Peter, you are asking why I continue speak out about MMY and his teachings.
The answer is remarkably simple. Having learned TM I decided to practice it come-what-may, for at least ten years, to see how it measured up to its claims. I decided to let the time run longer, and longer, and longer. (In fact I even vowed to continue its practise even if MMY disavowed the teaching.) I put the together 'The Maharishi: The Man Who Gave Transcendental Meditation to the World', and as Vaj rightly says, it is the only objective biography of the man and his teaching extant. But I didn't stop researching the Maharishi, TM and his master, I kept up the project for much longer, and I have shared much of the Guru Dev translation work free-of-charge on my website http://www.paulmason.info/ . I kept practising the TM technique more many more years after the publication. But after more than three and a half decades it struck me it was about time I actually decided it was time to come to some sort of verdict, about TM and about MMY. Since I am recognised as an authority on the subject (at least by those honest enough to admit it) I thought I'd share my verdict. I posted this on TM-Free Blog a few days ago. But afterwards I realised that there must still be great many people who still don't even have the basic points. I notice you don't attempt to correct me on any point raised in the blog. That is interesting, very interesting Finally, the suggestion that I get on and attend to my own life. Well, as it happens, I most certainly do (which is the main reason I seldom log on to the TM forums. But, as it happens I consider that sharing the enormous amount of research on the MMY is a part of attending to my life. It would be all too convenient for those who just want to hear sweet truths if I were to be quiet. You have your views on MMY, I have never once tried to silence you or anyone else on the subject. I have never suggested that you go and attend to your life. It seems the truth has got you just a tad mad at me, just a tad. But as another responent pointed out to someone else, don't shoot the messenger or in your case encourage the messenger to turn his attention to something else. It sounds just a bit like that bit in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy and Toto were told to ignore 'the Man Behind The Curtain'. Paul PS To the so-called supports of the Maharishi and of TM, on FFL, don't convince me much, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy sparring and being unpleasant to one another, and to those you perceive as threats. Is that what practising TM impels you to do? It never did that to me, that's for sure. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I "love" the question and answer format.
