Maybe Avram thinks this is hard hitting stuff, but having grown up in a culture of scientific materialism, it is just a boring rehash. If y'all are interested in this stuff, by all means encourage Avram. I'm sure you will get a steady diet of it: " The guru model works its spell on an immature mind not a seasoned one" " we live in a truly CON-fused time, where rationality flirts with silliness and sincere devotion with gross gullibility.

We can choose to read it and understand that it does not reflect what we (or at least what I) believe. We certainly don't need to be upset about it. This is one person's point of view. If we attack or drive someone away, is that what Amma would want? She has been questioned and castigated by the best of them. At a time of such tragedy, can we choose to show tolerance? Can we choose kindness? Can we choose Love? Jai Ma ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Since I know Avram's views from other venues, I realize that Avram has a bit of an agenda around converting bhaktis into his idea of a jnani. If you would like to deal with that, ok by me. You may, eventually, find that there is something to be said for setting good boundaries. But, I am not the moderator, and thankfully, not the king of the room, probably more like the room comedian. As Amma says, better to be a joker than a king. Best wishes to all and especially to that perky guy: Avram, currently umanifesting.
