The leaders of a group appear to be the source of growth or restriction, but it 
is actually the average group consciousness that is directing their activity -- 
as MMY says, leaders are the footballs of group consciousness. We were glad to 
see that idiot Bush go, but the underlying average value of group consciousness 
is still incoherent, and not much good can happen.

The story goes that when Bevan was thin he used to get ill
because of all the flying around and irregular hours he did
running the TMO. 

So Marshy instructed him to put on weight to give him some 
protection from imbalances. Being a good and devoted disciple
he followed the instruction to the letter and perhaps a bit
too much.

The story also goes that Bev could often be seen in a track-
suit jogging round Vlodrop wheezing "Maharishi's orders" to 
anyone who raised an eyebrow.

Just as an aside, one thing I have noticed
in my travels in the spiritual marketplace
is that very, very often when someone has
sucked up enough to have risen to the posi-
tion of "right hand man" to a charismatic 
spiritual teacher, and has begun to use that 
position to act as a petty tyrant, the person 
is fat. Often grossly fat.

It's almost as if there is a "law of nature"
that says that the biggest toadies come to
physically resemble big toads.

As Shemp suggests, I was there and interacted
with "Thin Bevan," too. I don't agree with him the
about the "natural leader" part, and I, for one,
was not surprised when his outer being began to
swell to match the size of his ego.

One of the spiritual teachers I worked with (who
admittedly was a bit of a fitness nut) had an 
interesting take on obesity. His opinion was that
being overweight -- especially grossly overweight
-- was an indication of unhappiness. In his view,
those who are grossly overweight are trying to
"fill a hole" inside them by eating that can only
really be filled by self realization and self
acceptance.

I tend to think he was onto something. This matches
my perception of Bevan Morris precisely, both back 
in the "Thin Bevan" period and in the later "Fat
Bevan" period. He *always* struck me as one of
the unhappiest people I'd ever met, drawn to being
a Petty Tyrant because he got off on imposing his

I know I must have some personal issue with Bevan, of which, I'm not sure why...
I just feel, he's had an overall restrictive feeling for the movement, for 
maybe it's just my reminiscing about another time and place...

That was kind of what I was saying, in the 'Reincarnation Cycles'...
In other words, if one had an enormous amount of karma to balance out, that 
soul, might choose a path, to really get them to close to someone, who could 
help them with that task...
If they had followed a 'False Prophet' before, they might want to follow a true 
prophet now...


'Gaining weight, is a way of shielding one from pain...
Layers of coats of arms...'

And if this soul, has so much pain to carry, and he found no other way to 
shield himself, from the pain...

And was causing a feeling of restriction within himself, and the  feeling of 
the rigidity of the movement, since Bevan and the others kind of set the thing 
the way it has been...just very rigid, I guess...?

So, whomever was this 'Genius of the Reich' the Propaganda Ministry...
The Ministry of Enlightenment...Joseph Goebbels, remained Hitler's 'right-hand 
man, 'till the very end...he made himself to be responsible for the disposal of 
the bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun
He assumed the role of Der Fuerer, for one day...

On that next day, Goebbels wife, had their four children, put to sleep first, 
before taking her own life, as Herr Goebbels, took the poison pill, at the end, 
then their bodies cremated outside the 'Bunker'...
Thus, ended Herr Goebbels life, at the very end of the end of Nazism in 
Germany...April, 1945..

So, I was just thinking, because of his devotion to a master, and his mastery 
of propaganda...would put this soul, close to a master, who was about 'Power 
and Taking Over the World'...
So, Bevan fit the part, that Maharishi wanted him to play...
But, when I see pictures of the people gathered in Holland, around the tables, 
it just reminds me of a meeting, perhaps typical in around 1936, before the 
horror of the war, and all the rest...
That it really reminds me of the same people, same setting, as this past life 
Nazi meeting, in Berlin...

Also, the notion, that many souls, involved in the horror of the 'Nazi Era' and 
absorbed it's complete failure, at the end...had and do have a 'Great Desire' 
to neutralize their lessons, and their karmas, from that past time...

People who might have died, during the war, and didn't see the eventual end, 
might be the one's who still cling to the 'Nazi Way'...
Some of these 'Reich Wing Republicans' and the Corporates'...still fell that 
the 'Old World Fascism' might still be a 'Viable Option'...?

>(snip)

I remember one of the more memorable comments, in the film, 'Invincible, 
2001'...
Is from a scene, on Herr Hanussen's Yacht'...
A scene from the 'Floating Orgy'...of early Nazidom...

The scene opens with Himmler in the backround, drinking wine from a whores 
shoe...
He is kind of a gross kind of guy...

This cuts to the head of the Berlin Police, the Chief, Herr Helldorf...

He is speaking with Herr Goebbels...on the yacht...it's early in 1933..
The Sky's are Grey and windy...in the background...

He is relating to something he saw, that morning...of a  Japanese man, who had 
bet, something like $500,000 on a gambling game, early that... morning...

 All the money he put on...'Black' on 'Spinning Wheel'...

The ball on the wheel, fell to the color, 'Red'...and he lost...

So, said, Count Helldorf, to Herr Goebbels...

Ya, know the man, well, he just 'Blushed, just a little bit'...
'He had some class, some sense of proportion, a sense of humor, something which 
you Nazis lack...
I hope you, lose this damn war,  that you will start...

Well, said, Goebbels, 'Ya, know, it's very easy to just 'Blush', when you 
own...5000 acres of land and two castles, isn't it?'...
So, it's no big deal,  Count Helldorf, is it?


So...
That's been the 'Tone' of the 'TM Movement' by Bevan H. Morris...

Too serious all the time, too discriminating all the time, towards the 
so-called 'Lower Classes', or anyone with a sense of humor, or a sense of self, 
that would necessestae not bowing down to 'Herr Bevan...
 
Strange?

I wonder when everyone got hypnotized, anyone remember, exactly?
Maybe every time he talks, in that 'Hypnotic Tone'...
You are getting sleepy, your eye lids are feeling very heavy...
You feel tired...
You want to sleep...
You want to fall deep into a deep trance...
I am Bevan, and you will follow my instructions, to the letter...

I'm not beating up on fatty, if you were thinking that. In fact, although I 
rarely like what Bevan has to say, he does make realistic comments on the 
Maharishi Channel which calmly bring some of Hagelin's and others' loopier 
comments more down to earth. And Bevan is simply the best sort of manager that 
an organization full of goofs could tolerate. 

And being obese is a real problem with severe consequences for managerial 
functioning, not something that is merely unsightly -- older obese people have 
poorer brain functioning:

Expanding waistlines may cause shrinking brains http://snipurl.com/romed  
[www_newscientist_com] 

BRAIN regions key to cognition are smaller in older people who are obese 
compared with their leaner peers, making their brains look up to 16 years older 
than their true age. As brain shrinkage is linked to dementia, this adds weight 
to the suspicion that piling on the pounds may up a person's risk of the brain 
condition

On my 6 month course (Barry Wright was on it, too) in St. Moritz in 1977, Bevan 
was the liason between Seelisburg and our course; he'd come about once a month.

At the time, he was totally normal weight.  He was about 5'10" and about 170 
lbs.  Good looking fellow who was the most natural leader I have ever met 
before or since in my life.  And inspiring.

That's why all that happened afterwards is so surprising to me...all the 
stories of him being so evil and all that.

ie
like the people here who enjoy beating up on fatty

. Whether Bevan falls into that characterization or not, it's not surprising 
that the TM Prime Minister overeats as a stress reaction to all the unpleasant 
people in the movement. When TM becomes more popular, mainstream members of 
society will start to outnumber the fringers who have so far mainly peopled the 
movement (not that the average human being is anything to write home about in 
the Kaliyuga).

all his activity in the direction of enlightenment was intensely "against the 
grain" of Kaliyuga. So that creates a kind of spiritual friction and heat, the 
heat of tapas.you eat sweet taste to counteract all the intense heat that gets 
created by that.

Early adopters of TM were predominately eccentric or misfits. Whether Bevan 
falls into that characterization or not, it's not surprising that the TM Prime 
Minister overeats as a stress reaction to all the unpleasant people in the 
movement. When TM becomes more popular, mainstream members of society will 
start to outnumber the fringers who have so far mainly peopled the movement 
(not that the average human being is anything to write home about in the

Simple: too much food. And, of course, with my paleo diet bias and knowledge of 
what Roos eat, I put the blame on excessive consumption of sugars and starches.
