Huh!

Since you are the only one I can talk to (I think), I will leave my comment here.

All this talk about the "personal", as if we are denying anything of the sort? Integral Theory teaches us two streams of Awareness - States and Stages, and the personal becomes both. The personal is a combination of our intrinsic goodness and that which we use to express it. Flawed as it is, it is in a constant flux and we had better at least recognize that Goodness continues to strive for greater awareness regardless of its particular vehicle. Which side of your face are you living, the mundane history we share is only half of the picture, we must also witness the future. That requires a radical release from history (our sorry ass) confined to the monopolizing mind of a past. It's fine if you want to wallow in your dungeons of despair, but don't blame me if I see it as self-induced. We are trapped only as far as we imagine it, if your drug of choice is self-pity and misery, please keep it to yourself.

I see this as one of the hard-line Absolutist, Arhats finally waking up to real Non-duality. He is an heretic, I'm sure, according to some of his peers - who are no longer peers. 

It's interesting how you see it so differently. You see it as a drop in perspective. I'm seeing a gain in added perspective.
