ROBIN: You have nailed it, Jason. Authfriend has made a miscalculation: it is not that you can't *handle* the truth; you blithely remain ignorant that it is even around. I would like to see you *not* handling the truth. That would be something rather refreshing. Barry wrote about the abnormality of this kind of love [love of Maharishi]. I answered him in detail. And that post renders what you say here irrelevant. The toothache response, remember? Your confidence in your own point of view, Jason, can be partly explained--or so I conclude from your posts of today--by how deep you are willing to go into some phenomenon, in order to understand it, see it, experience. That is, as it really is. Life is going to have to surprise you but good to alert you to what is going on when you post, Jason. I will be incredulous if a single thing I have said to you today is there in your understanding. I will give you a simple thing to think about: The sense of the personally tragic in the hidden interior life of Bevan Morris. Have you ever found that suffering yielded up a truth to you, Jason, about yourself, about life, which could be delivered in no other way than through your having suffered? Another simple thing to think about. Each person is a universe unto themselves. Life is a mysterious experience. I am sure death is too. You are inside something awesome and unbelievable, Jason: the universe. I will pray that somehow you end up actually handling the truth. But first of all you have to know that it is somewhere nearby. Effortlessness is not the required technique here, Jason. I was thinking today who Maharishi might be as just a person had he somehow found a way to become de-enlghtened--as I have claim I have. I would like to meet that person. There is nothing like being in Unity Consciousness for ten years and then eventually not being in Unity Consciousness. I would not miss out on this experience. It made me. You can't put your life inside a teacup, Jason. >
