People who are insulted by Rick offering certain women's experiences with their gurus, but are not insulted by the guru's reported behavior strike me as value challenged...
Reporting what someone said to them about their experiences is far from gossip, and the jury is still out on whether it is fabrication isn't it? Trying to label it as gossip or fabrication when you don't have any direct knowledge is very TM movement, and wont work on people who have been around the block a bit. "gossipy, roumormonging female tendency" that was a loaded phrase wasn't it? It reveals the writers mistrust of women at the same time trying to use the old "you are a girly man" shaming argument as if this has worked on a dude since 1959. The biggest group of gossipers and rumormongers I ever met was when I lived with Purusha. Their inability to get along with women had as many causes as members. But there were plenty who took Shankara's lead and viewed women as a devious enemy, revealing their own social retardation. (not to be confused with calling them "retards") These posts are vain attempts to shoot the messenger for information that some of us find interesting and credible. It is a feeble attempt to attack the person because you have nothing to refute the statements of women who felt a betrayal of trust from an authority figure, and you feel no sympathy for the human dilemma they found themselves in. Just the ol' protect the king and kill anyone who speaks against him. Even if you have to slander all women to do it. Gotta prove that MMY never used his dick at ANY cost! Good luck with that mission guys. Slamming Rick for offering their experiences to interested people is a nice mirror for your attitudes. And when and if there are revelations that Ravi or Amma turn out to be just folks like you and me I doubt Rick will be any more surprised than I would be. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, off_world_beings <> > > The funny thing about Rick is when I knew him in Fairfield he came > > across as such a sweet, gentle, easy-going guy.
