I'm not buying this.
I think that blaming things on "Wright and his gang" is a way of shifting blame
away from the real truth, which is that the people doing this kind of
complaining (mainly Buck and Feste) simply don't have any spiritual experiences
TO write. They petered out long ago.
Unable to admit that, they point fingers and say, "It's all because of him that
I don't feel comfortable writing about my spiritual experiences," when the
truth is more likely, "I don't have any spiritual experiences to write about."
In fact, here's a challenge that I suspect will indicate how correct this
assessment is.
I challenge Feste, Buck, Emily, Seventhray, and all the others who seem to live
for Dumping On Barry these days to post a link to the last post *they* made to
Fairfield Life that discussed a spiritual experience that they've actually had,
and more recently than the last time they saw Maharishi.
I'd be willing to bet that none of them will take me up on this challenge
because it would be too embarrassing for them to do so.
In case you missed it, I"m suggesting that bitching about someone you don't
like and claiming that *they're* the reason you don't post about all your
tremendous spiritual experiences is a way of hiding the fact that all you're
really capable of IS bitching, and that you don't actually HAVE any spiritual
experiences to write about.
It's really easy to prove me wrong. Just post the URLs to all of the posts
you've written detailing your spiritual experiences. Or write a new one. I'm
betting that none of you will (or even can) do either.

Wright and his little gang of clever and abusive cynics have pretty much
killed this group off. The January post count was the lowest for eleven
years—since February 2004. It is not a pleasant, respectful environment here,
and any account by anyone of a spiritual experience is likely to meet the same
contemptuous response by the resident know-it-alls. If Jesus Christ started
posting here he would be dismissed as a charlatan.

What cynics you two are! I found his article rather sweet. It's good to see
someone keeping the faith.
We're not ultimately in opposition: some have to explore altered states of
consciousness while others have to remain grounded, keep their critical
faculties intact and point out possible objections. From that interplay we
advance into the future.
Your cynicism may finally prove justified but at least he has a dream. Sadly,
most dreamers turn out to be pipe dreamers. I'm hoping he turns out to be on to
something.

This should really be framed as an example of "What TM does to the mind."
After decades of practice, it's caused a Ph.D. to use 1,626 words to describe a
phenomenon that could easily have been described in two ("placebo effect") or
at most four ("monkey see, monkey do").
I think his next study should be on the perils of unimportant people having
been told for decades how important they are.

Wow, he actually had an experience! Prolly makes it all worthwhile for him.
I guess there must be a paper on neurological seratonin correlations with
subjective experiences on the way?
