I would like to have a conversation with you about your time with Rama if you
are willing. I am more than happy to do it privately if you like cause I know
some on here are going to revile you no matter what you say. So can we talk?

Oddly, Michael, I kinda, sorta
agree with what you said, even though I know you were being
ironic, and funny.
It made me think back to my time with the odd Rama dude. He
taught me many things, some of which I'm still grateful
to him for. But in the end, it was his own teachings that
caused me to bail on his trip, and beat feet.
At some point in the latter days I spent around him, during
periods when (as far as I have been able to discern, given
all available facts) he was heavily drug-impaired and thus
Losing It Heavily, I found myself *measuring him by his own
teachings*.
He'd given many, many talks about how an enlightened --
or even nice -- being should act, and should interact with
the world. I started measuring him at this point in his life
against his *own* teachings earlier in that life, and to my
disappointment he just didn't fuckin' measure up.
But even for this I think I owe him a bit of gratitude. If
he hadn't taught me those measures back in the early
days, when he was still fairly happening and not so burdened
by NPD, I wouldn't have had them in my arsenal of
spiritual tools and been able to use them to evaluate him.
Go figure.
