Thanks again, Premie_Spouse.  And please do not ever feel like you have to apologize if something has been discussed before.  You're perspective is always of value.

And Premie_Spouse is correct - the warning language surrounding the DVDs screams CULT.

This is ridiculous.  For something that is really so simple (get your free meditation techniques right now here: http://drek.us/pages/knowledge_michio_kushi/ and you can be meditating within minutes) Maharaji, The GREAT TEACHER, makes it so damn complicated.

Interesting too is how when I got the meditation techniques back in 1973 Mahatma Guru Charand pressed my eyeballs harder than hell.  And years later Maharaji, the GREAT TEACHER, stopped that practice.  Wasn't Charanand a Mahatma under Shri Hans?  Wouldn't he know how to impart the techniques of Knowledge?

The reality is that meditation is simple.  It's too simple.  Anyone can do it and often you can feel the experience right away.  And the experience of meditation is truly within each person and no one needs to give it or even show it.  Just find some techniques and a quiet place, relax and see what happens.  And you won't owe anybody anything and you won't have to keep in touch.

It's the 'keeping in touch' and the requirement to watch all those damn KEYS DVDs where you begin to lose your soul and your mind to the endless circular babble of Maharaji that always points back at Maharaji.  You're going to be in big trouble if you listen to too much of Maharaji blathering on and on and on.  And that's why they suggest you limit yourself to 2 hours a day.  Imagine that.  There's something you should not expose yourself to more than two hours a day.  And we're not talking TV or sex or food or drinking or loud noises or noxious fumes or welding without goggles.  If you listen to more than 2 hours a day of Maharajism you're endangering your SANITY.

I mean, isn't that the craziest load of crap you've ever heard of?

Well, maybe not.  I remember when I tried to get Knowlege they made me listen to hours and hours of that SATSANG.  And in the end I became BRAINWASHED.

Ok, that was then and this is now.  You won't end up BRAINWASHED if you listen to too much of Maharaji on his DVDs, no!  No, you'll go INSANE because what he says never makes sense.  If you rev up your brain too much trying to make sense of old blathermouth you're going to FREAK OUT, GO CUCKOO!

I think one reason that 'they' are afraid of having more than one PAN in a household watching the KEYS is that one may 'get it' quicker than the other or one may not 'get it' at all and they'll just end up confusing each other and in the end if they're lucky they'll just both give it up, have dinner and a few drinks, have some sex, and fo'get about it!

Sheeeee-it.  There I go again being crass, facile, adolecent, and self absorbed again.
