Barry, I get that you are not into dialogue. That suits me fine. But do you realize how invested you are into a narrative that seeks to portray anyone who doesn't feel as you do, a "True Believer"?
For example, you have this notion that anyone's take on these questions, other than yours has surrendered all faculties of discrimination, and is, by default, a "True Believer" Anyway, that's your privilege, but you've become sort of the mirror image to someone like Nabby, in that you have this knee jerk reaction to find a justification for your conclusions even if they don't make a lot of sense. So, slow down, everything's still here just as you left it a few days ago, for King's Day. Nobody suffered by not having their buttons constantly pushed. You don't have to get frantic about it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : I repeat my first "take" on these quotes from Maharishi. Many of them are fuckin' Looney Toons. But to people who have been conditioned to see him as essentially perfect, they're perfect. And there is nothing that anyone can do or say that will convince them that *they're* not the sane ones, and that everyone else is *wrong*. In fact, because their egos get *larger* as a result of criticism, they'll believe even more strongly than they did before. It's just one of those mysteries of being human, I guess. Go figure. Go fuckin' figure.
