It is not hostility per se in Akasha's case directed at anyone in particular.
He is just pissed off and frustrated in general that his enlightenment eludes him, and chooses to take it out on anyone who brings up the topic. I can relate, and I'm sure you can too, Peter. Before such a breakthrough is a lot of frustration for something so tantalizingly close and yet apparently unreachable. Akasha chooses to take refuge in his intellect, to explain away much of what you and I and Tom (and Rory, when he was posting) say as inconsistent with his head trip of 'enlightenment'. As for Vaj, he has studied much about enlightenment, and again is full of 'Thou shalt' and 'Thou shalt not' stuff from various teachers. He doesn't understand that enlightenment does not adhere to ANY tradition. It is what it is. Period. Btw, did you catch Vaj's reference about offlist discussions with Akasha on demonic possession?
