Ah well...who'd of thunk it? That was some impressive detective work you did.

But let's consider for a moment, leaving issues of fraud aside: Is my interpretation of "Ten Thousand Idiots" any less useful? I used to think Enlightenment was a final destination where I would not be plagued with the effort of ever dealing with the emotions of anger, jealousy, exclusion, euphoria, ebuliance, infatuation, etc. I'm coming to the conclusion, via instruction, that these idiots -- oops, feelings -- and the 9,994 others (more or less) will still be present.

I'm hoping that at least part of Enlightenment means more an arrival at some sort of harmoniuos -- or at least, working -- relationship with them. I don't think it's possible to "throw them out". In fact, the effort of throwing them out would create an attachment to them, possibly greater than before. Not to mention all the issues surrounding denial.

As for the alledged fraud of Daniel Ladinsky; if true I guess that's the Karma he has to deal with. If not, than it's Murat Nemet-Nejat's Karma.

My Thanks in either event.
