When I taught 3% of the population of Napa, CA, crime didn't lessen. And Napa, CA is a peaceful, laid back, isolated from the world, valley community. Still, it did have a crime rate. The ME should have "had it easy" to show some strong affects there.
Nope. And, then, the number of initiations petered out just like everywhere else after the Merv era passed. Even though, you know, I'm one hell of a lecturer -- a very accomplished public speaker -- college debate team and all that. The number of folks coming for checking was absolutely normal compared to other TM centers too, that is, almost no one showed up after the 10 day checking. So the ME didn't even show up as "better experiences during meditation" or "more folks coming in for checking" or "word of mouth keeping a steady trickle of newbies coming to the introductory lectures." In fact, I saw NOTHING that I could call "due to the ME." It may be true, the ME might work, but scientifically, it's pure oogabooga horse shitty guru-geek-azoid clap trap. But, wait, it was my fault right? I mean, even during the Merv era, we had Maharishi saying that the TMP was not being successful as it could be, because of "lack of purity in the lives of the initiators." I think he had Jerry Jarvis tell us that delightful news. So, I apologize to everyone for fucking over the ME with my lifestyle in Napa -- not sure what I was doing wrongly, but since crime didn't come to a halt in Napa, I musta been a purdy bad boy. Let's see, ten years living in a bedroom upstairs in the center, forgoing having children for 11 years in my marriage, driving a $200 car, setting up lectures at mental hospitals for the staff, arranging for Dr. Gluck to lecture to 500 social workers, doing a lecture series at the Vacaville prison, putting up thousands of posters.....hmmmm, no, probably that wasn't was stymied the ME in Napa. Oh, I know what it was! I had sex with my wife in the center!!!! There, that was probably it -- my impurity snuffed any chance Napa had for seeing the full sunshine of the age of enlightenment. Now, why is it that we are asked to believe that the ME is SOOOOOOOO COOL if a guy like me can stop it in its tracks with that devastating weapon of mass delight: orgasms? Just to be completely honest here, I have to admit, my orgasms are, indeed, powerful -- seismic even. Maybe I should run for president.
