    Rama (aka Frederick Lenz)

    First, I don't know about Adidam, but there was no clearly defined organization of Rama's students.

    I studied with him. He died in 1998. I fully accept his Enlightenment although I am also aware of all the controversy surrounding him. I have come to see that being Enlightened and behaving in what humans would describe as an exemplary fashion are two completely different things. Some people...

    Passion of a Goddess

    If you actually subscribe to the site, you will find that it contains a number of videos. Some appear to be purely artistic in nature but at least one shows a young woman who has clearly been actually crucified--nailed to a cross through her hands and feet. It does not merely seem acted to...
