Agreed! > According to Marshy, it is NOT the technique that causes the enlightened state. The Light is already there, you need no other light to illuminate it. That was the big mistake made by the Marshy - introducing the mantras. He would have been wiser to have us meditate on the sound current - Shabd, the pure sound of Vac - and leave all the bijas to the Tibetans for their rituals and ceremonies. If not for this mistake the world would probably be heaven on earth by now!
As it is, we've now got pundits all over downtown Oakland whispering non-sense gibberish into the ears of unsuspecting aspirants, leading them astray and attempting to convince them that someday they will be acharyas of secret lore. Now I ask you: if a secret word or phrase could enlighten the world, would it not be a crime to keep it secret? Forget the puja, forget the mantras, forget the SCI and the Creation Science - just sit. That's all you have to do. You are already transcending, even without a technique or a secret word. Sitting IS enlightenment.
