>Underlying all this is a steady point: the experience matters, not the party line.<

Give one instance where Rawat has ever placed a priority for any of the organisations that put 'the experience' first !  ?? There is not one element in 35 years that hasn't been about putting him first.

So today, as then, many people do have a genuine experience that is not dissectible with logic as theologians do with religion, because this is not a religion. 

You are making a claim for  genuine experience but you make no effort to define what you mean by  genuine  and you are relying wholly on untestable personal belief about the nature of the expeience. On what basis should anyone accept that this  genuine experience is not amenable to logical understanding ?

The experience of knowledge is honesty, not lies as you keep promoting. 

One might ask why then so much dishonesty and disemblement attaches to Rawat and his organisations ? But anyway you are merely making an unsupportable claim about Knowledge - as such it is merely an expression of your belief about your reality.

who enjoy Maharaji, his inspiration, and knowledge

Enjoy Maharaji !?! what on earth does that mean ? there are people who 'enjoy' vast numbers of harmful things, that hardly justifies the harm.

People are attracted to the energy and clarity that knowledge opens up

Again more vacuous claims - what energy ? what clarity ? This forum isn't a billboard where you can claim any absurd qualities for your preferred product. You have to justify your claims - that's the deal for posting here.

There are not crafted lies and efforts to mislead but sincere efforts to show people a way to realize what already is.

Another unsupported claim, and one for which there is a mountain of contrary evidence - EPO, PRM Info, MikeFinch, and HOM websites are all linked at the top of this page.

It’s good the emotional bang fizzled out, because peeling back reality to the core, there is not emotion, nor thought, but stillness and energy.

You are expressing a belief - you are of course entitled to believe what you want but please stop pretending this isn't a religious conviction - you may wish to live in a state of emotional paralysis but that is not something every human aspires to.

But the experience and resulting kindness, energy, and acceptance from knowledge keeps growing. 

You have now entered complete fantasy. No one who has experience of premies, and certainly of Rawat would associate Kindness with anything Rawat related. And as Joe has pointed out -the whole thing is near dead. And 'acceptance' - acceptance of what ? There is a premie website which is concerned with 'acceptance' of ex premie criticism- (I'm sure you can find it Ghi without being directed) - that demonstrates very well the true nature of what it ultimately means to be a premie.

Ghi, like every other premie, your fundamental problem, the one that actually prevents you from 'growing' is that you can't accept. You, like your master, can't accept criticism and so you bunker down into an intractable set of statements about 'your truth'. For the rest of us though they are just 'product claims'. Knowledge washes whiter. Knowledge has less calories. Knowledge has more fibre.
