Hi folks, I have just joined and looking to learn more about the whole
Maharishi thing from the folks who actually live in Fairfield.
I just broke up with a woman who has been a hard core meditator for 25
yrs. I think she's been totally brain washed by this movement and the
Maharishi.
I
Funny you should say that,,,(that it might be her supressed thoughts
too. Because there is this part of me that thinks the very same.
I thought if I through as much unconditional love her way as humanly
possible I could reach her and I thought I was. She would say things
like ,,,This is the
That's ok,,,I am certainly accustomed to defensiveness both passive
and agressive when speaking about TM with TM'rs
How can you tell the difference between someone
who is totally brainwashed and programmed and
somebody who is so excited by something they've
just learned they can't stop
Just over two years Peter.
A great woman, I adored her and still do. When she was peaceful she
was like an angel. But then out of nowhere. Actually it was usually a
day or two after we had done something really nice together,,,that
this demon side appearred and all hell would break loose. It
Sal,,,I'm quite certain of it.
I think the meditation is her own personal crutch or a happy pill.
Just pop and hop and she feels better temporarily. But it doesn't
address the underlying root causes/demons etc.
But because Maharishi says just meditate more and all your
problems will go
I like your reasoning Sal!!!

Ah she surely was. In my eyes the most beautiful woman in the world. I

To clarify, no I am not a TM'r, though God knows I was pressured to
become one, to the point where she broke it off once simply because
I wasn't willingly to join.
No I prefer a park setting, sitting at the base of a tree leaning
against it with my spine.(Crosslegged). Sometimes I'll repeat
I can't seem to come up with a rational reason to spend a great
portion of my life in meditation. What gets accomplished? What gets
created?
I'm not trying to be argumentative here or confrontational, I am
just trying to understand . My X GF spends two hours a day in
meditation and has for 25
Thank you Rick I appreciate the insights.

I cut and pasted this claim from a MUM web page claiming that Where
as little as 1% of population is practising TM the trend of rising
crime rates is REVERSED.
This is the actual cut and paste.
We can split hairs all we won't on actual wording but given this
claim by the University the
I've heard this term thrown around alot. Coherence is something I think
is naturally attainable without TM and certainly not something that was
discovered or created by Maharishi. Another word for it is simple team
spirit. Look what happens at many major league sporting events.
