A passerby says
I’ve listened to dozens of “the one you feed” episodes. This is the first one that was painful. When the guest is completely obsessed with gender and culture, it becomes evident that they are far from breaking free of this realm. At one point she hand-wrings about spiritual “cultural appropriation”; a little later she describes the smorgasbord of practices she utilizes; then she complains about “mansplaining” when the persons in question were simply wondering why she seems to want to assign a gender to the Source. Of course, all of that is fine, since this show is not specifically about enlightenment. Mirabai wants to position herself as an enlightened mystic and she has the “spiritual” lingo down, but she simultaneously locks herself into the use of dualist categorical language that actually functions as a mechanism to separate rather than unite and transcend. As host, sometimes it should be your role to gently challenge rather than simply pander to the agenda of a guest.
