--Yes, Fred Lenz was a lunatic too.  Re the article presented on 
Creme, (the supposed list of facts), some of them are in a gray area 
of contention; but the bottom line IMO, must point to the direct or 
circumstantial evidence regarding his very existence.  He should at 
least make some type of physical appearance, more substantial than 
some easily doctored photos of some guy in Nairobi with a turban and 
a beard, wearing a white robe.
  Even the most camera shy Gurus have made some type of appearance 
such that people can verify he really exists.  Take Guru Dev, the 
living embodiment of humility.  People demanded hims to come out and 
be carried on a palanquin. He didn't look like the type of person to 
get caught up into fanfare and popular hoopla, but at least he showed 
up.  Where's Maitreya?  Where's the beef?  there is little to none.

Which Barry is fond of telling people to do "go by ones intuition" --
and telling people what fools they are, if not  complete raving
assholes, for not doing so.

But the other day, Barry/Unc/Turq apparently decided to use another
side of his mouth and came up with the above criteria for teachers.
Which he is embarrassed to use on his past teachers. 

Perhaps all this talk of precesional shifts and changing directions
had caused him to get his "rap" mixed-up and which of the many sides
of his to rant with.

But the really funny yet sad aspect is Barry appears  to view his
contradictictory proclamations and unsolicited advice about how we
should live our lives  as signs of his enlightenment. In BarryLoka,
apparently, the more contradictory you are about everyday things, the
more enlightened you are. 

Sort of like BushLoka.  

And  it appears Barry wants to be the "most" enlightened -- so he can
be the most special -- and be the  most unlike you and me.

Very good points. 
The thing is that I have no interest in how so-called "spiritual 
groups" view Benjamin Creme. I simply go by my intuition. By the way, 
the january/february issue of Share Internatioal is out today and can 
be viewed at : http://www.shareintl.org/magazine/SI_current.htm
Enjoy :-)

Feeling particularly threatened tonight, dude?

We've all seen this before...you make an ass of
yourself, someone calls you on it, and you have
to post at least half a dozen diatribes against
them.  I feel for you -- it must be truly painful
to have a self so tiny and constricting -- but
your problems are not my concern, and your ego-
babble just isn't interesting enough to reply to,
much less get involved with.

So have fun arguing with your self, eh?  :-)

The classic charlatan trick: "Yes, I am full of contradictions,
because I am so enlightened"

But Barry, when the hallucinations die down a bit, maybe you will
remember, or perhaps realize for the first time, that: 

--- many contradictions are just that -- utterings of confused minds
or logic

--- not all or even many statements about enlightenment are contradictory.

Your flashbacks, hallucinations and large cognitive errors are surging
again Barry. Maybe you should cut down on the absinthe. Never said
above, never implied above. But I understand you have a hard time
following things when the type keeps changing into crawly worms and
snakes. 
 
>and/or 
> higher states of consciousness.  You're in
> for a big surprise...  :-)  :-)  :-)

Ah, so you are enlightened now, clearly you must be speaking from
experience. Must be a new awakening because not long ago you
declared you were not enlightened. 

Oh, maybe thats that famous umbrella where anything goes "Its a
Paradox of Brahman" -- lets sing along --

"I have no ego, and you have an ego 
And we both are so enlightened. 
But were not enlightened also, 
Its such a joy. Its such a joy. 
Enlightenment means that
You see everything as it is.
And I am so enlightened 
Though I see way more stuff on the page 
that does not exist than does. 
But were not silly,  
its just the Paradox of Brahman.

That you don't want to get sucked into discussing the regular

My, the things people do to distract attention from
the fact they've made fools of themselves in public.  :-)

You don't actually think you're going to suck me into
one of your endless egobattles, do you?  You should
take on Judy...she *lives* for this kinda defend-
your-ego and defend-your-teacher shit.  :-)

Thats an interesting criteria to evaluate a 
teacher that one is drawn to: how "the larger
spiritual community" evaluates them 

How does "the larger spiritual community" view Fred Lenz -- who became
   Rama?

http://www.ex-cult.org/Groups/Rama/williams-article.html

http://www.cultnews.com/index.php/category/swamirama/

With my less-than-half brain, I took the first three articles that
Google spit out. Maybe you have some cites from "the larger spiritual
community" that view Lenz favorably.

Maybe Lup has such for Creme.

How does "the larger spiritual community" view MMY?

Was the Lenz trip a waste of time? Was the Maharishi gig? Have
you spent decades chasing things that "sound too good to be true"?

A bit over the top, but factual ? Take a look at these statements:

"Maitreya was devised decades ago by cult founder Benjamin Creme..."

"...(Maitreya) who Creme says has a 3000 year old indestructible 
body..."

"...Maitreyas economic theories are based on various forms of 
financially-bankrupt European socialism..."

"...Buddha is not expected for about 40 million years..."

Just a few examples of that authors obvious ignorance. 

I'm not aware of what "spiritual community" you are referring to, but 
it would not be a surprise if it is the same, very advanced spiritual 
souls for sure, who claim Maharishi to be a fraud also.

Sorry, but you're wrong. The author's tone is harsh
and a bit over the top, but as far as I know every-
thing he says is factual. If you pulled your head
out long enough to actually read some of the things
printed about Mr. Creme by those in the larger
spiritual community, you'd know that he is regarded
almost universally at best as a joke, at worst as a
charlatan. If you were *trying* to be laughed at
for your lack of discrimination, you could not have
picked a better teacher to associate with to accom-
plish this.

Sorry, it's on a level of total rubbish, no serious person would be 
able to look at it "favorably" whatever their level of appreciation of 
Maitreya. Take a look and see for yourself.

I seriously doubt Vaj is doing himself a favor by posting this utter 
rubbish.
