Excellent Logan. Maharishi is like the TM mantra which having gone to finer and finer levels, of an admixture of the discursive and purely cognitive minds must now himself be transcended. I would guess that the last shed skin of the snake will be the most colorful one. And it is good thinking of yours to wish to keep the snake itself alive, rather than get stuck worshipping some skin. ----- Original Message ----- From: mike scozzari To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 11:57 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Ideas for independent teachers I've been reading posts forwarded to me from members of FFL for a few months and decided to join. The subject of independent teaching of TM is of interest to me and I have given it considerable thought. I've taught TM for years and can't imagine denying this practice to someone who can't afford the high fees. I consider TM to be of great value and I agree with the majority of posts about the new and uncomfortable direction the TMO is taking. I think this 'hostile take-over' and recertification puts all the good work of the past 40+ years at risk of being lost and discredited. In the future I'd like to introduce a few ideas that might challenge the TMO both legally and for independents everywhere. If the majority of teachers were to take steps now we might be able to keep the teaching alive. On a positive note I think we have a very strong case for independents who want to teach. I'm not a lawyer but have been in consultation with a few. Logan Parker Why worry about what someone will think if you teach them meditation? Whats it for anyway? Just to make money? Charging money for spiritual teaching is completely outside the Sanatana Dharma Go to Jyotir Math. There are no fees for anything. Guru Dev never charged anything, Giving, from your heart is dakshina. Charging money is a business deal. TM is a great technique for getting a person a good solid foundation for spiritual growth, but it is only a piece of he puzzle. Peace Palaces, World Plan, Cities of the Immortals, $2500, Million dollar courses. Give me a break already. Why would someone get re certified? Are they lining up in your town to start meditation? Or are you going to get booted out of a dying organization that has been sticking it to you for decades? Wake up.!!!! If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it is probably a duck. steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
