yes, salyavin, I would miss you and your delightful sense of humor. So there! So why not pop round Rick's house and tell him that Buck is ruining his website by deleting all the best people? It's true that you don't have to have been in Fairfield to have an opinion about TM'ers. But for me it makes the opinion more valid, if it's based on in person observation. Otherwise and this often is the case on FFL, the anti TM responses seem like knee jerk reactions rooted in the past. I would say "carefully considered" rather than "knee jerk" I am still in touch with the org in this country and it hasn't changed much though it's interesting to see how they coped without the reesh. Some changes are good, if shallow, I always knew the internet would be trouble for them because they can't lie to control people when the people can just get on the net and find out what's going on. Another reason to ban censorship of FFL! I think all humans have a vested interest in their conclusions and interpretations. Scientists we're often not!

I love how you keep saying bye but remain. Yay! Consider that I keep getting re-incarnated as the same thing. But you ignored my main point which is people are saying negative stuff and haven't even been in Fairfield, Ground Zero, in decades! Was that your main point? I thought it was that you'd miss me. Boo! I don't think you need have to have been in Fairfield at all to have an opinion about the TMO or TM as it all occurs in the head. And no matter how good a time you're having it doesn't change what I've seen and done. I'd like to know more about FF but no one ever posts anything because it gets analysed by people like me who might have a different viewpoint to what you've decided you want to hear. The recent "vedic" psychiatry debate springs to mind. I had some good questions about it for BUck but he didn't respond. We have the net to keep us informed of how the inner workings of the TMO are going you see so we don't have to visit FF, the changes to the websites tell us a lot.What people post here tells us a lot. The thing is we all have a vested interest in our spiritual alma mater and how it turns out. Trouble is somebody round here doesn't want us to take part because we are "apostates". It's a silly term from a silly man who has ended up with too much power which he wields without considering the long term ramifications of his actions for the place. But then he doesn't take part himself so why should he care? Come on guys, get a little hands on and current experience before you wade in! Get a little present day skin in the game! But having said that, I realize it's just my opinion, just my preference. And I'm a little OCD so some of the repetition zones me out. My bad!

And I will even more immensely enjoy the more tamasic of said negative rantings. Rajo guna I don't mind so much (-: Hey, whatdya know , I'm still here! Jai Guru Me! But I don't really think there's been a deluge of anti-TMO offerings. What I recall is a lot of people who have personal and first hand experience of the weird cult that is TM have expressed - and justified - opinions that people like you and Buck don't like. Why you don't like it is a mystery to me, this is - or was - a discussion room for people with opinions about TM, the TMO and anything else, to share. It's all on the home page. But now Buck has assumed control and deleted all the interesting posters this place is now effectively just a bliss bunny forum with nothing to say. This is sad. The natural conclusion of censorship is that the only posts remaining are the ones nobody wants to read. Look at what Buck used as an excuse to get rid of MJ. It's pathetic. I can't believe you lot are just going to go along with it and not object. But I guess that's what lifetime in a cult does for you. I remember being in the TMO and voicing a contrary opinion and was told that this is a dictatorship and my opinion wasn't relevant if it contradicted Marshy. Funny thing is, Buck was a victim of this fearful fascism and banned from the domes for ages. He came here to rant about it. Now he's back in the fold he's come over all Jai Guru Dev and wants to treat us (you) the same way he was treated. Ironic huh? Just this morning I was reading that a couple of spiritual teachers are saying that too much social media damages the third eye. One of them is actually closing all of his FB pages. Probably just doesn't like the ability of people to offer a contrary opinion. Bye salyavin, xeno and turq, wishing you all much happiness and good health, etc. Yeah, and you Share. You have been a source of fun here when you posted more. And I got some good book recommendations from you. I always thank people who open my eyes to things. Somehow I'll have to find something else to do on my tea break! TTFN ;-) From: "steve.sundur@...

(of course it's all in the yahoo/ffl/mailarchive), but I guess a line was crossed. Too bad, cuz I like xeno's brand of cynicism for the most part, and of course, that dry, dry sense of humor. That will not easily be replaced, IMO. ---In [email protected], <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Dear Xenophaneros Anartaxius you are well aware of the yahoo-groups guidelines of invading privacy or slurring people on yahoo-groups.
