Hi Rennie, I'm not sure if you know but your reply to John Brauns about Rawat (a/k/a Maharaji, a/k/a the Lord of the Universe) has triggered a whole lot of discussion. I must admit, mine was one of the first and angriest replies. But I believe that, as a man who still proudly thinks of himself as a "voice of his generation" -- and such an iconoclastic generation at that! -- you can take a little jostling, can't you? Have you read the replies? There's a bunch of them. The first thread starts here: and the newer one here: Someone rightly noted that, when Mike Dettmers first chimed in, he, too, was rather trite and smug about Rawat. Like you, Mike took the position that, although they'd gone their separate ways, he had no reason to fault his former guru. Shit happens, etc. It didn't take too long, however, before sincere, robust dialogue helped Mike grow past that pat defensiveness or guardedness or whatever you want to call it. Talking frankly with exes allowed Mike to open up a bit and truly explore and express much that had been suppressed about Rawat for decades. Let me ask you something, Rennie. Do you really think that you've honestly and openly come to terms with the whole Rawat charade that you were, for a moment in time, a very central player? I'm sorry, but your reply to John suggests that quite the opposite is true. You seem to hid behind a very convenient, not to mention suspect, new age dismissal of personal responsibility on anyone's part. Thus Rawat's just fine so long as he seems "charming and positive". And you're just fine too, I take it, so long as you do likewise? Rennie, look, no one's trying to blame you for anything big. We all know that we all had our parts, large and small, keeping that circus going. The same bug that got you, got us all. But school's out now, brother. We can talk honestly about all this, get real, share some real laughs and insights. Compare notes about some of all that was so suppressed and secret back in the Kabuki theatre known as "Maharaji's World". I'm inviting you to roll up your sleeves and mix it up a bit with the few people on earth who might even know what the hell you were talking about when you said:
Okay, that's a bit of a joke. But you get the point. Come over and talk with us. Agree, disagree, put up your dukes or take it on the chin. You won't regret it. In fact, if I understand your philosophy correctly, you can't regret it! So there's nothing to lose. And besides, we'd love to have you! Sincerely, Jim Heller P.S. You really are a bit of an asshole staying thin like that. How'd you do it?  |
