Watching old episodes of Sopranos these days I realized how much you resemble
Jackie Aprile, perhaps the angriest fellow in the whole series. He even claimed
he learned meditation in prison. Perhaps you should try it before the anger
eats you.
Judy called Curtis a liar, and I felt sorry for him getting so beat up all
the time, so I started to reach out to him to start a dialog a few days ago.
But, he was so egotistical and arrogant that I realized he wasn't here to
discuss anything - he just wants a bulletin board to make himself look like a
big-shot artist and a teacher greater than Maharishi and Maitreya combined.

Hey tourettes troll, give it a rest. Your strategy of distraction doesn't work
any more, I am done with that topic and have moved on. Come up with something
smart and interesting to show how wrong I am, put in a little effort like
Lawson who has made interesting points I disagree with.In other words how about
you showing that you have gained a modicum of development from the programs you
love so much and get off the repeated word flood tactic.

What I wonder about is why anyone would take seriously a clown who's life is
begging for pity and a few dollars on street-corners. The reason why he lash
out now is because someone dared challenge his grandiose notion that the noise
he creates is art simply because someone foolishly and out of pity actually
pay him something.

Um, have you ever actually spent hours at a time with each resident of a
nursing home, as in worked there, changing diapers, serving meals, doing bed
checks? I have, and the thing that clearly distinguishes Maharishi's response,
from that of someone suffering from dementia, is that Maharishi, despite some
irritability, retains his focus. The same cannot be said of nursing home
patients, with dementia.
Quite a stretch, from you, with a little cherry-picked evidence as garnish.
Seems very similar to the sort of things you have been accusing Nabby of
lately, doesn't it? I guess fairness only counts, when *you* are the target.

This observation only matters because at the heart of a lot of the premises in
TM is that the state of consciousness in enlightenment transcends the
functioning of the brain. This is the premise on which we have claims about
witnessing deep sleep for example, and all the conjectural nonsense surrounding
what happens after a conscious enlightened death. It is stated in different
ways as a premise underneath many claims about how a person functions in
enlightenment.
We saw Maharishi, who in his salad days would have gigglingly swatted away such
a direct question calling him on an outrageous claim, completely flummoxed and
left with a broom in his hand chasing the local scamps out of his rutabaga
patch.
How can it be that consciousness development can have an effect on the person
after their brain stops functioning and rots, when it couldn't even weather the
storm of old age for the supposedly most developed person, Maharishi himself?
Apparently consciousness development has the same impact as imagination
development when it comes to being able to resist the ravages of age. Brain
functioning trumps all imagination of it being otherwise. And the difference
between Maharishi in old age and my own father can only be seen clearly in the
zeros in their bank accounts.
