It can be read in an hour or two and does not press any claim for relevance. Which is nice, in a way.

Another 20 months and the Beatles were no longer together as a band, President Richard M. Nixon was in the White House with his 'madman theory' of geopolitics, and cocaine was outselling marijuana on the markets in transcendence." Reviews like this one are almost always written by someone who wasn't there and wishes he had been. My personal feeling for the "turning point" of those times was that the pivotal point was in early 1967, and that everything else was downhill from there. All the rest -- the Beatles with Maharishi, the commer- cialization of hippie, the free love stuff -- all of that was an attempt to capture a fleeting taste of a phenmomenon that was already over.

[FairfieldLife] Madharisi Still Trying To Take Over The World
http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/Friday, March 24, 2006Madharisi Still Trying To Take Over The WorldFile under: Wackadoo Gurus and The Siddhi of PRThe old coot is still at it. The latest in his 50-year scheme to ignite the next Golden Age (in direct competition with the Kracki, the Babaster and many, many insane people all over the world) is the Global Good News. It's just about the cheesiest looking website seen since the use of the tag.It's the same old TM™ global-everything propaganda. We thought it was a pipe dream back in 1989 at college, when Madharishi minions offered a ride home to pimp nonsense about the coming Age of Enlightenment... courtesy of and exclusively by the Madharishi himself, the certain and only true usher for the Golden Age. We thanked them for the ride and told them they were full of it.And yet the wacky old bat is still at it. You've got to give him credit for sticking with it, or at least give his grandiosity credit. And we suppose you can't fault them for wanting to transform the world into his idea of what Vedic social perfection would look like. Too bad it's just as likely as the neocons' vision of a world united in Christ.That's what makes it so crazy. When has anything so well articulated come about anywhere near the way it was articulated? Never. The world doesn't work that way, and the TM™ folks' inability to see this belies a lack of discrimination about just how crazy... or at best, inappropriately hopeful their leader actually is.We continue to hope ourselves that the GCfWP comes to their senses once their beloved guru passes on. It's obviously a strong organization. If it can get past the grandiosity of its founder it may actually turn out to be something much better for the world than the likes the Kracki's deeksha scam and his grandiose ideas of Golden Age bringing.We see no way out of the eyeball lightning here, folks. You better not be close to any metal if and when it finally does go down.posted by jody @ 5:46 PM 1 comments To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'

He was probably glad it wasn't him. :) Maybe I'm just missing something here, but I find it fascinating how normal, everyday common-sense gets transformed into 'compassion' when it's from someone people obviously don't expect to have much.

(sorry if this post comes up 2x) But students putting up posters on campus for innumerable causes is part of college life and is not considered a negative by an accreditation team. In fact, college kids all walking around in suits and ties and old dresses all talking the same "everything is bliss here" words would be more cause for concern by the team than having some poster protest by a minority group I think. I would have recommended they first talk with some admin. rep about their concerns, but they probably tried and were rebuffed and thus felt the need to get political in their tactics. >From what I hear students at MUM were thrilled this weekend having the campus full of diverse looking and thinking students who amazingly were not afraid to get up and ask lynch and donovan whatever they wanted, even about sex and rock and roll for gosh sakes!

It would be interesting to hear a roomful of bigwigs talk about their coping mechanisms for working with MMY. Does Bevan's approach parallel John Hagelin's, Bob Wynne's and other such types?

It does if you are so incurious as to have been *satisfied* with that little actual substance in 30 years. The thing that amazes me is not that people consider Maharishi a "master," but that they are satisfied with such a lame definition of what a "master" is.

That's the point at which I had figured out that it *was* a cult, and had tried to do a few things to fight what was going on -- the purges of people deemed "off the program," the blatantly illegal stuff like smuggling money, etc.. When it became obvious that nothing I said was ever going to have any effect, I split. But it still does amaze me, 24 years later, to run into people who still believe in TM Santa Claus.

I think it should read "TMOer" because that's really what you are referring to: someone in the TM organisation that takes instructions from the TMO and MMY. That's NOT a TMer: a TMer is one who practises the TM program and doesn't follow a guru nor is involved in the TMO. Yahoo!

I never use the term 'master,' so it wouldn't come up. If I were trying to come up with a definition for what I'd consider a happening spiritual teacher, it would involve one who was capable of teaching via direct transmission. That is, being able to give every student the subjective experience of every state of conscious- ness he talked about and teach any technique he knew, all without a word. But that's just personal preference. ever Yahoo!

That's actually a good point, and I agree with it. However, it should be obvious from a few people here that you don't actually have to have any position within the TM organization to be as much of a True Believer as those who are. In fact, I think that sometimes it actually *helps* to perpetuate one's illusions about Maharishi to have never met him, or even seen him, except on videotape.

Although I have no statistics to rely on, we all know that hundreds of thousands of Americans -- as well as others across the world -- did indeed start TM in the '70s and '80s and at least some are still practising it.

[FairfieldLife] MUM memo on Lynch weekend
>From a friend: this email was sent last week within mum -- you can post this but leave my name off Dear Faculty and Ideal Administrators, It now appears that about 750-800 people will be joining us from around the country. Here are some thoughts regarding our interactions with visitors: We're not trying to sell the visitors anything, nor convince of them of anything. Everything should be simple and easy to understand. When visitors ask questions, we give short clear answers. They don't want a long discourse on the subject. The visitors won't respond so well to self-laudatory "how great we are" responses to questions. Also, we shouldn't use their question as a launching pad to go off on other subjects. If they want to know more, be assured they will ask more questions. With the right kind of answers, the questions will flow. When we've given our brief answer, we can say something like "Did I answer your question well enough?" Guided self-discovery is highly effective. The "let me tell you" approach isn't. Thanks so much!

You just used it above, twice. You obviously have some definition of "master" in mind, because you've just told us MMY is a "lame" example of a master.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That must be why you were already spending half your days dialoguing on a forum devoted to MMY's teachings and people's experiences with it and his movement *back in 1994*, when the movement was still going strong.
