To Gonzo and other Jed lovers

[Turin Otzaki]

"Allegiance to any spiritual teaching or teacher-any outside authority-is the most

treacherous beast in the jungle. The first thing we want to do when we begin our

journey is find the companionship and validity that comes with an established

group, and in so doing we effectively end the journey before it begins.....

The power of our devotion to teachers and teachings is not a reflection of their

value, but of ego's will to survive. It's ego-the false self-that exalts the guru

and declares the teaching sacred...."
