For example, I know Bob has issues with Da Free John, who really was creepy. But he did write a few amazing books and was a spiritual genius on some plane. Same with Schuon: there is too much richness to pass by due a trivial event that we are all potentially fallible towards (albeit I really would hate anyone seeing me dance naked). tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-51106001357879808452023-02-07T02:05:03.518-08:002023-02-07T02:05:03.518-08:00Short TV documentary on Schuon’s legal ordeal:

I think sometimes you have to separate the things someone gets right from the ways they go way off the rails. I mean, David & Solomon still get a lot of love even though they screwed up spectacularly when it came to dealing with women. <br /><br />Put another way, if we have to cancel every spiritual leader who gives in to temptation, there won't be many we could look to for guidance - and possibly those remaining wouldn't be very relatable for the restuvus to follow. As always, by their fruits you know them, and if we're really fortunate we can learn from their mistakes as well.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-25424215280831551542023-02-06T17:06:08.797-08:002023-02-06T17:06:08.797-08:00Interesting book on that touchy, if not feely, sub...Interesting book on that touchy, if not feely, subject: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Way-Forward-Perennialism-Antinomianism-Frithjof/dp/1597311855/ref=sr_1_20?crid=32XMO714H3JK6&keywords=charles+upton&qid=1675731850&s=books&sprefix=charles%2520upton%2Cstripbooks%2C171&sr=1-20" rel="nofollow">The Way Forward for Perennialism: After the Antinomianism of Frithjof Schuon</a>, by Upton.Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-71430336379526805072023-02-06T16:58:29.072-08:002023-02-06T16:58:29.072-08:00It's.... complicated!It's.... complicated!Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-60137588770641104302023-02-06T16:18:22.366-08:002023-02-06T16:18:22.366-08:00Wasn't Schuon caught dancing naked with young ...Wasn't Schuon caught dancing naked with young gals in his older years?
