My tru-believer friends here too typically go ballistic when Rick's name is
brought up in conversation. It is stunning to witness the vitriol when it come
around Rick from them. Polite conversation has to end when they pull it out and
let it fly around Rick. Seems they use Rick for their own purposes like some
Christians would use TM but this is a small element within TM anymore as it is
a small element within Christianity to do with TM.
It always surprises me when I hear that. I heard Wally DeVasier reacts that
way. I’ll have to ask him why next time I run into him. Is it FFL, which I set
up but am hardly involved with? Is free speech really that reprehensible? I
think it’s healthy. Is it Batgap – through which I might be seen as “promoting
other teachers”? I think it’s healthy for people to realize that there are
numerous channels of spirituality around the world, and that their way is not
the only way, or even necessarily the best way. May be best for them, but
different strokes for different folks, as Sly sang. Is it my Amma involvement?
I’ll have to ask. Inquiring minds want to know. Buck, maybe you can ask for me
next time one of your friends goes ballistic. Please do, and let me know. Don’t
just post it here, as I may miss it.
