Brian, now I know why your posts are always so long! 
Well, again, they only amplify what is already there. I know lazy people who try them and say 'nothing is happening' and I know entrepeneur-like people who try them and say, 'this is exactly what I need.'
Kind of like how an insincere person can perform the motions of qigong and will get no bioenergetic benefit unless he is mentally 'there'.
It's rather like doing qigong by doing .. work, in-the-world work. You're cultivating yourself by challenging yourself. You increase your bioenergy through decisive action and intensity. This is what the world needs. More action AND more vitality/cultivation. Simultaneously.
The end result is greater complexity on all fronts... which includes longer posts fortunateley or unfortunately. 
Losing oneself in ones spirituality is selfish... and also quite a bit nonsensical as we will see a major environmental crisis within our lifetime. Make your monastery/meditation your work. "Flow" / "Natural Brilliance" all the way.

...I've read this article at least 14 times in the past year. And I keep coming back to it. This article is the most profound spiritual diatribe I have ever encountered. Gets my head out of the hazy clouds and back on earth.
