Fair point. We really don't know. All we know is that the official word is that Movement-zoids aren't supposed to practice RS's programs and that RS doesn't represent Maharishi's programs, per The Letter from way back when. The impression is of a severed connection. Impressions can be wrong. > >>> > > > >> > Does Maharishi set that standard that all gurus should follow? > > > > Absolutely not.

Rather a deliberately chosen provocation, especially in that I answered your question with a generality not directed at anyone in particular. Is a bias of yours revealed in the way you chose to interpret me? Was a bias of L.B.'s revealed in his interpretation of what I said to mean that I sided with hardcore protectionists in Fairfield? Then, we all have biases, or at least the "remains" thereof. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
