Thank you for sharing, I find it interesting that Paramhansa Yogananda sent him on his way, so, obviously my mind loves its meanderings, i confess <g>.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 Hi Victor, I appreciate your honesty and I have been there. After I crashed (still burning) the "saving" Grace for me was Robert Adams. www.leelaa.net . May I suggest satsang 901223 5 . Also in that vein 900830 3. As Sandeep shared here sometime back, some like to talk, not very many are concerned with hauling ass... ???(Sorry Sandeep can't remember or find that old post but it was great!) I spend a lot of my time listening to Robert. There are many recorded satsangs posted there ( the site is always being expanded, new satsangs and transcripts being added) He was realized; one of the real dudes as Sandeep would say and listening is being in the presence of that Consciousness. Quite a gift. ( his monotone voice was because he had Parkinson's. He had a translator toward the end of the sojourn here, because of diffculty in understanding him) I'd actually like to suggest 901223 5 for everyone here. It blows away some of the Advaita misconceptions that have been posted here. Interested in hearing your two cents if you care to.
