Raja-yogis believe that they are the true heroes of meditation compared with hatha yogis

Wow, their practice of transcending the ego really seems to work?

Drukpa Lumley was a crazy spiritual master who introduced 5000 women to tantric sex.
- quite trekking that these ego-surpassing "spiritual masters" are never able to surpass heteronormativity

"Zusätzlich zu seiner ersten Ehefrau verband er sich auch mit acht tantrischen Gespielinnen."
Gurus gotta guru. I also love how exploiting your male spiritual leader position sexuality is never criticized in this book.

Crazy masters use their behaviors to question our norms and customs. This one master was so crazy that he had sex with his female followers to introduce them to sexual spirituality.

1) we are not going to comment critically on having sex with people you should care for? Ok.
2. Apparently he wasn't crazy enough to question the norm of heterosexuality. Sounds fake and as if you just do what you feel like

"too bad we can't use punishments rather than rewards in education nowadays" - Feuerstein, yoga scholar

No critical comment about karma? Just a statement about struggles in our yoga practice are due to karma? Ok.

Dude, I get it, you hate having live saving medical treatments and jerk off to philosophy books, can you start telling me about yoga and stop shitting on science?

Dude I don't understand a single word
