Well, my thoughts were 1) Rick appears to be the only one on FFL who has had personal contact with him -- and probably has his phone # 2) Ravi says he 'loves Rick" and thus may listen more to him than others. 3) Rick is connected to AMMA org and could make phone calls to Bay area and pheonix to have some one check on him 4) Rick apppears networked with a lot of people and may have others that could help check on him (and his wife and kids) 5) Ricks actons in interviewing him and inviting him to FFL may have inadvertently triggered something in Ravi. While in no way is Rick to blame, still it is not a bizzarre concept that he might take some steps to help Ravi out. On a broader level, Jim on BatGap says Ravi is fine, that he just drinks too much coffee. That may be the case. However, if Ravi is an example of a fully awakened enlightened being simply on a bit too much coffee, I have lost much taste for all of this. And some of the other interviewees seemed a bit brittle. I question the premise of inviting people to share with the world their enlightenment without any sort of screening. For those that are on the edge, this is throwing gas on the fire of self-engrandizement. But of course, all of us could do things to help. Thats why I asked rick to clarify what he is doing so we don't overlap or counteract each other's steps. However, since others in Bay Area also seem concerned, they had the police visit him, maybe all that can be done is being done -- at at "professional" level. Still, getting Amma folks in Bay Area involved, to help check him out and guide him through this if he is "out of it" seems prudent. This week has been enlightening in many ways.
