[snip] Why is it, Barry, that you always seem to want to say that you're better than other people? Whether it's meditation, philosophy, mythology, or even your current domicile, you're always trying to prove something. So, you went to a flea market, or to a bar or to a cafe, so what? You're just another guy, no big deal. One thing that has definitely 'popped' into your mind is to pester us with your greatness. Soon you'll be dead meat, so ramble on, for a little while more. "Uncle Tantra (UT) is suffering from acute Narcissism. Because he dropped-out of both TM and Rama's program he needs to 'rewrite' history and trash religious groups that he once belonged to. Yet at the same time he needs to 'show-off' to current 'followers' and write spiritual essays of the same teachers he trashes in private. By engaging in this neurotic contradiction any personal failures are covered-up by UT's dual positions. Uncle Tantra's ego can instead present to others the image he clings to: a great writer, an advanced spiritual seeker that has gone into 'Samadhi', and the hip 60's Jungian wise-old man persona that he so pathetically attempts to cultivate in his ramblings and even through his name 'Uncle Tantra'."
