One more time: You'd be well advised to take the new year as an opportunity to work on living in reality rather than in your fantasy world. Start with this, please: I *have* no "stature" within the TM movement, never did, never wanted to be a "player." I've always thought, and said, many times, that the movement sucked big-time. You know this, but you've blocked it out in favor of your fantasies about me, because they make it possible for you to feel superior. Why the reality should make you feel so *inferior* that you have to create an alternate reality in your own mind, I don't know, but it's one of the many things you need to explore and deal with. Once you accept reality as it is, rather than the way you'd like it to be, you'll be much happier, I guarantee it. Life will become a lot simpler, and you'll be much more relaxed and productive; all that energy and angst that's tied up in creating and maintaining your fantasy world will be available for things that really matter. And that's my "clarification gift" for *you* this new year. Try it on for size. It'll be tough at first, but the ultimate rewards will be greater than you can imagine.
