I think he knew what he was doing when it cames to money. In the 60ths 50 % of all initiation fees was sent to India. You do not need to be psycic to figure out - that the money had do go into some bank-account that someone own. Or into suitcases or briefcases so that it can't be traced -- remember Leon Weiner and all the funds transferred from country to country in that way. And I think that the only ones that he trusted was/ is his family. The whole thing has been / is family business. We thought that we - the TM-Teachers - was his family - we were not. We certainly aren't family - we aren't even officially teachers these days. I'm pretty sure that we'll never know were the money went. After all these years of people trusting completely, and *not caring* where the money went, it's basically untraceable. A non-profit organization is *supposed to* publish detailed records of its income and expenses every year, but since the TM movement has a proven record of moving money across international borders illegally, I think it's safe to assume that part of its intent from Day One was to *hide* how much money the organization has. At this point, after four decades of doing this, I'm sure no one has a clue. However, given human nature, It would be a stretch of the imagination to believe that large amounts of this money had *not* found its way into the pockets of unscrupulous people taking advantage of the situation. My bet is that *most* of the money went into these people's pockets, and that no one will ever see a penny of it again, much less see it spent on the projects it was raised for. It's basically the Enron model -- raise money for a project, transfer the money to untraceable accounts within days of receiving it, and then kill of the project. Enron did it for years before the bubble exploded, and they were a publicly-traded corporation that was under scrutiny from the SEC and its own stockholders. Almost no one in the TMO has *ever* scrutinized or asked about the money that the TMO handles; what could thieves get away with in *that* organization if they wanted to? My bet is that they did, and will continue to do so quietly until Maharishi dies. And then, for a period of about two or three months after his death, they'll do so openly, throwing caution to the wind, and then beat feet for whatever island they've bought with the proceeds, and leave the blissninnies to try to figure out what happened to them and handle the bankruptcy.

Or, come to think of it, *any* sentence starting with the word 'BUT...' Think about it. I've been in spiritual organizations where the students *don't* tend to argue, to start sentences with 'BUT...' and present another point of view that is obviously meant to be the right or dominant point of view. In such organizations, replies tend to start with, 'AND...,' as if the speaker were merely introducing another way of seeing the situation, one that is not necessarily superior to the point of view he or she is bouncing off of. It's more of a give-and-take, an exchange of different points of view, none necessarily better or more correct than another. Compare and contrast this to the TMO, in which we hear sentences that begin with 'BUT...' a *lot*. My suggestion for why this is is that the very nature of TM teaching is pedantry. TM teachers are trained to memorize the right answer to every question, the right comeback to every criticism. And these right answers get passed along to the TM rank and file, who then tend to mindlessly repeat them whenever the same question or criticism arises. The repeated buzzphrases and dogma were originally presented as right; they are repeated as right. There is always the supposition that there *IS* a right answer to the question or criticism, a right point of view to take in such situations. The word 'BUT..., used to introduce a sentence, in most cases defines someone who is convinced that he or she is right, and is about to make a stand and attempt to convince the other person that he or she *IS* right. It's the introduction to a butting of heads, an attempt to establish dominance. It's the expression of a self that feels challenged, an ego fighting to convince itself not only that it knows the truth, but that it exists. Yahoo!

Which, interestingly, they never follow up by actually doing the otherwise. It would have been good to try these things in court. Not a chance. If the law firms in question have their acts together, they will be advising the TMO to never allow any of these cases to come to court. If they did, the TMO's way of doing business would be exposed to public scrutiny, and many records and individuals would be subpoena-able. IMO, they will stick with empty threats. On the other hand, wouldn't it be fascinating to see the song and dance if they *did* allow one of these cases to come to court, and Maharishi himself was subpoenad? We all know that there is not an icicle's chance in hell that he'd appear, which would prejudice the case in favor of the defendant. And if the defendent's lawyers subpoenad the actual agreements signed by the TM teacher being sued, there is a *very* small possibility that the TM movement would be able to produce them. Back when I worked at TM National in L.A. in the mid 70s, there was an attempt to create a computerized record of all the people who had been made TM teachers and all of the people who had learned TM. They could find records for less than an estimated 20% of them. The people handling the storage of such records were blissninnies who just threw the documents somewhere and then moved on to some course or some other town, telling no one where they'd put them. The best part of this particular fiasco was that no one could find evidence that any of the leaders of the TM movement in the US at the time -- such as Jerry Jarvis and three of the four Regional Coordinators -- had ever been instructed in TM. :-) Mike has nothing to worry about...

Dr. Felber is not even due to *present* his findings to NASA until April 14, but press release articles like this are appearing in advance. Doesn't sound like real science to me. Felber to present near-light speed concept 2/10/2006 10:49:00 AM By: Taken from StarMark Release Noted physicist Dr. Franklin Felber will present his new exact solution of Einstein's 90-year-old gravitational field equation to the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque on Febuary 14. The solution is the first that accounts for masses moving near the speed of light. Felber's solution takes away the equation of needing huge energy sources on board a ship travelling at such huge speeds, instead the ship will draw its energy from 'massive star'. Felber's antigravity discovery solves the two greatest engineering challenges to space travel near the speed of light: identifying an energy source capable of producing the acceleration; and limiting stresses on humans and equipment during rapid acceleration. 'Dr. Felber's research will revolutionize space flight mechanics by offering an entirely new way to send spacecraft into flight,' said Dr. Eric Davis, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin and STAIF peer reviewer of Felber's work. 'His rigorously tested and truly unique thinking has taken us a huge step forward in making near- speed-of-light space travel safe, possible, and much less costly.' The field equation of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity has never before been solved to calculate the gravitational field of a mass moving close to the speed of light. Felber's research shows that any mass moving faster than 57.7 percent of the speed of light will gravitationally repel other masses lying within a narrow 'antigravity beam' in front of it. The closer a mass gets to the speed of light, the stronger its 'antigravity beam' becomes. Felber's calculations show how to use the repulsion of a body speeding through space to provide the enormous energy needed to accelerate massive payloads quickly with negligible stress. The new solution of Einstein's field equation shows that the payload would 'fall weightlessly' in an antigravity beam even as it was accelerated close to the speed of light. Accelerating a 1-ton payload to 90 percent of the speed of light requires an energy of at least 30 billion tons of TNT. In the 'antigravity beam' of a speeding star, a payload would draw its energy from the antigravity force of the much more massive star. In effect, the payload would be hitching a ride on a star. 'Based on this research, I expect a mission to accelerate a massive payload to a 'good fraction of light speed' will be launched before the end of this century,' said Dr. Felber. 'These antigravity solutions of Einstein's theory can change our view of our ability to travel to the far reaches of our universe.'

Which, interestingly, they never follow up by actually doing the otherwise. It would have been good to try these things in court. Not a chance. If the law firms in question have their acts together, they will be advising the TMO to never allow any of these cases to come to court. If they did, the TMO's way of doing business would be exposed to public scrutiny, and many records and individuals would be subpoena-able. IMO, they will stick with empty threats. On the other hand, wouldn't it be fascinating to see the song and dance if they *did* allow one of these cases to come to court, and Maharishi himself was subpoenad? We all know that there is not an icicle's chance in hell that he'd appear, which would prejudice the case in favor of the defendant. And if the defendent's lawyers subpoenad the actual agreements signed by the TM teacher being sued, there is a *very* small possibility that the TM movement would be able to produce them. Back when I worked at TM National in L.A. in the mid 70s, there was an attempt to create a computerized record of all the people who had been made TM teachers and all of the people who had learned TM. They could find records for less than an estimated 20% of them. The people handling the storage of such records were blissninnies who just threw the documents somewhere and then moved on to some course or some other town, telling no one where they'd put them. The best part of this particular fiasco was that no one could find evidence that any of the leaders of the TM movement in the US at the time -- such as Jerry Jarvis and three of the four Regional Coordinators -- had ever been instructed in TM. :-) Mike has nothing to worry about...

Interestingly enough, the fellow I studied with for some time, Rama, was almost always conscientious about making sure his students were safe. Which didn't prevent him to commit suicide himself. What an apt example! Yup, he sure did. In the early days of his teaching, he seemed concerned with his students' welfare and with systematically toppling any pedestal his students tried to put him up on. Towards the end of his life he seemed more interested in erecting those pedestals himself and with serving himself rather than serving others. If nothing else, his life is an interesting study in karma, IMO especially the karma of someone who believed he could get away with abusing a Class C controlled substance (Valium) and have it not affect his behavior and his judgement. Chogyam Trungpa did the same thing with alcohol. IMO, how both of their lives turned out was a real waste of talent and potential, and an object lesson to be learned from. Maharishi seems to be headed down the same path, but without chemical assistance. Go figure. Yahoo!

[FairfieldLife] Re: more on poverty, should anyone be interested
My objections to your posts on poverty are first that you stereotype the poor (does anyone ask you if you are spending your money on frivolous things?) and second that your definition of poverty is out of the mainstream, useless and wrong. Just to give one example, consider this, which I took from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development at http://www.nccbuscc.org/cchd/povertyusa/index.htm Since 1999, the number of poor Americans suffering from `food insecurity' and hunger has increased by 3.9 million - 2.8 million adults and more than one million children. In 2002, 34.9 million people lived in households experiencing food insecurity - that is, not enough food for basic nourishment - compared to 33.6 million in 2001 and 31 million in 1999. (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Household Food Security in the United States, 2002, October 2003.) So much for your notion that no one in this country suffers from a lack of the necessitites of life. Perhaps you have a rosy view of things because Arizona doesn't figure in the top ten poverty states, which are 1. Mississippi 17.3% below the poverty line 2. New Mexico 17.3% 3. Louisiana16.8% 4. District of Columbia 16.7% 4. Texas16.7% 6. Arkansas16.4% 7. Alabama 16.0% 7. Kentucky 16.0% 9. West Virginia15.8% 10.

Here 'tis: If your point is that poverty in America is very different from poverty in, say, Bangladesh, of course that is true. It's obvious. Poverty is a relative concept. if you don't have the things that the majority of people in your society have, and therefore cannot participate fully in that society, you are poor. First, thanks to Judy for finding feste37's definition. Okay. The way you define poverty is completely different from the way I define it. I do NOT define it as a relative concept which is, of course, the way it is defined by the poverty line definition. Plus, my definition has NOTHING to do with whether or not you have the same things as the majority of the people in society have. Nor does my definition include whether or not one can participate fully in that society because they don't have the things that the majority have. That's an approximation of a standard definition, I think, if I remember my social science classes from about 15 million years ago. You ask about deprivations. Lack of health insurance, for one, which means that people see doctors less often than they should do and need to do, and so lack preventive care. Inability to pay for needed medications is another deprivation. Choosing between food and medication is another. I'm sure there are many more. It's called going without, and the poor quietly learn to do this, but that doesn't mean they are not poor. ...and I contend that there is no one that the above applies to in America...and that is why there are no poor people. There are social programs -- government or otherwise -- that will take care of those essential needs.

Lack of health insurance, for one, which means that people see doctors less often than they should do and need to do, and so lack preventive care.

[FairfieldLife] Capturing pig power
http://tinyurl.com/9ybke Los Angeles Times, 11Feb2006, Business section Capturing Pig Power The Kyoto pact puts nearly 600 projects in the developing world. One example: energy fueled by hog waste. By Marla Dickerson, Times Staff Writer Georgina Cano had long resigned herself to the stench from the hog farm just up the road from her rural home. Stagnant lagoons of waste from thousands of squealing pigs fouled the air for miles in this flat stretch of central Mexico. Cano's three children complained and occasionally fell ill, but she figured it came with living in a region that produces much of the nation's pork. ADVERTISEMENT Last year, the smell diminished even as the hog production continued. Now I hardly notice it, said Cano, 37, gesturing toward the low sheds about half a mile from her home. It's healthier for the children. Cano's family and neighbors can credit a little known Irish company for helping them to breathe easier these days. Thanks to the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 international treaty on climate change, efforts by industrialized countries to fight global warming are popping up in far-flung places like Villagran, a hamlet about 40 miles southwest of the city of Queretero. Nearly 600 Kyoto-related projects are in the pipeline in the developing world, according to a recent tally by a Danish climate research center funded in part by the United Nations. About 40% of them are in Latin America, including hydroelectric power plants in Honduras and wind-powered turbines in Chile. The accord, which the United States has not ratified, calls for reducing overall greenhouse-gas emissions by major industrialized countries in the period 2008-2012 to amounts at least 5% below 1990 levels. More than 150 nations have signed and ratified the treaty, but the burden to reduce emissions falls on about three dozen industrialized countries responsible for most of the climate mess. One way for industrialized countries to meet their reduction targets is to support environmental projects in developing regions. Dubbed the Clean Development Mechanism, it was designed to lower compliance costs for rich nations while funneling much-needed development to poor ones. The climate agreement set up a trading system administered by the U.N. in which the rights to spew pollutants can be bought and sold like stocks. That has spurred interest from entrepreneurs who are funneling money into environmentally friendly projects in exchange for anti-pollution credits. Each credit represents the equivalent of a ton of carbon dioxide kept out of the atmosphere. Although registries for these and other types of emission credits still are being set up by the U.N., buyers and sellers already are making deals. AgCert International, the Dublin, Ireland-based company that installed clean-up equipment on the hog farm near Cano's home, has made commitments to provide nearly $90 million of emission credits to European utility companies and petroleum producers to help them meet their reduction goals. Chief Executive Gregory Haskell, an American and serial entrepreneur with no previous agriculture experience, calculated that more that 1 billion credits would be required to satisfy Kyoto obligations. The opportunity to fill some of that demand led him to found AgCert in 2002. We looked for what the need was in the marketplace, Haskell said. In Latin America, AgCert has installed pollution-control equipment on about 230 hog and dairy farms in Mexico and Brazil, according to company officials. AgCert hopes to have more than 1,000 facilities operating by the end of 2007 in those nations as well as in Chile and Argentina. Haskell said about 7% of the world's production of greenhouse gases could be attributed to large animal feeding operations, which produce several harmful byproducts, including methane. AgCert replaces open waste lagoons with pits that are lined and covered with a plastic that traps gases emitted by decomposing waste. The gases are piped out of the pit and burned off in a combustion unit that looks like a giant torch. The gases also can be used to fuel generators to provide electricity for the farm, similar to the manure-powered city of Bartertown in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the 1985 film starring Mel Gibson. In addition to providing renewable energy and reducing emissions by around 95%, the system keeps animal waste from leaching into the water table while greatly reducing the foul smell. The process also yields organic fertilizer that farmers can sell or use on their crops. AgCert pays for the construction and equipment, which averages about $150,000 a farm, and takes care of all maintenance for 10 years. The company also is working out a formula to give farmers a share of the revenue from sale of the emission credits, said Hernan Mateus, the company's general manager in Mexico. He said the projects gave jobs to local

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the first Indian spiritual leader to be received in the Oval Office by a president of the United States. The seer was visiting the White House for discussions with senior officials of the Bush Administration's Faith-Based Initiative, when officials asked him if he would like to meet with Bush. Almost immediately they arranged for an Oval Office meeting between the two. Bush embraced Sri Sri Ravi Shankar soon as he entered the Oval Office, and said, 'I am very glad you are here and please keep us in your prayers." He then asked the guru if he could take a picture with him, and called for the White House photographer to do the needful. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar later participated in a prayer meeting presided over by Bush, at the White House East, which was followed by a reception for several participants belonging to various faiths. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar who as part of his world tour has just returned from Mexico and is scheduled to go to Brazil to address that country's Parliament, told rediff.com this was his first visit to the US Congress and the White House. "My message to them has been the uplifting of human values," he said. He said he had briefed lawmakers and the White House about "our stress relief program with prisoners and the people in Iraq. The prison program is one of the main programs were are doing. "I have already sent some doctors from India to Iraq, with ayurvedic medicines, and they are helping the people to overcome the trauma because the people there cannot sleep, are in constant anxiety and the conditions are terrible and women and children are suffering. So we are doing a big campaign for them." "I am also working with Kashmiri migrants," Ravi Shankar told rediff.com. "We have about a three-and-a-half lakh Kashmir Pandits still in refugee camps for 14 years, and nobody has cared for them. Now, I am taking up their cause and trying to rehabilitate them, trying to put them back in Kashmir." Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was also feted on Capitol Hill at a reception hosted by influential Republican Representative David Dreier of California, who chairs the powerful House Rules Committee. Among lawmakers present were the co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian American Representatives Joseph Crowley (New York Democrat) and Joe Wilson (South Carolina Republican); founder and former co-chair of the India Caucus Frank Pallone (New Jersey Democrat); unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich of Ohio; Earl Blumenauer (Oregon Democrat); James Walsh (New York Republican); and Diane Watson (California Democrat), among others. Dreier, who recently made his first visit to India along with Staff Director of the Rules Committee Billy Pitts, said, "He is obviously a great spiritual leader and we are all so pleased that we can welcome him. We've had some wonderful meetings, it's a great honor and privilege for me to be here and to welcome him to the US Capitol." "This is something we need to pursue so that there is in this world that is shrinking, an understanding of differences that exist," he said. Several influential Jewish Americans, including the hierarchy of the American Jewish Committee, were presented at the reception as were several Indian-American community leaders and senior Indian embassy officials.

[FairfieldLife] Unity of subject and object in Tendrel.
--- --- http://www.tarab-institute.org/gb/congressreport4.htm Basically Tendrel contains the understanding of the inter- determinate nature of all that exists. In accordance with general Buddhist ideas the rules governing the cause and effect nature of existence in turn imply compounded nature of everything that exists together with the moment-to-moment-changing-nature. Asanga (c. 395- 470), one of the two most important Buddhist philosophers, set forth the rules of the interrelationship between subject-object, implying that the object does not exist in and by itself independently of the experiencing subject, because the root of the object is no different from the root of the subject. Nagarjuna (c. 150-250), the other of the two most important Indian Buddhist Philosophers, expressed the view concerning Tendrel that both subject and object realities only exist conventionally and neither of them exist in and by themselves. Everything existing -- subject as well as object -- exists in an interrelated way. In this connection Nargajuna found that conventional reality expresses itself in the unity of the four pairs of opposites: becoming and cessation, the finite and the infinite, localization and de-localization, as well as part and whole. --- End forwarded message --- Yahoo!

Hi Rick If possible, please post on Fairfield life. This is the most recentl letter i received from the TMO. According to one attorney, it's mostly saber rattling. Mike I hope Mike has some good representation. And a lot of money. JohnY As this situation draws in on Mike I think it is obvious that he is making progress with his attornies. I know he's been in S Florida for years and has financial supporters like any teacher in the field. You don't need to be wealthy to tackle the threats of the TMO. Money is not the issue here. Teachers like Mike feel like they have more to loose by complying with the requests we read in the TMO attorneys template letter. I think a loss for Mike would mean a loss for the teaching. The TMO would need to hire or recruit an attorney in Florida to do it's bidding. Attorneys from the other side would sue for their expenses too. I just received word here in California that the recert program is out of money (what, you thought the millionaire courses would bail them out!) and that teachers were told by administrators to keep all the money they collect for course fees. They must charge $2500 so it's still crazy. To my knowledge no recert teachers are getting any salaries. I think any intelligent judge would begin to see the goofy pattern and realize the TMO is not capable of taking care of it's employees, defending it's trademark or proving it's non- profits status, especially in light of the new Patriot Act re transfer of funds abroad.

Iron, when red hot or above, is not magnetic and so would not contribute to the earth being a magnet. * http://www.phy6.org/earthmag/dynamos2.htm So the molten metal is believed to be circulating. By moving through the existing magnetic field, it creates a system of electric currents, spread out through the core, somewhat like Faraday's disk dynamo, discussed earlier. Currents create a magnetic field--a distribution of magnetic forces--and the essence of the self- sustaining dynamo problem is to find solutions such that the resulting magnetic field is also the input field required for generating the current in the first place. snip +++ Did I miss where the existing magnetic field comes from or is the latest in perpetual motion? N. ** http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/earth/magnetic.html Origin of the Magnetic Field Magnetic fields are produced by the motion of electrical charges. For example, the magnetic field of a bar magnet results from the motion of negatively charged electrons in the magnet. The origin of the Earth's magnetic field is not completely understood, but is thought to be associated with electrical currents produced by the coupling of convective effects and rotation in the spinning liquid metallic outer core of iron and nickel. This mechanism is termed the dynamo effect. Rocks that are formed from the molten state contain indicators of the magnetic field at the time of their solidification. The study of such magnetic fossils indicates that the Earth's magnetic field reverses itself every million years or so (the north and south magnetic poles switch). This is but one detail of the magnetic field that is not well understood. Yahoo!

Legal: Cease and desist Letter?
Hi Rick
If possible, please post on Fairfield life. This is the most
recentl letter i received from the TMO. According to one
attorney, it's mostly saber rattling.
Mike
I hope Mike has some good representation.
And a lot of money.
JohnY
As this situation draws in on Mike I think it is obvious that he is
making progress with his
attornies. I know he's been in S Florida for years and has
financial supporters like any
teacher in the field. You don't need to be wealthy to tackle the
threats of the TMO. Money
is not the issue here. Teachers like Mike feel like they have more
to loose by complying
with the requests we read in the TMO attorneys template letter. I
think a loss for Mike
would mean a loss for the teaching. The TMO would need to hire or
recruit an attorney in
Florida to do it's bidding. Attorneys from the other side would sue
for their expenses too.
I just received word here in California that the recert program is
out of money (what, you
thought the millionaire courses would bail them out!) and that
teachers were told by
administrators to keep all the money they collect for course fees.
They must charge
$2500 so it's still crazy. To my knowledge no recert teachers are
getting any salaries. I
think any intelligent judge would begin to see the goofy pattern and
realize the TMO is not
capable of taking care of it's employees, defending it's trademark
or proving it's non-
profits status, especially in light of the new Patriot Act re
transfer of funds abroad.
Daniel
I spoke to Mike about a year ago. He is very dedicated to the
teaching. I hope that he gets good representation if he needs it.
