Hello, I am forwarding a reply from Swami G to some of the comments:
G i don't know enough about Byron Katie to comment - so will stay silent on this. As far as the other comments are concerned - if they have gotten something from TM GREAT, if they remain in balance and not in confusion then Great ----- as far as telepathic and pictures etc. there have been sadhaka's that have seen this ones face before meeting and also this phenomena takes place as a matter of course. It is simply the way the universe works and will manifest to seekers that are honest in their search. One sadhaka wanted to come to Canada to recieve initiation and he was turned away at the border but because of his intense desire and heart commitment to the path he saw this form appear to him and he recieved a very tantric type of initiation. Things like this can and do take place. What appears is a form that is acceptable to the seeker. Does a Guru consciously make this manifest ? the answer to this is no - it simply takes place. Is it because a seeker has seen some picture and just imagines it ? sometimes that could be the case in other times there have been those who have never seen a picture and were quite surprised when they recognise that there has been a spontaneous appearance. Ones personality is not a qualifier of ones state in Reality. Yukteswar was one type - Ramana another , Nityananada another, Nisargadatta another. All had very different qualities of external persona but the Reality of Non-Duality was ONE. Maha Shanti OM 0
