I had wondered for years at what I saw as imperfections in the personalities of many *Governors of the Age of Enlightenment*, since they had been following Maharishi's instructions to the letter. Alarm bells were going off- I couldn't reconcile what he said with the apparent reality.
And also meditating away from my pain as you put it didn't work either. Sometimes I'd have a deep clear experience and feel stress free for awhile, but then find myself embroiled in this hideous version of the world I had created for myself, with no way out, save an expression Maharishi had used, "The world is as you are; live unbounded awareness." I believed that, thuogh I had no tools from Maharishi or the Movement to make the leap between where I was and that. So as Barry has put so well, I found a different perspective from Maharishi's and that worked quite nicely thank you.
