I realize you don't get out much but this is rather far fetched. I am talking about spiritual groups related to TM Xeno, until we removed the biggest impediment to a real conversation this place was being relentlessly moderated by that impediment. No one was exempt from his malicious and twisted lies and false allegations, not to mention bone-headed conclusions, except those who agreed with and stroked his ego. For you to assert that FFL, of all places, was "the best place to find a decent conversation", is perverse if not simply bizarre. It is the ideas and what you can learn from them, or make out of them, not the people that propose them that I find interesting. What you do not like, skip over or delete (if you interact by email). Perhaps all of us have had an idol that did not live up to the image we pretended to ourselves that they were. In the movement, even shortly after one started to get involved with TM, there were strange warning signs something was amiss, and we would ignore it. The main problem is human beings are never ever really a match for the ideals they create. Still, we can sometimes extract value out of a much-less-than-what-we-would-consider-ideal situation. Funny, I wrote a post about this very thing to MJ. The big difference was I made it personal, I used "I" a lot whereas you tend to keep things in the abstract. Dry and brittle, a tad pedantic; I'm hoping you weren't a teacher or professor in your working days - the class would have been on snooze fer sure. Sorry, but it's true. No, I was not a teacher or a professor, so no one had to fall asleep on my account. I used to live next to a professor of engineering. He would come over and talk for hours in a monotone. Most of the time, in 'person' I don't talk that much. As for an 'I', you think you are a person. Too bad, what a loss. Ho, ho, hee, hee, snort. That is fucking hilarious!! And thank you for that. You have seriously missed the boat, lost the thread, stumbled off the platform. There is no loss Xeno, you evidently misunderstood something when you became "enlightened" or read the wrong book or misinterpreted some sage. There is no "too bad" for living amid personhood. I can vouch for that. Whatever you have lost, you need to find it again, and soon before you leave that body of yours.
