Correct and one should also point out that the field of yogis, spiritual teachers and holy men is full of fraudsters and charlatans.

That people seem willing to give unwarranted credit to some famous guy's claims does not invalidate your point. Ram Dass has said and written a lot of nonsense.

It is worth more than a downvote to mention here .. even if what you say is completely accurate, it is not the right time to say this, for really a lot of reasons

To address the content of your ill-timed comment, I enjoyed the book "Holy Madness" by Georg Feurstein. Details on request...
