I have a premie friend who's getting somewhat tired of the scene.  She let me know recently that she's being badgered by locals to go to these "keys" events, but apparently they are 4 hours long!  She has a busy life as a working single mother of two teenagers, and just can't see why these things have to be so long!

Well, well, well.  I knew that they've been having retreats and lengthy meetings about the "Keys."  It's either a pep rally or a re-education program since those keys came out.  The other thing that's been going on is that "special speakers," Yoram Weiss, Raja Ji, Charanand, and god knows who else, that's a famous inner circle premie are making the community rounds. 

If anything, I'd tell your friend to be confident that it's no one's business but her own if she attends Keys events or the Miami program.  So much pressure!

I can just hear it all that "PEP" too:

"This Knowledge is so precious -- it's a gift -- and only Maharaji knows how to give us this experience of Knowledge.  Maharaji gave up so much of himself for all the premies so that they can see him. (guilt, guilt, guilt).  He loves every premie so much and he wants to see everyone more and more and more.  You know?  These new Keys that Maharaji worked so hard for the premies to hear are the journey, his gift to us.  They are Maharaji's gift to everybody, not just premies -- everybody -- new people, aspirants, just everybody.  He wants everybody to know that he's coming to Miami soon, and it's not just going to be a regional program like before.  He wants to inspire every single premie  in the world who is able to attend.  And, here's a very special video that Maharaji entrusted to me to show you.  It's really a gift.  It's not being published anywhere and can't be purchased.  Maharaji made this special dvd with his love for humanity."

I wonder how close I am...
