A few questions, Jim: How do you "know" that your purported state of enlightenment is permanent? Could it not change tomorrow, or next week? How do you "know" that you are enlightened? Is it possible that you are mistaken? If it is not possible that you could be mis- taken, does that make you better than than Maharishi? He, after all, declared Andy Rhymer to be enlightened, and Andy later turned out to be a child molester and a terrible embar- rassment to the TM movement, whom (as I under- stand it) Maharishi himself later condemned. So what do you think was going on in that situation? Was Maharishi (whom you presumably consider enlightened) originally right about Andy being enlightened? Or was he originally wrong about Andy being enlightened?
