On 2002/09/12 01:29, José H posted thus to the K-list: Hi Lori,
Allthough I never visited him in India, I also felt that he was present in
my home here once or twice. I felt he was challenging me, maybe even teasing
me or testing me. It might have been something like you say, trying to get
you angry, but i didn't become angry, so I wouldn't know really. Why he was
over here, I don't know, since he never was my guru. But I am very sure it
was him being here, his presence was very obvious.
