Believe whatever you want. Above I have honestly related the context of the evening. There was no suggestion, either from my side or his. My purpose in relating these stories is to tell it the way it was, for me. I have no interest in convincing you (or anyone else here) of anything, or selling you anything. The man's daid, dude. He ain't selling anything either. None of his students, to my knowledge, could ever do what he did. Even though some of them are still teach- ing in his name, I do not refer anyone to them, or even to myself. The reason I tell these stories occasionally here is that people here have a fascination with the siddhis, which is understand- able, because so many of them paid so much money to see or experience them. At the same time, very few here seem to ever have seen them. I have. You can choose to believe me or not. I DON'T CARE. I'm just trying to do justice to my own experience, and to relating things just as they happened. I make no claims for Rama's enlightenment, or for my own. I just relate experiences. Deal with them as you will. Your reaction is not my concern. Telling the story accurately is. ------------------------ Yahoo!
