There is no doubt that to be convinced that what you are all about as a contemplative is somehow revolutionary, or to even be conscious of it being akin to some sort of a revolutionary intent, is nothing other than eccentricity. It is as unfortunate as it is unavoidable. To not acknowledge that you are/were at some point vulnerable to what your ego is trying to press contemplation would be to lie. Contemplation is trying to be something in you. It does not need your help. That is why it is best to avoid all of the trappings that might create something theatrical. These things are only affectations...regressions into hermit role-playing, and a grave danger.
