired, such as Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young, exclude unvaccinated people from concerts bothered me. Omega Institute had a program called Radical Remission for cancer patients who think outside the box—but it required vaccination. Most of all, I felt a mean-spirited and deliberate ignorance. Discussion is barely permitted or possible. This, and the kowtowing to authority figures who offered the flimsiest support for their views, has shifted my worldview in a way hard to define.

Thank you for this. I can imagine your grief over Wallis. I was grieved to learn about Omega's vaccine policy. I had been a participant and on staff there. I'd also been to Esalen. Really makes you wonder how this could happen. I have heard of Ra and I will do further research. Thanks for link. I have done the Vipassana 10 day retreat. Deepest I have ever gone in meditation where I had experience of completely dissolving, there was no me. Madhava, I always get a great deal out of what you write.
