Thats an interesting thought. In the post below Maharishi is said to adress this in a private meeting. All of this is abviously written from what the poster remembered and are not direct quotes. Fascinating nevertheless. I have snipped parts of this since I think it is a mistake to share private instructions from Maharishi with others. "On that same course by the end Vera Meyer, wife of Siebelt Meyer, who later on overtook the Jyotish Section in the movement, suddenly stood in front of us and reported like a small girl, sent by his teacher, and with shivering voice (we all did not recognize her absence during the course): "Maharishi called me to Seelisberg directly from the course and personally on the phone. He said, you as a great engineer-lady from Germany should immediately come here, I have to tell you something very important. I went on clouds to Seelisberg, but when I reached there I got the lesson of my life. Maharishi assembled the whole staff, closed all doors and windows and came so near to us as he never used to do before. And then he seemed to be a completely different personality, like as if being totally normal and initimate and not as big and distant as he seems to appear before. He said: "First of all never listen to what people say, what I have said. My teachers and me are intimately connected with me on the level of our hearts. Whatever you want to know, you can clarify directly with me on this level. Second, I am surrounded by CIA and Communist-Security people to a very high extend. Do not worry too much about it. Don't get irritated and do your work independently ! Third, what you see here, all that golden stuff is also not according to my liking. But we have to keep the movement in a ridiculous outfit, that will make our enemies believe that we are harmless and stupid as to eradicate ourselves from within. And yet believe me, those people will join us who have the capacity think on the level of the heart. Fourth, I know that everyone of you has the intense desire for a personal master. But for the moment I am not able to fulfill this wish. I have to play my global game, until the time will come, when I will be showing my real face to the world. And the time will definitely come soon, when I will find space for you one by one. So now go ahead and continue your task." This also reminds me to some tape on my TTC in 1974, when someone asked Maharishi (it must have been in Fiuggi or so), what kind of consciousness avatars have. Maharishi stopped for a moment, and a lot of expectation was "hearable" in the room. Then the surprising answer came: "Work consciousness " !
