I feel the same as Sal, except that I don't do TM anymore. Sal, you summed it
up very well. BTW which Star Trek you watching? Original? Nex Gen - my favorite
was always Deep Space 9, and I make no apologies for it!

It's amazing how all you guys who hate TM so much take such a keen interest in
everything the TM movement does. No one I know in Fairfield takes much interest
in it all. Maybe the folks on campus do, which makes them rather like you,
although for different reasons. But I guess you just have a need to feel smug
and superior, and the TM movement just serves as a vehicle for that. You are,
after all, so much better and wiser and more knowledgeable than they are, right?
For the millionth time. I still do TM but think the supporting philosophy is
crap and the movement makes a lot of money out of some obviously dubious
"technologies" even though they like to bleat about science at any other time.
Go figure.
Regarding this "obsession" with the TMO, what I have is an interest in what my
old spiritual almer mater is up to because it was a wild time and I met some
crazy people (in both good and bad ways) and got to see the inside of a cult
and saw how it works and how it affects affects people. I still like TM as it
goes and have fond memories of my time living there, but you've got to
transcend the crap you are in to evolve. It's the movement types who aren't
curious and carry on like everything is great that worry me.
Finally, FFL is something to do at work and during the adverts on TV - watching
Star Trek at the moment - it's not an obsession either. It's a bit of fun. So
lighten up. BTW what are you doing here?

Cool. I'd love to go and have a look round and take some photos.
Do you remember the story the TMO used to tell about there being an old Injun
legend about white men in white clothes flying round the top of their "holy"
mountain? LOL.

Hi, is this a topic that has already been discussed on this forum? Some years
ago I heard that Mother Divine repurchased their original campus in Boone,
North Carolina, some later the news was that they had a gain sold it. This
seems a really strange move. Does anybody know the reason?
I heard rumours from sources in North Carolina of long negotiations to buy the
property from the Kaplans. When this was finally accomplished, estimates for
repairs had to be made as the property lay dormant for quite a while. Mother
Divine of course wants everything just so. But when some of the walls were
opened up, there was apparently a lot of damage, by mould and water. The cost
of fixing this, so I heard, was prohibitive. The damage was not discovered
during the inspections leading up to purchase. I wonder where Jyotish was when
this deal was made (not that that would have any predictive effect on the
outcome)? They sold it to one of the other spiritual groups in the area, I
think. TMO financial shenanigans can come back to haunt, as TMO promises not
kept were the reason the property had to be abandoned in the first place. There
is probably some information on this in the FFL archives, if you can find it
now that the neo interface here makes it difficult to do precise searches
