I dont' know about the TMO creating a mental health clinic for Fairfield, but Robert Schneider gave a plenary presentation last weekend about mental health therapies from a Vedic perspective.
This sounds like the barest inkling of an admission of an issue that needs to be addressed. L ---In [email protected], <mjackson74@...> wrote : Sounds great Bucky!

MJ, someone evidently is leading you along [by the nose] with bad information. That simply is not true. There have been working meetings of [meditating] mental health professionals and interested people going on for weeks around actively delivering modern mental health to the Fairfield and meditating communities. That process has pushed a development of a mental health clinic on campus that is being set up and staffed. There is movement with local community resources of hospital, emergency response, social services and police to have qualified mental health people available as standard now. Even a local facility to help in crisis. These are work in progress in the meditating community and locally working together around this. Yes and all very much looking at the culture of the meditating community around modern mental health services and resources is going on. One of the academic papers delivered at the academic conference over this last weekend was a framework for mental health from the movement adopting modern scientific and effective practices to mental health. This is being forced and grappled with by good people and the movement too. There is good progress and work in progress. You are making wild and large assumptions evidently to your own end otherwise. -Buck, on the Ground in Fairfield and in the Dome mjackson74 writes: I just got a private e-mail from someone in Fairfield who says that you are making all this up about the TMO creating a group to help people with mental problems that might lead to suicide.

I think you are stuck in the past about the TMO. More importantly, I don't think you welcome good news about the TMO. But you are welcome to come to one of the public meetings I'm referring to and find out for yourself. That is, if you are sincerely interested in improving situations.

Interesting in that you just took me to task for not responding to Sounds of Silence's bs. So what are the Movement's remedies to prevent suicide? More meditation? More yagyas? More money donated to the Movement? Come on Share, don't blather about it unless you are gonna come clean. I know the Movement. The Movement in fact does not evolve. They are still stuck in the vibe that the Old Fraud himself gave that TM is 1000000000% life supporting. They can't offer a damn thing to mitigate suicides among TM'ers that works, cause you could have to cease TM to do so. Their remedies are all superstitious nonsense. So come on, prove me wrong. Are they now suggesting that depressed TM'ers go get professional non-TM help from psychiatrists? Or is it some ayurvedic mental health fakir who come from India to squirt some mango juice in their ears while chanting mantras to them, all at an exorbitant price? From: "Share Long sharelong60@...

I'd also add that the TMO is an evolving organization comprised of evolving individuals in an evolving universe. It's healthy to make use of what's beneficial in the world and if one wants, help heal and or develop what's still evolving. I don't think it's healthy to keep focused on what happened a long time ago with a non healing intention. Which is what I think you do.

How can they be doing anything about it when they adamantly claim TM is 100% life supporting. I know what kind of response they had when Mark Totten stepped in front of a train - it was their usual response - "He must not have been meditating correctly." Wonder if they said that about the purusha man who set himself on fire in Marshy's basement? From: "Share Long sharelong60@...

As well as plenty of others who have had their lives devastated by their practice of TM and TMSP as well as their affiliation with the Movement. Talk sometime to those long term TM practitioners who survived suicide attempts or the families of those whose attempts were successful and you may find a different perspective on TM. I have talked to some of them and I know whereof I speak. Suicide amongst long term TMSP'ers is one of the darkest and most ignored aspects of the Movement. From: "William Leed WLeed3@...
