You know, I just think the comment Andies made that I mentioned, is a huge step.
I see again and again over the months, comments by him that confirm that he is taking a similar road many of us took as we left the cult thinking.
I know I took three years of measureing, weighting, analyzing, backtracking, wondering, ect as I worked my way out of the thinking I had embraced deeply in many ways.
I found that I had to debunk the very system that grounds eastern religions.
THAT was very important to me. Not just to identify rawat as a failed guru, but that the entirety of the whole guru basis is completely grounded in unredeemable wasteful harmful fantasy.Getting to that point took Andries a lot less time than it took me !
That shows a couple things, Andries has benefitted from being here, and, he is a good learner.
That he still does a little stanfording.........well, That, I understand. I did it too.
Besides, we always have posters here that provide us with reasons to post.
He is an EX LOVER of a guru !!
An ex premie.
