Now, look at spraig's statement carefully: In the context of the TMO, anyone who discusses enlightenment is "off the program"... In the midst of an organization supposedly formed to promote and produce enlightmnent it's off the program to discuss it? What did George Orwell call it in "1984"? Double-speak? "I'm so glad I'm not an Alpha" - oops that's another book. JohnY To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
