Peter, the Greys didn't pay attention to Charlie Lutz's warning to stay off the cigar shaped flying saucers. They had the crap scared out of them and the blood drained from their capillaries. My theory is that half the Greys have OCD. Having ritualized the routine of the TMS program, they feel controlled by it. The other half, are "Peter Pans" afraid to grow up and take risks in love and responsibility. Fear rules their lives. The Pinks knew better than to get on the flying saucers, don't feel controlled by the TMS program and have a healthy life balanced with rest and activity. They can fall in love at the drop of a hat with beauty, children, people, cats and dogs. Love rules their lives. They are fearless. What makes the difference between the Greys and the Pinks? Childhood experiences, perhaps. I have met Pink Purushas and some Greys. The Grey ones are straining to be on the program, yet they stay for years. In any case, other than a chicken sandwich, I can't judge what is best for anyone taking a run at "enlightenment." Whether ruled by fear or love, I just chalk it up to karma and as Maharishi has said, "Karma is unfathomable," so go figure. > --- On Wed, 4/29/09, Vaj <vajradh...@...> wrote: > > > From: Vaj <vajradh...@...> > > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Fry at MUM > > To: [email protected] > > Date: Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 5:44 PM > > On Apr 28, 2009, at 10:54 AM, Hugo wrote: > > > > > Early the next morning I watch the rush of studentry > > to the > > > main dome.
