So that would mean that I send money, or go on courses? I don't do either. My donations for the last decade totalled $50 for the pundits in Fairfield project. Last course was in 1993, and I left early.:-) > > So you're saying that this time he actually means only a few more > months ... and that 10 years from now you won't still be making > excuses about how these things take time?? > I didn't say that at all. I've said before that the global indicators of the ME are elusive, and that they don't necessarily conform to the indices that the TMO has developed. The first step of an a of e according to all of the yogis I've heard is that more and more individuals will begin experiencing enlightenment on a permanent basis. And if you read the last missive from the TMO, MMY is saying keep the attention where it needs to be, on the Self. Looking at Maharishi's treatment of a coming Sat Yuga, he clearly will do whatever it takes to continue to infuse earth consciousness with TM and TMSP energy, even if that means stringing along us meditators for 30+ years. If he hadn't, you'd probably be complaining that he isn't doing enough to generate momentum for his vision. So either way he loses. Or either way he wins. Just comes down to what you think of his programs and how they are working for you. I personally am enjoying spectacular success with what I continue to learn and practice, so I am quietly supportive of Maharishi's vision. He has given me the tools that I need to have gained my eternal freedom, and that far surpasses all of my expectations for this lifetime. Doesn't mean there aren't still more pencils to sell, though, one at a time.:-)
