Hi Mark, Thanks so much for all your recent posts. They have really been a wonderful read and very insightful.
Since you had the opportunity to experience Maharishi in a way that most of us never did, I am wondering how you feel about Maharishi being a "master", and if you feel or felt that he was or is your personal master? Its an area that I have gone back and forth on many times throughout my life and still hold some confusion about. There is no question that TM has worked for me and that being around him was very powerful, but that doesn't necessarily mean he is in the league of a true master, particularly with all of the things that just don't make sense about him. Your insight would be most helpful 5'm sure if you don't mind.
