I listen to no other human on the subject but myself, as I entered TM for my
own personal reasons. Namely to get as described, deep rest, and that's what I
did. When I was fifteen I was already totally burnt on life and I was a
satanist hollywood punk rocker who had bad tripped on acid many times, and who
felt he simply had never lived. My goal was to live deeply, and I knew I had
fucked myself all up by staying out all night and being on drugs, and never
caring about anything and I needed to descover all these things for myself in a
supportive environment where I could heal in quietness and so I went to MIU.
The process worked for me. And then I fell right back into my old ways. But now
I am a punk rocker who does drugs who doesn't bad trip anymore and I do care
about things and feel pretty good moments each day now. I guess I could say I'm
happy. I don't really do TM much anymore, though I do sometimes if I go on a
retreat. Fact is, I find it too powerful. It derails my life. I guess I
transcend pretty easy. Sidhis have worked to a degree mainly transcendence
senses ones and a few others. I do not find TM different from any other highest
yogic practice in the world that I have studied and I guess you could say that
I have four books of sadhanas from various lamas and gurus - books of sheets
culled from initiations. It is all one. There is not a shred of difference
between what MMY teaches and what we learn in the Mahayana it's just more
immediately reified on the relative. MMY is the only guru we know that took to
packaging enlightenment.
Enlightenment can be understood as many things but one thing it directly is is
the engaging of oneself with liberation through sight channels and eventually
all who are enlightened will be full of light as experience of their own nature
reflected through the visual channels. From this perspective MMY has sold
enlightenment or the instilling of transcendental self awareness which is the
engagement with the light awareness of oneself. Since it's oneself therefore it
is not MMY who has necesssarily engaged this process but oneself and MMY is the
reflection of oneself engaging liberation through these products which allow
their unfolding. It's a pretty satisfactory process to me as when I am killing
myself working I can take some product and get rid of the negatives of the
action and change karma from bad to good. How awesome is that!?
So I can take some amrit to rid myself of poisons. Or have jyotish or yajnas to
rid myself of bad shit. (If MMY would get the yajna shit together right -
never heard much good about his pundits). or transcend or get sidhis through
those programs. MMY is some right fly shit for the money. I'm happy and proud
that I went to his university and helped develop the underlying purusha of
clarity for persons to draw upon. Though I am a Shakta Dzogchen Buddhist. That
is that I refer to the supreme identity of myself with Shakti and emptiness and
I have been therefore on the initiating edge for many lives. Since Shakti is
the initiator. "Shiva is shava without Shakti." We Dzogchen practitioners have
long been considered punk rocker satanists and we wear the bone ornaments.
Because this world is the smashan. Do not look for happiness in it. But
happiness can be found in the source of life as the Trikaya. And then brought
to bear on the world.
Nothing has changed
but ones identification.
Away from the earth
and towards the space.
The fascinating thing about this group is that everyone here has a spiritual
reality, even if it's not consensual. That, to me, is why I love you all in
spite of sometimes getting flustered. In my book those who initate the light
are my family, helping me to become liberated from bad shit, thus my friends as
well. So I thank each and every one of you non-materialists for helping
through the years. You have my appreciation. As does MMY. It's you guys who got
us out of the stilted Victorian mentality and opened the door to the light. I
know MMY answered some of my prayers. My deepest prayers answered by my root
lama who I knew only for three short years before he passed.
But I love MMY. He had to smack the world with a sledgehammer, and I swear
sometimes I thought it was meant for me but it wasn't it was meant for the
materialists who are nihilists and who do not believe in karma. Those persons
who wish to control all the world's resources for their own family. The
Oligarchy and their age old supporters the Republic.
If one enjoins the light then they have become important and if they enjoin the
dark then they are numerous and pointless. Thus light must by necessity always
win. Eventhough it is meaningless it instills all meaning. Whereas though one
dies for a point it has been done countlessly and is meaningless.
Moreover the Maharishi Effect tells us that light multiplies. Maybe the exact
mechanics are not understood just as how weather prediction is still shakey. So
not predictable, but in my heart I feel the widening of the horizon of clarity
of awareness, and since I am so unremarkable a person from birthright, I know
that all of us have done this.
Because I couldn't have alone.
This what? This - perfection!
It wasn't around when I was a lad.

Well, Sir Kirk, Most of MMY's ideas makes sense. I am a TM-shill myself.
But, some of the ideas don't. Here's a link Wacky
The point is the "Sidhi Program" has put unbelieveable psychological
pressure on the TM-org.
The other Spiritual organisations don't suffer from this kind of
pressures. So their development is well grounded in the long run.
There is an immense psychological pressure on the TM-org to "Perform" and
to "Prove", both are fatal for spiritual growth.
They have this pressure to 'prove' that they are Special and a cut above
the rest which again is fatal.
This 'pressure' makes the TM-org do more and more ridiculus things like,
planning to build thousands and thousands of peace palaces,
building a world's tallest building in every time zone,
organising large groups of 'Yogic flyers' for futile butt bouncing,
and huge purusha groups and Mother divine groups, (spiritual growth is an
personal one.)
Mad money scheme (Raam) which is just worthless Colourfull paper,
insisting only in Ayurvedic medical treatment, which does NOT work if
there is a medical emergency, (how crazy can you get)
Name calling like 'Scorpion nation' 'Holes in the brain' etc etc.
I am sure Dr. Peter Stuphen knows what is psychologicaly wrong with the
TM-org.
Have you read this Article by Coleman. FFL post No 79084

Well, the point though is that we have the ability to have sidhis built into
this new Vatacan which has ostensibly started out with more converts than the
Church. MMY may well be someday the more revered prophet ever. History only
knows.
