 From what I recall, there were 4 reasons MMY forbid looking 
 elsewhere:  First, to protect people from getting sidetracked
 from the TM path and onto a flashier but less evolutionary
 method. The assumption here was that TMers were in many cases
 unable to discern the difference between the Real Deal and
 lesser and possibly harmful crap (ie Robin Carlson, etc).

(Carlsen.)

Wayback, since you are obviously not that familiar with
Robin's deal, you probably shouldn't use him as an
example.

Without going into a long dissertation, possibly the most
important thing to know in this context is that according
to Peter Sutphen, Bevan said Maharishi had ordered him,
Bevan, to leave Robin alone when Robin showed up at MIU
with his group. Bevan ignored Maharishi's instruction,
and a big public mess was the result.

Robin and his followers were completely dedicated to
Maharishi. Maharishi had kept his eye on Robin when he
was teaching in Canada (at that point most of his
group were TM initiators) but never interfered.

Bottom line, Robin was an anomaly, not an example of
the lesser and possibly harmful crap Maharishi wanted
to protect TMers from.
   
   I disagree.  I was around exactly when Robin was in full cry
   and while I never went to hear him (and would not have bothered
   to being at the time a fairly loyal Tm teacher) I heard from
   others I trusted how odd the whole thing was. Whatever we have 
   heard that MMY supposedly told Bevan, there is more to the
   story.
  
  Well, when you find out what more there was, do let us
  know. I'm just telling you what Peter said here that
  Bevan told him, and Peter is pretty reliable. Perhaps you
  can straighten it out with him.
  
  And as I mentioned, there's also the fact that while
  Maharishi kept tabs on Robin and his group of TM
  initiators in Canada, Maharishi never interfered, so it
  appears Maharishi didn't think any protection was
  required.
 
 The fact that MMY did not interfere says nothing about whether he felt 
 Robin's followers needed protecting. 
  
   It was not benign from what I heard from friends at that very
   time.  People OTP or even somewhat devoted to MMY did NOT go
   and see or follow Robin.  (Whether it is good to be OTP is a
   whole other discussion). Robin and his group were not
   considered at all to be devoted to MMY.
  
  That may be, but those doing the considering were simply
  uninformed (or misinformed) on that point. Even after
  Maharishi had to disown Robin in the court case Bevan
  instigated, and Robin and his group had to leave town,
  Robin remained loyal to Maharishi for at least a couple
  of years (not sure of the exact time frame).

that the Domes were built at the expense of the Movement (which ultimately now

   because the fulfillment is to create heaven on earth?
   Looks like a good reasons to me!
   Has not there been trouble with a large continued donation, recently?
   Donating a 100 million can start chiseling at the accounting books of 
   billionaires? 
  
  If they care more about money than fulfilling Marshy's wishes
  then they will.
  
  Remember, their definition of heaven on earth is the establishment
  of a vedic civilisation (or what their idea of one is) and that
  will only happen with everyone on the programme. This is how they
  think. Well, not think, it's what they were trained to do. It's
  going to be the deepest thing in Bevans life. Not just his job but
  his whole raison d'etre.
  
  
In the UK, if you want to join the community in Skelmersdale
you have to watch a tape where the head of the UK movement
states as clearly as possible that they are quite happy for
people to experiment with other techniques or see other teachers,
just don't do it there. I agree with it, decide which boat
you are in or you'll end up trying to go in two directions at
once. Which never works.

   
   Life is a one way street and all that encompasses this journey and brings 
   happiness to the self and those who you wish around you, this is all the 
   same direction!
  
  Tell them that. As I point out they are happy for you to do
  whatever you want. Somewhere else.
  
  
   Like saying one should only speak English and not learn Japanese, French, 
   Italian, Hindi?because it MIGHT confuse a child learning?
   Math and dance do not coexist?
   Painting and Poetry are two different mediums of expression, so stick to 
   only one?
  
  Poor analogy. If you were to try speaking English and Japanese at 
  the same time you would encounter serious confusion. Which is a good
  analogy of what the TMO think will happen if you mix stuff up in 
  the dome - it won't be as effective as just speaking one language.
 
 Ah, no. Tell that to my friends who are multilingual and learned at the same 
 time. Tell that

 Actually much more pathetic to have QUIT TM OVER 40 YEARS AGO, and yet, still 
 remain obsessed with who does it, and for how long, and how it is now being 
 marketed, and who Maharishi was, or wasn't, and your opinion on those in the 
 TM Org, and how the sidhis work, and what they do or do not do, etc, etc,

 Fuck dude, you spend a lot more time on TM, than most of us do, who actually

 Its a really odd thing, this addiction of yours, to something you haven't

 someone with an obsession like yours, who had nothing whatsoever to do with

 As a result, I am really glad you live on a different continent, than I do.

This, the Turqs obsession with the TMO, has been pointed out again and again

that don't have shit to do with a Hindu devotional practice done to receive the

  It seems that extremists on both sides are determined to maintain the state

  there should be a change of direction in order to turn a new page in this 
  unstable relationship and minimize the state of hostility and mistrust 
  between the two positions. 
 
 From what I recall, there were 4 reasons MMY forbid looking elsewhere:  
 First, to protect people from getting sidetracked from the TM path and onto a 
 flashier but less evolutionary method. The assumption here was that TMers 
 were in many cases unable to discern the difference between the Real Deal and 
 lesser and possibly harmful crap (ie Robin Carlson, etc). Second, there is 
 value in sticking with a single path and not diluting it with other ways 
 and creating a mishmash of approaches. Third, the TMO and MMY would suffer if 
 the public noticed that TM'ers were still looking for help to solve their own 
 issues or to find a better Master.  Fourth, a belief that TM was the best way 
 and pretty much the only way to enlightenment.


Yes the [TM sufficiency articles] held by the tru-believers, except clearly the 
meditating movement does not believe or hold them as articles of faith like our 
TM-taliban does.  We got a problem with a few ultra-preservationist meditators 
in the middle of everything holding the Meissner Effect [ME] and the Dome 
meditation hostage with their own faith about things.
-Buck in the Dome

 Now, whatever of the above points might be true, or not,  things are 
 different in  this day and age it is a fact that people will easily be able 
 to look at other methods to meditate, calm themselves, or evolve.  To assume 
 that once a person learns TM they will never be curious about another program 
 or teacher or saint is ludicrous. And so is the assumption that they should 
 be excluded from the good graces of the TMO if they do widen their 
 horizons.The TMO has to make a decision soon: to continue to strictly follow 
 MMYs policy from about 1970, or to soften up and realize how different our 
 world is now and how infantalizing the old policy is. 
 
  How simple it would be to just scrap the whole department that deals with 
 the blacklisting and gatekeeping.  Just say the Domes are only for the 
 practice of TM and TMSP, but all who agree to do this are welcome. Welcome 
 back.
 
 Everyone around the Prime Minister is saying they are only waiting for the 
 guy to die to resolve the conflict.  However in mediation let us hope for a 
 communal peace and reconciliation in a large group meditation before then.

Repealing TM's  Anti-Saint Policies

Urgently A  'repeal movement' is clearly needed now to save the TM movement.  
A repeal of the anti-saint policies if only to sustain a meditation group for 
the Dome meditation numbers.  A meditation without fear.  The TM movement's 
anti-saint policies have long bred hypocrisy and contempt for the movement and 
its leadership inside and outside the meditating community.  We need only look 
at the decades  long slide in numbers meditating or the Dome meditation 
numbers.  They are down and it is an uphill fight to get numbers back against 
the hard-heads on top.  Simply to save the Dome numbers meditating there needs 
to come along a flat out repeal movement against these Dome policies.  The Dome 
policies and guidelines have clearly failed to sustain our numbers and it is 
time and has become our larger responsibility to change those guidelines with 
repeal.  The Taliban-like leaders of the movement with their anti-saint 
policies have made for a TM movement of
 corruption, liars and hypocrites.  More than reforming, the time is come for 
the repeal of the anti-saint polices to save the Dome meditating program; 
Repeal now the anti-saint guidelines to save the Dome numbers.  The saints are 
returning soon again.  It is a fact of life.  Repeal the TM-Anti-Saint policies 
now to save the Domes before it is too late..  The time has come to make your 
voice heard and join the Anti-Saint repeal movement for all our benefit.


 Repealing TM's anti-saint policies it seems has terribly strong parallels to 
 the context of the 18th Amendment 'Repeal Movement' in the 20th Century.  
 Take a look at this short piece on Pauline Sabin of the movement to repeal 
 the 18th amendment:  A theme of the undoing of the 'dry's' from early was 
 their own self-destruct of unbending policies in the face of a reality.   
 Sort of like TM's movement administration trying to restrict and prohibit its 
 own people from visiting other saints and holy people and only relying on its 
 own TM teachers and consultants.

 Sabin and the movement to repeal the 18th Amendment, Have a look:

 deceit and moral dissonance of their leadership. That became more directly
