Steve, Thank you for your comments. Yes we are in agreement - one truth many expressions of it.
Coming to the serious part.. Ramana and I have patched up !!! Apparently Ramana is in heaven, enjoying all the perks that go with it. Heaven has done wonders to his health !! He's apparently very good looking and very healthy, working out regularly. However he can only communicate with us earthlings energetically and can't see our physical realm. Based upon the energy he's feeling from his followers he figured his followers were still poor and starving !! He was completely taken aback when I told him that all poor and starving are now Christians and his followers were well off sophisticated intellectual from the West. He wondered why retards like Yifu still bother him. He has asked me if I could stop his followers from bothering him and close the stupid ashram of his. Apparently this causes trouble when he is dating the heavenly ladies, more on this below. I asked him why Osho hadn't updated him on America. Osho it seems is still pissed off at the Americans and so wasn't talking much other than all the conspiracy theories of his, mind you 30 years is only about 1 heavenly year so his wounds according to heavenly standards are still fresh, but he is in heavenly therapy. Anyway the big problem with Ramana in heaven is getting a girl friend. The poor guy poured out his heart to me. He, as you might have guessed, is completely clueless when dating heavenly ladies and I offered him a few tips. He blamed it all on his stupid sacrifices during his earthly time. I suggested he take therapy as well to address this hidden resentment and he did appreciate that. He was really happy that I wasn't making any sacrifices to attract retarded followers and encouraged me to fully enjoy my life here so I wouldn't have same issues as him during the heavenly transition. I mean some of the stories on troubles the heavenly transition team faced with Ramana were downright hilarious. He laughed hard when I told him about the fascination people still have for him and Gandhi. Anyway we promised to keep in touch and agreed we were on the same enlightened page. I will keep you guys updated or let me know if you need any further details or have any concerns or clarifications.
