Well if you want your counterargument to rise above "you are a poopy pants" level intellectually Buck, you need to show us what you disagree with. Calling me a skeptic is a compliment concerning noticing bad reasons to support outrageous beliefs. John Hegelin is just as much of a skeptic about George as I am so you can also apply your reasoning to the heads of the movement.
But as far as George being "fine", you can't have it both ways. Either he talked to Maharishi and Guru Dev from beyond the grave or he didn't. If you believe he did, then you need to discard much of Maharishi's central teaching. I will make a list after my shows today of all the things you need to accept Maharishi was wrong about if you take George at his word. Here is a little teaser. If you don't transcend to the absolute in TM, only you own mind, you can say buh by to your beloved Maharish effect of the domes. In fact the sidhis themselves were just something Maharishi was trying out, and not important for self knowledge, so no more world peace through smelling other people's stinky feet in the dome twice a day. Maharishi was wrong about that as he found out when he died and didn't merge with the absolute. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Om Jeez, You skeptical guys are so in the small mind and ignorant of these things it is pathetic. George Hammond is quite okay. -Buck in the Dome In FairfieldLife at Yahoo-groups it was written: ..that Hammond seemed 'fragile', might be a telling point. IMO, Hammond is delusional. It's apparent that he likes the TM movement and its tradition to the point of believing that he was once Bhrigu. He appears to be synthesizing his knowledge of the various religions and philosophies and came to the conclusion that he was once involved with the leading figures of these religions in his previous life. I'm sure he believes in what he is saying. But people will realize that his stories are coming from a delusional mind. mjackson74@...> wrote : I will have to look back at the video but I believe he also claimed to have been Shankara's daddy too. At any rate whatever success he had in the relative world he's not making much of a showing now - he only seems to impress TM junkies and "I'll believe anything cuz I am a spiritual person" like Buck.

He also claimed that Maharishi sat on a dais with two people on his right and left to imitate his father, himself. He told us that before he revealed who he was. Oddly he said that Maharishi was instructing him to do it. It is odd to me cuz I would think that as a former Brighu he should be able to make such decisions for himself, right? He had been Plato and a disciple of Jesus and he still needed daddy Maharishi's permission? That part was a bit slippery as if he was offloading the responsibility for making such an outrageous claim onto Maharishi. "The guru made me do it!" (Said in Flip Wilson's Laugh In voice!) Shankara was the incarnation of Vyasa who wrote lots of the Vedic literature including the Gita. In Hinduism, Veda Vyasa was considered to be part Vishnu with Krishna being all Vishnu all the time. But I don't think we can begrudge the guy his success. He made a bundle of cash as a lawyer and he has a hobby, being whatever it was he was laying down. It shows how complicated people are and how really energetic driven people can kick ass in business, while not being exactly consistent through their whole personality. Also think of the hutzpa this guy could direct for his own gain. It doesn't surprise me that he kinda believed in himself a little throughout his career. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : how successful can he be when he is in essence claiming to be the spiritual father of the whole TM Movement and the so called holy tradition from whence TM supposedly came by being Shankara's daddy in the ancient times? Talk about wanting attention - man oh man. His sister's passing seems to have unhinged him. From: "wayback71@...

Books on Andrew the Apostle, Pythagorus, Plato, God, physics, He has been super interested in all this for years. Gives speeches. Sounds like a very successful and smart man with interesting interests.
