ha ha. I don't think it's about advaita/neo-advaita. It's about the pretentious elitism that goes hand in hand with both.

I love this video

Teacher gets taught

Here is a link to the 'original' text:
http://nonduality.org/2010/08/10/the-advaita-trap-by-jeff-foster/
The last words of the text speak volumes. This somehow gets lost in the cartoon.

The first minute and a half

The first minute and a half are hilarious. Kinda dragged after that.
The male dog sounded a bit like a robotic Cary Grant.

Not that I buy the notion that all such talk is necessarily without value.

It says what it says.

Witty cartoon. And it's making the rounds quite quickly.

I'm going to see if I can contact its creator, nondualxtra, to ask him/her if he/she intentionally titled the 'toon The Advaita Trap, versus The Neo-Advaita Trap.

I'm suspecting that that he chose the title deliberately and meant Advaita, not Neo-Advaita.

If he/she responds, I'll be happy to post it here.
