This is ridiculous, Rick - I never said that :-) As you said, they had a nice career goping for themselves before they took contact with MMY. My proposition, which I didn't waste mine or any one else time on elaborating on (because I thought it would be evident), is that much of how the Beatles and it's members today are remembered is due to MMY's influence. If you don't "get this" I am not going to waste my time explaining it. If you want to understand it, start looking at how these four young men changed frmo their contact with MMY and the direction their creativity took after that, also after the Beatles broke up. Would Life of Brian ever have seen the light of day without MMY, for example? > 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. Having visited this group on and off for some time now I think the world just might have been a better place without the Beatles / MMY thing. I say because what I meet here are a collection of grumpy oldish people who project the failures they perceive in their own lives on some external factor totally unrelated to this failure. Why cling to this never-ending whining about the TMO? If you really don't like it, just "let it be". Or maybe you don't have anything else? ------------------------ Yahoo!
