It's wonderful to see something like this as a post, rare. Generally all I see lately is a ton of negative rants on the same 5 topics in politics, conspiracy, medicine and fear porn terrorism. Perhaps I'm stuck in a toxic algorithm. I follow Advaita Vedanta, or inquiry, which leads to the Self. One of the best books on this is I Am That by Nisargadatta.

Sounds like Dr. Brian Sovryn – the only libertarian-esque figure I've heard consistently call for ahimsa for over a decade.

"The paradox of centeredness in ahimsa is that you will be better prepared for war." ???????

That is, indeed a paradox. Sort of like the carnival tent with the hawker calling out, Come see paradise on earth. And when the curious enters the tend he beholds a pair of dice on a pile of dirt.
