Really? It seems to me the ones who post most here are the virulent
anti-TM/TMO/MMY posters coupled with those who feel compelled to spar
with them.

Barry reminds one of the story—don't know where it's from; maybe some
of you know it—about the village where there was a Shiva shrine in a
clearing in the forest nearby and the villagers would stop by every
day with prayers and offerings, all except this one guy who hated
Shiva and he'd still stop by every day but to kick and curse the
statue and who knows maybe even do other despicable things to it. And
he would do this rain or shine, early or late; no matter how tired he
was from working in the his fields, he always had time to kick that
statue. 

One year when the monsoons were particularly strong everything was
flooded and just mud, creeks and rivers overflowing their banks and
all the villagers just stayed in—except for this one guy who waded
through mud and water and snakes and whatever else to go and kick the
Shiva statue even when just the head remained out of the water.

One day, after the floods and the rain when the seasons were back to
normal Shiva appeared to the guy, who was to say the least very
surprised, and offered him whatever boon he wished. The guy was
shocked saying—What do you mean? I hate you. I come every day to kick
you and curse you.

And Shiva said—You are my most devoted follower. During the floods and
the rain the others deserted me and turned their backs on me, but you
were the most loyal, never missing a day.

It makes me think that one day maybe, before or after MMY's  passing,
who knows, Maheshvara himself might appear to Barry and praise him for
his one-pointed devotion of the past 25?? 30?? years, however long
it's been, and give him this great great boon, praising his
single-minded one pointedness and devotion of TMO bashing, Barry would
see that because of this deep love in his heart he really had *no
choice* except to worship except he *did* have a choice and that was
in how HE CHOSE to do it—and take that!-- as he gives one final kick
at the can so to speak, before realizing it is all just another
attachment and melting in a pool of bliss.

And then Judy as Shiva's supreme consort would join Maheshvara in an
oh-so-juicy embrace and they would dance the highly erotic
Transcendental Tango, moving on to the Jig Is Up Jig with the
soundtrack provided by the reunited Beatles—corporeal and
non-corporeal—singing Oh-Bla-Di-Oh-Bla-Da, dressed in psychedelic
raiment and wearing Groucho Marx funny nose glasses as the remnants of
Barry's finally disappearing I screams—You suck, and you never were
creative; it was all George Martin and Donovan is the only true
transcendental troubadour!

And then in the throws of passion Judy/Pavarti/Kali and Maheshvara
would reveal the great secret—that thousands of years ago they had an
affair which produced a child and the bloodline has been protected
down through the ages and that is the true meaning of the vedic
tradition, protection of the sacred blood line and today that
bloodline resides—where else?—but in RAJA Sparaig! The Raja of
Virility whose domain is the fornicating flesh of nubile nymphs eager
to experience ecstatic quantum coupling with a descendent of the divine.

And as the Brahman's two doctors mop up the melted pool of Barry's
individuality, Dan Brown writes a book about it all which becomes a
best seller, and a moovie. Then Vaj comes rushing in shouting—No, it's
all a fraud! What about the lineage? Barry cannot be enlightened!
before he takes twelve steps backwards and dies at the side of the
road into his own buddhahood.

And they all live happily-never-after!
