Sometimes it just boggles my mind to see this, not just in the TMO but across the board in Western organizations that follow Eastern traditions. It's like they assume that just because a teacher tells them one thing that seems to be true, or teaches them one technique that seems to be useful, that *everything* he says has to be true and useful. And the corollary, which is that there is something BAD and WRONG about you if you DON'T assume that everything he says is true and useful. It's just the weirdest thing. People who are other- wise rational put that rationality aside when dealing with someone they consider their spiritual teacher. ------------------------ Yahoo!
