If you start playing the game of being an "enlightened somebody," the
true teacher is going to call you on it. He or she is going to expose
you, and that exposure is going to hurt. Because the ego will be
there, standing in the light of Truth, exposed and humiliated. Of
course, the ego will cry "foul!" It will claim that the teacher made a
mistake and begin to justify itself in an effort to put its protective
clothing back on. It will begin to spin justifications with incredible
subtlety and deceptiveness. This is where real spiritual sadhana
(practice) begins. This is where it all becomes very real and the
student discovers whether he or she truly wants to be free, or merely
wants to remain as a false, separate, and self-justifying ego. This
crossroad inevitably comes and is always challenging...

The question was perfectly relevant to Ellen's participation here, Robo-deb. We all were invited
witnesses to her induction into Wayne's World, complete with promises and assurances that she'd
be more than happy to admit her mistakes, should she make any. Ellen is big on claims and
promises, but MIA when it comes to fulfilling any of them. She observed Wayne playing guru, she
posts this assertion about those who claim to be enlightened, so the question is relevant.k It's
also relevant to her and you, since you are both now claiming to be "enlightened" yourselves.

What does you or anyone else having issues with Wayne have to do with answering a very valid and
relevant question, Robo-deb?
