I remember in the 70s there was some tendency to look up to certain people who were rumored to have "good experiences" on courses, but it's been just the opposite for some time now. Saying anything public about being enlightened is cause for blacklisting at MUM - now tmers are deferential to people who have been given titles by MMY. I don't know if this is true about the Travis studies, but it used to be policy at MUM that any study reg. higher states could only be done using subjects with valid dome badges -- the idea of someone without a valid badge having enlightened experiences was not acceptable. Personally I'm wary of anyone making E claims and prefer orgs that don't even use the word. IMO, energywise, "being enlightened" is just the new age-eastern version of "being saved by Jesus". ------------------------ Yahoo!
