I think it's worse for those of us who beat feet from the TM movement before it got this weird. I last had anything to do with it in 1978 or 79, before they'd even started doing butt-bouncing demos. No ayurveda, no tearing down buildings because the entrance faced the wrong way, none of that stuff. Just your "normal" cult weirdness, like kicking people out for living together while unmarried or for reading the "wrong" books. So when I found out about all this stuff about "King" Tony getting his weight in gold, and "Rajas" and gold crowns, it was really a mindboggler. I think sometimes that those who lasted long enough for that kinda stuff to have become commonplace don't understand just how weird it really is.
