Apparently, Barry has spent probably over 50,000 dollars on cult activity since 1967. So, if the amount of money a person donates to cults is any indication of a person's spiritualty, then Barry must be on the level of a saint. Now that Barry is broke and old, sure he wants to know what happened to all the money! But what he should be so worried about, is what happened to his life, and how is he going to afford a nursing home with no money. "So when you claimed all the $5,000 covered was being "ushered into a room containing nothing but $14.95 worth of wiring and cheap, one-ear transistor radio headphones plugged into a tape recorder and then listened to Maharishi give us the technique," that wasn't correct. The $5,000 *also* covered your room and board for however long you were in residence."

Anybody but Barry think it's fascinating that Lawson and I (and a lot of others) don't feel the need to play chorus to the umpteenth iteration of the same verse just to feed Barry's insatiable need for reinforcement of his self-importance? In other words: As Shemp and Alex both pointed out, the "Maharishi and the Money" issue has been discussed *endlessly* on FFL and alt.m.t and other TM-related forums, probably more than any other. That Barry thinks it's a hot topic everyone is urgently required to weigh in on at this point is peculiar, to say the least. He sounds like a newbie who hasn't bothered to read any of the traffic, except that *his own posts* on the issue comprise a significant chunk of that traffic. In any case, he already asked his burning question in negative form: "Let's phrase it a different way. Is there ANYONE here who believes that how much money you have is a valid indicator of your spiritual evolution? Anyone?" Nobody responded with a "Yes!" But somehow that wasn't enough for Barry; in his mind, we were all required to defend the view that we *didn't* believe that: "If not, why did you put up with a movement that was structured around that idea for so many years?" Which was kind of a strange question with reference to Lawson and myself, given that Barry put up with a movement structured around that idea for years with a far greater degree of involvement than either of us had. (I asked him how many years it had been, to no response, of course.)

Isn't it fascinating that she and Lawson have chosen the path of "Let's spend post after post ragging on Barry and maybe no one will notice that we have not said a word about the 'Maharishi and the Money' issue?" Seems that even the "defenders of the faith" don't want to get involved with the money issue. Could it possibly be that even they know that MMY's and TMO's stance with regard to the importance that money had for him was indefensible? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/186501 It's easy to ignore the barbs from these yahoos as the distractions they are. What's surprising is how cowardly the True Believers get when someone points out what exactly they believe in.

No no no. Barry has already graciously explained to us that when he uses a smiley face, it means he's laughing at what he's writing. So we are to interpret the lack of a smiley face in this instance to mean that he was joking about the software duel, but the joke wasn't funny.

Shemp didn't say you had lied, nor did I, with regard to not reading our posts. We're both making fun of your tendency to posture, you see, to pretend to be above it all, when in fact it's just an excuse to avoid dealing with it when you get nailed and you can't come up with a what you think is a snappy comeback.

She had called to complain that a couple in the next building left their window open while they made love. But the cops peered out the window and couldn't see anything except an appartment building about 1/2 a mile away. And the woman is holding a pair of binoculars and says to the cops: "Of course you can't see them...you have to use these!" Barry loves to sneer down on us, the little people, and tell us that he will, henseforth, no longer lower himself by reading our posts. But then, of course, he obsessively reads every one of them.

On my first day working at an academy I was excited to be going into the presence of so many enlightened beings. It was a bit of a shock when I got there, my first thought was that it was a cross between One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest and the Addams Family. I presume you mean a TM academy. I've been dealing with this issue too. I look back at various periods in my TM history and see myself as being really nuts. Then again, I wasn't too sane before learning TM, and I'm still glad I did it. But these days, seeing my nuttiness more clearly seems to be part of a process of rooting it out once and for all. Let's hope.

At this point, the only person whose posts I hit 'Next' on the moment they appear is Willytex. Everyone else I give a break to and read the first three or four lines before I hit 'Next.' If it's amusing, or the person is making an absolute ass of themselves, I might read even more. If it makes you feel any better, you have made it to "absolute ass" status several times lately, so I've read each of those posts all the way through. Don't you feel more appreciated now?

Don't know about cult-member unless it's the Cult of Barry, and it's never really been clear whether he's delusional and really believes what he says, or is very well aware that he lies constantly. If it's the latter, he's still delusional in that he has convinced himself nobody will see through the lies--just like John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Elliott Spitzer, et al. Except that Barry doesn't have the excuse that he's constantly surrounded by grinning sycophants who tell him he's invulnerable (well, there's Geeze...). He's always lied, but he used to do a better job of it, at least.

Barry has *got* to be joking if he thinks there's some kind of duel going on between post count programs. I'm trying to take over the post count duty from Bhairitu, using his PHP script, and we're just working out the kinks. We tried to sync my script with his, using his data file, and my hunch is that his *nix-generated hdrs08092008.txt file didn't work right on my Windows machine (the formatting is a little different). It seems like there are some slight differences between PHP running on *nix vs. PHP running on Windows, and I betcha that the script running on my machine will work just fine, starting on Friday, with the beginning of a new week cycle. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB wrote: > > > You've even got "dueling post > > count programs," fighting it out for supremacy > > and shouting, "You're a LIAR -- MY count is > > correct and yours is WRONG" at each other. > > > > This place is a ZOO. >

Or does the above amount to swearing that you aren't ever going to make that vow again? If so, good move, but one you should have made a long time ago, since making and breaking it over and over again really made you look quite silly. So...now that you've admitted the truth--that you don't have the self-discipline to refrain from talking to or about me--might this be a sign that you're ready to begin to acknowledge all your other lies (starting with those you tell about yourself)? That would be such a hopeful development. Maybe the Maharishi Effect really *is* working!

It is a sacred duty to laugh at insanity, and I've been letting down the team lately. -- Barry Wright, 8/11/2008 ( The silly bitch has my permission to use this new quote any time she wants. )

Uh, no, Bob didn't say that. By "no big deal," he meant that it won't become a "major international issue," although it would, of course, be a disaster for the victims of the war.

I'm supposed to respond to my own claim?? How does that work, exactly? You've got people trying > to demonize Rick because someone *else* hasn't > published the book they're not going to believe > a word of anyway. Uh, no, nobody demonized Rick. The person being "demonized" is the one who told Rick she was going to write the book. You've even got "dueling post > count programs," fighting it out for supremacy > and shouting, "You're a LIAR -- MY count is > correct and yours is WRONG" at each other. Actually, the person running one of the programs has said the other program is to be taken as correct until he fixes his so they both have the same counts. > This place is a ZOO.

Leaving Barry with only *one* FFL TM practitioner on whom to base his claim that TM doesn't produce an increased ability to think rationally--which, it would appear, is balanced out by Barry's own propensity to hallucinate and blame his hallucinations on others. Oh, yes, and: "My plan is to lay low, and say nothing either to [Judy] or about her. I may or may not succeed at this..." --Barry Wright, 7/23/08
