> Is this essential? Actually, to authentically claim a TMO MMY style of enlightenment, yes , I think you need MMY's confirmation. Since as we both witnessed (hehe) so many claimants -- so many non-confirmations by MMY over the years. This does not mean MMY is necessarily an authority on enlightenment, or all styles of awakening. It simply acknowledges that he IS the authority on what he classifies as TMO style enlightenment. And he is very specific and "picky". >As a friend of mine put it, ³you¹re the only one at your > graduation.

For "your own" defined enlightenment, or some other teachers, sure. However, for MMY's enlightenemt, you need his confirmation. Thus the question, why are all FF SSers so shy, so lacking in cosmic testosterone, that they are so afraid of ridicule (and who exactly gets ridiculed after liberation?) that they are afraid of discussing their experiences and interpretations of them with MMY? Someting smells fishy amd its not JonBennet.

Thats fine, if they are not proclaiming or implyinmg MMY style enlightenment without his confirmation.
