An interesting parallel to the thousands who, unlike some who found Maharishi's talks brilliant and incisive, moved on to some other teacher who didn't recycle the same mind-pablum ad absurdum. Interestingly enough, the ones who never tired of Maharishi saying the same old things are the ones who still claim to find the "TM science" believable. It's just like kids, in a way. Some like to hear the same old bedtime stories read to them over and over and over. Others edit the same old stories and try to find new ways to tell them and new ways to sell them and think of that as being "creative." Yet others grow up to write their own stories. Call me silly, but I'm going to reserve the word "creative" for those who actually create something new.
