   What you've appeared to say, many times, is you know, for a fact,   
   that all humans must have their very own living Master,   
   in the flesh, to experience what you have had   
   all along, and everyone has.   
      
   That might make sense, if it's, like, sex.   
   Sex with another person that is.   
   In real life.   
      
   Is that what you're referring to?   
      
   A kind of Tantric sexual yoga?   
      
   No other yoga will suffice?   
      
   Gnana/jnana won't work?   
   Bhakti won't work?   
   And it's gotta be in the flesh.   
   Not on the Internet, nor on cable televsion.   
      
   There is one, and only one, way.   
   A flesh and blood way is the way.   
   It's gotta be that way.   
      
   Not some spiritual way.   
   That would be woo.   
   Is that it?   
      
   You appear to be very dogmatic.   
   Your way is the only way.   
   And you know it.   
   For sure.   
   As a matter of fact.   
      
   That reminds me of some other people.   
   Ones who you seem to not appreciate.   
   Whom you seem to blame for a pickle.   
      
   Does that ring any bells?   
      
   How indoctrinated were you in religion,   
   before getting, enlightened, as you   
   seem to be saying you are?   
      
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
      
   ummmmmmmm enlightened? not likely.   
   he knows all the buzzwords and has read   
   all the books, but his words betray his   
   seeming position with great alacrity.
