Heaven knows why.
Translation: *I* (meaning Nabby) have made up those things and posted them here in the past. :-) Nabby is SO predictable. Any time anyone starts to make cogent points about how low-rent the TMO and Maharishi were, he trots out his "usual suspects" -- "They're being paid to say this by the CIA or by the Dalai Lama," "They're Buddhists, jealous of Maharishi," or any number of similar fabrications. It's really amusing, and by now everyone is used to it, so I point this out only to newbies, who might not be aware that not only is Nabby yer classic cult propagandist who is willing to make up almost anything to demonize the people he considers "enemies," he's also a Class-A nutcase who believes in an even bigger charlatan than Maharishi (Benjamin Creme), the no-show "savior" named "Maitreya" that Creme has been prophesying as due "any day now" for 54 years, in little green men who Nabby calls the "Space Brothers," and in prank crop circles as the way they communicate with him. :-) > It has become some sort of trend in "spiritual" circles > to claim they were "around" Maharishi, and one supposes > the Turq hopes the people in the know from days are all > long gone. As the americans say: Go figure ! Au contraire, many of the people who knew me "back then" ARE still around, and have commented on my various positions within the TM organization. I think what Nabby is trying to say is that, unlike him, I was actually *paid* to be around Maharishi and in positions of authority in the TM movement, whereas he had to pay for that "privilege" himself by extorting money from "supporters" to pay for his life on Purusha. :-) Please list for us the positions you held within the TM movement, Nabby, and how much time you spent "around Maharishi" while fulfilling them. Were you ever, for example, a lecturer paid by the TMO to travel around to centers giving advanced lectures and residence courses, or a State Coordinator, or the person who became the Regional Coordinator whenever Stan Crowe was away on courses? Were you ever selected to be the person giving a TM intro lecture on national TV during the Merv wave? I was all of those things. :-) Someday you should learn that lashing out when your cultist attachment buttons get pushed is *not* the best way to win converts to TM? Your diatribes against Buddhism and Buddhists, all of them devoid of any experience of either on your part, and fueled only by unreasoning hatred and the things you were told about them by Maharishi (who was equally ignorant about them) have been noted by many as FFL's counter- part of Ku Klux Klan-speak. You use the word "Buddhist" the way a Klansman uses the word "Nigger." Your many attempts to get people to believe that Benny Creme is anything but a charlatan have been met with equally raised eyebrows and incredulity. You're a JOKE here, Nabby. Pretending otherwise only makes you more of one. That said, as Share might say, "Have a nice day." :-)
