You bring up a good point, Rick, the last one. However I am completely astonished that you would refer to others killing in the name of their perspective, that Turq thinks it is all an exercise in self aggrandizement and thought addiction, that Curtis instantly makes references to pornography when the idea is spoken about, that Vaj finds the opportunity to trash Maharishi every chance he gets, and all of this as a result of an opinion I expressed about Maharishi and Guru Dev being the catalysts for the spiritual regeneration of the world. I was careful to clarify that I didn't think that this put any of the rest of you down who didn't see it that way, that it was plainly the way I personally see it, and that the resulting spiritual efforts that others have made were accredited to those who produced them. What is up with each of you? I don't get it. You sound like a bunch of lunatics, with serious issues. And that's all I'm going to say.:- )
