Don,

"Like Muslim terrorists, New Age fundamentalists like Volu and Hawkeye need to create an insane caricature of their adversaries to justify the intellectual bankrupsy of their close-minded dogmatism."

That is indeed an insane caricature, but thanks for the giggle. Wondering if, questioning the proposed kindness and altruism is as valid as questioning proposed obe/lucid dreams.

"Duh, no, Volu, our Sunday workday of repair and cleaning services for the poor and elderly was planned because we first needed to discovered where the needs were.  And no, our loving service is offered unconditionally without any exposure to doctrine or even an invitation to join us in church."

Duh, directed altruism. Anyway, no advertising sounds nice.

"It's fascinating that New Age narcissists like Volu and Hawkeye do nothing on a regular basis to help the poor and the needy, and yet, they presume to sit in righteous judgment on those who do whom they have never met."

Righteous judgement on those who do whom they have never met is the premise of this thread. Can't speak for Hawkeye, but you're right about doing nothing to help the poor and the needy. Neither do I use them on a regular basis for a CV to make me or any organization look good.

"In addition, we offer a free lunch every Monday to the poor before which we DO say grace."

Right, no free lunches.

"Actually, we are too busy helping others to take the time to root out all possible impurities in our motivation."

Like being too busy travelling the astral to take stock of what is happening.

"I just want to acknowledge all of you who support my efforts in Private Messages to expose the mindset on this site for what it really is."

We experience the outside world through our individual slant of perception of it, so that's what it really is, exposing one's perception.
