Rick, I just finished the Harry Aalto batgap.com interview. That was good
criticism based on experience too. He has an amazing base voice but his
perspective by experience was piercing. Janet Sussman who lived in Fairfield
for years held weekly living living room satsangs too with folks where
Dear Rick, What does Sam Harris feel about the Vedic reverberations of
Sanskrit? And the ontology of the Unified Field transcendent experience in the
physiology? Does he have any experience with this that could allow him to speak

I agree,
I include the insights of atheism as a spiritual understanding if you equate
spiritual growth as a growth of an awareness of truth. My interest in
discovering what is real in life is no different now than it was when I was
into the Maharishi deal. Same motivation, just different content.

First, a belief in /reincarnation/ implies a belief in a /soul-monad/

Yeah, I agree with the bit about spiritual experiences being something that a

great at assimilating any kind of experience. I find too, that whenever I tried
to hold on to any spiritual experience, it went away. Once
