Anything is possible. One thing is certain, in my exper- ience, *whatever* their incarnational pedigree, such petty tyrants are incapable of handling being laughed at or being embarrassed in public. As you can probably tell from my posts here, I was not the most "on the program" and tactful guy when I was in the TM movement. I didn't actually make that many waves, but the "wave" I'm most proud of also occurred at an ATR course in Switzerland. For a change, I'd gotten assigned a decent room. It was on the fourth floor, sunny, had its own bathroom. What is not to like? So it's about two weeks into the course and we get a new German course leader. He shows up, is assigned *his* room and, one can presume, doesn't like it much. The way I find *out* that he doesn't like his room much is that I go back to my *own* room after lunch and see my suitcases outside the door, with a note on them. In it, he informs me that he has moved into my room. I have been "reassigned" to the room that wasn't worthy of him, and he has taken the liberty of packing all of my things for me. He had the nerve to sign the note with "Jai Guru Dev." What he has forgotten is that I still have my key. I use it, open the door, and walk in. He's not there, but all of his stuff is. I gather it all up and throw it out the fourth-floor window. I don't bother to pack it, I just gather up heaps of clothes and books and toilet articles and just toss them out the window onto the lawn below. And then I move back into my room. Know what happened? Nothing. Nada. Rien. Nichevo. Bupkus. I never heard a WORD about it, either from the course leader himself or anyone else. Not a word. Petty tyrants are able to be tyrants only because people allow them to do so. Stand up to them, especially in a way that makes them look ridiculous or causes others to laugh at them, and they turn back into what they always were, timid little mice given power before they were mature enough to handle it.
