Wow, what a great interview. I really enjoyed it – having read some of the articles written it definitely clarifies Cameron’s position, to me one of absolute integrity. I look forward to the day I can catch one of his classes, maybe Wanderlust NZ next year!
Awesome Kara-Leah. Love it xo
Yawn…my first inquiry…looking at his eye movements…..”is he under the influence of a drug?”. I find the topic a bit interesting, but in no way deserving of his 30 min. story. A total contrast to the being I saw in the flesh @ Wandy, that’s my discernment.
He seems like a very thoughtful, rational, and enlightened individual. I agree with almost everything he said.
Hey Michael,
That’s what I’m always trying to figure out… how enlightened is this person? Then again, is it possible to be a “little bit” enlightened? It was certainly illuminating to talk to Cameron 🙂
Hey KL
Thanks for this video. I like this guys style., he is right there is no box.
“how enlightened is this person?”
Many traditions say “Are we not all enlighten if we come into a precious human birth? The challenge Is just realizing it. If it had a moment in time that it started, maybe it is not real. Go deeper, as its timeless and it never had a beginning in time..
We all have multiple intelligence, We might be a genius in one area and a nincompoop in another areas..
This is a good take on Should spiritual teachers sleep with their students? From a developmental perspective.

“Should spiritual teachers sleep with their students? It seems this is a question whose time has come. “
Hiya, enjoyed this interview – He has a liberated view point…I don’t know if his view point should be followed religiously, that would be up to the individual. I did like how he spoke about how he practiced yoga, even while riding a bike etc – in that he was keeping it alive in his life, not just physically with postures…the other thing I liked is he said ” why don’t you take away every mistake and see who you would be right now “… His ideas seem to come from living, from winning, failing, through his life journey. I don’t know, it made me think, “who would I be right now, without my own personal bankroll of mistakes…perhaps we are better for having made them, is what he is getting at. Most yoga people I’ve met over a few years now, have a suitcase full of shit they’re trying to let go, I guess I found this interview about much more than teachers and students dating…a deeper message in there…we learn about not being so dam judgmental through doing yoga, so I like this guy’s open views, he shows his cards. respect.
Hey Nick,
Yeah, Cameron is interesting all right. I enjoyed the experience of stepping into his perspective and feeling it out – trying it on as such. There’s a lot to learn there for sure.
Cameron is certainly not my favourite person in the world, but I have to say that he has surprised me on this one and he made some very good points.
And congrats, you have a very nice site. I arrived to this post after reading quite a few that were equally interesting.
This egoistic hyper-individualistic philosophy just seethes with ignorance and delusion. What a horrible, insensitive, unaware man.
“Actually, the other and more cynical benefit the disembodiment parasite might confer is the feeling that I’m not really my body, so she’s not really her body either, which means that all that’s in the way of us having a good ole no-strings-attached kundalini boinkfest is her delusions of victimization, and my delusions of shame.” Matthew Remski
Matthew Remski writes a clear exposition on how Cameron Shane is here stating the philosophy of the hyper-individualist narcissist and, in the process, justifying sexual predatory behaviour. If you are in any way ‘fascinated’ by Cameron Shane, read this article and actually think about it.
