[FairfieldLife] The text editor designed for writing to TMers
It's what you've always wanted, a text editor that dumbs what you're trying to say down to the max by restricting you to the 1,000 most common words in the English language (really ten hundred if I were writing this using the editor). http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2013/01/up-goer-five.html? http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/culturelab/2013/01/up-goer-five.html?\ To show how this would be useful when communicating to TMers who want to believe that if you dumb something down enough that they can understand it they actually understand it, here's the editor describing string theory... :-) Things are made of small bits. Some of the bits are made of even smaller bits. There are many different kinds of bits. Even light is made of very small bits flying very fast. If we look carefully at the smallest kinds of bits they look like little points. But we don't really know if this is true, because the bits are very small and it is hard to look at things that are so small. It turns out that we know how to make most things out of point-bits, but one thing is hard. We know everything falls down or actually everything always falls towards everything else. The force that does this is hard to make out of little point-bits if we try to do this we get too many little point-bits flying around. There is one way to fix it: we realize that the little bits are actually not points but long things! The long things are wrapped tight and it is hard to see them because they are so small and a very small wrapped long thing looks just like a point. But then the long things make fun things happen. The force that makes things fall comes out! Wow! And all kinds of other things too! In fact all the different kinds of bits that we see come from just one kind of wrapped long thing moving in different ways. This is great! One idea explains many different things and so we are happy. There are some little problems still but we are working hard and it is possible that everything around us in space, near by, all of it can be understood from one simple idea of wrapped long things.

The memorial will be inaugurated by Jyotishpeethadheeshwara Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati, of Badrikashram, Himalaya. The devotees of Maharishi include many famous personalities. Maharishi Yogi , who died on February 5, 2008 at his residence in Netherlands, was cremated at his ashram at Arail, the opposite side of Sangam. It was then announced that a huge memorial, having over 1000 Kalash (a circular mound over the temple roof) with golden plating and executed by Indian and German architects, would be built at the spot. Giving details, Raja Harris Kaplan, in charge of India for the global country of world peace, and Dr Girish Chandra Varma told TOI that the Smarak would be unveiled on February 15, i.e, Basant Panchmi. The architect of the Samadhi is M/S Chhaganlal Rewashankar Sompura of Gujarat, presently headed by Nipam Sompura, whose family has designed many temples and buildings. Along with him, Dr Eike Hartmann from the Institute of Vedic City Planning, Maharishi University of Management ment , Holland, has also put in tireless efforts in building the memorial, said Dr Girish Chandra Varma. The memorial has been built at a cost of Rs 40 crore. The Maharishi Smarak will be a place of pilgrimage, the source of knowledge and inspiration for future generations and along with Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati of Badrikashram, Himalaya, many other seers will attend the function, said Harris. Along with them, Dr Tony Nadar, known as Maharaja Nader Raam, the first sovereign ruler of Maharishi's global country of world peace, and around 20 other Rajas, each for different fields and in charge of different countries and eight ministers of the Global Country of World Peace, will attend the function, he added. The outer diameter of the structure spans for 108 feet by 108 feet while the height is 81 metres. The top of the structure would have 1008 Kalash, all having gold plating. The smarak will be directly connected to the main road running besides the Ganga while the main entrance will have gopurams (gateways) from three directions. The road to the memorial will have 12 mandaps. Each of these mandap would depict 12 areas of teaching taught by Maharishi. The entire structure has been made from stone, wood and copper clamps. The interiors have been furnished by marble. TOI visited the memorial and saw that it's nearing completion; mansions have beautifully carved, the pillars made of marble and the dome has beautiful carvings. The surroundings of the memorial are being decked up for the big occasion. Although Harris did not confirm if celebrities like award-winning filmmaker and musician

To show how this would be useful when communicating to TMers who want to believe that if you dumb something down enough that they can understand it they actually understand it, here's the editor describing string theory... :-) Things are made of small bits. Some of the bits are made of even smaller bits. There are many different kinds of bits. Even light is made of very small bits flying very fast. If we look carefully at the smallest kinds of bits they look like little points. But we don't really know if this is true, because the bits are very small and it is hard to look at things that are so small. It turns out that we know how to make most things out of point-bits, but one thing is hard. We know everything falls down -- or actually everything always falls towards everything else. The force that does this is hard to make out of little point-bits -- if we try to do this we get too many little point-bits flying around. There is one way to fix it: we realize that the little bits are actually not points but long things! The long things are wrapped tight and it is hard to see them because they are so small and a very small wrapped long thing looks just like a point. But then the long things make fun things happen. The force that makes things fall comes out! Wow! And all kinds of other things too! In fact all the different kinds of bits that we see come from just one kind of wrapped long thing moving in different ways. This is great! One idea explains many different things and so we are happy. There are some little problems still but we are working hard and it is possible that everything around us -- in space, near by, all of it -- can be understood from one simple idea of wrapped long things.

Dear Share Long,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO4LyKd-Hws
As her mentor, and someone who will understand why *we heart
Emily*, the committee of FFL NEMO's would like you to speak with Emily on our
behalf.
As you know, the NEMO's are group of nobody's who seem to
stick together for no other reason then to irritate hyper-cool posters who can
really type fast. We use mantras, hate koans, and believe you're enlightened if
you say you are. We laugh a lot about stuff that isn't that funny, and
exaggerate our sense of irony (which isn't hard in a place like this).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSrUFKp1qVQ
As I'm sure you're aware, Emily's posts yesterday had a
certain quality of: The Long Goodbye; don't get me wrong, I've
personally experienced much longer goodbyes, when the 4th ex's lawyer got done
with me I realized the 4th had been saying goodbye since the day we met,
fifteen years previously; but back to Emily (sorry, NEMO's tend to digress), so
before we hear those black swan wings of Emily's hitting the surface of the lake
as she soars away from FFL *in search of a meaningful existence*, the committee
of FFL NEMO's would like you to inform Emily, that we have decided that she is
exhibiting all the symptoms of someone about to *POP* into UNITY, and if this
is true, since she does not use a mantra, its obvious this onset of UNITY was
brought
on by the group DHARSHAN of the posters of FFL; we figure all that's needed to
stabilize Emily's UNITY is for her to declare her enlightenment before she
takes flight; if nothing else her declaration will help us rationalize why so
many of us are not leaving with her.

And lastly, Share Long, could you please inform Emily, on
behalf of the NEMO's, that comedy is just tragedy on a controlled substance

Dear Bob, my shield of human-ness has taken a lot of hits of late and I am
trying on a new reality - that of emulating Share's approach to me and all
others' she has determined are exhibiting negativity - particularly of the
nasty and sniping variety. I found this treasure tonight (under the heading
Auric Shield) on an internet healing site, so I know that it has a lot of
street cred. Share has mastered this technique and I think she may have
written these exact words, in fact (the ones in the first paragraph.)
What this means is for me is: no more attempts to creatively insult; no more
cynicism or irony; no helping others help themselves with pseudo-insightful
observations; no more self-serving, creepy humor. Now, you must realize, I've
been practicing and learning all these important skills right here, but I have
seen the gemstone of therapeutic wonderment and have had a change of being.
The heart on the sleeve shield I have been using is covered in blood spatter

grandiose proportions over the holidays (Share, poor woman, had to weather the
bulk of my distress); I have been kicked out of the inner circle of my favorite
cute (I mean cult) leader, who has apparently retired to the sandy beaches of
somewhere for more introspection.
I am going to visualize an auric shield, as described below (paragraph 2) and
go forth into the wide world of wonderfulness; it is an apt consequence to my
many irritating digressions from love and logic that FFL so patiently and
compassionately allowed me to display, as I flailed and wallowed my way back,
these past 2 years, to a state where I believe that I may be able to act as

My astrological chart tells me that February is the month for me to move to the
front lines, go where the action is, feel the fear and do it anyway, take up
drawing, unpack the clothes, become accountable, raise my standards, take care
of business, etc., etc., etc.
I guess I say all this to say that my recovery from cluelessness and cynicism
is likely to be of painfully long duration, but I am confident that my auric

be there (I do tend to run a bit late, but I'll work on that too), to distract

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The text editor designed for writing to TMers
Your problem was that you are running Windoze. On Linux it's all much simpler and Linux text editors already have syntax highlighting built in. That's what Notepad2 is about and the XAMPP site recommended it. If you want more then you use a programmer's IDE like Eclipse. And of course the Windoze install of Python came with IDLE for editing. The problem on Windoze was it's lame path names which uses forward slashes which need to be handled specially because a forward slash in ASCII also denotes a special character such as a carriage return. Linux and Unix use forward slashes in paths. Also there was also bug with PHP, fixed in Linux but not Windoze were the mail routines needed a @ added to work. Programming languages already have fewer words anyway. Should we all be talking in if then else statements? :-D On 02/01/2013 06:22 AM, Alex Stanley wrote: Maybe if Bhairitu wrote those PHP and Python scripts with it, I wouldn't have so much trouble getting them to work.

To show how this would be useful when communicating to TMers who want to believe that if you dumb something down enough that they can understand it they actually understand it, here's the editor describing string theory... :-) Things are made of small bits. Some of the bits are made of even smaller bits. There are many different kinds of bits. Even light is made of very small bits flying very fast. If we look carefully at the smallest kinds of bits they look like little points. But we don't really know if this is true, because the bits are very small and it is hard to look at things that are so small. It turns out that we know how to make most things out of point-bits, but one thing is hard. We know everything falls down — or actually everything always falls towards everything else. The force that does this is hard to make out of little point-bits — if we try to do this we get too many little point-bits flying around. There is one way to fix it: we realize that the little bits are actually not points but long things! The long things are wrapped tight and it is hard to see them because they are so small and a very small wrapped long thing looks just like a point. But then the long things make fun things happen. The force that makes things fall comes out! Wow! And all kinds of other things too! In fact all the different kinds of bits that we see come from just one kind of wrapped long thing moving in different ways. This is great! One idea explains many different things and so we are happy. There are some little problems still but we are working hard and it is possible that everything around us — in space, near by, all of it — can be understood from one simple idea of wrapped long things.

The University Report. It's a very good attempt by some at transparency. Evidently no financial statements to review but at least there is a budget and strategic plan to look at. For some while in recent years there has been a lot of resource going in to and things going on around MUM campus for the University. Visibly there has been quite a lot of investment in campus facility, buildings and infrastructure. You can see the scale and direction of things in this report, page 61. It's good.

Enlightenment explained in the Up-Goer Five text editor: Real seeing is a hard idea to understand. Real stuff instead of not real stuff as feeling and thinking. Inside and outside a person, as an idea is not real. They are one thing. Or perhaps a not thing, but something like a thing. They are together. They are quiet and still. They are not really two things, like two different ideas. If you are still enough when not asleep and your eyes are open, you will see and feel this. Focus and not focus, one after the other. Doing and not doing one after the other. Not being still and being still, one after the other. Then at some time the two, as you had thought before, will become one and you can not tell them from each other. Nothing else will be because only the real is left over.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Marshy's Guru Status
Interesting point MJ - spot on. I thought MMY was of Baniya - trader, businessman caste - considering he was able to sell (and con) so successfully. But Wiki entry suggests he was Kayastha - writer caste. But I tend to agree with this guy - quote in references at the end - Swami Swaroopanand, successor to Guru Dev, in a village near Tibet. The swami tells Sieveking that the Maharishi, from a trader caste, was merely Guru Dev's bookkeeper and. Besides, he notes, Gurus don't sell their knowledge, they share it. Spot on - the last sentence, a Brahmin would be very disinclined to sell - other than an idiot, con like SSRS, for example- I have had no fascination for money since my childhood, it has nothing but utilitarian value for me.

Brahmins were the keepers and distributors of knowledge.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Marshy's Guru Status
In reading a little about dharma I found that there is supposed to be universal dharma or that for everyone to follow, and caste specific dharma. Universal dharma is supposed to be: 1.Contentment, 2.forgiveness, 3.self-restraint, 4.non-stealing, 5.purity, 6.control of senses, 7.discrimination between right and wrong, as also between the real and the unreal, 8. spiritual knowledge, 9.truthfulness and 10.absence of anger come under the general or universal Dharma. So we see by this that Marshy violated 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 at least. Plus violating kshastriya dharma - good afterlife he must be having if you believe such stuff.

I do recall hearing or reading that initiation was to be performed only by Brahmins, but I don't know how reliable that is. At any rate, I always assumed one big reason Maharishi was so insistent on the puja to Guru Dev was that TM teachers weren't Brahmins, so if they performed puja to Guru Dev before giving the mantra, they would in effect be passing the responsibility for the initiate on to him. Maharishi himself, as I understand it, performed the puja before giving the mantra. But I could be all wet on that. There are surely other reasons for the puja as well, as teachers here have noted. and Brahmin stuff like that Such as?

Re: [FairfieldLife] BrahMahrishi's SatGuru Status
Srijau baby - Perhaps you should focus more on the story of Vishwamitra rather than make delusional statements like Maharishi Shukadeva, who reveals Maharishi Mahesh Yogi thousands of years previous to his birth You can clearly see the battles or the odds Vishwamitra fought to overcome his Kshatriya samskaaras - his samskaaras with power, sex. Compare Vishwamitra against Vasishtha - for whom it very naturally - the Brahmin Samskaraas made it easy for him. Vishwamitra's story is definitely an inspiration, a real good metaphor - to quote him in the context of MMY who couldn't overcome his lust for money, power and sex is delusional.

Re: [FairfieldLife] BrahMahrishi's SatGuru Status
It is true he gave praise to Guru Dev early on, but by the time he dropped his mortal coil, it was Maharishi's picture that adorned every corner and wall of the TMO - that was by his design in my opinion. Also: It is said in Padma Purana that Dharma proceeds from continence, truthfulness, austerity, charity, self-control, forbearance, purity, non-violence, serenity and non-thieving and that one should recognize Dharma by these ten factors. According to this Purana, bestowing gifts on deserving persons, fixing one’s thoughts on Lord Krishna, adoration of one’s parents, offering a portion of the daily meal to all creatures and giving a morsel of food to a cow are the characteristics of Dharma. According to Matsya Purana, freedom from malice, absence of covetousness, control of the senses, austerity, celibacy, compassion, truthfulness, forbearance and fortitude constitute the fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma. from the site: http://www.hinduism.co.za/dharma.htm Marshy told a lot of lies, he did not practice self control or celibacy, he certainly did not practice non-thieving - but all who think he was a saint will go on thinking so.

Re: [FairfieldLife] BrahMahrishi's SatGuru Status
Anyway with the help of the idiot Srijau we can conclude that - neither could Maharishi acquire Brahmin samskaraas(needed to be a moral, ethical purveyor of knowledge) by birth nor could he like Vishwamitra acquire it through hard work, dedication, persistence.

Some of the bits are made of even smaller bits. There are many different kinds of bits. Even light is made of very small bits flying very fast. If we look carefully at the smallest kinds of bits they look like little points. But we don't really know if this is true, because the bits are very small and it is hard to look at things that are so small. It turns out that we know how to make most things out of point-bits, but one thing is hard. We know everything falls down or actually everything always falls towards everything else. The force that does this is hard to make out of little point-bits if we try to do this we get too many little point-bits flying around. There is one way to fix it: we realize that the little bits are actually not points but long things! The long things are wrapped tight and it is hard to see them because they are so small and a very small wrapped long thing looks just like a point. But then the long things make fun things happen. The force that makes things fall comes out! Wow! And all kinds of other things too! In fact all the different kinds of bits that we see come from just one kind of wrapped long thing moving in different ways. This is great! One idea explains many different things and so we are happy. There are some little problems still but we are working hard and it is possible that everything around us in space, near by, all of it can be understood from one simple idea of wrapped long things.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: BrahMahrishi's SatGuru Status
Thanks Ravi - I can only speak about my experiences and from my belief - I don't know Robin and can only go by what others say - no one on FFL has been shy about making comments about him and of course he had more experiences with Maha than I or possibly than a lot of others here - I hope Robin will forgive me speaking of him without being asked - I guess when you go through an experience you have to make the best of it. I do realize as I have said in other posts that I believe Maharishi had great energy (meaning lots of it) one could say he was charismatic and that he like apparently Robin, Muktananda, Guru Mai, Fred Lentz, Chuck Anderson ( a course in miracles guy who started his own little kingdom called the Endeavor Academy in Wisconsin) and others had the ability to spark spiritual experiences in others - experiences that others then took the leap of faith with - the leap of faith where one believes the guru is enlightened. The worst thing you can do IMO because then you give the guy a free pass no matter what he does cuz he's enlightened and can do no wrong. It still amazes me that all one has to do these days is profess enlightenment or to be awakened to have a bunch of followers - I recently saw one such on BATGAP - someone I know from the past and had interactions with for a while - if they are awakened then I am a rabbit.

The reader doesn't get that from you - I would have wanted you to be more like a jilted lover but like I said you sound like a child who has his toys taken away. Where are the ups and downs, the good and the bad times - all the range of complex emotions, the journey, the hurts, the disappointments, the love, the attachment, the feelings of loss, despair - maturity, wisdom - you show nothing dude. It's too late now - 'cause you can't just make up shit now. So continue on your merry way MJ - like I said you may come across as childish and stunted but you are lovable and guileless. I love you baby.

I do realize as I have said in other posts that I believe Maharishi had great energy (meaning lots of it) one could say he was charismatic and that he like apparently Robin, Muktananda, Guru Mai, Fred Lentz, Chuck Anderson ( a course in miracles guy who started his own little kingdom called the Endeavor Academy in Wisconsin) and others had the ability to spark spiritual experiences in others - experiences that others then took the leap of faith with - the leap of faith where one believes the guru is enlightened. The worst thing you can do IMO because then you give the guy a free pass no matter what he does cuz he's enlightened and can do no wrong. It still amazes me that all one has to do these days is profess enlightenment or to be awakened to have a bunch of followers - I recently saw one such on BATGAP - someone I know from the past and had interactions with for a while - if they are awakened then I am a rabbit.

Ravi dearest, just bear in mind that you aren't exactly getting an objective view of Maharishi from the folks who post here. He certainly wasn't perfect, but fraud and some of the other terms being thrown around may be a little too strong. Certainly a little too strong dear Judy, just going for the shock value of it. I'm sure MMY was innocent in his quest for transforming the world - certainly not when he ended. Heck - Amma was quite innocent as she ran in a mystically deceived state to pose as Krishna which subsequently started her enterprise. MJ does seem to obsessively focus on all TM ills but I would take him any day compared to Srijau, Buck, Feste. I pretty much read all MJ's posts but he doesn't across as vindictive or dishonest like Barry, Vaj and others so very hard to disregard him in spite of his relentless anti-TM posts - he comes across as pretty innocent, guileless in his criticisms. Yet even though MJ doesn't come across as dishonest or vindictive like Barry or Vaj - he definitely doesn't capture all the complexities, subtleties - they don't have the strength of character of someone like Robin. But then Robin is Robin, one of a kind, genius and his posts on MMY are like the high water mark. MJ's posts do come across as trivial, frivolous, superficial - something akin to a child complaining about toys being taken away by their parents - you would empathize with a child rather than explain why the toys might have been taken away. So something childish, undeveloped, weak about his posts but he is lovable :-)
[FairfieldLife] Re: BrahMahrishi's SatGuru Status
You know Mike, I think you could help yourself if you could stay on one line of reasoning. If you want to say that Maharishi had a big ego, fine. If you want to cite as evidence all programs to which he attached Maharishi, fine. I mean there may have been legal reasons to do so, but I am not going to argue the point. But, to me you come off as sort of stupid to suggest that there was some effort of M's part to diminish the role of Guru Dev. And to suggest that pictures of Guru Dev were replaced by pictures of M, I think is some myth you have created in your mind. In my case, I think the only picture I had of Guru Dev was my Puja picture. All the other pictures I had in my room were those of Maharishi. I don't think you understand the relationship between Maharishi and Guru Dev. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson wrote: I didn't say he ever stopped praising Guru Dev - I said that he wanted to be the Big Cheese himself and he allowed or directed the praise to be heaped upon himself. I mean what more proof do you need than to look at any TM website - do you see any Guru Dev pics there? How many compared to the number of pics of Maha? Look at the pictures of various Movement facilities - the interior of the buildings have Maha pics all over the place - where are the GD pics?

It beats me how anyone, especially from India can revere a guy who was so arrogant as to say that he alone of all the sadhus, gurus and holy men of India, he alone had the enlightenment to be able to discern and bring forth the full value of natural law into things that have been taught for hundreds or thousands of years in India like jyotish and yagya!! He had to put his personal stamp on yagyas for God's sake? and you folks can't see that is blatant ego?

Anybody else have the impression that Maharishi stopped, or even reduced, his praise of Guru Dev at any point? Were pictures of Guru Dev replaced by pictures of Maharishi at any TM facility, does anyone know?

You know Mike, the thought has crossed my mind, that you made a pass in this direction. One that fell flat, and that this may be a reason for your animosity towards all things TMO. It sounds like maybe you had a bit too much integrity to push it too far. But nonetheless, it pisses you off (to no end) to see someone get away with what (you feel, at least) is fake enlightenment, or at least who promotes a fake program of enlightenment. (or so you feel)

Some Pandits (Brahmins) say they practiced their practice from their own family lineage, sharing their knowledge within the TMO. They also could attain a title of Guru or Maharishi, if followers (disciples)followed, but the TMO would of course not want for that to happen? (because the Pandits worked for the movement after answering newspaper ads in India to work for the TMO.) Some say they were not paid for their work sometimes, or extremely delayed payments and they had families to support back home.

Michael, Maharishi *was* the Big Cheese himself. Guru Dev was, you know, like, dead. What I want to know is whether there's any evidence that Maharishi deliberately shifted the balance of devotion from Guru Dev to himself from what it was to start with. I don't know, I'm asking. I mean what more proof do you need than to look at any TM website - do you see any Guru Dev pics there? How many compared to the number of pics of Maha? Look at the pictures of various Movement facilities - the interior of the buildings have Maha pics all over the place - where are the GD pics? I'm not gonna do a survey, but again, Michael, Maharishi founded the TMO and ran it until he died; all the teaching came from him. I don't see anything sinister in the fact that there are more pictures of him on TMO Websites and in TMO facilities than there are of Guru Dev. Plus how many more Maharishi this-es and thats do you need to see he wanted to be remembered? To be praised? Maharishi Ayurveda - Maharishi Jyotish - Maharishi Sthapatya Veda - Maharishi Vedic Centers - Maharishi Yagya - Maharishi Jyotish - Maharishi Yagya? His name and picture are a branding device, and a good one; it makes the products and services instantly recognizable in the marketplace. What would you have used instead? It beats me how anyone, especially from India can revere a guy who was so arrogant as to say that he alone of all the sadhus, gurus and holy men of India, he alone had the enlightenment to be able to discern and bring forth the full value of natural law into things that have been taught for hundreds or thousands of years in India like jyotish and yagya!! He had to put his personal stamp on yagyas for God's sake? Would you say the same about the TM technique? If you don't think TM is unique among currently available techniques, you could make a case. But all the other approaches, at least theoretically, are based on regular, effortless transcending via TM--either in the development or the execution, or both--so in that sense, if TM is unique, they're unique too. The fact that these approaches have been around for thousands of years is exactly why a distinctive branding device is necessary, to distinguish the purportedly unique TMO products from the earlier versions. and you folks can't see that is blatant ego? I don't think anyone would deny that Maharishi had a big ego. But you'd just about *have* to have a big ego to accomplish what he did, even if it wasn't ultimately successful. One could even make a case that Maharishi wanted there to be no doubt that Guru Dev wasn't responsible for any of it in order to protect Guru Dev's memory from any criticism that was going to be directed at what he, Maharishi, had done. Michael, I just think you're going overboard. It's one thing to cite the crappy stuff he did and criticize it as such; it's quite another to attribute it to the basest possible motivations. And it's something else again to portray just about everything he did as crappy without considering other reasonable explanations. We all know (or at least almost all of us do) that Maharishi was flawed as a human being; we're all disappointed that his promises haven't been fulfilled. But that doesn't automatically equate to his being a cynical con man. There's a lot of territory between that and an innocent but deluded would-be messiah, and I think it makes a lot more sense to see him as falling somewhere in between.

[FairfieldLife] Awakened Awareness
So here is the deal In addition to good thoughts and teachings, The Bible is filled with inaccuracies, baloney and outright lies. Yet when people who seek God read and study the Bible, they often can have powerful experiences of what one might call Holy Spirit. One of the biggest (in my opinion) frauds in the New Age area are the set of books known as the Unveiled Mystery series (which they used to sell under the counter at the 21st Century book store). This is a series of books supposedly channeled by a fellow named Guy Ballard who claimed to have a close personal relationship with a bunch of the Ascended Masters. These books are fraudulent and Ballard never did any of the crap he claims, yet for those who believe, they can read the books and feel great energy that they attribute to the Ascended Masters. Maharishi took elements of Hindu practice and belief, Indian cultural and Vedic elements and cobbled together “his” own schtick and passed it off as ancient knowledge. And since it contains elements of truth, when one is exposed to it, one can feel great energy. This occurs due to the fact that we are made of energy, of God Light, Pure Awareness or Presence or whatever you want to call it. We in truth don’t need any gurus or leaders or books to find this Self, this True Energy Self, cuz it is who we are. So when we are exposed to aperson, place, thing, animal, or book that REMINDS us of who we are, we suddenly have a “shift” of awareness that we then ATTRIBUTE to the book, guru, place or partner. It don’t have shit to do with Maharishi or Maharishi’s “knowledge” or the Bible or a Master, embodied or disembodied – it has to do with the fact that for that moment of time we remembered who we are. That’s it. We don't need the gurus and they know it, but don't want us to know it cuz then the gravy train is over for them.
