Barry, there's only one conclusion to come to, He LIED. MMY LIED, when he made these statements.
Does that make you feel better, does it give you closure, or a trophy of some sort. Now, most people I know would say, he EXAGGERATED, he engaged in HYPERPOLE, he is laying out a grand vision of possibilities, and discount it appropriately. But if you feel it is a "gotcha" of the highest order, then great. And I guess every the same holds true for every man who told a woman he was romancing, that, "the stars shine brighter when I'm with you" I guess that's a lie too, and she should hold him to it.

I think Ann made a good point, that there seems to be a misconception of the part of Michael, at least, that the ME is capable of having such a transforming effect on the environment that conflicts will become non existent. It is in areas like this where I think he sometimes has a problem separating fantasy from reality, hence my comment along those lines. I find myself wondering whether you (and Ann, since this dumb idea seems to have come from her) missed all those Maharishi lectures in which he said *very explicitly* that TM and ME would have such an effect on the environment that if enough people did them conflicts would become impossible. That was the whole *basis* of his "Age Of Enlightement" and "Dawning of Sat Yuga" talks. Duh. Maharishi and the TMO *did* claim -- in many, many talks and press releases and sales spiels pitching "Invincibility" -- that sufficient numbers of TM/ME practitioners would generate such a field of positivity and invincibility around them that no crime would be *possible* within it. So what happened *on the campus of MUM* -- well within the boundaries of this of this all-powerful field of Woo, and with surely "sufficient numbers" given the percentage of students, teachers, people on courses, and others on campus practicing both TM and the ME -- that made Maharishi's predictions and proclamations go blooey, and ended in a murder? Seems to me you can't have it both ways. To claim publicly that the ME *will* solve all problems by creating a field of Woo...uh...I mean coherence...so powerful that crime cannot exist, and then to say, "Oooopsie...we didn't really mean *all* crime when we said 'all crime'" Sounds to me as if someone was practicing the "fingers crossed" mudra. :-)
