Exactly. Thanks for posting this, Ruth.

I think that people (if you consider Judy 'people')
are reacting to the term 'Disorder.' It's a descrip-
tion of a known set of behaviors and beliefs, grouped
into a convenient category for describing a certain
type of human being.

IMO Maharishi Mahesh Yogi fits ALL of the criteria
above to a "T." IMO so does the other teacher I studied
with for a long time, Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz and a 
host of other popular gurus and teachers in the modern
world.

Exactly again. The people who think like this *might*
be right. It's just that most of the time they aren't.
