I'm not talking about results, just intentions. Maharishi believes he can pull the rug out from under a nation or a community by telling his TB's to either stop meditating or leave an area. He said on one course back in the 70's that he just might tell us one day to stop meditating all together and we could shake the world or some such thing to get the attention of governments or the people. This is what I'm referring to. Not actual results but intentions. I think the Great Britain thing is just a gentler way of doing this. He didn't actually tell anybody to stop meditating just not to increase it's numbers any more.

Very few people could afford to move. Unless he wants MUM there without the meditating community. Even then, it would cost a fortune to build a whole campus. Even now, MUM is investing heavily in new construction here in Fairfield. A more interesting speculation is whether anything will actually be built in Kansas, and if it is (unlikely), who will occupy it?

I don't think these are reasons M would even consider if he wanted to do something like pick up and move and show the world what would happen if meditators left the area. I mean look what he did in England. Remember when he was interviewed by the press during the DC campaign and the Mississippi was flooding and he laughed and said it was because the sidhas had left and gone to DC?

Well you shouldn't refer to him as a loonie since you do still try to get in at least one meditation a day. Just because he shut down the TMO in England you should feel grateful that he may only try it on a smaller and more localized level in the US, from one town to another.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: 'Yogi's Disciples Create Oz in Kansas'
No, Bob, it failed because it was a thoroughly dumb idea which would not have benefited anyone significantly, but which a number of rus who don't seem to have much of anything else to do were trying to use to, once again, stir up trouble and get the town council and anyone else they could to focus all their attention on themselves. When that failed, they then tried to get back by not passing the SILO tax, which, happily, passed last year, despite a concerted campaign to try and make it fail. The people running these silly campaigns sure know how to tear down what others have worked hard to create, but have pitifully few ideas on what to put in their place. And incidentally, the one ru on the town council did nothing to my knowledge to actually try and research the subject, to find out what the actual costs vs benefits would have been. That was left to another member, who went way out of his way to find out those things, and, AFAIK, never even got so much as a thank-you from anyone who had been pushing it.

And even with bloc voting, the mayor is really only just another vote on the city council, on which rus are outnumbered (I don't recall the exact numbers). The Jefferson County board of supervisors has zero rus, so the political clout of rus is limited. For instance, although the mayor and rus wanted the train whistle stopped, the city council voted against this because it would cost too much money to do the workaround with the train folks.
