The Transcendental Meditation Organization has had a decades-long history of crimes. Large amounts of money go unaccounted. In lieu of how Girish TOOK OVER, it is LOGICAL to suspect Girish is a criminal instead of accepting him as an honest person. He shows zero motivation to explain how and why he deserves his present position. The TMO's books are vague, incomplete, and probably simply a pack of lies, and until a public accounting is made, no trust has been earned; the red flags waving must be inspected. 3. Rapist. The news has give us the accounting of 20 persons who say Girish raped a woman. END OF STORY. Girish should resign. Why? Because: Rama and Sita. Rama sent Sita to HELL because the people were falsely whispering about her having fucked Ravana, before she was rescued. FALSELY, but Rama sent her to hell because A KING'S FAME IS HIS ONLY TREASURE. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and a famous student of his, Harold Bloomfield, have also been accused and/or convicted of sexual crimes. Yet the TMO ignores these vile blackeyes. Girish stole the movement, stole the money and said Fuck your fame.I'm your monster guru now.suck it up you toads or lose your field badges and your shit jobs at MUM.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Is Girish Chandra Verma a spiritual, financial and sexual criminal?
if your assertions are true, how do you account for the fact that other members of the Indian TMO have accused Girish of fraud, manipulation, creating fake documents and selling off Movement lands in direct contravention of Marshy's wishes after his death? They are suing him over these illegal land grabs and land sales.

I'd have to second Steve here. There are so many things on this planet that are pure bunk and I'm pretty sure whatever one pseudo scientist says (if Hagelin is a pseudo scientist - I don't know enough about him or care enough to find out. But perhaps I have made this point very clear time after time: I don't follow what the Movement is doing and haven't for over 25 years and the only reason I know anything about it now is because people - most who claim to despise the Movement and most of those at the helm of it - talk about it ALL THE TIME HERE). Now, I like to make a beef about what I see as laughable or preposterous as well as the next guy but to continually try and change how people think or to get my proverbial knickers in a twist about it will change nothing if all one is doing is sitting at home and whining about it. Go to the press, stand out with a placard somewhere, create some intelligent expose that proves what these people, yagyas and all, are bullshit. DO SOMETHING! But mostly you're preaching to the choir here. Go out where you can make a difference and PROVE something. Until someone does this it is all just hearsay or opinion that neither party can back up. It's everyone's concern if these Nebulous theories are a load of crap and can be demonstrated to be so and are costing people who don't know any better an awful lot of money. Great, demonstrate it. Hiding behind a PHD and claiming to be a world renowned scientist for instance, claiming that science has discovered this or that when your beliefs are so outside of the mainstream they wouldn't be accepted as likely in a Harry Potter movie. Well, some people accept it just like some accept Jesus as their savior, some believe gluten is bad for them and others are convinced Black Sabbath was the greatest rock band on the planet.

If watching an ad on TV or having friends encourage you to read a book or your TM teacher suggesting you wear rudraksha beads around your neck is coercion then you need to get a backbone. Coercion is being threatened by someone, with the power to actually enforce it, with losing your job or your right hand or your life if you don't pay $500 for a yagya.

It's for him to work out, isn't it? It seems to me we're seeing a different side to Doug. Actually seeing quite a bit less, which I think is also revealing. What gets your goat? What makes you want to raze the world to the ground and start it again? Do you ever care about anything enough to try and do something about it? My sphere of influence is rather small, but I do interact with a number of people each day. And aside from routine matters of business, or grocery shopping, I try to say something, or do something, which I think may spark a new way of thinking about things. I've also discovered that being a good listener helps people process areas of difficulty. Admittedly, these are small accomplishments, if you want to call them that, but that is where I am in this regard. It's everyone's concern if these Nebulous theories are a load of crap and can be demonstrated to be so and are costing people who don't know any better an awful lot of money. You know, the audience is mostly grown adults, right? Do I need to tell grown adults what they should, or should not believe? I don't believe I should. Hiding behind a PHD and claiming to be a world renowned physicist for instance, and claiming that science has discovered this or that when your beliefs are so outside of the mainstream they wouldn't be accepted as likely in a Harry Potter movie. Well, again, he can claim anything he wants. What is his sphere of influence? Rather small, I'd say. So, what is the problem? Who is being coerced to buy into any of it? I would say the movement goes out of it's way to persuade the faithful that it - and it alone - is in possession of the real facts about life and that the rest of the world has yet to catch up. Okay, the movement claims that pure consciousness, and the yet to be discovered unified field are one, and therefore everyone has access to this field of all possibilities And you find this to be a dangerous concept that is worthy of being censored? And you, who are on record about being concerned with things that are wrong in the world, choose this as a priority. That strikes me as a little odd. But so be it. From day one as a TMer they start spinning the yarn of perfect knowledge from the unified field and all the technologies they have to help you gain the most from life that don't actually work but are all part of the mythos. I would say that's coercion, they do guilt brilliantly too. You know, of course, the movement is aging, rapidly. There is not a large number of core participants. Grown adults, in my book, are capable of buying into whatever philosophy or way of life they choose. No one needs me to stand in judgement of what they may choose to believe. And for the great majority of even those core believers, they also, take what they need, or want, and leave the rest. I count many as friends, and they recognize fact from fiction. It's a religion and expanding the coffers at the expense of the flock is what I expect. But the pope doesn't charge $5000 for a prayer. Check out the adverts for the yagya programme starting with Marshy's bullshit lectures. It's con. I care about people I know being conned. It sounds to me that you have a desire impose your own values on those who you feel are being deluded, which is okay, I guess, except that for someone appears to be concerned with social activism, it's an odd area to focus on. But, maybe it's low hanging fruit, and serves other needs you might have. Heh, I just read your reply now Steve. It appears we agree on a lot of the points here. It's great to get all proactive on things but to say something, anything is balderdash is easy and requires nothing but having an alternate viewpoint.

It's for him to work out, isn't it? It's a chat room. I'm chatting. Doug wrecked this place so we talk about him. It's everyone's concern if these Nebulous theories are a load of crap and can be demonstrated to be so and are costing people who don't know any better an awful lot of money. You know, the audience is mostly grown adults, right? Do I need to tell grown adults what they should, or should not believe? I don't believe I should. Someones got to. Hiding behind a PHD and claiming to be a world renowned physicist for instance, and claiming that science has discovered this or that when your beliefs are so outside of the mainstream they wouldn't be accepted as likely in a Harry Potter movie. Well, again, he can claim anything he wants. What is his sphere of influence? Rather small, I'd say. So, what is the problem? Who is being coerced to buy into any of it? I would say the movement goes out of it's way to persuade the faithful that it - and it alone - is in possession of the real facts about life and that the rest of the world has yet to catch up. Okay, the movement claims that pure consciousness, and the yet to be discovered unified field are one, and therefore everyone has access to this field of all possibilities And you find this to be a dangerous concept that is worthy of being censored? And you, who are on record about being concerned with things that are wrong in the world, choose this as a priority. That strikes me as a little odd. But so be it. Jesus I'm tired of explaining the same things to the sametrue believers who decide that living in denial is a good idea. It's easier than thinking is all it is. From day one as a TMer they start spinning the yarn of perfect knowledge from the unified field and all the technologies they have to help you gain the most from life that don't actually work but are all part of the mythos. I would say that's coercion, they do guilt brilliantly too. You know, of course, the movement is aging, rapidly. There is not a large number of core participants. Grown adults, in my book, are capable of buying into whatever philosophy or way of life they choose. No one needs me to stand in judgement of what they may choose to believe. And for the great majority of even those core believers, they also, take what they need, or want, and leave the rest. I count many as friends, and they recognize fact from fiction. It's a religion and expanding the coffers at the expense of the flock is what I expect. But the pope doesn't charge $5000 for a prayer.

It sounds to me that you have a desire impose your own values on those who you feel are being deluded, which is okay, I guess, except that for someone appears to be concerned with social activism, it's an odd area to focus on. But, maybe it's low hanging fruit, and serves other needs you might have. God almighty, you really do scrape the barrel to try and bolster yourself when someone pints out you are talking crap.

Well, I'm guessing that there are, what, maybe 200 people worldwide who accept as gospel that transcendental consciousness and the unified field* are the same. There are maybe 2000 people worldwide who have considered it as a remote possibility, Same goes for Yagya technology.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Is Girish Chandra Verma a spiritual, financial and sexual criminal?
How does reconciling things that shouldn't be happening become something working? Sounds like denial to me. So, it's denial. It's for him to work out, isn't it? It seems to me we're seeing a different side to Doug. Actually seeing quite a bit less, which I think is also revealing. What gets your goat? What makes you want to raze the world to the ground and start it again? Do you ever care about anything enough to try and do something about it? My sphere of influence is rather small, but I do interact with a number of people each day. And aside from routine matters of business, or grocery shopping, I try to say something, or do something, which I think may spark a new way of thinking about things. I've also discovered that being a good listener helps people process areas of difficulty. Admittedly, these are small accomplishments, if you want to call them that, but that is where I am in this regard. It's everyone's concern if these Nebulous theories are a load of crap and can be demonstrated to be so and are costing people who don't know any better an awful lot of money. You know, the audience is mostly grown adults, right? Do I need to tell grown adults what they should, or should not believe? I don't believe I should. Hiding behind a PHD and claiming to be a world renowned physicist for instance, and claiming that science has discovered this or that when your beliefs are so outside of the mainstream they wouldn't be accepted as likely in a Harry Potter movie. Well, again, he can claim anything he wants. What is his sphere of influence? Rather small, I'd say. So, what is the problem? Who is being coerced to buy into any of it? I would say the movement goes out of it's way to persuade the faithful that it - and it alone - is in possession of the real facts about life and that the rest of the world has yet to catch up. Okay, the movement claims that pure consciousness, and the yet to be discovered unified field are one, and therefore everyone has access to this field of all possibilities And you find this to be a dangerous concept that is worthy of being censored? And you, who are on record about being concerned with things that are wrong in the world, choose this as a priority. That strikes me as a little odd. But so be it. From day one as a TMer they start spinning the yarn of perfect knowledge from the unified field and all the technologies they have to help you gain the most from life that don't actually work but are all part of the mythos. I would say that's coercion, they do guilt brilliantly too. You know, of course, the movement is aging, rapidly. There is not a large number of core participants. Grown adults, in my book, are capable of buying into whatever philosophy or way of life they choose. No one needs me to stand in judgement of what they may choose to believe. And for the great majority of even those core believers, they also, take what they need, or want, and leave the rest. I count many as friends, and they recognize fact from fiction. It's a religion and expanding the coffers at the expense of the flock is what I expect. But the pope doesn't charge $5000 for a prayer. Check out the adverts for the yagya programme starting with Marshy's bullshit lectures. It's con. I care about people I know being conned. It sounds to me that you have a desire impose your own values on those who you feel are being deluded, which is okay, I guess, except that for someone appears to be concerned with social activism, it's an odd area to focus on. But, maybe it's low hanging fruit, and serves other needs you might have. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, steve.sundur@... wrote : Sorta funny, Sal, don't you agree?

Michael, he is promoting highly speculative theories that cannot be proved, at least at the present time, or probably, the foreseeable future. If you care to frame it in a different context to suit your needs, please do so. But, it is no different than any other speculative theories promoted by respected and non respected scientists. Except he's claiming that they are true, are part of mainstream science and that they explain how prayers work. None of it is remotely true. He can claim that the theories are true, and are based on unknown or undiscovered laws, but of course it will gain no traction without any proof. So, again, you are focussing your efforts on the several hundred people who accept these ideas at face value? And again, how many wild theories have been proposed, that have turned out to be true, and able to be proven. Quite a few, I would imagine. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : He is spouting a lot of nebulous theories to a very limited audience.

The Transcendental Meditation Organization has had a decades-long history of crimes. Large amounts of money go unaccounted. In lieu of how Girish TOOK OVER, it is LOGICAL to suspect Girish is a criminal instead of accepting him as an honest person. He shows zero motivation to explain how and why he deserves his present position. The TMO's books are vague, incomplete, and probably simply a pack of lies, and until a public accounting is made, no trust has been earned; the red flags waving must be inspected. 3. Rapist. The news has give us the accounting of 20 persons who say Girish raped a woman. END OF STORY. Girish should resign. Why? Because: Rama and Sita. Rama sent Sita to HELL because the people were falsely whispering about her having fucked Ravana, before she was rescued. FALSELY, but Rama sent her to hell because A KING'S FAME IS HIS ONLY TREASURE. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and a famous student of his, Harold Bloomfield, have also been accused and/or convicted of sexual crimes. Yet the TMO ignores these vile blackeyes.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Future of Physics
One physicist on YouTube said that physics may be nearing its end as a science if the LHC cannot find anymore discoveries aside from the Higgs Boson. But, based on this article, there are many other areas that physics can cover, much of which are not understandable by most people these days. However, what's interesting about Hagelin's theory is that it has personal appeal, particularly meditators in the TM movement. If any of the siddhas could demonstrate he or she can float in the air, then Hagelin's idea should catch the interest of the science community, and the world at large. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, no_re...@yahoogroups.com wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : According to the author, it is possible to turn vast deserts into huge computers.

Kim is a good candidate for TM, although she appears to have been born as an Orthodox Christian. I'll have to check out her jyotish chart to find out why she's so popular or infamous, depending on your point of view. Lately, many TMers are in the news, particularly Kate Perry who wants to buy a convent in LA. Perhaps, that would be a good place for siddhas to perform the flying sutras. But she appears to be getting the support of Nature based on her current popularity and success. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : Kim Kardashian speaks at the SF Commonwealth Club: http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_28412733/kim-kardashian-delights-san-francisco-audiences http://www.insidebayarea.com/news/ci_28412733/kim-kardashian-delights-san-francisco-audiences Perhaps David Lynch gets her to start TM?

This woman certainly fell head over heels in love with FF and meditation. She seemed pretty impulsive to me and fairly desperate and unhappy before finding FF. While I am sure some people had a good experience the first time they did TM she seems pretty over the top. It is this kind of person that makes me think she could be a tad unstable.

I would say the movement goes out of it's way to persuade the faithful that it - and it alone - is in possession of the real facts about life and that the rest of the world has yet to catch up. From day one as a TMer they start spinning the yarn of perfect knowledge from the unified field and all the technologies they have to help you gain the most from life that don't actually work but are all part of the mythos. I would say that's coercion, they do guilt brilliantly too. It's a religion and expanding the coffers at the expense of the flock is what I expect. But the pope doesn't charge $5000 for a prayer.

They've given up on us humans. Two days ago NASA was forced to end a live stream from the International Space Station as THREE UFOs blasted out of Earth's atmosphere.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Fairfield, Iowa: A Cast of 10,000, As Themselves
If you were the spiritually aware and practicing person one would THINK a former MIU faculty member would be, you would not follow in my footsteps by carping about my post or criticizing me. But typical TM created response there. I liked Fairfield very much, setting aside the TM'ers - ah, I couldn't resist that one! I take exception to her continuing the bullshit over the top blabber about how fabulous TM is - if point out that even you don't do it anymore or maybe that was just TMSP you dropped. Anyhow, the Movement and its enablers are still conning people into buying a pig in a poke and it stinks. No free passes from me on that issue, I feel the same as Sal, except I am more concerned with the innocent people who are listening to this gal and her David Lynch buddies - by the time they figure out they've been had, too much damage may have occurred and they'll have to join FFL to help them figure it all out. I like Fairfield Iowa very much. Fuck TM, fuck MUM and fuck the hucksters that promote TM.

A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.Three Laws of Robotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics#cite_note-IROBOT-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics#cite_note-IROBOT-1 Three Laws of Robotics - Wikipedia, the free encycl... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics#cite_note-IROBOT-1 The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or Three Laws, also known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fic...

Yeah, not half, but as long as I can gaze on Waterloo sunset I am in paradise I'll be there at the weekend actually, after a hard weeks work made harder by the heat that we aren't used to and always comes as a shock no matter how much we crave it during the winter. It's good to spend a day strolling on the south bank of the Thames, taking photo's, visiting galleries and stopping at cafes or eating ice cream in the shade of a tree. Making hay while the sun shines..

Now here's the truth: if you like small towns in the Midwest, and have a spiritual turn of mind, it's hard to beat Fairfield as a place to live. Many, many people have contributed much effort over decades to make it the place it is today.

---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, s3raphita@... wrote : Re Who says dying young is necessarily the result of bad karma? That would be assuming death was a punishment or a bad thing: Good point. Indeed the assumptions we make about good vs bad are loaded with our prejudices. I like the Tibetan Buddhist (probably Hindu also) view that, yes, you can accumulate virtue and end up living as a god or goddess in some postmortem paradise but once your karma has been used up you're right back where you started*. The goal is to tire of the game and jump off the Wheel of Karma - good or bad - and embrace extinction-cum-Nirvana. *right back where you started ie, back to square one. That expression originated with the game Snakes and Ladders (Chutes and Ladders in US?). That Indian game (Leela) was intended to teach the young the virtues to follow and the vices to avoid. The final square would be labelled Moksha. There was an old (Indian) board I saw once that had a paradise square near the top of the layout. Once there the player was taken out of the game! See the subtlety of it? If someone finds themselves in a paradisiacal place they mistake it for final liberation and settle down there not realising there are yet further levels to come. To find such religious psychological insight into the perils of the spiritual life in a board game! And what did we come up with? Monopoly. Ha, ha. Monopoly one of my personal childhood favorites. Accumulating all that wealth just so you can drive your fellow game player into bankruptcy.
