Big words, pointless fucking analogies, metaphors, and so much vagueness I can barely tell what I skimmed over. 'Truth', 'wisdom', 'spirituality'. That's when you know they're full of shit. Nice words with no real meaning.
He's trying to talk about something valid and make a point, but the way he does it is nauseating, to me. Got a Chopra/Coelho vibe. It's, well, bullshit. Taking right out of the ass. Making shit up. When you take a closer look, you'll see there's really nothing there you didn't already know, it's just dressed up in words used in a wrong context.
I know those words usually come from religion, but that's not what he's talking about here. He's an atheist. It may have made more sense if you had read it.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
