Happened to watch snippets of two programmes tonight - rather disturbing. First MMY tape, quite an early one, on M channel, around 18:40 GMT. Some quotes will give the flavour: " funnily enough, this is the story of love; no-one loves anybody; all currents of love directed by self, for self, to self; feeding of self is what is dear, expansion of self is only what is dear" etc. At end talked about self expanding to Self, which seems OK but this is rather a limited view. Throughout nature from cellular, organ, organism and social levels there is evidence of co-operation, altruism & selflessness (more Self than self perhaps but nevertheless..). A psychpath, according to MMY's criteria, would be more enlightened than a Ghandi? Surely not.
The other was a TV report on Voodism in Benin - how poor families are having to sell their children to pay for expensive Voodoo rituals to rectify bad "aspects" etc. Kind of exploitation that could easily result, in future, with the likes of Yagyas & Jyotish etc. So was reminded of my general unease about TMO's tendencies towards fundamentalism where common sense and compassion and fairness have become such secondary concerns. Doesn't augur well for future TM Voodoo generations...
