Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Hi Michael, I've indeed expressed skepticism, and why not? It seems 'healthy enough'. Talk is cheap... coming from 'me', coming from Balsekar, coming from anyone. In fact, now that you've stated the below, I'm more skeptical than ever. In a previous post, there was a dialogue between Maharaj and Balsekar, with Balsekar essentially stating " I have Realized, " and describing a dialogue with Maharaj that can't be verified to have taken place. Now you've posted Balsekar stating " The person disappears along with all other phenomena. " Disappears to whom? To what perceiver? Also, Balsekar has unequivocally stated " the future is entirely predetermined, " which essentially goes against the teachings of all other sages. What I'm really " skeptical of " are words. They're cheaper than rubber pencils in a dime-store, and even more worthless. The skepticism (call it 'unknowingness' if you like) remains, and no answers are sought -- there are none. No further questions, your honor :-).
