Yep, went back and read posts 312097 and 299555. I pointed out to the "Muni of Monte Cassino" (a number of times) that none of the descriptions of his purported "Unity Consciousness" conform to Shankara's explanations - whether in the BrahmaSutraBhasya, UpanishadBhasya or BhagavadGitaBhasya.
Such "grand enlightenment" appears to have been Robin's own neo-Advaitic epiphanies later aggrandized and grafted upon Maharishi's explanations. Maharishi's descriptions themselves are a form of neo-yogic advaita and Robin was unwilling to tacitly match his own purported "enlightenment" with the explanations of traditional advaita. He wouldn't even continue a conversation bringing it up for consideration. This unwillingness was, for me, a clue to Robin's delusive self-absorption . --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "emilymae.reyn" wrote: > > I re-read the whole piece - pretty interesting, really.
