[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body, Questions
By e-mail, from out of town: Does anyone know who owns MUM? Are the TMO's properties in a trust? So how is Fairfield taking the news? Have ordinary affairs ground to a halt? Inquiring minds want to know? FW: How is this news affecting FF? Are people sad? Stunned? Relieved? Although for most purposes MMY has been dead for more than a decade, I assume that his physical survival has been essential for MUM and the TMO. Somehow, Hagelin doesn't seem likely to cut it as either a CEO or a guru. (I'm not sure he could still get a job as a physicist either, for that matter.) What do people think was the point of the daily pujas? Was MMY employing the energy they generated for his exit strategy? Any clues? Thanks,

OK, it may mark me as cynical, but this one made me laugh out loud. :-) I would bet that it would make *Maharishi* laugh out loud, were he here to hear it. It's just so perfect. For *decades* now, pretty much every piece of news or big event in the TM movement has been used as a prelude to and an excuse for a new fundraising drive. Asking for money is just what the TM movement DOES, at least so far. So this quip of MDixon's is actually very interesting, from a looking-at-the-TM-move- ment-from-a-detached-sociology-of-religion point of view. WILL the new powers that be turn Maharishi's death into a fundraising drive? WILL there be a call for donations to (for example) build all the big lingam monuments he wanted built? I really don't know. I'm curious to see how it will turn out. The TM movement has reacted to pretty much *every* event that raises public awareness of its existence in recent decades with a fundraising drive. Will it do so again, or will it do something different? It's some- thing to be watched...

The magical thinking, the vast dreams. All the superfulous burnt away. The essence left. Recollecting over the years, 40 years and a few months since I fell for him and his world at 17. An enduring and endearing memory is his so often flowing refrain in the long lines of flower givers and well wishers. Enjoying? hmm -- the smile with a faint impish grin -- the pitch rising with the hmm -- turning the question into a confirmation, an observation, an instruction, a deep silent teaching, a celebration -- almost as if he would take the flower with one hand, and silently raise a silent, deeper counterpart of the flower straight through up the heart, delicate but boldly -- like starting pushpanjalim. That is all he asked. For us to enjoy. Asking with one-on-one concern and caring. And on the other hand, gently, non-obtrusively commanding us, a sweet imperative, offering to us -- to enjoy. On this day, its natural to feel some level of gratitude and debt -- to have enjoyed his presence for awhile. It was quite some trip. Regardless of whatever. For me, I feel that he will be quite happy and satisfied if I can simply smile and nod yes -- (am) enjoying. A life worth living, a life well lived, if anyone can simply say I enjoyed. That, in my view, is all he really ever asked. Welcome back, new. Glad to have you and your insights back with us again. Sal

Any confirmation from anywhere else?
[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body
When I was a seventeen-year-old high school dropout, not a single adult was able to reach me or guide me. No one in my family or former school, no one at work. Then came this small Indian man, from a culture about which I knew nothing, and he spoke to me so directly, with such simple clarity, that he transformed my life completely. He opened my eyes to so many things that would otherwise have been closed to me. His was the most deep, the most lasting spiritual and intellectual influence on my life. This is not something I can ever forget. A huge presence has left our world today. I thank Maharishi for the knowledge he gave me when I knew nothing, and the fact that I am now able to steer my own ship in life is a tribute to the foundation of knowledge that he laid in me, all those years ago, when I was young, ignorant and alone.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body
A man like that always picks a significant moment to die--significant to those,
that is, who are left behind. You can see this in the death of parents and
grandparents also. The significance of the moment is not always immediately
apparent, but it is there.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body
When I was a seventeen-year- old high school dropout, not a single
adult was able to reach me or guide me. No one in my family or former
school, no one at work. Then came this small Indian man, from a
culture about which I knew nothing, and he spoke to me so directly,
with such simple clarity, that he transformed my life completely. He
opened my eyes to so many things that would otherwise have been closed
to me. His was the most deep, the most lasting spiritual and
intellectual influence on my life. This is not something I can ever
forget. A huge presence has left our world today. I thank Maharishi
for the knowledge he gave me when I knew nothing, and the fact that I
am now able to steer my own ship in life is a tribute to the
foundation of knowledge that he laid in me, all those years ago, when
I was young, ignorant and alone. A rarer spirit never / Did steer
humanity, and future ages will honor it.

I was an 18-year-old stressed out SOB who entertained any poison into my body as long as it felt good. A month after I was initiated, I transcended during meditation. What an incredible technique that it was able to give me that experience despite the pollution of my nervous system. And it was effortless. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, feste37 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When I was a seventeen-year-old high school dropout, not a single adult was able to reach me or guide me.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body
The death of anyone important to me has always been a life-giving and
life-expanding moment, and to be truly present with anyone at the moment of
their death is a great gift--at least, that is how I have always felt. Maybe
that's because I saw so much death all around me as a child when I had as yet
not internalized all the negative attitudes of our culture and my view of the
world was as yet not divided between physical and non-physical, or, maybe,
because I was with my grandmother who met life and death with a calmness I have
rarely seen.
In the case of someone like MMY the moment he chose would have significance to
many in personal ways, but there would also be a group effect. The latter is
too soon to tell, at least by me. In personal terms, the news of his death
came at the same time as news from the teachers I trained in China. They have
organized and have made a commitment to me to stick with me until my method
becomes well known there. That news came as I was slaving over the grant
application and thinking, do I really want this grant when my heart is in the
China project? The chances of getting any grant are always minuscule, but my
track record of getting the grants I've applied for is 100%. So I'll follow
through on this one, but if I get it, I'll accept it only if it doesn't
interfere with the China project. If my method does succeed in China, it will
spread all over the world, and I know it will succeed in China. The teacher
who the leader of the others is amazing.
After I left, she won first place for best kindergarten teacher in China five
times in a row. If she teaches my method, there will be many others who will
want to teach it, I am sure. And this method entails a completely changed view
of Language than the one we now hold---no small thing in the field of
consciousness studies.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Maharishi drops the body
It's truly the end of an era. Sal And the beginning of a new era. Perhaps a portion, a stream of which is that it is the era of our adulthood. The magical thinking, the vast dreams. All the superfulous burnt away. The essence left. Recollecting over the years, 40 years and a few months since I fell for him and his world at 17. An enduring and endearing memory is his so often flowing refrain in the long lines of flower givers and well wishers. Enjoying? hmm -- the smile with a faint impish grin -- the pitch rising with the hmm -- turning the question into a confirmation, an observation, an instruction, a deep silent teaching, a celebration -- almost as if he would take the flower with one hand, and silently raise a silent, deeper counterpart of the flower straight through up the heart, delicate but boldly -- like starting pushpanjalim. That is all he asked. For us to enjoy. Asking with one-on-one concern and caring. And on the other hand, gently, non-obtrusively commanding us, a sweet imperative, offering to us -- to enjoy. On this day, its natural to feel some level of gratitude and debt -- to have enjoyed his presence for awhile. It was quite some trip. Regardless of whatever. For me, I feel that he will be quite happy and satisfied if I can simply smile and nod yes -- (am) enjoying. A life worth living, a life well lived, if anyone can simply say I enjoyed. That, in my view, is all he really ever asked.
