Awesome? Sounds like a relative description. Looking from a fashion model's point of view, I'm probably fat! If I'm awesome, I must be fat... and since I don't want to be fat, I will let awesome slide off too. (Is being, in itself, enough?) Thanks though.
Sure! Though this is certainly something that could be named Epistemology, I think of it more as a way of 'becoming free of' (seeing byond) the labels we and others put on ourselves and each other. Whatever positive or negative ideas we have about our mental and physical selves and others, it is comforting to know that they are only relative, and not absolute. The moon may find the earth very big and attractive, but there are some planets that would laugh at it... and even those are rather petty compared to suns. Are those suns big or small? (A false question?...)
Osho, Tolle, Mooji, Adyashanti, to name some of the more famous ones. There are many intersting contemporary teachers out there. Osho is rather funny though.
