yeah, I just remember feeling that this was all my records which they had for all the years I had been filling out forms, and sending them in: they were all there in that folder, which at the time, I believe were being kept in Switzerland, where Maharishi stayed mostly in those days... So, it just felt like you were carrying all of your past 'Karma' in that folder; Plus they told you not to look, which made it really dramatic... So, anyway, I just had a peak, to see it was just all my papers which I had filled out over the years; And, the guy who I was supposed to give the folder to; Like the guard at the gate, so to speak: Well, he acted like he knew I had peaked or something; Because I remember him either saying, or giving me a look, like: "What are You, doing here?" As if to say, I can see your not following the rules, So how did they let You in??? Really weird.. Think he had some kind of German accent, figures?
