No, that is not my point at all. Perhaps my wording is way off. Let me try again. I was responding to the point made in earlier posts that the FF BCers are reluctant to go to the mic in the Dome because if they talked about their BC and sidhi experiences on the mic to MMY, they would be kicked out of the domes. My whole point below from prior post is that the above assertion seems ridiculous. Others are talking to MMY about sidhi and apparently higher state experiences. They are not being kicked out. Why would the FF SSers be kicked out? > >> > > >> > Perhaps their experiences are so much more Brahamanic and the sidhis > >> > are SO much beyond the "normal-folks" experiences, \ My language was perhaps flamboyant to make a point. The point above. Perhaps the laguage was excessive, if so sorry. However, my point has nothing to do with them being egosistic if they talk about their experiences. that MMY will say > >> > -- "no, THAT Brahman is TOO GRAND -- Out with you out of DOMES NOW!. > >> > Now lets get back to hear of "normal Brahamn". > >> > > >> > Should tha unlikely scenario occur: MMY is mad that people are having > >> > good experiences (what a bizzare premise) and these special walking > >> > buddhas -- Brahman Incarnates -- what do they have to fear of being > >> > banned from the domes. > > > You see? You¹re ridiculing them. NO I am not. Not in the least. See above. > They¹re not afraid of Maharishi.

And observations and facts. if others are giving their experiences, and the FF SSers give their similar experiences, where is the ridicule? The domers giving their experiences are not being ridiculed, why would the FF SSers be ridiculed. The logic makes no sense. >They have no compelling need to publicize their > experience. No they don't. Particulary if they claim "this is my own style of awakening. It is what it is". What is facinating though is that some, perhaps many, claim MMY/TMO BC. In doing so, then there is a compelling reason to go to the mic: To have MMY confirm their interpretations of their experience. If they don't have the cosmic balls to do that, then, I would defer to John -- "MMY is not impressed with imaginations". And again, a point often stated, and more often lost it appears, I am not saying MMY BC is better than the FF SSers awakenings. But at least in some cases it appears different. So its odd, IMO, for people of integrity to claim MMY BC, and yet not be confident to discuss and explore the nuances with MMY. Speaking to MMY on the mic is such a great thing. That they are too shy or fear ridicule are such hollow excuses -- its just another oddity that points to other nterpretations of their experiences. See my prior comments below.
