Very possibly, Geez. That was a cool mag. It was called "Self Discovery," and we printed and distributed half a million copies of it in L.A. for free, just for the fuck of it. The content consisted of nothing more than a few of the stories from "The Last Incarnation," a bunch of first-person, subjective-experience stories from his students at the time. It did not advertise any particular lecture, or course, or anything. It was just stories. But *first-person* stories, distributed free to people who had been involved with spiritual practices their whole lives, and who had never heard anything other than Other People's Stories, stories from way back in the past, or from far, far away, both in terms of time and geography. If it made an impression at all, it was because it was so fuckin' outrageous. That appealed to me then. The difference between me and a lot of the stick-in-the-mud TM TB's here is that it appeals to me still. Only slackers think that the cool spiritual stuff only happened in the past. The babe on the cover was the wife of a good friend of mine at the time. If you thought the photo was hot, you should have known the woman.
