Sounds like an Indiana Jones scenario. Is Harrison Ford available? Never mind, I think the last I read is there is another Indiana Jones in the works but Harrison is too old to play the role. Remember the "Young Indiana Jones" TV series? They had an episode where Indiana hung out with a young Krishnamurti. They also had one where he met Ho Chi Minh as a young lawyer trying to get the League of Nations to expel the French from his country. Looks like we have some TB'ers trying to turn TM into a belief system with stories like these.
