that's because you open the books with the belief that its some sort of high
truth and I am looking at it like the authors were everyday guys who had
occasional out of the ozone experiences. Same way many take it as a given that
Marshy and other fakirs (or is that fakers?) are automatically considered
enlightened and can do no wrong.
The acceptance of Indian beliefs as something special is the reason we have so
much bull crap crap in the New Agers. It all started with Madame Blavatsky,
Annie Besant and Alice Bailey and their acceptance of and writing about the
Hindu mysticism. We could have done without it all, or as Edg would say, "BAH!"
I miss Edg - he was pithy and erudite all at the same time.

I can't help but think MJ,
that you have not had much exposure to some of the Vedic, or
Hindu literature. I say that because I think you sort
of misrepresent it. I am not saying that it is the
"ultimate Truth", but you are painting a picture
that I don't recognize, nor would, I think, most people
who have had some exposure to it.
