I get the impression (especially in his earlier talks) that he cares very much what he says. >He is funny and charming but still >deadly. Definitely! >I find it essential the way he takes away the concept of the absolute, the >image of God, because it's just another concept/idol that gets in the way of >naked awareness. Yet, he would freely deny importance (and perhaps even reality) to " naked awareness, " claiming that it interferes with the smooth functioning of the physical organism! He's far too oriented toward the physical. Buddha also denied absolutes (and the God-concept), yet did not go so far as to deny reality to everything but animal physicality!
