reading paul brunton's search in secret india

can't help contrasting with koestler's lotus and the robot

the former is a 'seeker', and well in the scene, 

the latter is a skeptic, who never sees beyond the walls of his own cultural thought

who would've thought

but Jinns  ?!?!?!

Again the hole in the head? In a book leading to ramana mharishi ? This is coming barely a week after i heard it in TRS (Palga Rinpoche2) , and BeerBiceps himself got started on south american shaman mushrooms, like in delanda destratified and also in  be here now (leary went and got mushrooms but alpert didnt) 

And the cover is exactly the same as the cover art for gandalf, sacred river album, which i erhm got in the avaxhome days but didnt listen to

Cant help comparing to 'my journey home', which didnt do it for me, it seemed like a designer collection of whos who on the spiritual circuit

Also, hardcore zen

Lets face it, my real calling were the posts on the ranprieur website, that rdigest piece on sudden joy a la emerson/whitman, and the infinite deviceless exploration of the kannur coast, roads etc on my red hero ranger
