An objective framework, of spiritual morality? Doctrinaire TM’ers now aggressively contend that spiritually developed people must have a brain wave pattern that science has determined (according to their TM system). Then as people are practicing meditators cultivating consciousness as TM b

Sky, about policing spiritual teachers these points are quite fair considerations. Hopefully Rick Archer and his Batgap committee of awakened reporting at the SAND conference could take a look at your #6 suggestion in particular. Making the other suggestions operant likely would take budgeting

This was published in the Trinidad Express this morning, Guru Purnima. There is no higher authority walking the planet. A key word in here is, "Eligibility" Sadguru finds you when the eligibility comes to fruition. Not the other way around.. Give up the ego. Jaya Guru Datta

A core ethical issue for the non-dual community is whether teachers are offering something of value, if they are delivering what they promise, and if they can speak with high veracity and confidence supporting these claims. That is, a) have they achieved the states and live the attributes tha
