Randy: I find it utterly laughable that on one hand you write about talking to your dead brother and receiving signs from the afterlife, while on the other you speak about "realizing the Truth of Being." The woo-woo BS is a big red flag. If you've actually seen the Truth, why would you eve bother with all that new agey stuff?
Randy's email above is not the first of it's kind I receive addressing my books/writings, nor will it likely be the last. I've never understood why seeing the difference between the knowing of Being, vs. the knowings that pertain to the experiential, must necessarily result in the end of all interest in new age, or paranormal type experience.
As I posted recently in this conversation from ST forum: spiritualteachers.proboards.com/post/421965:

Enigma:All sorts of New Age stuff?
Figgles: Even if one does believe in or engage with new age stuff, there's no need for meanings to be laden with that as they speak here about SR, or nonduality, so long as they see that one pertains to the experiential, while the other is addressing that which lies fundamental to that.
I get it that some folks might think that another's 'past life memory' or 'conversations with dead relatives,' seem ridiculously woo-woo or even crazy, but for those of us who have actual experiences of such, those experiences are really no different than any other experience.
So long as experience is not being conflated with the Truth of Being, talk about that, is not going to be 'laden' with new age stuff, anymore than it would be laden with any other experiential phenomenon deemed to be (t)rue.
