It seems to me that the karma line of reasoning isn't very worthwhile. The Hindu tradition tells us that the course of karma is unfathomable. That implies to me that nothing definitive can ever be said about it, even amongst those who subscribe to the theory. To do moreso is to claim more knowledge than Krishna indicated was possible for a human.
On the other hand, suppose that we could find an unmistakable connection between a country's wrongdoings in the past and Maharishi's cutting them out of Heaven on Earth and Sat Yuga. Why then would it make sense for Maharishi to include just about any country in the world? Think of the recent threads on FFL re the mass murders that have taken place by the Germans (during WWII), by Stalinist Russia, in the former Yugoslavia, in parts of Africa, etc. Why don't these countries get cut out of Heaven as well? Maharishi's platform has always been about amending the errors of the past, not about punishing the errors of the past. This Brit thing is entirely out of character with his lifetime platform, if not out of character with his private railings against the CIA etc. Maharishi's platform has always been about global enlightenment - we all rise together faster when we all participate. Cutting a whole country out of the good news isn't what he taught us. This is an entirely new aberration. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "lupidus108" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "claudiouk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > MMY punishing UK for Blair has nothing to do with the old British > > empire! > > Of course it has.
