Now, was there a cause and effect relationship between the crow landing on a branch over here and the coconut falling off another branch over there? Well, there may be or there may not be. We will never know. We can only make up stories about either the connection between these two events or the lack of any such connection and hope that the stories inspire us. Life just expands. Spending a lot of time assign- ing a cause to those moments in which expands a great deal seems to me like a waste of time. Better to just surf the wave of expansion. Part of the problem I have with what I see as *reductionist* conclusions, like the one above *...better to just surf the wave of expansion... is it categorically disallows the possibility that some people, maybe many people, actually enjoy the process of thinking about and analyzing things. Many people enjoy masturbating, too. When it comes to figuring out the real cause and effect relation- ships of events in the world, I suggest there is a parallel. :-) That is, if you enjoy, it, pound away. But I really don't believe that you'll ever find an answer that has any particular truth to it. If you read a bit of ayurveda you learn about the pitta mind v. the vata mind. More theories. Theories are nice for people who get off on them; I prefer experience. If you ever read Dr. Bernard Jensen, he talks about the calcium type who is not prone to deep analysis (can't remember which of his types are the thinkers). It's an individual thing, don't you think? For some analysis is serious, they need to know. The point of the analogy is that there are some things they can *never* know. Ever. No matter how long they ponder or study them. Enlightenment will not change this; they *still* won't know. For those who see analysis as silly, it's...well...silly and they cannot figure out why anyone would bother to try to figure it out. Oh, I can understand it. I like to analyze myself from time to time. I just don't consider it any more meaningful than whacking off, that's all.

[FairfieldLife] 'From PSYOP to Mindwar Fox News'
"From PSYOP to Mindwar: The Psychology of Victory" is a military paper on psychological warfare, written by Lt. Col. Michael Aquino and Col. Paul E. Vallely in 1980. It was sent, writes Aquino, "to various governmental offices, agencies, commands and publications involved or interested in PSYOP." I think it bears a close read now, because it describes a top-down psychological conditioning Americans may find familiar. And it's not insignificant to note that co-author Vallely is now senior military analyst for FOX News... Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

The other night the Arte channel here played a 1965 film by Peter Watkins called The War Game. I was riveted to the screen. What it is a mockumentary, dealing with what would be the real, documented effects of a nuclear strike on Britain at that time. Although parts are played by actors, the data on which the film was based was all real, straight from official government documents. It's one of the most powerful pieces of propaganda -- or more accurately anti-propaganda -- I've ever seen. It's anti-propaganda because Watkins had noticed the almost *total* lack of discussion of or explanation of the realities of nuclear war -- in the press, from the government, period. *Everyone* had their heads firmly stuck in the sand, and were proceeding at full speed with the Cold War and the arms race, as if none of these facts about what actually *happens* to *people* when a nuclear weapon is used were relevant. So he acted it out onscreen, showing how many people would be blinded by the initial burst, then how many would die in the next few days from burns, over the next few weeks from dehydration, etc. It's just horror- provoking, and this was in an era where the data he was working from dealt with bombs that were in the one-megaton range, not today's 50-to-100 megaton weapons. It struck me how disassociated people can become with regard to horror. He read from official government documents stating that nuclear weapons were definitely feasible, and then showed exactly what feasible would mean in terms of the number of dead, maimed, and incur- ably insane Britons. The film was originally funded by the BBC, and then banned from being telecast when the government saw what it contained. It was not, however, banned from being shown in theaters, and went on to show in many places, and to win the Acadamy Award for Best Documentary that year. Still powerful, still relevant...if you can find it somewhere, it's a real eye-opener. Very, very powerful piece of filmmaking. It made me realize that the amazing thing is that we have managed *NOT* to blow ourselves off the planet in the inter- vening 40 years. With so many people in so many positions of power ignoring the realities of nuclear war, and saying that it is both feasible and survivable, it's an absolute miracle that we're all still here.

If Jyotish sages did not know the difference, many thousands of years ago, between stars and planets, then they would have confounded the two in setting up Jyotish (the star Sirius is brighter than Saturn), but they did not: Hindus did make many significant early contributions to astronomy, here's one of many good articles: http://www.hvk.org/articles/0802/214.html But the theory that only enlightened vedic sages traveling throughout the universe knew about the planets in ancient history is not true. Here's one of many sources on history of astronomy: http://www.astroenergetics.com/HTML/History.html Astronomy-astrology is said to have originated with the Chaldeans, in Babylon, Mesopotamia, (now Iraq) around the fourth millennium BC. It was practiced in the temples, where it was blended with religious elements. Later, it spread to Egypt, and around the third millennium BC was being used by rulers to predict the fate of nations: war or peace, famine or plenty. The Chinese were also skilled astronomers, and are thought to have independently begun to use forms of prediction, along with the Maya of Central America and the peoples of ancient India. Some experts believe that Chinese astronomy may extend as far back as 5000 BC. Recent researches into the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza suggest that observation of heavenly bodies may have even more distant origins. There is startling new evidence that the principal Giza monuments form an accurate terrestial map of the three stars of Orion's belt as these constellations appeared in 10,500 BC.

Title: Bob Liatunik Robert Liatunick, 1948-2006 Dear Meditating Community, I am so sorry to tell you my brother, Robert Liatunick, passed away on Thursday, May 4 in Pittsburgh, Pa. after a short (but seemingly long) bout with liver cancer which he wanted to keep private. Since 1973 he had taught Transcendental Meditation to 1300 people worldwide and was a devoted member of Purusha since 1982. His greatest joy was sharing the Vedic knowledge Maharishi Mahesh Yogi brought to the world and going for his own enlightenment. His second greatest joys were water sports, rocking out with the Stones, seeing the humor in the absurd and being part of our family. We will remember him as beloved son of Arline and the late George Liatunick, brother-in-law and best friend of Scott Walker, playful uncle of Ananda, Gabe and Nolan Walker whom he inspired to attend Maharishi University of Management, wise friend to many and my big brother~ truly the best brother I could have ever asked for. A Celebration of his Life will be held on his birthday, June 12th, in Fairfield, IA. All are welcome. May he enjoy soaring with the angels, Jai Guru Dev, Sheryl Walker and family [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://us.f322.mail.yahoo.com/ym/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sheryl and Scott Walker 6709 Dorsey Rd.

[FairfieldLife] Hi from Curtis
For the people who said nice things, or listened to my music, thanks! I knew many interesting people in the movement. Having pursued TM's programs intensely for 15 years, I gave it a fair shot. My break with the movement was in 1989, the same year I started playing guitar to back my harp. That may explain how I found the time to practice. This post got my attention: I suspect he's a person of extremes: from pro-TM fanatic to anti-TM fanatic, from buttoned-up bowtied executive type to grubby street musician... With my clean-cut picture on my Website, why would you describe me as grubby? My street-performing heroes, whose music I play; Robert Johnson, Son House and Charley Patton, were not grubby guys either. They wore suits. (Charley Patton wore a bow tie like Tucker Carlson!) Maybe it was Curt McDonald with the bow ties. I never owned one. I did work at the CNL before TTC but never threw anyone out on the street. I was just a lowly minion at the CNL. And now a word from Dr. Phil: Goodness only knows what he'll do if he gets tired of playing a bluesman. Will he ever feel free of the need to play a role, and play himself for a change? Having played Delta blues harp since I was 14 years old, performing my art is not a role. My blues show is a revival of a dying style of acoustic blues played in the open air. I have performed on the Riverfront boardwalk venue in Old Town, Alexandria for the last 10 years. I also teach a history of blues show in schools. The comment about my CD: that I sound like I was slightly holding back, was right on. Since I play all my instruments at once, and do not multi-track to correct errors, it is hard to go balls-out without having something go wrong somewhere on any given take. I play the pieces in the original weird guitar tunings, so keeping it all together is very difficult. So my first CD is a compromise from my live performance. It is an honest snapshot of my music though, so if you don't dig it you wouldn't be wowed by my live show. But a note in a live show hangs in the air for only a second, so I can take more risks and push the emotional edge further. To hear the real deal in a live setting, if you are in Fairfield, check out Catfish Keith at the Café Paradiso, Fri, Aug 11 at 8:00. He plays this style and totally rocks. The comment by the person who felt my music was soulless is literally true. I have no soul. I have been out of TM now longer than I was into it. My rejection of that life was not meant to be a rejection of the people I cared about in the movement. If any old friends want to contact me, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Thanks for an honest reply, Curtis. I hope your new (well, not really new at this point) life gives you much enjoyment.

Having played Delta blues harp since I was 14 years old, performing my art is not a role. My blues show is a revival of a dying style of acoustic blues played in the open air. I have performed on the Riverfront boardwalk venue in Old Town, Alexandria for the last 10 years. I also teach a history of blues show in schools. The comment about my CD: that I sound like I was slightly holding back, was right on. Since I play all my instruments at once, and do not multi-track to correct errors, it is hard to go balls-out without having something go wrong somewhere on any given take. I play the pieces in the original weird guitar tunings, so keeping it all together is very difficult. So my first CD is a compromise from my live performance. It is an honest snapshot of my music though, so if you don't dig it you wouldn't be wowed by my live show. But a note in a live show hangs in the air for only a second, so I can take more risks and push the emotional edge further. To hear the real deal in a live setting, if you are in Fairfield, check out Catfish Keith at the Café Paradiso, Fri, Aug 11 at 8:00. He plays this style and totally rocks. The comment by the person who felt my music was soulless is literally true. I have no soul. I have been out of TM now longer than I was into it. My rejection of that life was not meant to be a rejection of the people I cared about in the movement. If any old friends want to contact me, I would enjoy hearing from you.

I think girish just wants the business empire, which he appears to be in line for. Nader can keep the ceremonial crown and maybe for some TBs that will mean something, but from what I hear he has no real power over the accounts or on the boards of directors. With MMY gone, can either of them keep donations coming in at $1 million a pop? I dont' think so. Techniques teaching is pretty much dead. So controlling the various business operations and offshore accounts is what matters, and girish looks like the type of guy who understands that. (I don't know, maybe his putting his picture on par with MMYs is an attempt to cultivate a guru image in the Indian TMO and maybe those people are gullible to buy into that). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/photos/view/328a?b=2 I find this photo one of the most disturbing I have ever seen of any TMO photo. The immediate reason I feel this is for the obvious reason: this beloved nephew deems to put himself on the same level as MMY. How arrogant. How silly! It is so obvious as to how this guy feels about his place in the Movement that I am embarrassed for him. I don't think he has a clue in what light Westerners would see him when they see him -- while MMY is alive no less! -- putting himself in a photo beside MMY in a same sized photo on the same level. What this photo does is make me think of what happened to the Guru Maharaj Ji cult of the mid-70's. Remember him? He was the 13-year- old incarnation of God that had quite a following there for awhile. But the whole thing came crashing down one day -- out of the blue -- when unexpectedly (at least to the Westerners who followed him) his mother back in India announced that she and the family were disowning him and replacing him as God by his older brother. Of course, as a result, the whole family business took a nose-dive. The family just didn't have a clue: it was nutty enough in the first place that a 13-year-old could be the incarnation of God. But it was sellable in its outrageousness and enough drugged-out ex-hippies in the US and the Western World bought it to make it both a viable cult AND quite a financially-viable enterprise. BUT what the West wouldn't accept was a Mother rejecting her own son and replacing him as God with another son. This was just TOO nutty. And like the Stalin revelations by Kruschev in the mid-'50s which resulted in 90% of the American Communist Party giving up their membership, so did the little God's cult end overnight. The family just didn't get it; had they, I suggest, they would never have risked the family fortune by disowning the 13-year-old. Some other accomodation to the obvious rift between the son and the Mother would have been worked out. I suggest that their not getting it happened because this Indian family simply couldn't grasp the Western paradigm and culture and didn't assess what the fall-out would be; there was a disconnect between their Indian Eastern culture and the West. Indians would understand naming another son as God; Westerners said: enough! This is a cult and I won't have the wool pulled over my eyes anymore than it already has and I want out! Girish has the same problem. I am convinced this guy has designs on becoming MMY's successor. But what he doesn't realize is that just because he's a relative and that this may sell in India, no one in the West is going to buy into it. This is the first indications of the scism that will happen not too soon after MMY dies: Girish will proclaim himself and King Ram-A- Lama-Ding-Dong Nader will proclaim himself in Holland. And everyone in the Movement will take sides. And when that happens, everything will, of course, fall apart even more than they have fallen apart in the sorry state of affairs they're in today. So TMO people will join Girlish or Nader. But then a large contingent will move towards SSRS, simply because -- relative to these two other nutjobs -- at least SSRS looks like a guru, is young, and can act the part. So those are three schisms. The fourth schism will be the independents who will just say: fuck it, I'm teaching TM for whatever price is reasonable and I'm doing it on my own.

Yes, reasonable and pretty great thing to say: of course, no belief is necessary for TM to work and, indeed, you can scientifically measure the phenomenon to see if it works. This approach was wonderful and worked to the advantage of the movement. But when MMY started to paint the sides of scientific booklets gold and selectively publish and edit studies it, of course, turned people off.

[FairfieldLife] Question for Rick
In the Photos section you have posted two photos of MMY's girlfriends. What I find interesting is that you named both of them -- fully -- both first and last name. Isn't that something new on your part? If I remember correctly, in earlier references that you have made to both of them the farthest you went was just using their first names: Judith and Linda. Am I correct on this? And, if so, why are you revealing their last names now? Enquiring minds want to know...

[FairfieldLife] Gee, where have we heard this before?
Scientology nearly ready to unveil Super Power In the works for decades, the closely guarded spiritual training program will be revealed in Clearwater. By ROBERT FARLEY, Times Staff Writer Published May 6, 2006 - --- CLEARWATER - Matt Feshbach believes he has super powers. He senses danger faster than most people. He appreciates beauty more deeply than he used to. He says he outperforms his peers in the money management industry. He heightened his powers of perception in 1995 when he went to Los Angeles and became the first and so far only public Scientologist to take a highly classified Scientology program called Super Power. Where in L.A. did he do this? Just in Los Angeles, is all Feshbach will say. Super Power is that secret. Under wraps for decades, Super Power now is being prepped for its eventual rollout in Scientology's massive building in downtown Clearwater. That will be the only place worldwide where the program, much anticipated by Scientologists, will be offered. A key aim of Super Power is to enhance one's perceptions - and not just the five senses we all know - hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell. Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard taught that people have 57 perceptics. They include an ability to discern relative sizes, blood circulation, balance, compass direction, temperature, gravity and an awareness of importance, unimportance. Church officials won't discuss specifics of Super Power. But Feshbach and another prominent Clearwater Scientologist who, like Feshbach, is a major donor to Super Power's building fund, provided some details in interviews with the St. Petersburg Times. A group of former Scientologists who worked for the church on a campus in California where the program was in development also described elements of it. Super Power uses machines, apparatus and specially designed rooms to exercise and enhance a person's so-called perceptics. Those machines include an antigravity simulator and a gyroscope-like apparatus that spins a person around while blindfolded to improve perception of compass direction, said the former Scientologists. A video screen that moves forward and backward while flashing images is used to hone a viewer's ability to identify subliminal messages, they said. Hubbard promised Super Power would improve perceptions and put the person into a new realm of ability. He believed it would unlock abilities needed to spread Scientology across the planet. For Feshbach it's like nothing he has ever done in Scientology. I got it. I loved it, he gushed. Feshbach, 52, and his two brothers became famous in investment circles during the 1980s as the kings of short selling stocks - essentially betting which stocks will tank. At one point, the California-based Feshbach Bros. managed $1-billion for clients. Feshbach now lives in Belleair, where his wife, Kathy, runs a Scientology mission. Because he donated millions to the Super Power building fund, he was invited to undergo the program. It's geared toward creating a more competent spiritual being, he said. I'm not dependant on my physical body to perceive things. He offered this anecdote: He had just finished his perceptics training and was at the Los Angeles airport, preparing to fly home to the Tampa Bay area. He stood at a crosswalk with perhaps 20 others, including a woman and her son, an antsy boy 6 or 7 years old. As the light turned green, the boy bolted into the street, ahead of his mother. Feshbach perceived a pickup bearing down on the boy, driven by a young woman. He yelled and saved the boy's life by a quarter of an inch, he said. Coincidence? Feshbach doesn't think so. No one else saw the pickup, he says. He believes that, through the Super Power program, he elevated his perceptive abilities beyond those of the others at that crosswalk. His enhanced perceptions have played out numerous times since, he said. Super Power takes weeks, not months to complete, said Feshbach. He would not discuss the specific machines and drills that former Scientologists said are used to enhance perceptions. The perceptics portion of Super Power is one of 12 rundowns in the full program, Feshbach said. But it clearly is a key aspect. Details of Super Power training have been kept secret even from church members. Like much of Scientology training, details aren't revealed until one pays to take the course. Asked about Super Power, church spokesman Ben Shaw provided a written statement: Super Power is a series of spiritual counseling processes designed to give a person back his own viewpoint, increase his perception, exercise his power of choice, and greatly enhance other spiritual abilities. Shaw would not say how much the program will cost. Upper levels of Scientology training can run tens of thousands of dollars. He declined to provide further insight into Super Power. It's

Since I play all my instruments at once, and do not multi-track to correct errors, it is hard to go balls-out without having something go wrong somewhere on any given take. I play the pieces in the original weird guitar tunings, so keeping it all together is very difficult. So my first CD is a compromise from my live performance. I thought (and said) it was entirely possible your live performances were different. But never having seen you live, I could only comment on the recording.

Like witnessing a scene from a Vicksburg Mississippi train station, in the 1930's. It's a fine and honorable role, Curtis, but it *is* a role. I mean, just for one obvious thing, you're a white guy. What makes you think Curtis is a white guy? The comment about my CD: that I sound like I was slightly holding back, was right on. Since I play all my instruments at once, and do not multi-track to correct errors, it is hard to go balls-out without having something go wrong somewhere on any given take. I play the pieces in the original weird guitar tunings, so keeping it all together is very difficult. So my first CD is a compromise from my live performance. I thought (and said) it was entirely possible your live performances were different. But never having seen you live, I could only comment on the recording. It is an honest snapshot of my music though, so if you don't dig it you wouldn't be wowed by my live show. But a note in a live show hangs in the air for only a second, so I can take more risks and push the emotional edge further. That seemed to be more in evidence with your harp playing on the CD, which are superb. I'm glad you're doing something you enjoy--and are clearly damn good at--and it certainly is a pleasure to encounter you again in that very positive context (which, you'll have to admit, is a lot different from that of our previous encounters on alt.m.t).

[FairfieldLife] new movie: Water
I just saw a new movie called Water from the same woman who did Fire a few years ago. Water is incredible, about the life of widows in India during the 1930's as Ghandi was becoming known. We were all fairly speechless for about an hour after the movie ended. The juxtaposition of religous (in this case Hindu) rituals and beliefs with unkindess and cruelty is astonishing.

[FairfieldLife] Re: There's nothing girlish about him
After Maharishi reaches Samadhi, The Girish group needs Dr.Nader and Dr.Hagelin who have the Spiritual-Intellectual base to keep bringing in the Cash-flow. After Maharishi, Dr.Nader and Dr.Hagelin are the only Cash-Cows left. Without them I don't' see how the organisation would function. Somebody said, Dr. Bevan Morris is in charge of the Global Development Fund which is several hundred Million dollars.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hi from Curtis
Nice to hear from you Judy. I look back on the AMT days as an important experience for me. There were times when I felt misunderstood and very frustrated, but that stressful dynamic was the reason I kept at it so long. It was incredibly useful for me to articulate my thoughts about the movement in such detail, and it never would have happened without me being so pissed off at your messages. Since they are still on the Web, when I read some of our exchanges it makes me laugh. In fact your posts about me lately were a big reason I decided to drop in for a while. Of course this forum has gone way beyond anything I had to say back then. You guys know every good and bad detail of the movement from every possible angle. Most of you have now meditated over twice as long as I did! Anyone who gets into TM today has all the information they need to evaluate it online. The biggest downside for me in describing my objections to the movement, was that it was insulting to people who I did not want to hurt. That part sucked and ultimately was too high a price to continue to pay. Thanks for listening to my music. I appreciate your kind words about my harp playing.

He dismisses the murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust (which he says he accepts as fact for the sake of argument) as insufficient justification for the State of Israel's existence. And he implicitly accuses Bush of lying, which, while accurate, is not something you say to a leader with whom you are attempting to establish cooperative relations. I suppose it's conceivable that a brilliant statesperson could figure out how to use the letter to make direct talks with Iran possible, but the substance of the letter wouldn't give him or her much to work with. I think the administration's extreme demonization of Ahmadinejad is unwarranted and certainly not helpful in attaining any kind of rapprochement; but I don't think Ahmadinejad is just a well- meaning, misunderstood, humanitarian Boy Scout either.

He dismisses the murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust (which he says he accepts as fact for the sake of argument) as insufficient justification for the State of Israel's existence. And he implicitly accuses Bush of lying, which, while accurate, is not something you say to a leader with whom you are attempting to establish cooperative relations.

Re: [FairfieldLife] new movie: Water
Beautiful film, probably the best of the trilogy. I hope she goes on to do Air and Space (akasha). Sri Lanka was standing in for India because Mehta got run out of India by fundie Hindus when she tried to shoot the film in Varanasi. Her first husband Paul Saltzman was with Maharishi and the Beatles in Rishikesh and published a book recently of photographs from that experience. It is ashame that Indian cinema can't produce as good of films but the productions are slipshod, corrupted by politicians and Indian mafia, and a lack of an enforceable copyright laws makes them shoot the films quickly and without scripts or else some crook will take the script and rush it out even sooner. wayback71 wrote: I just saw a new movie called Water from the same woman who did Fire a few years ago. Water is incredible, about the life of widows in India during the 1930's as Ghandi was becoming known. We were all fairly speechless for about an hour after the movie ended. The juxtaposition of religous (in this case Hindu) rituals and beliefs with unkindess and cruelty is astonishing.

Why would this female wait til MMY has dropped his body to publish a book about this? Is there something he could refute/defend, like the fact that he was not her boyfriend and just her Guru? HELLO!

The nerve of twits. What a joke! I spent about an hour alone with MMY in 1971 in Fiuggi Fonte. OMG. At the end of our very private meeting, not another soul around, I told him how I loved him (like a father, brother, friend, Guru). Guess what he did? He got shy like a little school boy, handling nervously, the heap of flowers between us on the tabletop. Yep, real womanizer. And BTW, at 19, I wasn't hard to look at. He sent me happily on my way without so much as a wink, pat on the butt or head, or a come back and see me sometime. Not that it was expected. One innocent to another.

But that's the *game*, don't you see? He acts all humble and respectful and religious knowing perfectly well how they're going to respond, knowing it'll make him look good to the rest of the world and the Bushies look bad. Besides which, the letter was full of very carefully crafted subtle snark. (I'm sure Curtis would recognize it, wouldn't you, Curtis?) It was not meant to charm the administration, to the contrary. It was a well-played, savvy little bit of propaganda, much more sophisticated than anything Bush's team could come up with. But it was designed to get everybody *but* the U.S. on his side.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Hi from Curtis
Judy, You are giving me too much credit in two ways. Too much credit for being clever. Too much credit for being an asshole. I will post more tomorrow but this sums it up. Snarky is a fantastic word, and anytime snarky is used, John Stewart and Steven Colbert get a boner. Snarky is the new UC!

Rick, I think of something I remember reading that Paul McCartney said to John Lennon on his return to England from India. As you'll recall Ringo and Paul left earlier than George and John did, so Paul wasn't around when the alleged Sexie Sadie stuff went on in Rishikesh. Anyway, when John was telling him what he thought MMY had done with the babes, Paul said something to the effect: Well, what business is it of yours what MMY does in his private life? Sure, MMY has said he is a monk. But, hey, it was never a big emphasis on his part. And maybe he decided at one point NOT to continue being a monk. If that's the case, isn't he allowed to give in to the temptations that the rest of us are? Are any of the 5+ women that you cite claiming that he took advantage of them, abused them in any way, or did things to them against their will?

Doesn't that seem like a pretty low bar for a spiritual master? I mean gosh, I make this grade, even by Judy's perspective of me. You guys rock! I am so outclassed on this forum!

Doesn't that seem like a pretty low bar for a spiritual master? If all the accusations that Rick has reproduced are true, it would be a great disappointment. But I always ask the question: how would the expose of MMY alleged sexual pecadillos affect the practise of my TM? And the answer is: nada. It should work regardless of the failings or successes of any man, including a guru (who is not my guru, anyway). Indeed, I suggest that those TBers (= True Believers) who WOULD be affected by the information that MMY was fooling around are probably not doing the TM Program anyway; they're probably involved in some sort of guru/disciple relationship...which is fine but, hey, what does THAT got to do with TM?
