Transcription
"pleading with us to read certain passages + books. He announces that he is divorcing [redacted] + identifies his 25 year marriage as a ’karmic debt’ that is now repaid. So painful. He vilifies other friends who are trying to help him. This is what extreme sorrow, confusion and anger/betrayal does. It is not hard to see how someone becomes radicalized."
