tl;dr of everything he says.

I have mixed feelings about him. He claims "I have nothing to teach you" but then did hundreds of speeches and had dozens of books published.

He claims that you should be "choicelessly aware" of every moment of your life. He said that if you cannot pay attention, like if you are ADD, then you simply need to "be attentive of your inattention" but isn't that impossible?

I would agree that one should not beat oneself up about being inferior and that one should compare in order to gain, although many people cannot help feeling bad about being inferior simply because they have a weak personality.

However, it is very difficult to understand oneself without comparing oneself to others. If you go on a search for yourself alone you are prone to delusions and inaccuracies.

Weird thing is, I've met a lot of people who have said K was a stepping stone in their life. You eventually become so self-aware that you begin to question the teacher. I think K would be okay with this, he would see it as an awakening of intelligence.

Things only have meaning in comparasion to other things.

"4" only makes sense when it is less than 5 and more than 3.

Likewise being smart or strong only makes sense when you can compare yourself to weak or dumb things.
