Ha ha! Good to see you're alive and well incarnated as Dr. Dumbass! I decided
to sign-up again because of some masochistic samskara that has become lively. I
also wanted to see what people had to say about LB. Not many seem to have known
him. Quite the character.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar used to do the same thing in India. He'd take groups of
people to see other yogis and gurus. When people would start pointing out the
"short-comings" of the other groups he'd always stop them and say something to
the effect that the Absolute has infinite expressions.

Given how easy it is for people to miss things, like talking about
enlightenment in terms of seeing (perceiving) rather than self (being), as
