Decoding the Gurus

CHAPTER

I I, I Went From the Good People to the Bad People.

i always think the complexity of the history of the cultures, that's the part that i liked from anthropology. There is a stark division in anthropology between essentially the kind of social anthropologist where post modern critical theory dominated and and annoys people. I did some tracing when i was there two years ago with my son, and just meeting people that share my name. And maybe i could find some physiognomy, or imagine that, you know, this is a spiritual tradition that i at least have some more connection to than i do to yoga. So it's what you said, we can all live on and we can talk sometimes. Raed.
