Thanks I appreciate your saying this. I just like honesty, that's all - if the TMO came clean owned up to all the things the things they do, openly and honestly, I wouldn't have a word to say.

Michael, I read the website and your comments and I thought, like virtually all of your writing here at FFL, that you state you case and your experiences with utmost clarity and lack of reaction. I appreciate who you are and where you're coming from to the extent that I can without really knowing you. Carry on, you are simply speaking of your perceptions and conclusions and experiences in a way which I find intelligent and worth considering. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Michael Jackson <mjackson74@...> wrote: > > Whether you and other TM apologists like it or not, if you want the general > public to dote on TM like you do, you are going to have to deal with the > baggage the Movement has generated for nearly 60 years - you can't expect > this info to be taken in a vacuum - as in pay attention to what we tell you > to pay attention to, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. > > I don't rant - I want people to have the full picture, not the limited > information the TM Movement puts out - then people can make their own > decision - but people are entitled to full disclosure, full information and > you know damn good and well full disclosure is one thing the TM folks are not > willing to give most of the time. > > When you deal with esoteric notions there is the notion of karma or > unresolved energy that people create individually and collectively - if you > want more people to do TM you are going to have to deal openly and > forthrightly with the energy of unpleasant and unconscionable behavior the TM > Movement has created and perpetuated.
