SK: idea for a meditation retreat
SK, I have no comment anymore about these gurus. After the sufi hyenas it seems like a sick joke. After Rajneesh I have lost my reverence for the Buddhas. You seem to have wondered if I am a guru. Actually, NOT! I have a funny story about that. The sufis once checked me out on that score, roving for fronts. I used to be able to give lectures on Ouspensky off the top of my head. (Why?). Such trash, as it seems now. But I flunked the test: I was an honest man! Can’t have honest men for sufi sheiks. Also, I suffer from reverse charisma: people run away screaming as soon as I enter the room.
Still, I think I should lead a meditation reteat.
I once on my travels and wanderings lived for a whole month in Penn Station in New York with no money. There’s a meditation for you. A whole month. It’s easy to survive there: people catching trains throw away lots of food. You can scrounge in the trash cans. The caves of Almora are too ritzy. Penn Station in the midst of immense distractions is better as a meditation space. Yep, nice.
So, get ready.

Are you being tongue in cheek or did you literally do this?

Definitely happened, although I toned it down a bit to make it a ‘mediatation retreat’ for sk.
