Hello again Robin, I can't say get a grip of your understanding of how one can become enlightened and then undo that state. I goes against anything I've ever heard or read about the subject. But if that is your understanding, then who am I to say you are wrong. For me both Maharishi and Jesus are the "real thing". The difference is only that Jesus has been in this business longer and has therefore longer experience. If we speculate that Maharishi became enlightened only in this life, as he stated several times, and Jesus in his life, then Jesus has 2000 years advantage. That amounts to several incarnations in enlightened bodies. Therefore to say that Jesus is senior to Maharishi would be correct. Perhaps the work of Benjamin Creme would interest you. He states that Jesus and The Christ are two personalities, The Christ being the most senior soul, or Master, to take care of and help humanity. He also claims that Christ is now in incarnation with at least 13 of his close disciples, and has taken the name Maitreya. He created a mahaviruta body in the Himalayas and came to the west 2 years after Maharishi inaugurated the Age of Enlightenment. You will find many of Mr. Creme's writings here: http://www.shareintl.org/magazine/old_issues/2011/2011-07.htm As a closing remark I would thank you for bringing a civilized way of discussing complicated subjects to FFL ! Thank you and good luck to you !
