Every song on the album. > I agree with your observations. I was just responding to Peter's assertion > that the Beatles would have been nothing without Maharishi's influence. That's rubbish of course. But even John Lennon said short before his death, that the two biggest influences on his life were Yoko, and MMY. But without him, he still would have been a very creative Superstar. > I > think one could argue the opposite: that none of us would have heard of > Maharishi, wouldn't have learned TM, and wouldn't have been having this > discussion because this forum wouldn't have existed without the Beatles' > influence. Surely the Beatles made MMY known to a larger audience. If none of us would have heard of him otherwise is something I simply do not know. The great wave of initiations came only in the early 70ies, 2 or 3 years after the split up of the Beatles. The involvement of the Beatles surely helped in the built up of this momentum, but I don't think that they can be exclusively credited for it. As it was known that the Beatles had taken to it, it was equally known that they had discarded it. When I started TM in 73, one of my schoolfriends warned me that it was a scam according to Lennon. I learned it nevertheless, luckily I must say in retrospect. I learned all about Sexy Sadie then already. ------------------------ Yahoo!
