 It appears many comments about crazy days, crazy projects, strange

 thinking if we are trying to accomplish X -- this is NOT the way to do it.
 Or, alternatively, why the hell are we doing project X. There are other
 perspectives. Some may be closer to what MMY was actually doing.

 I'll state a perspective, not THE perspective, simply -- without the
 nuances. The World Plan, Heaven on Earth, MIU, big projects, unconventional
 behavior, etc were not about such initiatives. They were simply tools for
 MMY to help us break our boundaries.

 Do you think conventional projects, plans and implementation are going to
 break boundaries? No, they generally confirm the status quo. On the other
 hand, crazy, outlandish, odd, squirmish projects were just that because we
 had inner attachments, ego issues, projections, assumptions about how things
 should be and what is normal, etc. Huge and or crazy projects, often both
 were a set of tools that MMY used to break these internal boundaries.

 The outer fruits of the actions were up to nature -- and not the focus.


 OH MY GOD!  So that's what it was!  I've been searching all these years for
just this answer.  .  My life is now complete.  Thank you, Tart.

I give up~~who.
Why do I almost constantly get a vague feeling of
lecturing the ignorant masses~~a la Jim, just with
slightly less of a condescending tone~~from your
posts, tart? Maybe it's me.

And the ultimate boundary breaker - his sexual affairs. Actually, he hated
sex. But he made a great sacrifice, knowing that someday, the whole thing
would go public and break boundaries big time.

If you don't like that theory, how about this?: both the affairs and the
whacky projects were symptomatic of a brilliant, highly-evolved man who may
not have been as fully enlightened as he thought he was, and whose
unresolved issues threw him off course.
