yifuxero: You're confusing the issues... The author of this site, Timothy Conway, is obviously an Amma devotee. It is very unseemly to criticize and categorize the new self-help teachers without revealing your own affiliations - it's dishonest.

There's not much advaita to it so I don't call it neo-advaita... TurquoiseB As if being a real Advaitan was a good thing. Being a 'real' Advaitan like Ramana Maharishi means that you have given up the dualistic, materialistic point-of-view, and you accept that there is only one

I too have been disappointed in how others glom onto Advaita concepts in the manners listed below. It sucks. But it doesn't suck anymore than it sucks to be a Catholic and having to admit there are some evil priests. There's bad apples in every organization who are, yep, the ones that get

No. You're confusing the issues. Advaita is a state, if one wants to use the word state; at least, lt's a Realization. Neo-Advaita is a projection into the world, a teaching strategy, filled with fallacies, idiosynchronies, and urban Myths; based on various precedents such as Papaji, all

To begin with, (just my take) in ignorance of the Self, people are concerned with projections onto the blank screen of Being without knowledge (Gnosis) of Being. In Neo-Advaita, they have a blank screen but the projections (story) are supposedly reduced to non-importance or worse yet,

In other words chaos. Rick Archer: please tell us why you would characterize them as chaotic. Because they are Neo-Advaitans like Amma, Poonja, Nisargadatta, and Balsekar?
