Slow down, slow down! I don't really care what you do. Quit making such grand proclamations. I've an idea. At the risk of sounding like I'm preaching, why don't you work on number one a bit, and just see you have some pockets of bitterness you need to smooth out. n'est 'ce pas. (-;

I will stop calling him, Marshy, Old Goat, lying son of bitch and all the other names I have called him. I will become a spokesperson for the TMO, telling my story of how I became convinced that TM is the best thing since sliced bread. I will spearhead a push to get TM in ALL middle schools, high schools, colleges, universities and trade schools in the country and in all US protectorates around the globe. I will be part of a supreme effort to get TM in every single US military facility around the world, I will ask that TM and TMSP become part of every soldier, sailor, airman, marine and coast guard basic training and I will ask that Congress pass a law that every single congressman upon becoming elected must learn TM and TMSP. I would also have it further mandated that before ANY important vote on the house and senate floor the entire congress would meditate together for half an hour. Before Buck, Nabby, Feste, Sri and Steve spontaneously ascend into heaven over the idea of all of the above, thus far I see no proof nor even any credible evidence that Marshy was enlightened, nor that the TMO does more good than harm. Mostly I see and hear evidence of quite the opposite. Stories of Marshy's arrogance, elitist attitudes, Hindu fanaticism misuse and manipulation of people, and a great deal more of both personal experience and the collective experiences of friends, acquaintances and strangers that the TMO mainly tells us that all sorts of grand things are GONE happen, they are not happening now really for a variety of reasons but they are GONE happen, so keep giving generously and keep buying abundantly all our goods, service and nostrums so all this fabulous stuff will actually happen. Mostly the Marshy did and the TMO still today tells everyone to do it and buy it just cuz we say its real and true, not because it actually is true and real and good. They ask everyone to suspend their own common sense, their own wisdom and ability to discern truth and just believe whatever they are told by the TMO especially where what the TMO says today contradicts what was said yesterday. They want everyone just to believe and pay up even when the belief is obviously superstition such as hiding under your desks during a solar eclipse As to the claims and questionable research, I have to quote the wisdom of the Turq - If TM (and its adjunct programs) were any good, they wouldn't have to lie to sell them. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 5/4/14, steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@... <steve.sundur@... mailto:steve.sundur@...> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Great oppurtunity for rethinking To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, May 4, 2014, 1:27 PM ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : Quite simply, if "Maharishi's knowledge" had been worth a shit to begin with, such policies and the attitudes they spring from could never have been born in the first place. Proximity to Marshy and length of time spent both administering the Movement and doing TMSP breeds arrogance, elitism, uncaring attitudes about common people, greed and a general display of poor behavior. Or, it may be that you are extrapolating your experience to the entire organization. Not to say that there aren't plenty of examples of such, but as usual, you are not interested in anything that could be described as fair and balanced. If it doesn't fit your agenda, you simply leave it out. at the introduction of Naharishi brahminism is getting an thoughtful "reboot" to make the participants more appreciative of Maharishi's knowledge, we have a great opportunity to rethink policies that reduce supperradiance by banning people from the domes for "competing" with the movement or visiting other spiritual guru types when they are not wavering their adherence to core values concerning the TM and TM Sidhis purity. #yiv0531876808 #yiv0531876808 -- #yiv0531876808ygrp-mkp { border:1px solid
