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.

Septic tank maintenance, as you put it, and legitimate tantra that doesn't mind hanging out in the charnel grounds and embraces the fullness of human experience...how can you be sure you know the difference?

I don't see this as an issue to be solved. There are a lot of people, however, working to dispel the toxic misunderstanding that science and spiritual inquiry are incompatible. Many of them work from within their native religion, many have abandoned all trappings of religion.

You cannot find truth while using a gnostic interface. Religion is an interface to destroy the ability to find truth, in the service of social order.

Religion refers to - charismatic narratives that install a social OS on the host mind (teachings), - the stance of the host (faith, submission, identification), - the maintenance institution (church), - the resulting cult itself (religiously permeated society or subculture).

I did not do that! Religion is neither useless nor just dangerous. It is simply the way most of our civilization was organized for most of the time, and provided the structure in which most people still think today. I don't claim that everyone should adopt my feeble ways instead!

The universe does not expose an interface that contains a manual to its API, comments to the source code or tutorial instructions for novice or expert players. There is no source that could give revelations. There is only what one can figure out using reason and observation.

Can you observe or infer any?
