Hey, everybody, notice how I snipped 4 levels of posts on top of posts? Notice how I changed the subject to something more germane to where the thread has gone? We have world class gurus (in their own mind) and scholars of every sort (in their own mind) yet few have grasped onto the reality that this is not a bridge where you just spray paint your sentiments. Indeed, Maharishi's rules are being followed. To keep the domes pure? Doubtful. Maharishi believed he had the one and only true technique. At least that's the way he peddled it. That's the way he taught his teachers to peddle it. Indeed, why would someone in his right mind want to learn something else from another saint or vary their practice? He cognized or pulled out of his ass the true way of doing everything: Ayurveda, Vastu, Jyotish, Yagyas, making honey, music? His version was the right version, which is why he (TM)ed or (SM)ed it. Would Maharishi be loosening the rules now? Maybe, maybe not. If you had some bad marks against you in the past, you could get your slate wiped clean by signing up for one of Maharishi's endless SAVE THE WORLD WPAs. Once you got your slate wiped clean by attending that WPA, you we home free. In the good graces of the TMO again. Would he be freeing things up now? I doubt it? He was delusional for at least a decade before he died. Paranoid before that. Note the heavy security which protected Maharishi when his former minion Deepak and his wife went to visit him in Vloodrup. Right now there's yet another true believer check going on with DEVCO. People on IA are being called in for review of their loyalty and right thinking. Is this just DEVCO being extra cautious? IMO, no. This is DEVCO responding to instructions they've received from the Bardo.
