I don't believe this group exists. No one on this board that I have read is this naive. You say that people should be treated like adults and yet you presume there is a group of childish minds here. > > But lately even this is not enough, because even > though these folks have tried their best never to > hear anything that disturbs their fantasies, No offense meant, but I have seen you make up a couple of fantasies recently, so those who don't want their fantasies disturbed is not the exclusive club you are imagining it to be. You stated recently that I was angry and fearful of powerful words, curse words, until proven incorrect (my post #99488), and then went on to say that the reason I thought a cautious approach to TM was due to repetition of this value by Maharishi. Also wrong (my 20 years of training have formed that opinion of mine). I think you are probably a cool guy, and we'd enjoy a bottle of wine together if in the same place. However, your tendency to believe in this large amorphous group of True Believers out there somewhere, who are all fearful and angry about the Shining Truth seems kind of compulsive to me. As I said yesterday, I believe that everyone who joins a spiritual movement goes through initial phases of brainwashing, proselytizing, working for the organization, disillusionment, etc. Its a natural part of spiritual maturity. Continuing to harp about those who may not have torn down all of their illusions about the TMO and Maharishi may be a helpful exercise for you, but I seriously doubt many of those folks hang out here. Even if there are a couple lurking, how much credence do you think they are giving an ex Rama, ex TM teacher who calls them angry and fearful? they've > heard enough that even they don't claim to support > the TMO and Maharishi any more.
