Concerning celebs like John Lennon and many others, my impression was that each and everyone of these followed their own brands of spirituality based on one or more types, or paths. The BEATLE members were obviously influenced by many things Indian, as many others were at that time. Remember George Harrison's song MY SWEET LORD? Many years later, George was eventually connected with others such as a Germanic revivalist movement of sorts, and witchcraft(of sorts) Such sorts eventually made their own interpretations and twists of sort without necessarily being grounded in anything of traditional or historical significance. Over the years, the only exception to this that I can think of would probably be American actor Richard Gere....and even him I wouldn't be entirely sure of 100% Mel Gibson, a Jew-hating (supposedly) devout Catholic of some kind or another...Madonna, who now prefers to be called Esther these days because of her mixed Jewish/Kabbalistic beliefs...Tom Cruise and John Travolta, our poster boy Scientologists...and the list goes on... in peace Mel --- On Fri, 28/1/11, Brett Corbin <brettalancorbin@...> wrote:

Mel, It is the human condition that ALL humans and human groups (Jews, Christians, Muslims, etc.) tend to have bonding to some people and some groups, which they do not have with other people or other groups. --ED "We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population?'
