When I was on staff at Cobb (1980), we had a lot of CP's (course
participants)who had great truly experiences - others not so much.
Sometimes we would have group meetings where individuals would share their
experiences.
On one occasion a CP proudly proclaimed they could see stars through the

Thanks to Barry for initiating this thread, I have been enjoying
everyone's experiences on this thread. Being a lover of Osho and his
discourses which always ended with profane, irreverent jokes, I always
have a blast myself. Unlike my online persona here I always mock myself

Trying to think if I had any interesting experiences in the initiation
room. Really none that I can think of. I did initiate a guy with the
last name Finer during the Washington campaign. We both got a kick
about my continued talk about the mantra becoming "finer"

I had a guy show up for initiation smelling of alcohol and probably drunk. I
wasn't sure if he was sober enough to be initiated but I initiated him. He came
for the first night of checking smelling of alcohol. I asked him to see me
after the meeting and he ducked out. Never saw him again. Poor b
I am sorry I offended you. Both MMY and GD transformed my life in ways I never
could have imagined, indeed brought me back to life in many ways. All I can
offer is that I have enjoyed irreverent humor all of my life, and probably
always will.:-)

Hi Nablusos, You know that expectation we all have when someone starts to say
something, and then we finish the phrase in our minds, and they say something
else instead? That is why both of these things tickle me. I mean no disrespect

I remember back in the day, during the Merv wave, a lot
of initiations were taking place. One Saturday evening,
after the last person was initiated and left to meditate, those who were
involved...teachers, helpers, etc., decided to go out to dinner.
Unfortunately they forgot about the last initi
Two of the jokes on standard TM speak I enjoyed the most:
Instead of saying, "Jai Guru Dev" at the conclusion of group meditation,
saying, "Jai Edgar Hoover".
Also, back when MUM was called MIU, I enjoyed calling it the "Maharishi
International House Of Pancakes", or MI-HOP.:-)

Well, the funniest 'TMO Puja' story' for me
actually happened on the a.m.t Google Group.
Everyone knows that the TM puja ingredients
consist of water, sandalwood powder, camphor,
fruit, flowers, and a white hankie.
Hahahahaha! Those are great! Thanks for sharing!
