There are people who think that Transcendental Meditation is a religion. They think it's a cult. But it's not a religion. It's not a cult. It's a mental technique that allows you to dive within and experience what belongs to all people. If only they would see that, that it's not against anything.

So much so, that he believes the rest of us don't know, or remember, who the Maharishi is. Or that the Maharishi's bogus "technique" was exposed as a fraud as far back as the 60's when The Beatles first tried it - and then abandoned it with a fury. As Professor Longhair said, his "mind is gone". > > Blue Velvet's head is so messed up he doesn't think we remember how the Maharishi was hitting on Mia Farrow, and warping the depressed mind of her sister, Prudence (Remember John Lennon's Dear Prudence?). Lynch doesn't think we can recognise the idiocy of the Maharishi's "Yogic Flyers", jumping around cross-legged, or how insane you have to be to do it and actually believe that "hopping on your ass" means the same thing as "flying in the sky". (That's the sure sign of a cult, Baby: losing touch with reality. Transcendental Meditation is mind control at it's very best.) It's also sad to think, after all these years - and all we know - that this con is still going on and making that vile little man a fortune (The Maharishi, not David Lynch, his victim.) or that someone as accomplished as Lynch could still fall for it. Boy, along with the good ones, the 60's brought America some fucked up ideas. > > This drive to get people meditating - which even Sam Harris endorses - is a load of crap (That's just one of the problems TMR has with Mr. Letter To A Christian Nation but it's a big one,...). It should be stopped, and exposed, for the B.S. it is. > > It's about time for grown ups to take over America once again because (quite obviously) the Boomers have lost it: it's time to get these fakers - or fakirs - out of the country and, especially, out of our schools. These people are up to no good and David Lynch's views are a perfect window into just how crazy, out of touch, paranoid - and accusatory - these "techniques" can make a person. (Lynch feels persecuted because he can't shove his cult's "misunderstood" ways down American school kids's throats - especially the black ones - "for their own good".) TMR thinks George Harrison could have been writing, specifically, to Mr. Lynch about his beliefs when he wrote his song, Think For Yourself: > > I've got a word or two > To say about the things that you do > You're telling all those lies > About the good things that we can have > If we close our eyes > > Do what you want to do > And go where you're going to > Think for yourself > 'Cause I won't be there with you > > I left you far behind > The ruins of the life that you had in mind > And though you still can't see > I know your mind's made up > You're gonna cause more misery > > Do what you want to do > And go where you're going to > Think for yourself > 'Cause I won't be there with you > > Although your mind's opaque > Try thinking more if just for your own sake > The future still looks good > And you've got time to rectify > All the things that you should > > Do what you want to do > And go where you're going to > Think for yourself > 'Cause I won't be there with you > > Do what you want to do > And go where you're going to > Think for yourself > 'Cause I won't be there with you > Think for yourself > 'Cause I won't be there with you > > > posted by S.H.A.M.
