[FairfieldLife] Re: Posting Limits
This is such deep and elaborate fantasy from Barry that there's no real way to address it. It's a function of how threatened he was by Robin. Barry's response to feeling threatened has always been to go to insane extremes to demonize the person who threatens him, no matter how far from reality he has to go. This post is an example. I'm just going to pick out a couple of points that are representative of the unreality of Barry's portrayal of Robin: *From my point of view*, Robin barely tolerated his groupies here. He almost never had any long conversations with either Judy or Ann, preferring to save himself for more classic NPD goals. Barry is literally unable to imagine that Robin could have made use of other ways of communicating with the people on FFL he wanted to talk to besides via FFL. That's how badly Barry needs to believe Robin barely tolerated Ann and me. Both of us had extensive friendly contact with Robin via email (initiated by him, as it happens). I'm guessing we weren't the only ones, but others will have to confirm that. And of course Barry's wrong even just regarding Robin's interactions on FFL. He had long conversations with both Ann and me, as well as with Raunchy and Emily and Paligap and others (most notoriously Share). Somehow Barry's point of view manages to exclude all that. And this is factual stuff, not just opinion, that Barry has completely wrong. He wanted to win over those he perceived as having some charisma or personal power, and convert *them* to become his admirers/disciples. At this he failed miserably, and they laughed at him. Not able to handle that, he switched over to Abuse Mode again, and tried the same act Judy has been running for years -- yell at people and insult and abuse them and accuse them of things *until* they respond by arguing with him. He failed at that, too, and then when Curtis blew him off and he realized how badly his act was bombing, he ran away and hid. Again. Running away and hiding seems to be the only thing Robin Carlsen was ever good at. All the above is just bonkers. It's SO bonkers I seriously doubt even Barry believes it. If anyone wants me to expand on this, let me know. The very *idea* of anyone being jealous of Robin Carlsen just doesn't compute, if you any degree of perception going for you. How could someone possibly be jealous of a dangerously disturbed psychopath? This is the key. If Barry can make Robin into a dangerously disturbed psychopath in his fantasies, then he doesn't have to acknowledge how jealous he was. He does the same kind of thing with me, albeit not to quite such extremes. I'm pointing this all out again for the benefit of possible newbie lurkers. Quite a few people on this forum thought Robin was crazy as a loon. Some of them knew him back in the day, and agreed with my assessment that *nothing had changed*, and that he was as abusive and manipulative in the present as he was in the past. They made their views of him -- both past and present -- very clear. Newbie lurkers should know that the only FFL regular who knew Robin back in the day was Ann, who obviously does not agree with Barry's assessment. One person, LordKnows, showed up briefly on FFL to denounce Robin back in August 2012, more than a year after Robin had joined FFL. One other showed up around the same time to leave a post peddling a book he'd written about his experiences with Robin's group; that person's wife, Brahmi, left a single hit-and-run post demonizing Robin. So it's seriously (and deliberately) misleading for Barry to say some of the people on this forum agreed with him. Note further how ludicrous it is for Barry to have an assessment of whether Robin had changed from 30-plus years ago in the first place, given that Barry had never encountered Robin until June 2011 here on FFL. The insane illogic of that claim is one more sign that he simply isn't reading from reality. So don't fall for the sugar-coated fantasies of him trotted out by his remaining two cult groupies here. They're still trying to find some way to justify why they glommed on to and defended a psychopath, and to put down the much larger number of posters who figured out he was one within a few days of his arrival on the forum. Actually Ann and I feel no need to justify our appreciation of Robin; and Barry would be extremely hard-put to establish that there was a much larger number of posters who thought Robin was crazy than who thought he was prettty neat. Robin had more fans here than Barry is willing to acknowledge, and not all that many enemies. Robin was (still is, presumably) a very powerful personality, there's no question about that, also ferociously intelligent. It appears to me that folks who are basically insecure are the most likely to react to him negatively, while those who have more self-confidence are capable of appreciating him as he is.

That's how badly Barry needs to believe Robin barely tolerated Ann and me. Both of us had extensive friendly contact with Robin via email (initiated by him, as it happens). I'm guessing we weren't the only ones, but others will have to confirm that. And of course Barry's wrong even just regarding Robin's interactions on FFL. He had long conversations with both Ann and me, as well as with Raunchy and Emily and Paligap and others (most notoriously Share). Somehow Barry's point of view manages to exclude all that. */ /* *And this is factual stuff, not just opinion, that Barry has completely wrong. * */ /* */He wanted to win over those he perceived as having some charisma or personal power, and convert *them* to become his admirers/disciples. /* */ At this he failed miserably, and they laughed at him. Not able to handle that, he switched over to Abuse Mode again, and tried the same act Judy has been running for years -- yell at people and insult and abuse them and accuse them of things *until* they respond by arguing with him. He failed at that, too, and then when Curtis blew him off and he realized how badly his act was bombing, he ran away and hid. Again.

If Barry can make Robin into a dangerously disturbed psychopath in his fantasies, then he doesn't have to acknowledge how jealous he was. He does the same kind of thing with me, albeit not to quite such extremes. I'm pointing this all out again for the benefit of possible newbie lurkers. Quite a few people on this forum thought Robin was crazy as a loon. Some of them knew him back in the day, and agreed with my assessment that *nothing had changed*, and that he was as abusive and manipulative in the present as he was in the past. They made their views of him -- both past and present -- very clear.* */ /* *Newbie lurkers should know that the only FFL regular who knew Robin back in the day was Ann, who obviously does not agree with Barry's assessment. One person, LordKnows, showed up briefly on FFL to denounce Robin back in August 2012, more than a year after Robin had joined FFL. One other showed up around the same time to leave a post peddling a book he'd written about his experiences with Robin's group; that person's wife, Brahmi, left a single hit-and-run post demonizing Robin.* * * *So it's seriously (and deliberately) misleading for Barry to say some of the people on this forum agreed with him.* * * *Note further how ludicrous it is for Barry to have an assessment of whether Robin had changed from 30-plus years ago in the first place, given that Barry had never encountered Robin until June 2011 here on FFL. The insane illogic of that claim is one more sign that he simply isn't reading from reality.* */So don't fall for the sugar-coated fantasies of him trotted out by his remaining two cult groupies here.

So pretty much the only things I had to judge him by were his posts. And the posts, from Day One, were insane. Stark, raving bonkers. I don't think I've encountered a more classic example of abusive Narcissistic Personality Disorder in my life. /* Robin is one of those figures that is frequently mentioned in TM lore - the first fully enlightened man to come out of the TMO. Apparently Robin hired a helicopter to distribute leaflets over the MUM campus announcing his state of enlightenment to all the residents and students. There was a query posted years ago on Google Groups asking if anyone had heard anything about Robin, but there was no reply. So, he seemed to have dropped off the radar. As far as I can tell, Robin formed a group up in Canada for awhile, but it apparently blew up in his face. Ann would probably know more about this. Apparently Ann was under his spell for quite some time. According to what I've read, Robin became enamored with the Ayatollah Khomeini over in Iran, and wrote a half-dozen small booklets in praise of the cleric. That alone would lead any intelligent person to question Robin's state of mind. When that didn't pan out, as he expected, he joined the Catholic Church to become a priest. Then, for some reason we don't know, he came here after thirty years and started posting long messages about Catholicism. */ He was almost completely self-absorbed, and didn't seem to give a shit about the people he was supposedly conversing with (the wall of words being a classic example of both). And he was manipulative to the max. The more stories that came out about his past, and how manipulative and abusive he'd been as a minor cult leader, the more obvious it was that *nothing had changed*, and that he was still trying to run the same numbers on naive FFLers. So I wrote him off. I've spent far too much time with crazy, abusive people to want to spend any time conversing with another one. /* You may be correct about this - Robin seemed to be attempting to recruit some informants for his own use. He easily recruited Judy and Ann to help him form a new Robin cult. There was some resistance from you and I and from Steve, but he mostly ignored us and concentrated mainly on Judy and Ann, who seemed to be his main enablers. They probably looked like easy prey to Robin. Judy seemed to be really in thrall at his postings and engaged him on many levels, seemingly to encourage him in his recruiting efforts. That is, until he turned on her and exposed her in a long farewell message, which Judy took to be a spoof. */ The thing that surprised me, however, was how some people on FFL *fell for his act*. Some actually seemed to be able to plow through his narcissistic stuck-in-his-mind egobabble, and some seemed to actually like it. I wrote that off as, There's simply no accounting for taste. /* Robin is a master manipulator that's fer sure. But, it's not a matter of taste - it's a clear case of mind control. We've seen this in several cases before, and nobody could see this more clearly than yourself. You seem to be a master yourself - at recognizing master manipulators. All those years of studying the tactics of mind controllers has really paid off in your case! */ But a few -- most notably Judy and Ann -- actually fell for his act enough to become *disciples*. They fawned over him like teenagers stalking a rock star, seemingly unaware that the only rock star Robin was the counterpart of was Fat Elvis. I felt mainly embarrassed for these people, and fearful for what their failure to see how crazy he was said about what TM had done to them. The *lack* of discrimination was downright scary. /* This still remains the case. Just read some of the messages posted in Robin's defense by Judy and Ann.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Posting Limits
Ahem. Let's hear what the self-proclaimed resident expert on everything said about posting limits back during the period when they were being debated as a way to get HER and two other idiots to stop making 100-150 posts per week and STFU: If anybody thinks Barry would be so insistently-- and *nastily*--complaining about the top posters here if they were critical of TM and supportive of Barry, rather than supportive of TM and critical of Barry, I have a nice bridge you might want to have a look at. - Judy Stein, Nov 3, 2006 In other words, making 150+ posts a week was just FINE with her, when she was making that many to stalk other people, as she's done consistently for almost 20 years. But when Richard cleverly turns the table on her and the other Mean Girls, suddenly *she's* the one trying to sell the posting limits bridge to other people. Can you say Karma, dude? I think you can. :-) Here she is proposing the *exact same strategy* currently being used against her so effectively by Richard (bold emphasis mine): I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but it's awfully convenient for Barry that the three top posters just happen to be among his chief critics here-- so he can try to intimidate us into silence under cover of complaining about how much we post. It would be fun to see what he'd do if we were to limit our posts to criticisms of him. - Judy Stein, Nov 2, 2006 Richard didn't even have to do that. Turns out he has *plenty* to say, about many topics, pretty much all of them more interesting than Judy Stein. All he had to do was up his quotient of posts criticizing Judy and she goes batshit crazy, and now (ironically) is one of the people screaming for posting limits again. The bottom line here is pretty simple, and pretty clear-cut: NO ONE but Judy's clone Ann seem to be the least bit bothered by Richard turning the tables and doing to her what she's done to so many others for so many years. NO ONE is rushing to her defense. Instead, pretty much everyone is kinda *enjoying* seeing her get a taste of her own medicine. Richard has, in fact, given the rest of us who've had to live with this woman's insanity for so long a kind of Christmas present, letting us see her demonstrate how badly she handles someone doing to her what she does to others.

weekly totals.

Regarding the continual efforts of Judy to prove Barry wrong, and his ongoing efforts to prove her wrong, that has become a hallmark around here - The Squabbling Seniors, I call it. Kinda fun, when I am in the mood to watch. Btw, I wrapped all the Christmas presents I gave this year in *meat-themed* wrapping paper - one looked like ground beef, or symmetrical corn dogs, or cuts of meat. Purchased from the Archie McPhee website.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Posting Limits
I'm not sure how you filter out a particular person's posts when you're reading on the Web site. If you're picking and choosing only a few posts to read of the traffic generally, as Barry claims he does, then working from Message View is the way to go. But if you're going from post to post via the Next button and want to read all but one person's posts, that doesn't work, obviously. In any case, as I go through the posts, I've always skipped quickly past Richard's. These days I do have to scan them briefly since he's into telling lies about me, and not all of them are instantly discernible as such by others. I need to know which of his trolls to shut down. But thankfully, he's now cooked his own goose by admitting what I've always pointed out about him: Nothing he says is to be taken seriously. So I don't need to do much more than use a macro citing that admission as a response to all the lies.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Posting Limits
In the case of Judy, she's probably busy creating macros. But,
seriously, if she isn't using Mozilla Thunderbird, she probably doesn't
even know ho to set a filter in Yahoo Mail, even if she wanted to. It
looks like she can't even figure out NEO and Yahoo Mail. Go figure.
But for someone with an obsession like Judy, she probably can't afford
to miss anything someone might say about her. She read every single post
here in real time by probably monitoring the group messages even while
she is editing for her clients. I wouldn't be surprised if her cell
phone is set to sound an alarm when she gets email, even in the middle
of the night. Have you noted her message response times? LoL!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Posting Limits
A whole truckload more dishonesty from Barry: Ahem. Let's hear what the self-proclaimed resident expert on everything said about posting limits back during the period when they were being debated as a way to get HER and two other idiots to stop making 100-150 posts per week and STFU: If anybody thinks Barry would be so insistently-- and *nastily*--complaining about the top posters here if they were critical of TM and supportive of Barry, rather than supportive of TM and critical of Barry, I have a nice bridge you might want to have a look at. - Judy Stein, Nov 3, 2006 In other words, making 150+ posts a week was just FINE with her, when she was making that many to stalk other people, as she's done consistently for almost 20 years. But when Richard cleverly turns the table on her and the other Mean Girls, suddenly *she's* the one trying to sell the posting limits bridge to other people. Can you say Karma, dude? I think you can. :-) Well, Barry can say that, but he knows it's not true. Back then the TM critics--especially Barry--were very busy stalking the TM defenders on FFL, and the latter were significantly outnumbered by the former. There were constant, prolonged battles over TM-related issues; both sides were much more militant than they are now. That's why the TM defenders were making so many posts: we were under siege. What I wrote above that Barry quotes was right on target. Here she is proposing the *exact same strategy* currently being used against her so effectively by Richard (bold emphasis mine): Effectively is in the eye of the wishful thinker. And of course I wasn't seriously proposing any strategy in what Barry quotes: I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but it's awfully convenient for Barry that the three top posters just happen to be among his chief critics here-- so he can try to intimidate us into silence under cover of complaining about how much we post. It would be fun to see what he'd do if we were to limit our posts to criticisms of him. - Judy Stein, Nov 2, 2006 Richard didn't even have to do that. Turns out he has *plenty* to say, about many topics, pretty much all of them more interesting than Judy Stein. All he had to do was up his quotient of posts criticizing Judy and she goes batshit crazy, and now (ironically) is one of the people screaming for posting limits again. Well, I'm not screaming for posting limits, as Barry knows. I said explicitly that it was vanishingly unlikely we would go back to them, for several reasons (and Alex has just confirmed one of them: he isn't willing to take on limits again). And as already noted in my earlier post, Richard's criticisms of (read: lies about) me are the least of the problem. The rest of his posts are mostly not that interesting, and Barry would never in a million years suggest they were if he weren't once again turning to the tried-and-true the enemy of my enemy is my friend tactic. It's the volume of Richard's insipid posts and trolls and lies--volume just for the sake of volume--that are making FFL so unpleasant. Attention troll was Barry's entirely apt term for Richard not very long ago. The bottom line here is pretty simple, and pretty clear-cut: Lies are frequently simpler and clearer-cut than the reality. They're designed to be. NO ONE but Judy's clone Ann seem to be the least bit bothered by Richard turning the tables and doing to her what she's done to so many others for so many years. Whoopsie-daisy. We don't know how many are bothered by Richard's excessive posting, first of all. They may not be speaking up because they don't want to become one of his targets. More importantly, Richard isn't turning the tables; what he's doing is vastly unlike what I do: his attacks consist almost exclusively of falsehoods. If I criticize somebody, I do it honestly. And Barry knows this. NO ONE is rushing to her defense. I don't need anyone to rush to my defense. I've never had any trouble handling attacks, especially ones that involve lies, as Barry knows to his sorrow. And Richard's attacks and lies are pretty pitiful. Instead, pretty much everyone is kinda *enjoying* seeing her get a taste of her own medicine. Uh-huh. We all know Barry has the siddhi of mass reading of minds, don't we, folks? My guess is that except for a few people like Feste and Share who have a big beef with me, Richard's posts (and my responses, when I make any other than the macro) are being ignored. Richard has, in fact, given the rest of us who've had to live with this woman's insanity for so long a kind of Christmas present, letting us see her demonstrate how badly she handles someone doing to her what she does to others. I therefore nominate Richard as FFL Santa of the Year. :-) Actually I've been handling Richard quite well, thank you, routinely shutting down most of his various trolling lies with that macro
[FairfieldLife] Re: Posting Limits
Sez Barry, knowing I didn't ask for posting limits, I pointed out to Ann that
we weren't going to get them (as Alex has confirmed). As he also knows, the
posting limits were not invented just for me by any means.
The sign of a chronic, compulsive stalker-liar is that he isn't selective in
what he lies about and ends up telling falsehoods that are ridiculously easily
refuted, making him even less credible.
I absolutely refuse to take it back on. If folks are too stupid or lazy to
just fucking filter out what they don't want to read, then they should go
offline and do something else. Stop expecting others to do simple shit you
can damn well do yourselves. Get a fucking grip, people.
I completely understand, and please remember that *I* am not the person asking
for posting limits again. Hilariously, it's the person who *they were invented
for* asking for them.
That said, I *can* think of a more low maintenance version of the Posting
Limit, should anyone want to take over your function. This version only
requires the moderator to look at one Post Count post per week, the one that
comes out after Friday night and that contains the weekly totals.
If anyone on it has gone over 75 posts, the moderator just blocks their address
and bans them from posting, FOREVER.
I already know who the first three people to go would be, and Richard wouldn't
be one of them. :-)

Especially if, *as they claim*, neither they nor anyone else here takes what any of us says seriously. I don't believe we made such a blanket claim, actually. About Barry and Richard, yes. I go after Barry because it's fun to expose him over and over again as someone who is not to be taken seriously, as I'm doing now. Seems to me they take it VERY seriously indeed. *They*, ironically, are the only ones now lobbying for posting limits to cut down the number of things said about them. Talk about Egos In A Panic. :-) Talk about one inflated but very shaky ego on a bender of wishful thinking. I wasn't lobbying for posting limits, as Barry knows, because it would be futile. And as I've already said, if the only posts Richard were making were the ones stalking Ann and me, we wouldn't have any problem dealing with that. The irony of it all is just too delicious. The very person the FFL Posting Limits were invented FOR Not, as Barry knows. is now crying like a baby Uh, no, Barry. I'm laughing at you, as usual. and calling for them again, Not, as Barry knows. to keep someone from doing to her what *she* was doing to many others back when they first invented the Posting Limits to get *her* to lighten up. As I've already noted, and as Barry knows, I don't lie when I criticize somebody, nor do I troll. Richard does both, so he is NOT doing to me what I've done to others. It's amazing the number of lies Barry can churn out in just a few posts, isn't it? Thanks again for the Christmas present, Richard. :-)

Gee, Bhairitu, Barry was extremely fond of the posting limits. You don't

As Bhairitu is probably aware, Barry was fond of the posting limits because
Judy was not.
This is one of the very few true things Barry has said in this discussion. He
saw the posting limits as a chance to stalk me to get back at me for my
criticisms of him, as well as cutting down on the number of criticisms. He
didn't, and doesn't, care about how many posts folks make except to the extent
it gives him something to stalk the people he doesn't like about. It's
completely opportunistic.
Barry's count of the number of times various people posted out was even more
flawed than his purported counts usually are. It was impossible for him to
access enough of the data to get an accurate count, and he acknowledged this
when he posted it. That fact appears to have gone conveniently down his memory
hole.
In any case, eight is way too high for me.
The rest of this is just more of Barry's endless fantasizing.
They *were*, after all, created with the express purpose of trying to teach
Judy and two others some self-control. Knowing that she in particular had none,
I saw them as a way to get her to reveal how *little* self-control she really
has.

I think you can. :-) /* Well, Barry can say that, but he knows it's not true. Back then the TM critics--especially Barry--were very busy stalking the TM defenders on FFL, and the latter were significantly outnumbered by the former. There were constant, prolonged battles over TM-related issues; both sides were much more militant than they are now. That's why the TM defenders were making so many posts: we were under siege. What I wrote above that Barry quotes was right on target. */ Here she is proposing the *exact same strategy* currently being used against her so effectively by Richard (bold emphasis mine): /* Effectively is in the eye of the wishful thinker. And of course I wasn't seriously proposing any strategy in what Barry quotes: I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but it's awfully convenient for Barry that the three top posters just happen to be among his chief critics here-- so he can try to intimidate us into silence under cover of complaining about how much we post. * It would be fun to see what he'd do if we were to limit our posts to criticisms of him.* - Judy Stein, Nov 2, 2006 */ Richard didn't even have to do that. Turns out he has *plenty* to say, about many topics, pretty much all of them more interesting than Judy Stein. All he had to do was up his quotient of posts criticizing Judy and she goes batshit crazy, and now (ironically) is one of the people screaming for posting limits again. /* Well, I'm not screaming for posting limits, as Barry knows. I said explicitly that it was vanishingly unlikely we would go back to them, for several reasons (and Alex has just confirmed one of them: he isn't willing to take on limits again). And as already noted in my earlier post, Richard's criticisms of (read: lies about) me are the least of the problem. The rest of his posts are mostly not that interesting, and Barry would never in a million years suggest they were if he weren't once again turning to the tried-and-true the enemy of my enemy is my friend tactic. It's the volume of Richard's insipid posts and trolls and lies--volume just for the sake of volume--that are making FFL so unpleasant. Attention troll was Barry's entirely apt term for Richard not very long ago. */ The bottom line here is pretty simple, and pretty clear-cut: /* */ /* Lies are frequently simpler and clearer-cut than the reality. They're designed to be. */ /* */ NO ONE but Judy's clone Ann seem to be the least bit bothered by Richard turning the tables and doing to her what she's done to so many others for so many years. /* Whoopsie-daisy. We don't know how many are bothered by Richard's excessive posting, first of all. They may not be speaking up because they don't want to become one of his targets. More importantly, Richard isn't turning the tables; what he's doing is vastly unlike what I do: his attacks consist almost exclusively of falsehoods. If I criticize somebody, I do it honestly. And Barry knows this. */ NO ONE is rushing to her defense. /* */ /* *I don't need anyone to rush to my defense. I've never had any trouble handling attacks, especially ones that involve lies, as Barry knows to his sorrow. And Richard's attacks and lies are pretty pitiful.* */ /* */ Instead, pretty much everyone is kinda *enjoying* seeing her get a taste of her own medicine. /* Uh-huh. We all know Barry has the siddhi of mass reading of minds, don't we, folks? My guess is that except for a few people like Feste and Share who have a big beef with me, Richard's posts (and my responses, when I make any other than the macro) are being ignored. */ Richard has, in fact, given the rest of us who've had to live with this woman's insanity for so long a kind of Christmas present, letting us see her demonstrate how badly she handles someone doing to her what
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Posting Limits
Maybe Barry was posting a parody. Judy is easily the target of a parody,
as Robin demonstrated. Apparently Judy will fall for any parody, even
one by Robin that looks like the truth. Go figure.
Everyone knows that Judy was the top poster around here for years - she
can't resist posting some snarky reply to just about every post
submitted. But, when someone posts something on topic, she just ignores
it. Why? Because she knows next to nothing about yoga or meditation,
obviously, or even music for that matter.

[FairfieldLife] RE: Posting Limits
I have to agree, except I'd rather make it a 75-post limit. However, I don't think there's any chance of the limit being reimposed. Alex is very unlikely to want to take it back on, and Rick's too busy to even read the posts here except once in a blue moon. Plus which, apparently Neo has made managing a group nearly impossible. As long as the group pretty much runs itself, that doesn't matter, but if it involves removing and then reinstating posting privileges on a fairly regular basis, it's likely to be a huge hassle. But something really does have to be done about Richard. Either he's deliberately trying to kill the group, or he's developed some kind of mental problem that keeps him from seeing what he's doing--maybe the onset of dementia. I didn't think I would hear myself say this (and I haven't because I'm writing it) but I am formally asking Rick for the reinstatement of posting limits. At least at 50 I might, just might, be able to stick it out with the, shall we say, obsessive troller Richard. He is nothing if not persistent in his need to drive this forum into the basement. FFL will end some day but it would be nice if it wasn't because of Ricky. He's just not worth it.

I understand the theory of why the 1% should work, but that's just a theory. I have not really seen peace on earth as a result of our numbers. We don't have the numbers. But here is what I have seen. Germany was in a state of mass hypnosis during Hitler's reign, Therefore TM'rs are Nazis? and, traveling to China and then coming back here has made me see that America is in a state of mass hypnosis now. Speak for yourself. I don't know why that is, but could large numbers of people meditating have that effect? No, Maharishi has stated it is brainwashing, not hypnosis.. It is not a stupid comparison, the comparison between America now and Hitler's Germany then. We are torturing people. Therefore TM'rs are Nazis? And that may only be the beginning (those of you who think American concentration camps are too bizarre for belief should just Google them--they were too bizarre for belief in Germany too. But the American and Canadian residential schools for Native Americans were essentially death camps for children and served as a model for Hitler's camps). And the English emptied the Scottish towns of their residents 300 years ago and sent them to die on ships to Canada. Therefore TM'rs are Nazis. I hope whoever said that the evil has been defeated at some cosmic level is right, but I sure don't see the effects of it in real time on planet earth You won't see it because you have been hypnotized. You are not thinking straight. There will not be peace in matter, but great upheaval in matter...but that is only the surface of existence, so relax, and do not get caught up in that which has to change anyway. as long as there are prisoners suffering at American hands in Abu Ghraib. I see the same indifference to those things here in America as there was in Nazi Germany. That is the comparison I am making, and it is not stupid. Therefore TM'rs are Nazis? OffWorld .
