Rick, I hope you will stay mostly with a pool of wakened people who by experience are illumined for your interviews and not just some talking heads, even if they are famous professional talking-heads. There certainly is lots of ignorance to interview out there and other sources are certainly doing that. However I do feel you have done a splendid job particularly rendering down the Neo-advaita-ians down by your way of interviewing by experience that you do. I really am appreciating the last few interviews that cap this criticism of the in-the-mind- like advaita schools of sophistry. -Buck in the Dome Generally I do, but from what I understand of Sam so far, he cuts to the heart of the issue of belief vs. verifiable experience. I feel that issue has profound implications for religion, spirituality in general, and the foundations of modern culture. So Sam would fall into the same category as Hagelin, Menas Kafatos, Elisabet Satouris, and any other intellectuals I have interviewed or will interview who may not claim spiritual awakening, but whose insights should be of interest to anyone interested in awakening, and in the underlying forces driving the current social changes. I think those are much more radical than most people realize, but it’s hard to see them close up. <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=3920196/grpspId=1705077076/msgId=383043/stime=1399730591> <http://y.analytics.yahoo.com/fpc.pl?ywarid=515FB27823A7407E&a=10001310322279&js=no&resp=img&cf11=CP>
