Is this groundhog day or deja vu all over again? Maharishi stated very clearly in a Humboldt tape which was a favorite residence course tape, which got repackaged with the MERU swan, Packabel and the haughty announcement of "Courses for Citizens of the Age of Enlightenment" that there had been a misinterpretation of Patanjali, that there was an 8 fold path (actually 8 limbs to the tree), and that the limbs weren't to be followed one at a time until you got them all mastered. Mastering one (he used 3 different branches as examples) gets you mastery of all. Pull one leg of a table and the other legs come with it. So whom are you going to believe? Maharishi or Maharishi?
