First off, enlightenment aint all it's cracked up to be *or* MMY wasn't enlightened and therefore couldn't judge Robin adequately who couldn't have been enlightened even by Ms standard or he wouldn't have needed or even cared about a court case. I think I was right the first time though: enlightenment aint what we've been taught. And certainly nothing to do with the rest of nature and thus having no effect on it. The whole TMO story seems like a disaster compared to the legend about how great it is to be in the "supreme" state of consciousness. It must be a great trip but that's all it is I think, and every high has its come down. Look at the last few years of MMYs life and read Robins story, neither of them sell the big E to me but somehow the myths get perpetuated and we're all so needy for it that we take these people at their word that we too can gain the promised land when it isn't really that at all.
