Well, I thought fer sure you'd say that Rama was a con man and a fake and had sexual relations with his students, like you said about MMY. Maybe you've changed your mind about that. It looks like you've changed your mind about the bun-hopping-levitation too.
>From what I've read, Rama left several million dollars, most of that given to him by his students to support his extravagant lifestyle. Barry probably gave Rama over $10,000 to be able to go see a movie with Rama. So, I wonder what that has taught Barry about giving money to people for spiritual instruction. What happened to all the money? So, how much does it cost to fly Rama over to Paris and put him up in a four-star hotel for a few days? Barry's part of the donation probably cost him close to $5,000. That's a lot of money to just spend just to be able be with your teacher at Disneyland. Go figure.
