Following up on the last post, and in response to this IPS thread on Supermind:
Today's word of the day is nonesuch:\ NUHN-suhch \ , noun;.a person or thing without equal; paragon.
I can see that in a particular activity, like
basketball (Jordan), or even in a particular philosophy (like Aristotle
for his time). But these pass in time and others replace them as the
best in a very particular domain. However when it comes to an nonesuch
for ultimate reality for all time, like Jesus for heaven etc., there is nosuch
thing or person. That very notion is archaic, counterproductive and
even harmful to contemporary society. And as this thread attests, Wilber
follows Adi Da in setting himself up as the nonesuch avatar for eternal
ultimate Reality as such. It is also highly questionable whether he is
even the unparalleled nonesuch for this very particular (not ultimate)
nondual state. Ordinary ego inflation is rampant in this evolutionary
spirituality business, something readily apparent and repulsive to most of us.
