No, was judged to have been a morass of a different trouble that was chosen at 
the time to not open and git in.  These larger things of theirs in our 
collective past quickly get deflected by tru-believers in conversation.  Most 
often it is just dropped.  Is just how the dissonance of feeling is handled 
politely.  And more strictly, there is nothing particularly in the TM Dome 
guidelines that would exclude eligibility on the basis of what others might say 
on the internet.  Anyway, I'm a tru-believer like most of them.  I'm still a 
practitioner un-like some here, a conservative meditator from way back and one 
of the few to defend TM on this board.  NOw, Rick here on the other hand, some 
would really love to string-up for hosting such a negative Maharishi and TM 
site as FFL. You should hear the explication some of the real tru-believers 
utter about Rick Archer.  In process Rick probably could not git back in for 
the Dome meditation.  Though Rick is working moderating a discussion with John 
Hagelin this month at a West Coast conference.  As meditators, we all git along 
by choice.

That is really quite a program with so many spiritual heavy-weights of the 
modern time.  It will be interesting to see how John Hagelin chooses to fit in. 
 It's also grown to be a very sophisticated marketplace. At this Science and 
Nonduality venue some of people may know something about TM.  At a similar 
academic venue I was at last week out East the scholarly folks there knew 
hardly nothing about TM or Fairfield.  It was interesting to hear these people 
in reaction to my being from TM and my having lived in the TM community for 40 
years.  TM pretty much disappeared from the 1980's and on in popular culture.  
Basically anyone under 40 never heard of it let alone a spiritual Fairfield.  
TM by Maharishi's design skipped almost two generations.  Then for people over 
40 it was only faintly something about the Beatles and something about the 
money.

 I agree. It is even more interesting to see the ones
 who honestly don't care. They *don't care* whether
 what they say on a regular basis reflects poorly
 on TM or the TMO, as long as they can score points
 in their imaginary battles.

But in fact, Barry wouldn't know anything about these
people because, as he tells us repeatedly, he doesn't
read their posts. 

 Can you imagine what a real lurker with real spiritual
 aspirations must think of the TM TBs here? This forum 
 must have resulted in hundreds of such lurkers vowing 
 never to have anything to do with TM, based on their
 own assessment of how 30-year meditators turned out.

Barry seems to believe a TMer should take pains to
behave in such a way as to meet the expectations of
lurkers, even if that means their behavior is
inauthentic, and even though the premise that behavior
(or, rather, someone else's opinion thereof) reflects
development of consciousness is explicitly disavowed in
MMY's teaching.

In the Gita 2:54, Arjuna asks Krishna:

What are the signs of a man whose intellect is steady,
who is absorbed in the Self, O Krishna? How does the
man of steady intellect speak, how does he sit, how
does he walk?

In response, Krishna goes on for 18 verses describing
the signs of a man...who is absorbed in the Self
without ever mentioning any of the objective
characteristics Arjuna has asked about, or any others
that could be discerned by somebody else. He lists
only *subjective* characteristics.

Maharishi comments on verse 55:

This verse does not record any outer sign of the man
whose intellect is steady and who is established in
the Self, because there cannot be any outer sign to
show that a man is absorbed deep within himself. The
inner state of such a man cannot be judged by outer
signs.

Barry used to be a TM teacher, but it appears he's
forgotten this seminal point of what he learned from
MMY.

P.S.: It's fine if Barry wishes to *disagree* with this
point. But it's dishonest for him to pretend that TMers
should agree with him and not MMY (and Krishna), and that
if they don't adjust their behavior to match Barry's
standards, they cannot be said to be developing their
consciousness via TM according to *MMY's* standard.

In fact, what Barry is really hoping to accomplish
is to stifle TMers' criticisms of himself, by
portraying such behavior as antithetical to
development of consciousness.

However, of course, if Barry wants to maintain that
behavior reflects development of consciousness, he has
to adopt that same premise with regard to his own
behavior and therefore the effectiveness of whatever
he's been practicing, over *40* years.

Given the nature of that behavior, he might want to
think again.

guffaw Missed this first time around.

It represents a contradiction found often in Barry's
posts. On one hand, he tries to portray the posts of
his TMer critics here (as Doug does above) as having
no effect whatsoever, including on lurkers; they're
deluded, he maintains, about their influence.

On the other hand, as we see in the post I'm
commenting on, when it suits his current putdown of
his TMer critics, their posts are so influential
that *hundreds* of lurkers have vowed never to have
anything to do with TM.

Again, the elephant in Barry's room, the only thing
he's really concerned about, is how *he* appears to
lurkers. In both cases, he's trying to influence his
critics to stifle their criticisms--either because 
(depending on what day it is) (1) lurkers pay no
attention to their posts, or (2) lurkers pay such
*close* attention to their posts that it puts them
off TM for good.

My guess: The more discerning lurkers are put off
*Barry* for good.

Oh, gee, I forgot the third leg of Barry's elephant.
In a whole *other* series of posts, he claims he is
actively attempting (by making mistakes of fact and
logic, among other things) to *elicit* criticisms
from TMers so he can point to their posts pointing
out those mistakes as horrible examples of what TM
practice accomplishes.

Maybe there's a fourth leg too that I've forgotten;
or maybe it's just a very unstable elephant.

I suspect some of the folks here think that India is filled with 
religious people doing pujas every day.  And the populace is VERY 
spiritual.  Well, my experience has been they are very materialistic, 
often even more so than Americans if you can believe that.  People here 
probably want to know from their horoscope when they're going to be 
enlightened but Indians want to know when they'll get a new job or get 
married or afford a house.  Bhagavan Das once said it was easier to do 
sadhana in the US than in India.  Go figure.

India is one place I think I could stand to live in rather than just 
visit.  To Shemp's chagrin, I would probably prefer Kerala because of 
it's proximity to the equator (nice weather year round except for 
monsoons),  clean modern cities, lack of beggars and of course a 
communist government though businesses seemed to be flourishing there 
and beggars turned into street merchants.  Go figure.

  But you never know. There could be a major expose in the
  works, right?
 
 Yeah, right, a major major expose.  
 

Well, actually it is mighty interesting to see who looks in and comes through 
FF and FFL.
Is also amusing to wonder who some people here think they are writing for here 
as their audience as they push the `send' button.

So when should we expect to see the expose?

But not amusing to you, because you don't read their
posts.

I agree. It is even more interesting to see the ones
who honestly don't care. They *don't care* whether
what they say on a regular basis reflects poorly
on TM or the TMO, as long as they can score points
in their imaginary battles. 

Can you imagine what a real lurker with real spiritual
aspirations must think of the TM TBs here? This forum 
must have resulted in hundreds of such lurkers vowing 
never to have anything to do with TM, based on their
own assessment of how 30-year meditators turned out.

 on 'messages'.

 From the `messages' you can insert these numbers into the message 
# 
 search box.  That will take you to the area of the archive of 
these

Yet even the CIA could not find the info that these guys have found 
and they could not destroy MMY

Louis: what exactly are you referring to regarding the CIA and the TMO 
and MMY?

What, specifically, has the CIA done?
