Yep, I would make a shitty TM administrator. The seekers would whine and stomp their feet incessantly. Thank God I didn't pursue that career path. :-) Heh, If I were in charge I would be much too lenient about what people could do and/or not do. I figure grown adults have the privilege of making life choices and if they choose to follow the drill and be allowed into the Domes then so be it. If they have the need to follow every Tom-ji, Dick-samadhi or Tom-bliss they want then so be it too. I, for one, wouldn't last more than an hour in FF (I have already created a furor of frothing-at-the-mouth Bernie supporters in FF who are on my FB - I'm not sure they have recovered yet) so actually being there in person would be a death knell for me. My personal path does not lie in following a book or a practice given by a teacher. At the risk of sounding really cliched, my preferred path is the one that involves getting booted around by what life has to offer. Knowledge and experience is available everywhere without me having to read or listen to what other 'gurus' have to say. I tried that a couple of times - I realized I prefer the sound of the wind and rain. On that note, did anyone see "Holy Hell" on CNN? It was fascinating and watching these people and their 'teacher' brought back many memories of my own experience in a cult. There seems to be about 8 basic similarities in personality type when it comes to these Westernized cult leaders. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Ollie, You fall into company with seemingly cold and cheerless TM fanatics inside of things who in charge have been making this large assumption asserting this comment there in the communal middle of things .. but continuing the plunge into the transcendent in the Dome will only lead them to greater confusion. It does not follow that: Once this is clearly explained, it would settle much of the issue. People do have their own revelatory experience with this. Evidently much of the meditating community here subscribes to some of this comment: The TM-Sidhis are the complete path, and one that leads to all the other knowledge that is being offered, in time. If they want to look elsewhere, OK, but.. The numbers would indicate that people in experience generally agree with some context of these last comments and have voted with their feet against cultural things here that have been facilitated by some people possibly who are as virginal or dimly experienced as you have written about them. But their own individual experience aside the larger FF communal spiritual experience is hostage still to the assertion about sufficiency as you are offering it here. /FairfieldLife. * snip
