Why should self-inquiry be modeled on impersonal research, scientific or philosophical? Why strive for precision, unbiasedness, the careful disentangling of confounds, and other scholarly virtues? Why not decide on a political 'intervention'? You ask, 'who?, whom?', that is, you discriminate subject from object; you ask 'cui bono?', that is, expose who it is who ultimately 'enjoys' your experience? These are not abstract questions, everything is at stake in them, you are nothing if not a revolutionary. And you must be ruthless, because if you don't retain the initiative and neutralise your opponent by any available means, then he will do it to you - and you will be left holding on to a futile 'spirituality' and a stinking heap of good intentions.
