Ann, I was responding to what Judy said that Robin said about the nature of enlightenment. This is a forum about that, among other topics. Judy used the phrases enlightened days and genuine enlightenment with regards to Robin. Then she presented Robin's idea that enlightenment, including his, reached via Eastern systems are delusional because ontolgical union with God and human is not possible. However, I don't think Robin's GENERAL conclusions about enlightenment reached via Eastern systems are valid exactly because he said HIS enlightenment was a delusion! Thus any conclusion he reached about enlightenment in general, lacks validity.

Robin was delusional and he posted parodies. Maybe his belief in union with God was a parody - because he knew that TM or yoga didn't have anything to do with a "union with God." Go figure. > > I'll tell you where we're all agreed, and this goes for Ricky, Sharon, Stevie, Bawwy - Robin can certainly get a rise out of you all. He seems to be able to, in absentia, inspire you all to exhibit the fascinating qualities of: mulishness ignorance lack of logic desire to troll gang mentality inability to stay objective or focused mean-spiritedness indefatigable desire to obfuscate the subjects being discussed This should make a fascinating study for those eminent scholars lurking here. If they had any sense they would be studying the field of "failed pseudo spiritual seekers who are not established in silence". What a din in here - and all from trying to explain to Share about Robin's opinion of "enlightenment". And does anyone still wonder how wars get started? This lot is as aggressive as any I have seen anywhere and this is supposedly a forum for mature, spiritually-minded old practitioners of various contemplative and meditative practices. If anything proves that decades of meditation and the ongoing study of "great masters" amounts to nothing these four at FFL have and, I daresay, will continue to do so. Just watch.
