Well we are talking about a pitchman for FULL human potential here so it isn't exactly JUST some guy on a park bench. And his "mutterings" were ironclad policies that affected the lives of many people. Not to mention the blatant hypocrisy of a guy whose own life was extended by Western medical doctors acting as if they were witch doctors to avoid at all cost. > > It's already obvious that some of those suggestions have been > overruled in someway by King Tony or that MMY himself modded > the system at some point (like gasp, HE never changed his mind > about something). > > L The "Aw shucks routing doesn't fly here. Here is a guy who is supposed to be the embodiment of his own system revealing that it didn't work very well in increasing his own mental capacity and whose physical state not only reveals that he was NOT in possession of knowledge worthy of the grandiose claim of being "the supreme authorities on health", he falls waaaay short of a man I have witnessed using the rasayana "Dry Martini" followed by sacred cow in as many forms as he could find it. Maharishi was in poor health starting in his 70's in a decade where the martini system produced a man who could still beat me in tennis. (Not trying to make to much of a point of this since I kinda suck at tennis.) I can feel nostalgic for Maharishi too. But that doesn't cloud my vision of the counter evidence to every claim he made about his system that the end of his life represented. If Maharishi in his 70's represents the "after" picture I'm amazed anyone still follows his "supreme" health advice. And if he, with his ability to set himself up with the most ideal possible life conditions according to his own theory couldn't at least give us the vitality of the average octarian farmer in the Tuscan countryside knocking back the rocket fuel grappa between bottles of Chianti wine (expect more such references in the coming weeks) what do you think his system is going to accomplish for all those whose economic circumstances don't allow for such perfect compliance to his "ideal" system?
