I don't think you'd care for him much. Here's his description of one of the teachers who works with Saniel Bonder, from the Web site: "The second thing that caught my attention was seeing Hillary Davis work with one of the participants. Hillary, like me, has a background in Advaita Vedanta with Papaji. One of the central understandings of many in that school is that attachment to a person's personal story (how they see themselves, how they think of themselves and their past) is an obstacle to clear seeing and should not be taken too seriously. "What I saw as Hillary listened to one person's story of suffering was subtle and difficult to convey: I could clearly see and feel that Hillary was seeing this person as consciousness itself, free of all limiting definitions of mind AND AT THE SAME TIME Hillary was taking the person's story 100% seriously and seemed to be believing everything this person conveyed about their life experience. It was obvious that the person was being deeply seen as a person complete with limitations but not held to them, because they were also seen as being free of them." <snip> > I will admit that I didn't like her followers much, because > they had a tendency to ignore everything she was saying > about not doing *anything* to change their state of con- > sciousness during the satsang, and instead believed > that what they felt was all the result of darshan Is darshan something the *teacher* does? I thought it meant something the devotee does, in the sense of being open to whatever holiness emanates spontaneously from the teacher. If the teacher is the real thing, s/he can't *not* "do" darshan. That's what I've always heard, at any rate.
