"Take Me for a Ride: coming of age in a destructive cult"

..
"So I knew it wouldn't be easy. But at the same time I...had to be
myself...I was never particularly interested in impressing others.
Otherwise I would not have been part of the Woodstock nation.
I rejected society ages ago, and came back to it because it seemed like
an interesting thing to do...
"I began to hear rumors that well, I was--I don't know what I
was doing--I haven't listened to much of the rumors but I guess,
umm, I don't know, that I was making love to millions of women,
or something like that, uhh, I don't know. That hasn't been the case;
it might be a wonderful idea, but to be quite honest, I haven't the time
because I'm very busy; it's very demanding running a spiritual community.
It might be a heck of a lot more fun than some of the things I do...
"I've been very fortunate without one exception;
all of the women I have ever met and have been involved with
have been wonderful. Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.
And I feel they have all been my teachers. As are all of you my teachers...
"But I think it's time everybody grew up. And stop being so petty.
About their own lives or other people's lives. And instead,
turn their attention towards what matters: money! Sex is the
preoccupation of adolescence.
