The movement changed about the time Jerry Jarvis started the SIMS - before that the movement was different in the USA. That's about the time they put people like the two Barrys in charge of coordinating the movement and initiating. When some of the punks came back from the TTC they thought the universe revolved around them. Go figure. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote :
After the AE courses. Almost all of the participants on these courses were from SIMS and the TMO in Europe, mostly young kids who had no idea what thie purpose was in lSome teachers came back and assumed being "TM Gestapo". Some of the SIMS teachers never changed, as can be seen by what they are now posting to FFL - they are still posing as spiritual teachers, trying to tell people what to do and think, based on their own opinions; blaming their guru for their failure to obtain enlightenment in 5-7 years. They tried to turn TM practice into a religion with the Maharishi as their God. Most of them were very mediocre souls probably lifetimes away from attaining any permanent state of enlightenment. Non sequitur. They were rude and mean to other teachers and made pronouncement as if they had a stick up their butt. Non sequitur. That's when folks started fleeing elsewhere. Non sequitur. Sorta reminds me of the "Wayward Pines" trailer I just posted. Non sequitur. On 04/12/2015 12:56 PM, dhamiltony2k5@... mailto:dhamiltony2k5@...

To take a year off college and go to a 3-month TM TTC in 1972 required a great lack of obedience, compliance, conformity, discipline and adherence; and a great abundance of authenticity, self-direction, self-expression, appreciation of diversity, critical analysis, and playfulness. When did we change?” ..when did the movement change?
