I've thought twice about tweeting this publically, but I wrote it while I was kind of feverish and out of it this week, and I think it's worth sharing more widely http://files.howtolivewiki.com/.meditation_2015/towards%20a%20political%20economy%20of%20enlightenment.pdf … looking at the $ costs of enlightenement practice and what might/won't work to accelerate us.

Also this podcast interview is fascinating & insightful Interviewee had such a strong yearning to practice that he wanted to ask a prison warden to lock him up (interviewee would pay for food) in solitary confinement so he’d have a place to practicehttps://www.guruviking.com/guru-viking-interviews-ep6-lorin-roche-phd/ …
So high cost but negligible benefit. But if it’s just minority weirdo people wasting their money to get consciousness kicks... why write and publish a 6 page pdf on how to do it (more)(better)(cheaper)? Maybe just for fun I guess.

I think most of the people I know, directly I”R”L or at one digital remove, who are dedicated to the “quest”, aren’t in it for consciousness “kicks”. It seems more like some part of their own consciousness or their own unique deep nature •kicked them• into the quest

So it’s a humanitarian thing
