which came first ?....... the lying , or the over development of white matter.

It could be like conducting a study on "strong" people and  claiming to have discovered  the cause by saying it was their highly developed biceps !

Absolutely.

I guess the toughest thing for me to deal with over the years has been trying to understand how so-called spiritual teachers ( not just Malibu Prem ) could lie in the name of truth. I simply don`t know how they can sleep at night.

The science maybe too rational an explanation but it seems like some natural born liars could be `hardwired`. It`s a strange world we live in that`s for sure.
