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 the original series, I found it on CBS. I haven't seen any of them since I was a kid. It's great stuff. Tonight's was about a penal colony where the governor has gone mad and is brainwashing everyone to be just like him. Kirk gets the treatment but saved the day and got off with the foxy chick. No surprises there.

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.

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?

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
