Read the above written by our in-house Buddhist and see why people unsubscribe. Nabby, I am replying to this because I really am curious as to how you think, and whether you are aware of how you think. The story I told about the Lourdes water is completely, 100% true. I did, in fact, use it to clean my windshield. Does that make me a Bad Person in your eyes? I did not write that you are a Bad person because of this water-thing. But I can understand why people unsubscribe when they read the negatives you and your other socalled Buddhist brother here; Vaj post on FFL. There is no respect for other Traditions; you are posting 30 year old experiences before you where kicked out of the TMO; you two are obviously on a lifelong project to smear the TMO. Fortunately you both are on a dead end road; TM is on the rise also in countries previously considered Buddhist. http://www.globalgoodnews.com/watch-live.html Enjoy !

[snip] Maharishi's dead not two years and already schmucks like Nabby are destroying the teaching. Nabby, are you not aware of the fact that Buddhists are not only free to believe what they want to believe but they can do all of that AND practise the TM Program at the same time? Please. Do all of us TMers a favor and quit meditating. Become a Scientologist or something. Somehow I suspect that the loss of good vibes emanating from you NOT doing TM any longer will actually hasten the onset of world peace, not postpone it.

Please. Do all of us TMers a favor and quit meditating. Become a Scientologist or something. 3) Get a checking; perhaps you will become less foolish.

[snip] Maharishi's dead not two years and already schmucks like Nabby are destroying the teaching. 1) In what way ? By putting down Buddhists. By not reminding Buddhists that they, too, can do TM without abandoning their Buddhims. By setting up some sort of contest between TM and Buddhism, as you do above. Nabby, are you not aware of the fact that Buddhists are not only free to believe what they want to believe but they can do all of that AND practise the TM Program at the same time? 2) Including trying to smear Maharishis TMO ? Even a sick man can open up a health food store. Even a smearer of Maharishi and the TMO can successfully practise the TM Program. Indeed, as long as a smearer does TM twice a day for 15-20 minutes, his activity of smearing Maharishi and the TMO will be that much effective. Stop making TM a cult. Smearers are welcome. Please. Do all of us TMers a favor and quit meditating. Become a Scientologist or something. 3) Get a checking; perhaps you will become less foolish. Quit meditating. Perhaps the TMO will then survive.

I redicule the Buddhists on FFL only, Barry and Vaj. If you had payed a little attention you would have seen that I have nothing whatsoever against Buddhism. Why should I who have been on a boatride with Maharishi on Buddha Yayanti on the full moon of May where He gave a 4 hour talk on the nature of the Buddha ? Maharishi and The Buddha are one. You're an ill informed conservative fool; go somewhere else if you want to to call posters schmucks ! And for Gods sake; please have a checking.

I'd trade 50 of anything else for something blessed by Padre Pio. Not joking. He was the fave of enlightened TMer Robin Woodsworth Carlsen, who later converted to Roman Catholicism. Being dead for so long, one wonders if there is any Padre Pio holy water left? But then again, how could you tell? I cannot comment on Padre Pio water (and for that matter don't even know who the heck he is), but I can attest to the effectiveness of water from Lourdes. I met with some meditating friends who were doing a kind of tour of France, and they gave me a bottle of water they had recently purchased in Lourdes. While driving back home after meeting them, I encountered one of those summer rainstorms that in southern France are more like mudstorms, because the rain happens during a dust storm. The resulting muck turned my windshield dangerously opaque, and I found that I was out of wiper fluid and dozens of kilometers from anywhere I could buy more windshield cleaner or even fill the reservoir up with water. So I poured the Lourdes water into the wiper fluid reservoir and it worked just fine. It healed the muddy windshield and allowed me to continue safely on my way. Not joking.

Speaking of windshield and bugs (segue to movies again) look up Dark Country on the high seas. Stars Thomas Jane (Hung) who also directed, Lauren German and Ron Perlman. Very noir horror film about a couple driving through the desert from Las Vegas to Sedona at night. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469318/

I did, in fact, use it to clean my windshield. Does that make me a Bad Person in your eyes? My friends had just been to Lourdes. They are sweet people, and as superstitious as you are, so they stocked up on Lourdes water. I've been to Lourdes. The water comes from the well there, where it is bottled up in plastic containers just like Evian and then blessed by one of the priests, a roomful of bottles at a time. Then it is sold to the pilgrims visiting the site for 5 Euros a bottle. (Evian costs 1 Euro a bottle.) Some of them believe it has miraculous powers. And I am open enough to believe that if *they* believe it can perform miracles for them, it can. If my friends who bought the water had an ailment and drank the water, I think that there is a good chance that they would feel some benefit from doing so, from the placebo effect if nothing else. I have no such placebo effect belief system going for me. I don't believe in magic water. So because it was the only water I had with me or within kilometers, I poured it into the windshield wiper reservoir and got home safely. You may consider that a miracle if you want. I do not. I consider you an *amazingly* superstitious person. You believe thoroughly in things I find laughable, and so I sometimes laugh at you for believing in them. But I don't consider you a Bad Person for believing in them, just a superstitious one. When I laugh at your superstitions, I am also remembering back and laughing at my own. I once owned a set of coral beads blessed by Maharishi, and like every- one else in the TM movement I probably paid 10X what they were really worth to the movement scam artist who sold them to me. Then I dutifully stood in line so that Maharishi could shake them around in his hand for a few seconds and make them all magic. I have no idea what happened to them. I probably threw them away in one of my many moves. I don't miss them, and I don't miss the me that thought that they were magic. Does that too make me a Bad Person in your mind? If so, why?
