Interestingly, you have said that to me before. The Cathars believed in reincarnation; the Dominicans did not. Given the span of time it took the Inquisitors to eliminate the Cathars completely (and the short lifetimes compared to now), it was common for the same Inquisitor to torment the same "heretic" in several different lifetimes. We tried to tell you *then* that you were caught in an ugly cycle, but you didn't learn then, either. I'll drop the subject, since it clearly makes you uncomfortable, but there is a *great deal* to be learned about the TMO by reading up on the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. In *one* generation Maharishi has allowed his message to become all but lost in service of the creation of and preservation of the organization that was formed to spread it. It was the same thing in medieval times with the Roman Church -- they lived to fleece the flocks of as much as they could, to create hierarchies upon hierarchies in which they could interact with each other and consider themselves better than the lay people, and they liked to dress up in fancy costumes. :-) More seriously, this *always* happens when a spiritual group makes the mistake of believing that it has to "protect" itself. You should know this from the very foundation of Maharishi's teaching. Humans are attracted to that which *attracts*. They are *not* attracted to that which attempts to compel them to flock to it. Big "peace palaces" full of fearful, unhappy people are not going to attract people any more than huge cathedrals full of fearful, unhappy people did. For every "heretic" you "make an example of" and drive away, you drive away 20 others who look at what you're doing and under- stand immediately what you do not, that such an act is an expression of fear and darkness, not joy and light. We keep trying to tell you this stuff, incar- nation after incarnation, and you keep consider- ing us your enemies for pointing out the obvious and trying to *help* you. The way to spread TM is for people to see smiles on the faces of its practitioners and joy in their lives and thus to want to find out what they're doing that allows them to live that way. But instead you show them faces full of fear and anger and elitism, and you wonder why no one flocks to the courses. I live in the south of France because I wanted to fully understand the lessons of this particular kind of conflict and get beyond it. You, however, seem to want to perpetuate it forever. How sad.
