There are two main modern approaches to the study of mysticism. One is to say that ALL mystical experience is pathological. Another approach, popular with progressive psyhcologists and writers such as Maslow and Wilber, is that mysticism can be explained without reference to an absolute. In

I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing. I'm suggesting that you yourself not make judgments, at least until you get to know us better, and that you refrain from insulting people who don't immediately jump on the anti-Amma train. You seem to have a tendency to see everything in black and white and

Hi authfriend no issues it's easy for you to adopt a disinterested persona since as you say you are neither pro or anti Amma. However it is presumptuous on your part to assume I have a black and white philosophy, in fact it's very nuanced. But clearly I haven't had a chance to exhibit it yet
