Your prediction about me will be wrong. :Let me tell you what will happen  to 
me in Fairfield. I will buy a home. Wait for the passing over of MMY. Pay my  
respects to MMY and live in Fairfield for about two years. I will most  
likely marry a woman from India who I will meet in Fairfield who can calm my  
Italian nature down. When MMY passes over he will advance to the third level of 
 
the fifth dimension The big difference between MMY and me is that I am more 
open 
 minded regarding the feelings of others and do not feel that one has to 
study  all the volumes of the Vedas or memorize all of Patanjali's sutras in 
order 
to  be considered a valuable teacher. The judgements that many into eastern  
philosophy are based on a Guru disciple relationship that was a part of the 
dark  age. 
 
There are hundreds of volunteers from the fifth dimension in Fairfield, IA.  
I think most of the people in Fairfield will enjoy me. I have friends on the 
MUM  campus who I've worked with and many TM teachers who always commented that 
 I am a very dedicated soul to my TM practice. I collected many pictures of  
MMY when I lived at TM centers and even though I bitch about the TMO I love 
the  knowledge that MMY has to offer to the world. It is unfortunate that MMY 
had to  be so attached to Guru Dev and turn the Holy Tradition into a religion. 
It is a  big stumbling block in presenting the knowledge to the public. Just 
look in the  eastern philosophy section of Barnes and Noble and you will see 
many books on  the Dalai Lama. Why? Because he told everyone from the beginning 
that he was  part of a religion and made his knowledge available to the public 
at low cost. 
 
MMY is such a great teacher and has only done disservice to himself by not  
learning from other teachers who are better examples of infinite flexibility.  
The Vedic tradition remains unpopular because it only fits the pocket book of  
the intellectually refined. This does not allow everyone to participate. So 
life  goes on. I'm not trying to be a problem for Fairfield but many of you do 
have a  problem with writing around a topic heading. You are easily drawn to 
jumping on  the  pointing the finger crowd. I've been writing for years and I 
can't  believe the response sometimes from the FFL column. You want to take a 
couple of  lines I write out of hundreds of words and twist it into some less 
than positive  scenario. I am fully aware that not everyone in Fairfield is a 
regular  contributor of the FFL in Fairfield Iowa. Many people are not 
wanting to join in  because most of it is about the next conspiracy or lie that 
hasn't been  talked about yet or has already had its time. Many are pissed off 
at 
the TMO for  throwing them out of the dome. They should be. Many have found 
other Guru's to  follow to continue where MMY left off. I think I will enjoy 
living in Fairfield.  But it does have its challenges for me.
 
They don't value you as a teacher unless you have studied volumes of the  
Veda and are from India with long hair. I love SSRS quote from a video: The  
question to him is  What is enlightenment? His reply was -Enlightenment is a  
big joke. That is the best explanation of enlightenment I have heard from any  
teacher. 
Who cares about enlightenment. I just want to live in a world where people  
are less critical and more open minded in believing that life can be easy and  
less dependent on outside structures to fulfill our desires. That time is 
coming  soon and I am proud to serve the universe in my own expression as a 
volunteer  from the fourth level of the sixth dimension with my spiritual 
families 
that i  miss so much. I've become so tired of the lack of faith of people on 
this planet  that life will always be the same and nothing will change for the 
better.

life. But mostly the way humans firmly believe that they cannot change the  
way life has been structured for them. They can't comprehend how controlled 
they  are by the International Banking System and how they have the power to 
choose  the life they want. After all the years of learning and teaching, I 
feel 
very  strongly that the only way humanity will change is from a more advanced 
race  through a massive intervention. I know it sounds like
wishful thinking to some but it has been with me for years. People are not  
strong enough and lack spiritual courage to really make the difference that is  
needed. Money has enslaved the souls of many. I was sitting next to a friend 
of  a director for the department for the development of cons who tuned me 
down to  fly in the dome. He said  If you want to fly in the dome then make a

wealthy in MMYO are in for a huge fallout when they come to realize that all

There is no one person who started anything, Maharishi or otherwise, lest it's 
something Like Guru Datta or Samanthabhadra, who may have been said to stopper 
the lineage of all gurus at the top. At any rate, all this life is not created. 
It has never risen from the unmanifest even for a moment. This is the truth. 
Noone has created anything, and nothing has been created. All form is noted 
peripherally as it comes from the formless and returns to it. Not created by 
anyone, not harmed by anyone, not realized by anyone better than anyone else. 
If you get this then your mind and body will become as a lozenge placed into 
the mouth of the timeless dharmadhatu.

I think the feeling level of Fairfield has improved greatly with the
spiritual eclecticism that has grown and evolved over the years.
That's not to say that the TMers don't add to the sweet atmosphere.
It's just that a lot of people's spiritual needs are clearly not being
met by adhering to a strict TM-only paradigm. Some have left TM
behind, and others have stuck with it but added other spiritual
activities outside their TM practice. The end result, however, is the
Fairfield community having more spiritually fulfilled people.

As for Lou, I can understand the anguish that comes through in his
posts. At heart, he's still a TM TB, but the TMO has shunned him as
being impure and not worthy of participating in TMO activities. I
imagine that's a painful situation to be in, and it will probably take
some time before he settles into a more balanced view of his situation
and the Fairfield community as a whole.

My take is obviously biased, but from my POV the few hard-core TMers 
still here seem to live only to make life more difficult, both for 
themselves and for anyone else in the town, at least whenever possible. 
  All the nonsense about train whistles, south entrances, encouraging 
everyone to move to VC, skimming $$ off of the school tuition, etc, all 
have as a common theme attempting to put the needs of a favored few 
above anyone else's, and to heck with common sense, or even laws.  
Instead of trying to add to the nice atmosphere, they try to create 
isolation and use magical thinking as a substitute for any creative or 
lasting solutions.  Since there's no way they can stop the onslaught of 
spirituality that's come here, they simply pretend it doesn't exist. At 
least they're not taking down license plate #s or calling up employers 
anymore.  Wouldn't be much point to that since most everyone's been 
banned anyway.

My take is obviously biased, but from my POV the few hard-core TMers 
still here seem to live only to make life more difficult, both for 
themselves and for anyone else in the town, at least whenever possible. 
All the nonsense about train whistles, south entrances, encouraging 
everyone to move to VC, skimming $$ off of the school tuition, etc, all 
have as a common theme attempting to put the needs of a favored few 
above anyone else's, 

I agree with you, except for the train whistles point. That's an
inconvenience to many, and especially to the financially disadvantaged, who
tend to live nearer the tracks. It would enhance the quality of life in the
town to silence those whistles.

  Rick, that's misleading.  The *only* people pushing it are hard-core 
TMers, everybody else is fine with it, including long-time home owners 
living right next to the tracks.  It's no better or worse than whistles 
anywhere else in the US.  There's nothing inherent about FF that makes 
the whistles louder.  Masquerading as somehow protecting the poor, when 
the TMO has a history of caring less about anyone not wealthy, is 
really dishonest.  Anyone of those TMers pushing this knew when they 
bought their houses that they were near the tracks.  And they could 
easily move.

A few years ago when this came up,  at least one of the city council 
members went to a lot of trouble to get information (a lot more trouble 
than anyone who was pushing it, as far as I knew) and they were given a 
very thorough and fair hearing from the Council who then voted.  It was 
determined that the huge inconvenience and expense to nearly the entire 
town, including many closed streets that everyone uses, would not be 
worth whatever the benefit in noise reduction might be.  I'm sure you 
remember that.

   Rick, that's misleading.  The *only* people pushing it are hard-core

I'm not pushing it, but I'm in favor of it. I'm not a hard-core TMer, as you
know.

everybody else is fine with it, including long-time home owners

I know people who live near the tracks who aren't fine with it, so
everybody is too absolute a term.

 anywhere else in the US.  There's nothing inherent about FF that makes

True, but many communities have installed the equipment to eliminate the
whistles. They must have had their reasons, and from what I've read, they
were happy with the decision.

 the TMO has a history of caring less about anyone not wealthy, is
 really dishonest.  Anyone of those TMers pushing this knew when they
 bought their houses that they were near the tracks.  And they could

For me it's not a TM issue. If TMers are pushing it, that's coincidental. Or
maybe they're fussy. I don't care. Train whistles are not a life or death
issue for me. I just think that silencing them would be one more thing which
would enhance the quality of life here. Of course, if we wait long enough
and alternative energies really take off, so that we stop burning coal,
there will be very few trains coming through, so the issue will be moot.

I do, but from what I understand of the current effort, the expense wouldn't
be that great. Bill Blackmore is coming up with some clever ideas for
covering it. And only one or two seldom-used streets would be closed.

Nice point on the Sam Harris thread.

As far as Sai goes, if he gets to take the fall back position, when
exposed as a charlatan, that he used to do real magic before he got
caught faking it, I think Carl Rove must be moonlighting on
spinthisgurusbs.com  I have a simpler explanation.

And if Uncle Ernie gets caught, just once, with his hand up my niece's
skirt, he loses his seat at the Thanksgiving table forever.

Sai is like one of those burned out kiddie magicians after their third
divorce.  He doesn't even bother with any misdirection because he has
contempt for his audience. Spend five minutes in Barnes and Noble with
the classic: Magic for Beginners, Amaze Your Friends and you will
see the the right way to do his whole routine.

Did I mention his bad hair?  That is irrefutable proof of his lack of
enlightenment.  Enlightened guys can keep their fro flat and silky

I had a long conversation with Sai Baba's former English translator, 
an American, many years ago, and he told me then that Baba was a 
fake. That the ash, trinkets were stored in a warehouse, and that 
Baba had no power. He uses sleigth of hand. He certainly has no 
teaching. I've been to one of his ashrams, and they've got nothing, 
just vague Hindu mumbo jumbo that I'm not sure even they understand. 
It's nowhere.

   The info on Sai Baba being a pedophile is now overwhelming, not 
from
   scandalous websites but mainly from former leaders of his org., 
many
   of whom had children sodomized and verified by doctors.  These 
were
   people who did not want to believe the truth about Sai Baba but
   couldn't ignore the evidence after much agonizing.  Do some 
common
   sense research on this rather than listening to channelers.
   
   Spiritual people look the other way when children are being 
molested?
The world is a bad place because people show some 
discrimination as
   to who is and who isn't a true spiritual teacher?  
   
   I had a very open mind about this issue when I first came 
across it,
   but I can't find any supporter of Sai Baba who's making any 
reasonable
   argument, just the above spiritual jive talk.  
   
   Walking around in robes talking about God and periodically 
displaying
   some sidhis due to a grossly inbalanced kundalini process 
doesn't
   provide any kind of cover for grossly dark behavior.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: WHAT WILL FAIRFIELD IOWA LOOK LIKE BY THE END

Easy does it. Sai Baba is not a petafile. If you are so certain that
Sai Baba is then get someone to video tape it. Stop listening to
everyone and everything. If you do the bullshit piles up and you can
get it all over
yourself. Go within for your answers. If you want to visit every
website that has stories to degrade anyone
then you have too much free time. Go to the dome and hop around for
world peace. It would be healthier
than finding out what Guru screwed who. It is no wonder the world is
the way it is with so many people lacking faith in some higher good.
Let the angels of God judge Sai Baba. No one gets away with anything
anyhow. Change the channel and get a new antenna. Or as Maharishi used
to say-Focus on the rose not the thorns. Stop judging every teacher
that comes along and let them work out there own karma. Be thankful
for what they have given to us. Everyone changes in their own time. Lsoma.

I see what you mean. The closer you look, the worse it gets:

http://www.saibabaexpose.com/fecris.htm

Maharishi just wanted to change the world by telling it to relax, because in 
fact he wanted 
everyone to become TM meditators, regardless of whom and what they were. He 
made 
people feel so welcome but his ultimate aim, which I only began to understand 
after 1975 
when I left the organisation, was to create a world government and, until today 
there is a 
parallel world government run by Ministers, Maharajas and Kings with plastic 
crowns and 
mantles as in the Middle Ages. The fact is that they believe this and they are 
not just 
anyone, but well educated people, psychiatrists, doctors, ministers, 
psychologists, all 
those people that today appear on the famous TV show run by Oprah Winfrey. Her 
sponsoring of the movement brings them much success through trumped up support 
from 
famous doctors and publications. You can all connect to the Maharishi Satellite 
Network: 
there is a very important 24h a day Channel and there it is very easy to see 
what is going 
on.


Why did I leave this organisation? I began to wake up when he declared that 
Mother Teresa 
was the worst kind of human being on earth. She later won the Nobel Prize. His 
main 
problem with her was that he wanted the Nobel Prize for himself. I was told to 
manipulate 
those responsible for choosing the people to be nominated. We tried to do this 
and 
succeeded, as he had much influence at that time, to get him nominated but this 
was 
blocked by King Olaf of Norway.


He then started saying that all his teachers, I was one of them, were soon 
going to levitate. 
We were going to fly and we would visit all kinds of planets about which the

Once I hopped off the foam in the domes onto the cement. I went to a 
chiropractor for six months after that, and went back to transcending and 
left the sports for skinny vegans.

 Uh, you might want to change the channel or check their antenna if
 that's what they said.

 Check out Conny Larsson's (sp?) website for starters, this poor guy
 seems to have a karmic knack for finding false teachers.


 I see what you mean. The closer you look, the worse it gets:

 http://www.saibabaexpose.com/fecris.htm

 Maharishi just wanted to change the world by telling it to relax, because 
 in fact he wanted
 everyone to become TM meditators, regardless of whom and what they were. 
 He made
 people feel so welcome but his ultimate aim, which I only began to 
 understand after 1975
 when I left the organisation, was to create a world government and, until 
 today there is a
 parallel world government run by Ministers, Maharajas and Kings with 
 plastic crowns and
 mantles as in the Middle Ages. The fact is that they believe this and they 
 are not just
 anyone, but well educated people, psychiatrists, doctors, ministers, 
 psychologists, all
 those people that today appear on the famous TV show run by Oprah Winfrey. 
 Her
 sponsoring of the movement brings them much success through trumped up 
 support from
 famous doctors and publications. You can all connect to the Maharishi 
 Satellite Network:
 there is a very important 24h a day Channel and there it is very easy to 
 see what is going
 on.


 Why did I leave this organisation? I began to wake up when he declared 
 that Mother Teresa
 was the worst kind of human being on earth. She later won the Nobel Prize. 
 His main
 problem with her was that he wanted the Nobel Prize for himself. I was 
 told to manipulate
 those responsible for choosing the people to be nominated. We tried to do 
 this and
 succeeded, as he had much influence at that time, to get him nominated but 
 this was
 blocked by King Olaf of Norway.


 He then started saying that all his teachers, I was one of them, were soon 
 going to levitate.
 We were going to fly and we would visit all kinds of planets about which 
 the psychiatrists
 and other spiritual teachers were always telling us. I realised that this 
 could not be true as
 I taught these courses. They called it the TM-Sidhi Programme. At these 
 flying courses
 people would be sitting cross-legs on their backsides on their mattresses 
 and they

Easy does it. Sai Baba is not a petafile. If you are so certain that Sai  
Baba is then get someone to video tape it. Stop listening to everyone and  
everything. If you do the bullshit piles up and you can get it all over
yourself. Go within for your answers. If you want to visit every website  
that has stories to degrade anyone
then you have too much free time. Go to the dome and hop around for world  
peace. It would be healthier
than finding out what Guru screwed who. It is no wonder the world is the  way 
it is with so many people lacking faith in some higher good. Let the angels  
of God judge Sai Baba. No one gets away with anything anyhow. Change the 
channel  and get a new antenna. Or as Maharishi used to say-Focus on the rose 
not 
the  thorns. Stop judging every teacher that comes along and let them work out 
there  own karma. Be thankful
for what they have given to us. Everyone changes in their own  time. Lsoma.

The info on Sai Baba being a pedophile is now overwhelming, not from
scandalous websites but mainly from former leaders of his org., many
of whom had children sodomized and verified by doctors.  These were
people who did not want to believe the truth about Sai Baba but
couldn't ignore the evidence after much agonizing.  Do some common
sense research on this rather than listening to channelers.

Spiritual people look the other way when children are being molested?
 The world is a bad place because people show some discrimination as
to who is and who isn't a true spiritual teacher?  

I had a very open mind about this issue when I first came across it,
but I can't find any supporter of Sai Baba who's making any reasonable
argument, just the above spiritual jive talk.  

Walking around in robes talking about God and periodically displaying
some sidhis due to a grossly inbalanced kundalini process doesn't
provide any kind of cover for grossly dark behavior.

The sidhis he displayed were apparently sleight of hand tricks - this accoridng 
to many 
disciples who worked with him for years.  He kept the rings and trinkets hidden 
between 
the folds of blankets that were piled next to him.  The rings were made of 
cheap metals 
and glass stones by jewers in India who sold them to Sai Baba's people.  
Apparently there 
are vidoetapes of Sai Baba that show him quickly removing rings and ash etc 
from the pile 
of blankets and then putting them up his sleeves.  Many people attest to 
knowing this and 
to helping to set it all up. They were so ensconced in the group that they 
never said 
anything about it for years!!  He must have had some mesmerizing presence to 
have 
pulled all this stuff off for so many years.

I don't know if Sai Baba pulls the whole Michael Jackson beat it
routine with kids, but I do know that he is a shitty magician.  I've
seen the tapes of his versions of tricks that I learned when I was 10
years old.  I saw his fumbling version of the steal the Vibhuti from
the napkin while pretending to wipe your hands trick.  I've seen the
same double sided vase that I got for my birthday as a kid, used to
amaze his gullible followers. I've seen him palm amulets and produce
them on film as if he pulled them out of his cosmic ass. You are
letting him get away with a magic act that would not cut it in a 4th
grade talent show.
