This is an interesting thread. Clarity a mistake? Is sobriety a mistake? And what of the warrior? Here is what I mean :
On the one hand, I understand and envy the psychologist that gives up all his posessions and money, inserts himself into the lowest level of society and poverty, and studies this realm by experiencing it first hand.
One the other hand, do you remember when Don Juan said "A warrior is never drunk." What does he mean by that? I used to think that it meant, a warrior should not drink alcohol, because it puts you in a position where you are risking power by losing inhibitions. But, after a couple years of not drinking, I came back to this and realized that it meant something else.
Think about it.
