Too much silliness here not to make fun of. My apologies in advance to the True Believers.

Not only do Maharishi and the Rajas still believe in Santa Claus, they're convinced that they ARE Santa Claus. :-) > 2. 22 November 2007 Maharishi's broadcast: > > Having done complete justice to the teachings of his spiritual > Master, Shri Guru Dev, for over fifty years, which has changed > the destiny of the human race and secured invincibility for > every nation, Maharishi inaugurates Administration through > Silence, which he has defined as-'the most ideal adorable > system of administration which is spontaneously and all the > time conducted through the innumerable values of creativity > on the level of Veda.' One of the inherent problems with claiming that one is doing nothing and accomplishing everything, and at the same time asking for hefty donations from people and governments, is that the people you're begging from might catch on to the fact that you want them to pay you for doing nothing. > In an historic address on 22 November, MERU, Holland, Maharishi > disclosed to the First European Parliament of National Leaders > of the Global Country of World Peace... It is worth noting that this is a 'Parliament' for a country that does not exist. > ...that the supreme goals of his > Spiritual Regeneration Movement are fulfilled. "His" Spiritual Regeneration Movement? I beg your pardon. Wasn't Guru Dev the guy who told Maharishi to go meditate in a cave and who never once suggested that he was qualified to teach? But now it's "his" movement because Maharishi sez so? Yeah, right. > 'You are 192 Super(powers). When we say 'Super', then the > whole thing becomes unified. Let's ALL say it. "Super." "Super." "Super." Yup, I sure feel more unified now. :-) Interestingly, this seems to be the end point of a lifetime indulging in "magical thinking," and believing in the magical power of mantras. If you believe that some Sanskrit words have magical power, sooner or later you start to imagine that any word you choose to believe has magical power really does have magical power. > No more 192 countries, but one Global Country > administered by Total Administrative power, and Total Administrative > Power is in two sections-Total Knowledge and Total Activity.

Dude, I hate to break the news to you, but you have not yet spelled out in complete clarity how a bunch of people playing dress-up and talking about imaginary countries and imaginary "invincibility" has anything to do with *reality*, much less "the Veda." I *understand* that living in this fantasy world gives you pleasure, and that you've convinced enough easy marks that this fantasy is real that they give you millions of dollars to perpetuate it and allow them to play dress-up. But just as feedback, here's a short letter from one of your former teachers that you'll never read because even if I sent it to you, your handlers would never let you read it: Dear Maharishi, You don't have a "country." You don't have a "Parliament." Calling real-life countries "invincible" doesn't make them invincible. Calling twits wearing robes and crowns "Super" doesn't make them super. Or even less laughable. Silly costumes and absurd pronouncements do not impress 99% of people on this planet. They see them as what they are -- silly costumes and absurd pronouncements. Your contribution to this planet was synthesizing an easily-learned form of meditation from existing sources and marketing it such that it became popular. And then you pissed that all away with silliness like the above. I understand that you're pondering your own death and trying to pontificate about all the things you accom- plished while alive, but you're not really in charge of either how the world judges you or how karma judges you. Both are based solely on your actions. What you say about those actions has nothing to do with it. Respectfully, Unc P.S. We've heard this "retirement speech" before. You didn't "retire" and relinquish control then, and you won't now. It's just more speechifying and preaching to the converted.
