I too, appreciate CKs slogging, very much so.
On the areas we agree I find you a powerful aid in the effort to dispel irrational notions.... and on the areas we disagree I find your strong opposition, a motivation to dig deeper, in the way a Muse may inspire great art.
As for this being a place for gurus to die... where upon their funeral heap of broken logic, the wisdom of ages is composted and used to nourish the open mind..........that's one way to view what we do.
I would also say that its a place where the ideologies brought forth by certain gurus and other eminent thinkers, can duke it out, in the theater of the mind. There are fundamental differences of personal values that cannot be argued over, there are times when Primates will like whatever they like, logic and reason be damned. No matter how advanced or primitive, be it a banana or a theosophical stance, the monkeys have thier preferences and the Monks have their own. It can be a free for all sometimes, where there is much chicanery, obfuscation, and poo throwing, but often times breakthroughs are made that make this enterprise worthwhile, for those who participate.
Some eastern thinkers, of long ago began to believe that ignorance is an inherent part of the human mind, and that it will never be able to be " fixed" in a worldly way, though by practicing a disciplined life, one may be able to best cope with, or even transcend human limitations and sufferings.
