Great metaphor. It positions the experience of simple, uncluttered consciousness as something essential to life -- something to be widely available, with few barriers to obtaining it. Also, to counter my own point below, it's one thing to respond to requests for "more." It's another thing to make the "more" mandatory. I've had friends in Fairield who've felt oppressed by the TMO's insistence that (1) you absolutely must have this latest thing (amrit, gems, a new house) if you are to make anything of your time on earth, and (2) it's gonna cost ya. Utlimately, my friends just walked away. > --- Patrick Gillam wrote: > > Ii will say this: back in the day, there was a buzz > > among TM teachers that Maharishi had much more > > knowledge to share.
