Curtis responds: "I do believe he is sincere and not like the cynical carny I described whose language form he shares IMO. If you believe in your own rap then the language form just flows naturally and continuously. When I was teaching TM I could talk for hours about Vedic studies. Once you start it up it runs by itself almost like good songwriting moments. "I had decent chats with Rory when he posted here and don't think he is a bad guy. I believe he is a highly imaginative dramatic person who is like a novelist caught up in his own novel. I don't doubt that he has a very compelling inner world of experience that he is describing. Where we differ is what it means. He seems to believe that the intensity and clarity of inner experience confers epistemological value. I do not." <giggle>
