As you struggle to come to terms with Culadasa's admission of sexual misconduct and "wrong speech", you can: 1. Tie yourself in knots trying to shoehorn this new information into your current model of enlightenment, or 2. Admit that your model is wrong
The only way one could imagine that they know what’s going on in a complete way is to eradicate notions of past and future and to largely strip away language. Which leaves us with an impoverished sense of knowing.

That's right. You can only be awake to the experience you're having. There's an infinite number of experiences you're not having right now, and you can't be awake to them. Impoverished or not, this experience is as it is. Imagining it to be otherwise is the problem.

That sounds like a very rich knowing of ultimate reality! Past and future are relative truths, conceptual. (Anicca occurs at ultimate level). Language is like 0.01% of mental phenomena but like 20% of what we "buy into". No past? No future? No language? Help me out of my delusion

But there's a very rich and pleasant knowing that sees things deeply ;)
