Yes. Of Course ...

 

Much like playing a flute, violin ...or piano,

singing, dancing, ...or playing.

 

Many do it yet not everybody makes same money

( ...or other things )

 

But, who is to say that, Mozart, Beethoven

made exactly same music as anybody who ever attempted it.

 

Or that Michael Angelo and Leonardo Da Vinci made

same paintings as anyone else.

 

 

....and, who is to say every talked about `I', `me' all other

concepts with same eloquence, effect and authenticity as

.... Ramana, Tolle, Buddha or Jesus !

Lewis: Anyone can say anything and as you do anyone can hold to

whatever standard of excellence or non-excellence desired or imagined.

That does not mean anyone need twirl with you.

 

As for those mentioned they did as they were (are for Tolle). And so?

What of the many others?
