On the contrary, I descended to the valley many moons ago. I don't live in any airy fairy castle MJ. When I went to MIU there were some of the brightest minds in academia teaching there. It was a place of unusual and almost revolutionary educational principals and subject matter that attracted those who wanted a chance to integrate personal growth with learning. It was an exciting time back in the mid 80's at MIU. There were lots of professors from Yale, MIT, Harvard and there was not a sense of limiting student exposure to the knowledge of the world, including someone like Lynch; it was more about encompassing all these things within the context of SCI and TM. Why do you equate the work of David Lynch with war or non-peace? Do you see him as someone who incites others to violence and hate? Or is he someone who uses the medium of film to describe "his" world and his interpretation of his perceptions of the human race and their condition? Lynch is a recognized master of the art of making films. To see him as proof that MUM is hypocritical is short sighted, but I understand where you're coming from. However, you won't get me to agree with you on this one. The MA will be enriching for the participants and should make you feel better about MUM, not worse. It can be seen as an example of embracing something a little beyond Vedic honey commercials and Vastu architecture. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Ann <awoelflebater@...> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Saturday, August 3, 2013 8:26 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch: MA in FILM > > > > Â > > > --- In [email protected], turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], srijau@ <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > I think it is great that this is the present quality of > > > TM critic here hehe! > > > > We similarly believe that it's great that the quality > > of the TM True Believers on this forum is what it is. > > Aren't we talking about a film masters program that MUM is adding to their > curriculum?
