Harold Bloomfield did. As you can possibly tell, I have a bone or two to pick with him. Back in L.A. when I worked for the TMO Regional Office, I unfortunately had to interact with him often. He was one of the TM poster boys, having written a book on TM, followed up by a successful diet book. Only trouble was that he was by far the biggest egomaniac I had ever run into in the TMO. Think about that statement, given the TMO assholes *you've* run into. :-) I knew he was an irredeemable slimeball long before he got arrested for being one because a friend of mine, a female initiator, went to him for medical advice. Too busy being a famous L.A. diet doctor, or too busy being an egomaniac, or for whatever reason, he prescribed the wrong medication for her. That night she started having heart palpitations and her roommates convinced her to go to the emergency room. There, they checked the medication and told her that if she had waited until morning, as she had wanted to, she'd have died. The doctors in the ER told her that she should sue the pants off of Bloomfield, and offered to testify for her. But Harold got to her first. He first tried to talk her out of filing a medical malpractice suit by telling her it would reflect badly on Maharishi and on TM. When that didn't seem to work, he told her that if she filed the suit he would use his influence with Maharishi to make sure she never went on another course. She dropped the idea of suing him. So when the name Harold Bloomfield comes up, yes, I tend to see red. Guy was the biggest slimeball I've ever met. I was not in the least surprised when he was later arrested for slipping his female patients roofies and raping or near- raping them. The saddest part is that they let him off with- out any prison time. I would have loved to have seen him gangraped by his fellow inmates, without the roofie foreplay. That would have better suited my notion of karma. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, merudanda no_reply@ wrote: > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" <dhamiltony2k5@> > wrote: > > > > It seems a very sad thing that they can't even see what > > > > they are doing.
