Smokey room, hehe. Good insights. I was lucky not to have to spend much time with the initiators back then. Once I had to take care of Jagdeo for some reason, or maybe he kind of just dragged me into making his breakfast. I have to say, not knowing all the things we know today about him, I immediately got creeped out by him.
The only one I ever spent time with was Diego, who somehow clung to me. Maybe because I wasn't so fawning or something. I liked him though and I didn't have to buy him stuff. On the contrary, he was brought up super upper class and I think he liked that I could never be upper class no matter how hard I tried. I remember him saying that he had to learn how to eat normal food because his mother had trained him only to eat the finest.
I don't remember his spiritual riffing though. Just the funny chitchat.
