-Expectations can only be based on what has happened in the past. How could we really have an expectation, that would be "outside of the box" of our current frame of reference, based in the past. The only way to really ever have a "new" experience, is if we had an experience which was "unexpected" and "new", "fresh". This is why Maharishi claims innocence as the basis of enlightenment, or why Jesus is claimed to have said, that one must be like a child to enter the "Kingdom of Heaven".
