   Hi Frank, this last year I had a brief interaction with this man, because I   
   was fascinated to learn more about his tradition. At first, he behaved like a   
   nice person. I was definitely decent and respectful toward him. Then, for no   
   good reason, he    
   transformed into an arrogant, abusive asshole. Blew my mind. I am no expert on   
   Kabbalah. But I say he is no kind of spiritual master of any kind, no matter   
   how much he knows about Kabbalah. Real spiritual masters don't behave like   
   abusive, spoiled    
   children. I think I can say that's a fairly universal truth, regardless of   
   differences between spiritual traditions. I'm amazed that he doesn't see how,   
   by his bad behavior, he dishonors his Vedanta teacher Swami Swahananda, who   
   was a true, sterling    
   example of spiritual realization. He shouldn't mention his association with   
   the swami, otherwise people may think the good Swami might be like himself...
