Defining the 'Neganauts', I was asked on the street recently to define a 'neganaut'. The N Korean writer quoted in that BBC article says it pretty good for our purposes here: someone, a NEGANAUT is “engrossed in such [anti-TM] factional acts as dreaming different dreams and involving himself in double-dealing behind the scenes.” You bet, damned ignorant 'bush-whackers' from another era. -Buck yep locally different people have been escorted from the movement too in various ways for various reasons. In Vlodrop around Maharishi it was said any neganaut hinting or talking the wrong way would find their bags packed for them at the door. I met an old movement meditator the other day who was escorted to the door for embarrassing the administration a long time ago. Any group can expect order and discipline from its members if they want to belong. No one said due process of law is fair in every culture. anartaxius@...> wrote:
Our Michael Jackson, I think, still seems to feel the sting of having been purged. His situation was less amenable as he was actively trying to stay out of the dome for health reasons. Although things may have changed from years back, I have heard of ways people managed to stay out of the dome using subterfuge. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: People out in the world ask me on occasion what is going on in meditating FF? The example of state run communism I feel gives a good vision of how it works. A narrow administrative top and a wide organizational chart that flows out to the elements of TM. TM is now run a lot by committee work of people within elements of the flow chart. The by-laws of how it works are not clear from the outside, sort of like state-run communalism in red china or north korea. -Buck ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: dramatic images show being escorted from a party session by uniformed guards. Analysts say such a public dismissal is unique and could signal a wider purge.

"Ideologically sick and extremely idle and easy-going, he used drugs and squandered currency at casinos while he was receiving medical treatment in a foreign country under the care of the party," the report said. It added that he had "improper relations" with several women and "was wined and dined at back parlours of deluxe restaurants".

News of his dismissal filtered out last week along with reports that two of his close aides had been executed for corruption.
