Recertified UK teachers, I gather, are seemingly taking it in their stride (very English this!)and they sense that MORE of this kind of thing is likely to happen elsewhere, as MMY gradually shuts down his Movement.
I can only make sense of this if (a)the Indian effect "works" (in the short-run at least)and he threatens to withdraw from "unresponsive" countries, putting pressure on local TMmers to cough up more money or else.. or (b)it "doesn't work", and the withdrawal from vipers of various sorts becomes a justification for converting assets into cash and funnelling them back to India (and his family). Maybe blasphemous for some, but just another hypothesis - akin to others posted here on whether he is a messiah/God; enlightened Brahma consciousness saint incapable of putting a foot wrong; ditto but with a "relativity/cultural" handicap he, as others, can't possibly shake off; or whatever - fraud, sex maniac etc.. If like me you have older relatives, you will have noticed how they go ahead with vital decisions that are completely off-beam, because they still believe to be in full possession of their faculties, when they are not.. personally, I think it's just old age! He is NOT the same MMY of old.. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "jim_flanegin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks! beautiful story! > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Ingegerd" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > MMY used to come to Norway and lead summercourses in teh beginning > of > > his Movement.
