I can almost guarantee you what is meant by interpreting them "in

TMers actually believe this is "true" as if it was somehow
"universal", like some perennialist's dream. Actually, all they've
really done they've just trapped themselves inside a pretty-looking

Sounds like the Wednesday Night SS!
Which you're qualified to judge based on your extensive experience
of it?
Just an observation after observing and then listening to the mailing
list for what, a year or two or so? Once one's been around one does
get some perspective on things, and honestly I saw/see no difference
between the FF SS and other SS's I'd visited before the FF flavor. It
is the same patterns. And so you learn to recognize different
patterns of suffering and their simulacrums. And you also share with
others and get another perspective.
That's why I said "sounds like".
