Your conversation with Sonya Renee Taylor is fantastic. As a practitioner of Buddhism, I have been dismayed that the focus is on the universal or the individual, without recognizing that our society is the source of some of our most powerful and damaging delusions. Taylor’s work is an outstanding contribution toward recognizing and dealing with this issue.
