Nabs, What did the healer do and did it work?

Of course this dictator didn't last very long once he got Maharishi's attention. He fled the country with a fatal disease, as did The Shah only weeks after we arrived in Teheran. But they both bowed out graciously and left their nations without resistance on the outer planes, which of course was a huge and expected victory for Maharishi and the Movement. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Yep, Sangley Point - used to take the launch across Manila Bay to shop at the PX there. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : I have a friend who has been doing TM for many years - he lived in the Philippines in the 60's - said he lived on Sangley point and went to John Paul Jones High school. His old man was an admiral in the US Navy and by coincidence they were Catholic and real good friends with the infamous Cardinal Sin, the one who used to crack on TM. Bill said they often visited the Cardinal at his home who would always answer the door himself with a big smile and the words "Welcome the house of Sin!" -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 3/11/14, doctordumbass@... mailto:doctordumbass@... <doctordumbass@... mailto:doctordumbass@...> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Kim Jong Un Wins by Unanimous Vote To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2014, 4:56 AM It must be disheartening to see what has happened in the Philippines, the further consolidation of power, and rise of discord. Though, even when I was there (Pres. Marcos years), a group of religious fanatics came to Manila, from the provinces, and began an uprising, with the mistaken belief that the magic amulets they wore around their necks, would save them from any bullets fired their way. I think most of the violence occurred around Taft Avenue, with the US Embassy on Rojas Boulevard also attacked. Aside from this bizarre incident, the greatest threat to the government back then, were the communist-backed Hukbalahap, or Huks, though they were not that active. No problems with Muslims, at that time. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : Doc, Since you were there yourself, you can understand generally what I'm saying. But I believe nobody really knows how the country is going to evolve in the future. The political dynamics of the country are very confusing and it's a miracle there hasn't been a violent revolution to wipe out the present regime. Yes, my family came from there and left the country in 1963 to live here in the US. I have not always been critical about the Philippines until I recently experienced the realities of life there when I recently went back in 2006 for a visit. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com mailto:no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Interesting stuff, though I think political evolution has more to do with the Philippines' corruption. Whenever a country is occupied, the occupiers build relationships with the most powerful families in the country. Then, when independence is gained, guess who leads the government? The Philippines has never had much of a middle class, either, making the divide between the powerful and the common people, much larger than here. I recall you are from there? I lived there 1966-1969, outside Manila, near Quezon City. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : I did the national chart of the Philippines, which gained its independence from the USA on July 4, 1946. The chart shows why the government is corrupt. Specifically, Rahu is exalted in the 9th house, the significator for the seat of government. While there is a hope of the country for being knowledgeable in high technology, it is still mired in the unfortunate corruption of its government officials. It's also interesting to note that Rahu represents the adopted religion of the country which is Catholicism, a faith that was not indigenous to the country, but was brought in by the Spaniards in 1521. And, the religion is still very powerful in the country today. Essentially, the Vatican has much influence in shaping the thinking of the people.
