"So you had to have a special kind of paste before you went to go practice your Yogic Flying, and the paste cost, like, $150, and the Yogic Flying cost thousands of dollars to learn, and then your badge to get into the dome to practice the group meditation cost $100 a month."
"It cost thousands of dollars because Maharishi said that Americans don't value things unless they pay a lot of money for them."
