Tom Pall: Would someone kindly state the high concepts of Waking Down for me? Everyone knows that 'Waking Down' is derived from the same source as the 'neo-Advaitins'. Notions of being 'all of who we are', 'unity', 'awakening', to the 'fullness of your own nature', being 'united' in

The poor guy is probably terrified to express even a neutral opinion regarding any other path (other than tibetan buddhism) after his family of religious fanatics caught him dabbling in TM. The scars of that encounter are still clearly evident for Vaj. Hope he seeks professional help. --- In

Seems you have more in common with Adi Da than you think. Here is a picture on Flicker of the Dalai Lama's toilet in Tibet that he used to relieve himself into, revered as a holy object, with donations of money placed on the seat. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33875459@N05/3541380207/ --- In

That is a very uninformed view about WD and Saniel Bonder, Vaj. He is actually quite sane, normal and articulate. I recommend that you listen to Rick's recent interview with SD. He was with Adi Da, and learned a lot, decided specifically *not* to emulate his teacher's ways and is definitely not
