Yes, I think he returned about a year and a half ago. It's good to have him 
back in the heart of the evil empire, hurling his Buddhism-inspired critiques 
at the dead-certain emperor.

Loy is just about the only person I have read who has convinced me (for a 
minute or two) that there might actually be something of value in 
non-dualism. He is a good stylist and writes thought-provoking material. AND, 
as if that isn't enough, I'm pretty sure he knows how to spell Ken Wilber's 
name, even though he seems to resist temptations to actually write sentences 
in which the name "Wilber" appears. (My spelling checker is beeping and 
blinking ferociously, in a cybernetic counterpart of a caterwaul. It demands 
that I change "Wilber" to "Wilbur." But without Ken's permission, how dare I 
comply? If I change the spelling, the terrorists will have won.)
