There was only one extra seat in the Maharishi’s helicopter and John Lennon more than the other Beatles was insistent on getting the spot.
When Paul asked John why…John said “To tell you the truth, I thought he might slip me the answer”.
(That story is from one of the anthology dvds. If you haven’t, go watch all of them)
It’s a funny story especially when Paul tells it…even though John knew the Maharishi wasn’t going to slip him the answer, there was that part of him that was really hoping he would.
The quick fix, the life hacks, the short cuts, the tweaks on the morning routine.
Podcasts and blogs and videos and interviews and articles and podcasts and more podcasts are great. But more and more I get the sense that too many of us are John Lennon hoping for a helicopter ride and the answer.
***It all has its place and purpose. Don’t over state the purpose. It’s tempting, but don’t.
I’m sure the helicopter ride was great…Revolution 9 is better.
