Sure Barry, whatever you say. But, ain't it also a little strange, that someone is still so obsessed with a teacher they left 40 years ago, that they continue to write things about him everyday.
Where does that fit, in the "rabbit hole" spectrum.

I'll allow those who feel like going down that rabbit hole to do so. My only reply is to jamesalan735's comment that this blurb is "exactly as I remember Maharishi." I can't agree. The "tip off" for me that all of this is coming directly from George's imagination and has nothing whatsoever to do with Maharishi is that I don't remember Maharishi EVER speaking in a manner like this -- as if the TM teachers were his "family" and as if he cared about them. NEVER. Not even once. Having sat in rooms with him many times over many years, I don't remember him even once speaking this way, as if he honestly CARED about the people he had made TM teachers. The way he *treated* TM teachers was the exact opposite of caring about them -- his many decisions and pronouncements fucking them over and throwing them under the bus when they no longer served his purpose over the course of 50 years reveals, in fact, the exact opposite of what George fantasizes here. I have to believe that all of this -- and *especially* the parts about Maharishi feeling any emotion whatsoever about the people he made TM teachers -- is just George's fantasy. Whether conscious or subconscious, it's the sort of fantasy that children brought up by abusive parents come up with: "He *really* loved me, even though his actions don't seem to indicate that he did." Don't get me wrong -- there is *definitely* material enough for a dozen PhD theses in Psychology in George's raps in this document and others on the website. But in my honest opinion none of that material has much to do with Maharishi. This IMO is all stuff that came out of George's head -- fantasies that stoke the fires of his own self-importance and his need to feel he was "loved back" by Maharishi. I'm suggesting that the "tell" that all of this IS George's fantasy and has nothing to do with Maharishi -- living or dead -- is that it doesn't really seem to have anything to do with how Maharishi regarded his teachers and treated them when he was alive. IMO, this is all a fantasy based on how George *wishes* it had been. I don't mean to argue with jamesalan735's feelings to the contrary, but this rap really DOESN'T sound like Maharishi to me. If he can cite actual *examples* of Maharishi treating his TM teachers as if they were "family" or his "friends" and as if he actually cared about them, I'd love to hear about them.
