Yes, excellent point. I've never seen MMY actually communicate with anyone. Jim and Rory may well be enlightened, but they don't seem to have enough self-awareness to notice how they come across. Maybe they just don't give a shit. a

Haven't you guys paid any attention to the ROLE MODEL these "enlightened" guys have? Has MAHARISHI ever been open to feedback? Has he ever demonstrated the slightest desire to ever *communicate* with another human being? I have to say, based on the time I spent with him, that the answer is an enormous NO. Maharishi doesn't communicate -- he pontificates. He makes pronouncements, and expects people to be awed by the things he says. Now look at Rory and Jim. Who do you think they're modeling their behavior on? We're too far "beneath" them to communicate with. The only thing a truly enlightened being like Jim or Rory can think of to do with one of us "unenlight- ened" souls is preach to us and tell us what we have to do to become *almost* as good as they are. Never really *as* good, of course, but close, if we try real hard, and display enough awe over their pronouncements. The thing is, Maharishi had a little charisma for a while, long enough to suck a large number of people in with such an act. These guys? They're just trying to run his act but without anything to back it up. IMO, of course. I could be wrong. Both of these guys could really be enlightened for all I know. But if it were *proved* to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were fully enlightened, I'd *still* never take anything they say seriously or act upon it.
