To some friends I wrote this:<br \/>\n&#8220;There is a new opera by Theo Loevendie, The Rise of Spinoza. Spinoza was the man who was disqualified centuries ago by the Jewish riesthood in Amsterdam, called MA&#8217;AMAD and was sent away with a terrible curse. Ever read it? (<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baruch_Spinoza#Expulsion_from_the_Jewish_community\">The curse<\/a>, I mean).<br \/>\n(&#8230;&#8230;.).<br \/>\nNB The name ma&#8217;amad\u00a0sounded like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sringeri.co.in\/History.php\">Matha<\/a> that Shankara founded in India, so I looked it up.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hansvandergugten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/home_27.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3762\" src=\"https:\/\/hansvandergugten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/home_27.gif\" alt=\"home_27\" width=\"439\" height=\"308\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHere is the brand new opera: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LTnMjoca4VM\">Theo Loevendie &#8211; The Rise of Spinoza<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A long line that was; from neo bashing, disqualifications, descartes bashing, to hearing that there is a new opera about Spinoza, student and critic of Descartes, who was rudely disqualified by his community, fiercely in fear for his truth. (In fact not the whole community, it was the jewish pandits that got rid of him).<\/p>\n<p>I recently saw a much appreciated video by\u00a0 Adyashanti:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Dgud3nkQ4r0&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;list=PLwBxg78hmjPtO4rodYH1q2mauUE6zFCOK\">Transcendence as a Stage in Awakening &#8211; Adyashanti<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And there was this interview with the very same Adyashanti<br \/>\n(Spiritual Awakening: A Radical Shift in Identity &#8211; Wake Up Festival 2012)<br \/>\nabout which I wrote to the same friends: &#8220;<span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS;\">For me this interview kind of represents the current stage of learning about spirituality in the Western world, after the World Wars and the collective march out of the christian churches.
