I don't know what it is with this forum. We seem so suspicious or 
envious of successful teachers (Tolle, GMR, a Havana smoking Vivekananda 
etc.), selling their books by truckloads, that we feel the need to laugh 
at their realisations while downplaying enlightenment, saying it is 
irrelevant or an ego trip. Now here we see two spiritual partners 
beaming with happiness, teaching a method 
(http://www.world-view.org/aci/online/onlineformal.html) that can lead 
others to the very same realisation allowing them to bloom and beam just 
like their mentors. They show through their living exemple that 
enlightenment exists and that methodology works.

Is it a coincidence that many of us here downplaying enlightenment, 
non-dual states (that they can only keep up for a couple of minutes 
followed by longer spiritual refractory periods), methodology, the 
qualities of enlightened teachers (which are downgraded to 
"projections"), the success and popularity that inevitably follow genuin 
spiritual realisation etc. are a bunch of disappointed old farts that 
broke their teeth on various methods, therapies, schools, religions and 
nearing the end of their lives try to come to a positive evaluation of 
it, by convincing themselves that they have made some progress because 
now they expect it all was a lot of prapanca?
