Right, personal attack instead of reasoned argument, the currency of the tourettes troll.
You want a cut and paste endurance contest? Cool "nablusoss1008 is an internet troll who spends his time flinging verbal feces at any person who dares challenge his strange beliefs in a range of oddities including crop circles as evidence of aliens, his millionaire guru's divinity and infallibility, and the emergence of a "world teacher" who chooses to channel his messages through an odd little British fellow: "Creme says he was first contacted telepathically by his Master in January 1959, who asked him to make tape recordings of his messages to Creme." Creme is famous for continuing to claim that the Lord Maitreya will address everyone on TV real soon, any day now, any minute, right behind you, right now, really. Nalusoss 1008 is the last remaining person on earth who actually believes that Creme is in touch with someone other than his own accountant who is said to be the brains behind the outrageous, unsubstantiated, preposterous claim factory."

Your strategy of distraction doesn't work any more, I am done with that topic and have moved on. Come up with something smart and interesting to show how wrong I am, put in a little effort like Lawson who has made interesting points I disagree with.In other words how about you showing that you have gained a modicum of development from the programs you love so much and get off the repeated word flood tactic. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : What I wonder about is why anyone would take seriously a clown who's life is begging for pity and a few dollars on street-corners. The reason why he lash out now is because someone dared challenge his grandiose notion that the noise he creates is "art" simply because someone foolishly and out of pity actually pay him something.

I have, and the thing that clearly distinguishes Maharishi's response, from that of someone suffering from dementia, is that Maharishi, despite some irritability, retains his focus. The same cannot be said of nursing home patients, with dementia. Quite a stretch, from you, with a little cherry-picked "evidence" as garnish. Seems very similar to the sort of things you have been accusing Nabby of lately, doesn't it? I guess fairness only counts, when *you* are the target. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote : I was struck by the posted interview between the Aussie and the Maharishi through closed circuit TV where Maharishi was unable to field a question about whether or not he could actually fly by going into "you kids get off of my lawn" mode.

He was not well. This observation only matters because at the heart of a lot of the premises in TM is that the state of consciousness in enlightenment transcends the functioning of the brain. This is the premise on which we have claims about witnessing deep sleep for example, and all the conjectural nonsense surrounding what happens after a "conscious" enlightened death. It is stated in different ways as a premise underneath many claims about how a person functions in enlightenment. We saw Maharishi, who in his salad days would have gigglingly swatted away such a direct question calling him on an outrageous claim, completely flummoxed and left with a broom in his hand chasing the local scamps out of his rutabaga patch. How can it be that "consciousness development" can have an effect on the person after their brain stops functioning and rots, when it couldn't even weather the storm of old age for the supposedly most developed person, Maharishi himself? Apparently consciousness development has the same impact as imagination development when it comes to being able to resist the ravages of age. Brain functioning trumps all imagination of it being otherwise. And the difference between Maharishi in old age and my own father can only be seen clearly in the zeros in their bank accounts.
