Tortured and verbose... giggling. Yes that describes an attempt to follow TC's writing. I've had to re-read some paragraphs 3 or four times to see what he is getting at. I still admire him. He does that on purpose to make sure you are forced to think through the concepts, or because he was trying to create a cult following, which is less honorable. He tries to re-define everything with unique terminology and uses pounds of paper to say the same thing that could have been done in a single phrase. Like Goswami he is attempting to cause a paradigm shift in awareness, where consciousness is understood as the foundation of all being. Goswami is a lot less inventive but no less creative in his approach. People raised in Eastern traditions view things from a spiritual center. People raised in Western tradition view things from a material idealism (where the spiritual is often viewed as not real). Both authors address the subject as scientists attempting to blend material realism with the realism of conscious awareness at the root of it all. Comparing their teaching is arduous but worth the effort if you have a few ... well, a lot of time on your hands. My personal observation is that I see people jumping back and forth, struggling in a conflicted situation much of the time... spiritual teachings are good for you to be part of in church but do not belong in the real world, sorts of thinking. So I admire their effort to help people get comfortable with an acceptance of everything (physical and non-physical) as real; and they are able to do it without insulting religious or non-religious people in the process.
