Is he trying to sell Maharishi or Aquinas? I squarely put the blame on Maharishi for all this. Each man has to settle on a meditation technique that suits him the best. Maharishi brainwashed a lot of people into this wholesale one-size-fits-all approach.
IMO, Maharishi did a lot of damage that way. But Robin unlike others demoted himself back to nursery school. All Robin had to do is move to some other technique that suited him better. Robin seems to be more of a parrot unable to evolve his own philosophy. This reflects badly only on Maharishi. IMO Maharishi has failed him.

And I think I can rightly say, you don't need to teach me about intense bhakti. But what he is doing is romantizising, that's different. Romantizising means to impose your own fancy ideas on a lover, ideas that aren't true, ideas you will not care to validate. Love is not just a feeling, you have to act upon it, if you have a Guru, you have to see what the guru is actually saying, and not project something onto him. Robin creates a world of his own.

You're asking (IMO) all the right questions and catching the disconnects, you catch every one. Trust me, this is nothing new, the paradoxical/contradicting speech has not changed a wink. The romanticism and sentimentality as well.
