The idea of a shift in the consciousness of humanity has been around for decades. It has been the essential central thesis of 'New Age' literature all along. To attribute the actual changes only to Maharishi's efforts is more than silly, in my view. At best, Maharishi's movement is a part of, a manifestation of, the much larger phenomenon. And, for goodness' sake, the expression that the TM programs bring cohesion to outer functioning systems, befuddles the mind. The TMO, itself, is one of the most consistently, ineptly run organizations I've ever seen in my life. Such claims of 'cohesion' remind me of Orwell's 'love is hate, war is peace and ignorance is strength.' I find that my TM experience reflects almost the *opposite* of what I see manifest in the TMO - and I have a VERY difficult time with your [Jim Flanegin's] easy acceptance of it all as just peachy keen just how it is. It seems acceptable only on the cosmic level of accepting that the bullshit we see in the world is also peachy keen when viewed as "perfect just how it is." But that idea is contrary to actually doing anything about the bullshit. Sure, you can become 'part' of the bullshit - and then perhaps you no longer see any difference, eh?
