If I had to guess he never made it past Sravana and even then only heard a tiny portion of the teachings and in a very informal and non-structured way (i.e. Satsang).
Beyond that there's also the supporting practices to facilitate purity and clarity of mind and I don't see any evidence of that in his blog.

I see.
I don't believe that existential questions can be answered by intellectual exercise.
Also, I give credit to the author of that article for seeing that "the emperor has no clothes", stating it, and acting accordingly. He did what he believed it, and as expected some people agree with him, others don't (as that article comments show).
I especially give him credit for not blaming anybody else (neither gurus, nor dogmas) for his delusions (as he thinks now), as many people tend to accuse others for their delusions and mistakes.
I didn't post this in the non-dualism forum, as I didn't intend to offend those adepts.
Obviously, I don't subscribe to non-dualism.
