Perhaps that mid-70s transition is grist for Geoff Gilpin's mill. One thing I've noticed in my readings is that different people set different dates for the end of the golden times with Maharishi. In _Call No Man Master_, Joyce Collin- Smith says the good times ended when the Beatles generation came on the scene in the late '60s. Here Shannon Dickson says it ended with the TM-Siddhis. Some people say it went south with some '80s-era price rise; others say the end was marked by the introduction of sthapatya-ved in the '90s. Because so many people end the golden era at different times, I once tended to view the disaffections as having more to do with the people than the movement. Now I'm inclined to see those people as having different degrees of clarity in their perception. Those who bailed earlier may have seen more clearly. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
