Seekers on Unique Paths

I didn't realize they were that close. I stopped paying attention when Erhard got into some kind of 'pickle' and had to give up control of EST. There were many pop culture heroes in those days and though their stars burned brightly, they were often short-lived.

Erhards background is what got him a pass from me in the first place. The Zen Consciousness around at the time, was the most all encompassing ideology for a time of rapid change. I had a personal friend who truly freed my mind through ZEN and writers like Hesse, Watts, and illuminated my world with things like this:

Sit
Rest
Work.

Alone with yourself
Never weary.

On the edge of the forest
Live joyfully
Without desire.

The Buddha

My friend went on to Sufism and I lost touch with him. Teachers come and go at the right time.
