turq, I've always assumed that Fleetwood's dawn name meant something like
enlightened sunrise.

Isn't it fascinating that after all these years Jim Flanegin STILL can't
admit that he posed as a woman here on Fairfield Life for several months,
posting as "enlightened_dawn" all that time?
One *really* has to wonder 1) what the fuck he was *thinking* doing that, and
for so long, and 2) what is wrong with his "supporters" that they manage to
ignore it. It's really the biggest "elephant in the room" display of denial and
cognitive dissonance in the history of the forum, even bigger than Robin
Carlsen trying to continue denying that he'd hit his students, immediately
after having admitted it.
The only sense that I can make of it is that Jim had a total mental breakdown
during that period, and actually believed he *was* a woman.
When you think about it, that's no weirder than convincing himself he's
enlightened.
Whatever. Bottom line is that it's probably a good thing he's living way out in
the boonies now, where he can't hurt anyone if he has another similar breakdown.

One of the things mentioned about Buddha's enlightenment is that at that
moment he said that 'all beings were simultaneously enlightened with his
awakening'. The phrase is translated in different ways but they all basically
say the same thing, that with awakening all beings were perceived as
enlightened.
I presume Jim can clarify what this means.
To be honest, I'd rather hear him expostulate on what value posing as a woman
for several months had in helping him realize his enlightenment.
Is this a technique he would suggest to other people interested in becoming
enlightened? And if so, should they cross-dress only when posting on the
Internet, or should they dress in drag when at work, shopping, going to church,
and on other occasions?
I think that many who are interested in enlightenment would also be interested
in why, once he achieved his enlightenment by pretending to be a woman for so
long, he's never admitted to having done it. One would think that an
enlightened being who has come up with such an innovative sadhana as
"Cross-Dressing For Enlightenment" would want to talk it up to all who would
listen.
What serious seeker would *not* want to know, for example, how Jimbo managed to
conceal his occasional dhoti-tents while dressed as a woman. I'm sure they'd
also be fascinated to hear how he made his decisions about which public
restroom to use, how to dress when swimming in public, etc.
It just doesn't feel right that a person who owes his enlightenment to such a
revolutionary technique as pretending to be a member of the opposite sex "clams
up" and refuses to talk about it every time the subject comes up. It's almost
as if by doing this he's saying, "Hey...cross-dressing worked for *me* and was
one of the key techniques that allowed me to become so much better and more
evolved than all of you. But if you think I'm going to share the secrets of my
patented Drag Queen Yoga™ with you for free, fuggedaboudit. You'll have to
shell out the big bucks, just like Catholics do when seeking advice from the
guys in *that* church who wear dresses."
