I wonder how the TMO compares with other spiritual movements in terms of this problem. There are plenty of sweet people in the movement, and plenty of jerks who hopefully are getting sweeter, but it's been a long haul. If the TMO is worse than average, why is that? Maharishi has given plenty of lip service to "speak the sweet truth" and "the world is my family," but does he treat the people around him that way and does he inspire his followers to do the same? If so, is his inspiration explicit or by example? Or, on the other hand, are people treated like expendable commodities, to be discarded if they become ill, run out of money, become too independent in their thinking, get eclipsed by someone with skills exceeding theirs, etc? Is that any different than the way a corporation functions? Should it be? For some reason, I felt like writing this as a series of questions. I think each question could be answered with examples both pro and con, so we would have to look at what the predominant tendency has been. I don't feel like spouting glib answers at the moment. I guess everyone draws their own conclusions, based on their experience, and acts accordingly. As you say, in Germany, most have left. ------------------------ Yahoo!
