Talking about awakening and how it's a great thing, but raiding people based on it or giving them more power is unsupportable. Humans are wired to seek parental figures, but as the human species grows up, there will be less of that issue. There's a misconception that awakened people are morally superior, but waking up is not the same as growing up, cleaning up, and showing up.
Michael Taft, a long-time meditation teacher, author, and founder of Deconstructing Yourself blog and podcast, discusses the stages of personal development and the awakening path, deconstructing reality, and the benefits of a regular meditation practice.
