Glad you enjoyed it. It wasn't really soft-core porn,
of course, merely a certain openness about sex and
nudity that was prevalent in 1452, done as naturally
onscreen as it was in person.

Did she write it? Fuck her.

It's not like you see one of Vermeer's paintings and
the title reads, Jann Leedenhoek the Dye Merchant's
'Girl With A Pearl Earring,' painted by Vermeer.  :-)

Maharishi tried to rip off a guy's talent and charisma, 
and the guy wised up and took both with him when he
left. End of story.

Bogus analogy.  In the first place, depending on the
subject of the painting, very often the person who
commissioned it was portrayed in it as an onlooker.

In the second place, to the extent that Vermeer 
wrote or spoke about this painting, he would most
certainly have mentioned the person who had
commissioned it; it would have been considered
churlish and ungrateful not to.

You mean, end of spin (for now).

MMY brought the ability to judge and the reputation to bring in notables, like 
Triguna.

 I enjoyed The Advocate: well acted, great script and story and, of 
 course, it had that soft-core porn element that characterized alot 
 of '70s films but didn't expect here.
 
 My big complaint about the movie didn't have to do with the movie 
 but with some stupidity that the executive producers -- Miramax -- 
 were responsible for (and I am otherwise a BIG fan of the 
 Weinstein's): at the beginning of the movie was a printed notice 
 that basically said: Critics, please refrain from revealing the 
 surprise ending to this movie.
 
 Well, I spent the whole movie wondering what little secret I should 
 be looking out for and, quite frankly, I lost my innocence in 
 watching and it somewhat ruined the movie for me.
 
 God and Buddha is really quite fine.  My admiration for Deepak 
 Chopra was renewed as a result of seeing it.  As he himself once 
 observed about himself: He has the gift of the gab.  He is, simply, 
 a great communicator...a faculty for explaining in a melodic and 
 soothing way abstract concepts in an interesting and educational way.
 
 Of course, virtually 90% of what he says comes from Maharishi.  This 
 is not a put-down, but an observation.  I just find it curious that 
 he uses MMY's exact phrasing of things.  He is basically a celebrity 
 TM teacher without the TM.


Who changes his books to eliminate all reference to MMY and TM.

If that's the Baba Rum Dum documentary then, yes, I've seen it and 
enjoyed it (although, as usual, I found Ram Das to be a complete

He must really be angry with the TMO and MMY to have done that.

I've always suspected the TMO *asked* him to do so, to
avoid any possible confusion about whether he's teaching
genyoowine TM under MMY's auspices.  I also suspect
Deepak would be quite happy to trade on MMY's name if he
could, but he doesn't want to get into a fight with the 
TMO, so he doesn't.

He certainly doesn't try to hide his past association
with MMY and the TMO, as we saw a while back with his
interview with that Indian paper about why the Beatles
supposedly left MMY's ashram.

Or something. He changed the book sufficiently that people get the idea that 
_Quantum 
Healing_ is about his  Quantum Sound meditation technique.
