Buck I was simply curious as to what the unofficial official position of the TMO was/is about gays - the few I knew at MIU were really afraid of being outed and dismissed from MIU based apparently on treatment and events that had taken place among the TMO in Canada. The people I talked to at the time all said the Movement frowned on gays, thought it made the TMO look bad and that unofficially the Big M was down on homosexuality, so being that there are a lot of old timers here on FFL, I wondered if they knew anything about it.
You seem to be afraid that yet another aspect of the seamy underbelly of the movement will come out, you know like the Movement keeping files on meditators in the Fairfield community, eveybody s'posed to be celibate or they won't get enlightened and all the other unofficial official stuff the TMO has always lived by? So I am curious if the TMO has had an unofficial policy of meditation for everyone (but no gays in our Global Country of World Peace, please) or were the gays at MIU just being paranoid? By the way what in the world do you think is revolutionary about Maha saying everyone should meditate? I haven't seen any other meditation teachers saying "No, just a few folks should do our meditation." All meditation teachers of all kinds think everyone should meditate. There is not one thing revolutionary about that - besides everyone doing TM would have been good for Maha's bank account. No surprise there. ________________________________ From: Buck <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 9:00 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Same Sex Marriage Is a Crime Against Humanity You know, the extraordinarily revolutionary thing about Maharishi's teaching is that it says that everyone should meditate. Not just should but must for very sound scientific reasons. Meditation for all Regardless of politics, gender roles, even sexual orientation that this meditation and the science of meditation is the essential ingredient for all humanity moving progressively forward in their birthright. Even tea-party nuts, vegans, omnivores, atheists, Republicans and Islamicists. It is important that we not let little things get in the way of people coming together in meditation and enlightenment. -Buck in the Dome --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seekliberation" <seekliberation@...> wrote: > > During my time at MIU/MUM, the question came up in private conversations. > Open discussion about homosexuality never came up in class; anything > controversial was never to be talked about in class. > > But in private conversation, it was agreed upon by most that homsexuality was > bad for evolution, according to Vedic Science.
