Ignoring Judy's "Gotta Get Barry" episode, and dealing with the real issue at hand:

I have NO PROBLEM with John trusting his subjective experience of Guru Dev. I have NO PROBLEM with him talking about it. I think it's *important* to learn to trust, to some extent, one's subjective experiences in life. Declaring them "truth" is another thing entirely. I trust my subjective experiences completely. But I would never declare them valid for any- one EXCEPT myself, and I would never call them "truth." They're ONLY my subjective experiences. I honestly don't get the feeling that's the way John regards his subjective experience of Guru Dev. I *know* that it's not how Jim and Rory regard their subjective experiences. One can fully trust one's subjective experiences without regarding them as some kind of cosmic truth, let alone something that "trumps" any- one else's notion of truth.
