I can relate to the way this guy thinks about his relationship to Mahamudra lineage, especially with his connection to Trungpa, and tensions between individual practice and religious institution Inspired Thinkers: Chogyam Trungpa and the Kagyu Mahasiddhashttps://www.stitcher.com/s?eid=51774605&autoplay=1&refid=asi_twtr …

In my (currently very rough) notes I sometimes refer to this as a sort of 'cultural resonance', where there are enough commonalities or practical applications between the person and the sphere (as they're manifesting in their world, the functional pivots in their patterns etc).

Hence why (maybe) someone may resonate strongly with some pretty essential points of mahamudra, and yet not be willing to say they're a buddhist or mahamudra practitioner, for example. This may seem obvious, or trivial, and yet I don't think we've really looked at this properly.

My current solution to this resonance/dissonance is to notice the ways in which the tension impacts on us (emotionally, cognitively, behaviourally), and then just play on that edge. This is how I train in a buddhist context, I play. This is hard to do uncynically & honourably.
