"Being in the waking state is not a matter of addiction". Spoken like a True Addict!! :-)

Were it true that those 'addicted to the Waking State' see enlightened ones as their enemy, no guru would ever have a job, because everyone starting out is stuck there. In terms of schemes of enlightenment, a person in deep sleep, dreaming, or waking has no choice in the matter. CC, GC, UC, and BC are also waking states, if you assume these states also exist. The term 'addicted to' is simply to cast aspersion. Those who come to FFL certainly ought to be able to see that those here, enlightened, or on the enlightenment path, or having abandoned the enlightenment path, are all rather unpleasant people, by virtue of what we write, and by virtue of what we write about each other. In person, maybe, some us might be more tolerable. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : No problem - Those addicted to The Waking State, always see the enlightened ones as their enemy. It is a fact of life, hence your visceral dislike of both me, and Maharishi. :-) Freddy gets a pass from you though - lol Better to do TM, asap, Barry, than continue this frustration over my enlightenment. Then, at the very least, you will know what you are talking about. For now, your ranting is simply a sad display of your ego-addiction.

Trying to live up to my reputation for posting coherent and well-thought-out material (not to mention occasional brevity), I should point out that I can actually tolerate narcissistic bores. I studied many years each with Maharishi and Fred Lenz - Rama, after all. What I can't tolerate is unintelligent, uninteresting, buffoonish narcissistic bores. :-)
