Arrogance, ignorance, business-greed and 'spirituality', a rather peculiar cocktail... a 'best'-glue impossible to transcend and get unstuck of, even by the TMers repeating the mantra while still waiting & hoping for 'Cosmic Consciousness', and contemplating the 'scientific charts and proofs', for the last 50 years. Fact, no? A top Raja in the hierarchy of TM, told me so, as well as of the power-tripping between teachers and Rajas and also that TMers are totally wrong thinking that repeating the mantra is enough - insight is what is necessary; an Ex top TM-Governer told me of the fake 'levitation' and the falsified commercial pictures. A rather corrupt affair. How sad! Heard?... MMY said at last Guru Purnam on TV that now, what's in, is doing more and more Puja, and also he suggested for the TM teachers to hurry up and get CC, or else the new born souls, who are very advanced spiritually will take over the scene and TM will be pushed in the background (and naturally out of business) and then how will the org. _get_ 'the best' and their money? > > > > > Best wishes, > > j.-- > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/J-Krishnamurti_andLife/ > > >
