I think this is one of the things that people here who doubt the sincerity of these women may never have exper- ienced first-hand. If you haven't ever been on the receiving end of the kind of energy that gets focused on those who pull the curtain back on the wizard in a spiritual group, you have no way of understanding how nasty and painful (even physically) it can be. *Nothing* feels as psychically damaging as the energy sent to you by someone who has had his or her cherished notions about spirituality challenged. I've actually spent time with murderers while teaching in a prison years ago, and I can assure you that you get a better vibe from them than you get from everyday meditators who are reacting to a spiritual whistleblower. ------------------------ Yahoo!
