""In addition to trust, I think intimate relationships require a capacity for vulnerability - and my take on premiedom is that at a very basic level most longtime premies seek invulnerability from their involvement with Rawat. It's the antithesis to being in a relationship - it's a kind of induced autism - how could any marriage surive on that basis ?""I think that's it in a few well chosen words. The premie builds a wall around himself or herself and only rawat is allowed in, with the premie, of course. Everybody else has to stay outside. Only inside the wall is the premie 'safe'. Everything and everyone outside the wall is somehow suspect, or certainly to be kept at arm's length. I don't know why that is, only that it is. Your final question is mine: "how could any marriage surive on that basis?"
