This posting of Ken's is just one more piece of evidence that convinces me that all of MMY's crazy schemes over the past 25 years have one purpose and one purpose only: to convince each and every TBer to stop believing in gurus and blindly following them. What better evidence that TM is for independent thinkers and doers? And that if you insist upon making MMY your "guru" and blindly following him and subscribing to all the nutty things that come out of the TMO that disaster awaits you? > > -- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > on 8/18/05 2:10 AM, sparaig at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >> > > >> Has Maharishi kept all his promises?
