The court didn't declare his UC invalid, MMY did, in an
audiotape that was played for the court.

It's not "from time to time," it's *all* the time.

No need to set out intentionally to rewrite your ideas.
You don't *have* that many, and they've worn deep grooves
in your brain by now. They take up all the available
space; there's no room for any new ones. You don't have
any choice but to recycle the old ones.

In a *very* limited sense. You put different clothing

Naah. He was invading what you perceive to be your
territory, and you felt the need to assert alpha male
status to keep him in his place. Didn't work. He
laughed at you. He's still got his teeth.

Response:  Hume's bio says she has co-written with Dana Sawyer a book on the 
history of the TM movement in the USA.  But I can't find anything published by 
them yet.

It gives an account of RC and his impact on MIU in the early 1980s. I didn't 
know all that. I was on faculty at the time. I do remember that Greg Wilson was 
clearly discomfited by his encounters with RC, judging from his manner at a 
faculty meeting at the time. Greg in those days was something of an obnoxious 
bully (he's improved with the passing years, I believe), and I remember being 
rather surprised but not unhappy to see him getting so hot under the collar 
about RC.

Thanks for the link. Ch. 13 of that book, by Cynthia Ann Hume, is very 
interesting. It gives an account of RC and his impact on MIU in the early 
1980s. I didn't know all that. I was on faculty at the time. I do remember that 
Greg Wilson was clearly discomfited by his encounters with RC, judging from his 
manner at a faculty meeting at the time. Greg in those days was something of an 
obnoxious bully (he's improved with the passing years, I believe), and I 
remember being rather surprised but not unhappy to see him getting so hot under 
the collar about RC. 

I also remember those students who were expelled from MIU for following RC. One 
of them gained some kind of court order, I believe, that he thought would 
entitle him to be admitted to the dome. He brought it with him one morning, but 
security would not let him in the dome. 

MIU survived unscathed by the RC episode, as far as I recall, dramatic though 
it was for those who were involved in it. Indeed, it came only a short while 
before the Taste of Utopia course in December 83, which produced a large boost 
in enrollment, an internationalization of the student body -- mainly Europeans, 
I think -- and a widening of the degree programs that the University offered.

Cool. I'd love to hear details. The very concept of
a US court of law declaring a state of consciousness
invalid makes my curiosity glands salivate. I mean,
that's up there with China declaring reincarnation
illegal, unless they approve it first.

I fully admit to ideas reincarnating from time to time
in my mind. However, every time I give voice to them,
it's a new voice. Not once on this forum have I inten-
tionally set out to rewrite something I've written
before. The very thought of that would never occur
to me, because ideas do. That some of those ideas may
deal with the subject of previous ideas I do not deny.
But in another sense they're original every time. 

> So holy jamoli we finally get a real celebrity and you and 
> others turn your formidable guns toward scaring him off. 

That was never my intention, as I suspect even MZ knows.
I was just trying to clue him in a little to the saloon
nature of this place, and that expecting people to react
to him the way they might have in the past just wasn't
likely to fly here. 

> My goodness, is he that threatening. He's just a zebra,

As a completely gratuitous aside, have you ever wondered
what product would show up if you scanned a zebra like
they were a bar code?  :-)

For the record, I'm not suggesting that anyone here curtail
their exchanges with MZ. I'll probably read many of them,
just to see how the latest instance of this trend plays out.
I cannot promise to be interested enough to comment on them.

Here's the reason I replied to your post.

Why would they want to?

Wouldn't you have to be pretty sold on your personal version
of Truth to want to argue it with someone, famous or not?
Just sayin'...

Not well. Got to know a few of them during the time I
lived in Malibu. Most of the good ones are working for
TV like HBO or Showtime or Starz now. They find it a
much more creative environment than movies.

Great quote. I didn't know that one. It is duly copied

I just love the circus of "me toos" that emerged on the spiritual or 
guru scene in the 1970s.  One that popped up was run by one of my high 
school buddies who was our student body president and a jock at the 
university we both attended.  I had to laugh when I actually ran into 
someone "very involved" with his organization.

RESPONSE: Hey, Turq, if my irony won't do it, nothing will—and then, for sure, 
I will have to stop posting here. What a mean guy you are. Do you know what 
it's like to be hit by this kind of criticism? I think you don't, because if 
you knew where you had struck me you would have pity on me. It's beginning to 
really wear me down, having to be pilloried like this again and 
again—especially by yourself.

But if I ever feel you actually have hit the bull's eye, Turq, I will STFU. But 
as long as I see you shooting wildly and off-target, I will just have to keep 
offending and boring you.

I haven't called you names yet, why are you calling me names?

It's not fair (dries an unwanted tear).

You don't know how much it hurts to be so beautiful and so misunderstood.

Enough is enough Turq, don't you realize MZ is a celebrity. The kind we rarely 
see on FFL. Its like Bevan, Charlie or Jerry decided to grace us with their 
presence, someone who actually did something in the TMO. 

To name just a few highlights the MZ's CV includes:

1. His UC was confirmed by the Rish himself, in front of a large group of 
witnesses, and then, in a court of law, declared invalid. 

2. Author of 11 books.

3. Been the subject academic research

http://www.scribd.com/doc/23659916/Sacred-Schisms-How-Religions-Divide

(chap 13)

4. Successfully started his own cult, which included experienced initiators. 

5. Actually took on the movement, unlike a lot of the complainers on this blog.

6. Met the Ayatollah 

7. Actually had a confrontation with the man who commercialized confrontation. 

and so on 

Turq, please don't get me wrong. I've been a confirmed lurker on FFL for over a 
year and your writing is one of the things that brings me back when I start 
getting bored (although I suspect your writing would be better described as 
re-writing which as we all know is what good writing is). So holy jamoli we 
finally get a real celebrity and you and others turn your formidable guns 
toward 
scaring him off. My goodness, is he that threatening. He's just a zebra, 
granted 
he's masked.

Robin, please don't pay attention to this type of rudeness. I don't think for a 
moment any of your detractors on FFL could take on any of the characters you've 
taken on. Just ask yourself the question, 'whose story would Hollywood buy, 
mine 
or Turq's'? Hollywood buys conflict and I know of few people in the New Age 
that 
survived more conflict than you did. Granted Turq could probably get hired as a 
screenwriter in Hollywood but we all know how writers are treated in that town. 
Your story actually has commercial value and anyone who spent time with 
the Rish knows the value of a good story. So MZ, if you're planning to launch a 
new cult I'm your man. I think there's still a bundle to be made. Weak 
management may have been the problem last go round.

Also MZ, unlike a number of the FFL Jackals that have have been chasing you 
around the Savannah, I have a bunch of quesions for you. 

For starters:

What are your thoughts on the Saraswati mantras, where do you think he got them?

And Turq, to quote the Twain, "sorry this is so long, I didn't have time to 
make 
it shorter.

For the record, I now assume that this is true, not
only because blastedactresses is avoiding the question
completely, but because he/she only appeared on this
forum when MZ mentioned Erhard.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I've rarely seen a meltdown 
to match MZ's. As I've said before, if it weren't for
mentions of him on this forum I wouldn't have any idea
who Robin Carlson was or is; I had left the TMO long
before he made any loud-frog-in-a-small-pond splash
there. But based on his performance here so far, I'm 
inclined to go with those who described him during 
that period as nuts.

First Rick asked some pretty simple and non-threatening
questions of him, and the guy *ignores* the questions
completely and then goes off about all the assumptions
Rick is making about spirituality, enlightenment, what-
ever. And then the drama queen histrionics when I give
him a little ribbing for being such a solipsist that
he doesn't even know when he's being boring. And now
all of this "missionary" crap and hanging on to a 
decades-old grudge and paranoia. Gotta say it...Dude's 
a loon in my book.

Sorry, MZ, but you brought it on yourself. I actually
*agree* with some of the things you've said here about
UC not being any kind of ultimate state of consciousness,
but too much is too much. It's not just that you're a 
drama queen; it's that you're being a douche. Over and

For the record, I now assume that this is true, not
only because blastedactresses is avoiding the question
completely, but because he/she only appeared on this
forum when MZ mentioned Erhard.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I've rarely seen a meltdown 
to match MZ's. As I've said before, if it weren't for
mentions of him on this forum I wouldn't have any idea
who Robin Carlson was or is; I had left the TMO long
before he made any loud-frog-in-a-small-pond splash
there. But based on his performance here so far, I'm 
inclined to go with those who described him during 
that period as nuts.

First Rick asked some pretty simple and non-threatening
questions of him, and the guy *ignores* the questions
completely and then goes off about all the assumptions
Rick is making about spirituality, enlightenment, what-
ever. And then the drama queen histrionics when I give
him a little ribbing for being such a solipsist that
he doesn't even know when he's being boring. And now
all of this "missionary" crap and hanging on to a 
decades-old grudge and paranoia. Gotta say it...Dude's 
a loon in my book.

Sorry, MZ, but you brought it on yourself. I actually
*agree* with some of the things you've said here about
UC not being any kind of ultimate state of consciousness,
but too much is too much. It's not just that you're a 
drama queen; it's that you're being a douche. Over and
out.

:I just wonder what the answers to those 3 simple questions are and why you are 
choosing to not answer them, that's all.  Because you don't answer them, I 
wonder if you are in fact an est, forum or Landmark grad or here specifically 
to defend WE.

RESPONSE: Ah, the bottom line. We must therefore boycott all your Hollywood 
pictures, blastedactresses. Because with this answer you are in contempt of 
court. Why not take the Fifth? You are already in too deep.

But know this, blastedactresses: assuming you ARE an est person and here on 
this blog to defend the reputation of Werner, I reach out to you in all 
sincerity: You are in a very subtle trance—to the detriment of your beautiful 
soul. Werner, he is at bottom (although he doesn't know this) a real hater. And 
I can't quite believe how he maims and wounds the innocence of human beingness. 
Even as, like you, the est graduate feels no pain, and is on top of the world. 
Compute, within the est universe, blastedactresses, this exchange you have had 
with persons on this blog. You can't, because it won't WORK for you. And WORK 
is what est, The Forum, and Landmark Education is all about.

No, Werner and Landmark Education will be taken down—not by me of course. But 
the intelligence of loving goodness (my opinion here) behind the universe. That 
intelligence hates Werner more than Werner—unconsciously—hates human beings.

Had enough, blastedactresses?

You see, the proof of everything I have said about Werner is the fact THAT YOU 
DO NOT POSSESS THE MENTAL SPACE TO MANOEUVRE YOURSELF INTO A POSITION SUCH AS 
TO KNOW YOU HAVE DEALT WITH THIS EXPERIENCE. This is the limitation of the 
Werner universe: It can't deliver when it comes up against reality.

Although of course I will repudiate everything I have said about you personally 
if you JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION. Are you seeking to effect a counter-influence 
to what I initially posted about my experience with Werner? and have been hard 
at this project ever since?

"Everything is grace". I stand behind that. So this too is grace.
