On February 29th the CIA pays me overtime, so I usually post even more. Sometimes I even dump on Jesus. :-) What's fascinating is that in addition to trot- ting out the thing about me being tossed out of the TM movement (which Nabby knows is a lie because it's been countered on this forum by no less a personage than Jerry J.), he perceives what I wrote about Maharishi in this post as "against him." It's not. It's simple fact. He really *has* presented TM as "the best" since Day One of his teaching. He really *has* taught all of his TM teachers to do the same thing. He really *has* provided them with cliche put- downs to use against any other spiritual trad- ition when references to them come up in talks. And Nabby should *know* this, because he still *uses* those preprogrammed putdowns himself, on a regular basis. For example, no one else on this forum has been as hateful towards Buddhists and Buddhism as Nabby has, and will be in the future. He'll see nothing wrong with doing this, and in fact will think of it as some kind of "dharma," in which he "protects" Maharishi and TM and All Things Holy. I merely pointed out that Maharishi carefully *trained* his followers to not only preach the dogma that TM is "the best," he carefully trained them to put down any other technique or tradition that was compared to TM. That does not make him or the people who still do what he trained them to do unique; there are many in the spiritual smorgasbord who do the same thing. What makes the TM variety of these "we're the bestest" folks unique is that their training (some would call it brainwashing) was so complete that *they don't even know that they're doing it*. At this point it's just pure reaction, a kind of warped "fight or flight" response to any suggestion that a form of meditation other than TM might be either as good or more effective in some ways. Again, the strength of my position in this thread is what I presented it to be. I am not pushing or recommending (let alone selling) any spiritual tradition or technique or belief system as "the best." Nabby is. And so are a great number of other TMers. And the *most* fascinating thing about it is that almost without exception none of these people com- pulsively pushing TM as "the best" *have ever tried anything else*. And then they have the nerve to say they weren't brain- washed into doing what they do and saying what they say. Go figure. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > First, and obviously, it came from Maharishi, who proclaimed > > > TM'.... > > > > 35 years after this Barry the Turqey was kicked out of the > > TM, apparently for security reasons, and ages after he became > > a "Buddhist" he s t i l l hold grunges towards Maharishi > > and is posting against Him a minimum once every day/365 year > > after year ! > > > > What does that tell you about the quality and of his new "path" ? > > >
