He says it's a fraud because it claims *not* to be limited and limiting. However, he obviously doesn't understand the teaching. It would be one thing if he were able to state it clearly and accurately, then explain how it's limited and limiting; but what he presents as MMY's teaching is one misconception after another. Plus which, his approach to discussion is intellectually dishonest in the extreme, this current exchange with Lawson being a particularly egregious example. Just for one thing, in discussions with knowledgeable TMers, when asked to explain why such-and-such in the Buddhist or Yogic tradition is superior to or contradicts MMY's teaching, he either comes out with a string of impenetrable jargon and obscure references or claims the TMers couldn't possibly understand his point. If he himself actually understands what he's talking about, he ought to be able to explain it in plain language. Instead, he becomes evasive. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 10:06 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Vaj is a fraud > > > > --- In [email protected], "llundrub" <llundrub@> wrote: > >> > >> I think if Vaj way selling something and you were persuaded > >> to buy you might ask for your money back.
