Just for fun, does anyone remember how I've characterized Judy as a 
"Robin cultist" in the past, lurking in the background just waiting 
for his name to come up again so that she can preach his virtues to 
people she's trying to "convert?" Well, she's finally progressed to 
"playing tapes" by him, posting links to his "greatest hits," and 
then, when people don't respond the way she wants them to, berating 
them for "not bothering to reread" them.

Might I point out that she's doing the same thing with Robin that she 
does with that *other* spiritual teacher she never met (Maharishi), 
and posting a set of quotes, then declaring that she "knows" what they 
mean and how important they are, whereas other people don't. Same 
cultist, different cult.

I am as uninterested in Robin Carlsen now as I was when he was here in 
person, as opposed to being present in absentia, having his virtues 
preached by one of his groupies. One of the reasons for this is that 
-- unlike Judy -- I place very little value on what a person SAYS. I 
assess them based on what they DO. In this assessment, as I remember 
it, I was joined by a number of people who were briefly part of 
Robin's cult back in the day, and who participated on FFL for a short 
while. Again, as I remember it, *with only one exception* (Ann) not 
one of them believed that Robin had "changed" in any significant way 
since the days they were involved with him. They looked at what he 
wrote on FFL, and how he treated people on FFL, and saw the same 
narcissism and the same abusive control freak they'd seen "back in the 
day." And they said so.

I tended to agree with them. I wrote Robin off as uninteresting after 
his first few "wall of words" posts. Then again, I have had the 
benefit of many discussions with a person who was a veritable expert 
on Narcissistic Personality Disorder back in Santa Fe, and thus 
recognized the NPD profile immediately. I had nothing to compare with 
from the past, but his *present* behaviors on FFL pretty much 
*screamed* classic NPD, and these present-day behaviors did not seem 
to differ significantly from any of the stories posted of his 
behaviors in the past.

So I stand now on the assessment I made back then. In my OPINION, I 
agree with Lawson -- Robin was never enlightened. The subjective 
experiences that he talked about were in my opinion the result of a 
bad "drug cocktail," consisting of the combination of lifelong, 
well-established Narcissistic Personality Disorder enhanced by the 
psychotropic effects of "long rounding." He had a few minor 
experiences, and being the narcissist he was, *projected onto them* 
the highest state he'd been told about by Maharishi -- Unity. From the 
little I read of his narcisso-rants, *few to none of them* ever 
coincided with Maharishi's descriptions of what perception would 
actually be like from the state of Unity. They were pretty much all 
from the point of view of Robin's Ego, and the world he saw around him 
was all merely a reflection of Robin's Ego. That's NPD, not Unity.

All of this said, I certainly don't mind if people here continue to 
discuss him as if he were worth their time. It's their time -- and 
life -- to waste, if they get off on that sorta thing. But assuming 
that Lawson *didn't* bother to go back and read the "homework" Judy 
assigned to him in her attempts to convert him, I will be joining him 
in this approach in the future. I perceived Robin's writings here -- 
both past and present -- as complete ego-rants steeped in narcissism 
and devoid of any value, spiritual or otherwise. I didn't bother to 
read most of them then, and I'm certainly not about to bother with 
them now. Life is too short to spend reading the "manifestos" of crazy 
people.

There. Now I've commented, so Judy can claim to have "pushed my 
buttons." I know this won't make her as happy as, say, someone here 
saying, "Wow. You're RIGHT, Judy. I was all wrong about Robin, but now 
I realize that he was just as interesting as you believe he was. Sign 
me up for the next Robin Cult group satsang and orgy!" But at least 
she can claim some kinda "win."  :-)

Narcissists fall for other narcissists. People who believe that what 
they SAY is more important than what they DO always fall for others 
who believe the same thing. I've said it before and I'll possibly say 
it again -- Judy fell for Robin because he's the only person she's 
ever encountered on this forum crazier and more "established in 
narcissism" than she is.

Now you all can go back to discussing him and reading his "greatest 
hits," as reposted by his cult follower. I've got more important 
things to do, like washing my socks... :-)
