I think it's important to remember that this is the guy who has stated that he would prefer to believe that several people who told audiences of TMers in advanced lectures and at residence courses that they were NOT in CC or any other higher state were LYING about it to these TMers, rather than believe that they were simply telling the truth about not being enlightened. I think that says it all, don't you? What Jim wants to believe is what's important. What anyone else has to say about what he wants to believe -- even the principals themselves -- is simply not important, and can be disregarded. In other words, we're back to the solipsism thang. As for freerad, same thing exactly. He "knows" what he "knows," and any criticism of what he "knows" and his methodology for "knowing" it is irrelevant and mere ignorance. Same with Lou and his "vision" of Hill and Obama as a team surrounded with light. It is *perfectly* valid for him, just as the "predictions" on his website (the ones that he doesn't remove as soon as they have been proven untrue, that is) are "95% accurate," or whatever the figure is that he claims. The issue here in all three cases in my opinion is the tendency to believe that one's "inner vision" or "intuition" or (basically) beliefs or wishes are "true" and everything else is false. The beliefs or wishes *cannot* be "disproved," and anyone who challenges them is ignorant and mounting a personal attack on the true "seer." In my book *this* constitutes ignorance.
