An old friend of mine (an ex-TM teacher) lives in Fairfield and does
not attend the TM functions (at their request, because he openly
hosted, Oh No!, other gurus at his home when they passed through
Fairfield. He enjoys the drama when they go through town. He still
thinks TM is good, however. He recently told me that among those
living there, many of the old-time TM teachers have turned to drugs
and alcohol. He said that many are addicted to pain killers or are
drunkards. He told me this very matter of factly, like it was normal
in any community in the US to have a large number of strung out
people, but I found it very strange, given MMY's teachings.
I know that when I visited him in Fairfield a few years ago and went
to see some Guru-passing-through type who was a "healer" of some
kind, there was a huge group of TMers who were active in the domes,
visiting the same guy, saying "shhh don't say you saw me
here".....Many many many of them had cancer and other horrible
diseases like debilitating arthritis. Most of them were between
25-50 years old. The "healer", who happened to be from India, said
he had never seen so much disease in such a small, condensed
population in his life.
It's nothing I haven't heard before. However I cannot vouch for how
much of it is true or whether or not it is an exaggeration.
