Oh, I so beg to disagree with you there. I'm far too tired and disillusioned
and stereotypical American to travel to India to pay $16,000 to stay and work
for free in an Ashram in the name of God incarnate.
I'm just parsing it out and acknowledging what I enjoyed. For example, I
enjoyed that the tribe made some pretty good food and that I didn't have to
cook. After all, I laid down a cool $700 for me and the kids for 3 days at a
lovely hotel (plus expenses, like books, dolls, CD's, clothing, flowers,
chocolate, and chai tea lattes). It was worth every penny.
There is duality in everything, as Mooji would say :)

Sounds like the Amma experience is becoming like a slow poison taking hold.
Only posion is the wrong word. Maybe more like a like drip necter that is
slowly changing that whole experience for you. From an initial strong aversion,
to a "maybe I was too harsh in my original assessment" to a "I'm missing the
bliss and relaxation" Based on other cases I've seen, I estimate you'll be an
ashram resident in 4-6 months. (-:
