Ann, maybe it's a fine line between admiration and being gaga over a charismatic person. As for which comes first, health or quiet charisma, I'd guess that good psychological health would be the foundation. On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 9:03 PM, awoelfleba...@yahoo.com awoelfleba...@yahoo.com

Thanks, Nablusoss, wonderful to hear Maharishi who's not at all charismatic. And I mean that as a great compliment. I think he doesn't have to be because he's speaking the plain truth. On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 2:22 AM, nablusoss1008 no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote:

Jeezus X-mas, Not at all Charismatic? You evidently did not get to spend much time around Maharishi. That's a pity. This is a good working definition of charismatic .. . Weber, in an oft quoted passage, defined charisma as a certain quality of an individual personality, by virtue of

Buck, when I think of charismatic I think of fire and brimstone preachers, etc. Maharishi spoke the plain truth and did not need such theatrics imo. He was a true leader in that sense. On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 6:20 AM, dhamiltony...@yahoo.com dhamiltony...@yahoo.com wrote:   Jeezus

Maharishi certainly didn't have to be charming to impress anyone. But anyone who met still commented on his charisma, not counting the dull or drugged-out of which we have a few experts here :-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sharelong60@... wrote : Thanks, Nablusoss, wonderful to

Yes that evidently goes back to the possible range of human behavior, including the NPD'ed. The so-called charismatic preacher could be a good example of that too. I feel Weber's more scholarly definition is better for our larger purposes of spiritual discussion here. It is more inclusive of
