Well, I miss both the irony AND what you are trying to say about what I actually said.

How on earth does what he told you last year validate that, in your mind? I think this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen you say. Of course he stopped meditating once he decided his enlightenment had been his downfall, after everything had gone flooey for him. What you have no basis for having an "impression" about is that he stopped before then. And just for the record, when he told you he no longer meditated and that he suspected it might make him feel better if he did meditate, he was being gently ironic because it was such an incredibly dumb question for you to ask, given what he'd posted about what he'd been through. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <LEnglish5@...> wrote : I asked him specifically if he still meditated, and he said no, and that he suspected that if he did, he might feel better. My impression is that he had stopped meditating well before his epiphany that Hindu stuff was Bad, Very Bad™ because he believed he no longer needed to. I might be wrong, of course.

That's a conjecture with no basis in anything he or anybody else ever said. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <LEnglish5@...> wrote : I personally think that Robin went over teh edge as soon as he stopped meditating regularly. Why? Because Maharishi said over and over again, that the time when enlightenment dawns is the time of greatest unstressing and the time when regularity of practice is most vital. Robin apparently ignored that part of MMY's teachign completely: the more enlightened he considered himself, the less he bothered to meditate, or such is my impression.

Whether he was "more than a bit unbalanced" up to that point is a different question, one that "most people" aren't in a position to know. (Some people on FFL think you're more than a bit unbalanced, after all.) In his heyday, Robin had a lot of appeal, as Ann points out. Did you read the file I cited? I should think you'd find it of interest, given what he says about the TMO in that Ledger ad. You're always looking for data, and as I said, he agreed with your view of the TMO in many respects.
