I think that is a great quality to have. Mature understanding takes shape often this way. Letting old stuff to come on the surface, looking at it from new angles, reshifting it.Questioning old understanding and explanations. > > > I remember the first governor who returned to my area.

The governers apparently got brainwashed this way during their training. I remember an episode from my first rounding together with these new governers and siddhas. We meditators got really treated like shit. We were not allowed to dine at the same table as the siddhas, actually not even in the same part of the dining room, because of our rough energies. They had made an own compartment for us meditators. However that all flopped, because some of the siddhas, who were our close friends felt uncomfortable with this arrangement, and decided to come to eat in our compartment. I suspect these types of idiotic practices came directly from Maharishi.He tried to create a caste system also into his organization. Even the low aspects of his cultural conditioning had started to surface. Earlier he had tried to at least superficially to adapt TM to the western values. The overall impact however was that truly many left TM-movement, including both meditators and siddhas. We westerners cannot easily accept a caste system. And this is not because we are so disoriented, and are energetically SO rough. It is because we have culturally evolved above accepting to categorize people in rigid castes or classes only because an authority figure says so. Irmeli
