Every stage has its supposedly good reasons for skipping or circumventing spiritual practice so this is not unique to stage 4, but spiritual bypassing is pathological, not healthy. There are healthy forms of 4th order spiritual inquiry.

Specifically, qualitative data can still be regarded as data and inquiry can be of exterior or interior phenomena. Just because we had a traumatic dissociation in the west doesn't mean science and spirituality are incompatible by default.

The main reason is that all readily available forms of spirituality seem to be filled to the brim with parasitic mind viruses. Spiritual practitioners routinely ask students to leave their rational capacity at the doorstep, and embrace the destruction of their epistemology.

No he doesn't. He jumped into the septic tank and then devoted his life's work to disinfecting as much as he can. But I don't see the point in jumping into the septic tank if you want to get clean, other than as a spectacle for others that want to study cleaning techniques.

He's an American baby boomer (if just barely). He was born into the septic tank.

Lotuses are not necessarily literal lotuses as I'm sure you already know... This thread is taking a strange turn, starting with perspectives on 5th order awareness and now you're insisting on there being one right way to understand things and making literal interpretations.

If every object is representational then every lotus is a metaphorical lotus.
