LOL. As I predicted, hysteria, with a side order of crying and whimpering.
I had forgotten about how jealous he gets of me, though. My bad for leaving
that one off the list of the ways in which he'd react. :-)

Thanks for clearing that up, Curtis. I apologize for assuming it was you.
Whoever it was, I am glad they are gone, and given what you have to say below,
please don't trip over yourself, trying to join The Peak. Perhaps you and Barry
can start your own forum - Best of luck!
Me:
Could have been cleared up before the accusation was posted, but better late
than never. You got your dig in on me even though it was manufactured, and now
the retraction can be posted on page 17 near the garden club announcements. Oh
well, Internet life..
Jim: Oh, its not all fluff over there. Here's a piece I wrote about Barry
yesterday. Enjoy!
"Ha! What nonsense from him. I remember about ten years ago, interacting with
Barry, and he was a different person. But, when I recognized around that time,
that my experience and my life were meeting the criteria for spiritual
liberation, or enlightenment, and decided to come out of the closet about it on
FFL, he kinda flipped out, and hasn’t been the same since.
In evaluating what he has to say, regarding these endless rants against TM, it
suddenly occurred to me that if I were to compare Barry’s REAL life, against
mine and those in my social circle, he has accomplished very little. He strikes
me as someone who has lived so much of his life in a spiritual cocoon, and
wearing his ‘anti-cult’ glasses, now spreads the warning *of his own
experience* tirelessly, not realizing that most of us, certainly everyone I
know, has managed to simply elude the snares he rails against incessantly.
His life’s reality, focused unerringly on turning others away from the
spiritual dependency he lived for decades, is so tiny, so restricted, so
unsuccessful, compared to the life I live, it becomes something very much about
Barry, but with little relevance to me. He has made up his mind long ago about
those who have faithfully practiced TM, and the notion that someone has
accomplished the goal, in spite of his judgments and assumptions, drives him
mad. It is just not at all my problem, and something he will have to resolve on
his own. Or not. :-)"
