ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the bagel, that is. Yes, Mahesh is absolutely nutso, biting the hand that fed him. I guess he has such a high opinion of himself (himself being, basically, a thief and malignant narcissist) that he has to manufacture those who are worthy of supporting him in the style to which he yearns to become accustomed.
I know it's not quite accurate to say he has contempt for others, because to do that's he'd actually have to care about someone other than himself, which he certainly doesn't. Yet, whatever it is he manifests towards what to me seems like "others" certainly looks like contempt. Yes, TM 2x20 was ok. But Mahesh was just clever, not insightful or knowledgable in any guru-type waay. He made it up as he went along using charm to beguile and manipulate others. He sold them what he learned from them and promised them things that he could easily see they wanted to believe. It began to fail, because he really wasn't offering anything of substance. So he took cheating others to a new level and called it A of E and Sighi and all kinds of crap that the movement no longer acknowledges and, unhappily, trancenet (now gone) no longer reminds us of.
