Well, Unc, a lot of people use the duck analysis: "if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, then it must be a duck". If it walks like a guru, talks like one & giggles knowingly as such then it must be a seer, a sage, a guru or a maharishi. Enlightened. But then, it might get to where the walk that looked it don't look it afterall in reality. Like for instance, looking with these Beatles: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/129353 Or like with the Kaplans for instance: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/32360 And evidently for a lot of just regular meditating folks who seem to have voted with their feet. The disappeared. -Doug
