He rejected Catholicism years ago, as it happens, but thanks for the
explanation. I think the end may have gotten cut off there--or did you go into
an ecstatic state and lose outer awareness? ;-)

Right...if Robin is choosing Catholocism over ontological "Hinduism" (most of
it); the word union has the meaning of being "one" with Jesus (not pure
Consciousness) in an ecstatic state in which the Saint loses outer awareness
and may be seen levitating. Examples: - St. John of the Cross and St
Don't think so. He refers to both as Union; and I can't imagine he'd be saying
it's OK to stop at GC and not go on to UC.

Judy, thank you so much for posting this quote. As for what Maharishi meant by
"at its own level," I wonder if he was talking about the difference bt GC and
UC. But like he said, it's a sin against God to raise differences over the
principle of union!

Good lord, no. Huge topic. Do some reading.
It occurs to me that you may be unclear on what "ontological" means in this
context. That's another huge topic. You need to do your own homework on this.
Actually, Maharishi had something to say along these lines:

Judy, can you say in a nutshell what other kind of union with God there is,
besides ontological?

You have to look carefully at the notion of "union with God" to know whether
the phrase embraces ontological union. For the Judeo-Christian-Islamic
religions, that's a bridge too far, but the distinction can be subtle until you
get really deep into the theology and examine the question very spec
I think all of these systems have sects, for example the Sufis in Islam, that
believe that there can be union between God and human. Maybe also the
Kabbalists in Judaism?

You aren't disagreeing just with Robin, but with all of Christianity, Judaism,
and Islam, for which the notion of ontological union with God is blatantly
heretical.
You're entitled to your opinion that they're all wrong about that.

Judy, this "general impossibility" is where I disagree with Robin. As I say in
the rest of my post. I think, based on my reading of what people have written,
I think ontological union with God or life has occurred in some individuals.
I realized this morning that in the context of this discussi
Robin was talking about the enlightenment Maharishi describes. Don't know what
he'd say about other types of "very, very high states of human development,"
except for the general impossibility of ontological union with God (per the
doctrines of the Judeo-Christian religions).
