TM meditators were in the eyes of Maharishi lower than whale shit. I remember how low I was. Locked out of courses, couldn't see tapes, which tapes I can't understand why they need to be kept from the whale shit. Couldn't attend meetings, WPAs. It got down to a residence course a year offered at MIU if you were lucky. And the residence courses were offered for rising sidhas and as infomercials for the sidhis. So MUM can't have it both ways. There's no equation to factor meditators into the Dome numbers. The TMers don't count. Furthermore, when I go to the mens dorms, I don't see a single white face. Well, now there's one, an RA who's on IA. They are all mud people who came here because someone else was paying. These people don't give a shit for MUM, Fairfield, Iowa, the United States or TM. They came to get what they could because they couldn't join a pirate ship or score it big spending spam as a solicitor looking to smuggle money out of their countries. Arise, wretched of the earth Arise, convicts of hunger Reason thunders in its crater This is the eruption of the end Of the past let us wipe the slate clean Enslaved masses, arise, arise The world is about to change its foundation We are nothing, let us be all This is the final struggle Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race.
