Au contraire, she claimed (incorrectly) that he *could* have been: "He may claim to be a part of these traditions but no way is he initiated into it. And once again let it be reminded that the Math in the North is that of Giri. He most certainly could have become an full initiate." This was quoted in the post to which you were replying, Vaj. Wonder how you missed it and decided she had said exactly the opposite? > --he would not be > able to be initiated into the secrets of the tradition. > Nonetheless he acts as if he was initated by SBS into the > tradition. In your *opinion* that is how he acts. But has he ever actually made the claim? > If he didn't > have the inside scoop on the tradition, he couldn't teach it > nor could he be a line-holder.
