**SNIP TO END** My feelings and experience follow Ingegerd's. Although I didn't meet Maharishi until 1971, how I felt about him then is how I still feel about Guru Dev, whom I feel was very much present in Maharishi's demeanor and his darshan. Perhaps that's still true, I wouldn't be surprised if it was so. That being said, nevertheless, I cannot comprehend the multiple eccentricities that are now the fundamentals of Maharishi's TMO when transcendence and the simple radiance of that in relative life used to be. I do not rule out that much more is going on that I am aware of or can comprehend, but based on what I know at this point I remain puzzled over the evolution of the movement into its present form.
