Do you think that there is a possibility that your faith in Maharishi and in the "rightness" of his movement, might be a mistake? In other words, can you consider the possibility (just the possibility) that what you believe with all of your heart, about Maharishi and his movement, could be completely wrong?
Is it possible? As I've already stated, when I made the decision to leave the TMO, I did so knowing that I could be completely wrong, that I may have made the biggest mistake of my life. Now...in the nearly 30 years that have followed, everything I experience tells me otherwise. But to this day, I really don't know! I like going with my instincts, I really do. I like knowing that I could be wrong. I like the not knowing! Sorry for the diversion and back to my question to you. Is it possible? Geez, why does your decision have to have been completely right or completely wrong? The Movement always has been a mixed bag, as have we. Both it and we have good and bad qualities. You have a great career which you wouldn't have had if you had remained full time in the movement. Most people who remained full time have little to show for it, either in terms of any great spiritual advantage, and certainly not materially. One scenario might have been to have distanced yourself, but occasionally attended courses, but you could probably do that now.
