I think you consider an internship with Jerry, Michael.
Why don't you check it out. Paid,or unpaid, I'd recommend it.

MJ should probably consult a cult-exit counselor first, at a free
clinic, or at least send a note to Gina at TM-Free, BEFORE he gets an
internship with Jerry. If MJ is going to be a double-agent informant,
his boss John Knapp should probably be informed.
It's obvious that MJ is an informant - but it should be clear who he is
working for if he is going to be allowed to post disinformation to FFL.

Jerry Jarvis told my friend Bill that he has Marshy's complete

*Subject:* [FairfieldLife] Why MMY's Bhagavad Gita will never be a
classic.
Firstly, it was never completed as far as we know. We do know MMY did
some translation sand commentarys of chapters 7-18 but we don't know
which ones for sure and they were never published. The missing
chapters of MMY's Gita were left in the hands of Charles Lutes and
were mysteriously 'stolen' from him and have disappeared, presumably
at least one person knows where they are (if you know let us all know).
Secondly, and more importantly, MMY never really unfolds the allegory
that the Bhagavad Gita IS. MMY suggests in his translation that when
Krishna advised Arjuna to "...rise and fight", it was talking about an
actual war that occurred in India in long gone days. (Think about how
silly that sounds, a dialogue on an actual battlefield where Arjuna
becomes self-realized and Krishna has a class on Indian philosophy,
really??)
That is incorrect, Vyasa's classic only uses that historical reference
loosely to tell a more subtle esoteric battle, that is, the battle
between good and evil waged on the field (kurushetra) of the body,
mind and soul. Understanding the Sanskrit meanings of the words and
characters in the script unfolds the esoteric meaning, only a really
intuitive realized soul can properly understand Vyasa's meaning since
Sanskrit words can have different meanings. MMY only refers to this
connection, BUT HE NEVER UNFOLDS IT! Why? probably because he had an
*agenda* in writing the book and never intended to do a comprehensive
analysis of it.
He also said if *time permitted*, (what, he was 93 when he died) in
order to do justice to the subject he'd have to do a commentary on the
Gita in light of ALL six systems of Indian philosophy (Nyaya,
Vaisheshika, Sankhya, Yoga...etc.) which would equal 24
commentaries.......it never happened! Which is Absurd, IMO.
Thirdly, even though TM is not taught in the context of Religion, is
used to be! MMY said that TM is, I quote, "....the greatest blessing
of the Vedas", (The Vedas MMY) and that "all Religions come from the
*eternal Religion* of the Vedas". (MMY The Vedas).
The TM technique may not be a Religion, and like a steering wheel may
not be called a car, it certainly is central to the functioning of a
car. That is the relationship of the TM technique to Religion.
The advanced chapters of the Gita were too Religious sounding for MMY,
IMHO. For instance the title of Chapter 16v21 is, "The Threefold Gate
of Hell", I wonder why MMY didn't bless us with his commentary of this
chapter...hummm?
