Hi Michael! We were tucked-away in Central & South Florida, usA. I still figure that TM-ism should've waited until someone(s) could actually hop into a hover-pattern before predicting anything about suspension of gravity, etc. The whole siddhi-thing could've been kept as a 'secret project' in ordedr to get maximum media exposure! For years, we were koo-koo about super-powers...

Yes i wuz a 'TM stormtrooper' ("Initiations by hook or by crook!") in N. America before the 108 group was invented. Back then, things were pretty much decided by regional coordinators. Unfortunately, there was no complaint-department, no ombuds-type persons, nor initiator's-union to address grievances. One recurring gripe was simply about getting advanced course-acceptance in time to catch our dam' travel arrangements. We had operated local residence courses for years, no problem. Center staffers were prompt and always nice with applicants, so they kept coming to courses -- it was easy and fun. Then a couple of 'Siddhas' arrived from Switzerland to take-over the center. After alienating most of the 'strong' meditators, and generally screwing things-up, they disappeared back to Europe. Our invincible-center closed shortly afterwards. Bye bye, boys... Surely by now, two-way communication channels are well-established and help with problems faced by teachers and administrators in the field. Recalling all this stuff today, I also remember that we didn't touch others very often. Now, research is showing that friendly human contact helps develop empathy in people. Geeze, we could've used more of that... --- On Thu, 2/21/13, Buck <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Buck <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Yer chatter is bulging my Inbox!
