This reply Michael, is not logically sound. It is circumstantial evidence that M was more interested in other things. But I too noticed that projects began, or were advertised, and then never materialised. I never gave money to any movement project. It was always very clear that the flow of money was a one way street, and that if a project did not materialise or was unfinished, you would not get anything back.
And for Nabby, if Buddha managed 500 enlightened people, what is TM movement tally so far? Maharishi's statement would be true if the movement produced 501 enlightened people, which taking into account modern communications, would not be so hot by comparison. I have never heard of any official movement statement regarding anyone getting enlightened, including Maharishi. The most I have heard is from time to time the movement publishes a list of 'experiences' certain people have had, such as 'after TM I noticed that my nail fungus seemed better than before'. ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : His habit of begging, cajoling, bullying and wheedling people to give him money for projects that never materialized and giving no explanation for where the money went makes your assertion untrue. From: nablusoss1008 <[email protected]> Raising individual and collective consciousness was the one aspect that mattered most to Maharishi, everything else was just the frosting of the cake. "It is said that the Lord Buddha left 500 enlightened people. I think we will do better" - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Buddha Yayanti, River Rhine, Germany, 1982
