I remember the evening in the late 1980s when Doug gave an exciting
talk about Veda Land to a packed dome. Easily one of the most
exciting nights at MUM I had experienced.
I remember seeing a tape of that talk (or something
very similar, where Doug was talking about VL) and
remember thinking, even then, that the claims were
so grandiose and vague that it was difficult to believe
anything would ever come of them.
That's what the movement was. That's what kept us going. That's
why so may of us devoted years of our lives at poverty levels. But
what were we embracing? - visions that never got past the talking
stage. And you remember those times fondly? I don't regret my time
spent in the movement. In fact I am grateful for much of it. But
looking back om evemts like you described, one after another, where
nothing came of them? I view them now from a more jaded lens.
