Well, I just got off of the phone with a premie who
called to notify me that MJ doesn't want premies to discuss
Knowledge on the Internet. It seems that there are presences
on the Net that are misleading and confusing some premies
and many aspirants. I am appalled that anyone would DO
that!!!
A few weeks back, I received some email at an old BBS
account that I had used to post to Harlan's site under a
different name. The emailer asked if he could call me on the
phone to speak to me, and asked for my phone number. Since
it wasn't going to be a collect call I figured 'Why not?',
and responded. So weeks went by and I forgot about it and
then I get this call from a different premie informing me of
MJ's preference regarding the Internet.
I pointed out that since MJ's stated mission is to take
Knowledge to the entire world, there would seem to be a
better chance of reaching that world via the Internet. I
also pointed out that I was only being contacted for the
first time in many many YEARS because I HAD posted onto the
Internet. 'Hmmm...', said the premie. The apparent
contridiction didn't slip past him, but he reassured me that
it is still MJ's expressed desire that premies NOT post.
'By the way, what happend to premie.com?', I asked. He
responded that Harlan had been in contact with one of MJ's
instructors a few weeks back. The instructor instructed him
about MJ's feelings regarding the Internet. Although this is
something that Harlan would already have been aware of (him
being a web-surfing fool like myself), he subsequently
decided to 'revise' his web page format to bring it in line
with the Master's wishes.
When I pressed to find out if MJ was personally responsible
for the decision to contact posting premies, he waffled here
repeatedly. First he claimed that it was an effort being
conducted by 'people around Maharaji'. When reminded of some
of the stupid edicts handed down by people around MJ in the
past, he hinted strongly that the effort was in line with
MJ's wishes. (More waffling. Does this sound familiar,
Deena?)
So, if you happen to be among the few premies posting to the
web (or sneaking looks!) who HAVEN'T been 'instructed' as to
MJ's wishes, I am hereby notifying you that you should
probably maybe perhaps cease and desist. But only 'if you
want'. And you do want, you know. He's gonna know just by
looking in your guilty eyes the next time you shell out good
money to kiss his feet. You'll be sorry. Turn off that
computer and get back to some wholesome videos! (By his
grace, of course...)
