 Shuk's chart differs a bit from the one I 
 created using proprietary software developed 
 by a Purusha. This is perhaps due to a choice 
 of an earlier time than 8:40, per below. For

 in the 1st, rather than the 12th, and Shani/
 Surya starting November 3rd, rather than in
 September.

Re: [FairfieldLife] My Dinner with Dr. Mahapatra

2005-04-12 Thread Vaj

Let me get this right:

MMY is a diabetic (very treatable by Ayurveda BTW) with coronary artery 
disease, status post myocardial infarction, and a very paranoid 
megalomaniac after world power who steals money from the dying and 
dead? Oh yeah he also uses western medicine while telling others to 
avoid it.

Now, please correct me if I am wrong here, I thought enlightened 
physiology meant perfect health? Isn't CAD a stress related disease? 
Repeated studies independent of the TMO has shown that a radical 
vegetarian diet and meditation, properly done, reverses CAD. What's 
wrong with this picture?

What's the obvious conclusion here?

 Written by a friend of mine about a year ago after he had dinner with
 Dr. Mahapatra

 

 He says he was M's personal physician from about 87 to 91. His English
 was a bit hard to understand so I'll do my best to relay some of the
 interesting things he said.

 After 91, (I'm not sure of exact dates) M had him as one of the people
 in charge of a group of 6000 boys (M calls them pundits...). At some
 point M's family told M that they didn't like what was going on with
 the big group (I don't have any details) and M dismantled the whole
 thing sending all the boys home to all the families consternation.
 Maha Patra was in the dog house after that, which sounded like about
 95 or 96. He said it was very uncomfortable dealing with all the boys
 families during that time.

 Patra said in 87 he was called to M's side in Noida, India and M was
 rolling on the ground, screaming with the pain. He had pancreitis
 (sorry for spelling). Patra put him on a pain killer and a sedative. M
 eventually went to England for 6 months or so for treatment for this.
 M is diabetic and his family has a history of diabetes. I wonder if
 his high sugar intake had anything to do with it? When in England
 everything was kept very secret. When some reporters heard he was at a
 particular hotel, they would rapidly disappear to another location.
 During that time M had his heart attack. I didn't get much of the
 details. M didn't have heart surgery but he did have angeoplasty at a
 hospital in Holland. M used western drugs and western hospitals while
 promoting Ayurveda as the be all and end all. M has good days and bad
 days and has variety of health problems. He stays out of view on the
 bad days.

 Patra says M is a megamaniac after world power, (we're all surprised).
 He says the only ones M trusts are his family members, who he gives
 untold millions to. M thinks all Americans are CIA and is really
 paranoid. M asked him if he could test the blood of M's relatives to
 see if someone was trying to poison them. He says M's family members
 are not all good people or ethical people and that they have undue
 influence on M's decisions. He had not heard any stories of M with 
 women.

 Patra said he spoke with Deepak, his friend, who told him that all the
 problems started one time when Deepak had to leave M and M wanted him
 to not go. Deepak told M that he had speaking engagements for
 thousands of people all set up and he had to go. M said he heard that
 Deepak was promoting Deepak and not M. Deepak said he always promoted
 M. M continued to be more negative and suspicious and things broke
 down from there. Patra says when anyone gets too popular in the
 movement or has too much of a following M cans them.

 Patra said when they had the clinic for the very seriously ill at
 Noida that M would promise them all healing. With severe cases the
 Vaijyas would tell M that they could only do so much. Patra was
 trained as an Oncologist and saw people he knew would die. M would
 promise them healing, then they would die. M would send out his people
 to collect the huge bills from the bereaved families after the people
 had died. He said he found that very upsetting.

 Patra said when he first started seeing M, M wanted him to work for
 the movement. He told Patra to not go back to hospitals anymore. Patra
 was about to get married and go into practice, but because of what M
 said he didn't. M told him the movement would support him and have a
 bank account he could draw on. He was to have 2 cooks an 2
 secretaries. None of that materialized and he was given no money. Now
 he is in the US, can't pass the medical exams which he could have
 passed many years ago, and he is taking business courses. He does
 yagyas full time for Ralph Taylor, and has a group of 60 boys in India
 doing yagyas for Ralph.

Well that's a possible conclusion. no doubt. They could also come from 
lineage, your own tapas/practice, intense longing for liberation, etc.

One of the criteria I look for in an enlightened being is overwhelming 
compassion.

I also realize that someone with a few siddhis or someone with good 
lineage can help one gain experiences.

Written by a friend of mine about a year ago after he had 
dinner with
Dr. Mahapatra
   

   
He says he was M's personal physician from about 87 to 91. His 
English
was a bit hard to understand so I'll do my best to relay some 
of the
interesting things he said.
   
After 91, (I'm not sure of exact dates) M had him as one of the 
people
in charge of a group of 6000 boys (M calls them pundits...). At 
some
point M's family told M that they didn't like what was going on 
with
the big group (I don't have any details) and M dismantled the 
whole
thing sending all the boys home to all the families 
consternation.
Maha Patra was in the dog house after that, which sounded like 
about
95 or 96. He said it was very uncomfortable dealing with all 
the boys
families during that time.
   
Patra said in 87 he was called to M's side in Noida, India and 
M was
rolling on the ground, screaming with the pain. He had 
pancreitis
(sorry for spelling). Patra put him on a pain killer and a 
sedative. M
eventually went to England for 6 months or so for treatment for 
this.
M is diabetic and his family has a history of diabetes. I 
wonder if
his high sugar intake had anything to do with it? When in 
England
everything was kept very secret. When some reporters heard he 
was at a
particular hotel, they would rapidly disappear to another 
location.
During that time M had his heart attack. I didn't get much of 
the
details. M didn't have heart surgery but he did have 
angeoplasty at a
hospital in Holland. M used western drugs and western hospitals 
while
promoting Ayurveda as the be all and end all. M has good days 
and bad
days and has variety of health problems. He stays out of view 
on the
bad days.
   
Patra says M is a megamaniac after world power, (we're all 
surprised).
He says the only ones M trusts are his family members, who he 
gives
untold millions to. M thinks all Americans are CIA and is really
paranoid. M asked him if he could test the blood of M's 
relatives to
see if someone was trying to poison them. He says M's family 
members
are not all good people or ethical people and that they have 
undue
influence on M's decisions. He had not heard any stories of M 
with 
women.
   
Patra said he spoke with Deepak, his friend, who told him that 
all the
problems started one time when Deepak had to leave M and M 
wanted him
to not go. Deepak told M that he had speaking engagements for
thousands of people all set up and he had to go. M said he 
heard that
Deepak was promoting Deepak and not M. Deepak said he always 
promoted
M. M continued to be more negative and suspicious and things 
broke
down from there. Patra says when anyone gets too popular in the
movement or has too much of a following M cans them.
   
Patra said when they had the clinic for the very seriously ill

Noida that M would promise them all healing. With severe cases

This reminds me of the Bodhisattva Vow, which is really not a vow, 
but an admission of a (slightly) flawed consciousness: I shall 
remain here, not fully enlightened, so long as any sentient being 
anywhere remains unenlightened. This is not really a noble 
aspiration; it is rather the Self-evident, obvious dilemma of 
unity.  Since we contain everyOne as a mirror of ourSelf, we are 
only as enlightened as what we perceive around us. Only by expanding 
ourselves to recognize Unenlightenment, darkness, lack of 
compassion, confusion, hatred, ignorance, and so on, to be actually 
not *out there* but merely petty dramas *in here* -- only Now can we 
finally see through them, realize the completely illusory nature of 
self vs. other in maya, and eliminate all suffering for all time.

If weÕre inventorying opinion... I remain captivated by his dialogues; 
some of the most cogently abstract and sublimely insightful available 
in the western world. 

Having been raised with creativeÕs in and around the theater, a 
disjointed personal life seems rather consistent in the daily habits 
of unusual people. I watched for years as brilliant minds collapsed 
once off stage, strangely and profoundly reconstituting once back in 
character. 

Just an observation, hearing in advance footsteps of hobgoblins in

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My Dinner with Dr. Mahapatra

2005-04-12 Thread rudra_joe





1. How one who is U.C can not be realistic?


Because of 
personality, a dreamer and unrealistic personality will not become realistic and 
sensible through consciousness and physiological functioning. They will be very 
'normal' but we all know what that means now. Basically nothing. But 
basically a sense of good humor and health. 

As said, a 
demon who is in unity will be a very effective demon. One might say, but isn't 
someone in unity really deserving of unity through good deeds and so on. I say 
no, that a person in unity is merely someone who made the connection, and 
nothing more. Being in unity doesn't make soup out of soap. 


Moreover, 
liberation is causeless or it will have a beginning and end. One is 
already liberated, but merely caught in the sheet and too lazy to struggle to 
get out of bed. Liberation takes one by force or it 
doesn't.

A big problem 
in enlightenment is not acting from the POV of the Absolute with it's opulent 
nature of wisdom and compassion, but again falling into the energetic realm of 
thought and karma which is the realm of the Devas. the Devas fight wars 
constantly so to act on behalf of a Deva is to throw away the human condition 
with it's divinity which transcends all. Too many yajnas make one crazy. 
Too much association with Devas makes one very dualistic. One needs always to 
remember the source course and goal as being of the one flavor of the Absolute, 
and not get caught up. MMY got caught up. It's obvious, as obvious as spoiled 
agar. Undoing the effects of karmic overreaching is the act of the wise, not 
rebuilding the entire world.

2. On what basis one who has fragmented reality decide if something 
is "realistic"?

On the basis of 
sheer fact of existance as already being unity regardless of anything. 
You're in unity whether you like it or not, or realize it or not. And upon 
realization, one still has to put out the garbage on thursday because it will 
stink by friday. One who is in unity realizes that all are in unity and that as 
there is one unity so also everyone is important, as important as one's own 
mother. 

3. Where is my darn coffee?

Make it and wake 
up!

4. How can gurus 
act like total dipshits. 

Lack of wisdom and 
integrity, or knowledge.

Having been raised with creativeÕs in and around the theater, a 
disjointed personal life seems rather consistent in the daily habits of 
unusual people. I watched for years as brilliant minds collapsed once off 
stage, strangely and profoundly reconstituting once back in character. 
Just an observation, hearing in advance footsteps of hobgoblins in 
search of consistency. ---yeah, the cycle of fullness to emptiness, the wheel of 
samsara, solve et coagula. Life is cycles, and artists realize their 
epiphany through art, and feel hollow when not creating.

 A noble aspiration, but one which will relegate large portions 
of yourSelf to the dustbin.Enlightened-Mind possesses no real 
Self-Nature, so this is fine, that's where notion of permanent Self are 
ultimately bound.Moreover, the nature of the Absolute itself is compassion and wisdom. 
To not have these is to not be awakened. You say, hah! you contradicted 
yourself! Hahaha, Kirk you suck! You contradicted youself where you said 
before that even demons could be in unity. But Hahahaha, I say right back, a 
demon will act from it's level of wisdom and compassion, by killing, enslaving, 
and expanding your maya, because demons aren't given to great thought, great 
compassion or great wisdom. Enlightened demons are the worst. Don't get 
involved with enlightened demons. Jeez, you want a harsh taskmaster? A stupid 
awakened one still can't write, read, or do math, but they're still 
awakened. If it wasn't the case then from the start of time people would 
have had to go first through all of schooling to make sure they were on the 
level first. But such is obviously not the case. I saw a very awakened 
slug once eating my San pedro cactus. It was grooving on life. I could see it 
glow. Awakened but of no great use to me personally. 

I was very able to 
cook all sorts of things many times but was pigeonholed into some station or 
another. Awakening didn't change that. I still had to work say, fry station, or 
saute, instead of production, or being the chef. Not every awakened person gets 
the crown, not every awakened person gets acknowlegement, not every awakened 
person wants the crown or acknoledgement. 

Yeah, watch your 
karma. Awakening doesn't change karma, except insofar as it brings wisdom and 
compassion. So instead of driving 60 in a school zone when in the heady bliss of 
freedom, and then hitting a school kid, and going to prison where one will be 
awakened in prison, instead one slows down, because they may hit someone. 
Foresight, insight, wisdom, compassion, the true path makes use of these and 
doesn't put it all on autopilot where whatever one does is right. because 
karmically speaking, it's not!

WHOSE Suffering? WHO is

Absolute then can we understand that someone must cook and someone must wash 
dishes. Otherwise, no cooking, no eating, much suffering. Heaven on Earth is

change and so is not a solution to misery. Nonetheless, heaven must be served,

already just concepts, themselves conditioned?No more than a hole to fall into.

got a response from the Raaj of the Central and when I saw the price tag, I'm

 If weÕre inventorying opinion... I remain captivated

Agreed. MMY's intellect is amazing. 

 
 
 Having been raised with creativeÕs in and around the

 disjointed personal life seems rather consistent in

 of unusual people. I watched for years as brilliant
 minds collapsed 
 once off stage, strangely and profoundly
 reconstituting once back in

 Just an observation, hearing in advance footsteps of
 hobgoblins in 
 search of consistency.

One effect MMY's behavior has on me is that it forces
me to drop all stories or concepts, both good and
bad about him. I've had too many amazing experiences
around him to dismiss him as a fraud and I certainly
can't deny the ridiculous behavior he has exhibited at
times over the last several decades. So what is the
conclusion? Nothing. Why do we have to have any
stories/concepts at all about him? Also most of these
stories have absolutely nothing to do with my direct
experience. So for me they have no impact outside of
churning-up attachments that the mind insists on
having regarding my ideal of a perfect spiritual
being. By hook or by crook Brahman eats you.

[FairfieldLife] ULTIMATE FREEDOM: The One reality

2005-04-12 Thread Rick Archer

From James Braha:

Below is the Intro to my new book (5 pages), which
is close to being finished.

ULTIMATE FREEDOM: The One reality

Introduction


What you are about to read is the final chapter in my search for liberation.

What I mean by liberation is an end to the nagging feeling of separateness
from Source (or Essence) that was present since as long as I can remember.
And the death of the never ending sense of becoming, as well as the
relentless concerns over past and future - death included. After engaging in
many spiritual paths for some thirty years, the end finally came through the
Hindu teachings of Advaita, also known as non duality.

The literal definition of Advaita (classically pronounced ad-veye-ta,
sometimes pronounced ad-vey-ta) is not two, a preferable way of describing
oneness because oneness implies the possibility of more than one. The term
oneness refers to the underlying or essential oneness of all
manifestation. Scientifically this oneness can be seen within the fact that
all matter can be broken down into sub atomic particles, which is then seen
as nothing more than light or emptiness or space.  Everything in
manifestation is, thus, made up of one, and only one, essence.

Within our experience of life, which is tremendously varied and full of
differences, there is an integral facet that is almost entirely ignored. And
that is the sameness or oneness that is constantly present and makes all
experience possible. It is called Presence Awareness and is essentially the
present moment - right here right now. It is the right here right now that
has always been and will always be. It is the right here right now that
you experienced at age five and is with you even as you read this page. It
was present at birth, it is present at death. Presence Awareness. Right here
right now. Our one constant.

In early 2004, I had the great good fortune to pick up a book called What's
Wrong With Right Now Unless You Think About it? by an Australian teacher
named Sailor Bob Adamson. Bob's search ended in the mid 1970's when he
studied with the great Hindu sage Nisargadatta Maharaj. He has been teaching
non duality ever since. As fate would have it, Bob and his wife came to
America and stayed at our home for five weeks. During that time, he gave
many wonderful talks and teachings, most of which are transcribed in this
book.

For most seekers of enlightenment or liberation, the search is long and
arduous with many twists and turns along the way. Finding truth is all the
more challenging because there are so many varying viewpoints. People are
different genetically, culturally, emotionally, and so on. There are paths
for devotional types, intellectual types, mystical types, and so forth. What
most paths and religions have in common is that they allow the disciple to
seek without ever actually finding. This does not mean such paths are
fruitless. It simply means that there is always more to chase and more to
seek. There is always a bigger and better experience to be had. There is
always a promise of a better future (even though life can only be lived in
the present). And there is almost never a point where one stops to say Aha.
The goal is reached. I have found. I am complete. There is, of course, the
rare case where that occurs, but it is sure to be the exception - not the
rule. The few who claim to have found are nearly always the leaders, never
the participants. This fact alone should give one pause.

In this regard, the teachings of non duality are incredibly unique. They are
unique because they leave room only for finding and none for seeking! In
Advaita, seeking is patently absurd because it implies a future time of
finding. If all that exists is oneness, how can there be a past or future?
Past and future are concepts in the mind, while the present moment - right
here right now - is all that truly is. If there is an opposite to Advaita,
it is the act of seeking!

Advaita is based on understanding reality and existence from the broadest
possible viewpoint. It is entirely unconcerned with practices, disciplines,
rituals, and experiences. Seekers looking for greater self development or
for promises of a better future will not find them here. Non duality rejects
preferences, and considers no experience, positive or negative, one iota
better or worse than another.

For seekers who are ripe, non duality brings ending upon ending, until only
freedom remains. Once it is recognized that the reference point we live
from, the me, is based on nothing more than a collection of thoughts and
images, any sense of self importance and individuality ends. Once the
definition of reality is seen to be that which never changes, the illusory
nature of our apparent creation is exposed. As soon as the essential
oneness of existence is understood, the pervasive sense of separation gained
in early childhood - when a so called individual identity was created -
disappears. Once it is realized that the present moment, right here

 finding. If all that exists is oneness, how can there be a past or 
future?
 Past and future are concepts in the mind, while the present 
moment - right
 here right now - is all that truly is. If there is an opposite to 
Advaita,
 it is the act of seeking!
 
 Advaita is based on understanding reality and existence from the 
broadest
 possible viewpoint. It is entirely unconcerned with practices, 
disciplines,
 rituals, and experiences. Seekers looking for greater self 
development or
 for promises of a better future will not find them here. Non 
duality rejects
 preferences, and considers no experience, positive or negative, 
one iota
 better or worse than another.
 
 For seekers who are ripe, non duality brings ending upon ending, 
until only
 freedom remains. Once it is recognized that the reference point we 
live
 from, the me, is based on nothing more than a collection of 
thoughts and
 images, any sense of self importance and individuality ends. Once 
the
 definition of reality is seen to be that which never changes, 
the illusory

[FairfieldLife] Re: ULTIMATE FREEDOM: The One reality

2005-04-12 Thread Gregory N Poole


 It is to say, however, that the finding of one's
 true nature occurs in a moment of understanding.

Well put. Reality, consciousness, has always been everywhere, 
which is why it is so easy to overlook. Ever tried to see your 
own eye? Without a mirror :)


 Nearly half the world accepts the concept of maya - 
 the concept that the world is an illusion. But almost 
 no one lives as if they believe the fact!

That's because the world ***feels*** so real. That moment of 
understanding can help you realize that just because something feels 
real, doesn't actually make it real.

Technically, one 
beats cream with a beater, or whips it with a whip. Noone makes Ice Cream 
by stirring it, or it would take forever to make and then people like Maharishi 
would live longer not pandering to their own death wish being diabetics, and not 
feel the pressure to make us sell out our friends and families for him, so as to 
liberate them from the evil clutches of maya. You see. Beating is the key, 
not stirring. We must beat things for the Maharishis. Stirring just isn't gonna 
cut it you hear me Rory?I told you you wouldn't make it in the kitchen. 
But as a customer, well, come back later, the ice cream isn't ready. 


Ah nevermind, we're 
shortstaffed. I'll work with you until you can beat it just right;) No I 
didn't mean it like that, I was just kidding. I mean it. 

On the other hand 
we can all just stop and do nothing and let things go to hell. Usually I figured 
that that's what had happened anyway. And I was just left picking up the 
pieces.

Actually, if we all 
just did nothing, and let everything take care of itself. 

That would be 
nice.

That IS nice. Yes, it *does* take forever to stir (or churn) ice

Or was. Last tried it in 1967.

u churn butter 


Ice cream in 
theoryis a frozen creme anglaise which is a cooked egg yolk and milk 
product. The creme anglaise is beaten until all the crystals line up and then it 
becomes creamy, unlike beaten cream or eggs, which reach a peak and then 
collaspe. Ice cream since it is cooked and ready to be eaten as is, as usually 
in a sauce, can be taken further, to a pudding stage, as in custard, or more 
fully whacked until it performs like a maharishi demands, fully beaten and 
enlightened anglaise. It does reach a pinnacle of perfection that even God can't 
resist. Yes, even God can't resist ice cream. Tell that to the 
preacherman. While he's checking out the young boys.

This wasn't written a year ago by this anonymous persons friend , it
was cobbled together from Trancenet material posted no later than Feb
14th, 1997. A site sponsored by Free Christian Software. Dr Mahapatra
had a webpage, you can see the google cache of which if you search.
(Dr. Gyanendra Mahapatra)


--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, anonymousff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 
 Written by a friend of mine about a year ago after he had dinner with
 Dr. Mahapatra
 
 
 
 He says he was M's personal physician from about 87 to 91. His English
 was a bit hard to understand so I'll do my best to relay some of the
 interesting things he said.
 
 After 91, (I'm not sure of exact dates) M had him as one of the people
 in charge of a group of 6000 boys (M calls them pundits...). At some
 point M's family told M that they didn't like what was going on with
 the big group (I don't have any details) and M dismantled the whole
 thing sending all the boys home to all the families consternation.
 Maha Patra was in the dog house after that, which sounded like about
 95 or 96. He said it was very uncomfortable dealing with all the boys
 families during that time.
 
 Patra said in 87 he was called to M's side in Noida, India and M was
 rolling on the ground, screaming with the pain. He had pancreitis
 (sorry for spelling). Patra put him on a pain killer and a sedative. M
 eventually went to England for 6 months or so for treatment for this.
 M is diabetic and his family has a history of diabetes. I wonder if
 his high sugar intake had anything to do with it? When in England
 everything was kept very secret. When some reporters heard he was at a
 particular hotel, they would rapidly disappear to another location.
 During that time M had his heart attack. I didn't get much of the
 details. M didn't have heart surgery but he did have angeoplasty at a
 hospital in Holland. M used western drugs and western hospitals while
 promoting Ayurveda as the be all and end all. M has good days and bad
 days and has variety of health problems. He stays out of view on the
 bad days.
 
 Patra says M is a megamaniac after world power, (we're all surprised).
 He says the only ones M trusts are his family members, who he gives
 untold millions to. M thinks all Americans are CIA and is really
 paranoid. M asked him if he could test the blood of M's relatives to
 see if someone was trying to poison them. He says M's family members
 are not all good people or ethical people and that they have undue
 influence on M's decisions. He had not heard any stories of M with
women.
 
 Patra said he spoke with Deepak, his friend, who told him that all the
 problems started one time when Deepak had to leave M and M wanted him
 to not go. Deepak told M that he had speaking engagements for
 thousands of people all set up and he had to go. M said he heard that
 Deepak was promoting Deepak and not M. Deepak said he always promoted
 M. M continued to be more negative and suspicious and things broke
 down from there. Patra says when anyone gets too popular in the
 movement or has too much of a following M cans them.
 
 Patra said when they had the clinic for the very seriously ill at
 Noida that M would promise them all healing. With severe cases the
 Vaijyas would tell M that they could only do so much. Patra was
 trained as an Oncologist and saw people he knew would die. M would
 promise them healing, then they would die. M would send out his people
 to collect the huge bills from the bereaved families after the people
 had died. He said he found that very upsetting.
 
 Patra said when he first started seeing M, M wanted him to work for
 the movement. He told Patra to not go back to hospitals anymore. Patra
 was about to get married and go into practice, but because of what M
 said he didn't. M told him the movement would support him and have a
 bank account he could draw on. He was to have 2 cooks an 2
 secretaries. None of that materialized and he was given no money. Now
 he is in the US, can't pass the medical exams which he could have
 passed many years ago, and he is taking business courses. He does
 yagyas full time for Ralph Taylor, and has a group of 60 boys in India
 doing yagyas for Ralph.

Yeah those days gone but not forgotten (yet). First Humboldt was
something like $275 for the course, room and board. My TTC (nine weeks
in Majorca) was IIRC around $900 and that included airfare from L.A.,
room and board. I think they could make that price because we lived on
Brussel sprouts. Maybe Rudra Joe could make that palatable, but he
wasn't in the kitchen (AFAIK).

 Nearly half the world accepts the concept of maya -
 the concept that the world is an illusion. But almost
 no one lives as if they believe the fact!

 That's because the world ***feels*** so real. That moment of
 understanding can help you realize that just because something feels
 real, doesn't actually make it real.


And also it is worth pointing out that just because you feel you are in 
the non-dual state, does not mean you are. Having been around a teacher 
who transmits the non-dual state I've been lucky to be around many who 
felt they were in that state and who had gone beyond meditation, etc. 
Very few are and I see the same pattern around the Neo-Advaita set. The 
vast majority are not in the non-dual state but are in fact practicing 
vipasyana (whether they realize it or not). Not that that's a bad 
thing, but it ain't the non-dual state and it ain't enlightenment. 
Since vipasyana is seeing things as they really are it can be quite 
deceiving. Sadly a form of vanity tends to follow the wrong View.

What amazed me is that a good teacher can dismantle a students wrong 
View in about 1 to 3 sentences. Correct View (darshana) is *essential*.

I also found some of the articles claims, sadly, quite inaccurate.
