[FairfieldLife] Attendance in Recert Course
How many people are attending the current course to become a recertified governor?
[FairfieldLife] Re: Attendance in Recert Course
Hello Willtex, There are many Governors in this group (And some are even in good standing!)--although I expect that few or none are recertified. Your information is incorrect. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Richard J. Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: bmorry wrote: How many people are attending the current course to become a recertified governor? Apparently there are no respondents on this forum who are planning on attending the current course to become recertified Governors. In fact, there seems to be no Governors on this forum - correct me if I'm wrong. The last Governor I read on the Internet was Billy Murphy - at least of those Governors still in good standing with the Maharishi. However, I'm considering getting recertified to practice the TM program. From what I've heard, this new program will be announced soon by Maharishi. And, I'm also considering attending at least one CCP this year.
[FairfieldLife] TMO course acceptance made easy
Anyone can be accepted onto any TMO course if you tell them what they want to hear. As MMY always said, Speak the sweet truth. As a Governor, I have been accepted to Mother Divine, CCP, WPAs, and every course I wanted to attend using this technique. The last application I completed did not even ask me if I was a teacher of other techniques (yes, I am), had seen a psychiatrist (yes), had seen saints (as many as possible when they travel near my location), consulted non- TMO Ayurvedic practitioners (of course--they are so much cheaper). If you want to be in the dome, get with this program--it has worked for me and many others for years. The TMO does not care about you personally; they are all about image!

[FairfieldLife] Upcoming Recert TM Teacher Course
What is happening with this course? Last time, they did not get enough people to sign up and cancelled the course How many will be attending this time? Did anyone even apply? Will the newest recerts be eligible for a cut of the TM money when they teach?

I've seen lists of 20 or so cult charcteristics, but this one is both precise and comprehensive. Since so many quality people have bailed on letting them work their mojo, it seems like they are just acting out of habit. The movement seems to lack the ability to create a new organization that respects mature individuals with enough spiritual and life experience to decide things for themselves. It worked better when everyone was in their 20's and less self-assured. From the outside it is fascinating to see them try to cast the same old spells their a broken wands. Yes, numerous people here have noted the contradiction inherent in treating aging, long- term devotees as children and neophytes. Of course, there actually are a small number who still prefer it that way. I wonder if Lifton has studied the oppositional reflex that must exist even in devoted members, who are still close to the organization. It seems as if the innocence is so long gone that the movement's words would have a completely different effect by this time. When I talk with people who still do the program about the movement, there is so much eye-rolling that it makes me wonder who is more turned off to the teaching. My guess is that although FFL is a small group who are willing to speak up, the eclectic lifestyle and practices represented here is more reflective of the majority of people still involved with TM than the old-school hardline. I meet people who keep their feelings and practices to themselves for fear of being cut out of courses. I would love to know the numbers on both these sides. The hard core are definitely a minority here, although there are severe methodological and sociological barriers to establishing the numbers. Even the more hip and liberated TMers often have localized hot buttons around certain topics, like M's infallibility or Sthapathya Ved, etc. As a result, FF can be a conversational mine field.

If people just respected the directive to keep meditation instruction private, then everyone could be accepted into the dome. It really is a no brainer. I never get asked any questions regarding my dome acceptance except governor training course dates!

From: scozzari [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Recipient List Suppressed:; Subject: Lawsuit - TMO vs Scozzari Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2006 11:16:03 -0500 Mike Scozzari 2241 SW 15 St., Deerfield Beach 33442 561-392-5418 Home As many have heard, I have been asked to cease and desist teaching TM by the TMO attorneys in Iowa. Their demands include that I destroy all teaching materials and that I no longer use their registered service marks for TM and Transcendental Meditation. With the new project for teachers to re-certify and teach, teachers who, like me, were made teachers for life by Maharishi, were all told we must no longer consider ourselves teachers. The re-certification course as you may have heard was $2K and $4 depending on how many people you have taught in the past 2 years for $2500 each student. Once completed, re-certified teachers were required to teach full time, meditate 7 hours per day, open up 5 spas, raise 1.5 million for a peace palace, go to Holland for a month and become a raja after which you would be required to wear robes and a crown and have others bow to you. Teachers were required to teach according to gender, males teach males, women teach women and all in a building with an east entrance (TMO websites detail the entire thing). Teachers were promised salaries of $2000 per month if nobody takes TM and $4000 a month if you teach 2. Three months after it's start all salaries were discontinued and teachers who quit their jobs had to find work once again. ++see Chandler letter below It's nonsense. Teachers like myself have not done anything wrong. Most on my list know I have continued to provide basic and advanced instruction and have maintained the traditional teaching. Every teacher knows what it's like to try and make a living teaching. I will never charge anyone $2500 - never! I would need cold water running through my veins! It's wrong and people don't deserve it. It makes perfect sense to me having taught over 4000 people, that teachers should be able to keep all the money for instruction encouraging students to then take TMO sponsored follow-ups like the TM- Sidhis and advanced techniques. This way everyone wins. Teachers need to make a living. When did the policymakers forget that? The fees today are 6 times what they were in 1993. I have invested a small fortune to keep teaching in the area since 1989. My Bell South bill is $150 per month. Recently my Bell South rep called to say he received a call from Joan Rothenberg who accused me of violating the TM trademark, that I was not legally allowed to do so and that she and her husband Stuart were the new teachers in Boca Raton. This quote appeared in my January 06 newsletter: Still the Same Maharishi has done something that his predecessors did not do. He provided a technique and a knowledge program while maintaining the ancient traditions. With all the research available, TM is still the best technique for relieving stress and developing inner potential. The packaging and marketing changes over time but the essential message remains the same: meditate and enjoy. When Coca Cola introduced New Coke, the public was split on what they preferred, new or old Coke. Old Coke was introduced as Classic Coke and remains the same today. Transcendental Meditation can be offered to the general population or the wealthy, no harm. But the essential teaching is here to stay. Keeping this teaching alive worldwide is the goal of all the teachers. Competition is good and if it leads to more people learning, no harm. As stated previously, our office teaches TM at reasonable rates. It's available for everyone. Please keep us in mind and know that we are here to stay. We hope you can join us for programs that enrich and refresh, inspire and expand. Take advantage of your membership and keep the teaching alive by meditating twice a day and radiating the benefits in your life. Mike Scozzari If Stuart Rothenberg and his wife want to teach TM, there is no reason to push the existing teachers aside. If the truth be told, I would ask Stuart why he moved from North Carolina to Lancaster, MA and fired the staff at the ayurvedic health center as well as ask Jay Glasser, MD to leave after years of medical service there. It's unfortunate. The directors called me to tell their story. The claims against me re trademark infringement are just the opinions of the TMO and their attorney. I can email you the attachments. No court order has been issued yet. IF AND WHEN I GET THE COURT ORDER, I will need to show the court the true details of my claim which will only cause the TMO to look foolish as each attorney has agreed with me. I have the support of certain media as well including a publicist with the San Francisco Examiner who would like to really go wide on this entire issue. She agreed nothing printed unless I say so. The TMO hates negative publicity. I think

Perhaps they came to learn about the meaning of his dark films, but Lynch primarily used his time to promote the controversial practice of Transcendental Meditation. A practitioner of TM for 32 years, Lynch wants to raise billions of dollars to teach it to any child in America who wants to learn it. Like many TM proponents, Lynch, accompanied by two âexperts,â described TM as a way to usher in world peace and achieve greater personal effectiveness. Lynch and his comrades couched the practice in scientific terms. But they didnât give the audience the whole story. Now famous as the Beatlesâ one-time guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi founded TM in India in 1958 as the outgrowth of a Hindu spiritual movement. Since then, more than 6 million people have learned TM, according to the organizationâs Web site. Learning the technique costs $2,500. At first, TM practitioners meditate for about 20 minutes twice daily with their eyes closed, repeating a syllabic phrase or âmantraâ to reach âpure awarenessâ and rid themselves of conscious thought. We donât dispute the fact that meditation in general can be calming and beneficial. Yet we raise questions consumers should seriously consider before purchasing this commodity as a means to attain peace. First, we question the high cost. During his speech, Lynch said people who really want peace will find the money to pay for TM classes. Some advocates say the cost ensures the TM movement will persevere and grow, and that the price wouldnât seem outrageous if we lived in a culture that values meditation. Yet people can learn many types of meditation for free from books and classes. Proponents claim the TM mantras are more effective than repeating secular sounds, but some books on meditation say otherwise. We also question the scientific merits of TM. Advocates claim a multitude of scientific studies validate the physiological benefits of TM. Many of these studies, however, are conducted at the organizationâs own Maharishi University of Management and they are not necessarily published in peer- reviewed journals. Any scholars thinking about trying TM should check out these scientific claims, especially those that suggest TM is different from other forms of meditation. We also cannot find any credible evidence to support the claim that TM creates peace by âradiating an influence of harmony to your surroundings.â In light of the recent heated debate over the scientific merit of Intelligent Design, TM should come under equally rigorous investigation. People with certain religious beliefs should also investigate the religious roots of TM. Although advocates claim it is simply a âmental techniqueâ and not a religion or philosophy, historical facts clearly show TM is rooted in Hinduism; the mantras people repeat during TM are the names of Hindu gods. Moreover, the movement lost a 1979 suit after the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled TM was based on religious concepts and shouldnât be taught in schools. TM has been presented in a secular package to appeal to Westerners. Millions of people like Lynch have found TM to be a satisfying and worthwhile purchase, as demonstrated by their longtime commitments to the practice. However, we hope listeners at Lynchâs recent speech take the initiative to investigate the statements made by this salesman of pseudo-science and evaluate whether they belong in an academic setting like this University.

In response to others: naturally ejaculated sperm, menstruation (where an unfertilize egg is discarded), and spontaneous miscarriage are not violently induced--like legal abortion. Again, refer to the literature on partial birth abortion. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, akasha_108 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, bmorry2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] women have the right to decide to kill their unborn children.

Is your definition any better than any of the above? So you want the state to mandate your personal vision of conception and morality?

I am pro-choice. But I am wondering how much choice would be curtailed if Roe v. Wade were overturned. It would not dissallow abortion, it would simply give the states the right to decide the issue. Which in pondering it, is more consistent with the view that law making should be at the most local level possible and the federal governement should be restricted to the explicit roles and powers it was designated in the constitution. In todays age, I speculate that no states, or at most only several states would disallow all abortions, even for rape and inceest. Up to 10 might dissallow it for all but the above and if the life of the mother were in danger. The rest would keep things as they are. And in some states, abortion might be more liberally allowed. And such non-abortion states would be boycotted by many groups, curtailing their conventions, travel and home manufacturing businesses. Over time, anti-abortion laws in the handful of states having them might liberalize under such pressure. With the advent of day after and later stage abortion pills available by mail order, and the ease of transportation to adjacent states, would overturning Roe v. Wade actually decrease choice by much?

Essentially, it's a matter of entertaining in a particular manner various intentions, as formulated by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, at the most subtle level of awareness. Quoting from Keith Wallace's book The Physiology of Consciousness: Maharishi emphasizes that successful performance of the TM-Sidhi program...can occur only at the junction point between the active mind and silent pure consciousess. He explains that, at the point where the awareness has become so subtle as to merge with the unboundedness of pure consciousness, the term 'thinking process' takes an entirely new form--it becomes one with the self-interacting dynamics of pure consciousness: 'One's own transcendental consciousness, functioning within itself during the TM-Sidhi Program, is the unified field functioning within itself Here, the mind is stationed at the level from where the performance of sanyam [the mental technique with which the intention is entertained] can elicit the total organizing power of the unified field to promote the desired effect [i.e., the specific siddhi].

But when a friend told me participants stay in the lodge for an hour, I remembered Steven and said no thanks. Dr. Bieler (of Bieler's Broth fame) said it only takes five minutes of profuse sweating to flush whatever toxins can be flushed in that manner. Any more sweating merely contributes to dehydration. And what does one breathe after 20 minutes in a sweat lodge? Surely the oxygen is gone. Steven's widow told an interesting story I still recall hearing second hand. Steven apparently had an affinity for owls. I guess you'd say they were his totem animal. Upon leaving the hospital, his wife encountered an owl standing by the walkway. This was in broad daylight on the campus of the busy University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Yet the owl just stood there, impassively, looking at her, like an omen. Like a goodbye. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Attention Ladies: Become Raja-like
A friend forwarded this message to me--only $1,000,.00, same price as for the men. Now that's equal opportunity... Announcement of a Special Training Conference for Ladies taught by Maharishi A course for ladies parallel to Raja Training, with the same highest goal: To engage Total Natural Law for effortless fulfillment of desires Please express your interest by April 28. Dear Governors and Sidhas, Maharishi announced today a special training conference for ladies (single or married), which has the same goal for development of higher consciousness as Raja Training. Its objective is to enliven the ability to spontaneously engage the total intelligence of Natural Law, the Constitution of the Universe, to fulfill one's intentions; to harness in one's awareness the omnipresent, omniscient,omnipotent creative intelligence for perfection in human life. As experienced by the Rajas and their families, there is no more powerful course of knowledge and experience than this. It sets the individual on an unerring path to Unity Consciousness, from which she radiates the nourishing, peaceful power of Natural Law to bless her family, community, and nation. The influence of her consciousness alone raises life increasingly into harmony with Natural Law, the Will of God. The training conference is open to lady Governors. Sidhas who are experiencing Yogic Flying will also be considered. The training is 3 to 4 months in length. The conference is available to those making a donation of $1 million; or if there is some financial strain, $500,000 could be donated now, and the remainder donated at some later time. Whether this conference will be held depends on the number of ladies who apply. Please inform us within the next 6 days of your interest and ability to attend. We do not know when this opportunity will be available again. ACTION STEPPLEASE RESPOND BY APRIL 28 Please express your interest in Maharishi's training conference for ladies by April 28, and include all the following information: Your name, age, address (including country), phone number, email address, whether you are a Governor or Sidha, whether you can make the requested donation, and whether you are able to attend the conference immediately or within a few weeks.

I'm waiting to see how they phase out the salary, assuming it gets off the ground in the first place. I remember drawing a $600.00/mo. salary back in '78 or '79 looking for Capitals. One finally got built in our area, but the salary petered out in a couple months. No hard feelings on my part as I recall. lurk We all know it's going to happen. When you so easily shift from $2K to $4K without a blink its some type of lure only. With 550 people so far that's $2.2 million per month. How long can that be sustained by the TMO? I wish them the best of luck and I hope that most are not too crushed when their salary goes the way of the pundits. -Peter To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
