[FairfieldLife] Re: Mother Divine in VC
The MD servant assignment isn't voluntary, it's based on finances. Personally I like service, which is one reason I've moved away from the tmo and towards other spiritual paths. I'm not trying to liberate the oppressed MD servants - if they think their spiritual path is to iron the silk saris of rich, manipulative, mood-making princess diana wannabees, that's their choice. I guess it comes from the hindu caste system philosophy, though when you see the MD thing in practice it feels more like the british upstairs-downstairs type of thing. I just think the complex and strictly enforced MD hierarchial structure would make an interesting sociological study. Wouldn't it make a *tremendous* setting for an Agatha Christie-like murder mystery? The ashram in an Iowa trailer park, and the biggest, meanest Princess Diana wanabee trailer-trash bitch MD winds up dead as a doornail, with thirty knives sticking out of her. Master detective Hercule Pushpam has to figure out whodunnit while still getting eight hours of program in every day. Following up on this, and in the spirit of the recently-mentioned Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, here's the first sentence of the novel: Having stumbled over Wilma's dead body on the way to program, Sandra Submissive found her TM-Sidhi practice less than...uh...elevating as she sat solidly on the foam, not flying, her mind filled with a stream of distubing thoughts -- I wonder who whacked the old bitch?...I wonder if it would be more in tune with Natural Law to tell someone about the body after morning program or wait until after evening program...I wonder what's for lunch today...Do I still have to iron her saris now that she's dead?...If I wait until after evening program maybe they'll appreciate my one-pointedness and give me her old trailer -- and at the last thought she finally felt the familiar kundalini rush, smiled, and lifted up off the foam in a graceful arc, butt-bouncing madly across the room, screaming, Later!...later!... much later!

It's as if service is noble only if you're so well off you could choose not to engage in it. So much for the dignity of those whose means require them to perform humble tasks, I guess. If they're not feeling degraded, they *should* be. * My guess is that the only way that the assistants/servants to wealthy MD can be on the program is to do these lightweight jobs for wealthy members, which sounds a lot less degrading (let's see, having to iron the occasional sari in exchange for 8 hrs of TM a day, with comfortable quarters and great food, not bad), than having to rub noses with the ignorant masses in a real job where it's a struggle to do two TM-Siddhi programs a day...

You're beginning to sound like commie hypocrites. Care to explain? What was either hypocritical OR commie about what we posted? There was nothing commie about it at all. Virtually every communist society, of course, produced the greatest disparity between rich and poor. There were the party member elites who lived like kings and the proletariat who were all equal in their squalor and poverty. It is the capitalist societies that have proven to create the greatest economic equality. Take the USA, for example. Through a combination of free-market capitalism and social programs, there is very little difference between Bill Gates and the stereotypical image of the African-American child sitting on a heap of garbage in a burned out lot in Bedford-Styvesant. I am not referring, of course, to either net worth or income but, rather, to the real, objective measurements and indicators of poverty and equality: access to the basic necessities of life: health care, nutrition, shelter, clothing, education. When it comes to basic necessities, there is very, very little disparity between the richest and poorest in America. Contrary to what many Leftists would have you believe, the gap between rich and poor and narrowed in America over the last 50 years to an almost negligible corridor. That is why the economic/governmental system in the USA should be a model for the rest of the world when it comes to feeding the poor and equalizing the disparity between rich and poor. And that is why I get very upset when I read or hear that there are poor people in America. There is NO poverty in America...it has been eradicated and we should be shouting this from the rooftops for the whole world to hear. To continually harp on how there are poor in America is to commit the worst injustice to the poor of the world OUTSIDE of America. Because if we have, indeed, as I claim, solved the problem of poverty, how do we serve the interests of the poor of the world by directing them AWAY from the solution by claiming that the system in America doesn't work?

Well, actually, of course, it isn't just what Leftists would have you believe, it's cold hard statistics. If the statistics you are looking at are things such as net worth and income then, yes, you are correct. But income and net worth do NOT tell you about access to the basic necessities of life. If THAT is the standard upon which we measure poverty and disparity between people then there is almost zero disparity. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Mother Divine in VC
Well, it's hard enough trying to live a spiritual life without also having to turn oneself into a socialist! For myself, I think I prefer situations in which I can offer some service, rather than being the one who receives the service. It seems to offer more opportunities for personal growth. I remember reading the novel The Remains of the Day (the one that was made into a film some years ago) and being struck by how the butler described his calling. It seemed very much like a master-disciple relationship in which the person finds complete freedom through service. There is no sense of injustice that this person has much more than I do and therefore the situation is unfair and I am going to secretly resent it. It's another level of thinking altogether. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stop making us think thoughts that we don't like! --- feste37 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The assumption seems to be that a utopian spiritual community would not have such distinctions, but why not?

Personally I like service, which is one reason I've moved away from the tmo and towards other spiritual paths.

I guess it comes from the hindu caste system philosophy, though when you see the MD thing in practice it feels more like the british upstairs-downstairs type of thing. I just think the complex and strictly enforced MD hierarchial structure would make an interesting sociological study. Wouldn't it make a *tremendous* setting for an Agatha Christie-like murder mystery? The ashram in an Iowa trailer park, and the biggest, meanest Princess Diana wanabee trailer-trash bitch MD winds up dead as a doornail, with thirty knives sticking out of her. Master detective Hercule Pushpam has to figure out whodunnit while still getting eight hours of program in every day.
