Go figure. So, I'd say that I am very skeptical and you are very suggestible. If Rama did exhibit all those magical powers, it was a very cheap trick, but also very expensive - it cost a student over a thousand dollars to attend a single Rama seminar. How much would you pay to watch a parlor trick on a stage?

How would you determine if they really are having the Bliss Consciousness 24/7? And anyway most of 'em don't claim to be enlightened, they are "awakened" - Eckhart Tolle started that. Post Eckhart LOTS of people found a convenient was to explain how they don't measure up to a hard an fast and clearly delineated definition of "enlightenment" - so they can claim "awakenment" and do just about as they please as long as they use all the catchphrases and buzzwords of the Oneness is everything crowd. You can tell I am somewhat skeptical. But how WOULD you determine if they were in ABC all the time?

To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, March 29, 2014, 4:25 AM Most of his so-called 'enlightened ones', ARE NOT! enlightened at all!, Rick needs to be more critical in his analysis of their 'experience' of higher consciousness. , I think he will find they are all lacking in the basic experience of Sat-Chit-Ananda or pure bliss consciousness, 24/7.
