If that is the case, why do you write whiny-child "I'm a victim" crap like the following, which appears under your name on trancenet: On Promises & Lies Let's talk about promises: Maharishi promised to teach me a simple, effortless technique with absolutely no mental or physical side effects. He lied. MMY promised I would never need to learn another technique to realize all the benefits of TM. He lied. MMY promised that I would never have to learn a philosophy, join a religion, change my lifestyle, learn weird physical exercises, change my diet, and so forth. He lied. MMY promised me enlightenment in 5 to 7 years. He lied. MMY promised that as a teacher I would be representing the highest good that mankind has ever known and contribute to the enlightenment of mankind. He lied. MMY promised to teach me to fly. He lied. MMY promised me eternal life. He lied. MMY promised that if I continued to volunteer my labor for the good of the TM movement, all my material needs and desires would be fulfilled. He lied. In fact, he stole when he rescinded the thousands of dollars of TM course credit that I worked 70 hour weeks to earn as a "volunteer" at one of his numerous academies. MMY promised me that the puja and mantras I used to teach my family meditation were not religious in nature. He lied. MMY swore he represented an ancient teaching passed down from his Master and his Master before that. He lied. MMY promised to enlighten the world. He lied. MMY walked away with $3.5 billion dollars. I walked away with a fistful of character assasination. The score hardly seems even.
