If it's so painful to watch Mike in his confusion, Jonx, and if you sincerely "applaude' [sic] his efforts, why not give him a hand and answer some of his questions?

For starters, Mike assumes that he's an unlit match, i.e. someone who never really "got it":

I am clearly an unlit match.

Do you agree?  Please explain your thinking, one way or the other.

He then explains that he

... gave Knowledge to many people as an instructor, with Maharaji's blessing, as well other 'delicate' (shall we say) assignments directly on his behalf and with his agya.

and asks:

Does this mean that all the premies now practising, who I gave K to, are unlit matches too? Or is M's grace so powerful that his grace can pass through an unlit match instructor to create a lit match premie?

Can you answer that, Jonx?  Again, what do you think and why?

Mike then asks for some practical help:

I have recently been having an email thread with a premie family to whom I gave K, and who are freaked out that I am now an ex. Should I email them to say that unfortunately as a consequence they are in fact unlit matches themselves, and never 'really' got K?

You talk about Mike "burdening" the family but that's not really fair, is it, seeing as they seem to be the ones who are "freaked out" and asking him for some answers?  What should he tell them, Jonx? 

Then Mike asks another rather interesting question:

Since he is all-knowing, he must have known at the time that I was an unlit match. And it is even stranger - I did not actually apply to be an instructor, he asked me to be one; and he even kept me on after all the others had been suspended (1990/91).

Is this his unfathomable lila ?

What's your answer to that, my good friend?  And isn't it wonderful that we're all here for each other like this?
