At a certain point it's such a big fat paradox: everything and everyone is our guru, helping us realize more of our human potential. Or firing up more areas of the brain. Pick your language. We realize that our great master, Maharishi for me, was a major force in our getting to this point. What to do? Hold on in gratitude? Ungratitude? Love? Hate? Indifference? Doesn't matter. Something called life or beingness is holding on to both of us. Of course the master knew this before us and has been lovingly letting us go from the very beginning. Now it's up to us. OTOH, maybe it always was.

Like a budget motel, with cigarette burns on the faux marble sink, or a used car salesman selling a stolen car, he's just sort of a cut-rate, two star (out of five), guru guy. He should advertise on late night TV, and drive around in a beat up white Corvette, license plate: SKEEZR. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" <cardemaister@...> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "card" <cardemaister@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > Another faux guru bites the dust: > > > > > > http://whatenlightenment.blogspot.nl/2013/06/andrew-cohen-and-fall-of-guru-in-age-of_21.html > > > > > > > V*tun hyvä puhuja!
