Thanks for posting that Ron. It reminds me of what attracted me to Maharishi in the first place. My own experience in `62 of seeing him after being carried up 6 flights of stairs by Count Blucher and Dick Britton-Foster after collapsing from my second kundalini awakening was similar in that I had to credit him with completely understanding my situation in one glance. All this makes what has become of the movement, the bizarre charade around him and the revelations about his behaviour on the FFL site all the more difficult to understand. Why?

Now that's living! Thanks for posting this!! I like the expression of the intellect turning inside out. Beautiful! --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ron F [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Newsgroups: alt.meditation.transcendental Subject: AEGTC, Switzerland 1976 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Williams) AEGTC, Switzerland 1976 By Jay Latham Never had I seen him respond so powerfully. It was as if the Hammer of God was slamming that table. He then exclaimed loudly, This is real wholeness! Jay Latham: Maharishi, these experiences I've had over the past six months have been glimpses of enlightenment for me. I had a tremendous awakening experience before I started TM, but due to the circumstances, I feel a little shy about telling it in the group. I then sent him a thought message that I would relate my experience and not the circumstances. Maharishi paused for a moment to think about what I'd just said. It'll be all right to tell it, he said finally, in a thoughtful sort of way. Maharishi, you've said that for every state of consciousness there is a separate, corresponding state of reality. Waking state has its reality, dream state has its reality, and deep sleep is another reality. Yes. You've taught us that transcendental consciousness is a fourth state of consciousness?a fourth reality that is the underlying reality of all life. Yes. And you've taught that cosmic consciousness is a higher state of reality, because one never loses consciousness of the transcendent even during waking, dreaming and sleeping. Yes. You've also said that God consciousness and unity consciousness are even deeper states of reality; so we have all these states of consciousness and all these states of corresponding realities. Maharishi said yes this time in a somewhat impatient way, as if to convey, Get to the point, where are you going with this? I'd been feeling an almighty power rise up inside of me as I asked Maharishi each one of these questions, because I was consciously setting him up to refute all that he had just said. I knew he knew the truth, but I wanted him to come out with it in a way he had never done before. It was time for us to stop playing around like little children at his feet, and elicit from him the real truth. A great rage suddenly ripped through my chest, burning the lie in my heart. I wanted Maharishi to kill it right then and there, for all time. Maharishi, in the experience of wholeness I had before I started TM, what you've just said that basically reality is different in different states of consciousness, is a total lie! What I experienced one night five years ago, is that there is only one reality, has always been one reality, and will forever be one reality! EVERYTHING ELSE IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL LIE! YES! YES! YES! Maharishi loudly proclaimed. With each YES, his fist came down on the table, Bang, Bang, Bang! Never had I seen him respond so powerfully. It was as if the Hammer of God was slamming that table. He then exclaimed loudly, This is real wholeness! I don't want to hear anything but experiences of real wholeness! Continue with your experience. What I discovered in my experience, Maharishi, was that the personality I know as Jay Latharn is a complete, fictitious lie. There is only one Being, God. Everything else, even the 'reality' of God consciousness, is an illusion. It's just like Shankara said. Now this is the real experience of wholeness! Maharishi proclaimed excitedly. What happened is that I had an experience in which I went through all of the states of consciousness. When I hit cosmic consciousness I closed my eyes to meditate and witnessed creation in the flow of soma out of the bindu point between my eyes. Everything shot out of that point, in stereo?whatever came out on the left came out on the right. I saw the mechanics of creation. It was the most amazing sight I ever saw. After that I started having celestial perception with my eyes open. I then briefly explained the major points of my experiencethe jewels I'd seen in the ceiling and how things were constructed of light rays created from God's mind?how I walked and moved through a cosmic plasma that erased the force of gravity, etc. Maharishi was paying close attention to what I was saying, and having his attention on me like this was like having God Almighty bum the lie right out of my heart. The longer I held his attention, the more enlightened I got. Yes, lie had closely followed rny progress for the past six months and given me a lot of attention, but this moment was the greatest I'd ever had with him. I continued relating to Maharishi the progressive stages of rny awakening; how I had felt the presence of God in everything and how everything I perceived became the artwork of the Creator (Maharishi's
