Nothing wrong with realizing you are on your Soul's Mission... And you choose a name for yourself... Many actors in Hollywood...do that! Many people who take the stage, do that! Perhaps Maharishi knew that he was Socrates, in a past life... And he knew, that he had to go out, and reach as many people as possible... Because he had been waiting many centuries to return to the earth sphere, and resume teaching, where he left off, last time around... The CIA, didn't get him this time around... But those same people gave death to Socrates, in his day... Same story, isn't it? R.G.
