And for me, I find Nader and Hagelin's talks much more on point and coherent than some of MMY's -- who is prone, IMO, to repetition and circular references. I found the talks to give a nice vision. Its sweet. Maybe it will not come to fruition. Maybe it will. Look back at it in 200 years. 1000 years. maybe it will all be dust. maybe it will be something. Possibly something of value to the world.  Christianity became a world thing out of what I understand was a small chaotic group, floundering for several centuries. That is not to say that all floundering things become great. Few do. But small and floundering in early years does not disqualify it. I think it already has. TM was a major catalyst for raising the interest level for meditation period--TMers who went on to other forms of meditation, people who heard all the TM marketing spin and thought "maybe I should check out some form of meditation" or people who just always stuck with TM. TM's major contribution to this world may just simply be being "at the right place at the right time"--it might not even be TM itself, but the catalysis it's promotion and presence provided in collective awareness. In that sense maybe (as someone once claimed the Bhrigu shastras stated) Mahesh Varma is a minor avatar (1/16th of an avatar IIRC). Just a messenger, don't kill him. And whether one likes TM as their own form of meditation or not I think most meditators would acknowledge that mediation together in groups is a good thing--another trend the TMO helped inject into world awareness. It may just all be about nudging world awareness on these two topics. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
