You can't *handle* the truth." ... then what is your ' take " of the interview of P .Mason "the" biographer of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - i found at: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/ark/stories/2008/2160504.htm Rachael Kohn: Paul, did you ever meet Maharishi Mahesh Yogi? Paul Mason: Initially I wanted to, and then I changed my mind. I thought, Well this man has such a profound effect on all of his followers - Mike Love of The Beach Boys and The Beatles - their lives never seemed the same. I was determined to get close to him to find out as much as I possibly could, to be a sort of fly on the wall. But I held back from getting too close to him. Rachael Kohn: Why? Paul Mason: I think he had an incredible hold over his followers. I think he had an almost hypnotic, mesmerising effect on people, and I guess I would be as vulnerable as anybody else to that, and I could see that, so I didn't want to get that involved. .... in IMHO wouln't it be great if Deepak Chopra had done the same (BTW according our personal first- and last - contact he was afraid, too..)
