I can believe he said it - my TM friend Bob who now lives in Kentucky was a big Charlie Lutes fan and went to as many of his talks as he could and he claims Charlie said some real off the wall stuff.
He is also quoted as having said that black folk can't transcend by the guy who wrote Secrets of the Mantras - but my buddy Bill had a phone conversation with Jerry Jarvis about 2 or 3 months ago and asked him about that and Jerry claimed Charlie never said that on the Rishikesh course. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 11/19/13, feste37 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] The Natural Law of Gettysburg To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, November 19, 2013, 4:08 PM If Charlie really said that, it must rank as one of his more idiotic comments. It doesn't really make any sense at all, other than the vague idea that "unity" must be a good thing. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <sharelong60@...> wrote: What powerful words from a beautiful soul. Thanks for posting, Buck. Years ago I heard through the grapevine that Charlie Lutes said the national deva lives at the Lincoln Memorial in DC. Because Lincoln preserved the unity of this country and unity is its destiny.

The great initiator, 150 years ago: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
