Irmeli, this archetype idea is exactly what have I wondered about in regard to the Rajas since they first donned their crowns. We humans seem to need these images - its' why many of us feel somehow "better" with pictures of deities on our bookshelf, or enjoy fairy tales, theater, opera stories and their grand a glittering sets, the rituals of Catholic mass, the glamour of royal families. It is one level of what Amma is probably doing when she does her Devi Bhava evening (she dresses in elegant saris and other regalia and appears as Mother Divine to let those watching soak in the images). It triggers something in the human brain. While I think the whole Raja thing seems ridiculous - I have often wondered if we don't need to see those images of people in crowns. It was the only meaningful reason I have ever come up with for the whole show. Personally, the TM Raja thing is so loaded with feelings of disappointment that I can't look at them and get any supposed benefit from the visual. But maybe that was the basic idea. > As to the Global Country of World Peace I do perceive a referent to it in the > very subtle domains. > If you feel free to say so, exactly what do you perceive?
