Much though the power structure hates it, Jerry was the voice of sanity for a lot of us and so it isn't like Charley Lutes (may the Lord of the universe, the local universe that is...rest his wacky soul) is supporting this guy. So right on the heels of Maharishi's death bringing the movement together and inviting guys like Jerry back to the fold, they have to turn around and show him the door again! I would feel sorry for the guy but I think he is used to it by now and has been thrown out of movements by a lot more impressive dudes than John. (I'm talking to you pre-disembodied MMY!) If he is now dismissing Jerry as a crank too, what does this say about his faith in Maharishi's masterhoodednessintudiment? If he couldn't put Jerry in a state beyond being hoodwinked where does that leave the rank and file dozing in the dome person? Kinda screwed I'd say. Treating Jerry like a drunk uncle late on Thanksgiving night is a huge blow to the whole premise of the thing. I need to do some research in the archives about after Maharishi's death when Beven and others were saying some crazy stuff about where Maharishi was now. I think it would be interesting to spell out the movement beliefs about Maharishi after death. I'm gunna have to hold my own biases in check a bit and see if I can do justice to something, which if true, would put a nice size 14 wingtip shoe up the ass of my own perspective on how life works. But I can't pretend that my first reaction is not to just assume that Jerry has been fooled as many before him by a language form used by all good psychics that cleverly lets him fill in the details and feel as if they have been revealed to him. And that doesn't mean that George is being insincere either. They could both be in what the French call a Fole a deux, the madness two people can generate together.(Think Kim and Kanye) But without knowing what it is that has turned Jerry's head around on what seems implausible, I have to admit that I can't know yet what is up with this. It is just one of those delightfully disruptive events to many people's world view that has to unfold in its time. See, everyone likes a mystery. And just think: there are two months still to go to anticipate all sorts of fun at the circu, er, I mean group gathering with George.
