Re: [FairfieldLife] Bob Roth: New DLF goal is 10 million in 3 years

My experiences I had at MIU from 1976-80 were wonderful. I would not trade them 
for anything. I made many long-lasting friendships and it led me to appreciate 
people from all walks of life. I grew in a very small farming town in east 
central Minnesota.  My time at MIU exposed me to a much bigger world. I have 
been a public school teacher for 31 years and MIU gave me a strong foundation 
to be successful in my professional life, marriage and family.

You may see me as that Alex, I don't. Good shot though.
I too had good experiences at MIU - some were of the meditative type and 
others were with general life in a rather bizarre setting of a cult that was 
not viewed as a cult at the time.
Some of the friendships I made then I still have and still value them today. 
None of the positive experiences I had in the working for nothing so the 
Movement could get richer context prevents me from seeing Liar Marshy and his 
Movement with a clear eye today.
I think it is a good thing for those of us who once supported the TMO in 
various ways to be honest about what it was and what it is. I was a True 
Believer and supported the TMO during the time when Marshy was still chasing 
women, was taking money under false pretenses and TM related suicides were 
ongoing. 

The Movement does a great deal of damage in people's lives in some cases, and 
at a minimum sells nostrums and snake oil. If you can't see it, or don't want 
to admit it, so be it. But your insistence on ignoring these things doesn't 
make them untrue, nor does it make them go away.

MIU is completely invalid.

No no, not at all. I don't accept your view. I had a great time at MIU. I 
wasn't conned for a moment. It was intellectually and spiritually rewarding. I 
don't regret a single minute of it. We had some terrific students in those 
days, and deep and serious idea were discussed. It was wonderful that we were 
all focused on spiritual development. And we had a good teacher, too. (And some 
of the cakes in HW dining hall were pretty good too, so thanks for those.)

The Movement IS a cartoon peopled by a lot of whacked out characters that 
believe a lot of superstitious nonsense. It would in fact make a fine cartoon, 
if one wanted to make a cartoon for adults about a prideful huckster who passed

say they want to make TM available to as many kids as possible under the model

doing so.

In the 1970s.  When I became a teacher the idea was working 
professionals who taught TM on the side. Then about a year after my TTC 
the MIU graduated it's first students and then we got the announcement 
we were to give over teaching to the MIU grads.  That's when TM lost a 
lot of teachers as well as practitioners.  The kids needed mentoring not 
just an MIU degree.  They lacked experience in life and couldn't 
interact well with the wide range of people who even just came in for 
checking.  When I came back from TTC I taught a couple courses with an 
experienced teacher and was grateful for it.  And I was about 10 years 
older than a college grad.


Kinda reminds me of the problem with today's tech industry.

 I thought the first graduating class of MIU was mostly older teachers. My 
class in 75 (graduated in 79) was the first class with some actual college age 
students in it. Interesting to hear how the movement screwed the teachers in 
the field. We got screwed another way. We went through phase one during our 
forest academies and did our phase two during the summers. We were advised not 
to interrupt our education and get our phase three before we graduated. Being a 
good boy I listened to that advice. Then when I graduated, ready for phase 
three, Maharishi cancelled our credit for our phase one and two! So I had to 
work at sidhaland for three years to get back to phase freaking ONE and redue 
phase two. If I had done it as part of my degree I would have had the funds as 
part of my college education. For a kicker when I had worked for the credit to 
redo phase one, my sidhaland didn't have the money so the rejected me for phase 
one and I had to switch to another facility to work longer to get back to where 
I started with phase one. In my cult addled brain it was all a test of my 
devotion!

Doing phase two twice gave me an experience of the different cultures between 
the field teachers and us whippersnappers. The resentment was understandable in 
retrospect.

That's awful that you had to redo those phases.  Hell the whole thing 
could have been taught in one month as they originally were. The rest 
was mostly indoctrination.


A lot of the teachers at our SIMS center were college students, some of 
them post graduate.  They related well to other students. The woman who 
ran the SRM center did so out of her house and was married and had high 
school age children.  She had great meetings for TM'ers there.  Her 
husband had a degree in theology so we had some deep discussions.


The satellite centers the popped up in the late 70s were run by folks 
who had full time jobs (many in the tech field).  Since I was a working 
musician and had days free they often had me sit on center a couple days 
a week as well as teaching a course or two when I didn't have a night 
gig.  They also gave me a fair share of the income.


I mentioned mentoring because the word was students don't have enough 
experience in life to be turned loose on the public.  The same thing 
has happened in the tech industry.  Back in the 1990s when I was a 
hiring manager we put fresh grads under the wing of somebody and they 
were grateful for it.

I don't care what L wrote -I was not addressing what he wrote, I was addressing 
what Roth said in part of the tape when Brand surprisingly addressed the high 
cost of TM.
The Movement IS a cartoon peopled by a lot of whacked out characters that 
believe a lot of superstitious nonsense. It would in fact make a fine cartoon, 
if one wanted to make a cartoon for adults about a prideful huckster who passed 
himself off as a spiritual teacher and created what became in time a neo-Hindu 
cult that bilked thousands out of millions and led some to mental breakdowns 
and suicide.

 Eh.
The DLF hires TM teachers at a set fee and sends them to various places to 
teach groups of people, such as all kids in a San Francisco school.
You know, this points up a certain hypocrisy on your part: you try your hardest 
(and brag when you succeed) to make sure that kids cannot learn TM via the DLF

Most of the TM teachers I knew were broke ass True Believers who beggared 
themselves and alienated their families to pursue enlightenment through 
following Marshy and doing TM. 

There were a few who already had money and the others lived in their shadow in 
one way or another. I never met a TM teacher who came from money that did not 
create an aura of superciliousness between himself and the financially 
struggling TM teachers. The elitism in the Movement was always more pronounced 
there from what I saw.

Did it occur to you that the advice to not get Phase 3 during summer break was 
deliberate on Marshy's part? When they saw how much money they were to lose by 
having you not pay I am sure he did it on purpose, to line his coffers. 

Just another story illustrating how Marshy was not enlightened, how he and his 
sycophantic TM Movement leaders were focused money and didn't give a rat's ass 
about the lives of the initiators or anyone else for that matter. And another 
story giving lie to the idea that TM is a superlative practice. 

I wonder if any particular excuse was made the the credit cancellation?

I thought the first graduating class of MIU was mostly older teachers. My class 
in 75 (graduated in 79) was the first class with some actual college age 
students in it. Interesting to hear how the movement screwed the teachers in 
the field. We got screwed another way. We went through phase one during our 
forest academies and did our phase two during the summers. We were advised not 
to interrupt our education and get our phase three before we graduated. Being a 
good boy I listened to that advice. Then when I graduated, ready for phase 
three, Maharishi cancelled our credit for our phase one and two! So I had to 
work at sidhaland for three years to get back to phase freaking ONE and redue 
phase two. If I had done it as part of my degree I would have had the funds as 
part of my college education. For a kicker when I had worked for the credit to 
redo phase one, my sidhaland didn't have the money so the rejected me for phase 
one and I had to switch to another facility to work longer to get back to where 
I started with phase one. In my cult addled brain it was all a test of my 
devotion!

Doing phase two twice gave me an experience of the different cultures between 
the field teachers and us whippersnappers. The resentment was understandable in 
retrospect.

 Did it occur to you that the advice to not get Phase 3 during summer break was 
deliberate on Marshy's part? When they saw how much money they were to lose by 
having you not pay I am sure he did it on purpose, to line his coffers. 

C: Then, no. Now, yes. 

 

 M: Just another story illustrating how Marshy was not enlightened, how he and 
his sycophantic TM Movement leaders were focused money and didn't give a rat's 
ass about the lives of the initiators or anyone else for that matter. And 
another story giving lie to the idea that TM is a superlative practice. 

C: I am not sure what you are comparing Maharishi's enlightenment to. I don't 
believe I have seen any convincing evidence of anyone functioning from a state 
that would live up to that hype. I know about altered states of consciousness 
and have had plenty of them myself. So I accept that people can be functioning 
from an altered state then most of us for good or bad. But the superlatives 
attached to the concept of enlightenment seem to have the solidity of a concept 
like being saved. It seems like a head trip people assume to lay on others to 
me.

 

 M: I wonder if any particular excuse was made the the credit cancellation?

C: They said our training had not been rigorous enough at MIU with the course 
spread out the way we did it. As a believer I accepted that but really just 
thought of is as my personal karmic test of my devotion to becoming a teacher. 
I probably would have come out of it all quicker if I didn't have the magic of 
TTC and the puja as the carrot at the end of the stick. Of course I have to 
admit I had a blast during my movement days. People have done worse in their 
20's than being completely full of this particular version of bullshit!

 The DLF hires TM teachers at a set fee and sends them to various places to 
teach groups of people, such as all kids in a San Francisco school.
 

 You know, this points up a certain hypocrisy on your part: you try your 
hardest (and brag when you succeed) to make sure that kids cannot learn TM via 
the DLF and then accuse the DLF people of lying through their teeth when they 
say they want to make TM available to as many kids as possible under the model

if one wanted to make a cartoon for adults about a prideful huckster who passed 
himself off as a spiritual teacher and created what became in time a neo-Hindu 
cult that bilked thousands out of millions and led some to mental breakdowns 
and suicide.

   You need to improve your reading skills, Michael: a) you don't address L.'s 
point, below, and b) Bob Roth was speaking about what he hoped could be 
established in the future, not what it has been in the past. Your entire view 
of TM and the TM movement might best be described as cartoonish.

 Go ask any TM teacher from the last 60 years how much they made teaching TM.
 

 Also ask the people who run the Movement how they justify asking the public to 
fund this crap when the Movement has billions in assets. Take a look at the 
palace Girish lives in and you'll have your answer.

   Eh.
 

 The DLF hires TM teachers at a set fee and sends them to various places to 
teach groups of people, such as all kids in a San Francisco school.
 

 You know, this points up a certain hypocrisy on your part: you try your 
hardest (and brag when you succeed) to make sure that kids cannot learn TM via 
the DLF and then accuse the DLF people of lying through their teeth when they 
say they want to make TM available to as many kids as possible under the model 
for TM teaching that you oppose and pay the TM teacher a decent wage while 
doing so.

 What little I watched shows me that Bob Roth is a lying ass. He is talking 
about how he wants the TM teachers to be able to raise a family on teaching TM? 
When in the hell has that EVER been possible in 60 years of the Movement?

 about 36 minutes into the interview with Russell Brand:

 What is interesting about this interview is how Brand looks and acts. He is 
completely off character for 99% of the interview.
