I clearly remember the very first time that it occurred to me that the Mo letteres were fabrications--actually it was Berg's own words.
It was called "Paper Power", and it contained phrases where Berg so much as admitted that He and Maria "worked on" the letters in such a way as they were essentially made up to a great degree; most likely because he sought his own glory!

And, as "Demystifying..." pointed to, Berg pretty much demystified himself and his "scribe". Maria was the nasty little beast of a powergrubbing monger all that time.

So, for me, it was "Paper Power", of all things, and then, months later, "Law of "Love" (or whatever letter it was that had the drawing of the woman on a cross with a nail in her vagina! (awful thing) that popped the bubble or "broke the spell" for me!

Anybody recall those letters?

Here's what (Re)search showed (selections from the letter):

"PAPER POWER"--MO February 10, 1974 NO.302A—DFO

4. IF I HAD WAITED FOR THAT TO DO WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN ANYTHING, absolutely nothing, and the Revolution would have gone to pot years ago and we'd be the forgotten men. Thank God for my one little encourager, God bless her.

5. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR MARIA YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN ANYTHING EITHER. She worked hard, I'll tell you. She worked hard to produce it, and she works hard every single day and makes me do my work.

6. FROM THE TIME I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING SHE HOUNDS ME WITH SCRIPT IN HAND, she shoves it into my hand on the toilet. She makes sure I've got pens and glasses, she follows me around with it from room to room. She shoves it in my lap again when I sit down in the chair, if haven't paid attention to it so far. She gives me sales talk, she begs me, she cries, she cajoles.

7. SHE DOES EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO TRY TO GET ME TO WORK on my work. She locks the door, she tries to protect me from other people. Then finally I take a look at it and maybe get a little bit interested.

8. BUT BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG, HARD JOB, I think of every stall I can think of and everything else I can do. I spend half an hour cleaning off my desk. I decide I better listen to the news or I figure maybe I ought to read the newspaper first.--Well I better read the mail first, or I cut my toenails or anything I can think of to try to keep from doing it.

9. ALL KINDS OF NICE LITTLE THINGS ARE SO MUCH EASIER to do, and I try to do every one of them first. But she just hounds me and hounds me and hounds me until she just practically crams it down my throat. She fights like mad to keep anything else from taking my time, almost to the point of offending me and others. Otherwise I would sit there and chat by the hour and have a nice little talk and a good time and let the rest of the world go to Hell.

10. SHE FIGHTS EVERYTHING OFF, fights with me, and does everything she can think of to try to get me to go to work on what I'm supposed to do. And finally when she sees it has actually caught my interest, and I begin to get a little absorbed in it, she will tiptoe around on feet of wool for fear she's going to make the slightest sound that might actually distract me and stop me from doing it.

11. WHEN SHE'S GOT ME ROLLING SHE IS JUST AS HAPPY AS A LARK. Then she'll tiptoe out of the room and type someplace else or do something else to try to keep me totally undisturbed and leave me alone once she's got me going.

63. WELL I WANT TO TELL YOU, THE WORLD HAS HEARD FROM ME and it has heard about me. The world has heard, and it will remember and it cannot forget, because it's on millions and millions of little pieces of paper in countries around the globe in a dozen different languages!

I still hate having to read that crap!

Sincerely,
OT2 (OldtimerToo)
