Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: On Maharishi Being a Thief

I think he is actually referring to the incredible overpricing of TMO services and products that drain people financially, some living from course to course on little but a shoe string. Others buy only TMO products instead of reasonably priced alternatives. In short, he is describing a sad form of victimization, spiritual materialism and price gouging. This has nothing to do whatsoever with St. John of the Cross' "dark night". ---Oddly though it is a material representation of the dark night wherein God (Maharishi) has up and left one to their own devices and lack because His mighty programs are too demanding.   I mean, honestly, I wanted to be a TM teacher, but 20,000 bucks to raise in four days. C'mon Lord, what you trying to do to me? I've literally never had a cent to call my own. I was a working class peon my whole life. I get it now, I really really do, because in the good book you said the humble and meek would inherit the earth. Yes, I get it, we get the shit that's left behind after you and the rich and powerful take off. What a real irony this turned out to be. You got me straight trippin Lord and Mahaguru.    But I ask in earnest the question of whether some think Maharishi is an avatar or even the Second Coming because c'mon Maharishi led people to supplant that theme in their minds by using the Heaven on Earth thing over and over and the proper term from the Bible is "New Heaven and New Earth." From Revs. Noone ever really said Heaven would descend to earth, but rather the divine would come on a cloud and people would get caught up in it (Revs). But I think maharishi really really played upon the mistaken notion that Jesus would come again to tie into a collective mythos, which is actually incorrect, theoretically. It's the Jews who believe in the Messiah and a Zion. Catholics do not. Fundies however, do, as well. Muslims do not. Maharishi is in his way a Baptist.  And I wonder if any of you who have Baptist thoughts or feelings even mixed the two and made a connection. I know there's at least two of you out there who think so so c'mon and tell.  To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
