Allow me to correct the record, *again*. Barry did not define satsang as sitting "live" with a teacher to start with; rather, he used the term as a description of this forum. When he asked me if I'd experienced satsang, I responded in that context. *Then* he switched to the "live" definition. And now he's pretending he thinks I was "deluded" to believe I had experienced satsang, when I was speaking of it *in exactly the way he had been using the term*. The propensity to use this kind of smelly tactic is one of the reasons I dislike Barry so much. Other than the "live" component, the rest of my electronic-satsang experience was exactly what he suggests: one-on-one interaction with a (presumably enlightened) TM teacher who thought he was not allowing me to tell "stories" (or to put it another way, who was telling me not to trust my own experience but rather to accept *his* story about what my experience was). I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a wise teacher using skillful means could say something that would help me penetrate the barrier of my current experience and see the deeper reality beyond it; and I suspect that could happen via an electronic forum, or private electronic communication, just as well. But the teacher I actually interacted with seems not to have had the skillful means to hand. ------------------------ Yahoo!
