The following post is Turq taking advantage of a power outage at work that disallows any work to have some fun. Be warned. :-)
Since both Jim and Ravi seem to be having some trouble understanding why some here don't quite buy their claims of egolessness and enlightenment, I just thought I'd 1) provide a short quote from Maharishi on the subject of the speech of the enlightened, and 2) go back to look at only the first few words (the ones that appear in Yahoo's Message View) of a few of the 64 posts they made during the first 30 hours of this FFL posting week, during which they were indulging in a bit of a "feeding frenzy" by dissing other FFL posters, all of whom are coincidentally often described by Judy Stein as "TM critics" or "anti-TMers," and all of whom (again coincidentally) are among the most highly-placed on her own personal Enemies List and subjects of her own "sweet speech." Naturally, I will not include any of Judy's own language from the 24 posts she made during the this "feeding frenzy" period, even though some of it is of the same ilk, because after all, she has never made any claims of being enlightened. Nor have any of the TM critics being talked about so sweetly below. Jim and Ravi, on the other hand, both claim to be enlightened. You decide. >From Maharishi's The Science of Being and Art of Living: "For speech to be harmonious, appropriate and suitable, thinking has to be clear, sharp, and at the least, harmless -- and at the best, life-supporting to the whole of the environment. ... This is the technique of the art of speaking: that, although we are truthful in our thinking and speaking, the words that come out must be pleasing, soft, and of good quality. ... The habit of speaking pleasingly lies in cultivating that nature, that politeness, that softness and kindness of heart that will not at any time produce harshness of speech. ... Blessed are they who speak sweet words." Quotes by Sri Sri Jim Flanegin (whynotnow7@...): Re Turq: "Turq, you must be wetting your pants with excitement - Curtis is back and Judy is about to be!!! Do they have Depends (adult diapers) in Amsterdam?" Re Turq: "Turq just cannot deal with the fact that adults allow themselves to post at any time in a 24 hour day."

(posted at 2:42 AM his time) Re Turq: "Paleeze respond to this guy Judy! He is practically begging you - he needs the sharp crack of your crop on his exposed buttocks - lives for it..."

LOL - Seems as translucent as toilet tissue to me, but others may have bought..."

Its quite obvious..." Re Turq, et al: "He can't, he knows there is something but he didn't get it when the Guru was alive. Now he feels like a jilted lover - pathetic retards - Barry, Curtis and now..." Re Turq: "...pussies are just not tolerated here, learn from Barry. Take your shit elsewhere..." Re Mike: "...shutdown your whorehouse(blogs attacking Gurus) and go home to your beloved(Self)" Re Mike: "Let go of the mental masturbation, just feel and you will know why I called him a pussy..." Re Joe: "No Joeyji I'm drunk on the bottle of divine Vodka that my divine mother gave me. I'm hanging out at the FFL Pub ready to engage in a brawl." Re Mike: "...the mental masturbation, just feel and you will know why I called him a pussy." (posted at 3:32 AM his time) Re Vaj: "LOL.. His whore Vakrabuddhi's really not giving him anything tonight. He could have easily chosen to make eternal love to his beloved but he would rather whore..."
