Of course, in public at least, MMY doesn't claim that he's "enlightened crazy." Quite the opposite: he claims that the Transcendent leads him to make statements that some find offensive. Of course, that doesn't mean he's not crazy, or that the Transcendent isn't leading him to behave in an enlightened-crazy way, only that he doesn't claim enlightened-crazy as his reason for doing what he's doing. ------------------------ Yahoo!
