Thanks for verifying the triplets MMY story Nabbie, I was just guessing. What course was that on?
I am curious about this arbitrary fixation on his deadness. I thought you guys believed that he is still with us somewhere between Marley's ghost and the thought in meditation that inspires the marketing crew to try some new scheme to get TM into the lives beyond the 687 people who still practice it exclusively now. So you think a guy like Maharishi actually dies? And how do you imagine my "bashing" affects him? Is it like a disturbance in sleep like when someone in the bed farts and we almost wake up and then turn over? Or does it really get to him, do my words cause him to gnash his teeth and pound his fist into his hands in a Sienfeldesque "CURTIS!" Does he shake his fist at the sky like Jon Stewart and curse me from beyond the grave? Does he try to extract retribution on me in this world to get me back in some way like moving a chair when I sleep so I stub my toe during a mid-sleep groggy bathroom run? Exactly how pissed do my words make this spirit of Maharishi you imagine? Should I invest in a voodoo doll of him to avoid his evil eye? Now of course if your point was that when I posted the same perspective when he was alive he had a chance to challenge what I said directly, I would agree. I think we are both glad that he took so many opportunities to give his side here while he was living, and I do miss those exchanges. And how far does this ban about speaking ill of the dead extend Nabbie. Do we include Napoleon, Sun Myng Moon, John Lennon? What is the key aspect of the unfairness you seem to resent about it all? What if we have a public figure who is so boring that he might as well be dead like King Tony? Do I have to include him in the don't speak about the dead ban. Should we just ban all histories of famous dead people if the perspective isn't only positive? Or was this whole thing just a protective instinct, misguided though I believe it to be, to protect the magical illusions he tried to sell us all about himself during his life? Oh shit I have a fleck of dust in my eye...hey wait a minute...wasn't he a pile of dust the last time we saw him... --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <no_reply@...> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > Who would wish > that on anybody? > > > Ravi was right ofcourse, it didn't take long before the hillbilly-singer was > back where he left us last time and where he's feeling most comfortable: > Maharishi-bashing. > If all else fails in life it's great to have someone to bash, particularily > someone who's dead, don't you think ? >
