People seem to like the TM school in Skelmersdale. I think the parents like it because of its reputation for good exam results and no trouble in the classrooms. I wonder how much of that is down to small class sizes but we'll see if it gets more popular.
I'd send my kids there but for one thing: All the crap they inadvertently get taught. I was staying with friends and there son, who was good at maths and wanted to study physics, was telling his parents that he got an 'A' in Jyotish. I was speechless that hey are allowed to teach bollocks like that - probably a form of child abuse, or should be - I couldn't help thinking he'd have a hard time at a proper university with a grounding in cosmology as dubious as that! I needn't have worried though as next time I saw him he'd rejected the whole TM mythos and is now decently educated elsewhere. To their credit his parents didn't make any fuss at all and respected his wishes to find his own path. Others keep believing it, I'd like to know how many stick with it. Don't suppose that finding out is a priority for the TMO. I don't even know if they are allowed to teach it in Skem anymore as its funded by the government now and ought to be teaching the national curriculum which is unlikely to include astrology or yagyas. Or even levitation. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: One never knows what will attract some people - I met a young man the other day who had just graduated high school and was all pumped up to go to MUM - he and his mother had done the visitors weekend and everything. I asked how he found out about TM and he said he was looking at some Beatles videos on youtube and there was an advertisement for MUM. He wanted a spiritually based education and so he checked it out. Needless to say after an hour of talking with me he and his mother decided to look elsewhere for a school for him. Score one for the Light Side of the Force!!! What surprised me a good deal was in the conversation I mentioned the rajas and they had never heard of them. Not once during the entire Visitors Weekend did they see or hear anything of the rajas, who they are, how much it cost them to become rajas, nothing. Now they know about them, though as well as a few other little tidbits. Altogether a satisfying conversation. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 2/3/14, salyavin808 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com mailto:no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Amanda Knox is Found Guilty Again To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, February 3, 2014, 4:35 PM FFL-UK. Yeah we could franchise it worldwide, I'd like to know what some of the people I met on international courses are doing now. It'd be a bit small scale in the UK though, I don't think it's grown much since I left. David Lynch does a lot over here and I know a few people I used to work with are now employed doing the same thing for him. How much of a draw Lynch is I cannot say, I always thought that you are either into meditation or you aren't and that no one would learn because some celeb does it. But maybe I'm a poor judge of human nature! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: Maybe you should start a FFL UK group and see what happens. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 2/3/14, salyavin808 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com mailto:no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Amanda Knox is Found Guilty Again To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, February 3, 2014, 4:11 PM Yes, the UK is fine. Bit wet in places but plodding along regardless. No TM news I'm afraid as I don't really see them any more. Shame as I do like the gossip, I have to read FFL to find out what's going on. Can't wait for the Girish court case, got a monster tub of popcorn for that one! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote: That is a standard TM-ish reply - Bad Salyavin!

Seems reasonable that you should be able to tell us what is going to happen next. Shame she has to rely on the "support of nature" though, it's probably a less reliable system than Italian justice! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote: Salyavin, One doesn't really need jyotish to figure out the possibilities in this case. Amanda Knox still can appeal the current verdict in Italy, which I believe can be reversed by pure logic alone. She can also appeal to the US government to deny the extradition request from Italy due to human rights violation. Further, if those alternatives don't work, she can sue the Italian judges at the Hague for human rights violation and apartheid. With all of these appeals, she can tie up any proceedings that would extradite her back to Italy. And it's also very clear that she will have challenging times ahead of her. But she has no choice but to fight for her rights. Given that she has several weaknesses in her chart, she needs the support of Nature to get her through this ordeal. She should start meditating, if she has not already done so.
