************ MMY is well aware of the true state of affairs in the world, which is why he embraces and accedes to things that can't work. Why? He spelled out this policy back in the 60s, in a pamphlet entitled "The Divine Plan," the Divine Plan being to unfold enlightenment values gradually in order to avoid creating "fear and havoc" in an ignorant world: "When the objectivity [man's material life] overtakes subjectivity [the divine intelligence in man -- more from MMY on material/spiritual life at http://geocities.com/bbrigante/sevenstates.html#self ] completely then the only way left for the subjectivity is that it should gradually rise up in such a way that its regeneration does not in any way tend to overthrow the validity of material life. On the other hand, the manner of spiritual regeneration should be such that instead of creating fear and havoc to material life, the growing spiritual values should supplement and reinforce the values of material existence. This is the working policy of the Divine Plan. The Spiritual Regeneration Movement is carrying this out." If MMY were to employ responsible people instead of fat wankerish slobs like Bevan and the rest of the army of crackpots, and back plans that were actually viable, then the onset of enlightenment would be too rapid for the world to accommodate. You can (and will, I'm sure) deride this analysis, but it is one he made long ago and is a level of analysis that only one operating from the level of cosmic intelligence is capable of making.
