Re: [FairfieldLife] Day in the Life, Part 2
Excellent followup. :-) The explanation of enlightened flatulence was...uh...a breath of fresh air amidst all the other smells so prevalent here. I can tell you're really gettin' into the rhythm of this. Isn't it amazing how this stuff pretty much writes itself once you get started? I look forward to future installments... From: Michael Jackson mjackso...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2014 2:28 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Day in the Life, Part 2 A Day in the Life (of a TM'er) Part 2 Governor watched Bevan move his corpulent bulk to the microphone on the raised dais just behind the flying area reserved exclusively for the Rajas. The foam there is laced with gold dust and the sheets are a thousand count real Egyptian cotton grown in India by Movement Indians. Rumors that the Egyptian cotton farmers were being exploited by Girish and the Indian Movement boys were…well, you know. At one time the Rajas had insisted on all silk sheets to fly on but these had proven too slippery and there had been quite a few collisions before they were exchanged for the cotton variety. Rumors that the rajas had cursed each other out using decidedly un-vedic language while holding their bleeding heads was just that, rumor. Bevan cleared his throat and began in that distinctive accent of his. I have a few announcements before we begin the morning's program. First of all, I want to put to rest the very scurrilous rumors that have been circulating around the community for the last several weeks that the Rajas, our highly regarded and sattvic Rajas have been eating meat, pork meat no less and that it has been producing a good deal of flatulence on the part of the Rajas and this pork meat flatulence odor is ruining the programs of some of you here in the Mahaar-shee Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge. Bevan paused and primped his mouth up in a very disapproving way before he continued his exposition of new knowledge. These are horrid rumors and there is not a shred of truth in any of them. Let me remind you that all of our illustrious Rajas are fully enlightened, and I mean fully enlightened. Don't waste my time after program asking me what level of enlightenment I mean. When I say enlightened rajas, I mean full enlightenment! That which is beyond Brahmin consciousness! If we think of rajas, we must think of that which is beyond Brahmin consciousness at all times! Here Bevan paused and took out a couple of chocolate cookies from an inner robe pocket and began to delicately devour them. Crumbs fell from his mouth onto the expensive sheets beneath his rather large feet. A small form darted out of the shadows behind Bevan and immediately made for those feet. As Bevan munched, the small skinny boy surreptitiously scooped up cookie crumbs and hurriedly stuffed them in his own mouth shooting questioning looks every now and again at Bevan as if fearful of being corrected on his behavior. Those who could see this byplay nodded and smiled. They knew it was Bevan's Indian punkawalla. All the Rajas had them. The little punkawalla was doing his job cleaning up after Bevan and all was right with the world, felt the Governor who smiled and nodded too. Bevan looked down at the boy and spoke a quiet word. The punkawalla leapt to his feet and sped back into an area that was curtained off from the rest of the Dome with very expensive sheets of linen embroidered with scenes from the Mahabharata. Moments later he emerged with a solid gold thermos that everyone assumed was filled with warm water, but the punkawalla swerved his nose away from the bottle when he opened it. The suggestions some had made that perhaps Bevan kept some beverage a bit stronger in his Maharishi Golden Thermos™ were crude, coarse and not to be believed. Bevan took a long draught from the bottle, smacked his lips, waved the punka away and continued. As I was saying, when we think of the rajas, we think of the pinnacle of human evolution. We are enlightened! If air is issuing forth from our hindquarters it is wind of the highest vibration! It is not in fact flatulence but pure soma! Everyone knows that enlightened beings create only soma in their digestive systems and the soma of the Rajas is of the very finest quality! What you are smelling is the aroma of soma! You should feel honored to get even one whiff of the soma aroma of a Raja even once in your lifetime! He paused to take another swig from the thermos. It is more than the aroma of soma, it is in fact the breath of the gods themselves! We all know from Mahaar-shee's Supreme Knowledge that the Maharishi Vedic Gods™ feast on the soma produced by even a mere meditator. And of course we know the rajas produce only the very finest soma with their ayurvedically correct digestive systems and the Maharishi Vedic Gods™ gorge on this

[FairfieldLife] Bottom Line
The last couple of days, Michael has been taking real trends and real past events in the TM organization over the years and riffing on them, imagining the kind of sick and twisted fantasy world they'd create to live in, given time. He's clearly been HAVING FUN doing this, and has been neither harming anyone here or even mentioning them. If he's made fun of anyone, it was high-ranking (and rank) officials of the TMO, *not* anyone on this forum. And in response, Steve, Willytex, Jim, and others have been reacting like the cultists they are, insinuating all the terrible things all of this HAVING FUN mean about Michael. Which do you think are acting more like cultists, eh? Which can't stand to have the things they're attached to made FUN of? Lurking reporters, pay attention. T'would seem that by making fun of big-time TM cultists (the Rajas, Bevan Morris, and King Tony), Michael has struck a nerve in the lesser cultists, and they're reacting as if he'd physically attacked them. I just live it when cultists prove what they are...

Although we humor him and allow him this small indulgence of making your existence up, of imagining you actually exist, it is kind of interesting to watch how he 'handles' you. He directs your attention where he thinks it is required and sets up the scenarios in order to bring the caged animals here at FFL to do certain tricks in order to make clear how they think and operate in all the aberrational ways that being a cultist entails. Personally, I never heard that term until recently, ever since bawee has trotted it out (repeatedly) as if he gets a hard on every time he writes it. I know you know that we know that this little experiment of monitoring FFL is really all about bawee; he is the guy who you are really studying. First, you were able to convince him that you are real. Second you have successfully talked him into posturing in all the right ways in order to not only sacrifice his integrity (if there exists such a thing for him) by being willing to write any sort of repetitive nonsense with regard to his innumerable unsupported assertions and theories. Thirdly, although he doesn't realize it and you know he has no idea, the rest of us not a part of the little boy's club are doing a super duper job of helping to reveal the strange subject that is bawee, this freak of nature, this self-absorbed disappointed tired old man. Have fun with that, I certainly am but after I while it gets a little like shooting fish in a barrel. Sincerely, Ann

The foam there is laced with gold dust and the sheets are a thousand count real Egyptian cotton grown in India by Movement Indians. Rumors that the Egyptian cotton farmers were being exploited by Girish and the Indian Movement boys were…well, you know. At one time the Rajas had insisted on all silk sheets to fly on but these had proven too slippery and there had been quite a few collisions before they were exchanged for the cotton variety. Rumors that the rajas had cursed each other out using decidedly un-vedic language while holding their bleeding heads was just that, rumor. Bevan cleared his throat and began in that distinctive accent of his. I have a few announcements before we begin the morning's program. First of all, I want to put to rest the very scurrilous rumors that have been circulating around the community for the last several weeks that the Rajas, our highly regarded and sattvic Rajas have been eating meat, pork meat no less and that it has been producing a good deal of flatulence on the part of the Rajas and this pork meat flatulence odor is ruining the programs of some of you here in the Mahaar-shee Patanjali Golden Dome of Pure Knowledge. Bevan paused and primped his mouth up in a very disapproving way before he continued his exposition of new knowledge. These are horrid rumors and there is not a shred of truth in any of them. Let me remind you that all of our illustrious Rajas are fully enlightened, and I mean fully enlightened. Don't waste my time after program asking me what level of enlightenment I mean. When I say enlightened rajas, I mean full enlightenment! That which is beyond Brahmin consciousness! If we think of rajas, we must think of that which is beyond Brahmin consciousness at all times! Here Bevan paused and took out a couple of chocolate cookies from an inner robe pocket and began to delicately devour them. Crumbs fell from his mouth onto the expensive sheets beneath his rather large feet. A small form darted out of the shadows behind Bevan and immediately made for those feet. As Bevan munched, the small skinny boy surreptitiously scooped up cookie crumbs and hurriedly stuffed them in his own mouth shooting questioning looks every now and again at Bevan as if fearful of being corrected on his behavior. Those who could see this byplay nodded and smiled. They knew it was Bevan's Indian punkawalla. All the Rajas had them. The little punkawalla was doing his job cleaning up after Bevan and all was right with the world, felt the Governor who smiled and nodded too. Bevan looked down at the boy and spoke a quiet word. The punkawalla leapt to his feet and sped back into an area that was curtained off from the rest of the Dome with very expensive sheets of linen embroidered with scenes from the Mahabharata. Moments later he emerged with a solid gold thermos that everyone assumed was filled with warm water, but the punkawalla swerved his nose away from the bottle when he opened it. The suggestions some had made that perhaps Bevan kept some beverage a bit stronger in his Maharishi Golden Thermos™ were crude, coarse and not to be believed. Bevan took a long draught from the bottle, smacked his lips, waved the punka away and continued. As I was saying, when we think of the rajas, we think of the pinnacle of human evolution. We are enlightened! If air is issuing forth from our hindquarters it is wind of the highest vibration! It is not in fact flatulence but pure soma! Everyone knows that enlightened beings create only soma in their digestive systems and the soma of the Rajas is of the very finest quality! What you are smelling is the aroma of soma! You should feel honored to get even one whiff of the soma aroma of a Raja even once in your lifetime! He paused to take another swig from the thermos. It is more than the aroma of soma, it is in fact the breath of the

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Bottom Line
No different than Mahar-shee or Amma - everyone who sees them feels whatever they feel and it in their consciousness perhaps so it kind of doesn't make any difference who the so-called guru is. It may be some cosmic trick or blessing that makes experiences happen in the company of self-styled gurus. I guess the Universe, if it gives a crap at all thinks it would be too mind bending if we had these cosmic experiences everytime we saw the public bis driver or the bag lady on the street. Now I'll wait for some TM sycophant to blabber about how they have cosmic experiences all the time when they see bag ladies and what's wrong with me that I malign homeless people. And it does appear that you are as obsessed with Barry as Stevie is with me.

RE: [FairfieldLife] The Meissner Effect of Consciousness and its spiritual Darshan The Dawn of a New Age
The Wiki bit is a pretty good summary. The night before the takeover was to be revealed to the students, Maharishi (who was secretly in the Phillipines, although we were not told that) kept us all up half the night cooking up elaborate plans involving stringing many Christmas lights around campus, big banners, etc. His idea of a festive announcement. It backfired. We ended up with negative banner headlines in the papers every day and protestors marching in the street in front of our hotel. There were bomb threats, and a serious fire at the couples’ hotel. I don’t remember whether anyone died it in, but it was serious.

But, some things Rama said might be way over MJ's head - he seems like a simple type of guy who prefers posting fallacies and arguments that uses poor reasoning. Go figure. At some point, Barry seems to have made a spiritual 180 and repudiated almost everything he learned from his old gurus - Rama and MMY. It is simply amazing the effect Judy had on Barry - /turning him into the exact opposite of what he once was/ - an aspiring spiritual teacher. Can you believe that Barry was once a True Believer and a Rama student? Then, Judy hurt his ego real bad, to the point that Barry did a whole spiritual 180 on a public forum right in front of everyone. It's been a spectacle for sure! The long-term effects of being in a few cults for so long - almost half of Barry's adult life - and then to be tortured by Judy for ten years in a public flogging, there's no telling how deep is the cognitive dissonance and the disassociation. what we really need is Dr. Pete to make a long-term analysis.

[FairfieldLife] TM story from one of my students
Send by sister, who runs the TM center in Evanston, Illinois: from a young woman My experience with TM: Going into TM, I was unsure what the benefits I would find from this practice. I suffer from severe anxiety and am on medication just to make it through the day to keep it under control. Within a few weeks of starting practicing TM, I found not only did I need to take my medications as often, but overall my stress and anxiety levels were much lower. Through TM, I was able to learn to keep myself from getting myself to getting to the point where I felt the same anxiety, depression or stress as I previously did. As I continue to practice, I continue to find more and more things that don’t “trigger” these feelings and overall I feel more at peace. After a few months of practicing, I can now meditate on a packed bus or CTA train and I don’t even notice the noise or people around, nor do I have any feelings of anxiety. Overall, my health has improved, my mental health has improved and I feel happier than I ever have. TM has changed my life in so many ways, it truly has brought me peace I have never been able to obtain on my own or with medications. I only wish I could found this sooner.

The siddhas and governors themselves wouldn't have to remove the sheets, that was done by a team of meditators who had been carefully vetted and investigated by the Purusha Police before being given license to enter the Domes for menial labor. Most labor jobs were now done by the meditators. It was an excellent set up for the siddhas and governors because, due to Vedic Law, the meditators were available at all times of day and night when the more important members of Vedic Society were needing to rest, do program or have meetings. Since everyone in the New Vedic State of Iowa who had the siddhis was enlightened it was no longer deemed necessary to have meditators do group program anymore since the siddhas, governors and Rajas supplied enough sattva for the entire planet. To be sure the meditators had to meditate twice a day, that was Vedic Law, but they had to squeeze their meditations in wherever they could since it was much more important for them to serve the governors and siddhas. It was considered their tapas for enlightenment. At one time serious consideration was undertaken to make the Governors serve the Rajas and the siddhas serve the governors the governors and themselves and the meditators were reserved for septic tank cleaning, road kill removal and so on. Some very wealthy and Movement powerful siddha families eventually got that idea quashed, although Neal Patterson, Supreme Ruler of the Vedic Nation of Canada had instituted that very program in his country after the Governors and Siddhas had taken over the country and converted it to a Vedic Society. Just after this law of siddha servitude was enacted, there was a mass exodus of siddhas from Canada to the US. Supreme Ruler Neal tried to get them back, but Big Bevan told him not to send his Canuck Purusha across the border. The allegation that some of the Canadian siddhas offered their women to Bevan in exchange for asylum was of course rumor. Bevan did privately offer to send some of the siddhas back, but only in exchange for Supreme Ruler Neal getting his hands on one of the Vedic State's most wanted – a Canadian woman who had once made the nastiest allegations about the Rajas crowns being made of tin. Unfortunately this former MIU graduate lived in British Columbia, the one segment of Canada that had not been taken over by the Movement. Neal sent some Purusha who had a fascination for ninja literature and fancied themselves to be Purusha ninja, but being inept they failed to even identify the woman they were after and several of them were caught and jailed by the BC police. Next the European Rajas sent a contingent of German Purusha to do the job and they proved even more inept. They did find the woman but she kicked the asses of five of them before the BC police arrived to cart them off. When Bevan mocked Supreme Ruler Neal's efforts things went downhill. The last meeting the two men had in a border town in North Dakota had not gone well. But none of the Purusha guards who had been assigned to security for the meeting would ever confirm that shouts of Fat ass Yank! and Fucking Canuck Puff! had been heard behind closed doors there. Exiting the Dome was going slowly and as Governor approached the exits in the four abreast line he was moving in, he saw the reason. Tables had been set up nearly blocking the exits. Behind the tables sat numerous Ministers of Donations, Collections and Revenue. This was by far the largest of the Movement Ministries and it looked like nearly half its Vedic State of Iowa Ministers were right there blocking the exits from the Dome. No one could get by without first dropping cash or checks into the hands of the Ministers. King Tony and Bevan were gleefully overseeing the Raja Crown and Robe Collection Fund. That's it boys! Give till it hurts! crowed Bevan who along with King Tony caressed each check before handing it over to the Ministers. Slowly Governor reached the table and wrote out a large and generous check. He handed it to Bevan who looked at it and nodded. Good boy! Keep that up and you may become a Raja yet! King Tony quickly clapped his hand over his own mouth to stifle a snort, but the Ministers all snickered with abandon. Governor didn't mind giving such a large donation because he knew he would make the money back just by walking around outside. Governor had spontaneously developed the siddhi that caused rubies and other precious gems to leap out of the ground and into his pockets. He should have been a very wealthy man as a result, but the mandatory 90% Maharishi Vedic Tax™ on all siddha and governor income required him to give most of his gems to the Movement. He was an extremely popular governor as a result of his siddhi, but it was also the reason he would never become a Raja. Rajas were exempt

Rick,This is very nice of you to pass this along. I wonder...can you now come back to the practice as Maharishi offered it. You probably already know this but practicing one Teacher's mantra with a different Teacher's method, ain't going to work. In this case there is no synergy. Best of all, Dan

I don’t remember whether anyone died it in, but it was serious. People were clinging to balconies and had to be rescued with fire truck ladders. Some non-meditators were hurt in the fire. Forgot his name, but Maharishis smallish, friendly Canadian secretary rushed into the hotel 20 minutes before the fire started, ran through the corridors on all floors and ordered everyone out immediately. All meditators got out unhurt.

I suffer from severe anxiety and am on medication just to make it through the day to keep it under control. Within a few weeks of starting practicing TM, I found not only did I need to take my medications as often, but overall my stress and anxiety levels were much lower. Through TM, I was able to learn to keep myself from getting myself to getting to the point where I felt the same anxiety, depression or stress as I previously did. As I continue to practice, I continue to find more and more things that don’t “trigger” these feelings and overall I feel more at peace. After a few months of practicing, I can now meditate on a packed bus or CTA train and I don’t even notice the noise or people around, nor do I have any feelings of anxiety. Overall, my health has improved, my mental health has improved and I feel happier than I ever have. TM has changed my life in so many ways, it truly has brought me peace I have never been able to obtain on my own or with medications. I only wish I could found this sooner.

Thank you for the disinformation. Good luck with that.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Bottom Line
You sorta just don't get it Mike. Context is everything. Evidently you had a fart joke in part 2 of your story. And it probably was at a third grade level (not the writing, just the joke), and so it fell flat. Ann is using farts in a different context, and it makes sense, and is a good use of it. Context Mikey, context. It's what's for dinner. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, mjackson74@... wrote : you're in denial - plus, you took me to task for using flatulence jokes in my last piece and here you are doing it too.

It may be some cosmic trick or blessing that makes experiences happen in the company of self-styled gurus. I guess the Universe, if it gives a crap at all thinks it would be too mind bending if we had these cosmic experiences everytime we saw the public bis driver or the bag lady on the street. Now I'll wait for some TM sycophant to blabber about how they have cosmic experiences all the time when they see bag ladies and what's wrong with me that I malign homeless people. And it does appear that you are as obsessed with Barry as Stevie is with me. Obsession, cultists, neganauts, sycophants, true believers - the list goes on. These labels are getting overused, are mostly not accurate anyway, and are just a lazy person's way of cataloguing people. If bawee went away (please God, make it happen) I would never think about him or talk about him. I only address his silliness here because I'm one of those people who have to open the window when someone in the room farts. No one is obsessed with anyone here that I can see. You seem to spend a lot of time talking about TM and Maharishi. Steve is having an interaction with you and you with him. Does this make you and him obsessed with each other? Not in my book.

After all, he's on record for having positively swooned reading Road Trip episodes, so yes, you do need to return the favor. Even more admirable is that you are setting aside vacation time to do so. I really didn't think the situation had deteriorated to this point, but I guess it had. Any feedback to share on how the reporters are taking to Michael's episodes? Are they frantically making notes on how each of the cultists here are reacting? Gotta love it. Enjoy vacation!

If he's made fun of anyone, it was high-ranking (and rank) officials of the TMO, *not* anyone on this forum. And in response, Steve, Willytex, Jim, and others have been reacting like the cultists they are, insinuating all the terrible things all of this HAVING FUN mean about Michael. Which do you think are acting more like cultists, eh? Which can't stand to have the things they're attached to made FUN of?
