C'mon, Nabby - surely Maitreya has told Benjy what he's gonna do with the
non-faithful when he comes to power - if you think he's real and he's the
living God why are you afraid to tell is what is gonna happen to us? I repeat
my question: Tell us Nabster, what is gonna happen to folks like me and Barry,
Curtis, everyone who ever reviled Marshy and Creme himself when the Big M, in
this case Maitreya, actually shows himself and takes over the world? Eh, what
is he gonna do with us spiritual hooligans?
And I did get help, that's how I quit doing TM.

Hey Nabby, why are you so down on Buddhists? A
few sects of this tradition still produces
'enlightenment', though as with all traditions,
there do not seem to be a lot of successes in this
department. It does not seem to me that Turq is party to
any
tradition these days. And, for example, what does Benjamin
Creme have to do with enlightenment? Has he gotten you
closer to that goal? It seems these days that
'traditions' are going downhill in that the pursuit
of spiritual values is taking on a more personal kind of
search, and a more secular kind of search for the
world's population as a whole, and the more medieval
pockets of spirituality, the Christian fundies and Muslim
fundies, for example, are actually becoming more isolated
in
this wash of change. Agnosticism and atheism are on the
rise
as well as religious persons becoming more non
affiliated.
From what I have heard locally, TM
initiations have improved due to time payment plans and
scholarships. The movement has been forced to change its
monetary models, otherwise it will disappear. Religions,
once the initial cult phase is over generally switch to a
donation model once the charms of the leader no longer are
relevant. This requires future generations of TBs to be
programmed to feel this is a valuable thing to do. Also
payment for 'special services' also comes into the
picture from time to time.
Religious organisations can be in a
bind, because in order to preserve their special legacy,
they are inhibited from being really creative and coming up
with new stuff and new ways to say the same old thing, they
tend to say it in the same old way, so unlike a business,
they cannot survive on creativity. So models like automatic
tithing etc., have to be programmed into the population.
This also reduces creativity if it is successful because
now
the leaders do not have to think intelligently or
creatively
to maintain the organisation, if they can achieve a regular
cash flow in this way.
The big problem is keeping the
population in the fold, because if enlightenment works, the
person is freed from the whole illusion of tradition from
which the experience supposedly came, but actually did not.
Thus the survival of the organisation ultimately depends on
its main benefit becoming scarcer and scarcer as time goes
on. Instead of success, people are kept indefinitely in
anticipation of success.

MJ isn't the
only loser who struggle with their success these days.
When the Turq, in one of his usual rants against the TMO
demanded to know how low the Initiations are these days it
turned out that their income for 2012 was $ 47,8 million.
Since this was published here we haven't heard a word
about the matter from the Turq. Perhaps his Buddhist
Overlords have convinced him to lay low for a while.

You''ve always got
it figured out Michael. Doesn't matter how many
twists and turns you have to make, the conclusion is always
the same. So what if the TMO has adjusted their
message, or their pitch? That's what
organizations
do. Maybe the problem you're having is that they
seem to be having some success. Let's face it,
that's wall galls you. And really, I don't
think you're ashamed to admit it.

You
are both full of it - the TMO is attempting to tap into a
new tier of customers and they are doing it in part to
distance themselves from the Old Goat because they know he
has become a liability. I know what you are saying, as to
M's references to the Self, but they have never done an
ad campaign like this - everything they do is a calculated
move to gain adherents, money and like the idiots they are,
create a "vedic" society.

Er, Michael,
more likely the New Age got "It's all the
Self" from TM. The Self has always been a TM thing.
It's what you're said to experience when you
transcend, remember? Boy, you are really out in
left field here.
