I think you really trapped Vaj. if he got fooled five or more times, he probably lacks discerning capablities.?? BTW, how do you define enlightenment.??

(was: Re: Jihadis) Date: Monday, March 22, 2010, 8:43 AM It has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, that at least five of your teachers were probably unethical: Kalu had a secret mistress; Trungpa died from riotous living; your teacher Osel Tendzin died of AIDS; one of your Shankaracharyas is in court accused of murder; and your other guru was convicted of raping a student. If the reports you posted are to be believed, your guru, the Maharishi, was suspected of murder and having sexual relations with his students, yet you seem to have been a Maharishi follower for several years. So, the question becomes, if you were fooled once, why would you be willing to get fooled four more times? It doesn't make any sense. I mean, if they fooled you, and you're so smart, how would the average person know how to discriminate between ethical teachers and those that are unethical? You'd think so, but you've been in and out of cults for most of your adult life. You've had at least five spiritual teachers that I know about, but you're still acting unethical on this forum, trying to make us believe there is *enlightenment to be attained*. Go figure.
