I have from time to time wondered why such a wonderful system of emotional awakening is not better known after so many years. And it occurred to me that one key attribute it possesses is that it cannot be made into an obsession. It cannot be repurposed into a drug, an anesthetic. It is the opposite of an agent of dissociation.
Yoga can be used that way. Many yoga practioners are obsessive. “Meditation” in all its many forms can be used that way. And of course “compassion” and “kindness” are the closest thing to a religion many Westerners have. They NEED them.
The fruit of Kum Nye is enriched experience, nothing more. The goal is to spark a self sustaining reaction with no obvious outward signs. Even though it is precisely the medicine most people need, precisely for that reason it has no obvious appeal.
I think this is close to the truth. It has also been marketed poorly. It is hard to see where it has been marketed at all, anywhere, in any sustained, serious way.
When I am ready, I will do my part.
