Well it's interesting to hear Steve's viewpoint as well as he is coming from a different one altogether. You are showing the same black and white thinking now as you obviously were then. DLM and "Knowledge" and I have no idea what Rawat (who we can now see as Mishler said had no idea about meditation and was as ignorant as could be) was trying to make us think but the core doctrine in DLM (apart from the secret one that Rawat should roll in money and stupid opulence and should be "protected" with any amount of lies if necessary) was that this was about experience and not doctrine. Experiencing and not thinking. Remember, as you keep harping on, we had to get rid of the mind and that is not done by thinking but by meditating and living and not worrying about thinking and not thinking about thinking. Satsang was not for poring over to get the intellectual meaning and think about how you can manifest it but for listening to in a meditative state and allowing the universal energy to come through you. Trust. Surrender. These didn't mean to trust in everything Rawat said as he made mistakes in his satsangs but to trust in God and surrender to the process of realisation through SS&M.You must have been the MIND-iest premie in Vancouver, possibly the whole of Canada and you are also the most impolite Canadian in the whole world. What, are you really an American?  Yes you must listen to the Word of the Master, the Holy Name, obsessively not the words. You were the bad premie! Once again I reiterate that this is how I saw it back in the 1970s and actually I've never even thought about any of this stuff since so it's pretty well direct and unmediated from the past and I don't believe any of the beliefs I had then were correct.
