OK, this is a classic example of the *intent* I
spoke of in a post last week, "Thou shalt not
suffer a TM critic to be thought well of."
As I see it (and Vaj...I like you, guy, but I'm
going to be almost as critical of you in this
rap as I am of the "pile on" crew) the thread
started with Vaj saying something that pushed
EmptyBill's ego buttons and made him squeal
"Gotcha" inwardly. He leaped into the fray with
his normal *intent* and modus operandi, which
is "spiritual dick size contest." Another way
of stating this intent and standard operating
procedure is "Gotcha you s.o.b. Nyh nyh
I know more than you, and thus my spiritual
dick is longer than yours."
To his discredit, Vaj often does the exact same
thing. Who the fuck CARES what you guys know
from what you have read about *other people's
spiritual experiences*? Every time you two get
into one of these armchair academic dick-size
contests, I consider BOTH of your dicks smaller.
Then the "pile ons" started. And that's an
*intent* of a different color, in my opinion.
Randy Meltzer contributed the only substance to
the "pile on" followups. He cited his own exper-
ience having been to Jyotir Math. I have no
problem with this, although in a followup it
appears that, like EmptyBill, Randy has an
ongoing grudge against Vaj based on some
interaction in the past.
But the *rest* of the "pile-on" folks? They had
one and only one *intent* -- "Gotta demonize
the TM critic." Judy, as usual, contributed
nothing of substance. She can't. She is neither
intelligent enough nor experienced enough in
these topics *to* contribute substance. So she
did what she always does, and used it to play
"Gotcha" against Vaj. The idea being sold to
lurkers here is, "If EmptyBill 'caught' Vaj
in one mistake or 'lie,' then you should not
believe *anything* Vaj says." Then, having had
her TM critic demonization orgasm for the day,
she lights a cigarette and kicks back. :-)
Nabby is even less intelligent, and has even
less experience in the spiritual marketplace,
so all he can contribute is a mis-understanding
of and misquoting of "All hat, no cattle." Again,
there is no attempt to contribute anything of
substance, only the *intent* to demonize a TM
critic.
Next comes shukra69, contributing nothing more
than a dig at Buddhism. Again, the *intent* is
clear. Add no substance, just "pile on" to play
"demonize the TM critic." Share a cigarette
afterwards with Judy. :-)
Then comes Shemp, making the only funny comment
in the whole thread. Well said, Shemp. I com-
pletely agree with you. Clean *intent* there.
Then comes (sadly) Lurk. His point may be accurate,
that Vaj *does* bail from the endless dick-size
contests that EmptyBill trots out, but who wouldn't?
Then comes Raunchydog, again with zero content,
only the compulsive *intent* of "piling on" to
a TM critic.
Then comes Robert, doing the same thing.
ARE YOU PEOPLE DERANGED?
Yes, Vaj pisses people off. Yes, Vaj has a 'tude-
and-a-half about TM and its followers. But do you
think that YOUR "Gotta get him" 'tude is any
better or more "evolved?"
The only thing sadder in my opinion than two
supposedly grown men confusing "truth" with the
stuff that they've read in books is believing that
the "truth" they prefer has anything to do with
the size of their dicks. It doesn't. Only the
size of their egos.
And the only thing sadder than *that* is people
who act as "spectators" to the dick-size contest
and "pile on" when they perceive one of the
participants as losing. What does THAT say
about their state of consciousness, eh?
