Who of us had not written that as our assessment of the Movement at this or that time, for this or that project. And there are many ways of looking at the same situation. What was "crazy" for one person was not crazy for another. Part of this may be due to different perspectives on what was happening. It appears many comments about "crazy days, crazy projects, strange behavior" is from a linear, project management sort of perspective -- thinking if we are trying to accomplish X -- this is NOT the way to do it. Or, alternatively, "why the hell are we doing project X". There are other perspectives. Some may be closer to what MMY was actually doing. I'll state a perspective, not THE perspective, simply -- without the nuances. The World Plan, Heaven on Earth, MIU, big projects, unconventional behavior, etc were not about such initiatives. They were simply tools for MMY to help us break our boundaries. Do you think conventional projects, plans and implementation are going to break boundaries? No, they generally confirm the status quo. On the other hand, crazy, outlandish, odd, squirmish projects were just that because we had inner attachments, ego issues, projections, assumptions about how things should be and what is normal, etc. Huge and or crazy projects, often both were a set of tools that MMY used to break these internal boundaries. The outer fruits of the actions were up to nature -- and not the focus. And the ultimate boundary breaker - his sexual affairs. Actually, he hated sex. But he made a great sacrifice, knowing that someday, the whole thing would go public and break boundaries big time. If you don't like that theory, how about this?: both the affairs and the whacky projects were symptomatic of a brilliant, highly-evolved man who may not have been as fully enlightened as he thought he was, and whose unresolved issues threw him off course.
