I'd agree with fear in the sense of "fear of losing one's self (small s)." When someone writes of an experience they have had, I usually get a non-verbal "hit" on what they've written that has nothing to do with the words. As Vaj has mentioned with regard to "Advaitaspeak," *anyone* can talk the talk. What I'm looking for is something that underlies the words that con- vinces me that the experience the person is talking about really happened. That "something," for me, can only be felt intuitively. I guess my point is that I think *everyone* does the same thing, and feels intuitively which of the experiences discussed here are real and which might not be. And it's that very intuition that scares the shit out of them when they feel a real one. ------------------------ Yahoo!
