Why some people want to preach to an online spiritual discussion group
and pose as spiritual teachers, instead of just seekers, is beyond me
(no pun intended).

You happened upon this TM, and the trigger for your disenchantment, if
I recall correctly was the air quality in the dome, or some such thing.
Probably the powers that be, did not handle the situation properly,
but I suspect that it was only a matter of time before some other
situation would arise which would become your wedge issue.
Or maybe, you just made progress to a certain point, and now you are
in your consolidation period.
That may be the more likely scenario being that you can't go more than
a couple hours without some reflection of TM.

does to you) (-:

I agree that may be true for some, the problem is that the Old Fraud
and his organization, the Movement have always make outrageous
unsupportable claims for the efficacy and benefits of of TM for
EVERYONE. This gives people who know nothing about TM unreasonable
expectations and sets them up for disappointment on many levels.
If one reads and listens to the hype about TM and TMSP the existence
of a mental/emotional state that would lead one to be a child molester
should not be possible in someone who has done TMSP for decades. Yet
it happens. If the TMO billed TM for what it actually is, instead of
what they claim for it, I would never say a word.
It is the fraud, the lies and the misuse of people that makes the TMO
a fundamentally corrupt and disgusting organization.
And the meditation itself is mediocre - it is not the superlative
better than any other technique, superior to all others the Movement
does and Marshy did claim that it is.

Good day lurking reporters, yes Stephen Collins, who has molested
children, has been a TM advocate. So too has Father Gabriel Mejia been
a TM advocate. And he has rescued hundreds of Columbian street
children with TM central to his efforts.
What reasonable conclusions can be drawn from these opposite stories?
Perhaps that TM is a technique that can be of great benefit to some,
and, on its own, not to others.
From my own experience I'd say that TM is necessary for full
psychological development. But in some cases, it is not sufficient.
Nor is TM sufficient to heal a toothache. Or a broken finger. Or a
floundering marriage.
Again, in my own experience, I'd say TM is perfect for preparing the
ground for healing. And I think of it as my only spiritual practice.
What I do to deal with my Attachment Disorder, those I think of as my
healing modalities. They are complementary to my TM practice. But they
could never replace it.

And where are the TM apologists here on FFL on this revelation? Deadly
silent!
They have shifted into "shoot the messenger" mode. There is, after
all, *nothing* they can say to "apologize away" one of the TMO's
superstars being investigated for child molestation. So since they
can't excuse it away, they'll try to distract from it by attacking you
and anyone else who brings it up.
Hadn't you noticed this trend? All of the lurking reporters have.
