LoL!!!
Mike Myers is a better actor, as well as possibly a more credible guru. :-) More seriously, is there anyone here who would not be comfortable with one of Maharishi's private journals emerging -- in his own handwriting -- in which he admits that he considered *himself* a charlatan and a fake guru from Day One? It wouldn't faze me in the least, no more than it would if a similar journal was found penned by Rama - Frederick Lenz, or even by the Buddha himself. Only those whose egos are so large that they think that no one could possibly fool them would IMO be upset with such a discovery. Me, I know better. I know full well -- from experience -- that I can be fooled by a good act, a good spiel, and a good costume. It's *no problem* for me to admit that. IMO the very thing that allows charlatanry to proliferate and succeed is the suckers' ego- based inability to believe that they could be fooled. That belief is synonymous for me with "already being a fool."
