Platt,

Platt asked:
Can anyone tell me what's the difference between Eastern mystic
enlightenment and Western born again revelation?

Seems to me both open up heretofore unknown vistas of experience beyond
everyday dualism. That some privilege one experience over the other seems
arrogant.

Scott:
As the phrase "born again" is used in the New Testament, I don't think there
is any difference. But the phrase has, I think, been debased in certain
Evangelical circles, to mean something like a deeply felt religious
affirmation taken when an adult.
