Title: Surfing the Himalayas of Rama's Ego
Review: I've just finished reading Lenz's "Surfing the Himalayas of My Ego" book. The first part of the book read like a high school girl's diary, then the writing style tightened up and actually wasn't bad. So too, a bit of content was interjected that was reasonably decent. Then the sh** storm started, a storm that was so incredibly logically inconsistent that it was offensive. But still fascinating. And we're not talking about inconsistent with respect to external frameworks, we're talking inconsistent within the framework in which the tale is set. Buying into that load would require extreme gullibility and the complete suspension of all of one's critical facilities. One begins to see where mind-altering drugs were a necessary part of the Lenzian "gatherings in the desert". Seriously, the book has no depth and it not only ignores standard tenets of Buddhism, it occassionally contravenes them as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
