I don't think so, Turq.
Or, that they *know* that reincarnation is a scientific principle; or that it is possible for a person to 'hover' in mid-air for an extended time in a room with thousands of other people; in a room that was filled with so much 'golden light' that even the security guards were able to see a light radiating out of the top of Fred Lenz's head? Or, that 'work' has a 'karmic' payoff; or that there is a 'reward' for doing good? Or, that they believe in 'spirits', but not in 'gods'? Or, that there is a 'place' we go to after we die, called the 'Bardo', but only for a few days? I don't think so, Turq - you're the only one. <snip> > I'm calling bullshit on this one... > I'm calling you a True Believer (TB), Turq! > Call me crazy, but I'd have a lot more respect > for someone who leapt into the fray defending > Maharishi, TM, and the TMO by saying, "I *do* > believe in all this stuff I am clearly defending" > than I do someone who defends it while pretending > *not* to believe in it themselves... > You're the only 'crazy' TBer to post stuff like this: Self?
