more explicitly: a personality disorder increases the suffering of self and others. enlightenment decreases the suffering of self and others. that's the theory, anyway.

Hey how's it going, worms?
. I’ve found heuristic truth in Leary’s take that one has to feel good to do good.
But operators tell me heightened states of blissful consciousness are also quite useful for killing.
Hey Vinay. Apparently I wasn’t supposed to tag you in on this. Seeming as you’re here now — sorry you lot — I wonder if you care to elaborate on what the nath tradition consider to count as enlightenment? Relationship between enlightenment and behaviour/personality?

It's a mahasiddha tradition. As with Vajrayana, the closest Buddhist tradition in both geography and style, enlightened beings manifest in a huge range of personalities. Sharp contrast with, say, Zen where they seem to converge as they get closer to enlightenment. No idea why.

Remember, too, I have next to no visible teaching activity. Very nearly everybody I refer to my teachers. Two or three people I teach in private. There is no cult. At which point, who cares? Go police somebody who's fucking their students wives or children.

This is why I generally regard the occasional bouts of shrill sniping at me as idiotic. Nobody who's actually looked at how I spent my life, and what I did with my talents, has any reason to complain. Hard problems, solved well, with decades of effort in the public domain.
