Mitch may you wear the AB jersey well because it sure does fit you.

Mitch you've made a comeback with your new-ish webpage and webring after the debacle of your ill-fated "Please Consider This" website a few years ago.  I'm sure that you probably felt somewhat slighted for not being included in the Passages video, eh?

Your web-ring page starts off with the over the top and melodramatic and very self-indulgement and self-centered life and death story of you almost drowning ("going down for the third time") and being "swam" back to shore by the unseen hands of God.  I think you could have milked the story a little bit more by ending it before you got safely back to shore with a "Continued in Episode 37 of 212".

You know, I think what your webpage does is highlight how self-absorbed and self-centered premies are and how they need peak experiences in their life to give them meaning.  The whole thing about "enjoying life" gets twisted into self-centered peak moments where Maharaji looks at you in the darshan line or better still he mentions your name. And when you're not there in the physical presense of the Master you fabricate little adventures involving you and your "Imaginary Friend", Prem Rawat.

Mitch, life really is beautiful.  Sure, it has it's up and downs, but when you remove all the superlative B.S. that Maharaji shovels into premies heads life becomes less of a struggle to "stay in that experience of being inside your head" and more of just being there and being with it.  But that's too simple for premies because they've been conditioned by Maharajism to always be thinking about the grass being greener on the other side of the road.

Mitch, you're statement:

With great respect for your personal path and all the effort you are making to be free,

is what really won you the AB Jersey.  You say it like you're already there.  Where?  Free.  You're Free, Mitch.  And if you aren't free then you must be a prisoner and that is bad and that is "less than".

Little do aspirants know that getting involved with Maharaji does not make them free at all.  Getting involved with Maharaji is getting enslaved.
