His effort towards taking away all that which the "spiritual ego" clings to and make people realize that they are far from truth of the Self even if they are somewhat on the right track by moving into the "spiritual domain" is effective. And so is his analogy with the dark room. Socrates dedicated his whole life towards showing people how little they really know in proportions to what they "thought they knew", and thus giving them the opportunity admit to the lies they had lived on, and start the real and authentic search from a point of not-knowing. Reaching the point of not-knowing is the hardest part for most people, and also the essential first step in the authentic search for Truth. I feel his effort is along these lines, and therefore of high integrity.
His "new/fresh" concepts and words serve this purpose also, and so does his "denial" that any known "figure" ever realized the true Self/Oneness. His whole effort is towards taking things away that many still cling to and identify with. Only by letting go of all such identifications can one get a taste of real Oneness which he calls the "Sovereign Integral". I really enjoyed the freshness of this interview as one of the better things Camelot has done lately.
The Anu story is somewhat similar to what is only vaguely hinted upon in the Handbooks from George Green.
His "quantum breath" method etc. is a very good method for getting glimpses of the state of no-mind and of learning to always come back to the present here and now. Training the mind to not run into past/future "dreams" all the time. There is a saying in the east (at least I have heard it somewhere
) that if you can sit still with closed eyes and remain
totally present for just 5 full minutes you have realized the Self. If you "forget yourself" in a daydream for as little as just a second you must start all over again. Trying this is a great way to feel how strong the mind-prison really is. And it can also be humbling and a tell-tale sign of where one really is along the Scale (this test is also independent of "knowledge" just like the quantum breath method). Rather strange that we should not be able to control our own mind and instead it controls us, is it not? Like a dog walking its owner and not the other way around....
That being said: Even a small glimpse of clairty is enough to tell us which direction to move towards. Without such a glimpse we are all fumbling around in the dark room no matter how much "knowledge" we think we have gathered. That accumulated "knowledge" is, in fact, the very darkness that prevent us from seeing clearly.
