Well, if there were a disagreement between Big Bopper Bevan and Craig Pearson
about some aspect of MUM's running, who do you think would win the argument?

Hey
Michael,
Most
of what I know about the school comes from the annual
publication I get listing achievements and donors about and
to MUM.. (and yes, I am listed as making a small
donation)
But
as I understand it Craig Pearson is the administrative head
of the school.
Now,
whether he takes his orders from the Rajas, or Bevan, or if
is able to work independently, I don't
know.
I do
happen to know someone higher up in the school
administration and talk to him very infrequently. But
the impression I get is that those administrators handle to
day to day running, without a lot of direct oversight or
interference from the rajas.
Of
course, in the same publication, they also list the trustees
of the university. They are many, and very few (if
any) are rajas, IIRC.
So,
that may offer a different perspective than the one you are
offering.

an offshoot? What
are you smoking? Let's see - the leader of the Movement,
King-Pin Tony CALLS himself not only a king but the BIG
king, he wears robes and a big ass gold crown - all the
other leaders including Bevan are all robe and crown wearers
- these asses RUN the Movement - if the rajas aren't in
charge who is? The fact that you can't accept these guys
have become the face of the new Movement is indicative of
just how deep your denial runs.

I think
it's called the World Wide Web.
The
Rajas are just a weird offshoot of the main organization.
I'm not sure what direct connection the Rajas
have
to academic life.
As
for due diligence during the time you were involved in the
organization and people looking at it now, it's sort of
like indicting the Collective Papers for being so low on
Amazon's Book list compared to the guy's book that
just came out about the murder of his fellow MUM student. A
lot has changed in thirty years.
The
world just doesn't turn exactly the way you want it to
Michael. You have to get used to that fact.
Despite your earnest efforts to defeat the
organization in every way you can, you may end up being
frustrated.
But
I'm sure you'll stay at it. It appears to be
quite a preoccupation for you.
And
really, if truth be told, it seems to have come on heels of
your other failed spiritual ventures. Perhaps all
that
frustration got all balled up, and this is now the
result.
Just
sayin'

You must be
living with your head in the sand Share - the TMO masks a
great deal of what it does from the outside observer
including those who are prospective students. I have told
the story of how I just a few months ago had a good talk
with a young man and his mother. The boy was intent on
going
to MUM - they had been to visitors weekend and didn't
even know anything about the rajas! I had been in the TM
mindset for 10 years before I went to MIU and I had no idea
of the stupid crap I would have to put up with while on
staff - no one does unless they have been on staff or as a
student.

salyavin, in this day and age, however could a person join
a
utopian cult without realizing it?! Sounds to me like
someone who didn't do their due diligence.
And if it's really as bad as the blogger claims,
wouldn't he have noticed the trailer park etc. when he
first arrived. Plenty of time to get money back or not
enroll at all. I doubt that the blog is telling his part in
all this.
The students at MUM now are very different than the
students
who were at MIU in 1975. Back then many were TM teachers
and
or had already been meditating for a few years.
Californians! Nowadays they're into David Lynch or
sustainable living or organic food or some combo or these
(-:
As for me, I'm no longer on the inside and haven't
been for almost 12 years, 7 of which I didn't even go
to
the Dome. Plus I have constant contact
with my non meditating family so I'm aware of how it
all looks to non meditators.

Well salyavin, in all my years here,
we've only had one earthquake and it's epicenter

I'll have to ask some
vastu dwellers about the homeowners insurance.
PS btw, speaking of good
questions, I think mine is a good question too: if this
blogger is so unhappy with MUM, why does he continue being
a
student there?!
As I said, he probably
has his money invested in it, be hard to change to another
one without losing any downpayments or even just getting on
another course at this stage without starting
again.
Maybe he's
got a lot of anger at finding out that he joined a
utopianist cult without realising it? I've never been
to
FF or MUM but I know how the movement works and let's
face it, the TMO is more than a bit weird. You may not
think
so as you are on the inside but the TM worldview is unusual
and takes some getting used to for anyone. If you
steadfastly refuse to adopt it then you will be unhappy. Is
it possible to just go to MUM and not notice what everyone
else believes?
