3-6-98 RASPUTIN

Credited by many with single-handedly bringing down the Russian aristocracy and being the devil incarnate, Rasputin remains one of our most interesting and mysterious historic figures.

Through the principles of The Art of Multi-Dimensional Living we know that Rasputin was a member of the caste group called outcastes. These people often live as gypsies, as did Rasputin, until his bold and charismatic nature drew the elite aristocracy of Russia under his influence.

Outcastes, by their nature are unconventional in attitude and approach. They resist traditional morality and ethics and naturally seek to purify stagnant, antiquated social customs and institutions.. When they find themselves in a circle of people whose life-style is highly traditional and conventional; then the outcaste cannot resist shaking things up. Unfortunately, such shakeups seldom happen without dire consequences for the outcaste instigator. Rasputin was shot and then drowned!
