Look Ma! We've made Boing Boing! Again! And again! Once again! Yet again! And once again!
.... I try to poop *in* the toilet, not *on* it.While we understand that gurus are held sacred by many, they are also public figures deserving of scrutiny. Our primary aim is to inject a little humor into what can be an excessively self-righteous enterprise, and to illustrate the primary truth that no matter how divine their devotees believe them to be, gurus poop on the same pot we do.

Pretty Funny.
I was wondering how much material of worth you would grant to any of these gurus...
Take Gurdjieff, as an example. Clearly an asshole who admits to being a criminal, but he does at least have a semi-original and unique body of ideas, of 'writing', if you will.
Is any of this stuff worth anything?
Hey Bill.
Self-realizationn exists independently from patterns of behavior. While I don't know that much about Gurdjieff, I can believe he spoke from experiential understanding despite the fact that he was an asshole. There is a long, hallowed tradition of assholes teaching self-realization. Gurdjieff is just one more of these.
