I think you are both right, but Bunny is a little more right!

From memory, when I first posted I thought of myself as no longer a premie in the sense of being a member of any organisation centered around Maharaji. But I still thought that it was possible to practise Knowledge and 'have Maharaji in my life' as the embodiment of that power that could save me. Something like that.

The truth was that the first cracks in the Maharaji philosophy I had believed in and tried to live by for 30 years had appeared, and once those cracks appear it does not take long for the whole edifice to come crashing down.

I don't think it is that important what exactly a premie's status is during that short but painful period. I guess if I have to give a name to it, it would be 'transition premie' !!
