Or perhaps famous leaders, rock stars, and gurus become focal points for whatever kind of power they represent. The masses focus attention on them; they transmit it back. Of course, gurus and yogis like Tat Wala Baba had plenty of darshan without interacting with many people, but the principle may still be valid. __._,_.___
"And also regarding getting escorted out, were those that this
happened to respectful? Just curious, because we'd be treated
similarly in any company meeting if openly challenging a CEO
disrespecfully- not making any assumptions here, just gethering
info. Thanks"
You make a good point here. Controlling the room is something Bush
does too and I'll bet seeing Trump personally isn't easy if you are a
skeptic. That did not prove my point. The question becomes, does he
claim to be enlightened. I vote "yes".
" Just because he said he was enlightened, why did
> they believe it?"
This is a deep point. I'm sure you know all about Lifton's
perspective. That is my guess. My conscious rational mind was not
functioning properly. Plus I believe the darshon experience is real
and powerful. I just do not believe the traditional interpretation of
what it means. People who saw Mao described the experience in similar
terms of people's description of personal contact with a master. I
don't believe it was because he was a radiator of pure being. It may
just be one of those mental experiences that had an evolutionary value
when not deferring to the alpha chimp could mean death. Just a guess.
