I
read all of those things letters websites you name it.. Yet I can
say that Earl has been an odd ball his whole life. ( so have I) Figure I
have known Earl and David since we were kids. With all the
money they have and their parents have spent with Maharishi I would take
it that they just did not understand that it was just time to move
on.
You
expect him to be what we are not. You expect some perfection that
does not exist anywhere. The perfection of Maharishi is that
he came and opened the west to things that have greatly changed the world
we live in. I feel for the better. We should be blessed
to be in the pressence of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi if for no other reason he
gives a lot to talk about.
Have
you ever noticed that people who are the most successful are also the most
contraversial. Someone once said that the more people talk
about you, the more you should smile let them talk until you become a
household name. Then you will know that you are a
success. Well Maharishi has been a success over and over
again. I knew David and Earl I think I went
to David's first wedding, I really liked them both because I
could not always tell the difference. They both stayed on courses
and also stayed in deep water. Some would say they were
contraversial, because they had a tendancy to think they could show up at
school anytime and be allowed to attend.
Imagine
if they never meditated. Imagine if there was no tm, no punditji, no
MIU, just plain old Christianity. Imagine if you thought and
acted just like George Bush. Imagine a world where by now we would
be in an all out nuclear war. This is life
without Maharishi. I need to write this one for me.
People can say whatever but he had the balls and the vision to come out to
bring whatever it is he brought to the world.
I
admire people with courage. I have courage because of
Maharishi. In that way Maharishi really messed me up. He
allowed me to develop courage, strength inner motivation and vision.
He created tune up programs for people who get burnt out in the
field. I understand that experience. It takes great
effort and sacrifice to make major impact. Even one may fail or
succeed this doesn't really have anything to do with it.
Impact is felt in the effort. Every action has an effect on world
consciousness, a thought introduced by Einstein yet demonstrated by
Maharishi. If not for Maharishi I do not know if Einstein
would be understood.
As
for me I can tell you that it takes a lot to be a Maharishi.
There are people who think that if he shits he is not a true
rishi. I have seen a small glimpse of what
happens. I have seen what it is like to hear people Oh ______
is so sweet so wonderful when he is on top. Then when an eb
comes he is a crook, a liar a thief, a child molester, a
rapist. I was once at Agape church in California and a guy who
thought of himself as a psychic was telling people all he knew about
me.
He
told them that I raped women at MIU. That I busted into their rooms
and raped them. I LOUIS THOMAS MCKENZIE have never in my life forced
a woman, to have sex if she did not want to. At MIU I had very
little sex. Yet this guy was an expert on me, not just me
anyone African American who had been somewhat popular in the TM/Art
of living circles.. He caused a lot of negativity. But I
thought he was the most stupid pretender on the planet.
Another time I was with a bigot who pretended to be psychic in greece, in
a restaurant. She says watch your purses everyone Louis might steal
one. I thought what a stupid person. People do and say
all kinds of things reflective of who they think
they are. As a person of color people are even more apt
to believe the bull than one of non color. Michael Jackson is
a child molester no matter what the jury voted, OJ Simpson is a murderor,
Nelson Mandela is not a great leader but a killer as one 15 year old south
african brazilian white skinned girl told me.
In
the end Maharish might end up living in a cave penniless and with not one
follower. Thank God he may not live that long. But this is
just what happens. Loyalty is as good as one's ability to keep
you loyal. I was in greece for an LRT related
program. As my life goes I was doing something that I did not
have the money to do. The program was expensive. I got myself
and two others through it. Yet what people chose to talk about was
that I might steal because I said that when I was a child I stole from my
uncle's money cabinet.
If
I could have 1/1000th of the positive impact Maharishi has had on the
planet I would be happy. Yet I guess you may say he screwed me
up becuase I wont stop until I do. Looking to see what more
can I do to serve humanity to make a difference for someone
else. This is what I have gotten from MMY. Why not make
it a phenomenon if that will make people do it?
The
question is where do I want to be. I could sit here and talk
about how life sucks, this or that is a complete rip off but what is the
point? I am out on a limb for God. I am 1000% interested
in making a contribution on the planet. One big reason I am in
brasil. A country where saying good morning as you walk down the
street is thought to be weird. Where you have people who live
in giant mansions and people who live in the streets. The numbers
are imbalanced. The only way to create balance is to balance not talk
about it or mock it. If pundits coming to the west to chant and do
programs 24 hours per day, can assist in makinf a better world, then
let them begin.
If
it will help why not create a large facility where pundits of various
religions come together to do the same. Yet that to me is not
enough. Guys like David and Earl should be out creating their
own enlightenment villages. Utilizing the alternative
resources that are now available. This is great use of the
mind. Not simply by building expensive Stapatya ved houses but also
providing for those who are not as fortunate. Madonna has
helped to build an orphange and adopted one child. I have adopted
children. If I can change one life. Maybe I can not
change millions of lives but one, maybe that one will do five, and if we
are lucky maybe someone else will do the same, and another and another and
then maybe, just maybe we can change the world.
Every
minute I ask my self am I doing all that I can to make positive
change. If the answer is no then I go within and make a
shift. In Brasil education is low on the hiearchy of
needs. Food is principal for many so their children go
uneducated, the parents are ileterate, the children the same and the
children's children. 80% illieteracy imagine.
Brazil in resources is one of the wealthiest countries on the
planet. The usual procedure is to come into the country make as much
money as possible from the resources and screw as many women as possible
and leave.
VERY
FEW people who come to Brasil look to make social change. If
not for the time I spent at MIU Maharishi INternational University I may
not be here, a guy planted a seed look to Brazil for future
investment. A trustee who formed an investors
club. Brazil is one of the few countries where it is
possible to take a resource and make billions. So you make
money, not enough it is what you do with it, that matters. Having
fancy cars is nice but one day, one week, one year, of a life worth living
for 1, 2, 3, 40, 50 100, 1000, 2000, as many children as possible and
wathching them go from starved to higher spectrum of the age group weight
wise. Watch young girls feel safe with themselves and their
bodies. Letting them know that they are safe and
protected., Providing housing education and medical care. Now this is
something. Making prostitution understood as an old school
error and not a form of salvation for as many young women as possible.
Allowing them to discover the possibilites of a creative mind.
The
ability to think in this manner is something that comes from being close
to someone like MMY. I have a friend, soulmate, Guru playmate
who is being considered for the nobel piece prize, for the service he
is doing around the planet. Once while on one of his courses I felt a
union that was so strong with him. Then I felt a saddness that was
even greater. Because I knew I did not need to be near him in a
physical way anymore. I knew I would not be. Within two years
things had changed. I have seen him physically one time since.
I hold my Guru within me.
Sorry
for the discourse, but I have been feeling this. Also I am
making a statement to myself and the univers a reaffirmation of
sorts. WHO AM I...... Yet what I can tell you is
to provide all of the above and not TM I have done only a portion of what
I can do. I have friends who are on this course there in
fairfield they go all the time. I envy them. Yet I love
Maharishi because instead of making enough money with some
business, going to temple with a pretty wife and shining for the
congregation to see, which he could have done, he chose to step out
and make a difference. He chose to work day and night to do
that. It was because he did that, that I am alive, never been
to prison, never been considered a homo, and never commited suicide,
these were my options in the town I grew up in. These were the
options of my cousins and a large generation of African American
men.
If
not for maharishi maybe I could be the subject with two guns.
Maybe TM philosopher course junkies ex pimps would still be pimps if not
for MMY. Maybe you would be a cowboy? GW type. You know;
how many people can you send to the electric chair? Maybe if
not for Maharishi you would weigh 400 lbs eat two steaks and a dozen eggs
for breakfast, make stinking horrible farts and stink even with
deodorant. Or even worse maybe be a cocaine freak.
Maharishi
is perfect because he is who he is. You and I are perfect to.
The problem is not in Maharishi's lack of appreciation of our
perfection. The problem is our own lack of appreciation of
ourselves. When I see my virtue I can not help but be
grateful. WHen I see my lack I understand my
resentment. WHen I see my failure I understand my blame, when
I see my success I understand my courage. When I see my love of
humanity I understand that I have been loved. More than I love
Maharishi I give thanks that Maharishi loved me.
He
showed me that love by letting me slip through the cracks.
Letting find my way from the streets of NYC to The POD OF FFIA.
Letting me round and round and round some more. Giving me
enough of a glimpse to have a small even subtle idea of the leader I could
be. I am grateful for this. Excuse the long
blah........... I needed to do this.......
