 Thanks Barry.  I think that is a key, to be able to disagree

 your contributions here, even when I have found myself in 
 disagreement with your perspectives.  But you've seen alot, 
 done alot, and yes I think sometimes your initial assessments, 
 while harsh have been shown to be correct.

I will cop to the occasional harshness. :-) You have to
understand that -- as opposed to the New Agey Woo Woo
environment of the TMO -- life in the Rama trip or in
subsequent Tibetan settings was more like a dojo. We
were all equals, martial artists in search of spiritual
experience, and we didn't pull punches. Honesty was 
prized more highly than flattery, especially if someone's
thinking or behavior seemed to be off.

As for my initial assessments, sometimes it blows my
mind that people can't see what's so obviously right in
front of their faces. During their first two weeks on
this forum there was adequate data from which to deduce
that both Ravi and Robin were more than a little mentally
ill. It wasn't so much in what they said (although some-
times the choice of subject matter -- mainly Me, Me, Me --
was a big tipoff), as in *how* they said it. As Susan and
others have pointed out, the worrisome thing was in the
thinking processes themselves. Suffice it to say I found
too little coherence there to bother with reading more, 
and said so.

I've been thinking about this. (and I had to come home for the
dishwasher repairman)
   
Regarding this most instance with Robin, where I appear to have
contradictory opinions, I want to offer a little clarification.
   
For me, I found his explanations adequate, regarding his striking
 and
when, if, why it happened. But my relationship with Robin is less
active than some others here, and a little less controversial.
 Plus, my
habit, or modus operendi, is to not press people too much on
 issues I
may not agree with. I prefer, if possible, to remain on more
 cordial
terms. So, even though I found his explanation a little lame, I
 went
with it.
   
But I felt Curtis, who has had a more involved relationship with
 Robin,
and has been on the receiving end of many of Robin's challenges,
 had
every right to press him on these issues. Isn't that how it
 works-to
give as good as you get.
   
It's similiar to the Ravi situation. I worst Ravi ever got with me
 was
to call me a pea brained heartland retard. It didn't much bother
 me,
but I did lose any affection I had for the guy. But over all, I
 felt
that an appropiate sanction for him would be for a time out.
   
But if I had been in, say, Curtis' position, where I was subject
 to
vicious personal attacks, where my reputation and career were at
 stake,
then I likely would have felt differently.
   
So, just wanted to pass that one.
   
P.S. Evidently they removed phosphates from dishwasher cleaner a
 year
and half ago, which causes caking, and may prevent the soap
 compartment
from easily opening. A recommended cleaner is Dishwasher Magic.
Also, using individual packet of dishwasher cleaner gel caps
 might
help alleviate the problem. FYI. (-:

Some friends got us some tickets years ago to a Stevie Nicks concert  
at the Forum in Pittsburgh.


She had a band filled with veteran side-men who could belt out her  
hits note-for-note. The odd thing was, after every song or two,  
Stevie would disappear off stage and re-emerge in a different,  
gorgeous dress, all anew and energized.


It was only years later I heard that Stevie had such a bad coke  
habit, she would snort lines in between songs!


She's in recovery now for many years.

On Jan 24, 2012, at 11:20 PM, awoelflebater wrote:

I know I have come into this whole argument late, like months late,  
and I may be missing some essential pieces but bear with me.  
Robin's open letter admits that he, in the most literal terms, hit  
people during the Sunnyside days. Not to put too fine a point on it  
there were no seminars in those days. This was a close-knit group  
of friends who loved and appreciated Robin before his Arosa  
experience and who were in on his early days after returning from  
Switzerland. This was intimate stuff. A tiny house in Vic West,  
10-12 people often coming together for dinners and social  
gatherings. It was intensely private and very unorganized and  
spontaneous. There were no lights, no cameras no ideas for  
expanding anything beyond those confined walls of the Sunnyside  
house, all 900 sq. feet of it. All of this was between friends.  
They knew and trusted Robin and they were willing participants in  
this new adventure with this newly enlightened man who was part  
of a tradition they were also involved in - TM. It was a heady  
experience and it was unknown. As far as they were concerned they  
were spending an evening eating, talking and open to whatever the  
divine drama might reveal. They were there on their own volition.
So, if we are getting technical here, and we seem to be, Robin (as  
I outlined in my post a few days ago) was not a physically violent  
man within the context of his organization, the World Teacher  
Seminar. Hitting etc. was not a technique he employed to confront  
at the time Vaj claimed to be involved. Vaj, as a reasonable  
person, would not be able to comment on times and events he was not  
there for just as I would not be able to. Sunnyside pre-dated both  
of us.
For Vaj to be accurate he can only reveal what he witnessed, either  
on video or live. Robin has confessed to using physical force pre  
seminar days. He claims in the title of his open letter that he had  
lied about hitting because even though he had hit but not within  
the time frame of Vaj's assertions.
Does this make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Do we  
now brand Vaj a liar because according to my evidence it did not  
occur when he said it did? Do we brand Robin a liar because hitting  
really had occurred but under different contexts and conditions  
that Vaj was privy too? I don't bloody well know. What I do know is  
there are probably apologies due on both sides. Will this ever  
happen? Who knows? Does it matter? Probably. Can we all get on with  
our lives if we just drop it? Definitely. Good night.



The incident I was referring to was at the end of the World Teacher  
Seminar, at least from my POV. I saw it on tape, but was shown it for  
one reason: Robin, in what seemed to be a dead-end confrontation,  
ends up pounding his fists, as if in frustration and exasperation, on  
a student, on stage. As far as I was aware: this was the tape that  
ended it all. Shortly after that, again, from my POV, the WTS ceased  
to be. The people I knew, withdrew.


Robin has suggested that no such tape ever existed. This is untrue.

There seemed to be some concern that I might either produce this tape  
and digitize it, in an attempt to cause harm to Robin in some manner  
or to simply prove that it, in fact, did exist. I have no interest in  
any such thing. If anything, I'd review the tape to refresh my own  
memory, and if there was a discrepancy, mention it should the subject  
ever come up again. I do believe this tape is the source of the rumor  
that R. beat his students.


But I want to emphasize again, it's not fair to suggest that Robin  
beat or deliberately harmed his students, although once the word  
'hit the street' many rumors did spread and Robin's actions were made  
to appear as if he had abused someone. Without an understanding of  
the context of the 'enlightenment theatre' Robin started, it would  
not be possible that an outsider could fully understand what was even  
going on, let alone R's overwhelming sense of frustration.


And as to whether or not some confrontation tapes will ever see the  
light of day, my feeling is they would not - and should not. These  
are extremely personal dramas for the persons involved and should  
hold the same level of confidentially as one's medical records would  
or at least as much as a private home movie.


I'm still in the dark on later confrontations like the one you  
mention. I did not know they were even going on that late. But I'd  
wait to hear that from you, privately and in confidence, should you  
so desire or should it feel appropriate.



I should also add, that I've been in Sunnyside several times, after  
it was restored c. 1983.

Thanks for the clarification Vaj. The Sunnyside experience rather than the 
place is what I am referring to here. The early days, the days before the 
Americans got involved and the house was renovated. This was a whole new time, 
a whole new process. It is like the difference between a group playing in a 
garage band and later performing at the Royal Albert Hall. Actually, that is 
probably a bad comparison but you get the idea. So, you having visited 
Sunnyside 8 years later is irrelevant to any inside, first hand knowledge of 
what went on at those dinners.

  I know I have come into this whole argument late, like months late,  
  and I may be missing some essential pieces but bear with me.  
  Robin's open letter admits that he, in the most literal terms, hit  
  people during the Sunnyside days. Not to put too fine a point on it  
  there were no seminars in those days. This was a close-knit group  
  of friends who loved and appreciated Robin before his Arosa  
  experience and who were in on his early days after returning from  
  Switzerland. This was intimate stuff. A tiny house in Vic West,  
  10-12 people often coming together for dinners and social  
  gatherings. It was intensely private and very unorganized and  
  spontaneous. There were no lights, no cameras no ideas for  
  expanding anything beyond those confined walls of the Sunnyside  
  house, all 900 sq. feet of it. All of this was between friends.  
  They knew and trusted Robin and they were willing participants in  
  this new adventure with this newly enlightened man who was part  
  of a tradition they were also involved in - TM. It was a heady  
  experience and it was unknown. As far as they were concerned they  
  were spending an evening eating, talking and open to whatever the  
  divine drama might reveal. They were there on their own volition.
  So, if we are getting technical here, and we seem to be, Robin (as  
  I outlined in my post a few days ago) was not a physically violent  
  man within the context of his organization, the World Teacher  
  Seminar. Hitting etc. was not a technique he employed to confront  
  at the time Vaj claimed to be involved. Vaj, as a reasonable  
  person, would not be able to comment on times and events he was not  
  there for just as I would not be able to. Sunnyside pre-dated both  
  of us.
  For Vaj to be accurate he can only reveal what he witnessed, either  
  on video or live. Robin has confessed to using physical force pre  
  seminar days. He claims in the title of his open letter that he had  
  lied about hitting because even though he had hit but not within  
  the time frame of Vaj's assertions.
  Does this make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Do we  
  now brand Vaj a liar because according to my evidence it did not  
  occur when he said it did? Do we brand Robin a liar because hitting  
  really had occurred but under different contexts and conditions  
  that Vaj was privy too? I don't bloody well know. What I do know is  
  there are probably apologies due on both sides. Will this ever  
  happen? Who knows? Does it matter? Probably. Can we all get on with  
  our lives if we just drop it? Definitely. Good night.
 
 
 The incident I was referring to was at the end of the World Teacher  
 Seminar, at least from my POV. I saw it on tape, but was shown it for  
 one reason: Robin, in what seemed to be a dead-end confrontation,  
 ends up pounding his fists, as if in frustration and exasperation, on  
 a student, on stage. As far as I was aware: this was the tape that  
 ended it all. Shortly after that, again, from my POV, the WTS ceased  
 to be. The people I knew, withdrew.
 
 Robin has suggested that no such tape ever existed. This is untrue.
 
 There seemed to be some concern that I might either produce this tape  
 and digitize it, in an attempt to cause harm to Robin in some manner  
 or to simply prove that it, in fact, did exist. I have no interest in  
 any such thing. If anything, I'd review the tape to refresh my own  
 memory, and if there was a discrepancy, mention it should the subject  
 ever come up again. I do believe this tape is the source of the rumor  
 that R. beat his students.
 
 But I want to emphasize again, it's not fair to suggest that Robin  
 beat or deliberately harmed his students, although once the word  
 'hit the street' many rumors did spread and Robin's actions were made  
 to appear as if he had abused someone. Without an understanding of  
 the context of the 'enlightenment theatre' Robin started, it would  
 not be possible that an outsider could fully understand what was even  
 going on, let alone R's overwhelming sense of frustration.
 
 And as to whether or not some confrontation tapes will ever see the  
 light of day, my feeling is they would not - and should not. These  
 are extremely 

[FairfieldLife] Re: The Need is for National Yagya

2012-01-25 Thread Buck



 Thee could wonder that 
 
 were there a theocratic municipality election held in the larger meditating 
 community if these TM Rajas, their TM king and prime minister could survive a 
 confidence vote.  While they're not doing so well at gathering folks back to 
 meditate on the one hand it's gotten to be a pretty small movement inside on 
 the other.  


In Theocratic Municipality;
Well, this has happened before in history.  Example the spiritual community 
City of Zion, Illinois as was founded by a charismatic spiritual teacher late 
in the 19th Century on Lake Michigan north of Chicago.  The spiritual founder 
was voted out when he got too flamboyant, full of his Self, and cranky.  The 
community substituted by this vote someone else who was a great teacher of 
their tradition but who was not himself charismatic; then a generation later 
the community members voted this second guy out as he got too tyrannical and 
big of himself with administrating their doctrine.  The founder was 
spiritualized and the succeeding guy came along as a traditionalist doctrinaire 
of the group.  Each got turned out by vote of their group, both their times.  
Was the will of the practitioners.   A hundred years later the old group exists 
as a much smaller remnant church of what it was 'preserving' the teachings of 
the founder.  Effectively the personalities and behaviours of these early 
leaders spawned many splintered independent groups of their teaching who also 
still live in the area.   That's America.

 
  
  Practically, they are still a long way from reconciling with their old 
  meditators and succeeding here in Fairfield.
  For instance, most people in town here likely never been to a Movement 
  yagya or anything puja with the pundits even up in Vedic City.  Of course, 
  you'd have to have had a current dome badge to have done that or to even 
  git invited.  That of course has left the most meditators in town out.  
  These Raja guys have *stunning* HR skill sets.  Would seem they are out of 
  touch. 
  
   
a worry could be that they might need to figure things out better with 
   the meditating community here before they launch themselves (and us) 
   logistically off again.  It's getting to be a pretty small circle inside 
   there to be 'letting' money on this scale from whoever is left standing.  
   As that David movie brings up again, it is still fairly unclear where the 
   money went before while the scope of the scale of this particular project 
   is what, potentially bankrupting to all the other TM projects and 
   programs.  
   

Om, certainly does seem this is the pet project now of the few Rajas.
Seems also it's kind of being foist on folks.

 
 The TM Rajas seem mighty bent on staking the movement on this bet now.
 
  
  
   Marek, I'm just a guy on the street but I can tell you this is 
   sea-changing that also looks like it comes with an under-tow.  Of 
   course, this being FairfieldLife and more essentially about 
   Fairfield and TM here, these memos should be highly noteworthy 
   right now to anybody living here in Fairfield.  
   
   Yes, oh I give money to them too.  I'd like to see them succeed 
   in a good way for all kinds of good reason.  I've had a lot of 
   good experience with it.

That is an interesting book and a very good example of the intimacy of the 
group because it basically contains letters Robin wrote to his friends during 
that time (Vaj knows this but for others who have not read it). However I see 
Vaj was unable to refrain from being a tad dramatic and, inaccurate, I might 
add, when he uses the words bitch slapping. Pounding on someone's chest as 
Vaj earlier attests is not quite the same thing as an open handed slap across

Obba: Lucky her!

Barry: You think? [RETARD!] Did you miss the part where she is crying
as she sings her signature song? [HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?]

Barry: I leapt into the fray because I've known a lot of
witches in my time. 

RD: Actually, there wasn't any fray. Obba and Meruda were having a delightful 
conversation sharing poetry and music. Meruda wrote a beautifully sensitive 
poem about Robin and Obba chimed in with her own charming poem about Robin, and 
then the topic turned to sharing music about witches. IMO Obba and Meruda's 
sweet poems about Robin pushed Barry's buttons and he insinuated himself into 
the conversation by posting links to music on the topic of witches.

Barry: Or at the very least, women who thought of themselves as witches. 

RD: Translation: How dare they!

Barry: All shared the same mindset, 

RD: Translation: We must paint all such women with the same Broad-Brush (pun).

Barry: in which power over others and the acquisition of it was a primary goal. 

RD: Ah...Here's the crux of the matter: Barry hates powerful women.  Obba when 
you wrote, Judy has the upper hand when it comes to the English language and 
its use, Barry must have went apoplexic. It brought up his complete animosity 
toward powerful women, particularly Judy, the undisputed expert at busting 
Barry's balls.
 
Barry: All were essentially unhappy.

RD: Translation: Barry feels threatened by powerful women. He diminishes them 
by declaring they are unhappy. 

Barry: What you focus on you become.

RD: Good advice Barry should follow.

RD: IMO I've thought for quite awhile now, that Barry needs to resolve 
domineering vs. doormat mother issues. He's quick to make a pronouncement about 
the mental stability of Robin or Ravi, but has yet to deal with his own 
peculiarities. What's good for the goose, as they say...

Obba, you are a feisty girl. I have every confidence you won't allow yourself 
to be bullied, or disrespected by anyone on this forum. If you get into a 
pickle, the sisters have your back.

 Barry: I leapt into the fray because I've known a lot of
 witches in my time. 
 

Poor dude. Bitch slapped. 

 RD: Actually, there wasn't any fray. Obba and Meruda were having a delightful 
 conversation sharing poetry and music. Meruda wrote a beautifully sensitive 
 poem about Robin and Obba chimed in with her own charming poem about Robin, 
 and then the topic turned to sharing music about witches. IMO Obba and

 language and its use, Barry must have went apoplexic. It brought up his 
 complete animosity toward powerful women, particularly Judy, the undisputed 
 expert at busting Barry's balls.
  

Sometimes it is good to let a man feel above, if you know what I mean. ; )

 Barry: All were essentially unhappy.

 by declaring they are unhappy.

 Barry: What you focus on you become.
 
 RD: Good advice Barry should follow.

So I can venture out of my bunker now?

According to human wiki Stephen Fry:

Everyone expected to die in 1910 because they thought the
nitrogen in the atmosphere would turn into laughing gas.
That year Halley's Comet pasted the Earth and at the time
astronomy was beginning to take shape as a serious science. 
However, some people were worried that the tail would pass
through the atmosphere and turn the nitrogen into laughing
gas (nitrous oxide), causing everyone to die laughing. Some
people put rags in keyholes, over doors and windows and
stop the gas coming in.

 However, some people were worried that the tail would pass

I do believe given the mention of several video tapes out there, we should

I do still own a good VCR and a digitizing DVD recorder I use to transfer tapes

most if not all of these people have moved on. It could be horribly damaging to 
these people if they were freely circulated publicly. But old seminar

Yep, this e-mail was one of the more poignant things posted here in a while.
Particularly that pargraph about Guru Dev and the holy tradition.


 When did things change?  An E-mail from a FFL lurker...
 
  Buck;
 I find this post of yours really struck a chord within me as it really 
 echoes my own feelings. 
 I attribute the changes to an even earlier period--when the first group came 
 back with a formal sidhis program and starting really lording it over the 
 rest of us. This was somewhere 1975-1976. Ever since then, in my mind, it 
 stopped being about meditate and act and 200% of life and three fields 
 of life, action-thinking-being.
 
 Yes MMY did tell us to every day is life...don't pass up the present based 
 on the hopes of a more glorious future... but bit by bit he allowed, if not 
 encouraged, all that to change and over time the pronouncements of what we 
 should/should not do, started  coming down with increasing frequency. 
 Spontaneity of life was lived more and more with all of us quoting a wide 
 variety of things M said, often in contradiction to other things he said.
 
 And with each passing round of courses, what we were told: TM is not a 
 religion or even a belief system became less and less true. All this until 
 everything, as your friend pointed out, seemed to be about 'Brand Maharishi'.
 
 I have bemoaned the loss of the Maharishi of that era of innocence I knew, 
 followed and loved. He became increasingly cranky and dictatorial over time. 
 And eventually he started putting people down--good people who followed him. 
 I remember clearly being among the chastised, on a number of occasions, for 
 not doing what he said, when clearly, I was among the followers doing exactly 
 what he said, as was everyone else in the room. But he was angry at the 
 people not doing what he said only he was taking it out on those present.
 
 In my mind, this is a model followed, in particular, by Bevan. How many times 
 did Bevan chastise everyone who was actually at the program for the numbers 
 being low as if we-the people who were there--were somehow to blame.
 
 The light of compassion and joy of participation eventually disappeared to a 
 large degree due to this overwhelming presence of Brand Maharishi. And the 
 point that you constantly make about people being allowed in the dome if they 
 are willing to promise, swear, take an oath, etc. should be the rule. 
 
  Etc.
 In my innermost life as well as clearly in my thoughts and feeling almost all 
 my waking hours, I'm still loyal to Guru Dev, the Holy Tradition and have the 
 most special place in my heart for Maharishi, but that spot in my heart-for

I was interviewing someone yesterday who had left the TM

2012-01-25 Thread Susan
Really, I would guess that anyone deeply involved in TM in the 70's and 80's 
has some of the same feelings.  Sadness at the changes and the loss of the 
movement as it was then.  Sadness when thinking of the change in feelings over 
the years as MMY changed the emphasis. Devotion to Guru Dev and some 
ambivalence about MMY.  How could you not? I think that people who don't feel 
this way must be in the very small minority.  Even John and Bevan and the Rajas 
probably have their own doubts or stuff to wrestle with (or ignore) in 
private moments of honesty.

  Obba: Nice song contributions, turq.
 
  Barry: Thanks for noticing. The Eagles cut was the first that sprung
 to mind when the subject of witches came up. The Santana cut was a
 YouTube right panel find, something that they felt was related to the
 Eagles song.
 
  Obba: You are welcome. I enjoyed them tremendously.

I've been watching these a lot since Emily first turned me on to them.  I'm 
thinking this may be my favorite.
