I think I see where the disconnect is in our dialog.  I separated Prem Rawat from Knowledge, which is not done in his paradigm.  The practice of the Knowledge would be a good thing, but to be associated with Prem Rawat would not, imho.  Does that clear it up for you?

Having said that, it would be a whole lot simpler for a friend to find a cleaner sijmpler connection and use it, sooner than wade through all this stuff, especially now that Knowledge is not given exclusively by the Lord Incarnate and essential for a human being to connect 'within inside' with the Infinite and is now merely a product and service of a Motivational Speaker.
