Oh, I thought you just used bashing the deceased Maharishi and his organization as an outlet for your apparently infinite frustrations. Now you have enlightened us, that your true purpose here on FFL is purely altrustic, to SET US FREE! It almost makes me weep with joy that you, the Turq, would graciously and compassionately openly give of your time, endlessly, unceasing and more than generously, so that we may one day see the light!! Teachers aren't necessary? OMG!!!
PS You spent a LOT more of YOUR life with teachers than I ever did. Just because you are hung up on this doesn't mean we all are. Please take your hero fantasies elsewhere Turq. If, on the other hand, you want to talk about stuff one on one with the rest of us, feel free to do so. As for the salvation delusion you have, sorry, but that's all it is. :-) --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" <steve.sundur@> wrote: > > > > > > I gotta say Barry, that I find it odd that so much of what > > > you see, write, and observe is a reference to the TMO.
