I dunno- the mood-making had to come from somewhere, and that seems as good a misunderstood expression as any. And also when Maharishi speaks about being instantly enlightened once we transcend for the first time. ...(Like when the governators at the TM commune/apple juice farm I worked on in 1981 knew very very little about running a business, and didn't do a lot of work, yet blamed every failure on "negativity in the atmosphere".
