Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00117)

While surfing the www, I came across Ken Wilber's endorsement of his
teacher/guru Adi Dama (or something)  who I think was once called Bubba Free
John (???).  He give an endorsement of this guy as a guru worthy of bakti-yoga.
As far as I could see, the way to enlightenment is the sacrifice of the ego and
the linking to Unified Primal Mind by adoration of this man.  I hope I am not
getting this right.

Does anyone know about this guru?  I have changed a lot of my ideas recently and
fear I could become open to some of this cult stuff.    I really admire Wilber's
writings (some don't on theos-l, I know), but I am concerned that Wilber thinks
that World Service, World Soul and World Enlightenment can come through this
recent  human incarnation of God(?).  And that we will enter the stream of
evolution and progress quicker to the state of Godhood (located somewhere near
Montana one can only asssume) if we link up with Adi Bubba and all those that
love and adore this guy --that our only hope is Bubba Consciousness?!  He looks
like a fat Anglo fruitcake too me, but maybe Buddha looked like a fat Eastern
ninny on the physical plane, but  appeared as Beauty itself to the open eye of
buddhi to those that can see the human aura at its highest levels.  It could be
true.

Please tell me I have got this all wrong.

Namaste
