The fact of the matter is, nobody knows what’s going on, nobody has the faintest idea… the best guesses are lies, you may be sure of it. And so to pretend that one human being will lead another out of the dark night of ignorance and into the shining light of truth is ludicrous, absolutely grotesque, a product of this empowering of the human image that has gone on through several thousand years of dominator culture. If you want a teacher, try a waterfall, or a mushroom, or a mountain wilderness or a storm pounded seashore; this is where the action is, it’s not back in the hive… Knowledge is provisional and we have yet to approach the first moment of civilized understanding. The way it is to be done is by trusting yourself, trusting your intuition. Reject authority… it’s not real…To the degree that we are committed to ideology, any ideology, we are poisoned; Marxism, Catholicism, Objectivism, you name it, rubbish. What is real is experience, what is real is this moment. What are the frontiers of experience? How much of that has been taken away from us by these dominators, by these priesthoods, by these cults, by these philosophical shell games? Well a lot. That is the whole story of history. Our growing malaise is about the fact that we are kept from the wellspring of experience...
