Internally inconsistent

No rating

The internal inconsistencies were too great for me at about 25% done. She says that you can't remove the religion from a religious practice and maintain its benefits. She rails against Western, white co-opting of Eastern religious practices. Then she later talks about her use of ayahuasca. Which is totally a Western, white co-opting of a religious practice THAT IS NOT HER CULTURAL HERITAGE! OK for thee but not for me, merely because you're not white?
