Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Peep Show
Sort of. It took me awhile to recognize that this place has been allowed to deteriorate one post at a time, deliberately. Once I saw that, that this is Rick's intention and legacy, I was OK with it. For the longest time, I simply thought he wasn't doing his job as moderator, when in fact he is precisely enabling the behavior he wants to see on here, and always has been. I have no issues with that at all - like I said, it just took me awhile to see it. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : The funny thing is the more they go on about FFL and the need for moderating the more Rick is likely to keep it up the way it is. After what FFL has always been is a place for people who have on thing in common, that they were involved in TM, to share their outlook on everything, not just TM or spirituality. I've always said it's like the "off topic" sections many forums have. On 06/07/2015 04:37 AM, TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@... mailto:turquoiseb@...

I think you need to figure out why you have issues with damned near everything I write. Not my problem, Xeno. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : One thing the guidelines do not tell you is to not be stupid, which tends to invite repercussions from those who think they know better. Cruelty is sometimes only in appearance. A true master might be very rough with a student (common in historical Zen for example), to wake the student from their slumbers, and appear to be cruel, if that particular student is in need of being aroused that way. The TMO seems rather callous at times, but it not because of a student's need, but an endemic flaw in the org. Some people seem naturally cruel. I have not encountered this on FFL but I have only been here about 1/3 the time FFL has been online. Most of the badgering on FFL seems to come from one person thinking another has made a stupid move and thinking they know better, tell them so in rather certain explicit terms. I do not think any of us have not done this. Now I agree with Buck's comments below about being constantly negative is an issue that can head one toward trouble, but I do not believe the reason he gave from one of Charlie's lectures, even though I liked Charlie. Charlie was fun to listen too, but I thought he was a bit nuts, into a lot of esoteric woo. unkind: uncharitable, unpleasant, disagreeable, nasty, mean, mean-spirited, cruel, vindictive, vicious, spiteful, malicious, callous, unsympathetic, unfeeling, uncaring, unsparing, hurtful, ill-natured, hard-hearted, cold-hearted; unfriendly, uncivil, inconsiderate, insensitive, and hostile — if you can face this, you might be a candidate for invincibility, and if not, you might be a candidate for ridicule if you are promoting a technique that promotes invincibility, but it did not work for you, even though you keep saying it does.

Rick enables trolls, and that is definitely against the guidelines here. I hope that clears things up. I understand your confusion, as you have yet to run or moderate a forum, but perhaps you could understand the issue better next time, before posting? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : It is for Yahoo to enforce guidelines, not Rick. According to the Fairfield Life home page, it says specifically in the group settings that 'messages are not moderated'. The choice to moderate content or not is left to the group administrator, and this is a choice Rick has made according to the way Yahoo set up the site. So Alex's job description here does not include moderating the content of the messages either. Yahoo made the guidelines and it is their responsibility if there is a responsibility here, since they also made the option to not moderate content available to the group administrator. The question to ask is why are you still here complaining about it? Your complaints are directed to the wrong people. Yahoo in fact might have far less leeway in enforcing guidelines after the recent supreme court decision concerning on-line free speech. You have your own content-moderated group by choice, so what is drawing you to a place you clearly SAY you do not like? This is insane behaviour. You have obviously not looked at some of the other so-called 'spiritual' groups on Yahoo and other places where similar ideological battles take place. Some get overrun with spam. Quite a lot simply die from lack of interest. Quite a lot of them hide messages from non-members so you cannot see what it is really about without joining. Some are moderated by their administrators, and some are not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Alex, before you and Rick sprain your wrists patting yourselves on the back for creating a "free speech zone", you must be aware that, contrary to the thousands of forums on Yahoo Groups, yours is not in compliance with the guidelines.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Peep Show
Believe me, Alex, after seeing the torpor demonstrated by the moderators here, I have long ago adjusted to the environment. If Rick wants to continue to violate the guidelines, that is on him. Not my problem. I am not here to clean up his mess, nor to take the rap for his laziness and/or ineptitude. I just like to call a spade a spade. After all, isn't that what we do here on FFL, "the free speech zone"? FFL really makes him look bad, too, especially with his new visibility due to his BATGAP interviews. The thing I find puzzling about Rick, is that he has closed down the comments on his BATGAP site, due to trolls, but doesn't have the integrity to deal with the problem here. Not very consistent, almost seems blatantly self-serving. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : If it bothers you that much, feel free to bring the violations to Yahoo's attention.

A few years ago, he offered to transfer ownership of the group to me, and I turned him down.

In any case, Michael, you are welcome at The Peak. We all have differing opinions over there, but discussions are more reserved in nature, and it cuts both ways - there is not the same level of controversy, which can be engaging on FFL, though discussions are also allowed to proceed further than they typically do here. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : nabby and I were never pleasant to one another - I really didn't know of his existence till he began to revile me for having said some (according to him and Dougy) vile things about marshy, which I thought was actually expressing truth but they disagreed and Nabby reviled and that was the way of it.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Peep Show
Xeno, you appear to be giving child molestation a pass, as simply subject to our conditioning. I find this line of thinking inhumane, and morally bankrupt. No need to discuss this further with you, and I recommend that you see a therapist. Something in your core has apparently rotted. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Of course I actually do not know. Estimates range from 1% to 5% of the population. There is a difference between thought and action except when identification is so strong that thought and desire is the only possible reality overriding all alternatives. That it is possible to imagine things, invent things in the mind that are not real but which are disturbing to other people. For example, writers like Stephen King, and makers of horror movies, for example, can dream up all sorts of gruesome things that they would never imagine doing in their private life at home. Take for example the motion picture 'Let the Right One In', a Swedish production. It is a peculiar romance, a love story, set amid the background of vampirism. It is a strange, dark, but wonderfully moving film, and yet I suspect many people would be totally revolted by it, or deeply upset. People's thoughts and conditioning result in many things in this film appearing as somehow real. Truth is never based on what someone said. It is the background by which one might determine how what someone says conforms to what happens in the universe. It is the 'sense' from which logic is born, and the 'sense' that allows us to see difference between thoughts, actions, experiences. There are linear modes of appreciation (thought) and non-linear modes (intuition). Neither is absolutely reliable in determining the states of things, but they are a guide. There were at last post count 23 posters (minus Fairfield Life and Barry posting two different ways). Thus based on statistics there is about 1/4 to one child molester on this forum. We sometimes find the people who object to something strenuously themselves are guilty of that very thing. Barry lives with what seems to be a close knit group; it seems unlikely to me he would be what you think. I usually suspect the most vocal people first, those who make a show of how horrible something is. But in reality we do not have any evidence whatever. Just going by what a person says is not reliable. Have you ever been to the Baby in the Meat Grinder Hamburger Palace? I love horror films. I seldom get my buttons pushed watching horror movies, though it has happened a few times in the past 7 decades. I find romantic movies harder to watch, they push my buttons more. Whatever, but those who react most strongly always seem to me to not be thinking clearly. If something is really that bad in 'real life', you don't run away, you stay and try to do something about it if that is possible. FFL is not exactly real life. Ideas are discussed here, it is a platform for discussion, even though it often devolves into personal rivalries, which I believe is the result of conditioning. If you really want to find out anything directly, you would have to go to the Netherlands. It is much easier to say something. And in the United States, by law, a person is presumed innocent until proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be guilty of something. Statistically, you could be just as guilty of what you spoke about Barry. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : How do you know no one here is a child molester?

Jim on 28 Nov 2014 Rick - Until Barry is removed - Goodbye So, if Jim was true to his word, he ought not be posting to FFL now. So he lied. Judy made no such announcement, just stopped posting one day, but returned 24 April 2015 for a few posts and then on 27 April 2015 wrote, 'You can all relax now.' and 'Now I'm going to go take a long hot bath to wash off the corruption. Phew. Bye.' This implied she was signing off and would prefer not to have to deal with certain people on FFL, for example 'It was the relentless vicious and dishonest personal attacks, led by Barry, on those TM supporters that finally triggered the mass exodus to The Peak.' Judy made references to Barry's thugs, which might include me. However she did not specifically say she would not return. As for me, because Judy said 'I stand by what I wrote', she cannot have a discussion with me without lying because I have not withdrawn or documented certain accusations, Judy saying 'Why don't you fuck off? I'm not going to discuss anything with you until you've documented your accusations, or withdrawn them.' As far as I can tell, Judy is consistent here, as far as never having said she would not return. Returning to a situation that has never resolved is a good example of how the mind's thinking processes revolve in samsara, and this is not a bad thing, rebirth involves both experiences we wish not to revisit and those we wish to.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The Peep Show
No one hates you, Barry. What a ridiculous thing to assert. I don't hate you. I think you spend way too much time on the Internet, wasting your time, trying to get negative reactions from others, instead of finding a woman to share your heart with. I certainly don't hate you, though - I am in a different league from you. With the little that you have accomplished in life, I can't compare myself to you. That would be cruel. Anyway, me hate you? Not a chance. Do I think you are throwing your life away? Yes, I do. Once again, this "everyone hates Barry" routine, is another strawman fantasy that prevents you from helping yourself. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : I know they're trying to start up their old Mean Girls Club "Hate Barry sessions" again, but I'm trying to ignore them so that they don't drag FFL back into the gutter of their own state of consciousness again. I'm not surprised to see Jim and his minions continuing to plague FFL so they can drop their "Get Barry" bombs. After all, that's really why they "left." Jimbo made a big stink about nothing because he was attempting to badger Rick into throwing me off of the forum. When Rick called his bluff and ignored him, Jimbo was stuck over their on Boring Forum, having to make up new lies about his supposed enlightenment every day to keep the people he'd suckered into following him there entertained. Personally I think his most recent attempts to pander to his fellow The_Leak people *by writing to them on FFL* are (dare I say it) the peak of silliness and idiocy. He talked these poor people into running away from this "negative" forum and now he writes *to* them here, having created a situation in which they're so bored with him and the BS he slings over there on The_Leak that they have to come back here and read FFL every day just to get by. What makes it even more embarrassing for him (and more hilarious for us to watch) is that he has to do all of this while pretending to be three different people. As for the Judester, it is kinda surprising that she's still so *obviously* stuck in Hate Barry Mode. I don't think she's made a *single* post in either of her drive-bys that *didn't* attempt to demonize Barry and his (her new favorite word) thugs. One would think that if a person is trying to claim they "left" FFL for positive reasons, they shouldn't undercut that claim by coming back every so often to prove that she's still *just as negative as ever* and towards *the same people as ever* -- Barry and anyone who dares to like him. But, as Salyavin suggests, I guess we have to be somewhat compassionate towards these dweebs because WE -- the ones they obsess on and have *been* obsessing on for years -- are clearly the most interesting people in their lives. They may claim to hate us, but they *clearly* can't live without us. I hate going on about it in case anyone thinks I'm reciprocating what I claim to dislike or even provoking it, but it is funny to see Judy coming over all self-righteous. Anyone would think she was some sort of ultra-pure force for good on here when the reality of it is that she was as aggressive and intense as they come. Why, even WillyTex came out of character long enough to call her a mean spirited old bag for her endless haranguing of Share. And it was hardly just Share, Judy loves arguing and when she took a dislike to someone she was happy to drive them off. If the peaksters want her as their queen bee I'm happy for them but it does underline what I'm going on about as far as self awareness goes.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Is Astrology Science?
Nope. Wrong direction for you, Barry. Does dreaming up new insults for me, do anything to get you closer to the woman of your dreams? Try something else for awhile. Dating, as I suggested. Or renovate your house – do some work that pays off physically. This will boost your self-confidence. Always works for me. You're like the guy that took a cab to the 25th mile of the Hew York marathon, and now runs alongside those who have earned the miles. No street cred. You need to spend some time on some long term relationships, build a family, take up hobbies, build a social circle of friends, purchase and fix up a few homes. Even write a book and get it published. What you are doing here is a waste of both our time and our energy. Try something new. Here's hoping you find a special woman in your life. It's not a matter of being nicer, its a matter of moving on, seeking new horizons, traveling out of the familiar ruts. Based on our comparative histories, you have a ways to go.

Never mind that Xeno posts some of the most thoughtful and challenging posts here and is never rude or arrogant or condescending about anything. He is judged by the company he keeps and that is that. Call me a skeptic if you like, but does that suggest to you a well developed state of consciousness? How much Marshy-style enlightenment does one need before they can look at themselves with a modicum of self-awareness and say "I wonder if the problem is me?" So let's all hate Xeno. It's easier than thinking. Not to mention how much easier it is to make hate-posts on FFL under an alias than it is to stay on The_Leak and use your real name. How many fake IDs *has* Jim posted under so far? He *finally* admitted only yesterday to having been "enlightened_dawn11" and there must have been a dozen other names that he used on FFL before that. Back in the day, his particular form of crazy was to spin out of control under one of these names, embarrass himself thoroughly, throw a tantrum, and then disappear for a while. Then he'd come back with a whole new posting ID and attempt to "start over," never realizing that we could *always* tell it was him because he always hated the same people and never could keep from declaring himself better than everyone else. Now he's *theoretically* over on the "nicer" forum he created called The_Leak, but it doesn't seem to be holding *his* attention any more than it's holding anyone else's. He has to "sneak out at night" and get his hate-fix by ragging on the same people on FFL that he did before, just under another made-up alias. It must really suck to be him if he can't even be honest enough to post under his name.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: What's so hard about leaving a place and actually *leaving* it?
Wow, counting my posts and everything. Here is more of you obsessing about me - four full pages, single spaced. What a loser.:-) :-) :-) Any time you want to stop slandering me, I'll forget about you faster than a rocketship to the moon. Your choice, my dear. :-) What's always boggled my mind is how many of the people who have *BEEN* "kept in line" by TM teachers and "Governors of the Age of Enlightenment" (I mean...just *think* about that term, and that people are *so* brainwashed that they take it for granted and never question it) react. Rather than resenting having been told what they can and cannot do and what they can and cannot think for years by these dweebs, *they aspire to be just like them*. Thus you find people like Jim Flanegin, who never had what it took to become a TM teacher, wanting to become just like them and impose his will on others and force them to live the way *he* wants them to. In a very real sense, this strikes me as the same kind of "inherited behavior" we see in victims of child abuse. Instead of growing up to hate such abuse, they tend to grow up to become abusers themselves. I find the very existence of "The_Leak" quite fascinating. It started because one person on FFL (Jim Flanegin) had a grudge against another person on FFL (moi) because he wouldn't buy into his (ludicrous) claims of being enlightened. "Mr. Enlightened" got angrier and angrier and angrier until one day I used a throwaway phrase to make a point, and Jimbo went fuckin' crazy over it and started slinging libel accusing me of being a pedophile, and encouraging people to sic the authorities on me in the real world. He *also* did the same thing that Doug/Buck is *still* doing, and started appealing to Rick Archer to have me "thrown off" of FFL, and created whole threads with this in the Subject line, thus smearing my name in search engines. Rick of course ignored him like the idiotic control freak he was acting like. Me, because what he was doing was ILLEGAL and the very definition of libel, I sicced the Dutch cops on his ass. "Mr. Enlightened" reacted by not only NOT apologizing for the libel, but by running away and forming his own group, where he has now developed a history of banning anyone who dares to say something he doesn't like. It's not just the COWARDICE of all of this that gets me, but the "abused trying to become the abuser" phenomenon that makes me roll my eyes. After all these years of being indoctrinated by the TM movement, it's understandable that someone with as weak an intellect as Jimbo's can no longer even *conceive* of thinking any way other than he's been told to think. What is less understandable is that he wants to be able to do to other people what was done to him. I guess he finally managed it, by creating a forum on which *HE* has the final word on what anyone can say and what they can't. I hope he's finally happy. That would be a first, in the entire time I've "known" him on the Internet. I honestly hope that Jimbo and his followers have a grand time over on The_Leak. He gets to finally be the control freak he's always wanted to be, and his "followers" get to feel superior to those they've left behind. But the bottom line is that they simply couldn't handle dealing with a forum on which people were allowed to express their own ideas as they wanted. They're only comfortable on a forum in which the ways they're *allowed* to interact with others is dictated to them. If anyone is looking to define "the legacy of the TM movement," I would suggest that this is it.I did my weekly scan of The_Leak this morning as my Dutch cop friends have advised me to do, just to make sure that the weasel who created the group isn't still spouting libel about me. He doesn't seem to be, so it would seem that even the dumbest people can finally learn if you just hit them over the head with reality enough times. :-)However, scanning a few of the posts quickly just to get a feel for what they talk about over there, it occurs to me that a few of them are still holding onto grudges and fostering the notion that they were "pushed out" of FFL and "forced" to create another group because Rick didn't "protect" them and their interests on FFL. This strikes me as so delusional I felt I should discuss it a bit. First, Fairfield Life was NEVER created "for them," meaning as a place of refuge (the actual word that Buck used in one of his latest gripes) for TM True Believers. It's ASTOUNDING that anyone could *possibly* believe that. FFL has -- since Day One -- been the *opposite* of a refuge for TBs. Its charter is right there on the home page for all to see. It is *by design* a place where one has the right to challenge anything and discuss it. FFL was, in fact, created as an *alternative* to the TM movement itself, where you could get yourself excommunicated just for expressing criticism or doubt about the official TM dogma, Maharishi, or even TM itself.

Without you we would be nothing, you hear me lurker_reporter. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Here's my theory, which is mine. I have long noticed the vehemence and exaggerated outrage with which long-term TMers (and especially current or former TM teachers) react to having the C word aimed in their direction. This is curious, because many of them use the C word all the time to describe *other* organizations that they see as "competing" with TM, as in "Sure, Scientology is a cult because of its weird beliefs about alien overlords bringing humans to Earth in space ships and then dropping them in volcanos, but when we talk about the Vedic gods and how *they* created the Earth, we're being rational." But the moment that term is applied to TMers -- or horror!, to themselves -- they flip out and go crazy. I think that this *consistent* overreaction to the C word is because most of these former TM teachers' minds are still controlled by the D word. The D word started being a big thing in their lives shortly after they returned from their TM Teacher Training Course. On that course, they had learned the things they were supposed to say in intro lectures, primary among which was, "TM is not in any way religious." But also on that course, they had learned the puja, along with its English translation, so they clearly knew not only *that* they were bowing down to Hindu gods every time they performed it, they actually knew these gods' *names*. So now the course is over, and they're giving their first intro lecture and someone asks, "Is TM a religion?" And they look at the person asking the question and they say "No. Absolutely not." And then they repeat the rest of the stock phrases they were taught to parrot whenever this question comes up. Bingo -- the D word. DENIAL. It's *not* IMO as if these people are actually *lying*. They've just learned to compartmentalize things such that when they say "TM is not religious" they manage to DENY what they know from the translation of the puja, that it is *definitely* religious in nature. And the more often they stand up in public and experience this level of DENIAL of what they really know, and "tell stories" that some part of them *knows* isn't true, the more cognitive dissonance they feel, and the more guilty that part of them feels about lying. That GUILT is what I think gets triggered when they hear the C word applied to them. Part of them bristles, because being considered a cultist just doesn't "fit" with how they see themselves. But another part of them -- the part that lied so easily and so smoothly so many times during intro lectures -- realizes that this lying and this level of denial IS part and parcel of being a cultist, so they feel guilty. And that's why they lash out...they *hate* feeling guilty. They want to feel special, and superior, and above all *better* than these people who consider them to be cultists. But that feeling, too marks them as cultists. So that's my theory. It's *just* a theory. I am not presenting it as if it's Truth. So if it pushes your buttons and makes you angry, you might just want to spend a few minutes trying to figure out why. Either that, or you could just stick with being angry and lash

Rather than resenting having been told what they can and cannot do and what they can and cannot think for years by these dweebs, *they aspire to be just like them*. Thus you find people like Jim Flanegin, who never had what it took to become a TM teacher, wanting to become just like them and impose his will on others and force them to live the way *he* wants them to. In a very real sense, this strikes me as the same kind of "inherited behavior" we see in victims of child abuse. Instead of growing up to hate such abuse, they tend to grow up to become abusers themselves. I find the very existence of "The_Leak" quite fascinating. It started because one person on FFL (Jim Flanegin) had a grudge against another person on FFL (moi) because he wouldn't buy into his (ludicrous) claims of being enlightened. "Mr. Enlightened" got angrier and angrier and angrier until one day I used a throwaway phrase to make a point, and Jimbo went fuckin' crazy over it and started slinging libel accusing me of being a pedophile, and encouraging people to sic the authorities on me in the real world. He *also* did the same thing that Doug/Buck is *still* doing, and started appealing to Rick Archer to have me "thrown off" of FFL, and created whole threads with this in the Subject line, thus smearing my name in search engines. Rick of course ignored him like the idiotic control freak he was acting like. Me, because what he was doing was ILLEGAL and the very definition of libel, I sicced the Dutch cops on his ass. "Mr. Enlightened" reacted by not only NOT apologizing for the libel, but by running away and forming his own group, where he has now developed a history of banning anyone who dares to say something he doesn't like. It's not just the COWARDICE of all of this that gets me, but the "abused trying to become the abuser" phenomenon that makes me roll my eyes. After all these years of being indoctrinated by the TM movement, it's understandable that someone with as weak an intellect as Jimbo's can no longer even *conceive* of thinking any way other than he's been told to think. What is less understandable is that he wants to be able to do to other people what was done to him. I guess he finally managed it, by creating a forum on which *HE* has the final word on what anyone can say and what they can't. I hope he's finally happy. That would be a first, in the entire time I've "known" him on the Internet. I honestly hope that Jimbo and his followers have a grand time over on The_Leak. He gets to finally be the control freak he's always wanted to be, and his "followers" get to feel superior to those they've left behind. But the bottom line is that they simply couldn't handle dealing with a forum on which people were allowed to express their own ideas as they wanted. They're only comfortable on a forum in which the ways they're *allowed* to interact with others is dictated to them. If anyone is looking to define "the legacy of the TM movement," I would suggest that this is it.I did my weekly scan of The_Leak this morning as my Dutch cop friends have advised me to do, just to make sure that the weasel who created the group isn't still spouting libel about me. He doesn't seem to be, so it would seem that even the dumbest people can finally learn if you just hit them over the head with reality enough times. :-)However, scanning a few of the posts quickly just to get a feel for what they talk about over there, it occurs to me that a few of them are still holding onto grudges and fostering the notion that they were "pushed out" of FFL and "forced" to create another group because Rick didn't "protect" them and their interests on FFL. This strikes me as so delusional I felt I should discuss it a bit. First, Fairfield Life was NEVER created "for them," meaning as a place of refuge (the actual word that Buck used in one of his latest gripes) for TM True Believers. It's ASTOUNDING that anyone could *possibly* believe that. FFL has -- since Day One -- been the *opposite* of a refuge for TBs. Its charter is right there on the home page for all to see. It is *by design* a place where one has the right to challenge anything and discuss it. FFL was, in fact, created as an *alternative* to the TM movement itself, where you could get yourself excommunicated just for expressing criticism or doubt about the official TM dogma, Maharishi, or even TM itself. How did these bozos who are now holding court over on The_Leak *MISS THAT*? I mean, that defies belief. HOW did they come to believe that FFL was somehow created for *THEM*, and come to believe that

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Why the whiny hysteria we see with Barry is his own fault
Hey Steve, this is getting complicated...Will you please pass on to Barry that he is making it ever more difficult for his application to me, for membership at The Peak, to be approved? His latest outburst, hysterically accusing me of carefully snipping and concatenating his words was very worrisome, as the entire vomitus came from just two screeds he had written earlier. Someone sure doesn't like to be reminded of his less than rational responses these days...He also tries to excuse the picture I posted about a year ago, not photoshopped, of our very portly ex-pat. I remember one of the last things Barry wrote when I would still respond to him, was, "Jim Flanegin is not fucking enlightened!!!" Only it was BOLD and ALL CAPS. Really made his point - lol.

What were the terms a couple of this dweeb's followers posted recently on FFL, claiming that they deplored such tactics? "Misrepresentation?" "Straw man arguments?" This appears to be the counterpart of what Mr. Enlightened was doing shortly before he ran away from FFL with his tail between his legs. Back then he spent hours scouring the Internet for photographs of the same person he didn't like, cropped and modified them in Photoshop to make them look more embarrassing than they really were, and then posted them to FFL. Here he's doing the same thing, only with words. For the record -- and for the benefit of his followers on The_Leak, who we all know will be reading this on FFL -- this is a person who claims to be enlightened, demonstrating how he believes an enlightened person should act. Even if you ignore the total lack of ethics involved in this little exercise in lashing out, you have to wonder how someone supposedly "enlightened" and representing "the peak" of human achievement has that much hatred in his heart and time on his hands... :-) From: "reverse_archery@...

[FairfieldLife] On visiting FFL from The Peak
No problem. Anyone who thinks that The Peak was started as an *exclusive* alternative to FFL, is not thinking clearly. Any time any members at The Peak want to visit over here, leave an opinion, or say anything at all, we will. This is so childish, the few of you left over here, acting like ladies in a sewing circle when someone from The Peak shows up. If you want an exclusive environment with which to bandy about your ideas, then form your own group. Until then, please keep it to yourself. It is annoying. Thanks.

In evaluating what he has to say, regarding these endless rants against TM, it suddenly occurred to me that if I were to compare Barry’s REAL life, against mine and those in my social circle, he has accomplished very little. He strikes me as someone who has lived so much of his life in a spiritual cocoon, and wearing his ‘anti-cult’ glasses, now spreads the warning *of his own experience* tirelessly, not realizing that most of us, certainly everyone I know, has managed to simply elude the snares he rails against incessantly. His life’s reality, focused unerringly on turning others away from the spiritual dependency he lived for decades, is so tiny, so restricted, so unsuccessful, compared to the life I live, it becomes something very much about Barry, but with little relevance to me. He has made up his mind long ago about those who have faithfully practiced TM, and the notion that someone has accomplished the goal, in spite of his judgments and assumptions, drives him mad. It is just not at all my problem, and something he will have to resolve on his own. Or not. :-)"

Have a nice day. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Sounds to me as if Jim Flanegin, concerned that the number of posts made each day in the last week on The_Leak is less than half of the number of registered members, and that the only reason the number of people actually making these posts is greater than 8 this week is that Rick posted a couple of times, suddenly realizes that he is not getting nearly the amount of attention he needs. So he reads FFL and realizes that once again Barry is making valid points of criticism about Maharishi and the TM movement that none of the TM supporters there can refute. Of course a couple of die-hard cultists have piled on to him to try to demonize him so that lurkers don't pay attention to the fact that what he's saying is fact, but that doesn't seem to be working. Horrors. So Jimbo realizes he has to come to the rescue. Because *he* can't refute the facts that Barry's been posting either (because...duh...they're facts), the only thing he can do is make up slander about Barry, the way he used to before he ran away from FFL with his tail between his legs. But, he realizes, he can't even do *that* any more because everyone will know it's him, and will know that even *he* is so bored with the trivial mind-pablum that passes for discussion on The_Leak that he has to come back to FFL to get his throw-some-nastiness-around fix. Jimbo realizes that to pull this off he's going to have to create a new ID, and spends 15 whole minutes trying to decide whether to make this one male or female. Finally, deciding that he *still* hasn't gotten over the embarrassment of pretending to be a woman called enlightened_dawn11 for months, he decides on the name ak_ak, because that's the sound his throat makes involuntarily every time he realizes that someone's getting more attention than he is. He adds a random number to the end of ak_ak and lets fly, making up stuff he imagines about Barry's day. Then, spent, he goes back to *his* day, which consists of sitting in front of his computer, staring at the screen, clicking Return every 30 seconds, saying, "Why hasn't anyone said anything about me yet?" Meanwhile, Barry dashes off this post in a couple of minutes to make him feel better, because someone finally has. :-) :-) :-) From: ak_ak_0828 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 11:41 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Barry Wright's nar-ci-fan-ta-stun-ted world Barry Wright's nar-ci-fan-ta-stun-ted world 12:00 pm - 05:00 am A restless dreamy sleepy stupor, imaginary battles with Richard & Steve on FFL (now that the likes of Judy, Robin, Emily, Ann, Jim, Ravi aren't around).

Oh shut up, you big blowhard.

No, Barry Wright, you live with what you did, take responsibility for it, and stop the pity party. You frequently act like an asshole, and apparently can't take it, when it blows right back in your face. You are immature, and in great denial. To say I am the crazy one, after threatening at least three people here with being reported to the Dutch Police and Interpol, because it was YOU, who used the phrase, "Maharishi butt-fucking babies", is such a joke, as Emily and Steve pointed out to you, several times yesterday. No one else said it. YOU SAID IT. Now fuck off, and shut up, you crazy old fart. And stay away from the kiddies.

He's *admitted* on this forum that he doesn't really believe that I'm a pedophile, but he keeps posting saying I'm one anyway -- that is the very essence of "malice aforethought." I really don't know what happened to Jim to make him this crazy, but I for one am really tired of him taking his insanity out on me.

Right on. Barry needs to watch himself around the children. His lack of accountability, and ridiculous threats are a huge red flag. Why there are those who enable him this way, I'll never know. I don't believe for a minute this was some sort of 'fealty test', for followers of Maharishi. This was an attempt to put people down as Barry has been doing all his life, and yet, his choice of subject matter may reveal other tendencies in him, that he tries mightily to keep hidden.

Yes, I am astonished that anyone is bent out of shape by it. Barry is once again turning himself into a pretzel.

The guy who threw a drama queen fit and tried to extort Rick into banning someone he didn't like (moi), and then when that failed threw another drama queen fit and stalked loudly off the forum to start his own supposedly "moderated" and "insanity-free" forum, claiming he'd never be back on FFL as long as it contained the person he didn't like, has lasted less than a month "away." Like clockwork, he's back on FFL -- AGAIN -- with a new name -- AGAIN -- ragging on the same person he was obsessed with before -- AGAIN. And please bear in mind we're talking about a guy who claims he's ENLIGHTENED. For a short time, he actually seemed to be pulling off his sham "Come to The_Peak...it's all peaceful and fluffy and light" routine, limiting himself to inane Newage topics and self-promotion over there. But obviously the lack of someone to dump on begins to wear on him, so he feels the need to return to FFL to rip off some of its members and entice them to join his group and *tries* to start an argument, starting by calling *this* forum the home of "over-the-top insanity." When a couple of people call him on this, he has one of his normal FFL meltdowns and starts hurling insults, *including* the slanderous kind that are going to get his retarded ass locked up if he's not careful. Now he announces his intention to keep coming back to FFL to do the same thing, whenever he feels the need to. He'll be all peaceful and lovey-dovey over on The_Leak, and use this place to take periodic "gotta dump on somebody" breaks. All while being ENLIGHTENED.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Subscribe to "The Peak" - An alternative to FFL
Incorrect. My point is that when someone suddenly begins using that language, while also newly having access to children, it raises a red flag, and it would with anyone, whether it was Barry Wright saying these horrid things, or even his mom, who was probably a nice lady. As a friend of mine said, "Who even thinks that way?" Yes, the expression is deeply disturbing, and I only mention it to underscore this issue. How you and others can defend this type of statement is beyond me. This is *not* my attempt to "get Barry" as he constantly fantasizes. I am raising awareness that a potentially deeply disturbed individual is around kids, and we ougtha watch him more carefully. That's it.:-) OK, back to The Peak.

I can appreciate your sensitivity, though you expressed no such qualms, when Turq made a reference to "Maharishi butt-fucking babies". His exact words, a month ago. And you are repeating it right now, here, verbatim. That means your whole act is hypocritical, because, if it offends you, why would you repeat it? I guess context is everything - not that I would like this example, but I understand that it was posted purely as hypothesis - that Maharishi's name was associated with it, was sort of incidental. While I can still understand your reaction, to leave the group, and make your own one - what you are doing now is simply absurd and ridiculus, you come here, and try to pull everybody over to your group in attempt to isolate Turq, that's all too transparent. For that matter, count me out, I'm not interested to join a group with you partonizing. This, along with the knowledge that Turq now lives with, and often babysits, a two year old girl, and had never used language like that before, really got to *my* sensitivities, so much so that I started my own forum. Now here it gets a whole lot weirder from your side: Whily Turq made a purely theoretical hypothesis, you are actually insinuating this for him as a reality. That's a big difference. Not only that, you try to isolate him, and basically destroy this group, together with Buck, who is a lot more outspoken about your real goals. Apparently a lot of people agreed with my sensitivities, too. I guess we are all sensitive in different areas, eh? Anyway if you grow too sensitive for FFL, come on over the The Peak, and let's talk about it.:-) I thought your comment merited a response, though I won't be commenting further on here.
