I saw Charlie Lutes in California 30 years ago, and he said, "In the next year or two, they'll find Christ's rocket ship inside one of the pyramids." 20 years later I saw him in one of his last lectures in Iowa City (Cedar Rapids?) and I asked him about that rocket and why it hadn't been found yet. He said, "I never said any such thing." I quizzed him a bit more about aliens coming to earth and that we should go with the good looking ones -- not the lizard people. Again, "I never said anything about those subjects." That was the end of any fascination I had with Charlie Lutes. I always found the tension between SRM and the mainstream TM movement interesting. I was in the latter camp, although I went to see Charlie a few times. Charlie devotees believed he was expounding truths cognized or imparted to him by the White Brotherhood, and that he was undoubtedly in a higher state of consciousness because he had been meditating 15 years, or whatever. I always figured he was picking up most of his stuff by reading esoteric books. But I found him amusing, like the Weekly World News: http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/
