In my case I needed (not wanted) to experience first hand who I amSeems to me you've got it bad. I got into this out of uninformed curiosity, & then was hooked because the initiation triggered off an infant memory which I took to be proof that 'it' was true. The 12 yrs of my youth which were spent during the days which you & your lying co-apologists claim never happened, were a time of utter directionless confusion during which I found out who I was more by a process of elimination than by any words of wisdom from Prem Rawat.
Sorry to drag up one of your responses from another thread:
He has always called a spade a spade in that regard, almost as a counter to the perception that parental love is the highest. It's high; it's joyous; it's fulfilling... yes... but it has limits. Ask the parent whose kids have left and they never hear from, or worse, whose kids have died. It's easy to get caught into some ego-centric martyr complex being a parent, and he's never let me get away with that. But that has never eroded my deep love for my kids, or appreciation for my responsibility as a parent. On the contrary, it has freed me to love them even more.
This is wishful thinking bullshit,& emotionally manipulative to boot. Let me tell you that when one of my children died (cot death),if I'd had the misfortune to be consoled by someone like you telling me that it wasn't so bad because GMJ's love was of superior quality,I'd've punched your fucking lights out.
