[FairfieldLife] Maharishi: the press conference to end all press conferences!
Press Conference with Maharishi, JUNE 21, 2006 Maharishi: Jai Guru Dev. The press - the world press - has put me in a difficult positionion. I am busy in creating the effect. I am busy in laying out an administrative policy for every country to have a few hundred people create invincibility for the nation. But the world press demands that - this is from the long history of the Movement - weekly press conferences. Then I wish to address to the worrld press today that the success is so great that I don't have time to speak now anymore [laughter]. Whatever I have spoken has been enough fruitful that I don't have to speak now. I don't get time to speak. Now I am busy in sorting out little, little details of administrative values. Practical administrative values have to be sorted out in every country, in every country, even though the whole thing is automatic and it could go without my any advice or anything. But because it seems to be a new thing - people have been suffering, and now the voice of the time is: waves of bliss, waves of bliss, waves of bliss. So now the world press will excuse me for my success - that my success has put me on a level where I have no time to talk to anyone. I have only time to just - some missing area, some little thing. They are the practical administrative values - practical adminiistrative values for two hundred, four hundred, these people to fly together. So there is no more time to talk about the principles. Principles have been talked, have been established, have been verified by scientific research in all these years - how many years. And now there is time too structure the administrative procedures, administrative procedures, for those four hundred, five hundred, two hundred people everywhere to live in a way that they don't fall off the grace of total invincibility. So I'll be busy that way, and will not have much time to speak about it. So Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace will inform the press that I'll be busy in creating the effect, rather than talking about the possibility of it, which I have been doing so far. So speaking so far has been completely successful, and now the success is [laughter] that I don't have time to speak about the principle. I create the effect, effect, effect. And creating effect, from country to country, from country to country - from in thee first country, Holland, the country of wholeness. It is about two months that the Yogic Flyers in Holland have been creating that effect - intensive effect - of coherence and positivity in the Dutch national consciousness. And this has inspired the neighboring nations' Yogic Flyers to follow the example of Holland. And they want to create the same thing in their country, in their country. So constantly, twenty-four hours, they are asking me. They are asking me little, little things, and I am not surprised, even those little, little things - but I have to answer them. Therefore, I am on a working mood now, shifting from speaking to working, from speaking to working, from speaking to working. Now let me enjoy [laughter] for some time working. And then, I don't have even to work; I just see the bubbles of bliss, the waves of bliss, moving from country to country, from country to country, from nation to nation, from galaxy to galaxy, from galaxy to galaxy - the whole galactic universe governed by one Total Natural Law, the Will of God. That will be witnessed in every country, in every country - that administration. That administraation I am setting up in country by country. In the national consciousness of each country, growing in invincibility will prove to everyone that all kinds of positivity is growing in every country, and negativity subsiding, subsiding. And after some time, nobody would know what negativity means. Positive will be a natural, normal state of life. Success will be natural, normal state of every action. Then success will belong to every knowledge, because knowledge will be complete - Vedic knowledge will be complete - in the awareness os of everyone. So all glory to Guru Dev. We are on the waves of bliss ourselves. This is the supreme level of evolvement of life on earth. And we are proud to be belonging to that level. It's very good. So, Prime Minister, thank the world press. And thank the - this is also the succcess of the reporting of world press. Now they have been reporting all kinds of negative things, and now their pen will be reporting nice things, like that, like that, like that. So put them on a new world, and don't mind if I'm not able to speak to them. Jai Guru Dev. -- Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.

[FairfieldLife] all are invited to Holland for Guru Purnima time
Invitation to Holland for all the Governors and Sidhhas Dear Friends, This evening Maharishi gave a kind invitation for all the Governors and Yogic Flyers to come to Meru, Holland for Guru Purnima Celebration that will take place starting on the full moon day of 11 July. Governors and siddhas are advised to come one or two days earlier (on the 9th or 10th of July) if possible. However if any country can gather in their nation by Guru Purnima sufficient Yogic Flyers to create national invincibility then all the Flyers should remain there, and then Maharishi will talk to them daily from Holland by phone or video conference. The Governors and Yogic Flyers who come this time will be asked to cover the direct costs of their stay, which including hotel, food, buses etc may be approx 150 Euros per day. The length of time for the Guru Purnima Assembly is not set, it could be a week or ten days or even longer, according to each person's own planning. Maharishi would like to hear quickly how many are coming from which country, so Please let us know as soon as possible if you wish to attend the Guru Purnima celebration in Holland, and if you could contact your friends (Governors and siddhas) and get a response from them, and send us their names and projected length of stay -- that will be helpful in the planning for this Global event. In order to fulfill the invitation of Maharishi, and for those who are not able to join the assembly in Holland, every TM Center will have a group program for sidhas on the Guru Purnima day on July 11, 2006, the program will start around 6:00 all will fly at 7:00 For those who wish to go to Holland please contact your TM center or your TM teacher as soon as possible in order to get the invitation for the Visa to Holland.

--- authfriend wrote: --- Gillam wrote: --- authfriend wrote: --- Rick wrote: If ever the topic of women or sex came up, he would feign ignorance, and would encourage single guys to be celibate, like him. And you see this as hypocrisy? (Butting in) Looks that way to me. How would you interpret it, Judy? Genuinely curious. I'm not good at this sort of perception. Well, I wasn't there, obviously. But what the hell else could he say under the circumstances if he really thought the guys he was speaking to ought to be celibate for the sake of their evolution? I'm not condoning his illicit sexual behavior, given his position, but I'm not sure hypocrisy is the right term for what he told the guys. I see the nuance, and his conundrum. Given the lame nature of his relationships - maybe 30 minutes of nooky time at the end of the work day now and again - he probably didn't perceive himself as being in a relationship. I'm not trying to rationalize his behavior. I'm just assuming he was able to rationalize it himself. I had a spell some years ago when I enjoyed a cigar or two on the weekend. After about six months of this, I was looking at an insurance form that asked, Have you used any tobacco products in the past six months? If so, I had to pay the smoker's rate for insurance. At that point I realized, Oh my God. I'm a smoker. Before that, I never thought of myself as a smoker. It wasn't part of my identity. I was just enjoying a cigar or two on the weekend. Maybe Maharishi had the same delusion I did. Just as I thought I was essentially a non-smoker even as I puffed away at my La Unicas, he was able to think he was celibate when he dallying with his gopis.

Many of the them are still in Fairfield or still in to TM and are now living in the US OffWorld It may seem a lot to you, but your sense of perspective is lacking. Go to any city in the US where AOL is active and see the difference. In Houston, the overwhelming majority you see in an AOL center are Indian, usually south Indian. I'm told it's the same in other cities in Texas as well and apparently DrPete is noticing the same or something similar situation where he is. Maharishi never attracted large numbers of Indian immigrants to the TMO, not even small numbers, they were tiny or token numbers. Ask the average Initiator how many Indians he/she has initiated. It won't be many. The situation with MUM is that it is the hub of the movement and many of those Indians are probably there on scholarship to get a free or cheap education. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Hypocrisy (was Re: Maharishi's name)

And you see this as hypocrisy? (Butting in) Looks that way to me. How would you interpret it, Judy? Genuinely curious. I'm not good at this sort of perception. Well, I wasn't there, obviously. But what the hell else could he say under the circumstances if he really thought the guys he was speaking to ought to be celibate for the sake of their evolution? I'm not condoning his illicit sexual behavior, given his position, but I'm not sure hypocrisy is the right term for what he told the guys. I see the nuance, and his conundrum. Given the lame nature of his relationships - maybe 30 minutes of nooky time at the end of the work day now and again - he probably didn't perceive himself as being in a relationship. I'm not trying to rationalize his behavior. I'm just assuming he was able to rationalize it himself. I had a spell some years ago when I enjoyed a cigar or two on the weekend. After about six months of this, I was looking at an insurance form that asked, Have you used any tobacco products in the past six months? If so, I had to pay the smoker's rate for insurance. At that point I realized, Oh my God. I'm a smoker. Before that, I never thought of myself as a smoker. It wasn't part of my identity. I was just enjoying a cigar or two on the weekend. Maybe Maharishi had the same delusion I did. Just as I thought I was essentially a non-smoker even as I puffed away at my La Unicas, he was able to think he was celibate when he dallying with his gopis. Certainly possible. What I had in mind was more that, assuming he genuinely thought it would be better for their spiritual development if they stayed celibate, introducing any potential cause for confusion over that instruction (How come he can and we can't? Is he really enlightened if he isn't celibate? etc. etc.) could inhibit their development, so he was essentially telling a lie for *their* benefit. Ends justifying the means and all that, clearly a rationalization and not the ideal we'd like to see by any means, but not hypocrisy per se. I wonder how often that kind of conundrum--not just about sex but any bad habit or behavior--masters have to deal with, pretending they don't indulge in that habit or behavior because they perceive (accurately or not) that to do otherwise would confuse their followers and get in the way of their sadhana.

i.e. Maharishi's way of saying: I'm bored with these weekly press conferences and don't want to do them anymore. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, george_deforest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Press Conference with Maharishi, JUNE 21, 2006 Maharishi: Jai Guru Dev. The press - the world press - has put me in a difficult positionion. I am busy in creating the effect. I am busy in laying out an administrative policy for every country to have a few hundred people create invincibility for the nation. But the world press demands that - this is from the long history of the Movement - weekly press conferences. Then I wish to address to the worrld press today that the success is so great that I don't have time to speak now anymore [laughter]. Whatever I have spoken has been enough fruitful that I don't have to speak now. I don't get time to speak. Now I am busy in sorting out little, little details of administrative values. Practical administrative values have to be sorted out in every country, in every country, even though the whole thing is automatic and it could go without my any advice or anything. But because it seems to be a new thing - people have been suffering, and now the voice of the time is: waves of bliss, waves of bliss, waves of bliss. So now the world press will excuse me for my success - that my success has put me on a level where I have no time to talk to anyone. I have only time to just - some missing area, some little thing. They are the practical administrative values - practical adminiistrative values for two hundred, four hundred, these people to fly together. So there is no more time to talk about the principles. Principles have been talked, have been established, have been verified by scientific research in all these years - how many years. And now there is time too structure the administrative procedures, administrative procedures, for those four hundred, five hundred, two hundred people everywhere to live in a way that they don't fall off the grace of total invincibility. So I'll be busy that way, and will not have much time to speak about it. So Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace will inform the press that I'll be busy in creating the effect, rather than talking about the possibility of it, which I have been doing so far. So speaking so far has been completely successful, and now the success is [laughter] that I don't have time to speak about the principle. I create the effect, effect, effect. And creating effect, from country to country, from country to country - from in thee first country, Holland, the country of wholeness. It is about two months that the Yogic Flyers in Holland have been creating that effect - intensive effect - of coherence and positivity in the Dutch national consciousness. And this has inspired the neighboring nations' Yogic Flyers to follow the example of Holland. And they want to create the same thing in their country, in their country. So constantly, twenty-four hours, they are asking me. They are asking me little, little things, and I am not surprised, even those little, little things - but I have to answer them. Therefore, I am on a working mood now, shifting from speaking to working, from speaking to working, from speaking to working. Now let me enjoy [laughter] for some time working. And then, I don't have even to work; I just see the bubbles of bliss, the waves of bliss, moving from country to country, from country to country, from nation to nation, from galaxy to galaxy, from galaxy to galaxy - the whole galactic universe governed by one Total Natural Law, the Will of God. That will be witnessed in every country, in every country - that administration. That administraation I am setting up in country by country. In the national consciousness of each country, growing in invincibility will prove to everyone that all kinds of positivity is growing in every country, and negativity subsiding, subsiding. And after some time, nobody would know what negativity means. Positive will be a natural, normal state of life. Success will be natural, normal state of every action. Then success will belong to every knowledge, because knowledge will be complete - Vedic knowledge will be complete - in the awareness os of everyone. So all glory to Guru Dev. We are on the waves of bliss ourselves. This is the supreme level of evolvement of life on earth. And we are proud to be belonging to that level. It's very good. So, Prime Minister, thank the world press. And thank the - this is also the succcess of the reporting of world press. Now they have been reporting all kinds of negative things, and now their pen will be reporting nice things, like that, like that, like that. So put them on a new world, and don't mind if I'm not able to speak to them. Jai
[FairfieldLife] Advocate and God and Buddha
Thanks to Barry for recommennding The Advocate and whomever recommended God and Buddha. I enjoyed The Advocate: well acted, great script and story and, of course, it had that soft-core porn element that characterized alot of '70s films but didn't expect here. My big complaint about the movie didn't have to do with the movie but with some stupidity that the executive producers -- Miramax -- were responsible for (and I am otherwise a BIG fan of the Weinstein's): at the beginning of the movie was a printed notice that basically said: Critics, please refrain from revealing the surprise ending to this movie. Well, I spent the whole movie wondering what little secret I should be looking out for and, quite frankly, I lost my innocence in watching and it somewhat ruined the movie for me. God and Buddha is really quite fine. My admiration for Deepak Chopra was renewed as a result of seeing it. As he himself once observed about himself: He has the gift of the gab. He is, simply, a great communicator...a faculty for explaining in a melodic and soothing way abstract concepts in an interesting and educational way. Of course, virtually 90% of what he says comes from Maharishi. This is not a put-down, but an observation. I just find it curious that he uses MMY's exact phrasing of things. He is basically a celebrity TM teacher without the TM. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- See what's inside the new Yahoo!

Maybe the solution would be for the master to promote his or her sadhana as a single element one adds to one's daily routine, rather than insisting students give up this behavior or adopt that one. Teaching, say, a meditation technique alone, without all the concomitant lifestyle stuff - diets, sexual protocols and such - would free the master from having to exemplify the ideal lifestyle. But what master has ever taken such a tack? It would be bold indeed.

[FairfieldLife] Re: The 70's -Now and Then...
I must weigh in on the side of Now being better...because it is Now. Also the fact that Barry can ask 1000+ people this question simultaneously without thinking twice about it, is a huge transformation from the Big Three TV channels, a local newspaper and wired phone service we had in the 70's. I often think that these days seem worse to many of us simply because there are no more closed doors to what we can be aware of, on a social, regional, national, and global basis. Personally I like it much much better this way- more to deal with, but also a greater possiblity that we can tackle larger issues more successfully and collaboratively. Of course there has been the ability for those in power to use these same tools to entrench and consolidate their power. But they can't get away with as much for as long as they used to. Through the communications revolution, we are all being transformed into living and thinking globally, and I love it! Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.

There is a big difference in how many were here then and now. But how many centers have you been in, in which you saw any Indian immigrants donating time or getting initiated. It wasn't because they weren't out there, they were. While you may feel uncomfortable about walking into an AOL center or lecture of some sort, try it and see what you see. I think you would be surprised. It's mostly Indians. MMY geared TM for westerners. This is the main the reason why it didn't attract very many Indians. They thought it was too easy to be true and thought M was just making money. MMY still has that problem. Witness the Buddhist descriptions where they inform you of how you don't attempt to control the mind or the focus of attention and then warn you to be vigilant and make sure you don't fall asleep or get lost in thoughts... Can't be TOO easy or its not working! Obviously, MMY just doesn't get it while the ones that advocate subtle effort and control do. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.

But what the hell else could he say under the circumstances if he really thought the guys he was speaking to ought to be celibate for the sake of their evolution? I'm not condoning his illicit sexual behavior, given his position, but I'm not sure hypocrisy is the right term for what he told the guys. I see the nuance, and his conundrum. Given the lame nature of his relationships - maybe 30 minutes of nooky time at the end of the work day now and again - he probably didn't perceive himself as being in a relationship. I'm not trying to rationalize his behavior. I'm just assuming he was able to rationalize it himself. I had a spell some years ago when I enjoyed a cigar or two on the weekend. After about six months of this, I was looking at an insurance form that asked, Have you used any tobacco products in the past six months? If so, I had to pay the smoker's rate for insurance. At that point I realized, Oh my God. I'm a smoker. Before that, I never thought of myself as a smoker. It wasn't part of my identity. I was just enjoying a cigar or two on the weekend. Maybe Maharishi had the same delusion I did. Just as I thought I was essentially a non-smoker even as I puffed away at my La Unicas, he was able to think he was celibate when he dallying with his gopis. Certainly possible. What I had in mind was more that, assuming he genuinely thought it would be better for their spiritual development if they stayed celibate, introducing any potential cause for confusion over that instruction (How come he can and we can't? Is he really enlightened if he isn't celibate? etc. etc.) could inhibit their development, so he was essentially telling a lie for *their* benefit. Ends justifying the means and all that, clearly a rationalization and not the ideal we'd like to see by any means, but not hypocrisy per se. I wonder how often that kind of conundrum--not just about sex but any bad habit or behavior--masters have to deal with, pretending they don't indulge in that habit or behavior because they perceive (accurately or not) that to do otherwise would confuse their followers and get in the way of their sadhana.

You appear to be acknowledging that bin Laden's tape before the 2004 election was intended to influence folks to vote for Bush. Good for you. At the time, the right wing generally went around proclaiming that bin Laden wanted folks to vote for Kerry, in an attempt to get people to vote for Bush. Bin Laden knew precisely what he was doing. I'm not prepared to say Osama was wanting Bush elected. However Osama was trying to divide and conquer. I seem to remember him saying something about any state or city that didn't support Bush would be spared attacks by Al Qaeda. This sounded like an attempt to get people to vote against Bush for their own safety and whether it backfired or not and whether he intended it to backfire is debatable. Oh, of course he intended it to backfire. Bush is Osama's wildest dream come true. I think most people saw his tape as being laughable and an attempt to influence the election and left it at that. I don't think it changed anybody's minds of how they would vote. I doubt it had much if any effect. But the way the right wing deceptively tried to use it was inexcusable. Yahoo!

I am busy in laying out an administrative policy for every country to have a few hundred people create invincibility for the nation. But the world press demands that - this is from the long history of the Movement - weekly press conferences. Then I wish to address to the worrld press today that the success is so great that I don't have time to speak now anymore [laughter]. Whatever I have spoken has been enough fruitful that I don't have to speak now. I don't get time to speak. Now I am busy in sorting out little, little details of administrative values. Practical administrative values have to be sorted out in every country, in every country, even though the whole thing is automatic and it could go without my any advice or anything. But because it seems to be a new thing - people have been suffering, and now the voice of the time is: waves of bliss, waves of bliss, waves of bliss. So now the world press will excuse me for my success - that my success has put me on a level where I have no time to talk to anyone. I have only time to just - some missing area, some little thing. They are the practical administrative values - practical adminiistrative values for two hundred, four hundred, these people to fly together. So there is no more time to talk about the principles. Principles have been talked, have been established, have been verified by scientific research in all these years - how many years. And now there is time too structure the administrative procedures, administrative procedures, for those four hundred, five hundred, two hundred people everywhere to live in a way that they don't fall off the grace of total invincibility. So I'll be busy that way, and will not have much time to speak about it. So Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace will inform the press that I'll be busy in creating the effect, rather than talking about the possibility of it, which I have been doing so far. So speaking so far has been completely successful, and now the success is [laughter] that I don't have time to speak about the principle. I create the effect, effect, effect. And creating effect, from country to country, from country to country - from in thee first country, Holland, the country of wholeness. It is about two months that the Yogic Flyers in Holland have been creating that effect - intensive effect - of coherence and positivity in the Dutch national consciousness. And this has inspired the neighboring nations' Yogic Flyers to follow the example of Holland. And they want to create the same thing in their country, in their country. So constantly, twenty-four hours, they are asking me. They are asking me little, little things, and I am not surprised, even those little, little things - but I have to answer them. Therefore, I am on a working mood now, shifting from speaking to working, from speaking to working, from speaking to working. Now let me enjoy [laughter] for some time working. And then, I don't have even to work; I just see the bubbles of bliss, the waves of bliss, moving from country to country, from country to country, from nation to nation, from galaxy to galaxy, from galaxy to galaxy - the whole galactic universe governed by one Total Natural Law, the Will of God. That will be witnessed in every country, in every country - that administration. That administraation I am setting up in country by country. In the national consciousness of each country, growing in invincibility will prove to everyone that all kinds of positivity is growing in every country, and negativity subsiding, subsiding. And after some time, nobody would know what negativity means. Positive will be a natural, normal state of life. Success will be natural, normal state of every action. Then success will belong to every knowledge, because knowledge will be complete - Vedic knowledge will be complete - in the awareness os of everyone. So all glory to Guru Dev. We are on the waves of bliss ourselves. This is the supreme level of evolvement of life on earth. And we are proud to be belonging to that level. It's very good.

[FairfieldLife] File - FFL Guidelines.txt
Guidelines File 12/22/05 Fairfield Life averages 75-150 posts a day; 300+ on peak days. To avoid having your inbox flooded, we suggest one of the following: 1) Opt to receive the emails, but create a folder in your email client and a rule to direct all FFL posts to that folder. 2) Choose the no emails option and read FFL in your browser. 3) Opt to receive the daily digest. 4) Create another email account solely for FFL posts. Yahoo and Google now give free 2Gb accounts. 5) You can also read FFL posts at http://www.mail-archive.com/fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com/. Some say this is faster than the Yahoo groups interface, and prefer it because it allows sorting by thread and has a better search function. 6) In order to prevent a repeat of the incident in which apparently, a malicious member uploaded some x-rated photos and then notified Yahoo that our chat had x-rated photos, thus causing our temporary reclassification to the adult category, we have limited all members to read-only access for files, photos, links, database, and calendar. If you would like to upload something, please notify Gullible Fool ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Rick ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). We'll then temporarily lift the limitation, and impose it again after you're finished. Sorry for the inconvenience. 7) Our Files and Photos section are usually full. If you want to upload something, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will be uploaded to http://alex.natel.net/ffl/. We'll occasionally move the best material from there to FFL, and may archive some FFL stuff there. -- Check out http://www.frappr.com/fairfieldlife and add yourself if you feel like it. -- 1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone. Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting. Speak the truth that is sweet is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button. 2) Edit your posts and make them as concise and non-repetitive as possible. 3) Please be highly selective in quoting a message to which you are responding, deleting all but the most relevant portions of the prior posts. This makes the daily digest easier to read for those who subscribe to it. 4) Try to make clear to the reader if you are writing from the perspective of personal experience, from information gained from teachers or books, from your own thoughts, reasoning, logic or conjecture. Please cite sources where relevant. 5) Reference prior posts by their archive number whenever possible. 6) Anonymous posts are permitted, using an account you create. 7) FFL is a newsgroup public forum. FFL can be openly read from the web. Posting privileges are through membership only. Material published to FFL is not privileged or protected by law. Material published to FFL might be quoted and used elsewhere. 8) Make cross-posts from other sites only as they are highly relevant to this group. If you think another site has great value, write one post saying so, then let others join or go to that site on their own, at their discretion. 9) Only post links to other sites that are relevant references to the specific discussion at hand. 10) While friendly exchange between friends is natural, try to pass on personal messages via personal e-mail, refraining where possible from sending personal messages to the whole list. 11) Feel to invite your friends to join FFL, and to use the site's Promote feature on your websites. The broader the personal network, the greater the value to all. Friends may now access the posts of FFL directly off the home page without having to join the list. 12) Please don't post commercial announcements in the main message area. See the Database, Links and Files sections for folders that have been set up listing books, CDs, DVDs and other items for trade, a Fairfield ride board, local events, hiring/looking for work announcements, informative articles, useful, links, etc. 13) Discussions of politics that affect personal growth and world consciousness are allowed. However, be kind and respectful of others' viewpoints. Come with a humble heart, an open mind, and the desire to contribute constructively to everyone's broader awareness. 14) Keep in mind that many FFL members desire to maintain anonymity. If you happen to know a member's real name, perhaps because that member has mentioned it in a post or two, or just to you privately, please refer to that member only by the pseudonym. 15) If you want to make suggestions for the refinement of these guidelines, please post it in the forum.

I've always suspected the TMO *asked* him to do so, to avoid any possible confusion about whether he's teaching genyoowine TM under MMY's auspices. I also suspect Deepak would be quite happy to trade on MMY's name if he could, but he doesn't want to get into a fight with the TMO, so he doesn't. He certainly doesn't try to hide his past association with MMY and the TMO, as we saw a while back with his interview with that Indian paper about why the Beatles supposedly left MMY's ashram. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Hypocrisy (was Re: Maharishi's name)

Witness the Buddhist descriptions where they inform you of how you don't attempt to control the mind or the focus of attention and then warn you to be "vigilant" and make sure you don't fall asleep or get lost in thoughts...Can't be TOO easy or its not working!Obviously, MMY just doesn't "get" it while the ones that advocate subtle effort and control do. When I refer to Indians thinking Maharishi's teaching is too easy to be true, I mean M always said just Meditate twice a day for twenty minutes and go about your normal business.

Personally, I always thought that Maharishi should have kept his message as simple as it first started out-twenty minutes twice per day then go about living your normal life, no change in lifestyle required (yes I know, this is where people will say, well you didn't have to choose to add everything else), 200% of life--100% inner + 100% outer, etc. We used to tell people at intro lectures that the great thing about TM was that you didn't even have to believe in it, which, of course you still don't, but we also used to say that it was not a lifestyle. It was a fairly innocent message with a smack of Hinduism which made it all the more delicious during that era. But he was talking to teachers here, no? Not the rank and file.

Witness the Buddhist descriptions where they inform you of how you don't attempt to control the mind or the focus of attention and then warn you to be vigilant and make sure you don't fall asleep or get lost in thoughts... Can't be TOO easy or its not working! Obviously, MMY just doesn't get it while the ones that advocate subtle effort and control do. When I refer to Indians thinking Maharishi's teaching is too easy to be true, I mean M always said just Meditate twice a day for twenty minutes and go about your normal business. They knew there was a lot more to it than that. Just look at what is expected of us today and what we were told in 1970. Er, just what is expected of us today? Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Hypocrisy (was Re: Maharishi's name)
--Thanks, I don't believe MMY is invincible, either, on the basis of my experiment in the late 70's. At that time, the SRM lease was up at the old brick building on Santa Monica Blvd; and Charlie Lutes moved into an office at the West L.A. TM center down the road toward Santa Monica. Having learned that a powerful Santeria sorcerer from Cuba named El Negro was traveling through Mexico, I was able to meet him in Tijuana. To test MMY's level of invincibility, I paid the Sorcerer to place a hex on MMY; and after giving El Negro some pics of MMY, left Tijuana and returned to L.A. A few days later I saw Charlie at the West L.A. TM center and in due course of conversation, he told me that MMY was taking very extraordinary precautions to pretect himself by being surrounded physically by numerous people. To the best of my knowledge, no harm came to MMY; but on the basis of the results, I don't feel he's invincible. - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Patrick Gillam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- authfriend wrote: The most devoted followers are always going to try to emulate the master every way they can, no matter what the master says or doesn't say.

[FairfieldLife] Scheduled yogic flying in Japan
In Japan, 1,200 people have registered to do their morning and evening Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme at the same time. There are 700 sidhas and 500 meditators participating so far, and the numbers are swelling daily. Computer websites have been designed, in Japan, so that participants can instantly register their daily attendance by computer or mobile phone.. This enables everyone to see exactly how many people are meditating and flying together each day. This keeps inspiration lively and helps everyone to focus on achieving the goal. So far, 1,000 Yogic Flyers have flown simultaneously in Japan and Korea. Korea will also adopt Japan's innovative registration and attendance system, for internal use and to share with its neighbour, Japan. http://www.globalgoodnews.com/world-peace-a.html?art=1151783389107021 Yahoo!

Well, I spent the whole movie wondering what little secret I should be looking out for and, quite frankly, I lost my innocence in watching and it somewhat ruined the movie for me. God and Buddha is really quite fine. My admiration for Deepak Chopra was renewed as a result of seeing it. As he himself once observed about himself: He has the gift of the gab. He is, simply, a great communicator...a faculty for explaining in a melodic and soothing way abstract concepts in an interesting and educational way. Of course, virtually 90% of what he says comes from Maharishi. This is not a put-down, but an observation. I just find it curious that he uses MMY's exact phrasing of things. He is basically a celebrity TM teacher without the TM. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.

Ture believers will always find reason to believe. Like the Jehovah's witnesses, the more you point out the flaws, the stronger they grow. When they come to the door I just tell them I'm a reformed Druid (we're allowed to worship bushes). It's an old M*A*S*H* joke. If you read Joyce Collin-Smith's Call No Man Master or Paul Mason's Mahesh bio, it's perfectly clear that Mahesh is all about getting himself worshiped. I clearly remember the newspaper stories: he declared his mission failure and said he was retiring to the Himilayas. It was AFTER this that the Beatles made him famous and he bounced back with a vengence. First he created huge numbers of TM teachers (Mallorca, Fiuggi, La Antilla). He coo'd like a dove cooing to another dove from whom it hoped to borrow money (favourite Wodehouse quote) at the peak of rounding: no one can love you like I can, you are going to save the whole world, get the money from an auntie, from your gran Mahesh could be a real slime ball. And, what did he teach on his 6- month courses? Stuff borrowed and re-worked from Yogananda. I did all of the Yogananda lessons after TM, out of curiosity more than anything else. There were the A of E techniques and contacts provided more information about the 6-month courses. Just more of Yogananda with his lovely spin on it. And the 'sidhi' stuff? He had no idea, literally. He sent people to India to find yogis; he got obscure translations, he fiddled and fumed and tinkered ... but what worked best was the cooing, get 'em all spacey and suggest hopping. How simple; he'd always known that people would pay him for what they expected to get in return and that he never had any trouble convincing them it was their fault it wasn't working. He still bitches about too much negativity, too little work being done by others, yadda, yadda. The real Mahesh is someone completely imaginary for most people. But, yes, there was an inner circle, people who liked what they were doing and since he was providing room and board and the company of each other, they didn't particularly object doing it for him. But behind closed doors, the discussion shifted to how completely bonkers Mahesh was. Stripped of his public facade, he was a nutter with charm, intelligence, charisma by the sackful. But his ideas and his wast wedic wevelations were total kaka. It was all provided by people who not only told him what the Sanskrit said, but what the Sanskrit meant. It was all spindoctoring based on the work of others. Do nothing, accomplish everything took on a whole new meaning. YOU bust your balls and I take all the credit. Well, that was fun. Nothing new, but fun. Those who see, see. Those who don't see, still see. A finger points at the moon. Some will always and only consider the finger. Happy trails.
