I think you miss my point. He’s offering here a detailed explanation of how we can fail to integrate with what we value, and I point out that maybe that’s because he has such difficulty with it. I’m not making any particular point here about whether or not he is an expert in meditation, bodhi, etc. or whether that is relevant to sexual misconduct beyond it being an instance of failing to integrate his actions with what he claims to value. That most people manage not to engage in sexual misconduct, commit murder, steal, etc. doesn’t seem much relevant to the point of understanding the gears of how not to do it, even if most of us don’t need to know about the gears to get our desired outcome.
