of Chogyam Trungpa
would be foolish to study more advanced topics before you get to know the starting point, the nature of 'I; speculate about half would be pure fantasy. These speculations may take the form of advanced ideas and descriptions of spiritual experiences, but only take advantage of the weakest aspects of human nature, our expectations and our desires to see and hear something picturesque, something extraordinary. If we begin our study with these dreams of extraordinary experiences, 'enlightening' and dramatic build expectations and preconceptions so that later when we'll actually working on the trail, our minds are largely occupied by what is rather than what is. It is destructive and dishonest exploit the weakness of people, their expectations and their dreams, rather than presenting realistic starting point: what they are. You must, therefore, from what we are and why we seek.
