The yogic flying demonstrations at MUM pale in comparison to the
demonstrations by Rama when he was up on stage levitating in front of a
large crowd of followers. At those lectures, Rama would sometimes rise
up and levitate and then fill the whole room with golden light, and do
lots of other fancy magical stuff. This must have been very impressive -
if you were easily suggestible, drugged, in a trance-induction state or
under mass hypnosis.
Compared to the average Rama crowd, the students at MUM look like
paradigms of sanity! One wonders where Barry fits into all of this -
weird, neurotic, or psychotic, or all of the above? Barry does seem to
have a brain problem from being in and out of cults for most of his
adult life and who wouldn't? Go figure.
