And he has done this for nearly 30 years. 2) Been president of a university with all the responsibilities that go along with it. 3) Organized, orchestrated, hosted International and National Conferences all over the world, many of which have been attended by the top thinkers of our time in nearly all areas of concern. 4) Made umpteen decisions, most of which we probably know absolutely nothing about, that affected the *bottom line*-probably decisions totalling in the billions of dollars. These are no small things and someone who deals with the upper upper echelon of people in the corporate world would be amazed to see the accomplishments of this person called Bevan who so many here like to put down for various reasons. I don't like him and his way of doing things, but I stand in awe of just how capable he is and for how many years he has constently functioned at this level. I worked with corporate executives and couldn't disagree more. I can't begin to see Bevan functioning outside the unique movt envt, esp at this point when he comes across as so imbalanced. I can't imagine bringing bevan in to try to talk executives into starting tm, or bevan successfully running an organization. Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level. He's hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and spiritually exciting place. It's been in decline ever since. Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the place financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing african students as a way for them to visas as computer programmers is keeping it afloat now. Of course donations still come in for building projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of bevan. No way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too weak, that's all bevan's doing. What specific project has bevan ever led that has been successful? In reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press releases or internal conferences. My experience in the tmo was that things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer fairfieldlife@ wrote: on 3/25/06 5:16 PM, MDixon6569@ at MDixon6569@ wrote: In a message dated 3/25/06 12:07:34 P.M.

He has a brilliant mind and is an articulate public speaker, if you like his style.

One of the theories given for this on the show is (and I hope I am representing this correctly) is that the XY chromosome which is what distinguishes a male from a female (women are XX) is a foreign substance to a woman when she is carrying a male child in her womb. As a result, her body secretes a kind of antibody to counter-act this foreign substance each time she carries a male child and, over time, this builds up. And this antibody will diminish the maleness of the XY and increase the feminine qualities of the male child. I'm a bit skeptical of this as stated, depending on what is meant by feminine qualities. Sounds as though this theory is based on a stereotype of gay men. Many of them aren't the least bit feminine except in that they find other men more sexually attractive than they do women. How would you measure scientifically the degree of feminine qualities in a male? If it's just a matter of outward appearance and how well it conforms to social notions of what is masculine and what is feminine, a lot of gay men wouldn't fit the theory at all. And how would you account for lesbians, among whom there is also a range from masculine-appearing to feminine-appearing? Yahoo!

Mark, This is so true. When I got my MA there in the early 90s, the one and only time we ever saw Bevan was at graduation, when he flew in just in time to hand out diplomas. As you say, he has little real idea of how to accomplish the day-to-day things that any good administrator needs to make to keep things running, and very few managerial skills that would enable such a large number of people to work together to keep the place going. If it hadn't been for the constant bailouts year after year he'd have been out of a job long ago. What he has contributed is not clear, but it sure isn't anything obvious or practical. The school has long been like a rudderless ship. He's hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and spiritually exciting place. It's been in decline ever since.

Anyway, the 8-1/2 x 11 handwritten, photocopied papers said, basically, We're tired of being in the closet and demand recognition. I can tell you, the whole thing made me extremely uncomfortable at the time, and I wasn't alone. (I had the usual hetero ick factor response that's come up in this forum.) But to make matters worse, the posters appeared on the day the North Central Accreditation Review Board was coming to campus. (Maybe this was the spring of 1980, because the school got accredited just before I graduated.) It was as if the gays were crying out to the wider world, We're in prison here. Help! I could not understand it in the least. I seem to recall, after the whole affair blew over, Bevan said something to the effect that that these people were trying to undermine our accreditation efforts and sabotage the image of the school before the wider world. You have to understand, we were *all about* proselytizing, hence the coats and ties. Anything that distracted from that clean-cut, mainstream image was strictly off the program. So this gay rights plea on the day the school was to be inspected by the outside academic world seemed like an averted catastrophe. (The posters were taken down right away, of course.) I don't know what the status of gays is in the TMO today. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] India Mirror of Truth book
I just finished this book and really enjoyed it. I wondered about the incidents with the siddha wo called himself Keshava. Dr. Pete, is that the incident you felt did not ring true? What was the response on that from Steve Briggs? I cannot find in the postings here. Also, what is going on with Steve now? Still involved in TM if not on Purusha?

I was better friends with his brother, Tom. Any idea what's up with him? Tommy Roth is gay and lives in San Francisco. He left Purusha many years ago to *come out*-saw a Jyotishi to find out the best time to *come out* and somehow-I guess because he comes from the famous Roth family, it's okay for him to be gay and recertified. He runs a very successful gay travel agency right on Castro Street in San Francisco In addition, he has stimulated quite a bit of TM related activity in SF as well. Yea, it looks like he's successful. Funny, he never seemed like he was too business minded. Did you say was recertified? I thought a qualification was full time - laddy da, laddy da. lurk Here's some links to his companies http://www.gaytravelnews.com/ http://www.communitymarketinginc.com/tagaccommodations.cfm Here's a quote by him from a different website: Tom Roth, president of Community Marketing, notes, Gays and lesbians tend to have more discretionary income, as very few have the expenses of child-rearing. But Roth also says that vacations offer a different kind of escape for homosexuals. There's often a need to get away, to be in an environment where you feel comfortable being open about your sexuality, he says.

Forget the gay thing...what you have just described is the entire history of the TM movement from Day One -- pretense and hiding its normality in the closet, Not from Day One. Maybe from Month Two or so. :-) Possibly so. It was already true with the IMS and SRM groups in L.A., even before SIMS was ever formed. SIMS is eternal, part of the Ved.:) I was thinking Squaw Valley 68, which you said you were there. It was not exactly a conformist camp. And pre 1970 the Berkeley Center -- while generally dignified, had some deifinte color. No one was turned away for lackof funds: you can't afford the $35, ok what can you pay?/. And things like, I remember one morning, Nat Goldhaber wandered down to the front desk, as a day of initiations was begining (he lived there) in his underwear, with cowboy boots on, yelling about this or that. Even first year mallorca was a bit loose. No ties, could grow breards. etc. I was shocked when I went to Fuiggi for rounding. Ties required, much more straight-laced. And I know a number of people who just did TM and remained quite counter-culture, counter-pretense. I'm sure there were many. But they didn't work within the TM movement. I'm talking about what it was like in the centers and the TM communities. followed by panic, paranoia and persecuation when the closet door is thrown open and all-too- normal interiors of the closet are revealed. It doesn't matter whether the pretense was about TM having so negative side effects, or about TM marriages never failing, or about no one in TM communities ever committing suicide or seeing shrinks, or about every- body being straight. Whatever the specifics were, the bottom line was always the same -- pretense. Pretending that the actuality of the life of a TMer conformed to Maharishi's claims of what the life of a TMer should be. And woe be unto him who pulls back the curtain on that pretense and reveals it for what it is.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Does a million $ buy loyalty?
--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, markmeredith2002 [...] Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level. Exactly the opposite of Rick's claim that he micromanages. He's hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. Rick says he's in constant contact, but he agrees with you about the fearthing. Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and spiritually exciting place. It's been in decline ever since. SIgh. MIU was founded in 1971 and moved to Fairfieldin 1974. It gained accreditation candadacy in 1975, and was fully accredited the year Bevan moved to Fairfield as its President in 1980. In other words, Bevan has been its President since it offered accredited degree programs (since its been a real university). Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the place financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing african students as a way for them to visas as computer programmers is keeping it afloat now. Of course donations still come in for building projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of bevan. What does that have to do with running the university? No way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too weak, that's all bevan's doing. Why do you consider the academics weak? What specific project has bevan ever led that has been successful? Other than MUM for the past 25+ years, you mean? In reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press releases or internal conferences. My experience in the tmo was that things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them. That might be the case, but given how inaccurate your implicit history of MUM has been, I'd take your concusions with a few tons of rocksalt.

This was in the late 70s. Late 70s? That's surprising. I hadn't heard of any gay purges pre-bevan rule. I was too clueless to pick up any gay presence at MIU, so it came as a shock one morning when some anonymous contingent of gay students taped posters to the doors of all the dormitories. (My memory is extremely hazy about all this, so I welcome corrections.) Anyway, the 8-1/2 x 11 handwritten, photocopied papers said, basically, We're tired of being in the closet and demand recognition. I can tell you, the whole thing made me extremely uncomfortable at the time, and I wasn't alone. (I had the usual hetero ick factor response that's come up in this forum.) But to make matters worse, the posters appeared on the day the North Central Accreditation Review Board was coming to campus. (Maybe this was the spring of 1980, because the school got accredited just before I graduated.) It was as if the gays were crying out to the wider world, We're in prison here. Help! I could not understand it in the least. I seem to recall, after the whole affair blew over, Bevan said something to the effect that that these people were trying to undermine our accreditation efforts and sabotage the image of the school before the wider world. Actually, I tend to agree with that asessment regardless of any anti- gay bias at MUM. You don't make friends with people by attemptingto embaress them, and often your attempt backfires if you're trying to out them as bigots or whatever since while people might find the attitudes revealed repugnant, unless the attitude is WY outside the mainstream (which wasn't the case in 1980 in most places inthe USA), there will be a backlash of sympathy for the victim of the attack. You have to understand, we were *all about* proselytizing, hence the coats and ties. Anything that distracted from that clean-cut, mainstream image was strictly off the program. So this gay rights plea on the day the school was to be inspected by the outside academic world seemed like an averted catastrophe. (The posters were taken down right away, of course.) I don't know what the status of gays is in the TMO today. At MUM? Not terribly fun, I'm guessing. For the recerts? Bevan is outside the loop since he doesn't wear a crown.

Those are no-no words to use in polite company including medical contexts, even though they are unambiguous and shorter to boot. Dick and cunt are vulgar slang (check the dictionary; the word cunt is identified as usually obscene and the word dick as usually vulgar). Uterus is perfectly respectable clinical term, like intestines or urinary tract or prostate or ovaries or vagina or penis. Clinicians and reporters have no problem using those terms, and most laypeople know what they mean and have no objection to them either. Yet they get all squeamish suddenly when it comes to uterus.

Are these locals or people who came from all over? Interesting response to the question on the Rishikesh sex scandals. At least there is freedom of speech during live streaming, it was cool the question could be asked and answered live. I missed it. What did he say? This guy wanted Donovan to respond in song--in other words, sing his response--but rather than describe consciousness with all the buzzwords he's heard repeated all weekend long, he wanted to hear about the whole range of consciousness, from wrestling with consciousness and the demonic aspects to infinite, pure, unbounded, higher consciousness adjectives they all talked about so much: the light and the dark. Donovan just had this stunned look on his face and he said he didn't understand the question, so the guy repeated it in abbreviated form (the question was rather long and somewhat convoluted--and you weren't sure if he wanted him to sing his response or talk about how he'd write a song about this). Donovan again said he didn't understand the question, so the guy repeated it a third time. He still didn't get it, so someone stepped up on the stage and whispered something into Donovan's ear. Then Donovan answered the question of how he expressed higher consciousness into song--not the question the guy had asked. I swear to god, if he wasn't dead, you could've swore the guy in the sunglasses was Hunter S. Thompson. A guy from Germany (Berlin) asked about the early Rishikesh days with the Beatles (and the Hurdy Gurdy story he had told the night before where JL called M. a good guru and patted him on the head) and asked what was it that had caused him to remain with meditation, but the Beatles split off from Maharishi. Donovan said that what people were saying was that Maharishi was getting girls in his room and then asking them to meditate in front of him topless, and other rumors. He then mentioned (one of the four reliances) the important thing is the teaching, not the teacher. He added that both George and he went on meditating but that John had gone on to write (critical) songs about Maharishi. What he thought it really was about was a jealousy between Mal (Evans) and John. He claimed Mal had some wine smuggled in and got various women drunk--and got them to start telling stories--and that's how the stories got started. He also said that M. had wanted Donovan to stay on and they could set up a university in Edinborough together. Donovan refused and said he instead wanted to set up an invisible university through his music. Maharishi told, 'then go (and do that).' Yahoo!

--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sparaig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, markmeredith2002 [...] Bevan never ran the university on a day to day practical level. Exactly the opposite of Rick's claim that he micromanages. He's hardly been there the past 20 yrs, except periodically to fire people not deemed loyal and generally keep up the fear and cult atmosphere. Rick says he's in constant contact, but he agrees with you about the fearthing. Before his leadership the university was an intellectually and spiritually exciting place. It's been in decline ever since. SIgh. MIU was founded in 1971 and moved to Fairfieldin 1974. It gained accreditation candadacy in 1975, and was fully accredited the year Bevan moved to Fairfield as its President in 1980. In other words, Bevan has been its President since it offered accredited degree programs (since its been a real university). Getting purusha to take out student loans in the 80s saved the place financially then, and whoever came up with the idea of importing african students as a way for them to visas as computer programmers is keeping it afloat now. Of course donations still come in for building projects because that gets points with MMY, not because of bevan. What does that have to do with running the university? No way it could survive by attracting and keeping normal western students, the atmosphere is just too culty and the academics too weak, that's all bevan's doing. Why do you consider the academics weak? What specific project has bevan ever led that has been successful? Other than MUM for the past 25+ years, you mean? In reality I mean, not in fancy talks and brochures, or in tmo press releases or internal conferences. My experience in the tmo was that things got accomplished by the talented and devoted foot soldiers despite the efforts of people like bevan, not due to them. That might be the case, but given how inaccurate your implicit history of MUM has been, I'd take your concusions with a few tons of rocksalt. I have always found Bevan's attitude to be quite condescending; and when he came to the University, he seemed to have the effect of chasing anyone away, who had any independent point of view. Maharishi seems to like his loyalty, and the prissy accent. All I know is that the university was quite lively during the seventies, with many professors who were dedicated and interesting. But, slowly but surely, the university became more of a gestapo oriented organization; having been purged of any free thinkers. I can't really think of anyone who is more 'full of himself'... We used to call him Bevan from Heaven, in jest; but I guess looking back, when happened to the university since he arrived, is not such a joke after all.

If the woman doesn't want the child but is willing to carry it to term and then give it up for adoption, I don't think there's anybody who would claim that abortion was preferable. Mainly, what pro-choice people say (whether they're secularists or religious) is that it *should* be up to the woman and her physician, and that nobody else really has any business telling her what they think she *should* do.

What Guru Rinpoche's birth symbolizes for me is the fact that, from the first moment, he recognized the unborn and undying nature of his mind, primordially pure awareness. He identified with that, rather than with his body, wherever it may have come from, be it a womb, a lotus, a stork, or a cabbage patch. Whatever physical, linguistic, or conceptual worlds he adopted, he wore as ephemeral ornaments on the infinite expanse of timeless awareness. ...Guru Rinpoche was not an individual who followed a spiritual path until illumination. He was an enlightened being who appeared in different guises entirely as a manifestation to help others, including the guise of an individual who followed the spiritual path. --from Guru Rinpoche: His Life and Times by Ngawang Zangpo, published by Snow Lion Publications SNOW LION PUBLICATIONS is dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and culture by publishing books about this great tradition.

[FairfieldLife] A little bit about Bevan
From a friend: Dear Rick From reading FFL tonight, it seems not much is known about Bevan. Here is the little I know. He first went to Rishikesh from Australia as a teenager and spent I think a year working on staff there. M told him to get his degrees, phd etc. So Bevan left India, went to England, went to Oxford University and ended up with a Master's in Philosophy. I remember his coming during the summer to Seelisberg to spend some time with Maharishi. He wanted so much to just stay there, but had to return and resume his studies. After the Master's degree was awarded Maharishi had Bevan trained as a TM-Sidhi Administrator and sent him to MIU, where he had very little power. He had to report to Rindi Schwartz on extremely important, time-sensitive projects. Many a time Rindi would just cut him off and say, call tomorrow, I'm retiring now, even when the fate of the University hung in the balance. Bevan swore he would never work through women again. After a time Maharishi appointed Bevan as President of the University and the checking of projects was done directly. Bevan has been responsible largely for fund-raising. Many a time the University came within a few weeks of closing down due to low finances; M kept taking more and more of the University's money for international projects. Bevan would literally have to get on the phone and beg for one of the millionaire donors to come through with 6 million (that was one story) or other such huge numbers in just a week. So he has actually kept the university going for many years but did not broadcast his role. Bevan has been publicly chastized by M again and again. He handled it well, just by not saying anything at all. At one point with the 7000 course, Bevan was pointing out to Maharishi that it wasn't possible in the time allotted to accomplish everything M demanded. At that point M blew up at Bevan and started to discuss holding the course elsewhere. For about an hour Bevan kept silent with his head down, not looking at anyone, and then Maharishi calmed down and allowed the course to continue at MUM. So, Bevan learned to hold his peace in order to keep the University front and center in M's attention and in a positive light. Bevan's foremost focus was keeping Maharishi appraised of the good side of the University. In that Bevan failed to honestly convey the true story; but then those that convey the not so rosey truth get fried and fired. Is that Bevan's fault? don't think so. Many a faculty meeting Bevan would just pour out love and compassion for the faculty. But there was very little that he could do in changing policy. M had his own vision and that had to be followed. Bevan faithfully followed M's vision. After all, it is M's university, not Bevan's. I think we need to be very careful to not compare M's Movement to a regular business. Sure, that may be a downfall; but we must remember that Maharishi, as a spiritual Master, has a responsibility towards the spiritual enlightenement of his disciples. That may mean that M instantly dissolves any successful venture a disciple sets up if that disciple has any ego involved. Bevan has taken many falls; but he picks himself up again and keeps plugging on. He's suffered from depression and low self-esteem, but just kept working. From my side he is to be admired for that. It's been tough on Bevan and he doesn't have many friends; very few that he can confide in. It's lonely at the top of the TM heap and M plans it that way. Bevan makes lots of mistakes, but don't we all? M now has Bevan by his side for a reason. I hope M's plan works for Bevan's sake. Do I like Bevan? No. But I do admire what he has been able to accomplish. And that's my version of this story.
