A seemingly insightful and deep analysis based on the assumption that she is not mad and has a truth to tell. But you may just be waiting your brain energy. Why bother? I think I'm channelling Uncle Tantra here when I say to you - It's not that you would *like to believe that her story is true* is it? And if there IS a story but she singularly fails to back it up, you would like to have in place an explanation to *save the appearances* is it? ;-) > > > From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:fairfieldl...@yahoogroups.com] > > On Behalf Of Joe Smith > > Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 1:57 AM > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: new books on Maharishi ??? > > > > > > > > > Are you saying this with any evidence or authority "Joe", or is this > > just > > > the way you wish it were? > > > > > > > Just being a jerk Rick, but it has been a year now.
