Judy, here is what I understand: you used the phrases enlightened days and 
genuine enlightenment with regards to Robin. Then you said that Robin said that 
enlightenment reached via Eastern systems is a delusion because ontological 
union between God and human is not possible.

Are these statements accurate?

According to Robin, most people are in a dream state and mistake it for 
the real. What you have to do according to Robin is wake up from the 
dream. The Adi Shankaracharya explained this very well using analogies 
like the rope-sanke. The dream state is like a delusion or an illusion. 
Dreams and illusions are real, while they last, but not real in the 
absolute sense. An illusion or a dream is real in the sense that it is 
presented to us.

At first that seems to be contradictory, but when you think about it, 
dreams are as real as any other state - dreams are not real, yet they 
are not unreal either. In the waking state you can run and jump and 
consult with your friends. You can also run and jump in your dreams and 
consult with your friends. In fact, there's nothing that can be done in 
the waking state that you cannot also do in a dream state. It's like a 
zen koan:

At night, you see a thief.
In the light of day, you realize it was just a fence pole.

Thanks Richard, I understand this. Using dreams is a good way to explain it. 
Dreams are real in their own context. But they are delusions in a larger 
context.

Do you think that's what Robin meant about his enlightenment?

When Robin experienced enlightenment he said that he floated in a kind 
of absolute bliss - he was able to witness his body move, as his 
individuality carried out its natural actions, but the individual 
Robin was gone - he had reached CC. According to MMY, if pure 
consciousness stays awake while everything else sleeps, then one knows 
one is in cosmic consciousness.

Dreams are real while we are dreaming, but unreal in the absolute sense. 
Dreams are not illusions in the sense of not being real because we do 
have dreams. The magic tricks of the magician seem unreal but they are 
tricks, not unreal tricks - there is a real sleight of hand. Something 
that is unreal is something that cannot be.

 Do you think that's what Robin meant about his enlightenment?
 
According to Robin's biography, The First Three Years of Enlightenment 
at the time Robin got enlightened he believed in MMY's seven states 
typology and followed the Shankara Advaita. We don't know exactly what 
he believes now - Robin is a deep couple of guys.

mind however creates all sorts of illusory connexions at times, perhaps through 
hypothesising or just internal chatter.
 

 The two original posts with the same title (without the 'Re:') are:
 

 post #372763 and post #372776 which both had the title
 

 'The Essence of the Anti-Robin Carlsen Jihad'
 

 One of those posts was addressed to 'Seraphita', the other to 'Stevie'.
 

 I assume that authfriend made a mistake on that account; I have lurking access

If Xeno had read the posts, he'd know those two posts weren't original; I 
simply changed the subject heading to a more appropriate one for what's been 
going on here. I had thought Xeno was referring to the two that were 
original--more or less; they were actually reposts with a bit of 
commentary--which had a slight variation in their titles.
 

 As to Xeno's other disingenuous remarks, statistics without context are 
typically quite useless. No illusory connections were made by me; they were 
quite real, again, as Xeno would know if he read them.
 

 One of the several reasons why Barry posts fewer responses than I do is that 
fewer posts are addressed to him. Another of the reasons is that there is 
frequently no relevant response that he can make to those that are addressed to 
him. Many if not most of his original posts are extended demonizations of 
people he doesn't like, and they're invariably dishonest. When the dishonesty 
is pointed out, there really isn't anything for him to say short of an 
admission of his own chronic mendacity, so if he does respond, it's almost 
always with another burst of gratuitous flimflam.

 Either way, she will never, never give it up. But I do have a tip for the 
third race - bet on the mule wearing blinkers to win. Odds are 10-1.
 

  Judy, I did not denigrate Robin. I called your phrases enlightened days and 
genuine enlightenment inaccurate because you said that Robin said that 
enlightenment, including his, via Eastern systems is a delusion because 
ontological union between God and human is not possible. 

 Xeno doesn't read the posts he counts here. If he did, he'd realize that most 
of Barry's posts were thoroughly dishonest attacks on me or Robin; and that in 
addition to refuting Barry's dishonesty, a substantial number of my posts were 
dealing with a discussion our Stevie can't seem to let go of in which he is 
quite idiotically trying to insist Robin and I were deliberately trying to 
fool people with our irony exchange; plus a bunch from Share attempting to 
denigrate Robin via her misunderstanding of his views on enlightenment.
 

 (Although the two posts he claims had the same title, did not.)

You're repeating his (or my or Ann's) words out of context and without 
understanding, Share. You're not really trying to understand; you just want to 
find a way to bash him.
 

  Judy, later Robin said that his state of enlightenment was actually, to use 
Ann's words, a state of delusion. I'm merely repeating what he himself has 
said. Or what you and Ann have said that he said.

   Of course you denigrated Robin. Robin claimed he had been enlightened, and 
you're insisting he wasn't.
 

 I've explained why your logic is, to say the least, faulty several times, as 
has Ann. It really doesn't help your case that you keep repeating your 
misunderstanding without ever addressing what we've been telling you.

 anyone knows how many learned TM and how many actively practicing?
 
 I also like a chart by Guru and number of followers if

 anyway, I think it's fair to say MMY has the most so far.
 Who is second Amma?


The Pope is the winner. Buddha second.
