I cannot answer in your question about his views. Sorry. But I owe to say that if Dalai Lama is enlightened because of the reincarnation story, then you can call me Ian Curtis. He died at 18 May 80. My Birthday.\n\nbut of course he is the fascinating little guy.

Meditation is quite the joy! Yes, once you get past the initial mastering of the self, thoughts and blockages, its a sweet ride.\n\nMeditation has done a lot for me. Thanks to anon nature, I can frankly tell you I was quite a distraught fella, burdened and hopeless with no life: social or otherwise.\n\nMeditation opened up blocked chakras, re-energized the inner being through union of Kundalini and Spirit and stopped the buzz of the brain.\n\nMeditation brought humility of some good measure. Ability to understand and feel others. Ability to accept and be peaceful with belligerent people. Loosen up and see the humor behind it all.\n\nMeditation has done quite it's bit my transforming me and there is a long path to go before everything's close to perfection. But the joy should come from the start.\n\nHere is a good place to start, from the heart:\nhttp://www.sahajayoga.com.au/info/experience/default.asp.shtml

QUESTION: Wasn’t it irresponsible for the Buddha to walk out on his wife and child?\n\nANSWER: It couldn’t have been an easy thing for the Buddha to leave his family. He must have worried and hesitated for a long time before finally leaving. But he had a choice, dedicating himself to his family or dedicating himself to the whole world. In the end, his great compassion made him give himself to the whole world. And the whole world still benefits from his sacrifice. This was not irresponsible. It was perhaps the most significant sacrifice ever made.\n\n-------------\n\ni also heard that it is her wife who ask Siddharta to give birth for her so she can remember him, she agree with Siddharta's search for truth.\nlater, i heard that his wife and his son and many family members also follows him.. (but you might want to validate it)

Genius..people think he's still doing "magic", and they are completely missing the point of his stunts. He isn't creating illusions, he is pushing the human body to extreme limits with endurance tests. He is doing what the Yogis and Natives of many tribes have done for ages, see how much the human body can sustain. It's really quite beautiful in a spiritual way. \n\nThis isn't about entertainment for him, it's about honoring a subculture legacy that was embraced by his idols before him.\nHoudini did these tests too. \nThose that think he is still in the whole "pick a card" thing are just not getting it.\n\nI have a friend who lives in New York and she said she saw him in the globe and he looked like a Beta fish.

He's been sitting too long mediating and his legs went to sleep. \nBut seriously, how many people would take that guy serious. He knows it is futile, to teach any individual about enlightenment. Everyone has to come to that on his/her own

You mean Sai Baba? If so, he is a real person. I'm not entirely sure how to describe him. He is a sort of religious leader, except he isnt confined to one particular religion. His teachings are mainly about peace and love for all. He says that he isnt God, or an incarnation, but he is able to perform certain things that would be viewed as "miracles" for some.

i think he would do well to  take a break to go to some secluded space to gather his thoughts. i know its hard but the sooner he gets  communicates with his heart and gathers courage to go on in life the better it is for him.

Since when does He meditate. I think you need to understand that we pray instead of meditate. Other religions meditate, not us.

There are some lovely meditations on the OSHO site.  They even have webcasting.  Take a look and enjoy...

This was featured in a lot of papers. It seems he is seeking life coaching from a 'mystic guru' and each symbol means something different. It is something for him to concentrate on and receive wisdom thereby apparently.

My gosh! They are already here NOW! Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi http://www.amma.org Read all about her and then go see her, then you will realize that.\n\nPlus there are many more working "quietly" in India and the Himalayas.\n\nI have read hundreds of books on spirituality for 17 years. I have learnt that there is ALWAYS someone here as great as those you mentioned here helping us. Some are just "quiet" not seeking attention, but only help those who sincerely want help. \n\nBut the person that is getting the MOST attention worldwide is Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi). She has hugged over 23 million people in the past 30 years. She revealed her God-Consciousness when she was 22 yrs old. Amma spends 6 months of the year traveling the world because she says that everybody on this planet is her child. When she is in India travelling, as many as 80,000-100K people show up at once to line up and see her. \n\nBillions of dollars have been donated to her for the past 30 years, and every dollar was spent building hundreds thousands of free homes for the poor, feeding the poor daily, raising orphaned children, building a state of the art hospital giving free care, many universities, etc. She does not spend it on herself. God provides her needs.\n\nI have read five books on her including dialogues that were recording. They are the most wise, intelligent and loving responses. I have learnt more from her than anything else. Many have already achieved God-Realization through her guidiance.\n\nThe reason why the newspapers don't talk about her in the USA because the Media does NOT have spiritual values!!! She'll be in the USA starting June-July.\n\nADDED: When Amma was six months old, she went from laying position straight to walking and talking bypassing the crawling stage. Babies do not talk or walk at SIX MONTHS! Unelss they are an enlightened soul.

Did you see this one?\n\nhttp://popoholic.com/pop-video-youtube.php?id=ZlIwcVAxZsU&title=Criss%20Angel%20Mindfreak%20Video\n\nYeah this guy is beyond amazing.  I don't have any theories.  I hope that he really is what he says he is. He has a fine tuned and coordinated sense of mind, body and spirit and an ability to focus energies that most of us don't understand.  Maybe once every 2000 years or so, someone comes along that can perform miracles.  I can't wait to see what this guy does next.

No, I am.  See my picture?  I bike hard all the time.  Look at that trim mid!  But seriously, he is not the sexiest man.  Maybe one of them.  But not the most sexiest.  And to see him on the podium this July - that's wishful thinking.  He's going to get into form at the Giro.  Take a 3 week break and then race the tour.  He is not as young as he used to be.

Um....no brain, no pain??\n   Seriously, the mind can do some absolutely incredible things, including increased pain tolerance. Other than being dramatic, though, I can't see how this helps him much. I mean if he were sleeping, and he got assaulted by a couple of Ninja Cheerleaders leaping upon him from chairs- he'd be ALL OVER that. What I'd like to see is whether he can get himself into this meditative state quickly enough for it to be helpful in a fight and whether it would do him any good.
