If you like coherence, check out Willytex's comment to Paul's latest blog entry over on TM-Free. In it he says, > So, Paul, you're saying that Mahesh was in > Calcutta with the Shankaracharya, Swami > Brahmanand Saraswati, when the Guru sat up > in bed with his legs crossed and took his > last breath. > > And, you're saying that after the Swami > expired, Mahesh took the body and put it on > a train and sent it to Kashi. > > Then Mahesh put the upright-sitting body in a > concrete trunk and sank it in the Ganges River > in front of a large group of people. > > And you're saying that after that, the Mahesh > took the Guru's sandals, his high chair, his > umbrella, and other official accoutrements, > including all the land and buildings at > Jyotirmath and gave them to Shantanand, who he > then installed on the Gaddi at Jyotirmath. The hilarious thing is that Paul said NONE of those things in the blog entry Willytex is responding to. Not one of them. Now I think we all know that Willy's got a few linger- ing mental problems from all that prairie dog poontang he's been tasting, but he does present himself as an On The Program TMer. So doesn't THAT just give you a warm feeling of peace and serenity? > OK, it was laughter, but that's bliss, right? Damn straight. Laughter is always a good thing. I was kinda expecting what's-her-name to jump into the Firefly vs. Babylon 5 debate. After all, she would feel imminently qualified to do so, having seen neither series. > They don't seem as good at going back in time...but then > again, the movie review siddhi twasn't dat good either... I don't know...being able to review films you've never seen gives you a *tremendous* advantage over other film critics. You could call yourself The Blindfolded Film Reviewer and beat Ebert to the punch every time. And, when someone mentions that The Blindfolded Film Reviewer included some elements in her review that weren't in the film AT ALL, she can just scream at them and make up stories about them. Hey! that approach has worked wonders for Rush Limbaugh, so I'm betting that The Blindfolded Film Reviewer show will be a big hit. The first films reviewed will be: * "Inland Empire" (2006) -- a glowing, positive review, stressing the filmmaker's...um...coherence and aversion to the violence that The Blindfolded Film Reviewer finds so abhorent. * "One: The Movie" (2005) -- a *scathing* review of this New Age film, stressing the appearance of Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Thich Nhat Hahn, Robert Thurman, and others she will refer to as "spiritual lightweights," while blasting the filmmaker for not including Maharishi. * "How I Won the War" (1967) -- again, a real new-asshole- ripper of a review of this film in its re-release, stress- ing Lennon's obvious stress upon leaving Rishikesh and saying the things he did back then, and his lack of coherence for making such a strongly pro-war film. * "Boogie Nights" (1997) -- another positive review this time, stressing Heather Graham's contributions to the film, and how her TM-inspired...uh...perkiness added to its overall coherence and general sense of family values. * "Candy Baby" (1969) -- the best review of all, for what will be obvious reasons if you check out its IMDB page at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182866/ Similar positive reviews will be made for "Aliens from Spaceship Earth" (1977) and "Romeo und Julia 70" (1969), for the same reason. There can, after all, be no better recommendation for a film than it containing a cameo by not only an enlightened being, but the MOST enlightened, BESTEST spiritual teacher in all of recorded history, on any planet anywhere in this universe or any other. :-)
