Let me elaborate on yesterdays message. I was talking about respect for all
of MMY devotees. Teachers,
those practicing TM and TM-Sidhi's or any other program that MMY has
developed such as SCI. My heart
goes out to those who have served Maharishi as teachers. According to my
Vedic Chart I am a teacher. I
am not a certified TM teacher. I was smarter than some of you. I saw the
problems within the TMO long before many did. I would have loved to become a TM
teacher because of my love and admiration to MMY.
I just knew that he was headed in the wrong direction regarding Public
Relations and how many are treated back in 1980 when I received the TM-Sid hi
program.
Because of the lack of treating human beings with respect many as you
already know have left our TM movement family. This is unfortunate because the
thousands who left are now with other teachers who used to be with MMY. It has
also damaged world consciousness to a great degree. Many countries such as
Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, N. Korea, etc- are in a state of chaos because of the
choices made by top leaders
in TMO who refuse to look at some simple policies that include respect for
the human evolution of the soul.
MMY would have had his one percent effect back in 1985 if choices between
1975 to 1985 included treating
people with respect. Even Charlie Lutes was told to leave the administrative
board because he was talking
a spiritual language outside of the MIU campus. Here was a person who was
the closest Westerner in the
early days to MMY.
The bottom line is this my friends from Fairfield IA to everywhere else our
family of meditators and Sidha's live. " AS LONG AS ONE IS PRACTICING THE TM
OR TM-SIDH'S PROGRAM IN THE EXACT WAY THAT MMY HAS TAUGHT US WE SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT PROGRAMS. HOW WE
CONDUCT OUR SPIRITUAL LIVES BEYOND THE BOUDERIES OF THE TMO IS NONE OF THEIR
BUSSINESS. If someone decided they would like to be
a Yoga teacher of some other tradition, earn a living by teaching astrology,
visit another spiritual teacher, practice a healing technique on their time
the TMO has no right to judge or feel that they are in a position to
judge others and the path that their soul has chosen to follow. This is a
violation of spiritual laws set in place by the ascended masters. And guess
what, they may be able to get away with this on the earth plane but
when the soul crosses over to the other side the spiritual level of
development can be diminished. This applies to everyone including MMY or any
other
volunteer who is not using their abilities to serve the people.
I hope this e-mail is clear on how I feel. I am very thankful for the forum
that has been created for us that we
are able to participate in our democracy of America which allows us to speak
freely and openly. Maybe their will be a day when the TMO will operate more
like a democracy than trying to control the laws of nature to expand and
grow. The TMO has so much to offer us all and humanity in regards to the
reconstruction of the ancient Vedic tradition. A tradition that I have fallen
in love
with. Jeffrey Cohen who is the co-director of the department for the
development of Consciousness seems to think i am not on the same path that MMY
is
on. HE IS WRONG AND MAKING CHOICES FOR ME THAT ARE NOT VALID. MY love for
MMY should never be questioned by someone who is working for MMY. I'd rather be
thanked for showing my concern for the world that i want to participate in
Invincible America. That I have given enough attention to MMY to show
that i respect him and his organization. That I have been and will continue
to be a serious practitioner of the TM and TM-Sidhi's program for the last 28
years of my life.
My prayer is that MMY will hire me to put the TMO in America on the right
track. I would make a great leader who has the ability to listen to people. I
stand by all of the TM and TM-Sidhi practitioners who want to be involved in
MMY programs and if yo decide that you want to hug another saint or sit with
another teacher
to further your spiritual growth then that is your business. If you want to
practice astrology other than MMY
astrology then you have that right. AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE JUST WANT
WORLD PEACE. We don't want anymore violence on this planet. This is what MMY
wants. He just gets in his own way sometimes but I still love him to death.
I miss the MMY we used to know. I pray we can get some of him back soon. And
if we can't then we can carry on and develop without him and not make the same
mistakes he has made. All of love to the Fairfield community and all of the
citizen TM and TM-Sidhi's programs. A special thank you and admiration to
all of the TM teachers who put so much energy and time into the TMO but came up
short handed. May the leaders of the TMO begin to recognize your service to
humanity on the deepest levels of consciousness. The Unified Field of all the
laws of nature. Love and Light. Lou Valentino
Feel free to share this e-mail with as many people as possible. You can also
write to Jeffrey Cohen at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) or
phone him at 641-472-1212 to support citizen Sidha's, meditators and teachers
of
TM that want to participate in Invincibility for America but have been
personally violated by his department. As long as one is stable in Mind, Body
and
Spirit and has completed the TM or TM Sidhi program and are practicing it
daily exactly
the way MMY taught them they should be allowed on the course. And, I would
encourage Jeffrey and his department
to find a place for those practicing TM to form a special group program on
Campus. It is the gasoline generated by the
practitioners of TM that fuels the engines of the Sidha's. It is time to pay
respect that is equal if not more important to
TM practitioners who have no interest in the TM-Sidhi program. All of my
love to you and Jeffrey Cohen. Peace to all.
