But it just doesn't feel accurate to me. It seems like given the depth of knowledge that Maharishi has taught, and I'm just referring to the stuff I know firsthand, like TM and TM-Sidhis, that corruption would creep into the practice if he were not pure in his intentions. And that I would notice, and drop it. That has been my experience generally in life- personally, socially, economically and spiritually.
I have never met Maharishi in the flesh, and didn't get all sold out to him- the ignorance in the TMO delightfully prevented me, every time I approached such a step. So I have not experienced 'the death of my Messiah' directly as have others here. I also have had a fundamental perspective on Self realization that through my own knowledge and surrender this would be achieved, not through someone else. As for the world becoming enlightened, that remains an engaging and wondrous game, as I have come to realize that the world and my Self are one and the same. ------------------------ Yahoo!
