The Myth of Freedom
Posted by the Editor on Aug 7, 2010 in Ashtanga | 0 comments
“The attainment of enlightenment FROM EGO’S POINT OF VIEW is extreme death, the death of self, the death of me and mine, the death of the watcher. It is the ultimate and final disappointment. Treading the spiritual path is painful. It is a constant unmasking, peeling off layer after layer of masks. It involves insult after insult.”
–Chogyam Trungpa, “Disappointment,” approx. 4 pages into “The Myth of Freedom.”
