I was a "premie" 1975-90. I went to Essen, Germany, Florida (four times), Rome (at least five times), several times to England (London, Lingfield, Birmingham), Marbella, Spain, Paris, Helsinki. I went to the Palazzo del Sporte many times. This time in december 1990 I was also "behind the scenes" and was shocked at how grown-ups were acting - just like well-trained lap dogs! As if they were totally hypnotized by the guru! And I know I have acted that very same way towards an awful lot of people. One of my long-time friends (we knew each other since we were 13) came to meet me in Stockholm after many years abroad and was shocked by my behavior at that time - I acted like she was a complete stranger and only propagated annd tried to get her to come to satsang. She went home and cried because she thought she had lost me as a friend forever. This she told me years after, when we were talking and seeing each other again... I really don't know who is to blame... I did choose this myself... And then I chose to leave... Scary stuff!
