I just watched Godspell for
the first time since I was young. It's very interesting how much the whole
thing reminded me of TMO.

Some here have wondered about Maharishi’s motives in fostering his increasingly bizarre schemes. Tallest buildings, rajas, etc. Some say he’s upping the weirdness ante in order to motivate people to leave and think for themselves. Others say his vision is far ahead of the rest of the world and he’s establishing the foundation of an enlightened society. Here’s another theory. When Jennifer was in M’s room late at night in Mallorca (for reasons we need not re-hash) she said he often derided the Westerners as gullible fools for believing all the things he was telling them (hence, our dear, already-enlightened co-moderator’s handle). Perhaps, like a playground bully, he has a cynical streak that causes him to derive pleasure from making fools out of people. Perhaps, as with any addiction, he has had to keep increasing the weirdness ante in order to continue gratifying this streak. If there is any truth to this theory, I wouldn’t assume this was his only motivation. He’s a master at incorporating paradoxical tendencies. I would suggest that plenty of altruism is mixed with the cynicism. |
