"Maharishi also once called CC a stepping stone." Oh wow - that would explain a lot of things with Jim.
A young skinny Jim while washing dishes at a remote TM center somewhere in the Midwest hears this cool teacher Barry brag to a chick - "Maharishi sez CC is a stepping stone". Jimbo soon moves on, because he was never smart enough, cool enough, rich enough - but he never forgets. Time flies by but he always remembers that "CC is a stepping stone" as he retires every night. Soon Jimbo is no longer skinny. Lots of water has flown down the Ganges and Jimbo is now a clearly weary middle aged, rather..how do I put this in a sensitive, politically correct way, well rather obese, who swears he won't return wherever unless he is enlightened. He begins his quest for the magic stone CC. He hasn't forgotten what Barry had once said. He knows he has to step on CC to scale the wall of samsaara and haul his sorry, obese ass to GC and beyond. But Jimbo being an idiot had failed to take into account that the magic stone CC was built by skinny, starving Indian yogis who prided on their life-abnegating, masochistic skills as spirituality to masquerade their lack of materialistic opportunities. They clearly hadn't bargained a society materially rich where people enjoyed life and that there would be the possibility of an obese albiet weary Jimbo trying to step on it. It was only designed to handle 160 pounds !!! Well Jimbo stepped onto CC enthusiastically as he lurched to scale the wall of samsara. But poor Humpty Dumpty Jim landed on his sorry, obese ass. He was humiliated, ashamed, embarrassed as CC split into two little C's. Oh how sad poor Jim must have been - I have tears in my eyes just contemplating that pathetic scene. This had a tremendous impact on Humpty Dumpty Jim. He recalled that enlightened was hard to measure in one's actions - he had many, many inane, banal platitudes by heart. Out of his incredible pain and sadness came a beautiful story of his purported Enlightenment. Which of course didn't convince Bob Price who after a couple of minutes of watching Jim's interview started cleaning CD's - but whatever. Jimbo - this is terrible, I think I may well refrain from making fun of your enlightenment. I can see why your buttons get pushed anytime people start criticizing Maharishi, TM and now Girish. You can't help it - I'm sorry I pissed you off, I didn't know your Enlightenment was hiding all this pain of your humiliation.
