Enough is enough Turq, don't you realize MZ is a celebrity. The kind we rarely
see on FFL. Its like Bevan, Charlie or Jerry decided to grace us with their
presence, someone who actually did something in the TMO.
To name just a few highlights the MZ's CV includes:
1. His UC was confirmed by the Rish himself, in front of a large group of
witnesses, and then, in a court of law, declared invalid.
2. Author of 11 books.
3. Been the subject academic research
http://www.scribd.com/doc/23659916/Sacred-Schisms-How-Religions-Divide
(chap 13)
4. Successfully started his own cult, which included experienced initiators.
5. Actually took on the movement, unlike a lot of the complainers on this blog.
6. Met the Ayatollah
7. Actually had a confrontation with the man who commercialized confrontation.
and so on
Turq, please don't get me wrong. I've been a confirmed lurker on FFL for over a
year and your writing is one of the things that brings me back when I start
getting bored (although I suspect your writing would be better described as
re-writing which as we all know is what good writing is). So holy jamoli we
finally get a real celebrity and you and others turn your formidable guns
toward
scaring him off. My goodness, is he that threatening. He's just a zebra,
granted
he's masked.
Robin, please don't pay attention to this type of rudeness. I don't think for a
moment any of your detractors on FFL could take on any of the characters you've
taken on. Just ask yourself the question, 'whose story would Hollywood buy,
mine
or Turq's'? Hollywood buys conflict and I know of few people in the New Age
that
survived more conflict than you did. Granted Turq could probably get hired as a
screenwriter in Hollywood but we all know how writers are treated in that town.
Your story actually has commercial value and anyone who spent time with
the Rish knows the value of a good story. So MZ, if you're planning to launch a
new cult I'm your man. I think there's still a bundle to be made. Weak
management may have been the problem last go round.
Also MZ, unlike a number of the FFL Jackals that have have been chasing you
around the Savannah, I have a bunch of quesions for you.
For starters:
What are your thoughts on the Saraswati mantras, where do you think he got them?
And Turq, to quote the Twain, sorry this is so long, I didn't have time to
make
it shorter.

The fact that you did not reply to them is odd.

Who says that it IS in fact odd, you?
:I just wonder what the answers to those 3 simple questions
are and why you are choosing to not answer them, that's all.
Because you don't answer them, I wonder if you are in fact
an est, forum or Landmark grad or here specifically to defend
WE.
For the record, I now assume that this is true, not
only because blastedactresses is avoiding the question
completely, but because he/she only appeared on this
forum when MZ mentioned Erhard.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I've rarely seen a meltdown
to match MZ's. As I've said before, if it weren't for
mentions of him on this forum I wouldn't have any idea
who Robin Carlson was or is; I had left the TMO long
before he made any loud-frog-in-a-small-pond splash
there. But based on his performance here so far, I'm
inclined to go with those who described him during
that period as nuts.
First Rick asked some pretty simple and non-threatening
questions of him, and the guy *ignores* the questions
completely and then goes off about all the assumptions
Rick is making about spirituality, enlightenment, what-
ever. And then the drama queen histrionics when I give
him a little ribbing for being such a solipsist that
he doesn't even know when he's being boring. And now
all of this missionary crap and hanging on to a
decades-old grudge and paranoia. Gotta say it...Dude's
a loon in my book.
Sorry, MZ, but you brought it on yourself. I actually
*agree* with some of the things you've said here about
UC not being any kind of ultimate state of consciousness,
but too much is too much. It's not just that you're a
drama queen; it's that you're being a douche. Over and
out.
