I think it is much more interesting to take EK at face-value. EK
was there and you were not. Though like yourself many of us were
certainly around. I know EK from way back and I'd give him more
benefit of the doubt than you do. In my experience I think what EK
is writing rings pretty true. He's the eye-witness and I think he
has a pretty good eye all around. Try reading it again straight
without running a commentary in your head. It has its own honesty.
That's interesting and helpful to hear.
It's also helpful to understand that Earl was training under a
legitimate master of Kundalini Vidya and Sri Vidya, although he
probably hadn't digested the teachings he'd received fully, at least
in the draft writing we have. But he seems on the right track.
It appears Earl saw the purity of the teaching lacking and not held
in Mahesh and his teachers -- and so he sought an authentic and pure
teaching, someone of Brahmananda Saraswati's calibre -- and he got
his answers. Whether or not he could could parse those answers, while
still processing the trauma of his TM Org and TMSP experiences seems
evident, but understandable.
Does anyone know what the gist of Earl's comments were on David Wants
to Fly?
