************************** I think you are completely missing the point of what MMY is saying. An ignorant world cannot be transformed quickly into an enlightened world, this would create a backlash against the enlightenment effort; as MMY said in the 60s, speedy enlightenment of the world would create "fear and havoc" ( see http://geocities.com/bbrigante/retards.html#light ) So it is not relevant whether TM-promoting efforts are being done competently or not, because people are so locked into darkness that they cannot be rescued quickly from the path to hell -- it's an act of kindess on the part of the Divine Plan (this is what MMY titled his 60s writing on why enlightenment values need to be expanded slowly) that the TM movement is apparently stumbling along. Maharishi cannot employ competent people to run the TM movement, nor can he give advice that would work, because that would cause the light in the world to increase too rapidly. That is certainly a shame, but that's just the way it's got to be -- if people were not so bound to sin, it would be possible to pitch TM quickly to the world, but that simply cannot happen, and it's pointless for MMY to berate TM administrators for their ineptness, because ineptness happens to be just what the doctor ordered. MMY correctly identifies the "luck" (bad karma) of the world as being to blame, because if the world were not in such darkness, TM could be promoted quickly. Having a mere shell of a movement in the West run by Bevan and other incompetents is exactly what the world needs at the present time, as lamentable as this situation is, because the underlying problem is the darkness of the world, not the incompetence of TM marketers. Sooner or later, India will respond to MMY's call for a revival of Vedic civilization -- you should note that there have been no price increases for TM in India (even laborers can afford to start TM there), unlike the West, where the price of TM has been raised to slow down things even further. In fact, now that a few candles have been lit in the West, what goes on in the movement in the West has no relevance at all -- it's India that has to restore Vedic culture, and they have the 800 million Hindus to do just that. MMY (Aug 24th press conference): "It is just a matter of the total atmosphere which has a great influence on the individual. And the total atmosphere we are aiming at, purifying the total atmosphere. Harmony, positivity in the national consciousness of every country, in the world consciousness. Big groups, big groups. And we are finding our way to create big groups even so it is not happening so quickly. But we can attribute it to not lack of our efforts but lack of the luck of the world. We have to hide somewhere. So we hide behind the logic that it is the lack of luck of the world that it is not going so fast. There we take refuge. If it is not going fast we have a logic, it is the luck of the world." Bob Brigante http://geocities.com/bbrigante ------------------------ Yahoo!
