--There's no "false ego" in Enlightenment; i.e. a delusional "I" associated with identification with mind, at the core of one's psyche. In spite of the vanishing act that eradicates the delusional "I"; evidence bears out the existence of other types of delusions, especially those pertaining to the Guru's notion of self-importance; and here the term "self" applies to "body-mind". Your own Guru admits that there's a body-mind after Enlightenment. I read some of your messages. That body-mind is fully capable of the most egregious, grandious, "Emperor/Empress - with no clothes" types of delusions; e.g. Bevan, and your Guru in particular, who seems to be infatuated with herself. Besides, I dont' see any new information coming from her. OK, she's Enlightened, what does she want, a medal?
