Now you mention it, I remember when Glen came my city to tell us all community satsang had to stop. He did his loveable clumsy Uncle Glen act in his trademark V-neck red jersey and tie to the meeting, and everyone lapped it up.I went up to him later to talk in more detail, and he dropped the front and seemed to me a crafty apparatchik who had been delivering a set speech in which the audience had no proper place.
At that point my original remembrances of him standing with tears rolling in front of Maharaji on the stage at the POP as the most genuine bloke around hit the dust.
I mentioned this stuff a few months back here, and got panned by people who are posting very close to this thread.
I guess the truth is Glen is both things - a shrewd organisation man and survivor, but with shreds of conscience intermingled with his continuing image of Maharaji as the LOTU, or as some really special avatar or suchlike who still evokes final loyalty.
Some of the best people (personally speaking) I know who have posted on this forum have always had good things to say of him.
I guess at end of day he is probably that combination of survivor and populist who will always come through everything, come what may.
This sort of thing foxes most reasonable thinking people, but there is definitely a caste of people who fit that bill (maybe roughly known as politicians).
They aren't immune to reason and conscience in the long run, but they tend to jump loyalties at a point when their own interests aren't threatened and they can retain exactly their previous status and social position.
