I want to thank Jim Flanegin for his eye-opening and informed writings on the nature of Tibetan Buddhism, especially the parts in which he pointed out that as a spiritual tradition it is a monumental failure, largely because it failed to prevent the takeover of Tibet by the Chinese. He has taught me the error of my ways. I simply don't know what I was thinking before to actually *admire* Tibetan Buddhism for actually walking its talk back in 1950. The fact that it did so *clearly* demonstrates its inferiority to TM and Maharishi's approach. For example, had the leaders of Tibetan Buddhism just thrown away and ignored its core teaching of non-violence and the non-taking of life, I'm sure that the Chinese invasion would never have taken place. The core belief of ahimsa is, after all, just a belief, a principle. And everyone who's spent any time in the TM movement knows that one should *never* allow a silly thing like a principle to stand in the way of What Needs To Be Done. If the Tibetan leaders had just told their followers to ignore everything they had previously been taught and go out to kill as many Chinese as possible, I'm sure that with the Support Of Nature they would have thoroughly trounced an invading army that outnumbered their entire population. And if they had done this, not only would Tibet now be a shining example of an invincible nation, the coffers of Tibetan Buddhism would probably be as full as those of the TM movement. And if the Dalai Lama had been as quick to abandon his principles as Maharishi has been over the years, I'm sure that he (the Dalai Lama) would not be the laughingstock he is considered worldwide, whereas Maharishi is universally revered and respected.

Which breaking rocks I consider jail work, not fun. That someone is a TB of Ben Creme is pretty much all I need to peg someone as impossible. I some cults are a substitute for the looney bin which is good. Other than that I don't get how someone can believe such lying filth. Which makes the case for me that truth will never be perceived.

Here's a fun little news item: Hindu News Today's Headlines Six hurt as followers of two seers clash 2005-02-09 Published by The Hindu Gathered by Press Trust of India ALLAHABAD,FEBRUARY 9: At least six people were injured in a clash between followers of two seers at the Magh Mela area near here, police said on wednesday. Trouble erupted last night when devotees of Dwarka Sharda Peeth Shankaracharya Swaroopananda Saraswati barged into the camp of Jyotishpeeth Badrikashram Pontiff Vasudevananda Saraswati to serve a court order to the latter, Circle Officer Rajesh Yadav, told PTI here. The followers of both camps came to blows and the situation was brought under control only after a police party reached the site and used mild force to quell the mob. Police lodged an FIR on behalf of Swami Vasudevananda accusing Swami Sswaroopananda and his followers of creating disturbance at his camp and assaulting his devotees, Yadav said. Tension has been brewing for some time between the two seers over the issue of control of the Jyotishpeeth Badrikashram, which is at present controlled by Swami Vasudevananda.

The most important long-term reason to invade Iraq was to create military bases there in order to have a friendly place to position American troops in order to bring pressure to bear on China, or so the PNAC white paper, signed off by everybody who was anybody in the first BW administration, says, including Brother Jeb. I heard oil control as well to China, Europe and Japan.

I imagine that there is still active espionage going on or it is so controversial there will be some time till it is released.

If you read a summary, all you get is a war story. The whole book is online: http://www.bharatadesam.com/spiritual/mahabharata/index.php I read this edition in print many years ago, at the rate of a few pages a day, took me about a year to read. All Vedic knowledge is here in the frame-tale of a war story, in order to attract the tamasic tastes of people in the Kaliyuga.

An Alternative Sentencing Program utilizing the Transcendental Stress Management SM (TSMSM ) program for Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice Reform Dear Friends and Supporters of The Enlightened Sentencing Project: We are happy to bring you current news of our work here in St Louis with offenders and probationers sent by the courts. Fifty-five new TESP graduates Fifty-five offenders recently graduated from the TESP program. The men and women coming through the TESP program continue to have life- changing benefits and report these in their very inspiring course- completion essays. Our clients are as young as 19 years, right up to offenders in their 60s. Our clients are mixed, racially, with the majority being African-American males between the ages of 20 to 50. Some of our clients are homeless or illiterate. Some come to us as a last resort after going through the gamut of courses and programs traditionally used by the courts. Address by Joe M., TESP graduate and probationer, to federal Probation Officers Recently, Joe M. a 44 year old probationer gave a beautiful talk to a group of Federal Probation Officers. Joe described his career of crime from the time he was a juvenile and the numerous times he had been to prison. This time he was brought from prison for sentencing before the Hon. Judge Lisa Van Amburg. Joe said: My 76 year old mother was sitting in court crying for the umpteenth time while I was being sentenced. I expected a 20 year sentence when to my surprise Judge Amburg showed me some mercy and placed me in the TESP program. He then told his spellbound listeners of the numerous benefits he had experienced in his health and at work since being involved in the TESP program. Before I started meditating I had really bad acid indigestion and acid reflux but since starting this program I haven't taken any Zantac or any of that. My family gets migraine headaches and although I wouldn't get them too bad, every once in a while I'd get them. I don't get them any more. I never really had any friends before. I only had associates that I dealt drugs with or did crimes with. But I never really had any true friends. Thanks to this program I am making friends and meeting business contacts. I am kidding the people at Schnucks where I work that I'am going to be store manager by the time I am 45, which is next year. So I've a lot of work to do. I worked at Schnucks for a year and then I went to prison. When I got out I got my job back. Now I've been there since December 5 of last year. I was just selected as Associate of the Month at my store and everyone at work says that this is one of the quickest times they've seen anyone get this nomination. My mother is very proud of me. I take her to ball games now. She stood by me every time I went to prison. She sent me money and she's been there for me every time and I'll always love her and appreciate her for that. I've written letters to the editors of newspapers about this program. I'd write to the President if I thought it would help get more people down here for this program. It's been a miracle for me. My mom thinks some aliens came and got her son and put someone else in his place! Top TESP graduates address incoming offenders about to start the TESP program A new TESP course for offenders in St Louis starts about every six weeks. Typically, past graduates of TESP enthusiastically volunteer to talk to those newcomers who are required to attend our Orientation. These volunteers do a remarkable job telling the new offenders how their lives changed dramatically after going through TESP's Transcendental Stress Management program. Their stories are so compelling that in almost all cases the newcomer signs up for the next TESP course. Volunteers like Lawrence A. speak in the language of our grassroots clientele and convey the message like no one else can, colorfully and vividly! It is always a delight to find the skeptical newcomers make a complete turnaround in their attitude after hearing Lawrence, Joe and others talk to them. It is as if the testimony of their own brother had made all the difference!
