Howdy,

No major revelations related to the Knowledge / Maharaji scenario.  Some interesting internal breakthroughs, though.

Once I started thinking about that Yogi Bhajan story, a stream of very humorous recollections started coming, to the extent that I actually woke my wife up with my laughter thinking about one of them.  I tend to find so much humor in everyday life, but when the Maharaji culture was overlayed on mine, much of it became deliriously funny (mostly in retrospect, though).  Not all of it, of course, because along with the humor comes sadness and life's typical bad stuff as well.

Also, I think of the genuinely wonderful friends and interesting ( and funny) characters I met through the Maharaji phenomena.  However I slice and dice it, I just can't seem to view those years I spent in devotion as wasted and something to be bitter about.

Gotta run.

Mike
