to follow the news reports posted here, it seems to me that we can discern a
few things about the "pundit project," how it is run, and what that says about
TM, the TMSP, and the TMO:
- First, and above all else, the MUM administration knows nothing at all about
what is happening inside the pundit compound. We can infer this from the fact
that they felt the need to plant non-Indian "spies" inside the compound to find
out.
- Second, I think we can infer from the above that everything is being run by
Girish & Co. and Maharishi's relatives in India, who rake in a hefty bundle
every year from the indentured servants they've managed to "place" in America.
And that the MUM/American TMO is not happy about that.
- Third, and possibly most damning, the MUM (and TMO) administration has so
little faith in its flagship product TM that it didn't believe that the pundits
were actually *practicing* it, and felt the need to plant "spies" to confirm
that they were meditating. What does this say about *their* belief in TM taking
advantage of the natural, spontaneous tendency of the mind to seek greater
fields of charm and bliss (which are supposedly provided by TM)?
- The MUM/TMO administration obviously feels that it has the basic right to
"discipline" human beings who work for the princely sum of $50 per month (with
*maybe* another $150 going to their families) to force them to practice TM and
do what they're told. They even issued a press release saying that more such
"discipline" is planned.
- The MUM/TMO administration, despite their business-as-usual spin, is fully
aware of how damning an incident this is. We can infer this from the fact that
the person handling all press releases and interviews is the organization's top
lawyer, not one of the top TMO shills like Hagelin, who is nominally in charge
of the project.
- The official policy of the TMO is *still* "quiet excommunication" for anyone
who doesn't do as he was told. Mishra refused to allow his buddies to be spied
upon, so the MUM/TMO's immediate reaction is to try to put him on a plane and
send him back to India. This is basically the *same* policy that has been in
place for decades, starting with quietly spiriting away anyone who freaked out
or attempted suicide on long TM courses in Europe. The policy cares nothing
about the person being spirited away, and is designed only to protect the PR
image of the TMO itself.
- This policy was about to be "enforced" without ever speaking to the pundits
themselves. We can infer this from Goldstein's admission of it in the
"discipline" press release. In other words, the peons *still* don't need to be
informed of any MUM/TMO decisions affecting them. Their job is just to accept
them and "toe the line."
- The practice of TM, the TMSP, and presumably the Woo Woo ME that is being
sold for big bucks to governments and individuals as a "cure" for
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) *obviously* does not have the ability to
"reduce stress" in any way. In this case, people whose *whole lives* revolve
around these activities, plus chanting the Vedas, are full of enough stress,
anger, and (yes) pent-up hatred to trash a police car. The whole PRODUCT LINE
being sold by the TMO is a sham.
- As predicted, TBs like Buck choose to ignore all of these lessons and
continue to believe in the fantasy sold to him years ago. Cue the Carl Sagan
quote I posted yesterday (see below). Once you've sold your mind to a
charlatan, it's hard to get it back.
- Nothing whatsoever has been said about the nature of the contract between
Girish & Co. and the pundits, the gist of which ("You have to work for your
full three years or your families get nothing") fits the legal definition of
"indentured servitude," which was declared illegal in America in the 1800s and
by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
- The notion that the barbed-wire fence enclosing the pundit compound is to
"keep other people out" has been proved to be false by comments made in the
press. It's OBVIOUSLY to keep the pundits in, and keep them from running away
(and potentially creating havoc).
- TM True Believers *still* have the ability to overlook any and all of this
and hold onto their faith in Maharishi and all of the products and lies he sold
them decades ago. Jai fucking guru dev.
