Is this the reason you troll, so that others will expose your brokenness?

Is the spiritual world this crazy for people in other groups? It can get much worse. Any time you have a group of people so lacking in real self-esteem that they gain pretty much ALL of their sense of self-worth from 1) the teacher they work with, 2) the group of people they're part of, or 3) both, you've got the potential for major craziness. They feel the need to constantly invent new myth-pedestals to put their teachers on, because they believe that the higher they can pretend their teacher is, the higher they are. Even crazier, the groups feel the need to constantly put down other groups, because they believe that if they can make these other groups appear "shorter," they'll appear "taller." Too bad it doesn't work that way.

And it was put forward by the infamous Buddhist that used to post here, Vaj. Of course it was rubbish but it comes from the same sort of place that the other rumours have, the place where Marshy has to be a superman, obviously it's more inspiring if your guru has amazing powers like walking on water. That's why they invent these stories, it makes the decision to follow him to be a more important one than just choosing a type of meditation. Divine assurance perhaps. But I don't think Vaj invented it, it was part of Earl Kaplan's letter and he got it from whatever source in India he spoke to. I felt a bit sorry for him because he got duped by one cult and ran straight into the arms of another. I hope he's got some smarts at last and realised there is no authority but yourself. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <punditster@...> wrote : On 11/17/2014 10:11 AM, Michael Jackson wrote: > I think I asked this once a long time ago, but I am posting this again if so: What was the most absurd TM rumor you ever heard? > The most absurd rumor I ever heard was on an internet discussion group. The rumor posted claimed that the Maharishi had murdered his master SBS, by poisoning his food in a conspiracy with the Jyotirmath Ashram cook. The motive apparently was for the Mahesh Yogi to get SBS's special ring and ruby-encrusted yantra. And, with a forged will, the cook would get the Shankaracharya highchair at the Upper Kashi. As far as rumors go, it is going to be difficult to top this one. > This would be something that was not part of the official TM cannon, nor any of the majorly accepted ones (like Marshy's enlightened, TM brings enlightenment or yogic flying brings world peace) I am talking about the boundless rumors we all heard on courses and in TM facilities and from TM old timers. Mine would I think have to be the idea that having animals around when you are meditating drains your energy. That one supposedly came from Marshy himself but who knows. Other than that it would be Claire Baxter's classic never meditate with your hair wet because the stress you release comes out of your crown chakra, and if your hair is wet the stress slides down your hair and goes into your lower spine. I include that one second, just because I only heard it from that one person and the animal energy drain was one I heard a lot from lots of different people. How bout yours? Most absurd TM rumor?
