I am a Pacific Northwest redneck from farmer and small business lineage. We know about the hardness of life and how fragile hubris is because we are from peasant and warrior stock...I just happen to like Sophia Perennis philosophy.....haha :p

i skimmed a bit about perennis' philosophy--will definitely read more later. reminds me of what i've heard of india's historical attitude towards religions. i mean in that they embrace diversity and tolerance of different religions and adapted very well (at least historically). anyway, would be interested to hear your take on reality, like at the most fundamental level. just been on my mind a lot lately, and i like hearing other people's ideas :)
@hyperbolicist, I will write a little article about vipassana meditation, my primary training and retreat work was with SN Goenka from Burma. His training was developed for lay folk like you and me. Vipassana in the past was only taught to monastics so SN was a pioneer in the Buddhist mindfulness movement. Way befor all this bling-bling mindfulne$$ action now. Www.dhamma.org ...warning, this is not for everyone, it's dangerous cause the mind is the most powerful thing in the universe, it has things hidden that one may not be ready to face and see it is as empty as a soap bubble.
Sophia Perennis philosophy is my husbands favorite mind candy, it soothes the troubled heart.
