I have to agree with Curtis here. If not escorted from the room, you are certainly never welcomed back to it. Feedback that is not of the "I agree with you completely, Maharishi" was often perceived as disrespectful and a direct challenge to his authority. Another related issue is that people often take what a teacher says out of context. A statement is made in a particular room in a particular situation to a particular person and in front of a particular audience, and some people want to interpret that statement as universally true for all rooms, situations, people and audiences. Big mistake. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.
