The result would probably be the most accurate conceivable account of Maharishi's life and times: not a thing to hang onto, not a thing to be sure of, an infinite swirling cloud of possibilities that never coalesces into anything definitive. Brilliant post, raunchydog. I was racking my brains trying to think of a way to put this but couldn't even come close. Never had the pleasure of listening to Jaimini, but your analogy, together with the quotes and what I was struggling to express about "FFL: The Book," gives me a glimpse. Great stuff.
