Hi Richard,
yes and also the idea, that receiving the instructions from the guru protected
you conclusively from harm, is mythical. One can find on the internet
testimonials of nasty experiences while in a guru-disciple situation.

A very interesting idea. I had never before heard any positive spin on our
desensitization due to media exposure. Very, very interesting. The idea
certainly makes sense.
