Nabby, Just for fun I'm going to pretend you replied to my earlier "The Things Not Talked About" post and not this one. So in answer to your last sentence above, I'll turn it around on you -- don't *you* have any- thing better to do than what we see here on FFL? Your schtick seems to be to post TM and Benjamin Creme and UFO propaganda and call the folks who don't find any of them as fascinating as you do names. I can't remember you ever speaking much about your life, in a way that convinced me you have one. You have spoken of at least one past girlfriend, as if she was part of the distant past. You have spoken of your past Purusha involvement, also distant past. What you never speak of is your present. Do you have one? If you don't mind, tell us about the most uplifting and interesting spiritual experience you have had recently. To put my request in perspective, from my point of view you are free to believe that the TM movement is still moving; I am less convinced, that's all. Con- trary to what you claim I don't hate the TMO; I find it an interesting failed socio-religious experiment, and follow its exploits like soap opera because I was once a minor character in the soap opera, and am curious as to how it'll end. As I've told you many times, I'm not even a Buddhist, much less a Buddhist evangelist. As for "going nowhere," and being on a "dead-end road," I can see how you would believe that because I have no one in my life I call "guru" or "master" or even teacher, and some see thinking for themselves as an indication of failure. That said, if someone made the request of me I make of you above, at any point in the last ten years, I wouldn't have to go back any further than a few days to think of my most recent uplifting and interesting spiritual experience. If you have to go back to your days with Maharishi to come up with yours, I'd suggest that the path you and Bevan are on is possibly more reminiscent of a dead end than mine.
