************ I also attended a TTC, Humboldt 1970, and it is my recollection that MMY said that one without respect for his guru could not gain GC or BC. But merely practicing TM does mean that one has a guru, so respect for anybody would not be a factor that would inhibit gaining of higher states after CC. There are many stories in the Vedic literature of people going off into the woods and gaining BC, entirely without a contact with a guru (or anybody else). There are no barriers for an enlightened person to gaining GC and BC, a process which is aided by the production of soma in the enlightened man's nervous system.
