I’ve barely given Zen a thought in decades, and not much when I did. It’s almost completely outside my interest. I might once have assumed that Zen and Advaita were kinda cousins, but I no longer do. I don’t even think Zen is worth writing about now, and upon further reflection, I agree with myself on that point; Zen is not worth writing about, but the art of seduction and science of delusion are worth writing about. That means Maya, and Maya is always a valuable subject of study because she is the only thing standing between you and your awakening.
