One could draw the conclusion from what you write that RC and Ravi are off the wall and motormouths because they're at the very least psychologically warped and delusional. That of course can't be.

Well Vaj - I'm OK with whatever comforts you and makes you sleep well at night. You know what I call you right - Vakrabuddhi - the twisted mind, the one trick parrot constantly choking on parroted shit. You are the most insincere, inauthentic person I have come across. I might make fun of Barry and Tom - but they at least come across as genuine, authentic persons. >h Although in RC's case, from what I gather he had the maturity to see through some of the TM world-dream, but perhaps may have replaced it with another. After all, at least TM had a strongly ingrained belief that it was scientific. I doubt we could say the same for transubstantiation or "grace". > > > And it's expected as part of the path forward that you'll spend some months in a mental (behavioral science?) ward because, well, it /is/ just part of the checking notes I didn't seem to receive, right? > > It's just part and parcel of a mental path: mental causes create mental effects. Given what we know about neuroplasticity today, I'd have to respond: you would have to either change your mind long enough for your cortex to re-weave new connections -or- you'd have to so foundationally shift your consciousness so as to effectively alter your way of thinking and seeing the world. Otherwise you're trapped within the neural hardware of the imprisoning cortex that you yourself had volitionally woven. >
