I don't think FFL is the addiction. I think insecurity and reinforcing what alleviates that insecurity is the addictive behaviour. Judy and Lawson suck up to one another like Jehovah's Witnesses reminding one another how right they are and how they must guard them selves against the evil world they are trying to convert. We see this is many forms of religious fanaticism. I don't think you'd have to bee too objective to see just how Mahesh plants the seeds of this in telling his people what to wear/eat/avoid/do ... Maybe the Rig Veda said Knowledge is structured in consciousness. If someone can find the exact Sanskrit it would be useful to look at real translations. Surely, however, Mahesh has made every endeavour to structure the behaviour of his people in a consciousness he himself has dictated. Very much a do as I say, not as I do kind of creature is our giggling guru.
