It's a very precise phrase, and in my opinion an accurate one. I first encounter the young, still-thin Bevan Morris on my last TM course, a six-month stint of awesome boredom spent ostensibly learning how to fly (well, at the time that really *was* how it was advertised) in St. Moritz, Switzer- land. There was no real "course leader," but Bevan would show up from time to time to over- see things and "take reports" of "good exper- iences" to theoretically take back to Maharishi. I sat in a room with him one day and watched as he was talking with person after person who had such "good experiences" to report. And I noticed something fascinating, something that at the time I wasn't expecting. I noticed a prevailing emotion in Bevan as he listened, and in how he reacted. That emotion was JEALOUSY. The better the experience being related, the deeper Bevan's frown became. And the better the experience, the more likely he was to come up with the classic putdown phrase, "Oh that... that's just something good happening," and brush off the person reporting it. Everyone who ever heard that phrase knew that their experience or their question would *never* be reported to Maharishi. Two of the few books I had brought with me to that course were Carlos Castaneda's "Tales Of Power" and "Journey To Ixtlan." So it was fascinating to meet the "young Joe Stalin" while reading a few minutes every day don Juan's teachings about "petty tyrants." The thing about "petty tyrants" is that their prevailing emotion of JEALOUSY keeps them from ever having any truly lofty goals in life. All that they aspire to is becoming a better tyrant, to "keep ahead" of the people they're jealous of. And that was Bevan Morris in a nutshell. > --- In [email protected], "dhamiltony2k5" <dhamiltony2k5@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], nablusoss1008 <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "guyfawkes91" <guyfawkes91@> wrote: > > > > Few people have done more to bring about the destruction of the > > > > goodwill the TMO had in the 70s.
