**** I got plugged into this thread by reading Barry's post, where he was wondering about the vehemence towards Chopra in the discussion by you and some others. I have no opinion about the republishing, because I have no background information. I don't understand, why you connect an adult man's doings and career choices to what his mother is doing. Are you saying that the rules on the Purusha and MD are such, that a person cannot stay there, if his or her parents are found to have careers that are unsuitable to the present TMO dogma. For example, the parent is a politician and a devout adherent of democracy. Are you in a leading position on the Purusha, or why did you question the man about his mother's identity? I found it very odd that, when Chopra left the TMO, one was not anymore allowed to talk about him. Earlier he was talked about almost as much as MMY, and suddenly he or his books didn't exist anymore. The teachers actually behaved like he had never existed. I had met this kind of behaviour earlier only in the former Soviet Union, and considered that kind of denial of history to be very pathological. You didn't answer this question of mine: Could you explain to me what emotions I'm projecting and on whom? Maybe you can help me find out some of my blind spots? I have now answered to your questions. Maybe you could answer to my questions now? Irmeli ------------------------ Yahoo!
