Richard, I know from experience that silence does not always indicate agreement. Sometimes it indicates that the post has not been read by the one who is being silent!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
This is a perfect example of why they should have a better screening process, to keep anti-social people from working for the TMO. This kind of behavior has probably been present since the guy was a small child. I mean, if a guy can't even participate in an online discussion group without blowing up, you can imagine what his life is like in real life! It must have been chaos just living with this guy! If he's like this now, after being cured, imagine what he was like twenty years ago when he was supposed to be a spiritual teacher. Most of the misfits posting here probably had severe social problems long before they started TM - it was just hidden from view. People don't just suddenly start expressing violent tendencies. Or, exhibit extreme anger at their government overnight - it's a chronic, pernicious condition over time. Usually people consult a cult-exit counselor or get some therapy from a psychiatrist. Apparently none of the misfits on FFL have done this and even refuse to admit they have any problems. The first step on any 12-step program is to admit you have a serious social or mental problem. Sometimes people have to be put on medication. Sometimes they have to be committed before they cause harm to others or to themselves.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
Most people, personality-wise, are probably pretty much just like their online persona - unless they are posers, according to Judy - and that would be dishonest. They wouldn't be able to hold up under close scrutiny. People that want to join a public discussion group don't usually just take on different personalities for no reason.That would be considered to be trolling. People who do this consciously in public are sometimes termed schizophrenic by psychologists. In an online discussion we pretty much read what we read - there's not much wiggle room for deceit - although since we no longer have the benefit of Judge Judy, there are several informants that try to get away with posting fibs. Go figure. There's no logical reason for anyone on this list, anyone that wants to show any street-cred - to pose as someone else - they would be outed in just a few minutes. The fact is, that NOBODY posting here knows what is going on with the TMO and probably never have - no matter how many biscuits they baked or how many mantras they sold. There are no TMO insider informants on this list, except for maybe Alex, and he already told us everything we need to know about the comings-and-goings in Vedic City.And, Share and Buck have told us everything we need to know about the comings-and-goings of the TMer in Fairfield.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
I never read that Edg had told someone to stop eating and die. Suicide pushes a button for me, obviously. What 7th ray wrote seemed to cross a line, for me. I suspect that Edg himself could care less. And he does not need me to defend him. I just spoke up cause it seemed a harsh response.

Tell me emptybill, did Edgar stop seeking after he got into the TM-org? The spectrum of knowledge is vast. A good teacher always refers you to other teachers to fill in the gaps in knowledge. If the TM-org tried to restrict Edgar, it's entirely the org's fault. I can understand his anger and frustration. There was never any need to gather people in groups. If TM does work, it dosen't matter where you are.

Your lack of anger is my proof that you really don't care about who lives and dies - as long as it's on a discussion group. So, why should you be angry at anyone? If you took any of this seriously you would have objected to Edg's rants long ago. In fact, you don't seem to object to anything, except maybe my drivel objecting to Edg's rants. Go figure.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
Wayback, you read about what Edg said in my post! Perhaps you think I made it up? If you think I wrote accurately, you can simply say that you find that harsh too. Unless you don't of course. I think scapegoating and ganging up is wrong whether the target is Richard or turq or the TMO.

Some informants just don't keep up with the conversation on FFL and so they fail to understand what we are even talking about. It's like at a social gathering or a party when a long-lost friend shows up out of the blue after a couple of years and instead of joining in the party and having fun, they just butt in without thinking and then they ignore their old friends. Sometimes they overhear a debate and without knowing what the subject of the debate is they just launch into a non sequitur - instead of reflecting on the topic at hand and trying to understand both sides of a debate.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
Gunna have to give the win to Steve hereI think I took it to be an elbow in the ribs as he intended...locker room jive. And maybe mostly too my Stop eating. Die. gobsmacker was suchlike, but I do contend that fasting to death is a perfect way to arrange the end of life. Seems all the scriptures everywhere got a soft spot for tapas. So, if I had a lesser technique to offer to Richard, I would offer it, but, HE'S DISSED EVERY POSSIBLE EVOLUTIONARY TECHNIQUE, so I can't tell him to shape up any other way. This is my story and I'm sticking to it. Hee hee. And of course, as a topic, suicide has crossed my desk as much as anyone's, er probably. Have I mindfully processed more than three thoughts in a row about it as a personal choice due to intolerable personal circumstance? -- nah Cuz, surprise!, I'm a narcissist and coward and fascinated with the productivity of my consciousness. I got a first row seat inside a brain, and I mean to enjoy it. Confession: I still will tell folks that life is here to enjoy, ya know? I love that concept, and I learned it at the feet of Maharishi -- that God's reason to create was the expansion of happiness. I've written about it MANY times. But here, it's not so easy to present ones little darlings and wait for them to be hacked with rusty machetes. I write in many a venue, ya wouldn't even recognize me in some of themer, maybe. Yep, I do bonsai trim my personality for each. Some places have never heard a swear word outta me. Other places I have picked fights -- politics, morality, etc. with strangers who must be corrected -- you know the drill. I was kicked out of a trikking forum because they didn't like me griping about them allowing porn to be posted when we had under-18yer kids posting at the forum. About six Facebookers have unfriended me because I insisted that Jesus couldn't be at all like their Jesus. Like that, I have tilted at windmills and lost. My online life's a masquerade ball. You? Anyone here want to confess to putting a good foot forward? I came into FFL angry with my first post. I think I set a tone there that I have ridden as a dynamic suitable to this venue.

You voted for him now you own it. That's the important point.Your guy pulled all the U,S, troops out of Iraq and dropped the ball - now he's going back into Iraq - to destroy the al Queda-ISIL. You are either with us or against us. Make up your mind. *The United States has conducted more than 150 airstrikes in Iraq against ISIS, and Secretary of State John Kerry has said nearly 40 nations have agreed to contribute to the fight against the militants.* 'Who is doing what in the coalition battle against ISIS?' http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/14/world/meast/isis-coalition-nations/ On Sun, Sep 14, 2014 at 8:12 PM, Duveyoung no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote: Gunna have to give the win to Steve hereI think I took it to be an elbow in the ribs as he intended...locker room jive.

Yep, I do bonsai trim my personality for each. Some places have never heard a swear word outta me. Other places I have picked fights -- politics, morality, etc. with strangers who must be corrected -- you know the drill. I was kicked out of a trikking forum because they didn't like me griping about them allowing porn to be posted when we had under-18yer kids posting at the forum. About six Facebookers have unfriended me because I insisted that Jesus couldn't be at all like their Jesus. Like that, I have tilted at windmills and lost. My online life's a masquerade ball. You?

OTOH, I admire her for expressing an unpopular opinion. Her opinion is not necessarily unpopular. I had a problem with it as it seemed arbitrary and forced. You like Steve so you seemed to have a problem with it. Richard has been the brunt of Edg's acid writing style so he had a problem with it and Steve disagreed with Susan't assessment that it was so terrible 'cause he had his own reasons for saying it. For all we know everyone else agreed with Susan or didn't care enough to comment. So, I don't give her impulse to make the comment much credit although everyone deserves a voice here if they so choose. My beef is still the inconsistent standard for nasty and inappropriate.

Steve and Dan, I think you guys have hit the nail on the head with this responsibility angle. But of course, that angle only makes the angry people angrier! I feel for them because I think they're mainly angry at themselves. I once said about a poster here that it would be great if she would use her incredible skills to take on Monsanto, for example. Same with Edg who is an amazing writer imho. Not necessarily Monsanto, but for God sake's man, use your writing gift to end world hunger! OTHO I realize that we all must start with our own corner of the world. But what is really our own corner of the world? Isn't it our own stuff? Ultimately, we gotta be the change we want to see.

You shouldn't be that stupid but apparently you are - how is expecting someone to be honest, keep their word and not screw you over by lying and committing fraud asking for a handout? Like most TM fanatics you love to blame those who realize their were defrauded on many levels, just like the Movement loves to blame people who commit suicide by claiming they weren't meditating properly, were off the program or had some underlying mental condition that was there, unseen for decades till then killed themselves.

Geeze, learn a lesson from Maharishi here...at least he knew how to handle hostility coming from someone on the mike -- almost always graciously(I can think of a couple exceptions, but . . . ) It's not important if anyone here approves of any statement, or not. What's important is that THIS RECORD of the minds of a few survivors of the TMO be at least registered here. Over the years here, although I've changed my mind, yes I have, due to some of the arguments here, let's face it, this place is not about attempting to formulate statements upon which we all can agree. Instead, we get so much head bashing. Let this be on the record too sayeth moi -- let the whole messy-ness of it, the soul swampy steam coming off of it, let it all be recorded here. If I am a miscreant out to propagandize to a few minds here -- let it be recorded. This...all of thisdone by true believers lo these many decades.

Some sooperdooper A.I. that would rule the world would at least be able to buddy up with the likes of the sorry spiritual drunks almost passed out in the corners of Rick's Place. We'd be on our knees e-praying in about ten minutes flat once an A.I. god told us we were special. Who can't be easily pegged by their postings here? Everyone's put out all this data about themselves without even thinking twice about how it could all be put into a dossier with which A.I. can grok a person 100%. Or the NSA. No diff. I just wanted to and will continue to lay out my POV -- 29 years before the mast and the ship went down. And my story is true for about 95% of all the folks that once invested in the technique -- it just didn't pan out. Selling non-sense gibberish mantras and snake-oil for money is probably better than panhandling.

See someone's flaws and have at it hoss -- but don't call your lust to thrust a personality dynamic of a knower of reality. Geeze, learn a lesson from Maharishi here...at least he knew how to handle hostility coming from someone on the mike -- almost always graciously(I can think of a couple exceptions, but . . . ) It's not important if anyone here approves of any statement, or not. What's important is that THIS RECORD of the minds of a few survivors of the TMO be at least registered here. Over the years here, although I've changed my mind, yes I have, due to some of the arguments here, let's face it, this place is not about attempting to formulate statements upon which we all can agree. Instead, we get so much head bashing. Let this be on the record too sayeth moi -- let the whole messy-ness of it, the soul swampy steam coming off of it, let it all be recorded here. If I am a miscreant out to propagandize to a few minds here -- let it be recorded. This...all of thisdone by true believers lo these many decades. Hey it's sci-fi now but an actuality that's coming soon enough is that there's going to be a tech that will make use of all this jabbering of ours -- and who the fuck knows what wisdom can be mined herein by some A.I. engine around the corner, eh? Some sooperdooper A.I. that would rule the world would at least be able to buddy up with the likes of the sorry spiritual drunks almost passed out in the corners of Rick's Place. We'd be on our knees e-praying in about ten minutes flat once an A.I. god told us we were special. Who can't be easily pegged by their postings here? Everyone's put out all this data about themselves without even thinking twice about how it could all be put into a dossier with which A.I. can grok a person 100%. Or the NSA. No diff. I just wanted to and will continue to lay out my POV -- 29 years before the mast and the ship went down. And my story is true for about 95% of all the folks that once invested in the technique -- it just didn't pan out.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: My anger is my proof
Well, you got into the game much earlier than I and stuck with it much longer than I did. I didn't do TTC until 1975 and taught a few courses after I returned in 1976 and then about a year later it was announced that courses should given over to MIU graduates, who being young, lacked experience in life and were like robots teaching. Local folks didn't take to that so along with the fee hike, the announcement of TM-Sidhis, initiations began to drop. Plus, I was a bit peripheral to the local movement and hung out with people who taught yet had careers. They also liked to check out other organizations and books and I was well advised to keep such explorations secret. Plus before I started TM I had already tried some other techniques including Advaita ones. I tried TM to see what an official mantra might do. I didn't find out how unofficial those mantras were until I returned from TTC and read up on them in a book on the Vedas, mentioning they were often practiced by Hindu couples before having sex! :-D On 09/13/2014 09:44 AM, Duveyoung wrote: I guess I do come off as blaming more than I should. Cuz, hey, Willy's right that if I had had any integrity, I would never have allowed myself to be, what?, abused? by the TMO. But, hey, again, TM was SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME THAT INTEGRITY! I was and am still easily interpreted as wacko -- depends on the frame through which you're looking at my stuff. From some frames, I pass muster, but others.yessh. I never had a good plan for life -- always just running to the next safe place where I could maybe get my shit together. Always with exigencies pushing me down the road instead of following my bliss. Fingers always crossed that the technique would change me before everyone found out how thick the mask I wore was. I really was a true believer for a while there, and during that time, THEN, how the TMO handled me could be described as fraudulent, abusive, etc. When I put my faith in you -- give you personal power over me as I did with Maharishi -- the betrayals are all the more bitterbecause, of course, it is so hard to clearly take ownership of ones part in the debacle. After 5 - 8 years, all the initiations, ATRs, yeah, from then on, it was me holing up and hiding out from real life to a great degree. By then I'd seen clearly that the assholes of the movement were merely normal assholes that had come the to movement and had never been psychologically improved, and never would be improved fast enough to justify bending a knee to their non-enlightened intent to do Maharishi's work. But by then, I knew myself enough to know I didn't resonate with the normal life offerings extant, and so the years flowed past as I waited and hoped I'd get the clarity to target something better...or at least more attainable than enlightenment. Meanwhile the kids were in a school that I could trust more than a public school, I had a dozen irons in the fire for making money in FF, and I had a nice social life and community. There were no other places for me-in-my-fix to go. Or so I thoughtas time passed, karma came and forced me into various partial clarities. And of course, anyone evolves given decades of life processing, so all the issues of being in the cult were very transformative as much as any other kind of life would have been. This wisdom-via-aging is then very hard to separate from wisdom gained because of TM. -- and the TMO of course took credit for the least titch of anyone's improvements. Gr.
