Speaking directly to the "Buck" persona, what would he answer to the question, "Has it ever occurred to you that adherence to these policies is, in fact, a ploy to keep the 'Dome numbers' *down*, a way of making sure that the 'right numbers' are never reached, and that the 'Maharishi Effect' is thus never put to the test?" The former Big Donor who left the TMO so noisily (whose name I almost forget but now seem to remember as Kaplan) suggested in his parting shot letter that Maharishi himself suggested this to him. Why would the Rajas think any differently? How would a Fairfield METB deal with such questions? *Would* they deal with such questions? I'm genuinely curious. I've been chided here for assuming things, and never asking. Well, I'm asking. Color me not convinced that many of these people making these urgent pleas for more BBs For Peace actually want more BBs For Peace. Based on seeing him speak at the "Watershed Meeting," I am convinced that Mr. Settle wants that. But I also came away from watching that stream feeling that he suspects the same thing I do above. Do the "people in charge" ever want to *emerge* from the tunnel? Or do they want to keep the tunnel ride going on forever? What do the folks at ground zero think about all of these machinations, Buck? What do they think is behind the whole "Dome policy" thang, and what do they think its intent is? Genuinely curious.
