Spent one evening with Loch Kelly and one with Kabat-Zinn. I still believe Loch has a superior method and I am intending to spend a day in retreat with him this Saturday.His method is simple,effective and user -friendly.
However Kabat-Zinn exceeded expectations.He carries a very clear”hal” and I felt it all the way home on the taxi-ride back ,despite the more worldly discussion going on in the car.It was what I call the pristine state.However his idea that the world is changing radically because of the spread of mindfulness in the West is part of the New-Age megalomanic discourse that proves the ungroundedness of these people -projecting their hopeful fantasies upon the sinister reality of materialism and deadly conflict all around us.And I thought they are trying to practice acceptance!?
