To the Poor Victims of Tony Parsons He is a money-grubbing fake with occasionally eloquent moments that seem meaningful, but his message is bullfeathers. Sri Ramana Maharshi gave at least ten "things to do" to various seekers at various times. Of course his "Find out 'Who am I'?" is the most well-known. However, there were many others, with each answer at any

James Swartz and Donald Trump-- Two Peas in a Pod, Both Burning Down Their Houses With Delusions and Lies It is a shame to have a President of the USA who mirrors so much of James Swartz. Both are liars, shameless, and narcissistic. Both claim to be loved by multitudes-- "Look at the 70 million votes I got," says Trump, and (in a recent SW post) "I get 200 likes for every �

A Compliment, An Insult, Or Something Else? I almost disconnected a call with a good friend this weekend. She said something so horrible sounding, at the outset, that my first impulse was to say, "F--- you!" and to hang up. Somehow, I held back. She said, "Ya' know, you're the best student James Swartz ever had!" As I already said, somehow I didn't sw

One Paragraph from Sri Ramana Maharshi is enough to show James Swartz for the pitiful fake that he is. Often the question comes, "How do I get to the essence of Advaita Vedanta, especially without a 'real' guru?" The answer I often give is: 'To go to the true Source, to the quintessential essence, to the sages that Ramana Maharshi himself held in the highes

Hey, EQ. I hope you never felt unsupported by me. I never asked for any "proof" because I never needed any. (Plus...) By my reckoning, EQ, you are a "good guy." When it comes to a contest between who's telling the truth, you or Squirts, to my mind there was never a contest. You certainly see James Swartz and Isabella clearly and accurately (by my reckoning)

"My biggest concern is saving others from your manipulation, and making sure they aren't misled regarding Vedanta." This quote--- It was Heather about James Swartz, wasn't it?"

IS THIS TRUE? In a private message a sincere spiritual person sent words which I shall paraphrase: "Trav, just this one verse from Ramana Maharshi below devastates the teachings of James Swartz totally."

Thanks for your Perspectives & Questions, And Some Responses When I started this forum I wrote more dispassionately. You can see that in the first post on page one.

ME?

You're Absolutely Correct, Dis-Illusioned Just to be clear: First, I agree with you completely. Swartz is "truly mad, manipulative, and unworthy." Second, James is, and always has been, "misguided and desperate." That he is with you, as he tried to with Heather, "resorting to blackmail," is no surprise. The shock would be if he responded (at any

A Public Note To ziziz and Dis-Illusioned Until you mentioned it, ziziz, I had largely forgotten James Swartz's empty threats regarding Heather, me, and everyone associated with us from back in 2017.
