Bhutan: Enlightenment thru sex, drugs, rock?

Drukpa Kunley (1455–1529), also known as Kunga Legpai Zangpo, Drukpa Kunleg (Tibetan འབྲུག་པ་ཀུན་ལེགས་, brug pa kun legs), and Kunga Legpa, the Madman of the Dragon Lineage (Tibetan འབྲུག་སྨྱོན་ཀུན་དགའ་ལེགས་པ་, 'brug smyon kun dga' legs pa), was a Tibetan Buddhist lama, missionary, and poet in the Drukpa Kagyu lineage of the [Himalayan Bon sorcery-influenced] Vajrayana Buddhist Mahamudra tradition [1].

• The Enlightenment Trap: Obsession, Madness and Death on Diamond Mountain by Scott Carney (Foxtopus Ink)

He was trained at Ralung Monastery under siddha Pema Lingpa. However, by the age of 25, he had returned his monastic [Vinaya] vows [2] to take a wife, whose name was Tsewang Dzom (tshe dbang 'dzom) [3]. He is often counted among the Nyönpa ("Mad Ones"). He is considered to have been a reincarnation of Saraha [4]. More

The Enlightenment Trap: Obsession, Madness and Death on Diamond Mountain

(Audiobook) Author Scott Carney has 4.3 out of 5 stars (with 137 reviews). The 2023 edition of The Enlightenment Trap includes two new chapters, photography, and updated total revision.

In 2012, 38-year-old Ian Thorson's search for spiritual transcendence ended in tragedy on a remote Arizona mountaintop. His wife, a woman anointed as a goddess by an eccentric Buddhist community, held him in her arms as he slowly died from dehydration and dysentery.

For Scott Carney, a journalist and anthropologist who lived in India for six years, Thorson's death was just the most recent iteration of an unspoken epidemic that connected intensive meditation and mental instability.

The Enlightenment Trap explores how Tibetan Buddhism in the West morphed from its roots in the Himalayan foothills into a fundamentally new American religion. For Thorson, the entry point into this new faith was Geshe Michael Roach, the supreme spiritual leader of Diamond Mountain University.

Carney unravels the cult-like practices of Diamond Mountain to illuminate the uniquely American tendency to mix and match Eastern religious traditions like LEGO pieces. The result is that for some, enlightenment is a synonym for almost god-like powers, and achieving it can become more important than life itself.

Aided by Thorson’s private papers and cutting-edge neurological research, the book reveals the profound impact of intensive meditation on the brain.

Carney exposes stories of miracles and black magic, sexualized rituals and tantric rites from former Diamond Mountain acolytes. The Enlightenment Trap is a gripping work of investigative journalism that reveals how the path to enlightenment can be riddled with danger.

What I found in Himalayas: skiing down

Mahavatar Babaji quotes

What I found in the Himalayas that the West couldn’t give me

(Increasing Frequency) Sept. 30, 2025: ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK. On my journey through the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas, I went searching for what was missing in my life — a deeper sense of meaning, peace, and connection.

Mahavatar Babaji in the Himalayas

Along the way, I encountered wise old babas, mystics who live in solitude high in the mountains, carrying with them timeless wisdom passed down through generations.

These mystical encounters opened my eyes to lessons that the modern world, especially the West, often overlooks. From simple moments of silence to profound conversations about life, purpose, and spirit, the Himalayas revealed truths I didn’t know I was seeking.

Join me on this journey into the heart of the mountains — where the air is thinner, but the wisdom is infinite. 🌄✨ #Nepal #AnnapurnaCircuitTrek #Himalayas

Skiing down the most DANGEROUS mountain

I skied down Mount Everest (world first, no oxygen)

Andrzej Bargiel: Red Bull paid

(Red Bull) Nov. 7, 2025: MOUNT EVEREST. Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mt. Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen. After nearly 16 hours climbing in the high altitude “Death Zone” (above 26250 feet or 8,000 meters, where oxygen levels are dangerously low), Bargiel clipped into his skis on the summit of allegedly the tallest mountain on earth [which may in fact be Mt. Sumeru or K2] and started his descent via the South Col Route. He reached Camp II that night and rested. The summit ridge and Hillary Step had taken longer than planned, meaning darkness made it dangerous and difficult to navigate further that day. The next morning, he skied through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall guided by a drone flown by his brother, Bartek, before safely arriving at Everest Base Camp to become the first person to ascend and descend Mt. Everest on skis with no supplementary oxygen.

Osho's cult: Sex to Superconsciousness

The night the ego called "Rajneesh" died and OSHO was born: March 21, 1953

(Mystics of India) Ego death for OSHO? What happened to Rajneesh on March 23, 1953

You say funny stuff, Guru. You must be awake.

Osho was Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, Dec. 11, 1931–Jan. 19, 1990), also called Acharya Rajneesh [2][1], now commonly referred to as Osho.

He was an Indian godman [3], hippie sex guru, philosopher, mystic [4], and founder of the Rajneesh Movement [1].

I'm like India's Einstein in silly slippers.

He was a controversial new religious movement leader during his life. He rejected institutional religions [5][1][6], insisting that spiritual experience could not be organized into any one system of religious dogma [7].

As a money and sex guru, he advocated meditation and taught a unique form called dynamic meditation.

Rejecting traditional ascetic practices, he encouraged his followers to embrace life fully [hedonism] while remaining unattached to worldly desires. More

Those interested in Osho (Acarya Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh) may also be interested in other psuedo-holymen sex gurus selling easy enlightenment to the West:

• Bikram (rape charges in Bikram Yoga)
• Nithyananda (on the lam in India)
• Sakyong Mipham (Shambhala's alleged rapist)

Not the Buddha but Vajradhana

(wocomoHUMANITY) April 16, 2024: The wild 1970s followed after the liberating 1960s. There was a quest for higher consciousness, spirituality, and sexual freedom. In his ashram (religious compound) in Poona, India, Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh (aka Osho) urges his disciples to meditate and practice tantric sex in order to reach a higher level of consciousness.

Hugh, the guru’s bodyguard, watches his ascent on people. Sheela becomes his [killer] secretary and the powerful boss of Bhagwan Rajneesh’s community in the mountains of Oregon.

Send money, and I will "initiate" you into tantric sex?

The guru, decried as "sex-guru” by the Western media in the 1970s, is now making headlines with his Rolls-Royces and Rolex watches. The dream turns into a nightmare, for Hugh it turns into a mental breakdown, for Sheela into a prison sentence. Where did it all go wrong?

Kundalini Syndrome: Third Eye or Schizo?

The Third Eye, Schizophrenia, and Kundalini Syndrome: I wasn’t ready for that level of manifestation

The third eye is the sixth chakra

(Eye Opening) In this video, I share my personal experience of a spiritual emergency, a spiritual crisis, kundalini syndrome, or psychic trauma (however one wishes to label it) that happened not too long after I had a life-changing experience of my third eye suddenly opening.

• The seven main chakras along the spine are nexus points associated with different areas of life, the lower three being rooted to the earth in the body, the heart being the centered transitional point, and the upper three "spiritual" spinning energy wheels, which is the literal meaning of chakra. The lowest is survival (lum), the next is sexual (vum), the third is digestion and assimilation (rum); the fourth is the heart (yum), a green-hued area vibrating frequency; the fifth is the throat (hum) about expression and speaking our truth; the sixth is the most famous, the third eye (aum or om) between the brows; the seventh is silent at the crown of the head, full release.

I ended up hospitalized for a week, heavily medicated, and diagnosed with "schizophrenia" and "bipolar disorder" ["mania"]. I am neither of those.

Western medicine doesn't know how else to label what was happening to me. I was simply having a spiritual awakening and did not have any guidance, so I slipped into fear.

The intention of this video is to give some advice so that others do not have to go through what I did.

(BBC World Service) July 14, 2024: Investigations and #BBCNewsBrasil uncover the truth behind the rise of wellness influencer and spiritual life coach Kat Torres and the international search for her sex trafficked followers.

Former Brazilian model, wellness influencer, and spiritual life coach Kat Torres was an inspiration and a lifeline to women all over the world. More than a million people on Instagram followed her extraordinary career trajectory from extreme poverty in Brazil to a European modelling career and a life of luxury in the US.

Slo-Mo Battle: Eckhart Tolle vs. Ram Dass

A dialogue with Ram Dass and Eckhart Tolle

(Baba Ram Dass) Let's spend an evening with gurus Ram Dass (former Harvard hippie Dr. Richard Alpert, Ph.D.) and Oprah's spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle (author of The Power of Now), as these two [Hindu-style] teachers engage in an open conversation about spiritual "awakening" [by which they seem to equate Advaita Vedanta principles or samadhi states with actual permanent liberation] and the transformation of consciousness.

• [The Buddha taught that samma samadhi, "right concentration or stillness," while very beneficial and leading to saintly qualities is not nearly enough for the attainment of actual awakening (bodhi) and liberation (nirvana). It may seem a fine distinction, but the Buddha's whole reason for teaching was to establish the Dharma in the world that had been lost for thousands of years or much long, in spite of the fact that we had the Vedas and Brahmanism and Indian teachers all of that time. If those things had been enough to bring people to enlightenment, he would have had no reason to establish "right view" and a "path of purification" that leads to a real/permanent state of moksha or "liberation." While Hinduism literally uses the exact same words -- nirvana, moksha, samadhi, karma, and the like, they mean very different things in the Teachings of the historical Buddha. Mahayana Buddhism, on the other hand, seems to have bought into the Hindu definitions and acts as a kind of popular sect of Hinduism more than as a form of Buddhism. But the average person will never know this without studying it deeply. Indeed, other religions have "salvation" and "liberation," but it is only because they are defining those words differently. From an Early Buddhist standpoint, the terms are being misapplied to impermanent states, to forms of rebirth in heaven or in the company of Brahma, as if one would stay there forever and therefore be free of samsara when someone was actually still fully immersed in the problem the Buddha found a final solution to.]

Rapper Lil Jon's "Total Meditation" (NPR)

Sensei Rap Guru Lil Jon; Usher, ft. Ludacris; CC Liu, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Just a few years ago Lil Jon was producing booze-promoting trashy rap hits like "Yeah!"

WARNING: Filth, "Yeah!" by Usher song featuring Lil Jon (who also produced the song) and Ludacris is a crass, vulgar sexual exploitation pop-rap hit song that got so big it catapulted Usher to the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show with Taylor Swift dancing in the bleachers to it and amping up footballer Travis Kelcey to win and go party on the Vegas strip with strippers and alcohol after the game.

Rap artist Lil Jon's latest album is a guided meditation

Ayesha Rascoe, NPR, March 3, 2024 (7:59 am ET) Weekend Edition Sunday (8-min listen)

A moment of Zen from NPR's Ayesha Rascoe (pronounced \eye-eesh-uh ross-koh\): She talks to rapper DJ producer Lil Jon who's all turnt up about his new guided spoken word album, Total Meditation, finding peace while being the life of the party. [He got uh kol'ina'skuppy at fiddy, so maybe he koming dahn? It's a Southern thang (Rascoe's accent) y'all woodent git it.]

If you shake your bottle rocket and hold it in your crotch, it'll pop off and shoot everywhere.

(LIL JON) Feb. 16, 2024: Now let's see if we understand this. The vulgar featured rapper who produced and sang on "Yeah!" with King of R&B Usher and Ludacris has had a change of heart and started practicing meditation?

(LMAFO ft. Lil Jon) "Shots" about binge drinking in social situations

Rapper/meditator Lil Jon

Moreover, he likes it so much, he's teaching meditation and laying down relaxation tracks on his latest album instead of the mindless rap and hip-hop songs fans expected?

Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu! (aka Hallelujah!) We're incredulous, but NPR's Blackest voice ever, Ayesha Rascoe from the Deep South (Durham, N.C.), assures us it's true on NPR radio ads.

She will be featuring the gangsta-rapper-cum-meditation-guide on tomorrow's episode of Weekend Edition Sunday (3/3/24).

Tune in to NPR at 8:00 am (Eastern), or at 2:00 pm (Pacific) as it repeats on scpr.org.
