Jim always had a perverse rationale about such events and situations. Remember, Jim also wanted the same Reverence and exalted GuruStatus as Ravi.
I also wouldn't be surprised at all, if Jim said "It's all good" if Ravi met with a disaster. --- On Sat, 5/22/10, TurquoiseB <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Conversation with Mr. Chivukula Date: Saturday, May 22, 2010, 12:24 AM As counterpart, based on my recent skims of the BATGAP forum, t'would seem that many there felt something "off" about Ravi, from Day One. The only person who in my reading of the posts seemed impressed by him, and *still* seems to believe that there is not only nothing wrong with him but that he really *is* experiencing a profound awakening was -- wait for it -- Jim Flanegin. Those who have read every post over there can correct me if they feel my "skim reading" is inaccurate; it very well could be. Some expressed downright concern for Ravi, while Jim pooh-poohed their concerns. And these are people who are *conditioned* to see "enlight- enment" where others see merely confusion and solipsism. While I thank you for your report, based on my experience of seeing people have a minor "awakening" and set them- selves up as "gurus" without the wherewithall to be one, I'm predicting Ravi's eventual suicide. That seems to be what *happens* to such people. When their fantasies of who they "really" are and how they should be "really" treated by people around them don't work out, they take the "I'll show them" route and leave them -- and the world that "just doesn't understand how special they are" -- behind. I'm not *hoping* for such an outcome, but I for one would not be surprised by it. And if it happens, I think I can safely predict Jim coming up with a hearty "It's all good" about *that*, too.
