So it's never the case that people with whom these "some" don't agree do not write clearly? When I read Irmeli's post--before I'd seen Lawson's response--I also saw an apparent contradiction between "Most people who have learned this simple technique have benefited very little from it" and "Many people have benefited from his teachings in spite of its [sic] weaknesses." > It really is bizarre, and I often I just relegate it to the bizarro- > bin, but at the same time you can't help but be disturbed by the > "work [done] very hard internally, to not to understand and to > distort" part. No bells of conscience (seemingly); is "cosmic > heroin" (meditative bliss) that strong a drug? This is clear enough; and it's clearly bullshit. Vaj in particular is frequently guilty of writing obscurely and even sloppily--and then arrogantly declining to clarify. The "work [done] very hard internally" is an attempt to make sense of what he writes, not to *not* understand it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
