I've never understood why Curtis gets into these insane drama-fests either. But I suppose it fulfills some need. Frankly I didn't realize he was even part of what appeared to be another one of Robin's gigantic monologues when I posted what I did. And for me it wouldn't matter much what great ideas Robin supposedly came up with if the only way he could get them across was to beat people over the head with sheer voluminosity, over and over again. Life is way too short. Dear Sal Sunshine, Let me make a confession to you, Sal: you will be shocked, but given the searching and honest appraisal you have given of my posts at FFL, I think, finally, you are the person to whom I must reveal this. Itthis disclosureis going to set me back some, but no matter; what is important is that I finally level with all the readers at FFL, especially yourself, Sal, who only hints at the deep and thoughtful philosophy within which you are determine to live your remaining days on this earth. Here it is, Sal: Iutterly against my willslipped into Unity again. This happened as a direct effect of one of those powerful confrontations of me by your friend in Europe. As you can imagine this was to say the least unexpected and even traumatic. But now I will have to make the best of it. So in order to create a followingfor when I announce I am once again enlightenedI have chosen the most worthy foe on FFL: Curtis. These "insane drama-fests", I admit, never occur in life, only in literature. Or, if you like, bad literature. There should never been anything serious, dangerous, demanding posted at FFL. Life doesn't hurt; it's all sunshine after all. But you see, I am trying to, before the fact, convert Curtis. If I can get him on board such that he will become a disciple of mine (when the moment comes) I will get off to the best start of any Guru ever. Don't you think this to be true? Think of the influence he could exert upon Holland. I am trying to wear down the neurobiological basis of his existence, because that's all there is inside Curtis. The length and tedium and prolixity of my posts are in the service of this ambition of mine. So, then, with the advent of my announcement of being enlightened once again, I had to, sweet Sal, prepare the ground; you know, bore away (like Maharishi), only in my case, trying to "beat people over the head with sheer voluminosity, over and over again". You have captured me perfectly there, Sal. It is a wonder to me no one else (but you and Barryand a few others) have found me out. You understand, though, how inconvenient this is, almost as if you already have had a presentiment about my Second Enlightenment (divine relapse), and are enabling the more susceptible and credulous among the FFL readers to be alert to the move I am on the verge of making: namely, seeing how many disciples I can immediately gather up into the fold from here at FFL. Now think about it, Sal: Are you prepared, given the extraordinary honour you have in being chosen to learn this momentous fact about me: that I am once again in Unity Consciousness (with all the benefits that derive from having fallen out of Unity for the past 24 years), to accord me some greater respect than you have so far in your carefully-considered putdowns? I am hoping so, Sal. I want to be bigger than Maharishi ever was. And it's all free.
