Hi MC!  Sorry--I don't think I was all that clear in my post.  I really wanted to talk about Rawat's abuse of power, and how this whole thing became (if it didn't start that way) a terrible highjacking of our personal power.  I was in it for 21 years, so of course I have been asking myself how I got into it--but more importantly why I didn't see through it sooner!  I wasn't looking for power either--perhaps "truth" or even "self-knowledge" would be closer to what I hoped to find.

Look forward to hearing more of your story.

Cheers,

Shelagh
