They believe the truth of what their saying, even if they only have
a sketch and are making the rest up, on the fly. One of the
disappointing stories on Mahesh is the story of how he would be
prepped by his students on abstract ideas, often by reading various
Sanskrit translations; all backstage, behind the curtain.
Could someone elaborate on Maharishi doing this? I know he spoke
with experts who "drew the knowledge" out of him. But do what is
described here really happen? Just how was Maharishi (trade mark)
Vastu or Maharishi (trade mark) Ayurveda developed? I was told
that experts drew the knowledge out of Maharishi's omniscience.
Not so?
Not. See the previous post.
I have a collection of personal, insider notes from a Purusha as to
what "knowledge" was being digested at various times. You can see
from them who M. was meeting with and later what programs were being
fabricated from those meetings. He basically would meet with various
experts in various fields and use the information that fit his system
and discard those that didn't. It did not matter if this distorted
these teachings, he was supposedly restoring the purity of the
tradition...
A great example of how course and knowledge material would be created
was the 700-page source material for the Age of Enlightenment courses
and techniques. It was a huge pile of photocopies from common
Sanskrit translations in those daze, a lot on the number 7 and how
creation inherently was based on different permutations of 7. A lot
of Arthur Avalon. Descriptions of the various heavens and hells,
chakra systems, etc.
All those late night lectures came from students reading him this
stuff AFAICT.
