Good point, Sir Kirk, for 1,800 years in Europe, people were not allowed to read the Bible. Only the priest could own a Bible.! Anybody found possessing a Bible had his head cut off. Translating the Bible from Latin to common languages was banned, punishable by death.! What I meant is this, TM is pure Vedanta. It's a tool for trancending. YF is just a Yoga exercise. Hindu philosophy clearly states that siddhis are by-products that come on it's own. They should not be attempted by anyone at any cost. If you attempt siddhi it will result only in failure.!! This is why Siddhis are very rare phenomenon. You don't get real siddhis by dropping sutras.! These TM-siddhi Courses are McSiddhis completely contrary to the teachings of Hindu philosophy. This is why all Spiritual schools and traditions don't discuss or publicise or make any claims about it.! In fact the mechanics of YF is complete opposite to that of TM.!

Only the last hundred years could people many places even speak their beliefs let alone live them, not to speak of lack of great teachers. Now, there are really great teachers around. We have broken through the ignorance barrier as a race. Now, to start living what we have made aspirations to. Having sidhis is not a bad thing if people are able to make that choice. people everywhere aspire to the greater. Somebody has to prove it can be done. Why not MMY. I mean, he was surprised the sidhis didn't work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Spock Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 1:23 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Some Movements The TM-org should go back to what it does best, ie teach TM. They have completely lost focus of that mission. The TM-org lacks compassion. Had it been a little compassionate and treated it's members as family, it would not have created so many enemies. The TM-org is also become arrogant. Exc. Bevan tells Farook that getting invited to the MUM is a privilege.!! Traditional Vedanta states that siddhis are by-products that come on its own and should not be attempted at any cost. Siddhis also should not be disclosed at any cost. The TM-org has made a huge mistake by Mc-marketing pseudo TM-siddhis and YF which runs completely contrary to the spiritual ethics. The TM-org has mass produced thousands of half-baked TM-tutors and made them practice these 'so-called siddhis' even though they are Unenlightened. !! If the TM-org has any serious intention of bringing peace to the world by ME effect, then it should scrap off all these unnecessary programs and concentrate purely on TM. --------------------------------- Sponsored Link Degrees for working adults in as fast as 1 year.
